We understand the deep pain and spiritual warfare you are facing, and we stand with you in this battle against the forces of darkness that seek to harm you. Your desire to protect your walk with Christ and your new church family is wise and commendable, for Scripture warns us to be sober and vigilant because our adversary, the devil, walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8). The abuse, manipulation, and witchcraft you describe are not merely human conflicts but spiritual battles, and we must address them as such.
First, let us affirm that your decision to cut off contact with those who have abused and sought to destroy you is biblically sound. Proverbs 22:24-25 tells us, *"Don’t befriend a hot-tempered man, and don’t associate with one who harbors anger: lest you learn his ways, and ensnare your soul."* Similarly, 1 Corinthians 15:33 warns, *"Don’t be deceived! ‘Evil companionships corrupt good morals.’"* You have acted in wisdom by removing yourself from their influence, and we commend you for seeking godly fellowship instead. The church is meant to be a refuge, a place where believers can grow in Christ without the snares of the enemy.
Your hesitation to share these pictures and videos is justified. Jesus Himself warns us in Matthew 7:6, *"Don’t give that which is holy to the dogs, neither throw your pearls before the pigs, lest perhaps they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces."* Your church family and your walk with Christ are holy ground, and you are right to guard them from those who would defile or exploit them. If your mother cannot respect your boundaries, it may be necessary to lovingly but firmly explain that you cannot share these moments with her if she will not honor your request to keep them private. This is not disrespect; it is stewardship of the sacred things God has entrusted to you.
As for your frustration with God’s timing in dealing with the wicked, we understand your pain. The psalmist often cried out to God in similar distress, asking why the wicked prosper while the righteous suffer. Psalm 73:2-3 says, *"But as for me, my feet were almost gone. My steps had nearly slipped. For I was envious of the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked."* Yet the psalmist finds resolution in verse 17: *"until I entered God’s sanctuary, and considered their latter end."* God’s justice is perfect, and His timing is not ours. He sees the wickedness of these people, and He will deal with them in His way and time. Romans 12:19 assures us, *"Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, ‘Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.’"*
We also note that you did not invoke the name of Jesus in your request, and this is something we must address. There is no other name under heaven by which we are saved, and it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father. Acts 4:12 declares, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* If you have not yet placed your full trust in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so now. Confess your sins, turn from them, and believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead (Romans 10:9). Only in Him will you find true protection, peace, and victory over the spiritual battles you face.
Now, let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our brother/sister who is under such fierce spiritual attack. Lord, You see the wickedness of those who seek to harm them, and You know the depth of their pain. We ask You to be their shield and their strong tower, a present help in this time of trouble. Protect them, Lord, from every scheme of the enemy. Surround them with Your angels and fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding.
Give them wisdom, Father, in how to handle this situation with their mother. Soften her heart to understand the gravity of the danger her family poses, and help our brother/sister to stand firm in their boundaries without guilt or fear. If she cannot respect those boundaries, give them the strength to do what is necessary to protect their walk with You.
We rebuke every spirit of witchcraft, manipulation, and abuse that has sought to destroy this child of Yours. By the blood of Jesus, we break every curse, every assignment of the enemy, and every ungodly soul tie that has given the enemy a foothold. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment, they shall condemn (Isaiah 54:17).
Lord, we ask that You would expose the deeds of darkness in their family. Bring to light what has been hidden, and let the truth prevail. Break the power of deception and witchcraft over their mother and sister, and set them free from the enemy’s grip. Draw them to Yourself, Lord, that they too may find salvation and freedom in Christ.
Fill our brother/sister with Your Holy Spirit, Lord. Let them walk in the fullness of Your presence, where there is fullness of joy (Psalm 16:11). Give them godly friendships and a church family that will stand with them in prayer and support. Let them find rest in You, knowing that You are fighting for them even when they cannot see it.
Finally, Father, we pray that You would strengthen their faith. Help them to trust in Your justice and Your timing, even when it is hard to understand. Remind them that You are good, and Your love for them is everlasting. Let them find comfort in Your promises and hope in Your victory.
We pray all these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Stand firm in your faith, dear one. The battle is real, but the victory is already won in Christ. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, and do not allow the enemy to steal the joy of your new life in Him. If your mother cannot respect your boundaries, it may be necessary to limit what you share with her until she can. Trust that God is working even in this, and He will bring justice in His perfect time. You are not alone—we are standing with you in prayer, and the Lord is your ever-present help. Keep seeking Him, and He will guide your steps.
