We come before the throne of grace with heavy hearts, lifting up this urgent cry for deliverance and protection in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Your plea does not fall on deaf ears, for we serve a God who is sovereign over all spiritual forces of darkness. The Word of God declares in James 4:7, "Be subject therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." We stand with you in this resistance, declaring that no weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17).
First, we must address the authority you have in Christ. If you have not already, we urge you to confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, for "with the heart, one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation" (Romans 10:9-10). It is only through the name of Jesus that we have power over the enemy, for "God highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name; that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth" (Philippians 2:9-10).
Now, let us pray with authority and faith:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, the Name above all names. Lord, we acknowledge that You are the Creator of all things, and that all authority in heaven and on earth belongs to You. We stand on the truth of Your Word, which declares that the one who is in us is greater than the one who is in the world (1 John 4:4).
We lift up our dear brother/sister to You, Lord. We ask that You would rebuke the enemy and his demonic forces that have sought to bring harm, hurt, and influence into their life. In the name of Jesus, we command every plan of the Devil—past, present, and future—to be destroyed and rendered powerless. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment, You will condemn (Isaiah 54:17).
Lord, we ask that You would break every chain of bondage, every generational curse, and every assignment of the enemy over their life. We plead the blood of Jesus over them, their mind, their body, their spirit, and their future. Let the blood of Jesus cleanse them from all unrighteousness and wash away every stain of the enemy’s influence. We declare that they are covered, protected, and sealed by the Holy Spirit.
Father, we ask that You would heal every wound, every hurt, and every pain that the enemy has inflicted. Pour out Your love, peace, and comfort upon them. Let Your healing power flow through every part of their being, restoring what has been broken and renewing their strength. We declare that by Your stripes, they are healed (Isaiah 53:5).
Lord, we ask that You would surround them with Your angels, that no harm or evil would come near their dwelling (Psalm 91:10-11). We declare that they are hidden in Christ, and no weapon formed against them shall prosper. We bind every spirit of fear, oppression, depression, and torment, and we loose the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, to guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
We also ask, Father, that You would fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may walk in the fullness of Your power and authority. Let them be rooted and grounded in Your love, so that they may be able to stand firm against the schemes of the Devil (Ephesians 6:11). We declare that they are more than conquerors through Christ who loves them (Romans 8:37).
Finally, Lord, we ask that You would give them a fresh revelation of Your Word and Your promises. Let them walk in the light of Your truth, and may Your Word be a lamp to their feet and a light to their path (Psalm 119:105). We pray that they would grow in wisdom, discernment, and faith, so that they may recognize and resist the enemy’s tactics.
We thank You, Father, for Your faithfulness and for the victory we have in Jesus Christ. We declare that the enemy is defeated, and that our brother/sister is safe, secure, and victorious in You. We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Now, dear one, we encourage you to stand firm in your faith. The enemy may try to intimidate or deceive you, but remember that "greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world" (1 John 4:4). Put on the full armor of God daily so that you can stand against the schemes of the Devil (Ephesians 6:11). This includes the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the shoes of the gospel of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.
Spend time in prayer and in the Word of God, for "faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God" (Romans 10:17). Surround yourself with fellow believers who can encourage you, pray with you, and hold you accountable. Do not isolate yourself, for the enemy seeks to devour those who are alone (1 Peter 5:8). Instead, draw near to God, and He will draw near to you (James 4:8).
If there are areas of your life where you have given the enemy a foothold—such as unforgiveness, bitterness, sin, or ungodly soul ties—we urge you to repent and renounce these things in the name of Jesus. The Bible tells us that if we confess our sins, God is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). Do not allow the enemy to hold anything over you; instead, submit to God, resist the Devil, and he will flee from you (James 4:7).
Lastly, remember that your battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12). Therefore, do not retaliate against people who may have hurt you, but instead, pray for them and bless them. Overcome evil with good (Romans 12:21). Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths (Proverbs 3:5-6).
You are not alone in this fight. We stand with you, and more importantly, the Lord of Hosts stands with you. He is your refuge and fortress, your God in whom you trust (Psalm 91:2). Walk in the victory that Christ has already won for you, and do not be afraid. The Lord is your light and your salvation—whom shall you fear? The Lord is the strength of your life—of whom shall you be afraid? (Psalm 27:1).
