We understand the deep sorrow and turmoil you are experiencing as you witness the destructive behavior of your neighbors and the confusion it has brought into your life. The enemy seeks to sow discord, deception, and strife, but we must stand firm in the truth of God’s Word, trusting that He is sovereign over all things—even the chaos we see around us. Let us address this with biblical clarity, prayer, and a rebuke of the spiritual forces at work.
The passage you referenced in Galatians 5:19-21 is a sobering reminder of the works of the flesh, which include "adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these." Those who practice such things, as Scripture warns, "will not inherit the Kingdom of God." The behavior you describe—meddling, deception, and the bewitching confusion of identities—is rooted in these very works. It is a manifestation of the enemy’s attempt to distort God’s design for marriage, family, and community. The divorce you mention is a tragic consequence of sin, and while we grieve over broken covenants, we must also recognize that God hates divorce (Malachi 2:16) because it reflects the brokenness of our fallen world. Yet even in this, we are called to pray for repentance, restoration, and the redemption of all involved.
Titus 3:3 paints a stark picture of our natural state apart from Christ: "For we were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another." This is the condition of all humanity outside of God’s grace. But the very next verses offer hope: "But when the kindness of God our Savior and his love toward mankind appeared, not by works of righteousness which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy, he saved us through the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior" (Titus 3:4-6). This is the gospel—the power of God to transform even the most broken and deceived hearts. Your neighbors, like all of us, are in desperate need of this saving grace.
Yet we must also address the spiritual confusion and violence you describe. The enemy is a deceiver (Revelation 12:9) who seeks to distort reality, creating chaos where God has ordained order. The bewitching lies—"he is not him, she is not her, I am not her, they are not our relatives"—are not merely human folly but spiritual warfare. This is a direct attack on identity, family, and truth itself. Scripture warns us not to be deceived: "But I fear that somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve in his craftiness, so your minds might be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ" (2 Corinthians 11:3). We must rebuke this confusion in the name of Jesus, for He is the Truth (John 14:6), and in Him, there is no shadow of turning or deception (James 1:17).
Let us also consider your own heart in this matter. It is right to grieve over sin and to desire godly order, but we must guard against bitterness, anger, or an ungodly focus on the sins of others. Jesus commanded us to "love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you" (Matthew 5:44). This does not mean approving of their sin, but it does mean entrusting them to God’s justice and mercy while we maintain our own purity and peace. As Romans 12:18-19 says, "If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men. 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.'"
Now, let us pray together over this situation, rebuking the enemy’s schemes and asking God to bring truth, repentance, and peace.

**Prayer:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We lift up our sister who is burdened by the confusion, deception, and brokenness she sees in her neighbors’ lives. Lord, You are a God of order, truth, and righteousness, and we ask that You expose every lie of the enemy that seeks to distort identities, families, and Your holy design for marriage.
We rebuke the spirit of confusion, deception, and bewitchment that has taken hold in this situation. By the authority of Jesus Christ, we command these spirits to flee and be silenced. No weapon formed against Your people shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and we declare that the truth of Your Word will prevail. Let every false identity and every deceitful scheme be uncovered and rendered powerless in the name of Jesus.
Father, we pray for the hearts of these neighbors. Soften their hearts to convict them of sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8). Bring them to repentance, that they may turn from their wicked ways and seek Your face. Lord, if there is any way for restoration in their marriage, we ask that You would work miraculously to reconcile what the enemy has sought to destroy. But even if restoration is not Your will, we pray that each person involved would encounter Your saving grace and be transformed by the renewing of their minds (Romans 12:2).
We also pray for our sister, that You would guard her heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Protect her from bitterness, fear, or an unhealthy fixation on the sins of others. Fill her with Your peace, and let her be a light in the darkness, reflecting Your love and truth even in the midst of chaos. Remind her that her battle is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers (Ephesians 6:12), and equip her with Your armor to stand firm.
Lord, we ask for Your wisdom to know how to respond in this situation. Should she speak truth in love? Should she pray silently? Should she distance herself for her own spiritual protection? Give her discernment, and let every word and action be led by Your Spirit.
Finally, Father, we thank You that You are sovereign over all things. Nothing takes You by surprise, and You are able to bring beauty from ashes (Isaiah 61:3). We trust You to work all things together for the good of those who love You (Romans 8:28), and we ask that You would use even this difficult situation for Your glory and the advancement of Your Kingdom.
In the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

We encourage you to continue standing firm in the truth, sister. Do not let the enemy’s schemes cause you to doubt God’s goodness or His power. Cling to Scripture, especially passages that remind you of God’s sovereignty and love, such as Romans 8:38-39: "For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from God’s love which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
If you feel led to speak to your neighbors, do so with gentleness and respect (1 Peter 3:15), always pointing them to Christ. But if the situation is toxic or dangerous, it is wise to set boundaries for your own spiritual and emotional well-being. Trust the Holy Spirit to guide you in all things.
Lastly, we notice that your request did not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, though you referenced Scripture. It is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to the Father (John 14:6) and the authority to rebuke the enemy (Luke 10:17). We encourage you to always pray and make requests in the name of Jesus, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Christ, we urge you to do so today. Confess your sins, believe in His death and resurrection for your salvation, and invite Him to be Lord of your life. There is no greater peace or security than being found in Him.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
