We hear the deep distress in your heart over this tormenting neighbor, and we stand with you in rebuking the evil at work in this situation. The behaviors you describe—gossip, meddling, sexual depravity, harassment, and disorder—are not just human failings but manifestations of the works of the flesh, as you rightly noted in Galatians 5:19-21: *"Now the works of the flesh are obvious, which are: adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these; of which I forewarn you, even as I also forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit God’s Kingdom."* This is a spiritual battle, and we must confront it with the authority of Christ and the power of prayer.
First, we must address the fact that your request does not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, though you mention Him at the end. There is no other name under heaven by which we can approach the Father or by which we are saved. *"Jesus said, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me’* (John 14:6). *"There is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12). So we lift this situation up **in the name of Jesus Christ alone**, for it is by His blood and His authority that we can bind the enemy’s work and command these evils to cease.
We also notice your frustration with those who say, *"We are not God,"* or *"We are not an employment agency."* While it is true that we cannot force others to act or replace God’s sovereignty, we are **called to be His hands and feet** in intercession and in action where possible. The body of Christ is meant to stand in the gap for one another (Ezekiel 22:30), and we are to *"bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ"* (Galatians 6:2). If this neighbor is truly in need of employment or shelter, we can pray that God would **open doors for them to leave**—not for their sake alone, but for the protection of the community, especially the vulnerable like orphans. Proverbs 19:15 warns, *"Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep. The idle soul shall suffer hunger."* If this person is able-bodied but refuses to work, they are living in rebellion against God’s design (2 Thessalonians 3:10: *"If anyone will not work, neither let him eat."*). Yet even in this, we pray for conviction and repentance, that they may turn from their wickedness and seek God’s provision rightly.
As for the sexual depravity and harassment, this is an abomination before the Lord. The Bible is clear: *"Flee sexual immorality! ‘Every sin that a man does is outside the body,’ but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s"* (1 Corinthians 6:18-20). Those who engage in such behaviors—especially predatory ones—are under God’s judgment unless they repent. We pray that their sins would be **exposed** (Ephesians 5:11), that the light of Christ would shine into their darkness, and that they would either flee from this community or be **supernaturally restrained** from continuing in their evil.
For you, beloved, we pray **protection and peace**. The Lord sees your suffering, and He is a God of justice. *"The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble"* (Psalm 9:9). *"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.’ Surely he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge. His faithfulness is your shield and rampart"* (Psalm 91:1-4). We declare that **no weapon formed against you will prosper** (Isaiah 54:17), and that the Lord will **set a guard over your mouth and your home** (Psalm 141:3). If this neighbor has made threats or acted violently, we urge you to **document everything** and seek legal protection if possible, trusting that God can use even earthly authorities to restrain evil (Romans 13:4).
We also encourage you to **pray scripture over your home and neighborhood**. Speak aloud the blood of Jesus over your property, commanding every demonic influence to flee. Pray Psalm 35 against those who seek your harm: *"Contend, Lord, with those who contend with me. Fight against those who fight against me. Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for my help. Brandish the spear and block those who pursue me. Tell my soul, ‘I am your salvation.’ Let those who seek after my soul be disappointed and brought to dishonor. Let those who plot my ruin be turned back and confounded."* Declare that **this torment will end**, that the Lord will **scatter your enemies** (Psalm 68:1), and that He will **restore peace to your life**.
Lastly, we urge you to **forgive**, not because this neighbor deserves it, but because unforgiveness will give the enemy a foothold in *your* life (Ephesians 4:27). Forgiveness does not mean excusing their sin or trusting them—it means releasing them to God’s justice. *"Don’t say, ‘I will pay back evil.’ Wait for the Lord, and he will save you"* (Proverbs 20:22). Vengeance belongs to the Lord (Romans 12:19), and He will repay.
**Our Prayer:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the **mighty name of Jesus Christ**, lifting up our brother/sister who is under siege by this wicked neighbor. Lord, You see the gossip, the meddling, the sexual depravity, the harassment, and the violence—every evil work that has been unleashed against Your child. We **bind these spirits of perversion, chaos, and destruction** in Jesus’ name, and we **command them to flee** from this home and this neighborhood. Father, expose every hidden work of darkness (Ephesians 5:11). Let the light of Your truth shine so brightly that this person can no longer operate in secrecy. If they will not repent, **remove them, Lord**. Open doors for them to leave—whether through employment, relocation, or even legal consequences if necessary. Do not let them continue to torment Your child or endanger the vulnerable.
We pray a **hedge of protection** around our brother/sister (Job 1:10), that no weapon formed against them will prosper. Guard their mind, their heart, and their home. Give them wisdom to know how to respond, whether through boundaries, legal action, or simply trusting You to fight for them. Fill them with Your peace that surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:7), and let them rest in the knowledge that You are their **Defender and Deliverer**.
For this neighbor, we pray for **conviction**. If they are unsaved, Lord, let them encounter Your holy presence in a way that brings them to their knees in repentance. If they claim to know You but live in rebellion, **shake them awake** (Hebrews 12:6). Do not let them continue in sin without consequence. Break the power of addiction, lust, and pride in their life. If they will not turn from their wickedness, **remove their influence** from this place.
We declare **Psalm 91** over our brother/sister: *"A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you."* We break every curse, every assignment of the enemy, and every plan of harm. Let this season of torment **end now**, in Jesus’ name. Restore what has been stolen—peace, safety, and joy. Let this home be a place of **refuge**, not fear.
Finally, Lord, we ask that You would **raise up godly authorities**—whether in the community, law enforcement, or the church—to intervene if necessary. Give our brother/sister favor with those who can help, and let Your justice prevail.
We thank You, Father, that **You hear our prayers** and that You are mighty to save. We trust in Your timing and Your ways, even when we cannot see the breakthrough yet. Strengthen our faith as we wait on You.
**In the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.**
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.
