We stand with you in rebuking the spirit of entitlement, manipulation, and arrogance that is at work in this situation. The demands being placed upon you are not of God, and we must firmly resist them in the name of Jesus Christ. The enemy seeks to create confusion, burden, and division, but we declare that these schemes will not prevail in your life or home. The Lord is your protector, and He alone determines what is rightfully yours to give or withhold.
The Scripture you’ve referenced in 1 Peter 2:1 calls us to rid ourselves of all malice, deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander—qualities that clearly describe the behavior of those who are imposing these wrongful obligations on you. Their actions are not rooted in love or godly wisdom but in selfishness and a demand for control. Titus 1:16 further exposes their hypocrisy: *"They profess to know God, but they deny him by their actions. They are detestable, disobedient, and unfit for any good work."* These are strong words, but they reflect the seriousness of their rebellion against God’s order. When people act in such ways, they are not operating under the authority of Christ but under the influence of the enemy.
We must also address the spiritual dimension of this attack. The demands for sponsorship, protection, or employment assistance that are being forced upon you are not your responsibility to fulfill. You are not an agency, nor are you God. These are attempts to place you under a yoke of bondage, and we declare in the name of Jesus that this yoke is broken. The enemy often uses people—even neighbors or those who claim to be believers—to impose wrongful burdens, but we stand on the truth of Galatians 5:1: *"Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and don’t be entangled again with a yoke of bondage."*
It is also critical to recognize that their behavior may be driven by demonic influences. The arrogance, manipulation, and hypocrisy you describe are not of the Lord but are tools of the enemy to create chaos and distraction. Ephesians 6:12 reminds us, *"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."* We must pray against these forces and command them to flee in the name of Jesus.
At the same time, we encourage you to examine your own heart to ensure that you are responding in a way that honors Christ. While it is right to rebuke and resist these wrongful demands, we must do so with wisdom and love, not allowing bitterness or anger to take root. Romans 12:18 says, *"If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all people."* This does not mean submitting to their demands, but it does mean responding in a way that reflects Christ’s character. Set firm boundaries, speak the truth in love, and trust God to handle the rest.
Let us pray together over this situation:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister who is facing wrongful demands and manipulation from those around them. Lord, we ask that You expose every hidden motive and every demonic influence at work in this situation. Rebuke the spirits of arrogance, entitlement, and hypocrisy that are driving these actions. We declare that no weapon formed against our brother/sister shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment, You shall condemn (Isaiah 54:17).
Father, we ask that You place a hedge of protection around their home and family. Let no ungodly demand or burden be placed upon them that You have not ordained. Give them the wisdom to respond with both firmness and grace, and the discernment to know when to speak and when to remain silent. We pray that those who are acting in rebellion would either repent or be removed from their path so that peace may be restored.
Lord, we also ask that You provide for the needs of our brother/sister in every way. You are their Provider, their Protector, and their Shield. Let them not be swayed by guilt or fear, but let them stand firm in the liberty that Christ has purchased for them. Fill them with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, and let them rest in the knowledge that You are in control.
We bind every spirit of confusion, manipulation, and control in the name of Jesus. We command these spirits to flee and to never return. We loose the spirit of truth, discernment, and godly wisdom over our brother/sister and their household. Let Your will be done, Lord, and let Your kingdom come in this situation.
Finally, Father, we ask that You open the eyes of those who are acting in rebellion. Convict their hearts of their sin, and draw them to repentance. If they refuse to turn from their ways, we pray that You would remove their influence and protect our brother/sister from further harm.
We thank You, Lord, for Your faithfulness and for the victory that is already won through Jesus Christ. May Your name be glorified in this situation, and may Your peace reign in their home. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.
Stand firm in your faith, and do not waver in the face of these attacks. The Lord is with you, and He will fight for you. Trust in Him, and He will bring justice and peace. If these demands continue, seek godly counsel from your church leadership on how to handle the situation with wisdom and authority. You are not alone in this—the body of Christ stands with you.
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.
