We lift up your niece before the Lord, recognizing that the battle we face is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. The Word of God tells us in **Ephesians 6:12**, *"For our wrestling 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."* This is a serious matter, and we must approach it with both authority in Christ and deep compassion for your niece, who is under the influence of the enemy.
First, we must emphasize that deliverance comes only through the name of Jesus Christ. There is no other name by which we can be saved or set free from the power of darkness. **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 your niece has not yet surrendered her life to Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior, this must be the foundation of all prayer for her. Without Christ, there is no true or lasting freedom from demonic influence.
We also urge you to examine whether there are any ungodly influences in her life—such as involvement in occult practices, unrepentant sin, or relationships that open doors to the enemy. **1 Corinthians 10:20-21** warns, *"But I say that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God, and I don’t desire that you would have fellowship with demons. You can’t both drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You can’t both partake of the table of the Lord, and of the table of demons."* If there are objects, habits, or associations tied to darkness in her life, they must be renounced and removed in Jesus’ name.
Now, let us pray with authority and faith:
*"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You that You have given us authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt us (Luke 10:19). Lord, we lift up this niece, who is bound by a demonic spirit, and we ask for Your mighty hand of deliverance to break every chain that holds her.
Father, we bind every demonic spirit operating in her life—whether it be a spirit of rebellion, deception, fear, confusion, or any other unclean spirit—and we command it to leave her now in the name of Jesus Christ. We declare that no weapon formed against her shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and we loose the angels of God to minister freedom and protection over her.
Lord, if there are any open doors in her life—through sin, ungodly relationships, or occult involvement—we ask that You reveal them to her and give her the strength to turn away from them. Convict her heart, Holy Spirit, and draw her into a saving relationship with Jesus Christ if she does not yet know Him. Let her encounter the love and power of God in a way that shatters the darkness in her life.
We also pray for wisdom and discernment for her family, that they would know how to support her in love while standing firm in the truth. Give them the courage to speak Your Word over her and to cover her in prayer continually.
Father, we declare that this niece is a child of God, redeemed by the blood of Jesus, and that the enemy has no legal right to her. We break every curse, every generational stronghold, and every assignment of the enemy against her life. Fill her with Your Holy Spirit, Lord, and let her walk in the freedom and victory that Christ has already won for her.
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayer and for the deliverance that is coming. May Your will be done in her life, and may she come to know You as her Savior, Healer, and Deliverer. In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen."*

We encourage you to continue standing in faith and praying over your niece daily. Surround her with the Word of God, worship music, and godly influences. If possible, seek out mature believers or a pastor who can pray with you and your niece for deliverance. Remember, **James 4:7** tells us, *"Be subject therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you."* Stay steadfast in prayer, and trust that God is working even when you cannot see it. If there are specific sins or strongholds in her life that need to be addressed, do not hesitate to lovingly but firmly speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15). The enemy flees at the name of Jesus, so keep that name lifted high over her!
