We hear the deep pain, betrayal, and anguish in your words, and our hearts break with yours. The wounds you describe—being deceived, abandoned, and violated—are not just emotional but spiritual attacks, and we stand with you in the authority of Jesus Christ to break every chain of darkness over your life. You are not alone, and the Lord sees every tear, every injustice, and every moment of torment you’ve endured. We rebuke the enemy’s lies that have kept you in bondage to fear, nightmares, and bitterness, and we declare that the blood of Jesus has the final say over your life.
First, we must address the spiritual warfare you’re facing. The Bible warns 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."* The torment you’re experiencing—nightmares, betrayal, and the sense of being "ripped out of socket"—sounds like the work of demonic forces seeking to destroy your peace, identity, and faith. But we serve a God who is greater. 1 John 4:4 declares, *"You are of God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world."* We take authority over every spirit of deception, trauma, and rejection in Jesus’ name and command them to flee from you now.
We also want to gently but firmly address the language and posture of your heart in this moment. The pain is real, and we do not dismiss it, but Scripture calls us to guard our hearts against bitterness, which can become a foothold for the enemy. Hebrews 12:15 warns, *"Looking carefully lest there be any man who falls short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and many be defiled by it."* While your anger toward those who betrayed you is understandable, we encourage you to release the desire for vengeance to God. Romans 12:19 says, *"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.’"* Trust that God sees the truth and will bring justice in His perfect timing.
Most importantly, we must address the foundation of your faith. You mention the "blood of Jesus" at the end of your request, and we praise God for that acknowledgment, for there is no victory, healing, or freedom apart from Him. Jesus Christ is the only way to the Father (John 14:6), and it is only through His name that we have access to God’s throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16). If you have not already, we urge you to surrender your life fully to Jesus—to confess Him as Lord, repent of any sin, and invite Him to be the center of your healing. Salvation is not just about escaping hell; it is about being set free from the power of sin, death, and the enemy’s schemes *now*. Acts 4:12 says, *"There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* If you have not made this decision, we invite you to pray with us now.
Let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the Name that is above every name. We lift up our brother/sister to You, who is deeply wounded and tormented by the betrayal, deception, and spiritual attacks they’ve endured. Lord, You see every tear, every sleepless night, and every moment of pain. We ask that You would pour out Your healing balm over their heart, mind, and soul. Break every chain of trauma, fear, and bitterness, and replace them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7).
We rebuke every spirit of deception, torment, and rejection that has been assigned to their life. We declare that they are a child of God, bought with the precious blood of Jesus, and no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We command every nightmare, every lying voice, and every demonic influence to flee in Jesus’ name. We plead the blood of Jesus over their mind, their emotions, and their spirit, and we ask that You would fill them with Your Holy Spirit, who is their Comforter, Guide, and Defender (John 14:26).
Lord, we ask that You would expose every lie they’ve believed about themselves, about You, and about those who have hurt them. Replace those lies with Your truth. Remind them that they are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), that You have plans to prosper them and not to harm them (Jeremiah 29:11), and that You will never leave them nor forsake them (Hebrews 13:5). Heal their heart from the betrayal and restore their hope in Your goodness.
We also pray for those who have sinned against them. We ask that You would bring conviction where there is guilt, repentance where there is sin, and restoration where it is Your will. If there are those who have acted wickedly, we trust You to bring justice, but we also ask that You would soften their hearts to turn to You.
Father, we ask that You would draw our brother/sister closer to You. If they have not fully surrendered their life to Jesus, we pray that they would do so now. May they experience the fullness of Your love, the power of Your resurrection, and the freedom that comes from being washed in the blood of the Lamb. Surround them with godly community—believers who will stand with them, pray for them, and encourage them in their walk with You.
We declare that this season of torment is over. The enemy has no right to their life, their peace, or their future. We speak life, joy, and restoration over them. May they rise from this place of pain stronger in faith, deeper in love with You, and more determined to walk in the freedom Christ died to give them.
In the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
Now, dear one, we want to encourage you with a few practical steps as you walk forward in healing:
1. **Guard Your Heart and Mind**: The enemy will try to replay the trauma, but you do not have to entertain those thoughts. When they come, replace them with Scripture. Memorize verses like Psalm 34:18-19: *"Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but Yahweh delivers him out of them all."* Speak these truths over yourself daily.
2. **Seek Godly Counsel**: You do not have to walk this journey alone. Find a pastor, biblical counselor, or trusted believer who can pray with you, help you process your pain, and point you to Jesus. Proverbs 11:14 says, *"Where there is no counsel, the people fall, but in the multitude of counselors there is safety."*
3. **Forgiveness**: This is a hard but necessary step. Forgiveness does not mean what happened was okay; it means you are releasing the offender to God and refusing to let bitterness take root in your heart. Forgiveness is for *your* freedom. Colossians 3:13 says, *"Bear with one another, and forgive each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do."*
4. **Renew Your Mind**: Spend time in God’s Word daily. Meditate on passages that speak of God’s love, justice, and healing, such as Psalm 23, Psalm 91, and Isaiah 61. Let His truth rewrite the lies the enemy has spoken over you.
5. **Worship and Prayer**: Worship is a powerful weapon against the enemy. When you feel overwhelmed, play worship music, sing praises to God, or simply sit in His presence. Psalm 22:3 says that God inhabits the praises of His people. The enemy cannot stay where God’s presence is invited.
6. **Break Soul Ties**: If there were ungodly relationships or soul ties formed with those who betrayed you, we encourage you to pray a prayer of breaking those ties in Jesus’ name. Soul ties can be formed through sexual sin, emotional manipulation, or even words spoken over you. Pray something like this: *"In the name of Jesus, I break every ungodly soul tie between myself and [###]. I renounce any agreement I made with the enemy through this relationship, and I declare that I am free in Christ. I belong to Him alone, and no other person has authority over my life."*
7. **Walk in Your Identity in Christ**: You are not defined by the betrayal, the trauma, or the lies of the enemy. You are a child of God, redeemed by the blood of Jesus, and called for a purpose. Ephesians 2:10 says, *"For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them."* Ask God to show you the good works He has prepared for you, and step into them with confidence.
Lastly, we want to leave you with this promise from God’s Word: *"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit"* (Psalm 34:18). You are not forgotten. You are not abandoned. You are deeply loved by the Creator of the universe, and He is fighting for you. Keep your eyes on Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:2), and trust that He will lead you into a future filled with hope.
We stand with you, and we will continue to pray for your complete healing and restoration. You are not alone.
