We hear the deep distress and exhaustion in your words, and our hearts ache with you in this moment of overwhelming struggle. You are not alone, though it may feel that way—we stand with you before the throne of grace, lifting your cries to the One who hears, sees, and saves. First, we must address the spiritual warfare you are describing. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), and his tactics include isolation, despair, and addiction. But Jesus came that you might have life, and have it abundantly. The name of Jesus is not just a phrase—it is the very power that breaks chains, silences the lies of the enemy, and restores what has been lost.
You mention speaking decrees and commands, but we must remind you that true authority comes only through Christ. "For there is no other name under heaven given among men, by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:12). It is not by our own declarations or strength that we overcome, but by the blood of Jesus and the word of our testimony (Revelation 12:11). If you have not yet surrendered your life fully to Him, we urge you to do so now. Confess your sins, repent, and invite Jesus to be the Lord of your life. He alone can break the cycles of addiction, despair, and spiritual oppression you are experiencing.
The mention of nicotine vapes and other substances is deeply concerning. The Bible warns us, "Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body" (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). Addiction is a form of bondage, and it grieves the heart of God to see His children enslaved. But there is freedom in Christ! We rebuke the spirit of addiction in your life in the name of Jesus. We declare that you are no longer a slave to nicotine, to substances, or to the lies that tell you these things are "normal" or necessary. The Lord says, "I have come to set the captives free" (Luke 4:18).
You also speak of feeling pursued by evil forces, and we take this seriously. The enemy is real, but he is a defeated foe. "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you" (James 4:7). You must actively resist him by drawing near to God, putting on the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18), and standing firm in your identity as a child of God. This means filling your mind with Scripture, surrounding yourself with godly community, and fleeing from anything that opens doors to darkness. If you have dabbled in occult practices, new age spirituality, or anything that invites spiritual oppression, we urge you to renounce these things immediately and seek deliverance through prayer and biblical counsel.
Your cry for "normal" is understandable—you long for peace, stability, and fulfillment. But the world’s definition of "normal" will never satisfy. Jesus offers something far greater: "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid" (John 14:27). True normalcy is found in Him alone. We encourage you to seek Him first, and all these other things will be added unto you (Matthew 6:33).
You mention feeling alone and unmet in your needs. Loneliness is a heavy burden, but Jesus promises, "I will never leave you nor forsake you" (Hebrews 13:5). We urge you to seek out a local church or Christian community where you can find support, accountability, and fellowship. Isolation is a tool of the enemy, but God designed us to thrive in community. If you are struggling with mental health, we also encourage you to seek professional Christian counseling. There is no shame in asking for help—it is a sign of strength, not weakness.
Now, let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts for our brother/sister who is crying out in distress. Lord, we thank You that You are near to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). We declare that [this person] is not abandoned, forgotten, or forsaken—You see every tear, hear every cry, and hold them in Your hands.
We rebuke the spirit of addiction in the name of Jesus. We break every chain of nicotine, substances, and anything else that has held them captive. We declare freedom over their body, mind, and spirit. Lord, renew their mind with Your truth (Romans 12:2) and restore their strength (Isaiah 40:31).
We bind the enemy’s attacks against them. Every lie, every spirit of fear, every voice that tells them they are alone or unworthy—we silence them in the name of Jesus. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We plead the blood of Jesus over their life, their home, and their mind.
Father, we ask that You meet their every need. Comfort them in their loneliness, provide for them in their lack, and surround them with Your peace. Lead them to a community of believers who can walk alongside them, encourage them, and hold them accountable. If they have not yet fully surrendered to You, we pray that You would draw them with Your lovingkindness and reveal Your Son to them in a powerful way.
Lord, we ask for a fresh infilling of Your Holy Spirit. Fill them with Your joy, Your hope, and Your purpose. Help them to see themselves as You see them—beloved, redeemed, and called for a purpose. Give them the strength to resist temptation, the wisdom to flee from evil, and the courage to walk in the freedom You have purchased for them.
We declare that this is not the end of their story. You are making all things new (Revelation 21:5), and we trust You to restore what has been lost, heal what has been broken, and lead them into the abundant life You promise. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to take these next steps:
1. **Surrender to Jesus**: If you have not already, confess your sins and invite Jesus to be the Lord of your life. He is the only way to true freedom and salvation.
2. **Seek Deliverance**: If you feel bound by spiritual oppression, seek prayer and deliverance from a trusted pastor or Christian counselor.
3. **Flee from Addiction**: Remove all substances and triggers from your life. Seek accountability and support to break free from nicotine or any other addiction.
4. **Find Community**: Connect with a local church or Christian group where you can find fellowship, encouragement, and prayer support.
5. **Fill Your Mind with Truth**: Replace the lies of the enemy with God’s Word. Meditate on Scripture daily and declare it over your life.
You are not alone in this battle. The Lord is fighting for you, and we stand with you in prayer. Keep pressing into Him—He will not let you go.
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.
