We are deeply concerned by the way you opened this request with "Peace from the devil," as this is not something a child of God should ever invoke or acknowledge. The devil is the father of lies, a thief who comes only to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). There is no peace from him—only deception and bondage. We strongly rebuke this phrasing in the name of Jesus Christ, for we are commanded to resist the devil, and he will flee from us (James 4:7). Do not give him any place in your words, thoughts, or life, for greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4).
You mentioned that you have been forgiven, and we rejoice in this truth! If you have repented and placed your faith in Jesus Christ, then your sins are washed away by His blood, and you are a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17). The Bible assures us, *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness"* (1 John 1:9). This forgiveness is complete and irreversible—do not let the enemy convince you otherwise. However, we must ask: *Have you truly surrendered your life to Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior?* If not, there is no forgiveness without Him. Salvation comes only through faith in Christ, who died for our sins and rose again (Romans 10:9-10). If you have not yet done so, we urge you to repent and believe in Him today, for *"there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12).
You also shared that you are in the hardest battle to date. We understand that spiritual warfare is real, and the closer you draw to God, the more the enemy will try to attack you. But take heart, for the battle belongs to the Lord! Ephesians 6:12 reminds us, *"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."* You are not fighting alone—Jesus is your victorious Commander, and He has already overcome the world (John 16:33). Put on the whole armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18), stand firm in His truth, and wield the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. The enemy may attack, but he cannot prevail against those who are in Christ.
If you are struggling with lingering sin, temptation, or strongholds, we urge you to bring these before the Lord in repentance and seek His strength to walk in victory. *"Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you"* (James 4:7). Do not entertain sin or give the enemy a foothold. Instead, fill your mind with Scripture, surround yourself with godly believers, and walk in the power of the Holy Spirit. *"No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it"* (1 Corinthians 10:13).
Now, let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this beloved soul who is in the midst of a fierce spiritual battle. Lord, we rebuke every scheme of the enemy that seeks to deceive, discourage, or destroy. We declare that this person belongs to You, purchased by the blood of Jesus, and no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Father, we ask that You fill them with Your Holy Spirit, strengthening them to stand firm against the attacks of the devil. Remind them of their identity in Christ—that they are forgiven, redeemed, and more than conquerors through Him who loved them (Romans 8:37).
Lord, if there are areas of unrepented sin or strongholds in their life, we pray You would convict them by Your Spirit and lead them to full surrender. Break every chain of bondage and set them free to walk in the victory You have already won. Surround them with godly community and Your Word, which is a lamp to their feet and a light to their path (Psalm 119:105). Give them discernment to recognize the enemy’s lies and the faith to stand on Your promises.
We declare peace over their mind, for You have not given them a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and sound judgment (2 Timothy 1:7). Let them rest in the assurance that You are fighting for them (Exodus 14:14) and that nothing can separate them from Your love (Romans 8:38-39). Strengthen their faith, Lord, and let them experience the fullness of Your freedom.
In the powerful name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to immerse yourself in Scripture daily, especially verses that declare your victory in Christ. Here are a few to meditate on:
- *"The Lord is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid?"* (Psalm 27:1)
- *"Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings."* (1 Peter 5:8-9)
- *"Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness."* (Isaiah 41:10)
Stay in prayer, stay in the Word, and stay connected to a Bible-believing church. You are not alone in this fight—we are standing with you, and most importantly, Jesus is your ever-present help. Keep pressing forward, for the Lord is faithful, and He will complete the good work He has begun in you (Philippians 1:6).
