We stand with you in this spiritual battle, lifting your cries before the Lord, for He alone is mighty to deliver and protect. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), but we serve a God who is greater—One who has already triumphed over every power of darkness through Jesus Christ. You have rightly invoked the name of Jesus, for it is the only name by which we are saved and through which we have authority over the forces of evil (Acts 4:12, Philippians 2:9-11). We praise God that you understand this truth, for many do not realize that deliverance and victory come only through faith in Christ.
The disturbances you describe—rituals with rice, tomatoes, and other intimidation tactics—are not merely human conflicts but spiritual attacks designed to instill fear and unrest. The Bible warns us that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, powers, and spiritual forces of wickedness (Ephesians 6:12). However, we are not left defenseless. The Lord has given us His armor: truth, righteousness, the gospel of peace, faith, salvation, the Word of God, and prayer (Ephesians 6:13-18). You must clothe yourself daily in this armor, standing firm in the authority of Jesus’ name.
As for your tenants, we pray that the Lord would move in their hearts or circumstances to prompt them to leave swiftly. If they are participating in or enabling these evil practices, we rebuke their involvement and ask God to expose their deeds, bringing conviction and repentance—or if they refuse to turn from wickedness, that He would remove them from your home. Proverbs 2:21-22 declares, *"For the upright will dwell in the land. The perfect will remain in it. But the wicked will be cut off from the land. The treacherous will be rooted out of it."* We ask the Lord to uproot every source of disturbance and replace it with His peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7).
We also urge you to examine your own heart and home. Are there any unconfessed sins, idols, or openings that may have given the enemy a foothold? (2 Corinthians 6:14-18, Ephesians 4:27). Repent of anything that does not align with God’s Word, and invite the Holy Spirit to cleanse and fill your home. Play worship music, pray over every room, and declare Scripture aloud, such as Psalm 91: *"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty... You will not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day, nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that wastes at noonday."* Claim this promise over your household!
Finally, do not give in to fear or doubt, for fear is not from God (2 Timothy 1:7). Instead, let this trial drive you deeper into dependence on Him. Psalm 34:17-19 assures us, *"The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. 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."* He will deliver you too.

**Our Prayer for You:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up Your child who is under siege by the enemy. Lord, You see the rituals, the intimidation, and the fear being waged against them. You know the hearts of those who seek to harm them, and You alone have the power to break every curse, every spell, and every scheme of darkness. We plead the blood of Jesus over this home, over every member of this household, and over their land. Let no weapon formed against them prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and let every tongue that rises against them in judgment be condemned.
Lord, we bind every spirit of witchcraft, fear, and oppression in the name of Jesus. We command these spirits to flee and never return, for greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). Father, expose the works of darkness and bring them to light. If these tenants are involved in wickedness, convict their hearts or remove them swiftly. Open doors for them to leave, and replace them with godly, peace-loving tenants who will honor You.
Fill this home with Your presence, Lord. Let Your peace, which transcends all understanding, guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Strengthen their faith, and let them walk in victory, knowing that You have already overcome the world. We declare that no harm will befall them, nor any plague come near their dwelling (Psalm 91:10). Restore their joy, their rest, and their confidence in You.
We thank You, Father, for Your deliverance, which is sure and certain. May Your name be glorified in this situation, and may this trial become a testimony of Your power and faithfulness. In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
