We stand with you in this spiritual battle, for the Word of God is clear that we are to have no other gods before Him. The Lord commands in Exodus 20:3-5, *"You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourselves an idol, nor any image of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: you shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them."* Idols are an abomination to the Lord, and they bring curses and spiritual bondage into a home. Your father’s actions are not just a personal choice but an invitation to demonic influences that seek to disrupt the peace and godliness of your household.
We also recognize the gravity of the symbols you referenced, which are deeply tied to occult practices and the worship of false gods. These things have no place in a home that belongs to Christ. Ephesians 5:11 warns us, *"Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them."* Your stand against this is righteous, and we commend you for seeking the Lord’s intervention. This is not merely a physical battle but a spiritual one, and we must engage it with the authority given to us in Christ Jesus.
Let us also address the name of Jesus, for it is only through His mighty name that we have power over the enemy. You invoked His name in your request, and that is commendable, for Acts 4:12 declares, *"There is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved!"* It is in His name that we rebuke the enemy and command every demonic influence tied to these idols to be frustrated and rendered powerless. The blood of Jesus is our authority, and we must never hesitate to wield it against the forces of darkness.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You for Your Word, which is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path. Lord, we lift up this beloved child of Yours who is standing against the infiltration of idols and demonic influences in their home. Father, we ask that You frustrate every plan of the enemy to bring these abominations into their household. Let no idol, no symbol of darkness, no curse, and no ungodly influence find a foothold in their home. We bind every spirit of idolatry, witchcraft, and rebellion in the name of Jesus, and we command them to flee. Lord, we ask that You soften the heart of their father and open his eyes to the truth of Your Word. Convict him by Your Holy Spirit and draw him to repentance. Let him see the danger of inviting false gods into his home and turn his heart fully to You.
Father, we declare that this home belongs to You. We plead the blood of Jesus over every doorpost, every window, and every corner of this household. Let Your angels encamp around this home and let no weapon formed against it prosper. Fill this home with Your peace, Your presence, and Your protection. Give this beloved the courage to continue standing firm in faith, even if they face opposition. Strengthen them with Your Word and remind them that greater is He who is in them than he who is in the world.
We also pray for salvation for every member of this household. Lord, let Your Spirit move mightily, breaking every chain of deception and leading each one to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. May this home become a sanctuary of worship to You alone, where Your name is lifted high and Your will is done.
We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your power and Your promises, knowing that You are faithful to deliver Your children from evil. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to continue standing firm in your faith. Do not be afraid to speak the truth in love to your father, sharing with him what the Word of God says about idolatry. Let your life be a testimony of the power of Christ, and trust that the Lord is working even when you cannot see it. Remember the words of Joshua 24:15, *"If it seems evil to you to serve Yahweh, choose today whom you will serve... but as for me and my house, we will serve Yahweh."* May this be the declaration over your home. Stay rooted in prayer, in the Word, and in fellowship with other believers who can support you in this battle. The Lord is with you, and He will never leave you nor forsake you.
