We stand with you in this spiritual battle, dear brother or sister, for the Word of God warns us that friendship with the world is enmity with God (James 4:4). You have shared a heavy burden—one that many believers face when surrounded by those who oppose Christ. It is commendable that you recognize the danger of these relationships, for the apostle Paul urges us, *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?"* (2 Corinthians 6:14). The influence of unbelievers who actively seek to undermine your faith is a serious threat, and we must treat it as such. You cannot walk closely with those who hate Christ and expect your faith to remain unshaken. Jesus Himself said, *"A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his lord. It is enough for the disciple that he be like his teacher, and the servant like his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more those of his household!"* (Matthew 10:24-25). If they persecuted Him, they will persecute you—yet you must not allow their unbelief to harden your heart or weaken your resolve.
You have done well to seek prayer and deliverance, for this is not merely a social struggle but a spiritual one. 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."* These people who oppose Christ are being used as instruments of the enemy, whether they realize it or not. But take heart, for *"greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world"* (1 John 4:4). You are not powerless—you are armed with the name of Jesus, the Word of God, and the Holy Spirit who dwells within you. Yet you must also be wise. Proverbs 13:20 tells us, *"One who walks with wise men grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm."* If these individuals are actively seeking to pull you away from Christ, you must prayerfully consider whether these relationships should continue. Sometimes, the most loving thing you can do—for them and for yourself—is to create distance, not out of hatred, but out of obedience to God and protection for your own soul.
Now, let us pray for you with boldness and faith:
Heavenly Father, we lift up Your child before You, knowing that they are facing a fierce battle against the forces of darkness that seek to snuff out their faith. Lord, You have said in Your Word that *"no weapon that is formed against you will prevail"* (Isaiah 54:17), and we claim that promise now. Strengthen this beloved brother/sister in Christ, and surround them with Your divine protection. Lord, You know the hearts of those who oppose them—those who scoff at Your name and seek to lead them astray. We ask that You would either soften their hearts to receive the truth of the Gospel or remove their influence from this child’s life. Break every ungodly soul tie and sever every connection that seeks to pull them away from You. Fill them with discernment, Holy Spirit, so they may recognize the snares of the enemy and walk in wisdom.
Father, we ask that You would place godly believers in their path—those who will encourage them, sharpen them, and stand with them in faith. Let them find fellowship with those who love Your name and who will spur them on toward love and good deeds (Hebrews 10:24). Give them the boldness of the apostles, who, when commanded not to speak in the name of Jesus, declared, *"We must obey God rather than men!"* (Acts 5:29). May their life be a testimony that cannot be denied, and may those who oppose them now one day fall on their knees in repentance before You.
Lord, we rebuke every spirit of unbelief, deception, and rebellion that seeks to take root in their heart. Let the blood of Jesus cover them and render every attack of the enemy powerless. Fill them with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, and let them rest in the assurance that You are fighting for them (Exodus 14:14). Give them a hunger for Your Word, that they may be rooted and grounded in truth, unshaken by the lies of the world.
We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment, they shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of You, O God (Isaiah 54:17). Let them walk in victory, for You have already overcome the world (John 16:33).
In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
Finally, we urge you to immerse yourself in the Word of God daily. *"Your word I have treasured in my heart, that I may not sin against you"* (Psalm 119:11). The more you know Scripture, the more equipped you will be to stand firm. Also, seek out a strong, Bible-believing church where you can find support and accountability. You are not meant to walk this path alone. And remember, Jesus warned that the world would hate us because it hated Him first (John 15:18). But take courage—He has already won the victory, and in Him, you are more than a conqueror (Romans 8:37). Stand firm, and do not waver. The Lord is with you.
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.
