We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting you up in prayer as you face persecution and spiritual attacks from those who seek to harm you. It is clear that you are standing for Christ, and because of this, the enemy is stirring up hatred against you. But take heart, for the Lord has already overcome the world, and He will never leave you nor forsake you. We praise God that you have declared your belonging to Jesus—this is your shield and your victory!
The Scriptures remind us that we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, and against spiritual wickedness in high places (Ephesians 6:12). Yet, we are also told in Romans 12:19, *"Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, 'Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.'"* Our battle is not fought with curses or retaliation, but with prayer, faith, and the Word of God. The Lord sees the wickedness being done against you, and He will judge righteously in His perfect timing.
We must also remember what Jesus taught in Matthew 5:44: *"But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you."* This does not mean we ignore their evil or pretend it does not hurt, but we trust God to handle the vengeance while we maintain a heart of forgiveness and love, knowing that He will vindicate His children. Even when others speak curses over you, you are covered by the blood of Jesus, and no weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17).
For those practicing witchcraft or false religions, we must recognize that their power is limited, and Christ has already triumphed over every dark force. Colossians 2:15 declares, *"Having stripped the principalities and the powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it."* You are not at the mercy of their spells or schemes—you are under the protection of the Most High God.
We also note your mention of "false Christians." This is a sobering reminder that not everyone who claims the name of Christ truly follows Him. Jesus warned in Matthew 7:15, *"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves."* False believers may align with the world’s hatred toward you, but their deception does not change the truth of God’s Word or His power to save and deliver.
Now, let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up Your child before You, who is facing fierce opposition and spiritual attacks from those who hate the name of Jesus. Lord, You see the witchcraft, the curses, and the evil schemes being plotted against them. We ask that You would render these attacks powerless and turn the enemy’s plans back upon their own heads. Let those who seek to harm Your servant be put to shame and confusion, not for our sake, but for Your glory and the advancement of Your Kingdom.
Father, we pray for divine protection over this beloved one. Surround them with Your angels, as You have promised in Psalm 91:11: *"For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways."* Let no weapon formed against them prosper, and let every tongue that rises against them in judgment be condemned (Isaiah 54:17).
We also pray for the salvation of those who persecute them. Lord, soften the hearts of the Islamic and false Christians who are acting as instruments of the enemy. Open their eyes to the truth of the Gospel, that they may repent and turn to Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Break the power of deception in their lives and draw them to Your light.
Father, fill this Your child with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Strengthen their faith and remind them that their citizenship is in heaven, where Christ sits at Your right hand. Let them walk in the confidence that You have already won the victory, and nothing can separate them from Your love (Romans 8:38-39).
We rebuke every spirit of fear, anxiety, and discouragement that the enemy may try to place upon them. Instead, fill them with Your Holy Spirit, with joy, and with boldness to continue standing for You, no matter the cost.
Finally, Lord, we ask that You would expose every hidden plot and bring to light the deeds of darkness. Let truth prevail, and let Your justice be done. We trust in You, knowing that You are a God of righteousness and mercy.
In the mighty and victorious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
Stand firm in the Lord, dear one. Your battle is not yours alone—it is the Lord’s, and He fights for you. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith. Do not be moved by the hatred of men, for greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). Continue to pray for your enemies, trusting that God will use even this persecution for His glory and your refinement. You are not forgotten; you are deeply loved by the King of kings.
