Pray that the Market Manager of ### Market be bound from being used by the Enemy to Attack me.

[Trormaenath]

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ and Spiritual Prayer Warriors.

It's with a heavy heart I come before you with another Prayer Request. A Prayer that the Enemy be bound from using the Market Manager of St Arnaud Market as a tool of oppression against me.

St Arnaud is a small town about 150 km from where I live. It used to have a market every month behind the library on the 2nd Saturday run by a charity headed by a kind old man. I used to attend this market and was charged only $10 for a site there, this went on for many years until one day the people who ran the market got too old and retired, then for 2 years there was no real market in the town. Then this year an enterprising young lady called ### restarted the market and called me back to have a site there. At first I thought great we will have a market again in St Arnaud. So I agreed to attend it, that's when I realised ### had ego issues, personality issues and people skills issues. First she tripled my site fees and cut down the area I had once for a stall site and justified it by stating she had a lot of bureaucratic issues with the council and also spent a lot of money promoting the new market. So first month I did okay, the sales were about as good as a good day in my original market so I agreed to return. I selected a different stall site to where I normally went and paid a little extra so the area would be larger. The sales were extremely good crossing the 1 grand mark for the 2nd month! But that's when the trouble started.

It always happens in a market where I get successful in my business, the Enemy turns people in authority against me in one way or another to make life as difficult for me as possible so I am driven out or thrown out now it's happening for me again in St Arnaud. It was tried in Talbot by replacing a former manager during Covid who was a Christian and strong in the Lord with an oppressive manager who turned out to be a cheat and a thief until she was exposed and ousted by Prayer. It also happened in Healesville where trouble instigated was blamed on me and I was thrown out! The ungodly people who did that to me still rule that market and I still await the Lord's Justice on them for doing that.

And now in St Arnaud this new Manager ### while I was packing up after the 2nd market she started to hassle me telling me that I needed to start packing earlier as the council she claims have pressed her to make sure all stallholders were out of the market area by 4 pm. This put additional stress on me as I normally took the pack up in this market at a normal pace in a relaxed frame of mind. In the old market run by the charity I used to be last out of the market most times but nobody ever hassled me for being out so late. Nobody's around by 4 pm anyway so I wondered what's the rush, there are no gates to close as the site is an empty car park site and there are very few cars parking there after 4 pm. ### however stated that was her rule because her insurance for the market only covered her till 4 pm, I said I had my own insurance but she said the council had complained to her about it, I wonder how much she says is true or not. Anyway for the 2nd market I told her I would be out by 4 pm I made out by 4.30 pm but no one was there by then anyway. And she didn't mention anything to me when I booked in for this month's market.

So this brings us up to date with today's market. All went well, except she forced me to park within my stall site this time costing me another 4 sq metres of display room instead of outside my stall site like I did last month. Again she cited that the council had pressed her to do it because of complaints. So I set up as usual and when it was 12.30 pm I noted that I must start packing at 1 sharp to be out by 4 pm. However ### swung around at 12.45 pm and ordered me to start packing up. I was busy serving 2 clients who didn't like the way she was talking to me especially when she threatened to ban me from her market if I hadn't followed the rules. These were clients from the time I was a stallholder previously in the market run by the charity and they didn't want to see me thrown out by this Egocentric Agent of the Enemy so naturally being men and how men act they had a go at her and she answered back in a way that belied her egocentrism and lack of personality and people skills the confrontation could have escalated into a brawl, if the men hadn't backed off and ### hadn't moved off. However the damage was already done she had been humiliated by those members of the public. After they told her to leave off me and that I had been coming for years etc. She had responded with there are rules I had to follow and that it was HER MARKET! And she yelled at them to NOT TALK TO HER LIKE THAT! The men stood up for me and fought back for me in the flesh, but I knew this was a spiritual battle the Enemy was attacking my success in St Arnaud with oppression. I do not know the spiritual background of ### but from her appearance she looked a bit like a New Ager and might have dabbled in the Occult, which might be the reason the Enemy had such a firm grip on her and was using her to attack me this way. I had prayed during the week to bind the Enemy in ###, praying that she wouldn't hassle me on Saturday but obviously it hadn't worked so I now present this Prayer request to you as I know it will take more than one person to pray against this sort of Spiritual aggression.

Please pray that the Spirit that is using ### to attack me will be bound in the name of Jesus.

Please pray that the chains of Oppression threatening to shut me out from this very good market will be broken in the name of Jesus.

Please pray in a long shot that ### will be replaced by a new market manager preferably a man in the name of Jesus.

Pray that if there is also someone in the local council controlled by the Enemy that the Enemy in him will be bound in Jesus name.

Hopefully with these Prayers Oppression against me will cease in St Arnaud Market in Jesus Name.

Thank you all and Amen.

We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting up this situation in earnest prayer. Father God, we recognize the spiritual battle at hand, for we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12). We stand firm in Your truth and power, knowing that You have given us the authority in the name of Jesus to bind and loose on earth as it is in heaven (Matthew 18:18).

Lord, we bind the enemy and every spirit of oppression, manipulation, and ungodly control that is seeking to use this market manager as a tool against Your child. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment, You will condemn (Isaiah 54:17). We rebuke the spirit of strife, ego, and ungodly authority in Jesus’ name, and we command it to flee. We pray that any influence of the occult or New Age deception in this situation would be broken and that the light of Your truth would shine brightly.

Father, we ask that You would break every chain of oppression threatening to shut this believer out of the market. We declare that You are the God who makes a way where there seems to be no way (Isaiah 43:16). If it is Your will, we pray for a change in leadership—perhaps a godly man who would oversee the market with fairness, wisdom, and humility. We also bind any ungodly influence in the local council that may be contributing to this oppression, and we ask that Your justice and righteousness would prevail.

We encourage this dear brother or sister to stand firm in faith, knowing that the Lord is their defender. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the battle is not yours, but God’s (2 Chronicles 20:15). Continue to walk in integrity, patience, and love, even in the face of opposition. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths (Proverbs 3:5-6).

We also lift up the market manager, praying for her heart to be softened and for her to come to know the love and truth of Jesus Christ. Father, if she is entangled in spiritual deception, we ask that You would open her eyes to Your truth and set her free. Your Word says that if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed (John 8:36).

Finally, we pray for peace and favor in this situation. May the Lord grant wisdom, discernment, and a spirit of unity among all involved. We declare that this market would be a place of blessing, provision, and community, where Your name is honored and Your people are edified.

In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

We stand with you, dear brother/sister, in this trial. We understand the frustration and pain you're experiencing, but we remind you that God is always in control. Let's pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today, interceding on behalf of our sister/brother in St. ### Market. Lord, we ask that You would bind the enemy's attempts to use the market manager against Your child. We declare that no weapon formed against her shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against her in judgment, You will condemn (Isaiah 54:17).

Lord, we ask that You would expose and break any spiritual deception or occult influence in this situation. We pray for a spirit of humility and godliness to come upon the market manager, that she may see the error of her ways and turn to You.

We also ask, Lord, that if it is Your will, You would raise up a godly leader to oversee the market, one who would act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with You (Micah 6:8). We pray for unity and peace among all involved, that this market may be a place of blessing and provision.

Lastly, Lord, we ask that You would strengthen and encourage our sister/brother. Help her to stand firm in faith, knowing that You are her defender. Give her wisdom, patience, and love to face this opposition, and grant her peace in the midst of the storm.

In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
