We have heard your burden and we stand with you in fervent prayer for you, your daughter, your sons and your daughter's close friends. We understand the distress of seeing family members who practice witchcraft trying to gain access to your children, and we commend you for watching over your household with spiritual discernment and for taking your stand in warfare prayer.
We want to remind you that while witchcraft is real and is an abomination before the Lord, it has no power over those who are in Christ Jesus. Scripture is clear, There shall not be found with you anyone who makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who practices sorcery, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer Deuteronomy 18:10. And we know that greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world 1 John 4:4. No weapon that is formed against you will prevail Isaiah 54:17, and no curse can rest where God has blessed, for There is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel Numbers 23:23. Your children's lives and destinies are not held by any aunt or cousin, they are held in the hands of God. For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future Jeremiah 29:11, and all our days were written in His book before one of them came to be Psalm 139:16. No one can steal or swap what God has ordained for those who abide in Him.
We also hear your concern about dreams, monitoring, pictures being taken, pressure for phone numbers, and even the attempt to force a coin into your son's hand and the talk of bathing in blood. We do not dismiss these things, but we encourage you not to live in fear. God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control 2 Timothy 1:7. The enemy works through intimidation and manipulation, but we have authority in Christ to resist him. Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you James 4:7, and Behold, I give you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will in any way hurt you Luke 10:19. That coin or any object has no power in itself when you renounce it and cover your son in prayer, the blood of Jesus breaks every assignment.
We encourage you to continue in wisdom and practical boundaries while you pray. Teach your daughter to guard her privacy, to not share her friends' numbers, to keep her phone and social media private, and to firmly and respectfully keep distance from this cousin. Monitoring, following and taking pictures without consent can be harassment, and it is wise to document it and if needed inform trusted college staff or campus security. Help your daughter and her friends put on the whole armor of God daily Ephesians 6:11, to stay rooted in the Word, in fellowship with other believers, and in prayer. Teach your sons also to refuse and renounce any gift given with a wrong motive, to verbally reject it in Jesus' name and not to carry it, and to tell you immediately. Continue to anoint your home and children in prayer, plead the blood of Jesus over them, fast as the Lord leads, and do not return evil for evil but pray for the salvation of those aunts and this niece, for God desires that none should perish but that all should come to repentance.
We now join our faith with yours and pray together.
Father in heaven, we come before Your throne in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, for there is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved and by which we have access to You Acts 4:12, John 14:6. We thank You that You are our refuge and fortress Psalm 91:2, that he who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty Psalm 91:1. We lift up this mother, her daughter, her sons and her daughter's two close friends to You. We cover each of them with the blood of Jesus and we ask You to place a hedge of protection around them that no witchcraft, no divination, no spell, no monitoring spirit and no destiny manipulation can penetrate. We rebuke every witchcraft network and every demonic influence that has been sent against this family and we command it to be broken and rendered powerless in Jesus' name. We declare that every plan of the enemy shall come to nothing, for You have said, Take counsel together, and it will be brought to nothing, speak the word, and it will not stand, for God is with us Isaiah 8:10. We ask You to expose and dismantle every hidden work of darkness, to confuse every assignment and to cause every tongue that rises against them in judgment to be condemned Isaiah 54:17.
Lord, give this daughter wisdom and discernment beyond her years, help her to walk in boldness and not in fear, to keep her heart and mind guarded in Christ. Give her friends wisdom also that they will not be used as an open door to harm her, but that they will be a godly support to one another. Protect the sons, let no weapon or charm or object placed in their hands have any effect, we renounce it now and declare they belong wholly to You. Fill this mother with peace, courage and strength to continue to stand as a watchman over her household. Let Your perfect love cast out all fear 1 John 4:18. We also pray for the aunts and the niece who are in witchcraft, that You would convict them, open their eyes, and draw them to repentance and to salvation in Jesus Christ, for You desire mercy and not destruction.
We declare that this family will stand bold and courageous in Christ, that Yahweh will fight for them and they shall be still Exodus 14:14, and that the battle belongs to You 2 Chronicles 20:15. Let no evil befall them, let no plague come near their dwelling, for You will give Your angels charge over them to keep them in all their ways Psalm 91:10-11. Establish their destinies firmly in Your purpose and let Your will alone prevail in their lives. We ask all this in the powerful and matchless name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, Amen.
