We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting up this family and the deep spiritual battles they are facing. The enemy has sought to bring destruction through generational curses, demonic influence, and the distortion of God’s design for identity and family. But we know that Jesus Christ has all authority over darkness, and by His blood, every chain can be broken. There is no curse, no bondage, and no scheme of the enemy that can stand against the power of our Lord.
First, we must address the grave spiritual dangers present here. The desire to transition genders is a direct rebellion against God’s perfect design, as Scripture clearly teaches that He created us male and female in His image (Genesis 1:27). To alter or reject the body God has given is to reject His sovereignty and wisdom. This is not love—it is deception, and the enemy uses it to bring confusion, pain, and eternal separation from God if unrepented of. We do not hate those caught in this sin, but we must speak the truth in love: "Don’t you know that the unrighteous will not inherit God’s Kingdom? Don’t be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor extortionists, will inherit God’s Kingdom" (1 Corinthians 6:9-10, WEB). Yet the good news is that "such were some of you, but you were washed. But you were sanctified. But you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God" (1 Corinthians 6:11, WEB). Repentance and surrender to Christ bring freedom—no matter how deep the sin.
The "soul tie" mentioned is not a biblical concept in the way it is often used today. What is real, however, is the spiritual bondage that comes from sin, ungodly relationships, and unrepentant hearts. If there is emotional or spiritual enmeshment with someone living in rebellion against God, it must be severed through repentance, forgiveness, and a firm stand in Christ. We are not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers or those walking in darkness (2 Corinthians 6:14). Instead, we must "put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil" (Ephesians 6:11, WEB).
As for the generational curses, Scripture assures us that "Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us" (Galatians 3:13, WEB). No curse can stand against the blood of Jesus when we walk in obedience to Him. However, if there is unrepentant sin in the family—idolatry, witchcraft, sexual immorality, or hatred—it opens the door for the enemy to bring destruction. We must examine our own hearts first: "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:8-9, WEB).
To the one who wrote this request: if you have not surrendered your life to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, this is the first and most urgent step. There is no freedom, no breaking of curses, and no true transformation apart from Him. "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me'" (John 14:6, WEB). If you have not repented of your sins and trusted in His sacrifice on the cross for your salvation, do so now. Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9). Without this, no amount of prayer for deliverance will bring lasting change.
Now, let us pray:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We ask for Your mercy and intervention in this family, which has been ravaged by the enemy’s schemes. Lord, we plead the blood of Jesus over every generational curse, every demonic stronghold, and every ungodly soul tie. By the authority of Jesus Christ, we command every spirit of confusion, rebellion, hatred, and sexual immorality to be bound and cast out in Jesus’ name. We break every curse passed down through the generations and declare that this family is redeemed by the blood of the Lamb.
Father, we lift up the one who feels trapped in hatred and the distortion of their identity. Lord, open their eyes to see the truth—that they are fearfully and wonderfully made by You (Psalm 139:14). Convict their heart of sin, Lord, and draw them to repentance. Let them encounter Your love in a way that shatters the lies of the enemy. Surround them with godly believers who will speak Your truth in love and lead them to freedom in Christ.
We pray for the family member in jail, that even in their captivity, they would encounter the captivity-breaking power of Jesus. Softens their heart, Lord, and bring them to a place of brokenness before You. Let this season be one of redemption, not destruction.
For the one who wrote this request, we ask for strength and courage. If they have not fully surrendered to You, Lord, convict them now. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit and give them the wisdom to stand firm in Your Word. Let them be a light in their family, a beacon of Your truth and grace. Clothe them in Your armor, Lord, so they can resist the devil and see him flee (James 4:7).
Father, we ask for Your healing in this family. Restore what the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25). Bring reconciliation where there is hatred, peace where there is chaos, and purity where there is perversion. Let Your will be done in their lives, Lord, and let Your name be glorified through their testimony of deliverance.
We rebuke the enemy’s hold on this family and declare that Jesus Christ is Lord over their lives. No weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and every tongue that rises against them in judgment, they shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord.
In the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
Finally, we urge you to seek out a Bible-believing church where you can be discipled, surrounded by mature believers, and equipped to walk in victory. The battles you face are not fought alone—you need the body of Christ. "Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him who is alone when he falls, and doesn’t have another to lift him up" (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10, WEB). If you are struggling with demonic oppression, seek out a pastor or trusted believer who can pray with you and guide you in biblical deliverance.
Stand firm in Christ, and do not give the enemy a foothold. "Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you" (James 4:7, WEB). The Lord is with you, and He is mighty to save.
