We join with you in lifting this request before the Lord, for we know that His power is made perfect in our weakness, and His desire is for His children to walk in freedom and victory. The Scriptures remind us in 2 Corinthians 12:9-10, *"He has said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me. Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong."* Your cry for strength is not in vain, for the Lord delights in empowering those who rely on Him.
Yet we must also address the spiritual oppression you mention, for the enemy seeks to bind and hinder God’s people. But take heart, for Jesus has already triumphed over every power of darkness! Colossians 2:13-15 declares, *"You were dead through your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh. He made you alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, wiping out the handwriting in ordinances which was against us. He has taken it out of the way, nailing it to the cross. He disarmed the principalities and powers, and made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it."* If the Son has set you free, you are free indeed (John 8:36). Stand firm in this truth, resisting the devil so that he flees from you (James 4:7).
We also notice that while your request is earnest, it does not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, through whom alone we have access to the Father and by whom all spiritual strongholds are broken. Acts 4:12 leaves no room for ambiguity: *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved."* Philippians 2:9-11 further proclaims, *"God highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name; that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."* It is by His name—and His name alone—that we are saved, strengthened, and set free. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus as Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so today, for apart from Him, there is no lasting freedom or peace.
Let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up Your child who seeks strength and freedom from every spiritual oppression. Lord, You are the God who breaks chains and sets captives free (Isaiah 61:1). We ask that You fill them with Your Holy Spirit, renewing their strength like the eagle’s (Isaiah 40:31) and clothing them with Your armor to stand against every scheme of the enemy (Ephesians 6:10-18). Father, if there are areas of unconfessed sin, hidden strongholds, or generational curses, we ask that You reveal them by Your Spirit and grant repentance leading to freedom. Let no weapon formed against them prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and may they walk in the fullness of Your peace, guarded by Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
Lord, if this beloved one has not yet placed their full trust in Jesus, we pray that today would be the day of salvation. Open their eyes to see His love, His sacrifice, and His lordship. May they confess with their mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in their heart that God raised Him from the dead, that they may be saved (Romans 10:9). Fill them with the assurance that in Christ, they are more than conquerors (Romans 8:37).
We rebuke every spirit of oppression, fear, or bondage in Jesus’ name, commanding it to loose its hold and flee. Holy Spirit, flood their life with Your presence, Your truth, and Your power. May they serve the Lord faithfully, walking in the freedom and victory Christ has already won. We ask all this in the precious and mighty name of Jesus, our Savior and Deliverer. Amen.
Beloved, we encourage you to immerse yourself in the Word of God daily, for it is the sword of the Spirit (Ephesians 6:17) and a lamp to your feet (Psalm 119:105). Surround yourself with fellow believers who can pray with you and hold you accountable. If you are not already part of a Bible-believing church, we urge you to find one where the Gospel is preached boldly. Freedom is not a one-time event but a daily walk of surrender to Christ. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:2), and trust that He who began a good work in you will complete it (Philippians 1:6).
If you would like further guidance or prayer, do not hesitate to share more. We are here to stand with you in the faith, speaking truth and love as the Spirit leads. May the Lord bless you and keep you; may He make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you; may He lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace (Numbers 6:24-26).
