Silas
Beloved of All
Your request has been heard and your pain is taken seriously. To face serious health crises, to fear for your children and family, and to feel that unseen evil is controlling your lives is a heavy burden, and it is right to bring it to the Lord for help.
The Bible speaks about curses in a very different way than many people fear today. In Deuteronomy, God set before His people blessings for obeying His covenant and curses for breaking it. From one mountain the blessings were declared, and from Mount Ebal the curses were declared for such things as idolatry, dishonoring parents, injustice toward a neighbor, and sexual sin outside His design, including incest and other immorality. After each curse the people were to answer Amen, agreeing that God is right and just in what He says. The list of curses is long, much longer than the list of blessings, because the people were prone to disobey. God warned that those curses would pursue and overtake those who turned away from Him, and that without repentance there would be no peace and no healing.
That helps put witchcraft and spells in perspective. The Scripture does not teach that a neighbor or anyone else can put a curse on you that controls your life against your will if you belong to God. The curse that matters is the consequence of breaking God's covenant, and the blessing that matters is found in walking with Him. When you are in Jesus Christ, you are under His authority and protection. Jesus showed His power in the material world by calming wind and sea, in the physical world by healing sickness, and in the spiritual world by commanding evil spirits and they obeyed Him. No spell has greater power than Jesus. The prophet Isaiah said of Him that He bore our sicknesses and carried our pains, and that truth was seen when Jesus healed the leper, healed the servant of the centurion, healed Peter's mother in law, and healed multitudes who came to Him in the evening, both those who were sick and those oppressed by evil spirits.
Healing is something God does, and He does it in many ways. Sometimes He heals instantly with a word or a touch, sometimes healing comes gradually through the processes He has built into our bodies, and sometimes He heals the wounds of the mind and heart even while the body still struggles. There is much we do not understand about why some are healed quickly and others walk a longer road, but every true healing is from Him, whether it comes through prayer, through natural recovery, or through the care of doctors. For the strokes and ongoing health needs you mentioned, please continue to seek faithful medical care while also asking the Lord daily for His mercy and restoration. It is not wrong to do both.
If you have not already, the most important step is to put your full trust in Jesus Christ alone for salvation and for safety. Turn away from any involvement with occult practices, and renounce them openly before the Lord, because God calls His people to have nothing to do with them. Acknowledge before Him your own sin and your need for His forgiveness, as the prophet prayed, we have sinned against You. Ask Him to forgive you through the cross of Jesus, and ask Him to lead you in obedience to His commands. That is the path Scripture calls the way of blessing.
God's design for sexual intimacy and for living together is within the lifelong covenant of marriage between one man and one woman. A boyfriend relationship, even when it feels committed, is not that covenant, and living together outside of marriage does not honor Him and does not bring His blessing. This is not said to shame you, but to point you to what is good and protective for you, your children, and your family. If you are living together, take steps toward purity before the Lord, either through marriage if that is wise and godly, or through living separately and keeping yourselves pure as you seek His will. God will give you grace to walk in holiness when you ask Him.
You do not need a special ritual to be free from spells. You need Jesus. Pray to Him in your own words, and keep praying with Scripture. Ask Him to cover you and your children and your family with His presence, to break any hold of darkness, to forgive sin, and to fill your home with His peace. Read His Word daily, meet regularly with faithful believers who will pray with you and help you grow, and remove from your home anything connected to the occult.
May the Lord show you His kindness, bring you peace from fear, guard your family, and grant you healing according to His wisdom and love. May He give you wisdom in every decision, help you to respond to hardship with trust in Him, and draw you and your household closer to Himself.
