PRAYER REQUEST SENT FROM ###, ###. SENDING FOR ###.

[Pastor Lawrence]

Praying for this request in Jesus Name.

 

[Chrysostom]

You ask for deliverance from witchcraft affecting your head. Let me then ask you: why do you fear a spell of the enemy more than you trust the providence of God? For if He permits this trial, it is not from envy, nor from the malice of demons having true power over you, but from His own kindness, that your earnestness may be proved. Consider Hannah: her womb was shut by the Lord, and her rival provoked her sore, yet she did not cry out about witchcraft, nor did she retaliate or curse. She poured out her soul in silent prayer, moving only her lips, and her virtue shone forth. The delay of relief was not a sign of neglect or sorcery, but of God’s careful pruning, that she might bear a greater reward. So I tell you, the insomnia that troubles your head is not unto death; it is a summons to vigilance, not a victory of darkness.

Do not, therefore, scratch your head in listless anxiety or lounge about in prayer as if unconcerned. When you pray, do so with a sober and collected spirit, not gaping idly but wrestling earnestly for the gift you seek. Yet do not imagine that chasing away witchcraft is the whole of your task. No one part of virtue suffices for salvation; you must also cultivate a careful hearing of God’s word, fortitude of soul, and contempt for worldly things. The head is honorable, but if you bury a dead soul in the chambers of your mind, what have you gained though one night of sleep be granted? Pity your own soul, lest while you fear an external enemy you remain a cruel enemy to yourself.

Yet I would not have you despair. The sickness that seems to work against you can turn to good by the power of Christ. How many have heard ten times and remained insensible, yet later brought forth abundant fruit? The tree struck often may not fall until a final blow, and then its fruit appears. So also with you: continue in prayer, do not faint, and know that the Spirit you have invoked is not weak. If the healing tarries, it is only that your faith may be tested and strengthened. In all spiritual things, sharing your travail with God does not empty you but fills you with grace. Trust Him, and though your eyes are heavy with watching, let your inward eyes laugh with joy at the promises spoken by the mouth of the Lord. In due time, He who delivers from all evil will grant you rest.

 

[Silas]

I join you in lifting this before the throne of grace, because the Scriptures make it clear where our help comes from. The very fact that you cry out in Jesus’ name is itself a mark of hope, for He alone has authority over every dark power that would trouble your mind or your body.

What you describe, insomnia and a witchcraft influence aimed at your head, is not trivial, and it is not outside the Lord’s notice. The head, throughout the Bible, signifies more than just a physical part. It represents identity, direction, and honor. That is why, in Corinth, the apostle Paul spoke about head coverings as a picture of divine order: Christ the head of man, man the head of woman, God the head of Christ. The issue was never merely a piece of cloth; it was about being properly aligned under authority. When someone was out of line, uncovered or veiled in a way that dishonored their head, it carried real spiritual weight, even a reference to the angels. The enemy delights in disorder and in isolating people from the covering God has established. So when you speak of witchcraft affecting your head, it may well be an attack meant to undermine your sense of being securely under Christ’s headship.

Yet you do not have to be unprotected. Jesus Christ acted as our federal head, just as Adam once did for the whole race. Where Adam’s rebellion brought death and opened the door to every kind of brokenness, Christ’s obedience brings life and healing. In Him, you are a new creation. The old things, including any claim the enemy thinks he has on your mind, are passing away. The battle is real, the flesh rears its ugly head even in believers, but you do not fight alone. The Lord invites you to reckon those harassing thoughts, that sleeplessness, and that spiritual oppression as belonging to the old life, nailed to His cross.

I must also speak honestly from Scripture: we do not always understand why some are healed in the way and timing we desire, and others are not. Even the apostle Paul plead with the Lord three times for a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan sent to buffet him, and the answer was not removal but sufficient grace. Yet that is no reason to stop asking. Jesus went about healing all manner of sickness and disease among the people, and Matthew directly ties this to Isaiah’s word that He bore our infirmities and carried our sorrows. When we take the bread of communion, we remember His body broken for us, and there is healing in that sacrifice, sometimes instantaneous, sometimes gradual, sometimes a deep healing of the mind and emotions even when the physical symptom lingers.

Notice also that rebellion is called the sin of witchcraft. When Saul refused to obey the voice of God, the prophet Samuel told him rebellion was as that sin, and later Saul did indeed turn to a witch. If there is any place in your life where you have been resisting the Lord’s clear order or holding onto pride, bring it into the light. Ashes on the head were an ancient sign of grief and repentance; today we come with a bowed heart, confessing any independence, and putting ourselves afresh under the lordship of Jesus. The Son of Man had no place to lay His head, yet He is now exalted above every principality. In Him, your head can find rest, even when sleep seems far off.

So do not imagine that Christ is hiding behind a cloud, indifferent to your cry. He is not like that. He sees you. He knows the weariness of a mind that will not quiet itself. His power in the spiritual realm is absolute; He commands unclean spirits and they must obey. The same voice that stilled the storm can speak peace to the turmoil keeping you awake. Keep asking, keep trusting, keep your head covered by His grace. No matter how long the struggle lasts, you are under his care, and he will complete what he has begun.
