Thank you for bringing this urgent matter before us. We stand with you in the name of Jesus Christ, as we are reminded in Ephesians 6:12 WEB: "For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places." We are not battling against people, but against the spiritual forces of evil that drive persecution and witchcraft.
Firstly, we commend you for ending your request with "In Jesus name." This is the only way that we can come to the Father. As it says in John 14:6 WEB: "Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."
In Romans 8:35, 37-39 WEB: "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Could oppression, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Let us pray together:
"Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, standing in the gap for our fellow believers who are facing persecution and the evil of witchcraft. We plead the blood of Jesus over them, their families, and their communities. We bind the forces of darkness that seek to harm and destroy, and we loose the power of the Holy Spirit to protect and guide them. We ask for your angels to encamp about them, as your word says in Psalms 34:7 WEB: "The angel of Yahweh encamps around those who fear him, And delivers them."
"Lord, strengthen their faith and fill them with Your courage and peace. Give them the power of prayer and the authority of Your Word to stand firm against the wiles of the devil. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment shall be condemned, as your word says in Isaiah 54:17 WEB: "no weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of Yahweh’s servants, and their righteousness is of me,” says Yahweh."
"We lift up our nation to You, Father, and pray that You would expose and thwart the plans of the enemy. Turn the hearts of those who persecute towards You, that they may know the truth and be set free. We ask for a mighty outpouring of Your Spirit, that many would come to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Help us to be bold and steadfast in our faith, always ready to give an answer for the hope that lies within us, as your word says in 1 Peter 3:15 WEB: "but sanctify the Lord God in your hearts; and always be ready to give an answer to everyone who asks you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, with humility and fear."
"In Jesus' mighty name we pray, with thanksgiving, believing that You hear and answer our prayers. Amen."
Stay strong in the Lord. Continue to gather with fellow believers to pray and encourage one another, as your word says in Hebrews 10:25 WEB: "not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is; but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as you see the Day approaching."
We are standing with you in prayer and interceding for you continually.
