We come before the Lord with you in this time of deep longing for breakthrough, knowing that He hears the cries of His children and is mighty to act on their behalf. Your heart is in the right place—seeking justice from the Lord rather than taking vengeance into your own hands, for Scripture tells us in Romans 12:19, *"Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, 'Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.'"*
Yet, we must also consider whether the true source of stagnancy lies in the actions of others or if there are areas in your own life where the Lord may be calling you to repentance, surrender, or deeper trust in Him. Sometimes, the enemy uses distractions—even the blame of others—to keep us from examining our own hearts. James 4:7-8 reminds us, *"Be subject therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded."* Have you searched your heart before the Lord to ensure there is no unconfessed sin, unforgiveness, or idolatry that may be giving the enemy a foothold? The Lord often uses seasons of waiting to refine us, to teach us dependence on Him rather than our own strength or the approval of others.
That said, we do acknowledge the reality of spiritual warfare. Ephesians 6:12 declares, *"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."* If there are indeed those who are speaking curses, sending negativity, or engaging in witchcraft against you, we stand in the authority of Jesus Christ to break every assignment of the enemy. The blood of Jesus is more powerful than any curse or hex, and no weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We pray that the Lord would expose and dismantle every hidden scheme, rendering the enemy powerless. May those who seek to harm you be so overwhelmed by the conviction of the Holy Spirit that they turn to repentance—or, as you’ve requested, be so occupied with their own lives that they no longer have time or energy to focus on you.
But let us not stop there. Stagnancy is often broken not just by the removal of obstacles but by the active pursuit of God’s will. Have you sought the Lord for His specific direction in this season? Jeremiah 29:11-13 assures us, *"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future. You shall call on me, and you shall go and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You shall seek me, and find me, when you search for me with all your heart."* Perhaps the Lord is waiting for you to step out in faith, to obey a word He has already spoken, or to surrender an area of your life fully to Him. Breakthrough often comes when we align ourselves with His purposes rather than our own timelines.
We also encourage you to guard your mind and heart during this time. Philippians 4:8 instructs us, *"Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report—if there is any virtue or praise, think about these things."* If you are meditating on the negativity or the delay more than you are meditating on the promises of God, it will only feed the stagnancy. Replace every fearful or bitter thought with the truth of Scripture. Declare aloud the victories God has already won for you, even if you don’t see them yet.
Lastly, we must ask: Are you walking in the fullness of your identity in Christ? If you are in Christ, you are *more* than a conqueror (Romans 8:37), seated with Him in heavenly places (Ephesians 2:6), and an heir to every spiritual blessing (Ephesians 1:3). Stagnancy cannot thrive where the Spirit of the Lord is actively worshipped and obeyed. If you have not already, we urge you to spend time in fasting and prayer, seeking the Lord’s face with humility. Breakthrough is not just about circumstances changing—it’s about *you* changing in the process, becoming more like Jesus.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Your child who has endured stagnancy and delay for far too long. Lord, You are the God who parts the Red Sea, who rolls away stones from tombs, and who turns mourning into dancing. We ask that You expose and break every curse, every assignment of the enemy, and every word spoken against this beloved one. Let those who have sought to harm them be rendered powerless, either by Your conviction leading them to repentance or by Your hand redirecting their focus entirely away. Lord, we bind every spirit of witchcraft, jealousy, or stagnancy in the name of Jesus, and we declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper.
But Father, we also ask that You search their heart. Reveal any area of unconfessed sin, unforgiveness, or disobedience that may be hindering Your flow in their life. Give them the courage to repent and the grace to walk in purity before You. If there are divine assignments You have called them to that they have delayed, stir their spirit to action. Remove every distraction, every fear, and every excuse that has kept them from stepping into the fullness of what You have prepared.
Lord, we pray for a supernatural breakthrough—one that can only be attributed to Your hand. Open doors that no man can shut, divinely connect them to the right people, and release Your favor upon every area of their life: spiritually, emotionally, financially, and relationally. Let this season of waiting produce a harvest of righteousness, patience, and faith that will testify to Your goodness.
Fill them with Your peace as they wait, guarding their mind from anxiety and their heart from bitterness. Remind them that You are not a man that You should lie, and what You have promised, You are faithful to perform. Let them see Your hand move in ways they have never seen before, and may this breakthrough be a testimony that draws others to You.
We rebuke the spirit of stagnancy and declare that this is the season of suddenlies—sudden provision, sudden restoration, sudden open doors. Let the enemy be put to shame as Your child rises in victory, clothed in the armor of God and walking in the authority of Jesus Christ.
We ask all this in the powerful name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior, who has already won the victory. Amen.
