We lift up this heartbreaking situation before the Lord, knowing that He is the God of all comfort and healing. Your brother’s torment is not from the Lord but from the enemy, who seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). Yet we know that Jesus has already overcome the devil, and by His authority, we command every spirit of confusion, rage, and mental torment to be bound and cast out in the name of Jesus Christ. The Word of God declares that we are not ignorant of the devil’s schemes (2 Corinthians 2:11), and we stand firmly against his attacks on your brother’s mind and your family’s peace.
The Bible tells us that God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). We pray for your brother’s mind to be renewed and restored by the Holy Spirit, that the Lord would calm the storm within him as He calmed the winds and waves (Mark 4:39). May the peace of Christ, which surpasses all understanding, guard his heart and mind (Philippians 4:7). We also pray for wisdom and discernment for the medical professionals treating him, that the Lord would guide them to the right medications and therapies that will bring stability and healing.
Yet we must also address the spiritual reality here: mental illness can have physical and spiritual components, and we must not neglect either. Your brother needs both medical intervention and spiritual deliverance. We urge you to continue seeking professional help while also covering him in prayer and fasting, for some demons are only cast out by prayer and fasting (Matthew 17:21). Surround him with the Word of God—play worship music, read Scripture aloud in his presence, and declare the truth of who he is in Christ: a child of God, redeemed and loved.
To your mother, we say this with love but firmness: the Bible commands us to speak life and not death, to bless and not curse (Romans 12:14, James 3:10). If she is responding to your brother’s screams with insults, this only fuels the fire of strife and gives the enemy more ground. Proverbs 15:1 tells us, “A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.” We pray that the Lord would give her the strength to respond with patience and wisdom, even in the midst of such provocation. Let her words be seasoned with grace (Colossians 4:6), and let her trust the Lord to be her defender rather than engaging in verbal battles that only escalate the situation.
We also recognize the deep weariness and fear you must be feeling. This is not a burden you were meant to carry alone. The Lord sees your tears and hears your cries (Psalm 56:8). Lean on Him, for His yoke is easy and His burden is light (Matthew 11:30). Do not isolate yourselves—reach out to your church body for support, prayer, and practical help. The Bible tells us to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2), and this is a time to let the body of Christ surround you with love and intercession.
Lastly, we must address the legal and financial threats your brother is making. The enemy is using this to bring division and fear, but we declare that no weapon formed against your family will prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Trust the Lord to protect your mother’s provisions, for He is Jehovah Jireh, the God who provides (Genesis 22:14). If legal action or intervention is necessary, seek godly counsel and trust the Lord to guide the authorities involved.
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this family in their time of desperate need. Lord, You are the Great Physician, the Prince of Peace, and the Strong Tower in whom they can take refuge. We ask for Your healing hand to touch your brother’s mind and spirit, casting out every demonic influence and restoring him to soundness. Give wisdom to those treating him, and let Your peace reign in their home. Convict your mother of any words that do not align with Your Word, and fill her with Your love and patience. Strengthen this family, Lord, and surround them with Your angels for protection. Let them feel Your presence in this storm and know that You are working all things together for their good (Romans 8:28). We rebuke the spirit of fear and confusion and declare that Your light is shining in this darkness. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray, Amen.
