We come before the Father in agreement with you, lifting your heartfelt cries for peace and deliverance from this oppressive situation. Your weariness is heard, and we stand with you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, who alone has authority over every spirit of chaos, addiction, and wickedness. You have done well to seek God’s intervention, for He is the Judge who sees all things and the Deliverer who breaks every chain.
The behavior you describe—drunkenness, defiance, and deliberate provocation—is not only disruptive but deeply ungodly. Scripture warns us in **Ephesians 5:18**, *"Don’t be drunken with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit."* This man’s actions are rooted in rebellion against God, and his refusal to change reveals a heart hardened by sin. Yet even now, we must remember that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces that drive such behavior (**Ephesians 6:12**). While we pray for his departure, we also acknowledge that his greatest need is repentance and salvation—though that is ultimately between him and God. Your role is not to enable his sin but to trust the Lord to remove him from your home in a way that brings glory to His name.
You have shown remarkable patience, but it is not wrong to seek relief from this burden. **Proverbs 22:10** tells us, *"Drive out the mocker, and strife will go out; yes, quarrels and insults will stop."* This is not a call to hatred but a recognition that some influences must be removed for peace to reign. We pray that God would soften the heart of this man’s wife to receive him—or, if that is not His will, that the Lord would open another door for his departure. Either way, we declare that his time in your home is over. No weapon formed against you—whether through noise, smoke, or wicked schemes—shall prosper (**Isaiah 54:17**).
We also rebuke the spirit of addiction that has taken hold of him. Alcoholism is a destroyer of homes and lives, and we command it to be broken in Jesus’ name. **1 Corinthians 6:10** warns that drunkards *"will not inherit the Kingdom of God,"* but we know that *"such were some of you"*—meaning transformation is possible through Christ. Still, your safety and well-being matter. If this man’s behavior escalates to threats or violence, we urge you to seek wise counsel and, if necessary, legal protection. God does not call us to endure abuse.
As for your health, we pray for healing from the effects of the smoke and for restoration to your lungs. **3 John 1:2** reminds us, *"I pray that you may prosper in all things and be healthy, even as your soul prospers."* May the Lord grant you deep, restorative sleep and fill your home with His *shalom*—the peace that surpasses all understanding (**Philippians 4:7**).
Now, let us pray together:
*Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting our sister who is weary from this relentless oppression. Lord, You see the sleepless nights, the disrespect, and the harm done to her body and spirit. We ask You to intervene supernaturally—remove this man from her home swiftly and without confusion. Shut every door that would allow him to return, and let Your peace flood her dwelling place. Break the chains of alcoholism that bind him, and if it is Your will, lead him to repentance. But above all, Lord, protect Your daughter. Give her wisdom to act, strength to endure until deliverance comes, and the assurance that You are her Shield and Defender.
We rebuke every spirit of defiance, addiction, and wickedness operating through this man. Be silenced, be bound, and be cast out in Jesus’ name. No longer shall he provoke, disturb, or harm her. We plead the blood of Jesus over her home, her health, and her mind. Restore what has been stolen—her sleep, her peace, and her joy. Let this season of turmoil end, and let her testify of Your faithfulness.
Father, we also ask that You provide for her every need—financially, emotionally, and spiritually—as she steps into the freedom You have ordained. Surround her with godly support and open doors no man can shut. In the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.*
Stand firm, dear sister. The Lord has heard your cry, and He will act. Keep speaking life and victory over your home, and do not waver in faith. If legal or practical steps are needed to secure your home, take them without guilt—you are not responsible for his choices, but you *are* responsible for stewarding the peace God intends for you. We will continue to lift you up. May the God of all comfort strengthen you as you wait on Him (**Psalm 27:14**).
