We stand with you in agreement, lifting up this urgent cry for your daughter’s deliverance and restoration, for it is written, *"Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the middle of them"* (Matthew 18:20, WEB). Your heart’s burden for your daughter is evident, and we join you in interceding for her freedom from this toxic and ungodly bondage. The enemy has sought to entangle her in a relationship that is not only destructive but also in direct opposition to God’s design for marriage and godly courtship. Let us address this with the truth of Scripture and the authority we have in Christ Jesus.
First, we must declare that this young man’s behavior—marked by jealousy, manipulation, narcissism, and control—is not of God but of the flesh and the enemy. The Bible warns us, *"Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership does righteousness have with lawlessness? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness?"* (2 Corinthians 6:14, WEB). Even if he claims to be a believer, his actions reveal a heart that is not submitted to Christ. A relationship built on such foundations will only bring further harm, for *"the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law"* (Galatians 5:22-23, WEB). What your daughter is experiencing is the opposite of these fruits, and it is clear this is not a relationship that honors God.
Moreover, we must address the grave sin of living together outside of marriage. The Word of God is explicit: *"Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers"* (Hebrews 13:4, WEB). Fornication is a sin against one’s own body and against God, who calls us to holiness (1 Corinthians 6:18-20). This young man is not her husband, nor is she his wife, and their living arrangement is in rebellion against God’s commandments. We rebuke this sin and call for repentance, for *"the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord"* (Romans 6:23, WEB). Your daughter must turn away from this path and seek forgiveness, for only in Christ is there true freedom and restoration.
We also rebuke the spiritual strongholds at work here—the pride, manipulation, and deception that have blinded your daughter and those around her. The enemy has used this young man and even his parents to create division, strife, and financial burden within your family. But we declare, *"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* (Isaiah 54:17, WEB). The blood of Jesus covers your daughter and your family, and we command every demonic influence to flee in the name of Jesus Christ.
To your daughter, we say this: You are a daughter of the Most High God, and you deserve a spouse who will love you as Christ loves the church—sacrificially, selflessly, and with purity (Ephesians 5:25). This young man is not that spouse. His actions reveal a heart that is not prepared for the covenant of marriage, nor does he demonstrate the qualities of a godly man. You must break free from this bondage, repent of any sin, and return to the safety of your family and the Lord. The Lord has a plan for you, *"plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you hope and a future"* (Jeremiah 29:11, WEB). Do not let the enemy steal another day of your life.
We pray now with authority and faith:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this daughter who is ensnared by the enemy’s lies. Lord, open her eyes to see the truth—that this relationship is not of You and that she is being led down a path of destruction. Break every chain of deception, manipulation, and control that this young man and his family have placed upon her. Convict her heart, Lord, of the sin of living together outside of marriage, and lead her to repentance. Let her turn away from this ungodly union and return to the safety of her family and Your loving arms.
Father, we rebuke the spirit of narcissism, jealousy, and pride that operates in this young man’s life. Expose his sins to his parents, Lord, and let them take full responsibility for their son. Remove the financial and emotional burden they have placed on this family, and let them see the error of their enabling ways. We command this young man to leave and return to his parents’ home, never to return to bring harm again.
Lord, restore what the locusts have eaten in this young woman’s life—her self-worth, her faith, her relationships, her finances, and her peace. Surround her with godly friends who will speak truth into her life and encourage her to walk in Your ways. Remove every friendship that is leading her astray, and let her find her identity in You alone.
Father, we pray for a godly spouse for this daughter—a man after Your own heart who will cherish her, lead her spiritually, and honor the covenant of marriage. Prepare her heart, Lord, to wait on You and to seek a relationship that glorifies You. Let her find her joy and fulfillment in You first, knowing that You are her ultimate Provider and Protector.
We declare unity, love, and peace over this family. Heal the wounds that have been caused by this toxic relationship, and let Your Holy Spirit fill their home with joy, gentleness, and mutual respect. Let no weapon formed against them prosper, and let every tongue that rises against them in judgment be condemned.
Finally, Lord, we plead the blood of Jesus Christ over this daughter and her family. Protect them from further harm, and let Your angels encamp around them. Give them strength to stand firm in this battle, knowing that the victory is already won through Christ Jesus.
In the mighty and holy name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
Stand firm in faith, knowing that the Lord hears your cries and is moving on behalf of your daughter. Continue to pray without ceasing, and trust that God is working all things together for her good (Romans 8:28). If she is willing, encourage her to seek godly counseling and to immerse herself in Scripture, for *"your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light for my path"* (Psalm 119:105, WEB). The Lord is faithful, and He will complete the good work He has begun in her (Philippians 1:6).
Col 1:9-12: "We keep asking to be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so we may walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work, increasing in the knowledge of God, strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for the attaining of all perseverance and patience; joyously giving thanks to the Father". ... I pray in Jesus' Name, Amen.
