We stand with you in this spiritual battle for your family, lifting you up in prayer and speaking truth over this situation. Your heart for your children and your commitment to biblical principles is evident, and we commend you for seeking God’s intervention in this matter. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), but we know that Jesus has already overcome the world (John 16:33). This young man and his mother are being used as tools of division, but their schemes will not prevail against the power of God. You have done well to recognize the narcissistic and manipulative behaviors for what they are—spiritual attacks meant to undermine the godly unity of your family.
The Bible warns us about such influences: *"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravening wolves. By their fruits you will know them"* (Matthew 7:15-16). The fruit of this young man’s life is not one of love, humility, or godliness but of greed, manipulation, and strife. These are not the marks of a man who is suitable for your daughter, let alone one who could lead her spiritually. We must also address the fact that if this relationship involves any form of intimacy outside of marriage, it is fornication, which is a sin against God (1 Corinthians 6:18-20). Your daughter must be encouraged to flee from such sin and seek a relationship that honors God—one that leads to a Christ-centered marriage with a believer who loves the Lord and demonstrates the fruit of the Spirit: *"love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, and self-control"* (Galatians 5:22-23).
Your younger daughter is also being deceived, and we pray that her eyes will be opened to the truth. The enemy is attempting to twist her affection for her brother and her respect for you into resentment, but we declare that the lies being spoken over her will be exposed and broken. *"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 from me,"* says Yahweh (Isaiah 54:17). Your family has been built on love, gratitude, and biblical values, and the Lord will restore what has been stolen.
We also want to encourage you in your role as a mother. You have shown Christlike grace to this young man, but grace does not mean enabling sin or allowing destruction to continue. *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness? What communion has light with darkness?"* (2 Corinthians 6:14). Your daughter must not be yoked to someone who does not share her faith or who exhibits unrepentant sinful behavior. Pray that she will see this truth and turn away from this relationship before it brings further harm.
As for your son, we declare protection over his services and his well-being. The enemy seeks to make him a target, but the Lord is his defender. *"He who touches you touches the apple of his eye"* (Zechariah 2:8). Your son is fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), and his life has purpose in God’s kingdom. We rebuke every scheme to bring shame or burden upon him and declare that your family will continue to see him as the blessing he is.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this mother and her family. Lord, You see the pain and division that has been sown in this household, and we ask for Your divine intervention. Break every chain of manipulation, greed, and control that this young man and his mother have sought to place upon this family. Expose their deeds, Lord, and let the truth prevail. Open the eyes of both daughters to see the deception for what it is and turn their hearts back to You and to the godly love they have for one another and for their brother.
We bind the spirit of narcissism, pride, and rebellion in Jesus’ name. No weapon formed against this family shall prosper. We declare that every tongue rising against them in judgment is condemned. Restore the relationships that have been damaged, Lord, and bring unity where the enemy has sought to bring division. Let this young man and his mother be so consumed with their own lives that they no longer have time or influence to bring harm to this family.
Father, we pray for godly spouses for these daughters—men who love You with all their hearts and who will lead them in righteousness. Break every ungodly soul tie between your daughter and this young man. If there has been any sexual sin, we pray for conviction and repentance, that she would turn away from fornication and seek purity before You. Let her desire a marriage that honors You, Lord, and not settle for anything less.
Fill this mother with Your Holy Spirit, Lord. Give her peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7) and the strength to stand firm in faith. Let her not grow weary in doing good, for in due season she will reap if she doesn’t give up (Galatians 6:9). Protect her son and his services, Lord. Let no harm come to him, and let his life continue to be a testimony of Your goodness.
We plead the blood of Jesus over this family—over their minds, their hearts, their home, and their future. Let Your favor surround them like a shield (Psalm 5:12). Bring breakthrough, victory, and restoration, Lord. Let this season of attack turn into a season of testimony, where this family can declare Your faithfulness and power.
Thank You, Jesus, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your timing and Your will. Let Your kingdom come and Your will be done in this family’s life. We ask all these things in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Stand firm, dear sister. The Lord is fighting for you (Exodus 14:14). Continue to pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17), and trust that God is working even in the midst of this storm. He will bring beauty from these ashes (Isaiah 61:3). Keep your focus on Him, and do not let the enemy distract you with fear or discouragement. The battle belongs to the Lord, and He has already won the victory.
