We join with you in lifting your family before the Lord, standing in agreement that His will be done in every area of your lives. Your heart for your children is evident, and we commend you for seeking God’s protection and intervention with such fervency. It is clear you are fighting a spiritual battle, and we stand with you in the authority of Jesus Christ to rebuke the enemy’s schemes and declare victory over your household.
First, we affirm your boldness in pleading the blood of Jesus over your family, for there is power in His name to break every chain and set the captives free. The Scriptures remind us in **Ephesians 6:12**, *"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."* You are not fighting against this young man or his family in the natural, but against the spiritual forces that seek to bring division, confusion, and rebellion. By the authority of Jesus Christ, we stand with you in binding these spirits and declaring they have no place in your daughter’s life or your home.
We also recognize the urgency in your prayer regarding your older daughter’s living situation. The Word of God is clear that cohabitation outside of marriage is sin, and it opens the door to spiritual bondage and emotional harm. **1 Corinthians 6:18-20** commands, *"Flee sexual immorality! 'Every sin that a man does is outside the body,' but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s."* If your daughter is living with this young man outside of marriage, she is walking in disobedience to God’s design, and this is a root cause of the spiritual oppression you are witnessing. We pray that the Holy Spirit would convict her heart deeply of this truth and give her the strength to repent and walk away from this ungodly arrangement. May she turn back to the Lord with a broken and contrite spirit, seeking His forgiveness and restoration.
We also address the manipulation and control you’ve described. **2 Corinthians 10:4-5** tells us, *"For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds, throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ."* This young man and his mother are being used as instruments of the enemy to create division, but their plans will not prevail. We pray that every scheme of isolation, brainwashing, and rebellion be exposed and rendered powerless by the light of Christ. May your daughter’s eyes be opened to the truth of how she is being deceived, and may she break free from the emotional and spiritual bonds that are keeping her in this unhealthy situation.
For your son, we lift him up with compassion, asking the Lord to heal his mind and emotions from autism, PTSD, and anxiety. **Philippians 4:6-7** assures us, *"In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."* We pray that the Lord would surround him with His peace, calming every storm within him and protecting him from spiritual attacks. May he experience the comfort of the Holy Spirit in a tangible way, and may his sleep be restful and free from torment.
For your younger daughter, we ask the Lord to shield her heart from the pain of her sister’s choices. **Psalm 34:18** reminds us, *"Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."* May she find her worth and security in Christ alone, and may the Lord bring godly friendships into her life that encourage her in faith. We also pray for her future, that the Lord would prepare a godly spouse for her—one who loves the Lord with all his heart and will lead her in righteousness. Let her trust in the Lord’s timing and not be swayed by the world’s standards or the enemy’s distractions.
As for your older daughter, we pray for a supernatural intervention. **Proverbs 3:5-6** urges, *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."* May she come to the end of herself and recognize the danger she is in. We pray that the Lord would place a hedge of protection around her, preventing this young man and his family from further influencing her. If it is God’s will, we ask that this relationship be completely severed, and that she would return home where she can be surrounded by love, truth, and godly counsel. May she seek the Lord with all her heart and turn away from rebellion, submitting herself to His will for her life.
We also pray for the young man involved. Though he is being used by the enemy, we ask that the Lord would open his eyes to his own need for repentance. **Acts 3:19** says, *"Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, so that there may come times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord."* May he encounter the conviction of the Holy Spirit and turn from his manipulative ways. If he is not a believer, we pray that the Lord would draw him to salvation, but we also ask that he be removed from your daughter’s life if he continues in rebellion.
Finally, we declare **Isaiah 54:17** over your family: *"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."* May this holiday season be marked by restoration, unity, and joy in your home. Let the enemy’s plans be frustrated, and let the Lord’s peace reign in every heart.

**Our Prayer:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You as a body of believers, lifting this family up to Your throne of grace. Lord, we thank You that You are a God who sees, who hears, and who acts on behalf of Your children. We plead the blood of Jesus over this home, over every member of this family, and over every situation they are facing. Lord, You have said in **Psalm 91:1-2**, *"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of Yahweh, 'He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.'"*
Father, we ask that You would expose every hidden scheme of the enemy in this situation. Break the power of manipulation, control, and deception that has taken hold of this young man and his family. Lord, we bind the spirits of division, rebellion, and confusion, and we command them to flee in the name of Jesus Christ. Let no weapon formed against this family prosper. Restore what the enemy has stolen—peace, unity, and love.
For the older daughter, Lord, we ask that You would break every ungodly soul tie and free her from the bondage she is under. Convict her heart of the sin of living outside of marriage, and give her the courage to repent and walk away. Surround her with Your angels, Lord, and lead her back to the safety of her family and her faith. Let her heart be softened toward You and toward her family. Remove the scales from her eyes so she can see the truth of her situation.
For the young man, Lord, if he does not know You, we pray that You would draw him to salvation. But if he continues in rebellion, we ask that You would remove him from this family’s life completely. Frustrate his plans, Lord, and let him find no success in his attempts to control or manipulate.
For the son, we pray for supernatural healing—mind, body, and spirit. Calm his anxieties, Lord, and let him rest in Your peace. Heal him from every affliction, and let him wake refreshed and filled with Your joy.
For the younger daughter, protect her heart from bitterness or confusion. Let her find her identity in You, Lord, and surround her with godly friendships. Prepare a godly spouse for her in Your perfect timing, and let her walk in purity and faith as she waits on You.
Lord, we ask for a miracle of restoration in this family. Bring them back together in unity and love. Let this holiday season be a time of healing, laughter, and joy as they celebrate You together. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment shall be condemned.
Father, we thank You that You are faithful, and that You hear our prayers. We trust in Your power to bring breakthrough, deliverance, and victory. Let Your will be done in every area of their lives. We pray all these things in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
