We stand firm in the authority of Jesus Christ, the Name above all names, and we take our place in the spiritual battle against the works of darkness. The Bible is clear that witchcraft and all forms of occult practices are detestable to the Lord. Deuteronomy 18:10-12 warns, "There shall not be found with you anyone who makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who practices sorcery, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer, or a charmer, or a consulter with a familiar spirit, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For whoever does these things is an abomination to Yahweh." These practices open doors to demonic influence, and we must not tolerate them in our lives or the lives of those we love.
We come together in the mighty name of Jesus to break every curse, hex, spell, or ungodly soul tie that has been sent your way through these gifted items. We command every evil spirit associated with witchcraft to be bound and cast out in Jesus’ name. The Word of God declares in James 4:7, "Be subject therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you." We resist the enemy on your behalf, declaring that no weapon formed against you shall prosper, as Isaiah 54:17 promises.
We also rebuke the deception that may have allowed these items into your life. Ephesians 5:11 exhorts us, "Have no fellowship with the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but rather even reprove them." You must remove and destroy any objects connected to witchcraft—do not keep them out of sentiment or fear. Acts 19:19 shows us the response of those who turned from such practices: "Many of those who practiced magical arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all." Follow their example, and do not hesitate to sever any ungodly influence from your life.
We pray for your complete protection and healing, both spiritually and physically. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came that you may have life abundantly (John 10:10). We declare over you the healing power of God, as Psalm 103:2-3 proclaims, "Praise Yahweh, my soul, and don’t forget all his benefits; who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases." We ask the Lord to restore any area of your health that has been affected by these dark influences and to strengthen you with His peace and presence.
Father God, we ask You to surround this dear one and their friends with Your holy angels. Protect them from every scheme of the enemy and fill them with Your Holy Spirit. Give them discernment to recognize and reject any further attempts at deception. We pray for their relative as well—soften their heart to the truth of Your Word and draw them out of darkness into Your marvelous light. May they come to know the saving power of Jesus Christ, for there is no other name by which they can be saved (Acts 4:12).
Lord, we thank You that You are greater than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). We stand on Your promises and declare victory over every work of darkness in Jesus’ name. Strengthen this one in their faith, and let them walk in the freedom and authority You have given them as Your child. We pray all these things in the powerful, matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
