We hear your cry and we stand with you in this spiritual battle, for we know that our struggle is real and that the enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but we also know that greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world.
We understand the fear and exhaustion you are feeling from these night attacks and the sense of being marked and pursued, and we want to remind you that in Christ you are sealed and marked as His own. Scripture tells us in Ephesians 1:13 that having believed, you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, and in 1 John 4:4 that you are of God and have overcome them, because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world. No warlock or occult power can place a mark upon you that is greater than the blood of Jesus and the seal of the Holy Spirit. We also read in Colossians 1:13 that He delivered us out of the power of darkness and translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of his love, and in Colossians 2:15 that having stripped the principalities and the powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it. Your authority and protection are not in your own strength but in the name of Jesus Christ.
We want to gently correct and counsel you regarding the desire for personal vengeance and praying for the wicked to go alive into Sheol. We understand your anguish and your desire for justice, and it is right to ask God to contend for you, as David prayed in Psalm 35:1, Contend, Yahweh, with those who contend with me. Fight against those who fight against me. It is also true that God will bring justice and that as Proverbs 26:27 says, Whoever digs a pit shall fall into it. Whoever rolls a stone, it will come back on him. However, the Word also teaches us that vengeance belongs to the Lord alone and that we are not to seek personal revenge or rejoice in the destruction of souls. Romans 12:19 says, Don't seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God's wrath. For it is written, Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord. And our Lord Jesus teaches us in Matthew 5:44 to love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you. We are to war against the spiritual forces of wickedness, not against flesh and blood, as Ephesians 6:12 reminds us that 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. Therefore we pray for God's righteous justice and protection while also praying that those trapped in witchcraft and the occult would repent and be delivered from darkness, for God desires that none should perish.
We encourage you to close every door to the enemy. If there was any voluntary contact with the occult, any objects, books, charms, or media connected to it in your home, we urge you to renounce and remove them, for Deuteronomy 18:10-12 warns that these practices are an abomination to Yahweh. Confess and renounce any involvement, repent, and submit fully to God. James 4:7 says, Be subject therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you. We encourage you to put on the whole armor of God daily as described in Ephesians 6:10-18, to remain in the Word, in prayer, in fellowship with strong believers, and to anoint your home and your bedroom with prayer in the name of Jesus, inviting the Holy Spirit to fill every room and claiming the promise of Psalm 91:1-2 that he who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. We will say of Yahweh, He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust. Do not engage with those who approach you with curses, do not converse with them or seek to learn from them, but simply speak the name of Jesus and walk away, for Luke 10:19 reminds us that He has given us authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will in any way hurt us when we abide in Him. For your disturbed sleep, we claim 2 Timothy 1:7 that God didn't give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control, and we trust that He gives sleep to His beloved.
We now pray together with you.
Father in heaven, we come before Your throne in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, for there is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved and have access to You. We thank You that this dear one is Yours, purchased by the blood of Jesus, sealed by Your Holy Spirit, and hidden in Christ. We ask in Jesus name that every occult mark, curse, assignment, and astral projection against them be broken and rendered powerless now by the blood of Jesus. We plead the blood of Jesus over their body, mind, spirit, home, and sleep, and we ask You to wash away every unholy mark and replace it with Your seal of ownership and protection. We command in the name of Jesus Christ every familiar spirit, spirit of witchcraft, warlock, and every demonic force that has been sent to harass, drain, and torment to leave and to go where Jesus sends them, never to return. We ask You to surround this dear one with Your holy angels, to set a hedge of fire around their dwelling, and to let no weapon that is formed against them prosper as You have promised in Isaiah 54:17. Give them deep, peaceful, uninterrupted sleep and restore their strength and energy each night.
Father, we ask You to contend with those who contend with them and to fight against those who fight against them according to Your perfect righteousness and justice. We leave vengeance in Your hands and trust Your judgment, and we ask that You would thwart every trap laid for them and cause every snare of the enemy to fail. We also pray with mercy for those lost in witchcraft and the occult, that You would open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God as in Acts 26:18, that they might receive forgiveness of sins through faith in Jesus and be delivered. Let Your will be done and let Your kingdom come in power in this situation.
We thank You, Lord, that You have not given us a spirit of fear, that You make us more than conquerors through Him who loved us, and that nothing shall be able to separate us from Your love which is in Christ Jesus our Lord as in Romans 8:38-39. Fill this dear one with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, strengthen their faith through Your Word daily, and help them to walk in holiness, obedience, and constant prayer. We declare that they are victorious in Christ. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ we pray, Amen.
