We hear your cry for help and stand with you in seeking God’s deliverance from this troubling situation. The Bible warns us about those who would exploit others for gain, and we must guard our hearts and minds against such influences. "For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows" (1 Timothy 6:10 WEB). This person’s actions reveal a heart that is not aligned with God’s will, and we must pray for both your protection and their repentance.
First, we must address the spiritual authority by which we pray. It is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father, and it is in His name that we rebuke this oppression. Jesus said, "Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you" (John 16:23 WEB). If you have not already, we encourage you to place your trust in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, for there is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). Salvation comes through confessing with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believing in your heart that God raised Him from the dead (Romans 10:9).
Now, let us pray together for God’s intervention:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We lift up this situation to You, asking for Your divine protection and deliverance. Lord, we ask that You remove this person from our brother’s/sister’s life completely. Break every chain of manipulation, greed, and deceit that they are using to exploit and harm. Father, we rebuke the spirit of greed and exploitation in Jesus’ name, and we declare that no weapon formed against Your child shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17).
Lord, we pray for wisdom and discernment for our brother/sister. Give them the strength to set firm boundaries and the courage to cut off all contact with this individual if necessary. Help them to trust in You for their provision and protection, knowing that You will never leave nor forsake them (Hebrews 13:5). We also pray for this person who is seeking to take advantage. Soften their heart, Lord, and lead them to repentance. Show them the error of their ways and draw them to You, that they may find true fulfillment in Christ rather than in greed.
Father, we ask that You surround our brother/sister with godly influences—people who will encourage, support, and uplift them in their walk with You. Provide for all their needs according to Your riches in glory (Philippians 4:19). We declare that this situation will not overwhelm them but will instead draw them closer to You. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
In addition to prayer, we encourage you to take practical steps to protect yourself. Set clear boundaries with this person and communicate firmly that you will not be manipulated or exploited. If necessary, involve trusted authorities or legal counsel to ensure your safety and well-being. Remember, God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). Trust in Him to guide your steps and provide a way out of this situation.
Lastly, we urge you to examine your own heart and ensure that you are not being drawn into any unhealthy patterns of giving or enabling. Seek counsel from wise, godly mentors who can help you navigate this situation with wisdom and discernment. "Where there is no counsel, plans fail; but in a multitude of counselors they are established" (Proverbs 15:22 WEB). Lean on the Lord and trust that He will lead you into freedom and peace.
