Renelda, we hear the deep anguish and spiritual warfare raging in your home, and we stand with you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ to rebuke the darkness that has taken root. The enemy has sought to divide your family, sow discord, and bring oppression through this man’s actions, but we declare that *no weapon formed against you shall prosper* (Isaiah 54:17, WEB). The Lord sees your suffering, and He is a God of justice who will not allow the wicked to triumph forever.
First, we must address the spiritual strongholds at work here. The behavior you describe—narcissism, gaslighting, jealousy, and the manipulation of your children—are not just human flaws but evidence of demonic influence. The Bible warns us that where envy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every evil practice (James 3:16, WEB). This man’s refusal to leave, his accusations, and his attempts to turn your children against you are tactics of the enemy to destroy your household. But we serve a God who *scatters the proud in the imagination of their hearts* (Luke 1:51, WEB). You are not powerless, Renelda, because *greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world* (1 John 4:4, WEB).
We also recognize the danger your nephew is facing. A child being targeted with such rage is a grievous injustice, and we rebuke the spirit of violence and deception operating through this man. The Bible commands us to *defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless* (Psalm 82:3, WEB), and we will not stand idle while the enemy seeks to harm him. Your nephew is under your care, and the Lord will honor your protection over him as you stand in faith.
Now, let us speak truth into your situation: **This man has no biblical right to remain in your home if he is not your husband.** The Scriptures are clear that a man and woman are to be united in marriage under God, and outside of that covenant, there is no obligation for cohabitation—especially when it brings harm. You have endured this for 22 years, but the Lord is saying, *Enough.* You have the authority, as the head of your household, to command this man to leave in the name of Jesus. If he refuses, you must take lawful action to remove him, trusting that God will make a way. Do not fear his threats or manipulation, for *God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control* (2 Timothy 1:7, WEB).
As for your children, we pray that the Lord will break the lies they have been fed and restore their hearts to you. The enemy has used their father to poison their minds, but *the truth will set them free* (John 8:32, WEB). You must continue to love them, speak life over them, and cover them in prayer. Do not retaliate in anger, but let your responses be seasoned with grace, knowing that God is fighting this battle for you.
Finally, we must address the absence of Jesus’ name in your request. There is *no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved* (Acts 4:12, WEB), and it is only through Christ that we have authority over the enemy. If you have not surrendered your life to Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so now. Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you *will be saved* (Romans 10:9, WEB). Without Him, we are powerless against the forces of darkness, but in Him, we are *more than conquerors* (Romans 8:37, WEB).

**Let us pray:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our sister ### and her household. Lord, You see the oppression, the division, and the spiritual warfare raging in her home, and we ask You to *rise up as a mighty warrior* (Zephaniah 3:17, WEB) on her behalf. We bind every demonic stronghold—spirits of jealousy, narcissism, deception, violence, and division—and we command them to leave this home *now* in Jesus’ name. No longer shall they have a foothold here.
Lord, we pray for ###’s children, that You would *remove the scales from their eyes* (2 Corinthians 4:4, WEB) and break the lies their father has spoken over them. Restore their minds, soften their hearts, and reunite this family in Your love. Protect her nephew from all harm, and let no weapon formed against him prosper. Surround him with Your angels, Lord, and let him know he is *fearfully and wonderfully made* (Psalm 139:14, WEB) by You.
Father, we speak directly to the man in ###’s home: **You have no right to be there.** Your time of influence is over. We command you, in the name of Jesus, to *depart from this household* (Matthew 10:11, WEB). If you refuse to leave peacefully, we pray that the Lord will *frustrate your plans* (Psalm 33:10, WEB) and expose your wickedness before all. Give ### the wisdom, strength, and legal means to remove him swiftly, Lord. Let no door remain open for his return.
We also pray for ###’s heart. Heal her from the wounds of gaslighting, betrayal, and exhaustion. Fill her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7, WEB), and let her know that *You are her defender* (Psalm 119:114, WEB). Give her discernment in every decision, and let her home become a place of *restoration, joy, and Your presence* once more.
Finally, Lord, if ### has not yet surrendered her life to You, we pray that today would be the day of her salvation. Let her know that *You are her refuge and strength* (Psalm 46:1, WEB), and that through Jesus, she has *authority to trample on serpents and scorpions* (Luke 10:19, WEB). Fill her with Your Holy Spirit, and let her walk in victory.
We declare that *this household belongs to You, Lord*, and no weapon of the enemy shall prosper here. Let Your will be done, and let Your glory be revealed. In the powerful name of Jesus Christ, we pray. **Amen.**

###, you are not alone in this fight. The Lord is with you, and He will *never leave you nor forsake you* (Deuteronomy 31:6, WEB). Begin declaring Scripture over your home daily—out loud. Play worship music to fill the atmosphere with God’s presence. Fast and pray, seeking the Lord’s direction for every step. If you need wise counsel, seek out a biblical, Spirit-filled church or pastor who can support you in this season.
Stay strong, sister. The battle is fierce, but *the victory is already won* in Christ. We are standing with you in prayer. Keep us updated, and let us know how the Lord moves in your situation. You are *more than a conqueror* through Him who loves you (Romans 8:37, WEB).
