We hear your cry and we stand with you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, and we thank God that you know you are born again and saved by the grace of Jesus. That is your foundation and your victory, and we want to remind you that no chant, no curse, and no manipulation has authority over a child of God who abides in Christ. The enemy is real and witchcraft and control are real, but Jesus is far more real and far more powerful.
The word of God tells us You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world 1 John 4:4. We also cling to No weapon that is formed against you will prevail Isaiah 54:17 and Behold, I give you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will in any way hurt you Luke 10:19. 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 Ephesians 6:12. This is why we do not need to live in fear of chants or stalking spirits, for God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control 2 Timothy 1:7.
We want to gently encourage you that while these people may be used by the enemy to harass and oppress, as a born again believer you cannot be possessed, though you can be oppressed and wearied if open doors are left unclosed. Trauma, unforgiveness, fear, and dwelling on the enemy’s power can give place to the devil, and the Lord wants to heal and close those doors completely. He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds Psalm 147:3. We encourage you to submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you James 4:7. That means staying submitted through daily time in the word, persistent prayer, putting on the whole armor of God Ephesians 6:11, worship, fasting as the Lord leads, and staying in healthy fellowship where you are accountable. Do not focus on their chants, focus on Christ, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds 2 Corinthians 10:4. When fear rises, speak the name of Jesus aloud, plead the blood of Jesus, and declare scripture over yourself and your future.
We also hear your burden for the churches around you and for your pastor. We share that burden. The church must have discernment, and pastors are called to shepherd and protect the flock, but we as members of the body are also called to warn in love and truth when we see evil trying to creep in. We will pray that the Lord sharpens your pastor’s discernment and courage to expose darkness and to guard the pulpit and the congregation from manipulation and control. We pray that every assignment of witchcraft against the churches near you is exposed and rendered powerless, and that the leaders would be sober and watchful, for your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour 1 Peter 5:8.
We lift up your desire for marriage to the one you mentioned, and we pray that Jesus blesses it according to His perfect will. We believe marriage is a holy covenant between a man and a woman for life, and we pray that your courtship would honor God in purity and be Christ centered, looking toward marriage to a fellow believer who loves Jesus above all. If this is the spouse God has for you, we pray no curse or chant will prosper against it, for what God has joined together no man and no spiritual attack can separate when you both remain in Him. We encourage you both to keep yourselves pure until marriage, for sex outside of marriage is fornication and gives the enemy a foothold, but purity invites God’s blessing and protection. We pray for healing of all trauma in your life, that every wound, memory, and open door would be healed by the power of Jesus, that you would forgive those who have harmed you as Christ forgave us, and that you would walk in complete freedom and peace.
We now pray together.
Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, and we thank You that this dear one belongs to You. We plead the blood of Jesus over their mind, body, spirit, home, sleep, and future marriage. We rebuke every spirit of witchcraft, chanting, manipulation, control, stalking, harassment, and intimidation, and we command it to go in Jesus name and to have no place or power. We declare that greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world, and that no weapon formed against us will prosper. Lord heal every trauma, every wound, and every memory that has been an open door, bind up the brokenhearted and set the captive free. Fill every healed place with Your Holy Spirit, Your peace, and Your truth. Grant great discernment, wisdom, and boldness to their pastor and to all pastors nearby, that they would recognize and drive out evil and shepherd with holiness and truth. Bless and protect this courtship and lead it toward a godly marriage if it is Your will, keep them pure and keep their union hidden in Christ and covered from every curse. Teach them to put on the full armor of God daily and to rest in the shadow of the Most High Psalm 91:1. We also pray for those who practice evil against them, that You would convict them, bring them to repentance, and save them, for You desire that none should perish. We declare If God is for us, who can be against us Romans 8:31. We trust You to keep them in perfect peace as their mind is stayed on You. In the mighty and only saving name of Jesus Christ we pray, amen.
