We come before the Lord with heavy yet hopeful hearts, lifting you up in fervent prayer, for we know that nothing is impossible with God. Your struggle is deep, but we serve a Savior who is deeper still—Jesus Christ, the Name above all names, the only One through whom salvation and true healing come. It is only in His name that we can approach the throne of grace, and we are grateful you have reached out for prayer, though we must lovingly address a critical truth: there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so now, for He alone breaks the chains of darkness and sets the captive free. "If you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved" (Romans 10:9). Without this foundation, no prayer for deliverance can stand, for it is Christ who gives us authority over the enemy.
Your diagnosis of schizophrenia is a heavy burden, and we pray for God’s comfort and wisdom for you and those who care for you. Medicine and professional help are gifts from God, and we encourage you to seek treatment while also trusting in the Lord’s sovereign healing power. Yet we must also address with urgency the spiritual battle you are facing. The entity you describe is not a "goddess" from Hinduism or any other religion—it is a deceiving spirit, a demonic force that seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). The Bible is clear: there is only one true God, and all other so-called "gods" are idols, demons masquerading as divine (1 Corinthians 10:20-21). This spirit’s claim to be of "highest rank" is a lie from the pit of hell, for Satan himself is a created being, already defeated by the blood of Jesus (Colossians 2:15). You are not its home, and in Christ, you have the authority to command it to leave.
The Word of God is your sword in this battle. We declare over you the truth of Psalm 34:17-19: "The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but Yahweh delivers him out of them all." We also stand on James 4:7: "Be subject therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you." This is not a passive resistance but an active, faith-filled command in the name of Jesus. The spirit in you is trembling now, for it knows its time is short. We bind it in the name of Jesus and command it to leave you, never to return, for "greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world" (1 John 4:4).
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You that You are the God of all comfort, the Healer of the broken, and the Deliverer of the oppressed. Lord, we lift up our brother/sister who is battling both the physical and spiritual torment of schizophrenia and demonic oppression. Father, we ask first and foremost that if they have not already, they would surrender their life fully to Jesus Christ, repenting of any sin, idolatry, or openness to false religions. Wash them clean by the blood of the Lamb and fill them with Your Holy Spirit, sealing them as Your child forever.
Lord, we rebuke the spirit that has tormented them, the lying spirit that claims to be a "goddess." We expose it as a fraud, a demonic force sent to deceive and destroy. In the name of Jesus, we command this spirit to leave now. We break every legal right it claims, every curse, every generational stronghold, and every doorway that was opened through sin, trauma, or false worship. By the authority of Jesus Christ, we cast this spirit out and command it to go to the dry places, never to return. Fill the void it leaves with Your Holy Spirit, Lord, and restore this precious soul to wholeness.
Father, we also pray for healing from schizophrenia. You are Jehovah-Rapha, the God who heals. We ask for wisdom for doctors, for the right medications, and for supernatural peace to guard their mind and heart. Let them experience Your presence as a tangible reality, stronger than any voice or hallucination. Surround them with believers who will stand in the gap, pray without ceasing, and speak life over them.
Lord, we declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Let them walk in the freedom Christ purchased on the cross. Break every chain of fear, confusion, and despair. Replace it with the peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Let them know they are not alone, for You are with them, and Your people are standing with them in this fight.
We thank You, Father, for the victory that is already won. We trust in Your power, Your love, and Your faithfulness. May this brother/sister emerge from this battle stronger, rooted in Your Word, and walking in the fullness of Your freedom. We ask all this in the mighty, matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Brother/sister, we urge you to immerse yourself in the Word of God daily. Read Psalm 91 aloud as a declaration of protection. Listen to worship music that exalts Jesus, and fill your mind with truth. If you have engaged in any practices tied to Hinduism, New Age, or the occult—even unknowingly—renounce them now in the name of Jesus. Burn any related objects, and ask the Lord to cleanse your home. Surround yourself with mature believers who can pray with you and hold you accountable.
If you are not already part of a Bible-believing church, we strongly encourage you to find one. Isolation is the enemy’s playground, but in community, you will find strength. If you are struggling to believe or feel overwhelmed, cry out to Jesus as the father of the demon-possessed boy did: "I believe! Help my unbelief!" (Mark 9:24). He will meet you there.
Lastly, guard your mind. The enemy will try to retaliate with fear or doubt, but "God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control" (2 Timothy 1:7). When the voice speaks, rebuke it in Jesus’ name and replace its lies with Scripture. You are a child of God, redeemed, loved, and sealed by His Spirit. Walk in that truth. We are standing with you, and greater is He who is in you!
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have. God bless me to prosper, walk in excellent health, and never stop growing in the love, grace, and knowledge of Christ Jesus. God bless me to know You in truth, fall in love with You with all my heart, mind, soul, body, and strength and never fall out of love with You. Bless me to have an ever growing closer stronger, more intimate relationship with You. Bless me with the love, desire, strength, and the spirit of obedience to always delight myself in You, seek first Your kingdom, Your righteousness, and to always respect and obey You. Bless me to trust You with all my heart, acknowledge You in all my ways, and lean not to my own understanding.
