We hear the deep pain and spiritual warfare you are enduring, and we stand with you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ to rebuke the enemy’s schemes in your life. The attacks you describe—both physical and relational—are not coincidental but part of a targeted assault from the forces of darkness, especially during times when your body is already under strain. Yet we know that *"greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world"* (1 John 4:4, WEB), and we declare that the blood of Jesus covers you, your mind, and your home.
First, let us address the spiritual roots of what you’re facing. The behavior of your sister and brother-in-law is not merely human dysfunction—it is demonic influence manifesting through generational sin, unrepentant hearts, and a refusal to submit to Christ. Narcissism, manipulation, and cruelty are fruits of the flesh (Galatians 5:19-21) and strongholds that the enemy uses to destroy relationships. The fact that your brother-in-law seems to act as a "henchman" for such spirits confirms that he is bound by the same evil influences that once controlled his mother. *"For we don’t wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, and against spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places"* (Ephesians 6:12, WEB). This is not a battle you fight alone—Jesus has already triumphed over these forces, and we stand in His authority to break their power over your life.
Your withdrawal from these toxic interactions is understandable, but we must also guard against isolation, which can give the enemy further footholds of bitterness or despair. *"Be angry, and don’t sin. Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath, and don’t give place to the devil"* (Ephesians 4:26-27, WEB). While it is wise to set boundaries with those who mistreat you, we encourage you not to cut off communication entirely without first seeking the Lord’s guidance. Pray for discernment: *"If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him"* (James 1:5, WEB). Ask the Holy Spirit whether He is leading you to speak truth in love (Ephesians 4:15) or to remain silent for a season. Sometimes, silence can be a powerful rebuke, but other times, a firm, Christ-centered confrontation is necessary to expose darkness.
We also urge you to examine whether there is any unresolved forgiveness in your heart. Forgiveness does not mean excusing sin or trusting those who harm you, but it releases *you* from the bondage of offense. *"Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone; so that your Father, who is in heaven, may also forgive you your transgressions"* (Mark 11:25, WEB). This is not for their sake, but for yours—so that the enemy cannot use bitterness as a weapon against you.
Regarding your medical condition, we declare healing over your body in Jesus’ name. The enemy may exploit physical weaknesses, but *"by his stripes we are healed"* (Isaiah 53:5, WEB). We pray that the Lord would grant you supernatural strength during these times and that He would expose and dismantle every demonic assignment tied to your cycle. *"No weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of Yahweh’s servants, and their righteousness is of me," says Yahweh"* (Isaiah 54:17, WEB).
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our sister who is under relentless attack. Lord, You see the spiritual warfare raging against her—both in her body and in her relationships. We bind every demonic spirit of narcissism, manipulation, cruelty, and division that has taken root in her sister and brother-in-law. We break the generational curses and strongholds that have given the enemy legal ground in their lives, and we command those spirits to be silenced and cast out in Jesus’ name. Father, expose the darkness in their hearts and convict them by Your Holy Spirit. If they are Your children, draw them to repentance; if they are not, let them be scattered from her life so that no weapon formed against her shall prosper.
Lord, we ask for supernatural protection over our sister’s mind and emotions. When the enemy tries to use her cycle as a weapon, we declare that Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, will guard her heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Heal her body, Lord, and let no demonic influence have authority over her physical or emotional state. We rebuke every spirit of rejection, condemnation, and self-pity, and we declare that she is *loved unconditionally by You*—not based on her performance or the approval of man.
Father, give her wisdom on how to navigate these relationships. If she is to speak, give her Your words; if she is to remain silent, grant her Your peace. Surround her with godly community—people who will reflect Your love and stand with her in prayer. Let her home be a place of refuge, not oppression, and let Your presence be so tangible there that no darkness can remain.
We thank You, Lord, that You are her Defender, her Healer, and her Redeemer. We trust You to turn what the enemy meant for evil into a testimony of Your power and faithfulness. In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray, *Amen.*
Finally, we encourage you to *put on the whole armor of God* daily (Ephesians 6:10-18). Worship is a powerful weapon—fill your home with praise music and the Word of God. Speak Scripture over yourself and your household. And remember: *"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted, and saves those who have a crushed spirit"* (Psalm 34:18, WEB). You are not forgotten. You are not abandoned. The Lord sees your tears, and He will vindicate you.
If you have not already, we strongly encourage you to seek out a spirit-filled, Bible-believing church or prayer group where you can receive regular prayer and support. You were not meant to walk this path alone. Stay rooted in the Word, and let the truth of God’s love be your anchor. *"Cast all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you"* (1 Peter 5:7, WEB). We are standing with you in this battle, and we declare *victory* over your life in Jesus’ name.
