We come before the Lord with you in this heavy burden, lifting up your heartache, weariness, and the spiritual warfare you are facing. The enemy is at work through deception, manipulation, and even those who claim the name of Christ but live in darkness. Yet we know that greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). Let us first address the spiritual realities at play, for this is not merely a battle against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers (Ephesians 6:12).
The individuals scamming your mother—especially under the guise of Christianity—are engaging in grievous sin. They are not only defrauding her but attempting to lure her into emotional adultery, which is an abomination before God. The Lord detests such deception, and His Word is clear: *"Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord"* (Deuteronomy 18:10-12). The witchcraft you describe is real, but it is no match for the power of Jesus Christ. We must stand firmly on the authority of His name, for *"the Son of God was revealed for this purpose: to destroy the devil’s work"* (1 John 3:8). You have done well to block these individuals, report them, and confront them, but ultimately, this battle must be fought on our knees in prayer, clad in the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18).
We also address the painful reality of your sister’s refusal to stand with you. While her physical illness is valid, her repeated excuses—especially the claim of "protecting her peace"—ring hollow when a loved one is under spiritual and emotional attack. Scripture commands us to *"bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ"* (Galatians 6:2). Her inaction is not just a personal failure but a neglect of biblical love and loyalty. The narcissistic and abusive behavior you describe in her, her husband, and even your niece is deeply grievous. Such patterns are not of God, for *"love is patient, love is kind... it does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs"* (1 Corinthians 13:4-5). Their treatment of you is sinful, and we pray the Lord would either soften their hearts or, if necessary, create distance for your protection.
As for your mother, we urge you to continue praying for her discernment and strength. She must be reminded of her covenant with your father and the Lord’s design for marriage: *"Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers"* (Hebrews 13:4). If she has been drawn into emotional entanglements, she must repent and turn wholly back to her husband and to Christ. The enemy seeks to destroy families, but God is a restorer of broken things.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our sister who is weary, wounded, and under relentless attack. Lord, You see the schemes of the enemy—the deception, the witchcraft, the manipulation, and the betrayal. We ask You to *expose every hidden thing* and bring it into the light (Ephesians 5:11). Break the power of every curse, every spell, and every lie that has been spoken against her. Let the blood of Jesus Christ cover her, her home, and her family, rendering the enemy powerless.
Lord, we pray for supernatural protection over her mother. Close every door the enemy has tried to open in her life. If she has entertained sinful emotions or conversations, convict her by Your Holy Spirit and lead her to repentance. Restore her marriage, Lord, and let her find her fulfillment in You and her husband alone. Give her wisdom to recognize the wolves in sheep’s clothing and the strength to cut off all ungodly ties.
Father, we also lift up the painful betrayal from her sister. You command us to love one another, to stand with one another, and to defend the vulnerable. Yet she has turned away in selfishness. Lord, we ask that You either *radically transform her heart* or, if she refuses to repent, remove her influence from our sister’s life. Do not let her narcissism and abuse continue unchecked. If she will not be a source of support, then let her be rendered ineffective in causing harm. Surround our sister with godly allies who will stand in the gap for her.
We rebuke the spirit of witchcraft operating against her. Every curse sent her way, we send back to the sender in Jesus’ name. Every lie spoken over her, we declare null and void by the truth of God’s Word. Every plan of the enemy to isolate her, to make her doubt her sanity, or to turn others against her—we command it to *fail* in the name of Jesus. Let the truth prevail, Lord. Let every hidden agenda be exposed. Let those who have mocked her, scorned her, or dismissed her be put to shame.
Father, we ask for Your healing over the deep trauma this has caused. You are the God who binds up the brokenhearted (Psalm 147:3). Restore her joy, her peace, and her trust in You. Let her not grow bitter but let her find her strength in You alone. Give her the courage to keep speaking truth, even when no one believes her, for You are her vindicator.
Finally, Lord, we ask for justice. You are a God of justice, and You will not let the wicked go unpunished. *"The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Those who know Your name trust in You, for You, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek You"* (Psalm 9:9-10). Let her see Your hand moving on her behalf. Let her enemies be scattered. Let every weapon formed against her fail.
We thank You, Lord, that You are her shield, her defender, and her ever-present help. We trust You to fight this battle for her. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. **Amen.**
---
Our sister, we want to encourage you to keep standing firm. The fact that you are seeing spiritual attacks intensify when you take a stand is a sign that you are threatening the enemy’s plans. Do not back down. Keep praying, keep speaking truth, and keep trusting God to vindicate you. *"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 the Lord’s servants, and their righteousness is from Me," declares the Lord* (Isaiah 54:17).
As for your sister, release her to the Lord. You cannot force her to act righteously, but you can trust God to deal with her heart. Focus on your own walk with Christ—stay in the Word, stay in prayer, and surround yourself with believers who will stand with you. If your family refuses to listen, then lean on the body of Christ. You are not alone.
Lastly, if you have not already, we strongly urge you to seek godly, biblical counseling. The trauma you’ve endured is real, and you need support to walk through it in a healthy way. The Lord does not intend for you to carry this alone.
Keep fighting the good fight. The Lord is with you.
