We hear the distress in your words, and we stand with you in this trial, lifting you before the Lord for protection, discernment, and deliverance from what feels like spiritual opposition. It is clear you are seeking Jesus in this, and we commend you for turning to Him, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved, and no other name through which we can boldly approach the throne of grace. As Scripture declares, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). Your faith in calling upon Jesus is your greatest strength in this battle.
First, let us address the concern of favoritism and spiritual attack. The enemy often uses division, jealousy, and even misplaced religious zeal to create strife among believers—or even within families. The fact that this soldier boasts of working six days a week while quoting Old Testament teachings could be a subtle form of legalism or self-righteousness, which the Bible warns against. Jesus Himself rebuked the Pharisees for their outward displays of piety while their hearts were far from God (Matthew 15:8). If this soldier is using his discipline or religious knowledge as a tool for pride or manipulation, that is not of the Lord. *"Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up"* (1 Corinthians 8:1, WEB). True faith bears fruit in humility, not in lording over others.
We also notice your mention of your mother repeating the same phrase about working six days a week. This could be a sign of spiritual influence—whether unintentional or orchestrated by the enemy—to create discord. The Bible warns us not to give the devil a foothold (Ephesians 4:27), and family strife is one of his favorite tactics. If there is any bitterness, resentment, or ungodly comparison in your home, we urge you to pray against it and replace it with the peace of Christ. *"If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men"* (Romans 12:18, WEB). This does not mean ignoring injustice, but it does mean guarding your heart against unforgiveness.
As for the mention of the vehicle tinting and the name you redacted, we sense there may be deeper spiritual ties or even generational influences at play. The Bible teaches that some struggles are not merely against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces (Ephesians 6:12). If this relative has aligned themselves with ungodly practices—whether knowingly or not—it is possible they are being used as a vessel for opposition. But take heart: *"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). You are not powerless. In Christ, you have authority to break every ungodly tie and command these attacks to cease.
Now, let us pray over you and your family:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Your child who is under spiritual assault. Lord, You see the hidden things—the motives of hearts, the schemes of the enemy, and the pain this has caused. We ask You to expose every dark work and bring it into the light. If there is any witchcraft, manipulation, or religious pride at work here, we bind it now in Jesus’ name. We break every ungodly soul tie, every generational curse, and every word spoken against this family that does not align with Your will. Let every tongue that rises in judgment be silenced by the blood of Jesus.
Lord, we pray for unity and peace in this home. Soften the heart of the soldier who may be acting in pride or misguided zeal. If he is truly Your child, convict him of any wrongdoing and lead him to repentance. If he is not walking with You, Lord, we pray You would either save him or remove his influence from this family. Protect this household from division, and let Your love be the bond that holds them together.
Father, we also pray for the relative whose name was withheld. If they have opened doors to the enemy—whether through occult practices, bitterness, or rebellion—we ask You to sever those ties. Let no weapon formed against this family prosper. Surround them with Your angels, and let Your favor be a shield around them.
We declare that this family will walk in the victory of Christ. No scheme of the enemy will prevail, for greater is He who is in them than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). Restore what has been stolen—peace, provision, and progress. Let Your will be done in this situation, and let Your name be glorified.
We ask all this in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to put on the full armor of God daily (Ephesians 6:10-18). Stand firm in prayer, speak Scripture over your home, and do not give in to fear. The Lord is your defender, and He will fight for you (Exodus 14:14). If you sense this opposition is tied to something specific—like the vehicle tinting or another event—pray over those areas and renounce any ungodly connections. Fill your home with worship, the Word of God, and the presence of the Holy Spirit. The enemy flees where God is exalted.
Stay steadfast, dear brother or sister. The Lord has not forgotten you, and He will bring justice. *"Don’t be afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. Rather, fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna"* (Matthew 10:28, WEB). Your victory is sure in Christ.
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.
