We come before the throne of grace with heavy yet hopeful hearts, lifting up your son’s suffering and the spiritual battles at play. The persistent physical ailments he faces—stomach pain, headaches, and nausea—without medical explanation are deeply concerning, especially given the spiritual darkness tied to his children’s mother and her family. The Bible is clear about the reality of spiritual warfare and the power of witchcraft as an abomination to the Lord. Deuteronomy 18:10-12 warns, *"There shall not be found with you anyone who makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who practices sorcery, one who interprets omens, one who is a sorcerer, one who casts spells, one who consults a familiar spirit, one who is a wizard, or one who consults the dead. For whoever does these things is an abomination to Yahweh."* This is not a battle against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers of darkness (Ephesians 6:12), and we must stand firm in the authority of Christ.
First, we praise you for your faithfulness in prayer and for seeking godly support—there is indeed strength in numbers when the body of Christ unites in intercession (Matthew 18:19-20). Your son’s situation is a stark reminder that we wrestle not only with physical afflictions but with spiritual forces that seek to harm, steal, and destroy (John 10:10). Yet our God is greater, and His power to heal and deliver is absolute. James 5:14-16 calls us to pray for the sick and anoint them in faith, confessing sins and trusting in the Lord’s healing hand. While we do not know if your son has unconfessed sin, we encourage him—and you—to examine his heart before the Lord, repenting of anything that may give the enemy a foothold (Ephesians 4:27). Even unintentional sin or generational curses can open doors to affliction, but Christ has broken every curse on the cross (Galatians 3:13).
We must also address the grave danger of your son’s continued connection to this woman and her family. Though he is no longer in a relationship with her, the fact that she and her mother practice witchcraft—and have openly boasted of harming others—means this is not merely a custody arrangement but a spiritual minefield. 2 Corinthians 6:14-17 commands, *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness? ... Therefore come out from among them, and be separate, says the Lord. Don’t touch the unclean thing."* While we understand the desire to maintain a relationship with his daughters, we urge extreme caution. If this woman’s animosity is rooted in spiritual darkness, every interaction with her or her family risks exposing your son—and potentially his current wife—to further attack. We strongly encourage you to seek wise, biblical counsel on how to navigate this situation, possibly limiting contact or ensuring spiritual protection (such as prayer coverings) during any necessary interactions. Proverbs 22:3 warns, *"A prudent man sees danger and hides himself; but the simple pass on, and suffer for it."*
As for your son’s current marriage, we rejoice that he is with a godly woman, and we pray for God’s protection and blessing over their union. A marriage rooted in Christ is a refuge against the storms of the enemy (Ecclesiastes 4:12). We encourage your son and his wife to stand together in prayer, covering their home and family in the blood of Jesus, and to seek pastoral guidance if they haven’t already. Unity in Christ is their strongest defense.
Now, let us pray with authority and faith:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, the Name above all names by which every knee must bow (Philippians 2:10). We lift up this precious son to You, asking for Your healing touch upon his body. Lord, You are Jehovah-Rapha, the God who heals (Exodus 15:26). We rebuked every spirit of infirmity, every curse, every hex, and every demonic assignment against his health in Jesus’ name. If there has been any witchcraft, divination, or spiritual attack directed at him, we command it to be broken and rendered powerless by the blood of Jesus. Let every plan of the enemy against him be exposed and destroyed (Job 5:12).
Father, we ask You to cleanse him from any ungodly ties, generational curses, or spiritual defilement that may have come through his past relationship with this woman or her family. Wash him in the blood of the Lamb and restore him to full health—body, soul, and spirit. Let Your healing power flow through him, removing every pain, every headache, every wave of nausea, and restoring him to wholeness. We declare by faith that he is healed, for by Your stripes, we *are* healed (Isaiah 53:5).
Lord, we also pray for wisdom and discernment for him and his wife as they navigate the challenges of co-parenting with a woman entangled in darkness. Give them Your strategy, Father, so they may protect their home and their marriage from any spiritual contamination. Surround them with Your angels, encamping around them (Psalm 34:7), and let no weapon formed against them prosper (Isaiah 54:17). If there are legal or practical steps they can take to minimize contact with this woman while still honoring their responsibilities as parents, reveal them clearly, Lord.
We pray for the salvation of this woman and her mother, that their eyes would be opened to the truth of the Gospel and the destruction of their practices. Break the chains of darkness in their lives, Lord, and draw them to repentance (2 Timothy 2:25-26). Let them encounter the living God in a way that leaves no room for doubt—You alone are the true and living God, and all other powers are false and fleeting.
Finally, Father, we ask for Your peace and strength for this mother who has carried this burden for so long. Renew her faith, Lord, and let her see Your hand moving mightily in this situation. Fill her with Your joy and hope as she continues to intercede for her son.
We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayers and for the victory that is already won through Christ Jesus. We trust in Your timing and Your ways, knowing that You are working all things together for good (Romans 8:28). In the powerful name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
Stand firm in faith, dear sister. Do not grow weary in praying, for the Lord is faithful (1 Thessalonians 5:17). Keep covering your son in prayer, speaking life and healing over him, and trust that God is fighting this battle on his behalf. If your son is not already walking closely with the Lord, encourage him to surrender every area of his life to Christ—this is his greatest protection. And if he or his wife have not been filled with the Holy Spirit, now is the time to seek that empowerment for the battles ahead (Acts 1:8).
We will continue to lift this situation up in prayer. May the Lord grant you all His peace that surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:7).
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.
