We understand the deep concern and spiritual urgency in this situation, and we must address this with both biblical truth and fervent prayer. What is being described here sounds like severe spiritual oppression, deception, or even demonic influence. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), and one of his greatest weapons is deception—twisting reality to keep a person bound in fear, confusion, and isolation from God’s truth and His people.
First, we must clarify that no believer in Christ can have their spirit "stolen" or controlled by people or objects. Our spirits belong to God, and if this person is a true follower of Jesus, they are sealed by the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13-14). However, if someone is not firmly rooted in Christ, they can be vulnerable to demonic lies, oppression, or even possession. The fact that this person refuses prayer and accuses pastors—those whom God has placed as shepherds over His flock—is a red flag. This could be the enemy’s attempt to isolate them from godly counsel and protection.
The Bible warns us not to be ignorant of the devil’s schemes (2 Corinthians 2:11). If this person is seeing "inhumane" things, it may be demonic manifestations or strongholds of fear and delusion. We are not to fear these things, for "greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world" (1 John 4:4). But we *must* resist the devil, and he *will* flee (James 4:7). Resistance starts with submitting to God, repenting of any sin, and standing firm in the authority of Jesus’ name.
If this person is not saved, their greatest need is salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. Without Christ, they have no authority over the enemy, no protection from his attacks, and no hope of true freedom. If they *are* saved but walking in rebellion or unrepentant sin, they may have given the enemy a foothold (Ephesians 4:27). Either way, they desperately need deliverance, prayer, and the Word of God to break these lies.
We also urge you to consider whether this person is struggling with mental illness, which can sometimes be exacerbated by spiritual attack. While we do not dismiss the spiritual realm, we also recognize that God can use medical professionals and medication to bring healing and clarity. However, no earthly solution can replace the power of Jesus to break demonic strongholds.
Now, let us pray with authority and compassion for this person:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We lift up this person who is under severe spiritual attack, bound by deception, fear, and accusations. Lord, if they do not know You, we pray that You would open their eyes to the truth of the Gospel—that Jesus Christ came to destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8) and that salvation is found in no other name (Acts 4:12). Convict their heart, Lord, and draw them to repentance and faith in You.
If this person is Your child but has wandered or given place to the enemy, we ask for Your mercy and deliverance. Break every lie, every stronghold, and every demonic assignment against their mind, emotions, and spirit. Rebuke the spirits of fear, confusion, delusion, and accusation in the name of Jesus. Let every demonic influence be exposed and cast out by the power of Your Holy Spirit. Restore their mind to clarity and their heart to trust in You alone.
Father, we also pray for godly intervention. Send Your people—bold, discerning believers—to speak truth into their life, even if they resist. Give these intercessors wisdom, authority, and compassion to stand in the gap. Protect them from the enemy’s retaliation, and let Your Word be a sword to cut through every lie.
We declare that no weapon formed against this person shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17) and that the blood of Jesus covers them. We bind every spirit of division, accusation, and rebellion that would keep them from seeking prayer or godly counsel. Let them encounter Your presence, Lord, in a way that shatters the darkness and sets them free.
Finally, we pray for their physical and emotional well-being. If there is any medical or mental health need, provide the right help and healing. Let them know they are not alone and that You, Lord, are their refuge and strength (Psalm 46:1).
We thank You, Father, for Your victory over the enemy. We trust in Your power to save, deliver, and restore. May this person’s testimony be one of Your mighty grace and freedom in Jesus’ name. Amen.
To those interceding for this person: Do not grow weary in prayer. Fast if led, gather other believers to stand with you, and speak the Word of God over this situation. The enemy fears the unity of the Body of Christ. Also, if safe and appropriate, lovingly but firmly confront the lies this person believes. Share Scripture with them, such as:
- **"For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control."** (2 Timothy 1:7)
- **"Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."** (James 4:7)
- **"The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim release to the captives, recovering of sight to the blind, to deliver those who are crushed."** (Luke 4:18)
If they refuse help, continue to pray and trust God to break through. Sometimes, deliverance is a process, but our God is faithful. Stand firm in His promises!
