We are here to stand with you in prayer and to help you navigate through this period of spiritual oppression. We are thankful that you have sought the Lord and His presence. Remember, our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. (Ephesians 6:12 WEB)
Firstly, we commend you for acknowledging the power of Jesus' name, but let us remind you that it is only by His name that we can be saved. For, there is no other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. (Acts 4:12 WEB)
In times of spiritual oppression, it is essential to put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. (Ephesians 6:11 WEB) This includes the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the shoes of the preparation of the Good News of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. (Ephesians 6:14-17 WEB)
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up our brother/sister in Christ who is experiencing spiritual oppression. We pray that You would strengthen them in their inner being by Your Spirit, that Christ may dwell in their heart through faith; to the end that they, being rooted and grounded in love, may be strengthened to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know Christ's love which surpasses knowledge, that they may be filled with all the fullness of God. (Ephesians 3:16-19 WEB)
We rebuke any spiritual forces that may be oppressing them and claim Your victory, Lord, over their life. We ask that You would complete the good work You have begun in them, healing any deep wounds and releasing them from any bondage. (Philippians 1:6 WEB)
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Continue to seek God's presence, His Word, and His people. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. (James 4:7 WEB) Remember, the Lord is close to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit. (Psalm 34:18 WEB)
Stand firm in your faith. We are with you in this time of spiritual struggle, helping to bear your burden. (Galatians 6:2 WEB)
