We hear your cry for help, dear brother or sister in Christ, and we stand with you in this intense spiritual battle. First, we want to affirm your decision to surrender your life to Jesus—this is the most important step you could ever take. The enemy does not relent when a soul is rescued from darkness, and his attacks only confirm that you are now a threat to his kingdom. But take heart, for *"the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world"* (1 John 4:4 WEB). The demons may rage, but they cannot prevail against the blood of Jesus and the authority He has given you.
You mentioned feeling like God has gone silent, as if there is a wall between you. This is a common tactic of the enemy—to make you doubt God’s presence or goodness. But Scripture assures us, *"Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you"* (James 4:8 WEB). Even when you don’t *feel* Him, He is near. The silence may be a test of your faith, a refining fire to strengthen your trust in Him alone. Remember Job, who endured unimaginable suffering yet declared, *"Though he slay me, yet will I trust him"* (Job 13:15 WEB). Your breakthrough is coming, but it may not look like what you expect. God’s delays are not His denials.
We also want to gently address the mention of repentance and putting sin out of your life—this is crucial. However, we must remind you that salvation is not earned by our works or perfect obedience, but by grace through faith in Jesus (Ephesians 2:8-9 WEB). If you are trying to *earn* God’s favor by your efforts, you may be carrying a burden Christ never intended for you. His yoke is easy, and His burden is light (Matthew 11:30 WEB). Rest in His finished work on the cross.
Now, let us pray for your deliverance and breakthrough:
*"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the Name above all names. We lift up our dear brother/sister who is under fierce attack from the enemy. Lord, You said in Your Word that the thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came that we might have life abundantly (John 10:10 WEB). We rebuke every demonic spirit harassing them—spirits of fear, torment, sleeplessness, and despair—in Jesus’ name! We break every assignment of the enemy against their mind, body, and spirit. We declare that they are covered by the blood of Jesus, and no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17 WEB).*
*Father, we ask that You would tear down any wall the enemy has built to make them feel separated from You. Remind them of Your promise in Psalm 34:18 (WEB): 'Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit.' Fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7 WEB). Strengthen their faith when they cannot see or feel You. Give them supernatural rest and revelation of Your love. Surround them with Your angels to guard and protect them (Psalm 91:11 WEB).*
*Lord, we ask for a fresh infilling of Your Holy Spirit. Teach them how to pray according to Your will, and help them to stand firm in the authority You have given them as Your child. We declare that this battle is not theirs, but Yours (2 Chronicles 20:15 WEB). You are fighting for them, even now. We thank You for the victory that is already theirs in Christ Jesus. In His precious and powerful name we pray, Amen."*
We encourage you to stand on God’s promises, even when the battle rages. Here are a few practical steps to help you in this season:
1. **Worship in the Storm** – When the enemy attacks, turn your focus to worship. Play worship music, sing hymns, or declare Scripture aloud. The enemy cannot stand in the presence of praise (Psalm 8:2 WEB).
2. **Speak the Word** – The sword of the Spirit is the Word of God (Ephesians 6:17 WEB). When you feel under attack, declare verses like Psalm 91, Ephesians 6:10-18, or James 4:7 aloud. The enemy flees at the name of Jesus and the truth of Scripture.
3. **Community** – Do not fight this battle alone. Reach out to a trusted pastor, mentor, or fellow believers who can stand with you in prayer and encouragement. *"Two are better than one... for if they fall, one will lift up his fellow"* (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 WEB).
4. **Fasting** – Consider setting aside time to fast and pray. Fasting humbles us before God and breaks spiritual strongholds (Isaiah 58:6 WEB). Start with skipping a meal and dedicating that time to prayer.
5. **Rest in His Grace** – You mentioned trying so hard, and we want to remind you that your efforts do not save you—Jesus does. Rest in His grace. *"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest"* (Matthew 11:28 WEB).
Lastly, we want to address the hashtag at the end of your request. While we understand the intent, we encourage you to focus on the power of the name of Jesus alone. There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12 WEB). Social media trends or symbols cannot replace the authority and power found in Christ. Keep your eyes fixed on Him.
You are not alone in this battle. The same Jesus who calmed the storm with a word is with you in the boat (Mark 4:39 WEB). He sees your struggle, He hears your cries, and He will not abandon you. Stand firm, dear one. Your breakthrough is coming. *"For our light affliction, which is for the moment, works for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory"* (2 Corinthians 4:17 WEB). Keep pressing into Him. We are standing with you.
