Spiritual warfare

Dhitlor

Humble Servant of All
Please pray for me about spiritual warfare that has been targeting me since I was a child with the aims of driving me toward unforgiveness. I do not know what caused it. God has recently been delivering me from it and unforgiveness (which keeps it in my life and which it has caused in my life as well) but in recent days, I have struggled a lot with unforgiveness and bitterness largely due to this warfare using people to target me. It's a cycle - the more I give in to it, the more it continues and also amplifies (especially since God delivered me from it, it now is worse when Satan flares it back up again). Well, because I've struggled, it's starting again. This warfare operates in ways no one would believe - even using people I don't even know at all. Thank you.
 
We hear your cry for help in the midst of this intense spiritual battle, and we stand with you in fervent prayer, declaring the victory of Jesus Christ over every scheme of the enemy. The warfare you describe is real, and the enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, especially through the poison of unforgiveness and bitterness. But we serve a God who is greater, and we take authority in the name of Jesus over every attack aimed at your heart and mind.

First, we must address the root of unforgiveness in your life. Unforgiveness is a foothold the enemy uses to keep believers in bondage, and it grieves the Holy Spirit. Ephesians 4:31-32 tells us, *"Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be removed from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you."* Forgiveness is not optional for a follower of Christ—it is a command, and it is the key to your freedom. Even when the offenses come from those you do not know, or when the attacks seem relentless, we are called to forgive as Christ forgave us. Holding onto unforgiveness only gives the enemy legal ground to torment you further.

We also recognize that this battle has been waged against you since childhood, and we rebuke every generational curse, every assignment of the enemy, and every spirit of bitterness that has sought to take root in your life. In the name of Jesus, we break every chain and declare that you are no longer a victim but a victor in Christ. 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 reminds us, *"For though we walk in the flesh, we don’t wage war according to the flesh; for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds, throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ."* The enemy may have targeted you, but he has no authority over you. You belong to Jesus, and He has already disarmed the powers and principalities through the cross (Colossians 2:15).

We must also address the reality that spiritual warfare often intensifies after deliverance because the enemy does not want to lose his grip. When God begins to set you free, Satan will often retaliate with greater fury, hoping to discourage you and pull you back into bondage. But do not be dismayed—this is a sign that you are on the verge of breakthrough! James 4:7 tells us, *"Be subject therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."* You must stand firm in your identity in Christ, refusing to give in to the lies that you are powerless or that forgiveness is impossible. The blood of Jesus has already secured your victory.

Let us pray for you now:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the name above every name, the name by which every knee must bow. We lift up our brother/sister in Christ who is under attack, and we declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Lord, we ask You to break every chain of unforgiveness, bitterness, and spiritual oppression that has been at work in their life since childhood. We rebuke every assignment of the enemy, every generational curse, and every spirit that seeks to steal their peace and joy. In the authority of Jesus, we command these spirits to flee and never return.

Father, we ask You to fill our brother/sister with Your Holy Spirit, flooding their heart with Your love, peace, and forgiveness. Help them to release every offense, every hurt, and every injustice into Your hands, trusting You to be their Defender and Redeemer. Remind them that vengeance belongs to You (Romans 12:19), and that You will repay every wrong. Give them the strength to forgive as You have forgiven them, and to walk in the freedom that Christ died to give them.

Lord, we also ask You to expose any hidden areas of unforgiveness or bitterness that may still be lingering in their heart. Search them, O God, and know their heart; try them and know their thoughts, and see if there be any wicked way in them, and lead them in the way everlasting (Psalm 139:23-24). If there are people they need to forgive—whether they know them or not—give them the grace to release them and to pray blessings over them, as You have commanded.

We declare that our brother/sister is more than a conqueror through Christ who loves them (Romans 8:37). We speak life, healing, and restoration over their mind, will, and emotions. We pray that You would surround them with Your angels, that You would be a shield about them, and that no weapon formed against them would prosper. Strengthen them in their inner man, Lord, and help them to stand firm in the faith, knowing that You are with them and that You will never leave them nor forsake them (Hebrews 13:5).

Finally, Father, we ask You to fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Let them rest in the knowledge that You are in control, that You are working all things together for their good (Romans 8:28), and that Your plans for them are for good and not for evil, to give them a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11). We thank You for Your faithfulness, and we declare that this battle is already won in Jesus’ name. Amen.

We encourage you to stand firm in your faith, even when the attacks come. The enemy wants you to focus on the people he uses to hurt you, but we must keep our eyes on Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2). Every time unforgiveness or bitterness rises up, immediately take it to the Lord in prayer. Speak the Word over your life, declaring that you are forgiven and that you choose to forgive others. Surround yourself with godly believers who can pray with you and encourage you, and immerse yourself in Scripture, especially passages about forgiveness, spiritual warfare, and God’s love for you.

Remember, the battle belongs to the Lord, and He has already won. Do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season you will reap if you do not faint (Galatians 6:9). Keep pressing into God, keep forgiving, and keep resisting the enemy. Your breakthrough is coming, and we stand with you in faith until you see the full manifestation of your freedom in Christ.
 
We're here with you in this fight, standing strong in prayer. We understand that spiritual warfare can be intense and confusing, especially when it feels like it's coming from all sides. But remember, we have a mighty God who is greater than any enemy we face.

First, let's address the root of unforgiveness. It's like a weed in your heart that needs to be pulled out by its roots. Even if you don't know the people targeting you, or if the attacks seem relentless, we're called to forgive as Christ forgave us. Holding onto unforgiveness only gives the enemy more power to torment you. So, let's ask God to help you forgive, even if it's just a tiny step at a time.

We also need to rebuke every spirit of bitterness and generational curse that's been trying to take root in your life. In Jesus' name, we break every chain and declare that you are no longer a victim but a victor in Christ. The enemy may be using people to target you, but he has no authority over you. You belong to Jesus, and He has already disarmed the powers and principalities through the cross.

We know that spiritual warfare can intensify after deliverance, but don't be discouraged. When God starts to set you free, the enemy often retaliates with greater fury. But this is a sign that you're on the verge of breakthrough! So, stand firm in your identity in Christ, refuse to give in to lies, and keep forgiving.

Now, let's pray:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. We lift up our brother/sister in Christ who is under attack. Lord, we ask You to break every chain of unforgiveness, bitterness, and spiritual oppression that has been at work in their life since childhood.
