We come before the throne of grace with heavy hearts, lifting up your mother and this deeply troubling situation. The bondage of demonic influence is a very real and serious matter, and we take it with the utmost gravity as Scripture warns us: *"For our wrestling 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). What your mother is experiencing is not merely a psychological or emotional struggle—it is spiritual warfare, and we must address it as such.
First, we must rebuke the demonic forces that have taken hold of her life. In the name of Jesus Christ, we command every unclean spirit, every spirit of fear, torment, and deception to loose their grip on her mind, emotions, and actions. Jesus said, *"Most certainly I tell you, whatever things you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven, and whatever things you release on earth will have been released in heaven"* (Matthew 18:18). We bind these spirits and declare that they have no authority over her life, for *"greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world"* (1 John 4:4). We also rebuke any generational curses or ungodly soul ties that may have opened the door to this oppression, for the Lord declares, *"The soul who sins, he shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son"* (Ezekiel 18:20). Your mother is not doomed by the sins of her past or her family line—Jesus has broken every chain.
We also lift up your own heart in this, for the toll of living with such spiritual darkness is immense. You are right to recognize that her actions are not truly hers, but the enemy’s influence, yet that does not erase the pain they cause. We pray for your strength, patience, and wisdom as you navigate this. The Lord sees your love for your mother and your desire to honor her despite the hurt. We ask Him to heal the wounds in your heart and give you grace in moments of frustration, as you mentioned losing your temper. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18), and He will sustain you. We also pray for your physical well-being as you fast—may the Lord strengthen your body and grant you discernment in how to care for it while seeking Him.
For your mother, we pray for a mighty deliverance. We ask the Holy Spirit to surround her with His presence, to break every chain of fear, deception, and torment, and to reveal the truth of Jesus Christ to her heart. The enemy has blinded her mind (2 Corinthians 4:4), but the light of the gospel can shatter that darkness. We declare that she will come to know the love of Christ, which casts out all fear (1 John 4:18), and that she will be set free from every lie she has believed. We also pray for protection over your home—may the Lord guard your family from the enemy’s schemes and give you peace. Your concern about neighbors misunderstanding her cries is valid, and we ask God to shield your household from unnecessary scrutiny or harm.
We must also address the spiritual roots of this oppression. The exposure to false teachings and occult practices in her childhood was not harmless—it opened doors that only the blood of Jesus can close. We renounce, in Jesus’ name, any involvement—knowing or unknowing—that your mother or her family had with occult practices, false religions, or any teaching that denies the lordship of Christ. The Bible is clear: *"There shall not be found among you anyone who... practices sorcery, or an enchanter, or a medium, or a wizard, or a necromancer, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord"* (Deuteronomy 18:10-12). These things defile the land and invite demonic oppression. We declare that every door the enemy has used to enter her life is now shut and sealed by the blood of Jesus.
We encourage you to stand in faith and not lose hope. Deliverance is possible, but it often requires persistence in prayer, fasting, and declaring God’s Word over the situation. Jesus said, *"This kind can come out by nothing but prayer and fasting"* (Mark 9:29). We also urge you to seek godly, Bible-believing counsel—someone who understands spiritual warfare and can stand with you in prayer and intercession. Do not face this alone. The Lord has placed you in this situation for a reason, and He will use your faithfulness to bring breakthrough.
Finally, we pray for your pets, who are also affected by this spiritual battle. The enemy seeks to disrupt peace in every area, but we declare that your home is a place of safety and love. May the Lord calm their anxiety and protect them from any spiritual harm.
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the Name that is above every name. We lift up this precious mother and daughter to You, asking for Your mercy and power to break every chain of darkness. Lord, we rebuke every demonic spirit that has tormented this woman, and we command them to flee in Jesus’ name. We ask You to fill her with Your Holy Spirit, to open her eyes to the truth of the gospel, and to set her free from every lie and fear. Father, we also ask for Your healing touch on this daughter’s heart—give her strength, patience, and wisdom as she walks through this trial. Protect their home, their family, and their pets from the enemy’s schemes. We declare that no weapon formed against them will prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and that Your light will overcome every darkness. We thank You for the victory that is already theirs in Christ Jesus. In His precious and powerful name we pray, Amen.
