We hear your cry for help and stand with you in spiritual warfare, lifting you up before the throne of grace. The temptations you describe, lust, adultery, and the unseen forces seeking to derail your progress, are not from God, but from the enemy who prowls like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8). Yet we declare that greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). The witchcraft and curses you mention have no power over a child of God who stands firm in faith. Christ has already disarmed these principalities and powers, triumphing over them at the cross (Colossians 2:15).

First, we must address the sin that so easily entangles. Adultery and lust begin in the heart (Matthew 5:28), and entertaining these thoughts grieves the Holy Spirit. We rebuke these unclean spirits in the name of Jesus and command them to flee from you. You must also take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5) and replace these lies with the truth of God’s Word. Flee sexual immorality (1 Corinthians 6:18) and instead pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart (2 Timothy 2:22). If you are not yet married, we encourage you to seek a godly spouse, a woman who fears the Lord and shares your faith, rather than pursuing relationships that lead to temptation. Marriage is honorable, and the marriage bed undefiled, but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous (Hebrews 13:4).

The obstacles you face when moving toward your goals are not coincidences, they are attacks from the enemy, who seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). But we declare that no weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). The plans God has for you are for good, to give you a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11). Your desire to move overseas for your wife, training, and growth is not in vain. We pray that the Lord would open doors no man can shut (Revelation 3:8) and make your path straight (Proverbs 3:6). Stand firm in faith, knowing that He who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Christ Jesus (Philippians 1:6).

We also want to gently remind you that our access to God is only through the name of Jesus Christ. There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have not already, we encourage you to confess Jesus as Lord, repent of your sins, and receive His forgiveness and salvation. He is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6), and in Him alone do we find victory over sin and the powers of darkness.

Let us pray for you now:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our brother who is under attack. Lord, we thank You that You are our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). We rebuke every spirit of lust, adultery, and witchcraft that has been assigned against him, and we command them to flee in Jesus’ name. We break every curse and generational stronghold over his life, declaring that he is covered by the blood of Jesus and sealed by the Holy Spirit.

Father, we ask that You would strengthen him in his inner man. Fill him with Your Holy Spirit and renew his mind with Your Word. Help him to take every thought captive and to resist the devil, so that he may flee (James 4:7). Lord, we pray for godly discipline and accountability in his life. Surround him with believers who will encourage him in righteousness and hold him to the standards of Your Word.

We pray for his future wife, that You would prepare her heart and draw her closer to You. Lead them both in paths of righteousness and unite them in a marriage that honors You. Father, we also ask that You would open the doors for him to move overseas. Remove every obstacle and provide the resources, wisdom, and favor he needs to fulfill the calling You have placed on his life. Let Your will be done in his life, and let him walk in the fullness of Your purpose.

Lord, we thank You that You are faithful and just to forgive our sins when we confess them (1 John 1:9). We pray that our brother would experience Your forgiveness and cleansing, and that he would walk in the freedom Christ died to give him. Strengthen his faith, Lord, and help him to stand firm against the schemes of the enemy. May he grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

We declare victory over his life in the name of Jesus, for You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). We trust You to complete the work You have begun in him, and we thank You for the breakthrough that is coming. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Stand firm, brother. The battle is already won, and the Lord is fighting for you. Keep your eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). Do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season you will reap if you do not give up (Galatians 6:9). Surround yourself with godly counsel, immerse yourself in Scripture, and stay connected to a body of believers who can support and pray for you. The enemy wants to isolate you, but you are not alone, God is with you, and so are we. Press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus (Philippians 3:14).

We hear the exhaustion in your words, the cycle of striving, falling, and feeling blocked just when breakthrough seems near. That discouragement can wear anyone down, and we want you to know you’re not alone in the fight. What you’re describing, the sense that something spiritual pushes back hard every time you draw close to your goals, is something many believers walk through, especially at turning points like the move you’re preparing for. You’re wise to bring this into prayer rather than wrestling silently.

One thing we’ve seen is that these battles are often less about a single dramatic deliverance and more about a daily, stubborn reliance on Jesus. The enemy loves to magnify failure and whisper that we’re stuck under a curse, but Christ already disarmed the powers that oppose us (Colossians 2:15). That includes any witchcraft or curse aimed at you. Your security and freedom aren’t in a perfect track record but in Him. So when you stumble, you don’t start over, you return, right then, and turn your mind back to the Spirit who lives in you.

For the lust and adultery thoughts that keep surfacing, we’ve found it helps to treat them like an uninvited knock. You don’t have to entertain them or feel condemned for the knock itself; you simply refuse to open the door. A practical next step: find a brother you trust, perhaps in your current church or even the one you’re helping, and ask him to be a brief daily check-in. A quick text, a short honest word, can drain the secrecy where temptation thrives. Also consider setting aside five minutes each morning to explicitly commit your thought life and your marriage to the Lord, asking Him to fill what the enemy tries to corrupt.

As you prepare to move overseas for your wife, training, and growth, remember that opposition often rises before a season of fruitfulness. You don’t have to have everything conquered to take the next step. Keep your eyes on the One who goes ahead of you.

Let us pray briefly for you now.

Lord Jesus, we lift up our brother who longs to walk in purity and forward into Your plans. Break any grip of spiritual opposition or lies that say he is cursed. Silence the accusations and replace intrusive thoughts with Your peace that guards his heart and mind. Give him the courage of small, faithful steps, honest brothers around him, and a tender love for his wife that crowds out every counterfeit. Guide his move, protect his training, and cause him to stand firm in the freedom You have already won. In Your name, amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

You speak of witchcraft and curses, but the deadliest curse is the one you nurture in your own bosom when you entertain adulterous and lustful thoughts. God does not trifle with sin, He curses it. And yet you pray for deliverance while walking straight into the snare. The man who prays "Lead us not into temptation" and then goes into it is a liar before God. You know where temptation lies, and you go to it. Cease from that fatal folly. Never go into temptation. Flee youthful lusts. Shut your eyes, stop your ears, and run from the very appearance of evil.

As for the strange hindrances you call witchcraft, I bid you look higher. The Lord has chastened you sorely, but He has not given you over unto death. These buffetings, these sudden stops, may well be the hand of a gracious Father rather than the malice of the enemy. He brings us low, yes, into the very mire, that we may know ourselves to be nothing and that our deliverance is of Free Grace alone. The fainting heart which cries out, "God's ear is shut," is listening to Satan's most skilful arrow. The deliverance will come when the lamb is slain, when you look alone to the ransom Christ has already found. He was made a curse for us; deliverance from the power of sin is as much His work as deliverance from its penalty.

You have a deliverance to seek, not merely from outward blockades but from the poison within. Go speak to Him who was led into the wilderness to be tempted, yet without sin. Plead the blood of the covenant. And when He brings you forth, there shall be no feeble soul among your powers, for He makes His deliverance effectual, attended with enrichment of silver and gold tried in the fire. Then you shall not die, but live, whether here or across the sea, and declare the works of the Lord.

[Chrysostom]

You speak of witchcraft and curses, as though these were the cause of your stumbling. But listen carefully: the enemy sows thoughts, yet the sin is born when the will consents. No curse can force you to entertain lust; that is the choice of your own heart. For our Lord has declared, “Every one who looketh upon a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.” He did not say “whosoever shall lust to commit adultery,” but “whosoever shall look to lust,” cutting off the desire at its root. When such images rise up, you must strike them down at once, as you would crush a serpent’s head. Do not parley with them. Flee to prayer, call upon the name of Christ, and the temptation will lose its force.

You feel that something always stops you when you draw near to your goals. Often, this is permitted by God to show you that without His assistance you cannot even bear the common temptations of mankind. The Apostle promises, “God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that ye may be able to endure it.” The escape is not the removal of all difficulty, but the strength to endure and overcome. He gives patience and brings release in His time, so that the trial becomes bearable. Thus you learn humility and depend entirely upon Him, rather than upon your own plans, even a move overseas.

Do not imagine that a change of place, a wife, or new training will cure the sickness within. If you do not put to death the lustful gaze and wandering thought, you will carry the fire with you wherever you go. Indeed, if a man is bound to a wife and yet entertains desire for another, he commits adultery in his heart and makes himself accountable for a great sin. The fault lies not in the flesh, as if it were an enemy, but in a depraved moral choice. Hatred, strife, fornication, uncleanness, these are works of the will, and those who practice such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. Stop accusing witchcraft and start making war on the passion itself. Deny the eyes their roving, discipline the mind with the remembrance of the unquenchable fire, and let the fear of God be a bulwark before your soul.

When you are assailed, say to yourself, “If I look and lust, I have already committed adultery, and my Judge is at the door.” Do not think the battle is too great; you have been given a Helper. No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. Stand firm, call upon the Lord, and He will make a way for you to bear it. Then, being cleansed, you may set your outward affairs in order according to His will, with a heart that seeks first His kingdom.
