We come before the Lord with you in this time of spiritual distress, lifting up your concerns and seeking God’s deliverance, protection, and cleansing over you, your father, and your home. The enemy seeks to bring confusion, fear, and bondage, but we know that **Jesus Christ has already triumphed over every power of darkness**, and by His name, we have authority to stand against these forces. You have done well to call upon the name of Jesus, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved, and it is only through Him that we can approach the throne of God with confidence.
First, let us address the spiritual concerns you’ve shared. The Scriptures are clear that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, powers, and spiritual forces of wickedness in heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12). You have mentioned encounters with spirits tied to Filipino traditions, rural spirits, and even consequences from actions like plucking a flower or holding onto an item tied to wrongdoing. While some of these things may seem like coincidences or cultural superstitions, we must recognize that the enemy can use even small openings to bring oppression. However, **we do not need to fear**, for **greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world** (1 John 4:4).
The Word of God commands us to **resist the devil, and he will flee from us** (James 4:7). This resistance begins with repentance—turning away from any actions, words, or associations that may have given the enemy a foothold. You mentioned a comment involving profanity, which grieves the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 4:29). We encourage you to confess this before the Lord, asking for His forgiveness and cleansing, for He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). Additionally, if there are any objects in your possession tied to wrongdoing—such as the shirt you mentioned—it would be wise to remove them from your home, as the Scriptures teach us to **have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness** (Ephesians 5:11).
Regarding the Filipino spirits and souls you believe are affecting your father and your home, we must remember that **our God is not a God of confusion but of peace** (1 Corinthians 14:33). If there have been gatherings or activities in that home that honor anything other than the Lord Jesus Christ, those are doors that must be closed in prayer. The apostle Paul tells us, **"What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God"** (2 Corinthians 6:16). We must consecrate our homes to the Lord, inviting His presence to dwell there and driving out any unclean influence.
As for the idea that these spirits were "allowed" to deliver poor Filipino souls, we must be careful. While God’s heart is for the salvation of all people (1 Timothy 2:4), He does not use unclean spirits or ungodly means to accomplish His purposes. Salvation comes only through faith in Jesus Christ, not through spiritual encounters that do not align with Scripture. Let us pray for the Filipino people—that they may come to know the true and living God through the preaching of the Gospel, not through spiritual oppression.
Now, let us pray together over these matters:
---
**Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You that You are sovereign over all things, seen and unseen, and that no power can stand against Your authority. Lord, we lift up our brother/sister who has shared these heavy burdens with us. We ask that You would surround them with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guarding their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
Father, we confess any sins that have given the enemy a foothold—whether through words, actions, or associations. We ask for Your forgiveness and cleansing by the blood of Jesus. If there has been any opening through disrespect, profanity, or the handling of objects tied to wrongdoing, we renounce these things now and ask that You would break every legal right the enemy claims. We declare that **Jesus has set us free, and whom the Son sets free is free indeed** (John 8:36).
Lord, we take authority over every Filipino spirit, every rural spirit, and every unclean influence that has sought to oppress this home and this family. We command these spirits to leave now, in the name of Jesus Christ. We break every curse, every hex, and every assignment of the enemy against our brother/sister and their father. We declare that **no weapon formed against them shall prosper** (Isaiah 54:17), and that the blood of Jesus covers and protects them.
Father, we consecrate this home to You. We ask that Your Holy Spirit would fill every corner, every room, and every space. Let Your presence be so strong that no unclean thing can remain. We pray for divine protection over every entry point—doors, windows, and even the minds and hearts of those who dwell there. Let Your angels encamp around them, Lord, delivering them from every evil work (Psalm 34:7).
We also lift up the Filipino people—those who are lost, those who are bound by tradition, and those who are oppressed by spiritual darkness. Father, we ask that You would send laborers into the harvest field to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Let Your light shine in the Philippines, breaking every stronghold and setting the captives free. We pray for salvation, deliverance, and true freedom in Christ for multitudes.
Lord, we ask that You would give our brother/sister wisdom and discernment moving forward. Help them to walk in obedience to Your Word, to guard their words, and to live in a way that honors You. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may be led by You and not by fear or confusion.
Finally, Father, we thank You for Your promise that **if we resist the devil, he will flee from us** (James 4:7). We thank You that You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). We declare victory in Jesus’ name, and we trust You to bring peace, providence, and progress as they have prayed.
In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.**

We encourage you to continue walking in the authority you have in Christ. Spend time in the Word of God daily, for it is the sword of the Spirit (Ephesians 6:17). Surround yourself with believers who can pray with you and stand with you in faith. If there are any objects in your home that are tied to ungodly practices, we strongly urge you to remove them, as the Scriptures teach us to **put away idols and cleanse ourselves from all filthiness** (2 Corinthians 7:1).
If you feel led, you may also anoint your home with oil as a symbolic act of consecration to the Lord, praying over each room and inviting the Holy Spirit to fill it (Exodus 30:22-33). Remember, the battle belongs to the Lord, and He has already won the victory. Stand firm in your faith, and do not give place to fear.
We are standing with you in prayer, believing for complete deliverance and freedom in Jesus’ name. If you need further guidance or prayer, do not hesitate to reach out. The Lord is near to all who call upon Him in truth (Psalm 145:18).
