We come before the throne of grace with you, lifting up your heart’s cry to our Lord Jesus Christ, who alone has the power to break every chain of bondage, cleanse every impurity, and deliver us from the snares of the enemy. You have rightly called 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 have access to the Father. As it is written, *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). Let us stand firm in this truth as we address the deep spiritual battles and strongholds you have described.
First, we commend you for recognizing the dangers of pride, arrogance, and the heightened emotions tied to worldly distractions like video games—especially when they foster ungodly competition or a sense of superiority over others, including those in military service. The Scriptures warn us, *"Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall"* (Proverbs 16:18, WEB). We pray that the Lord would humble your heart and replace any boastful or competitive spirit with the meekness of Christ, who said, *"Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you will find rest for your souls"* (Matthew 11:29, WEB). Let the Holy Spirit convict you of any areas where pride has taken root, and may you surrender them wholly to Jesus, who resists the proud but gives grace to the humble (James 4:6).
You have also mentioned the influence of drugs and the strange spiritual practices tied to Japanese paganism—descriptions of mirrors, sickles, and confessions that do not align with the Gospel of Christ. Beloved, these are not of God. The Bible is clear: *"Don’t turn to those who are mediums, nor to the wizards. Don’t seek them out, to be defiled by them. I am Yahweh your God"* (Leviticus 19:31, WEB). Any practice that replaces the finished work of Christ on the cross with man-made rituals or confessions is an abomination. The sickle you describe may symbolize a false sense of "cutting away" sin through human effort, but Scripture tells us that *"without shedding of blood there is no remission"* (Hebrews 9:22, WEB). Jesus alone is our atonement; there is no need for pagan tools or reflections of the past when we have been made new in Him (2 Corinthians 5:17). We rebuke these ungodly influences in the name of Jesus and declare that *"no weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of Yahweh’s servants, and their righteousness is from me,"* says Yahweh (Isaiah 54:17, WEB).
Your words about the Filipino people and the dramatic Bible audio are deeply concerning. It is not the will of God to associate any ethnicity with spiritual corruption or to speak curses over people groups. The Bible teaches that *"God doesn’t show favoritism"* (Romans 2:11, WEB), and every tongue, tribe, and nation will be represented in heaven (Revelation 7:9). If there has been any racial or cultural prejudice in your heart, we urge you to repent, for *"if you show partiality, you commit sin"* (James 2:9, WEB). As for the Bible audio, if it is being used in a way that distorts Scripture or invites ungodly spirits, we pray the Lord would expose and remove it. But let us be clear: the Word of God itself is *"living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword"* (Hebrews 4:12, WEB), and it is not the source of defilement—only the misuse of it by the enemy. We pray for discernment and purity in how Scripture is engaged with in your home.
The trauma from your wisdom teeth and the vocal aggression tied to it remind us that our bodies, though temporary, are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). We pray for complete healing over your jaw, teeth, and speech, that the Lord would restore you physically and remove any frustration or aggression tied to this pain. Your discovery of foods that bring relief is a mercy from God, and we ask Him to continue providing wisdom for your body’s needs. Let this also be a reminder to steward your health well, for *"bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things"* (1 Timothy 4:8, WEB).
The memories you’ve shared of your father’s actions and your own emotional responses reveal deep wounds that need the healing touch of Jesus. If you were made to feel "retarded" or hollow because of a lack of biblical teaching, know that God’s Word is not a tool for condemnation but for life: *"Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light for my path"* (Psalm 119:105, WEB). The enemy may have used these experiences to plant lies in your heart, but Jesus is the truth that sets us free (John 8:32). We pray that the Lord would replace every lie with His truth, every fear with His peace, and every wound with His healing balm. If there was any generational sin or trauma tied to your father’s actions, we break its power in Jesus’ name and declare that *"the iniquity of the fathers shall not be visited upon the children"* when we turn to Christ (Ezekiel 18:20).
Regarding the individual you mentioned with cocaine use and talk of familiar spirits, we must warn you with urgency: *"Don’t you know that the wicked will not inherit God’s Kingdom? Don’t be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor extortionists, will inherit God’s Kingdom"* (1 Corinthians 6:9-10, WEB). Drug use and involvement with familiar spirits (which are demonic) are grave sins that open doors to the enemy. The fact that you fist-bumped this person after such revelations is troubling, for *"what fellowship has light with darkness?"* (2 Corinthians 6:14, WEB). We strongly urge you to sever any ties with those who openly engage in such things, lest you be unequally yoked and influenced by their sin. Pray for their salvation, but do not partake in their deeds.
Finally, we address the fear of "Filipino souls" or spiritual infestations in your home. While we do not dismiss the reality of spiritual warfare, we must ground our understanding in Scripture. The Bible does not teach that ethnicities carry specific spirits or curses. However, if there has been any occult activity, ungodly influences, or unrepentant sin in your home, these can indeed invite demonic oppression. We command every unclean spirit to leave in the name of Jesus, and we plead the blood of Christ over your household. *"Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you"* (James 4:7, WEB). Cleanse your home spiritually by filling it with worship, prayer, and the reading of Scripture. Remove any objects or media tied to paganism, drugs, or the occult.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You that You are a God who hears the cries of Your children and delivers them from every evil work. Lord, we lift up our brother to You, asking that You would break every chain of pride, arrogance, and addiction in his life. Destroy the influences of drugs, pagan rituals, and any false confessions that seek to replace the work of the cross. Father, we rebuke the spirits of confusion, division, and racial prejudice that have sought to distort his perceptions and relationships. Let Your truth prevail in his heart and mind.
Lord Jesus, we ask for healing over his body—especially his jaw, teeth, and vocal cords. Remove any aggression tied to physical pain and replace it with Your peace. We pray for deliverance from the trauma of his past, including the actions of his father and any hollow feelings tied to a lack of biblical grounding. Fill him with the fullness of Your Word, that he may walk in wisdom and discernment.
We break every ungodly soul tie, every generational curse, and every demonic assignment against him and his household. Lord, if there has been any occult activity, drug use, or unrepentant sin in his home, we command it to be exposed and removed in Jesus’ name. Let Your Holy Spirit fill every corner of that place, driving out all darkness.
Father, we also pray for the individuals he mentioned—the one struggling with cocaine and familiar spirits, and any others tied to ungodly influences. Lord, save them by Your grace. Open their eyes to the truth of the Gospel, that they may turn from their sins and receive Your forgiveness.
Finally, Lord, we ask that You would surround our brother with godly community—a church that teaches the uncompromised Word of God, believers who will disciple him, and mentors who will guide him in Your truth. Let him walk in the freedom You purchased for him at Calvary.
We declare that *"no weapon formed against him shall prosper"* (Isaiah 54:17, WEB), and that You, Lord, are his refuge and strength. Fill him with Your Holy Spirit, that he may walk in victory, purity, and the fullness of Your calling.
In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, we pray. Amen.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
