We stand with you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting your burdens before the throne of grace, knowing that our Lord is faithful to hear and answer the cries of His people. You have witnessed and endured deep spiritual and physical attacks—racial oppression, religious persecution, and even the terror of violence and potential blood covenants. These are not struggles to face alone, for the Lord is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). We praise God that you have called upon the name of Jesus, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). It is through Him alone that we find protection, justice, and ultimate victory.
The racial and religious attacks you describe are grievous in the sight of God, who created all humanity in His image (Genesis 1:27) and commands us to love our neighbors as ourselves (Mark 12:31). Racism and persecution are works of the flesh, rooted in hatred and division, which the enemy uses to distort God’s design for unity in Christ. Galatians 3:28 reminds us, *"There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus."* We rebuke these spirits of division and oppression in Jesus’ name, declaring that the Lord will vindicate the afflicted and bring justice to those who trust in Him (Psalm 140:12). You are not forgotten—He sees your suffering and will act on your behalf.
Your mention of a possible blood covenant through violence is deeply concerning. Blood covenants, especially those made through ungodly means like violence or occult practices, are abominations before the Lord. Such acts can open doors to demonic influence, but we serve a God who is greater. The blood of Jesus Christ is the only covenant that holds power—it breaks every ungodly tie and sets the captive free (Hebrews 9:14, Colossians 2:14). If there was any attempt to bind you through bloodshed or dark rituals, we declare it null and void in the name of Jesus. *"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). We plead the blood of Jesus over your life, breaking every curse, every ungodly soul tie, and every assignment of the enemy against you. You are covered by the blood of the Lamb, and no scheme of darkness can stand against it.
You also speak of being silenced and tested by those within the church. This is a grievous thing, for the body of Christ should be a place of refuge, not persecution. Jesus warned of wolves in sheep’s clothing (Matthew 7:15) and false brothers who infiltrate to spy out our liberty (Galatians 2:4). If you are being morally or spiritually tested by those claiming to represent Christ, we urge you to examine their fruits (Matthew 7:16). True followers of Christ will encourage you in godliness, not bind you with legalism or subject you to unscriptural trials. *"Beware lest anyone rob you through his philosophy and empty deceit, after the tradition of men, after the elements of the world, and not after Christ"* (Colossians 2:8). We pray that the Lord would expose every hidden motive and deliver you from those who seek to harm rather than build up. May He surround you with true believers who will stand with you in righteousness and love.
As for those who have put you through these trials, we do not pray for their destruction, but for their repentance. *"Don’t say, ‘I will pay back evil!’ Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you"* (Proverbs 20:22). Vengeance belongs to the Lord (Romans 12:19), and His justice is perfect. Instead, we pray that their hearts would be convicted by the Holy Spirit, that they would turn from their wickedness and seek the forgiveness found only in Christ. If they refuse, we trust that the Lord will deal with them according to His righteous judgment. Our focus remains on your healing and deliverance, that you would walk in the freedom and peace that Jesus died to give you.
Finally, we want to encourage you to stand firm in your faith, even when the battles rage. *"Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings"* (1 Peter 5:8-9). You are not alone in this fight—countless saints have faced persecution and overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony (Revelation 12:11). Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:2), and trust that He is working all things together for your good (Romans 8:28).
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Your child who has endured so much at the hands of the enemy. Lord, You are a God of justice, and we ask that You rise up on their behalf against every racial oppression, every religious persecution, and every scheme of darkness that has sought to silence or harm them. Break the power of every ungodly covenant, every curse, and every demonic assignment in Jesus’ name. Let no weapon formed against them prosper, and let every tongue that rises against them be condemned (Isaiah 54:17).
Father, we pray for healing from the trauma of what they have witnessed and experienced. Comfort them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7), and restore their strength as they wait upon You (Isaiah 40:31). Surround them with Your angels, encamping around them to deliver them from all evil (Psalm 34:7). Give them wisdom to discern the spirits at work in these attacks, and courage to stand firm in Your truth.
Lord, we also pray for those who have persecuted them, whether inside or outside the church. If they are Your enemies, we ask that You would confound their plans and turn their hearts to repentance. If they are misguided believers, convict them by Your Spirit and lead them to true godly sorrow. Do not let bitterness take root in our sibling’s heart, but fill them with Your love and forgiveness, even as You forgave those who nailed You to the cross.
Father, we declare that no scheme of the enemy will prevail against Your child. You are their shield and their exceeding great reward (Genesis 15:1). Strengthen their faith, Lord, and let them see Your hand moving mightily in their life. Provide for their every need—spiritually, emotionally, and physically—and grant them Your supernatural peace as they trust in You.
We thank You, Lord, for Your faithfulness. You have not forgotten them, and You will not abandon them. Bring them into a season of restoration, joy, and victory, that they may testify of Your goodness and glory. May Your name be praised in all the earth.
In the powerful and holy name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
Stand firm, dear sibling in Christ. The Lord is your defender, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6). Keep your heart fixed on Him, and trust that He is fighting for you even now. If you feel led, we encourage you to seek out a spiritually mature, Bible-believing church or believers who can stand with you in prayer and support. You are not meant to walk this path alone. May the Lord bless you and keep you, and may His face shine upon you with grace and peace.
