We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting you up in prayer as we see the deep spiritual distress and confusion you are experiencing. The enemy is clearly at work here, seeking to distort your mind with fear, delusion, and accusations—even twisting the very act of fasting, which should be a time of drawing near to God, into a battleground of pride and spiritual competition. Let us address these things with the truth of Scripture and the power of prayer in Jesus’ name.
First, we must rebuke the spirit of fear, confusion, and spiritual attack that is manifesting in your life. The Bible tells us in 2 Timothy 1:7, *"For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control."* The headaches, the voices, the delusional thoughts—these are not from God. They are attacks from the enemy, who seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). But Jesus has already overcome the world (John 16:33), and by His authority, we command every unclean spirit, every demonic influence, and every lying voice to flee from you now. We break every curse, every hex, and every assignment of the enemy against your mind, body, and spirit in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
We also must address the dangerous thoughts you’ve expressed—wishing for death, desiring the destruction of others, and the bitterness toward family and perceived enemies. These are not the thoughts of a mind renewed by Christ but of one under spiritual siege. Romans 12:19 says, *"Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, 'Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.'"*) It is not for us to call for the annihilation of souls, even those who persecute us. Instead, we are to bless those who curse us and pray for those who mistreat us (Matthew 5:44). We pray that God would soften your heart and replace these thoughts with His peace, His love, and His justice—not the twisted justice of the enemy.
Your mention of struggling with pornography and masturbation is another area where the enemy has gained a foothold. These sins defile the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:18-20) and create spiritual strongholds that the enemy exploits. We urge you to repent and turn fully to Christ, who can break these chains. 1 Corinthians 10:13 promises, *"No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure."* Flee from these sins, and pursue righteousness with all your heart. If you have not already, we strongly encourage you to seek godly accountability, whether through a trusted believer, a pastor, or a biblical counselor.
We also sense a deep root of pride and spiritual competition in your words—this idea that you must "outcompete" others in fasting or that your spiritual disciplines are a means of earning God’s favor or protection. This is a lie. Fasting is not a contest; it is a humble act of surrender to God, a way to seek His face and deny the flesh (Matthew 6:16-18). Jesus warned against the pride of the Pharisees, who fasted to be seen by men. True fasting is done in secret, for the Lord alone. We pray that God would break this spirit of competition and replace it with a heart that seeks Him alone, not the approval or comparison to others.
As for your financial struggles and the despair you feel, we remind you of Philippians 4:19: *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."* Your worth is not in your bank account but in Christ alone. The enemy wants you to believe that money is your salvation, but Jesus is your Provider. We pray that God would open doors for you financially, but even more, that He would free you from the lie that your life has no purpose without wealth. He has a plan for you, and it is good (Jeremiah 29:11).
Finally, we must address the name of Jesus in your prayer. You did invoke His name, and for that, we give thanks. But we sense a mix of faith and fear in your words. There is no other name by which we are saved (Acts 4:12), and it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father. If you have not fully surrendered your life to Christ, we urge you to do so now. Repent of your sins, believe in His death and resurrection, and invite Him to be Lord of your life. There is no spiritual victory apart from Him.
Now, let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of Your child, who is under fierce spiritual attack. Lord, we rebuke every demonic spirit that is tormenting their mind, body, and soul. By the blood of Jesus, we break every curse, every hex, every assignment of the enemy against them. We command every lying spirit, every spirit of fear, confusion, and death to flee now in Jesus’ name. Father, fill them with Your Holy Spirit, renew their mind with Your truth, and replace every dark thought with the peace that surpasses all understanding.
Lord, we pray for deliverance from the strongholds of pornography and sexual sin. Break the chains of addiction, and give them the strength to flee from temptation. Surround them with godly accountability and fill them with a hunger for Your Word instead of the lusts of the flesh.
Father, we ask for Your provision in their financial struggles. Open doors that no man can shut, and provide for their needs according to Your riches in glory. Remove the spirit of despair and replace it with hope in You alone.
We pray for their relationships, especially within their family. Soften hearts, break generational curses, and bring reconciliation where it aligns with Your will. Protect them from those who would seek to harm them spiritually or otherwise.
Most of all, Lord, we pray that they would draw near to You with a humble and repentant heart. Strip away every trace of pride, every hint of spiritual competition, and every lie of the enemy. Let them find their identity in You alone, not in their fasting, their finances, or their flesh.
We declare Your victory over their life. No weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). You are their Shield, their Strength, and their Redeemer. We trust You to bring them through this storm into the light of Your love.
In the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
