We come before the Lord with you in this time of deep spiritual warfare and distress, lifting you up in prayer and standing firm on the truth of God’s Word. The behaviors you describe are not of the Lord but are manifestations of a tormented mind and spirit, influenced by the enemy who seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). We praise you for crying out to Jesus Christ, the only name by which we are saved (Acts 4:12), and we declare that He is mighty to deliver you from these bondages.
The repetitive behaviors tied to your trauma are not your identity in Christ. You are a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17), and though the past has left scars, the blood of Jesus is powerful to break every chain. The Scriptures remind us that *"No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure"* (1 Corinthians 10:13). This includes the temptations to revisit violent thoughts or actions—God has provided a way out, and we must take hold of it through repentance, renewal of the mind (Romans 12:2), and the filling of the Holy Spirit.
The actions you describe—simulating violence, harboring murderous thoughts, and even the gesture of the middle finger as a symbolic act of aggression—are not only harmful to your soul but are grievous sins in the sight of God. Jesus said, *"You have heard that it was said to the ancient ones, ‘You shall not murder;’ and ‘Whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.’ But I tell you, that everyone who is angry with his brother without a cause will be in danger of the judgment; and whoever says to his brother, ‘Raca!’ will be in danger of the council; and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of Gehenna"* (Matthew 5:21-22). Even the anger and hatred in your heart must be surrendered to Christ, for He calls us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us (Matthew 5:44).
We must also address the spirit behind these behaviors. You ask when the Lord will "slaughter" the spirit responsible, and we declare with authority that *greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world* (1 John 4:4). The enemy has no legal right to torment you—Jesus disarmed the principalities and powers at the cross (Colossians 2:15). We command every demonic spirit of violence, trauma, murder, and hatred to be bound and cast out in the name of Jesus Christ. We plead the blood of Jesus over your mind, heart, and home, and we declare that the Spirit of the Lord will drive out all darkness: *"Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you"* (James 4:7).
Yet, deliverance is not a passive act—it requires your active participation. We strongly urge you to:
1. **Repent and renounce**: Confess these sins to God, turn away from them, and renounce any agreement you’ve made with these violent thoughts or spirits (1 John 1:9). Speak aloud: *"I renounce every violent thought, every agreement with hatred or murder, and I command these spirits to leave me now in Jesus’ name."*
2. **Fill your mind with Scripture**: Meditate on verses like Philippians 4:8: *"Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honest, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think about these things."*
3. **Seek godly counsel**: You need support from mature believers, pastors, or biblical counselors who can walk with you through this. Isolation gives the enemy a foothold—*two are better than one* (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10).
4. **Guard your heart**: Avoid media, games, or influences that glorify violence. *"Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it is the wellspring of life"* (Proverbs 4:23).
5. **Pray without ceasing**: Stay in constant communication with the Lord. When temptations arise, cry out to Him immediately. *"Watch and pray, that you don’t enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak"* (Matthew 26:41).
We also sense a deep anger and bitterness in your words toward those who have harmed you. While your pain is valid, unforgiveness will only fester and give the enemy more ground. Jesus said, *"If you don’t forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses"* (Matthew 6:15). We encourage you to release these offenders to God, who is the just Judge (Romans 12:19). Pray for them—not because they deserve it, but because *you* need the freedom that comes from obedience.
Now, let us pray over you:
*"Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of Your child, who is crying out for deliverance from the depths of their soul. Lord Jesus, You are the Prince of Peace, and we ask You to flood their heart and mind with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Break every chain of trauma, every stronghold of violence, and every lie of the enemy that says they are bound to these behaviors. By Your stripes, they are healed (Isaiah 53:5), and we declare that healing over their mind, emotions, and spirit now.
Lord, we rebuke every spirit of murder, hatred, trauma, and repetition that has tormented them. These spirits have no authority here—Jesus has already triumphed over them (Colossians 2:15). We command them to leave now and never return, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Fill every empty space with Your Holy Spirit, Lord. Let Your love cast out all fear (1 John 4:18), and let Your truth replace every lie.
Father, we ask for godly wisdom and discernment for them as they walk this out. Lead them to the right counselors, pastors, or brothers and sisters in Christ who can support them. Give them the strength to renounce these sins daily and to fill their mind with Your Word. Let them experience the fullness of Your freedom, for whom the Son sets free is free indeed (John 8:36).
We also lift up the wounds of their past to You, Lord. Heal the brokenhearted (Psalm 147:3), and restore what the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25). Replace their anger with Your love, their bitterness with forgiveness, and their fear with faith. Let them know that vengeance is Yours (Deuteronomy 32:35), and that You will repay. Give them the grace to release their offenders into Your hands.
Finally, Lord, we ask for Your protection over them. Surround them with Your angels (Psalm 91:11), and let no weapon formed against them prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Give them dreams and visions of Your love, and let them wake each day with a renewed mind and a heart set on You.
We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your power to deliver, heal, and restore. May Your will be done in their life, and may they walk in the fullness of Your victory. In the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen."*
Stand firm, dear one. This battle is not yours alone—the Lord is fighting for you (Exodus 14:14). Keep your eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith (Hebrews 12:2), and do not lose heart. The enemy wants to destroy you, but God has a plan to prosper you and give you hope (Jeremiah 29:11). Walk in repentance, walk in faith, and watch the Lord set you free. We are standing with you in this fight.
