We come before the Lord with grateful hearts that you have called upon the name of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and find salvation, healing, and deliverance. As Scripture declares, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). Your faith in invoking the name of Jesus is a testament to your trust in His power, and we join you in lifting these concerns to Him.
First, we address the matter of sharing vapes and the fears surrounding it. The body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, and we are called to honor God with our bodies (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). Engaging in behaviors like sharing vapes—or any substance that harms the body—is not only physically dangerous but can open doors to spiritual concerns. We encourage you to turn away from such practices, repent if needed, and seek purity in body and spirit. *"Don’t you know that you are a temple of God, and that God’s Spirit lives in you? If anyone destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is holy, which you are."* (1 Corinthians 3:16-17, WEB). Let us pray for cleansing and protection over your body, mind, and spirit, that the Lord would remove any ungodly ties or influences from these actions. The fear you express about souls being transferred through such means is not aligned with Scripture—our battle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces (Ephesians 6:12). Trust in the Lord’s sovereignty over your life and His power to sanctify you fully.
Regarding the mention of alcohol, saliva, mucus, breath, vomit, and other bodily functions, we gently remind you that while hygiene and health are important, we must not give way to fear or superstitious beliefs that are not grounded in Scripture. The Lord has not given us a spirit of fear but of power, love, and sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). If there are underlying anxieties or obsessions, we pray for the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, to guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:6-7). If these thoughts are persistent or troubling, we encourage you to seek godly counsel or pastoral guidance to address them biblically.
You also mention a spirit that needs to be cast out from "Aunty ###." We take spiritual warfare seriously, for we know that our enemy prowls like a roaring lion (1 Peter 5:8). However, it is essential to approach deliverance with discernment, authority, and humility, always submitting to the Lordship of Christ. If Aunty ### is open to it, we encourage prayer and fasting on her behalf, along with the laying on of hands by mature believers (James 5:14-15). *"He said to them, ‘Because of your unbelief. For most certainly I tell you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will tell this mountain, “Move from here to there,” and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you."* (Matthew 17:20, WEB). Let us pray with authority in Jesus’ name for her freedom and healing.
Finally, we rejoice with you in thanking the Lord for His peace, providence, and progress in your life. These are gifts from His hand, and we pray they continue to abound as you walk closely with Him. *"Don’t be anxious for anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."* (Philippians 4:6-7, WEB).

**Let us pray together:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and holy name of Jesus, lifting up our brother/sister and their heartfelt requests. Lord, we thank You that Your ear is inclined to the cries of Your children, and that You are faithful to hear and answer us.
First, we ask for forgiveness and cleansing for any way our sibling in Christ has participated in harmful or ungodly practices, such as sharing vapes or engaging in behaviors that defile the temple of the Holy Spirit. Wash them clean, Lord, by the blood of Jesus, and renew their mind and body. Break any ungodly soul ties or spiritual influences that may have come through these actions, and fill them with a desire for purity and holiness. Help them to walk in the freedom and victory that Christ has already won on the cross.
We rebuke any spirit of fear, anxiety, or superstition that has taken root in their mind regarding bodily functions or the transfer of spirits. Lord, Your Word tells us that perfect love casts out fear (1 John 4:18), and we ask that You would flood their heart with Your perfect love. Replace their fears with faith, their worries with worship, and their doubts with declarations of Your truth. Guard their mind, Lord, and let them meditate on whatever is true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, and commendable (Philippians 4:8).
For Aunty ###, we stand in the authority of Jesus Christ and command any unclean or oppressive spirit to leave her now. We bind the works of darkness in her life and loose the power of the Holy Spirit to bring conviction, repentance, and restoration. Lord, if there is any stronghold in her life, we pray You would tear it down and set her free. Surround her with Your angels, Lord, and let Your light shine brightly in her heart. If she is open, lead her to a community of believers who can pray over her and support her in this journey.
We thank You, Lord, for the peace, providence, and progress You have already granted. We ask that You continue to lead our sibling in Christ into greater depths of Your presence and purpose. Open doors that no one can shut, and shut doors that no one can open (Revelation 3:7). Let their life be a testimony of Your goodness, grace, and power.
May they walk in the assurance that You are with them always, even to the end of the age (Matthew 28:20). Strengthen their faith, Lord, and let them know beyond any doubt that they are Your beloved child, redeemed by the blood of the Lamb.
We pray all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
