We come before the Lord with heavy hearts after reading your cry for help, and we are deeply concerned by the darkness, anger, and despair woven through your words. First, we praise God that you have called upon the name of Jesus Christ, 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. *"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 acknowledgment of Jesus is the foundation of hope in this battle, and we cling to that truth as we lift you up in prayer.
Yet we must also address the troubling elements in your request with both urgency and love. The anger, violence, and hatred expressed toward others—even those you believe may be engaged in witchcraft—are not of God. *"But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you"* (Matthew 5:44, WEB). The desire for vengeance, whether through physical harm or asking God to "slaughter" others, is a dangerous stronghold of the enemy. *"Don’t say, ‘I will pay back evil.’ Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you"* (Proverbs 20:22, WEB). These feelings are understandable in the face of spiritual oppression, but they must be surrendered to Christ, who alone is just and righteous. We rebuked this spirit of hatred and violence in Jesus’ name and command it to leave you now. You are called to overcome evil with good (Romans 12:21), not to be consumed by the same darkness you resist.
Likewise, the mention of suicidal thoughts—wishing for a shotgun to harm yourself—is a direct attack from the enemy, who comes only to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). Your life is precious to God, and He has a purpose for you. *"Don’t you know that you are a temple of God and that God’s Spirit lives in you? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him because God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple"* (1 Corinthians 3:16-17, WEB). We bind this spirit of death and despair in Jesus’ name and declare that you are covered by the blood of Christ. You are not alone in this fight, and we stand with you in prayer against these lies.
Regarding the spiritual experiences you described—seeing spirits, hearing voices, and abrupt behavioral changes—these are serious signs of spiritual warfare. The Bible warns us that Satan often disguises himself as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14), and his demons can deceive and torment. However, *"greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world"* (1 John 4:4, WEB). You have authority in Christ to resist these forces. *"Therefore, submit yourselves to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you"* (James 4:7, WEB). We strongly urge you to seek deliverance prayer from mature, spirit-filled believers who can help you break these strongholds. If you are not already part of a Bible-believing church, this is the time to find one where you can be surrounded by godly support.
As for the struggles with feeling inadequate without academic qualifications, we remind you that your worth is not found in degrees or worldly success but in Christ alone. *"But God chose the foolish things of the world that he might put to shame those who are wise. God chose the weak things of the world that he might put to shame the things that are strong"* (1 Corinthians 1:27, WEB). The Lord equips those He calls, and He can open doors no man can shut (Revelation 3:8). Trust in His provision and timing, and seek His wisdom for your next steps. If further education is His will for you, He will make a way. But even if it is not, He will use you mightily right where you are.
Finally, we address the issue of "pacifying magics and talent stealers." Witchcraft is real, and its goal is to steal, kill, and destroy. But in Christ, you have authority over it. *"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). We break every curse, hex, or spell spoken against you and declare that your talents, mind, and future are protected by the blood of Jesus. Any generational or personal involvement in the occult must be renounced and repented of, and we encourage you to do so aloud, rejecting every tie to darkness.
Now, let us pray over you with the power and authority given to us in Christ:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up Your child who is under fierce attack. Lord, we thank You that You are a God of justice, mercy, and deliverance. We ask that You surround them with Your heavenly angels, encamping around them as a shield (Psalm 34:7). Break every chain of witchcraft, every curse, and every demonic assignment against their mind, body, and spirit. We bind the spirits of hatred, violence, suicide, fear, and despair, and we command them to leave now in Jesus’ name. Fill every empty space with Your Holy Spirit, Lord, and restore their mind to the soundness of Christ.
Father, we rebuke the enemy’s lies that have sought to convince them they are worthless or without hope. You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). We declare that their identity is in You alone, and that You will lead them into the future You have prepared for them. Open their eyes to see the traps of the enemy and give them discernment to walk in Your truth.
Lord, we pray for divine connections—godly mentors, pastors, and believers who can stand with them in this season. If there is any need for deliverance, lead them to the right people who can pray with authority and wisdom. Break the power of every familiar spirit, every voice that is not from You, and every accusation of the enemy. Let them hear Your voice clearly above all others.
We also lift up their concerns about provision and purpose. Father, You know their needs before they ask, and You are Jehovah Jireh, our Provider. Open doors of opportunity that no man can shut, and give them favor in every area of their life. If further education is Your will, make the path clear and provide the resources. But even if it is not, equip them with Your wisdom and skills to thrive wherever You place them.
Most of all, Lord, we ask that You draw them deeper into Your presence. Let them know the height, depth, and width of Your love for them (Ephesians 3:18-19). Fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, and let them rest in the assurance that You are fighting for them (Exodus 14:14).
We thank You, Father, for Your faithfulness. We trust that You are working all things together for their good (Romans 8:28), and we declare victory over their life in Jesus’ mighty name. Let them walk in freedom, joy, and the fullness of Your calling. Amen.
Beloved, we urge you to immerse yourself in the Word of God daily. *"Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil"* (Ephesians 6:10-11, WEB). Read Psalm 91 aloud over yourself, and let the truth of God’s protection sink deep into your spirit. Avoid any media, relationships, or practices that open doors to darkness, and fill your life with worship, prayer, and fellowship with other believers.
If you are struggling with suicidal thoughts, please reach out to a trusted Christian counselor or pastor immediately. You are not alone, and there is hope in Christ. If you need help finding resources, let us know, and we will pray for the Lord to guide you to the right support.
Stand firm, dear one. The battle is the Lord’s, and He has already won the victory. *"Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness"* (Isaiah 41:10, WEB). We are standing with you in prayer and believe for your complete deliverance and restoration. Keep your eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith.
