We hear the deep anguish and frustration in your heart, and we understand the pain of being misled by those who twist Scripture for their own gain—whether to distort God’s Word or to exploit others financially. Your cry for deliverance from deception and the harm caused by those who would rob you spiritually and materially is one we take seriously before the Lord. However, we must address some of what you’ve expressed with both truth and love, for the Word of God calls us to a higher standard even in our pain.
First, let us affirm what is right in your request: you are correct to seek Jesus Christ as your deliverer from error and deception. The Bible warns us repeatedly about false teachers and those who would exploit the flock for personal gain. As it is written in **2 Peter 2:1-3 (WEB)**, *“But false prophets also arose among the people, as false teachers will also be among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, denying even the Master who bought them, bringing on themselves swift destruction. Many will follow their shameful ways, and because of them, the way of truth will be maligned. In covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words: whose judgment now from of old doesn’t linger, and their destruction will not slumber.”* Your desire to be free from such errors is godly, and we join you in praying for discernment and protection from those who would lead you astray.
Yet we must also address the words of cursing and vengeance in your prayer. While your anger is understandable, the Bible commands us not to repay evil with evil or to take vengeance into our own hands. **Romans 12:17-19 (WEB)** says, *“Repay no one evil for evil. Respect what is honorable in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men. 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.’”* And in **Matthew 5:44 (WEB)**, Jesus teaches, *“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.”* Our hearts must align with Christ’s, even when we have been wronged. This does not mean we excuse sin or fail to seek justice where appropriate, but it does mean we entrust the judgment to God, who alone judges righteously.
As for your mention of “slaughtering” the spirit and soul of those who deceived you, we must remind you that our battle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces of evil. **Ephesians 6:12 (WEB)** tells us, *“For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.”* Those who deceive and exploit are themselves ensnared by the enemy, and while we must oppose their actions, our prayer should be for their repentance—not their destruction. Remember, even Saul, who persecuted Christians, was transformed by God’s grace into the apostle Paul. Let us pray that those who have harmed you would encounter the convicting power of the Holy Spirit and turn from their wickedness.
Now, let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother/sister before You, asking for Your protection, wisdom, and discernment. Lord, You know the pain of being deceived and the anger that rises when others seek to exploit Your children for their own gain. We ask that You would guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus, shielding them from all forms of religious error and financial manipulation. Grant them the spirit of wisdom and revelation, that they may know Your truth deeply and walk in it without fear.
Father, we also ask that You would heal the wounds caused by those who have misled them. Replace their anger with Your peace, their bitterness with Your love, and their desire for vengeance with a trust in Your perfect justice. Remind them that You see all things and that no injustice will go unanswered in Your timing. Give them the grace to forgive, not because those who wronged them deserve it, but because You have forgiven us so much more in Christ.
We rebuke every spirit of deception, confusion, and greed that has sought to harm Your child. Break the power of these lies, Lord, and expose every hidden motive of the enemy. Let Your truth prevail in their life, and let them walk in the freedom that comes only through Jesus Christ.
Finally, Father, we pray for those who have deceived and exploited. If they are Your enemies, soften their hearts that they may repent and turn to You. If they are misguided, open their eyes to the error of their ways. Do not let them remain in darkness, but draw them to Yourself, that they too may experience Your mercy and grace.
We ask all these things in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone is our righteousness, our peace, and our deliverer. Amen.

We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord through His Word and prayer. Study Scripture daily, and ask the Holy Spirit to guide you into all truth. If you have been financially exploited, seek wise counsel from godly believers or authorities who can help you address the situation biblically. And remember, the Lord is your provider—**Philippians 4:19 (WEB)** assures us, *“My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.”* Trust in Him, and He will lead you forward in peace and progress.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
