We come before the Lord with you in this request, lifting up your concerns about spiritual oppression, generational influences, and the things that have hindered your ambitions. First, we rejoice that you have invoked the name of Jesus Christ in your prayer, for it is only through Him that we have authority over the enemy and access to the Father. As Scripture declares, *"There is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). It is in His mighty name that we stand against every form of darkness, knowing that *"the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world"* (1 John 4:4, WEB).
Your mention of "religious and spiritual vexation" and "magics" tied to food, ancestral lines, or cultural practices is a serious matter. The Bible warns us against dabbling in or being influenced by occult practices, idolatry, or pagan traditions, for these things open doors to demonic oppression. In Deuteronomy 18:10-12 (WEB), the Lord explicitly condemns divination, sorcery, and those who practice such things: *"There shall not be found with you anyone who makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who practices sorcery, one who interprets omens, one who is a sorcerer, one who charms, one who consults a spiritist, one who is a wizard, or one who calls on the dead. For whoever does these things is an abomination to Yahweh."* If there has been any involvement—knowingly or unknowingly—with such practices, whether through cultural foods, ancestral ties, or personal actions, we must renounce them in the name of Jesus and break their power.
You also mention a past incident involving violence while under the influence of alcohol, as well as a sense of being trapped in a "cast system" as a "helper" or "servant." These are not coincidences but may well be spiritual strongholds that have taken root. Alcohol can cloud judgment and open doors to demonic influence, and the Bible warns us to *"be sober and self-controlled"* (1 Peter 5:8, WEB), for our adversary the devil prowls like a roaring lion. As for the feeling of being bound to a role of servitude, we must remember that in Christ, we are no longer slaves but sons and daughters of God. Galatians 4:7 (WEB) declares, *"So you are no longer a bondservant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ."* If there are generational curses or word curses (such as being labeled a "helper" in a demeaning way), we break them now in Jesus’ name, declaring that *"Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us"* (Galatians 3:13, WEB).
Regarding the individual named ###, we must be careful not to attribute spiritual power to names, phobias, disabilities, or bloodlines—whether Hawaiian, Japanese, or otherwise. The Bible makes it clear that our authority comes from Christ alone, not from human lineage or superstition. In Acts 19:13-16 (WEB), we see that even invoking the name of Jesus without true faith is powerless, and attempting to manipulate spiritual forces outside of God’s will leads to bondage. If there is any fear or fascination with ###’s background, we must reject it and focus solely on the supremacy of Christ. *"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB).
As for the food, ###, while it may be culturally significant, food itself has no inherent spiritual power unless it has been dedicated to idols or used in occult practices (1 Corinthians 8:4-6, WEB). However, if you sense that eating it has been tied to spiritual oppression or a sense of bondage, we encourage you to fast from it and pray for the Lord’s discernment. The apostle Paul reminds us, *"All things are lawful for me, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be mastered by anything"* (1 Corinthians 6:12, WEB). If this food—or any habit—has become a point of spiritual contamination or control, we ask the Lord to sever its influence over you.
Finally, we address the broader issue of ambition and purpose. If you feel that your goals have been hindered by spiritual forces, take heart in knowing that God has a plan for you—one that is not limited by man-made systems or demonic assignments. Jeremiah 29:11 (WEB) assures us, *"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future."* However, we must also examine our hearts: Are our ambitions aligned with God’s will, or are they rooted in pride, envy, or worldly desires? Proverbs 16:3 (WEB) instructs us to *"Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed."* Let us surrender our plans to Him, trusting that He will direct our steps (Proverbs 3:5-6, WEB).
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You that You are a God who hears and delivers, who breaks chains and sets captives free. Lord, we lift up our brother/sister before You, asking that You expose and destroy every form of religious and spiritual vexation that has sought to oppress him/her. We break the power of any curses, hexes, or occult influences tied to food, ancestral lines, cultural practices, or past actions—whether through ###, alcohol, violence, or any other means. We renounce every agreement with darkness, whether knowingly or unknowingly made, and we declare that the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses and covers him/her completely.
Lord, we break the spirit of servitude and helplessness that has sought to confine him/her to a role of bondage. We declare that in Christ, he/she is a child of God, seated in heavenly places with authority over every power of the enemy (Ephesians 2:6, WEB). We command every demonic assignment against his/her ambitions, progress, and peace to be nullified and cast down in Jesus’ name. If there has been any generational iniquity or word curses spoken over his/her life, we break their power now by the authority of Christ.
Father, we ask for Your discernment regarding the influence of ### or any other person, bloodline, or cultural practice. We reject the lie that names, phobias, disabilities, or heritage hold any power over Your children. You alone are sovereign, and we trust in Your protection. If there has been any fear, fascination, or ungodly soul tie, we sever it now in Jesus’ name.
We also pray for deliverance from any strongholds of alcohol, anger, or violence. Fill him/her with Your Holy Spirit, that he/she may walk in self-control, love, and soundness of mind. Restore what has been stolen—peace, progress, and purpose—and align his/her ambitions with Your perfect will.
Lord, we thank You for the freedom that comes through Christ. We declare that no weapon formed against him/her shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17, WEB), and that every plan of the enemy is exposed and defeated. May Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard his/her heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7, WEB).
We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Redeemer. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord through prayer, fasting, and the reading of His Word. If there are areas of sin or ungodly influences in your life, repent and turn away from them, for *"if we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness"* (1 John 1:9, WEB). Stay rooted in a Bible-believing church, surround yourself with mature believers, and walk in the authority Christ has given you. The enemy has no power over those who are in Christ—*"You are of God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world"* (1 John 4:4, WEB). Stand firm in this truth!
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.
