We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting you up in prayer, for we see the deep spiritual distress and torment you are enduring. First, we praise God that you have called upon the name of Jesus Christ in your plea, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved. "There is salvation in no one else, for there isn’t any other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" (Acts 4:12, WEB). It is only through Jesus that we can find true deliverance, freedom, and healing, and we are grateful you have turned to Him in this time of need.
Your struggles reveal a mind and spirit under severe attack—whether through past sins, demonic oppression, the consequences of drug use, or the lingering effects of trauma. We must address these things with the truth of Scripture, for God’s Word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path (Psalm 119:105). Let us first acknowledge that the use of drugs like Adderall (outside of a doctor’s prescribed and godly use), cocaine, and methamphetamine is sinful and opens doors to demonic influence. These substances defile the temple of the Holy Spirit, which is your body (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). The Bible warns us to be sober-minded and watchful because our adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour (1 Peter 5:8). Your past involvement with these things has left spiritual wounds, and we must repent and renounce them in Jesus’ name.
You mentioned the fear of ritualistic areas, demonic voices, and even the name "Gabriel" being spoken in a disturbing way. This is not of God. Angels are ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation (Hebrews 1:14), and they do not speak in ways that bring confusion, fear, or condemnation. What you are experiencing sounds like demonic deception, and we must stand firmly against it. "Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you" (James 4:7, WEB). The voice you hear is not from the Lord, for God is not the author of confusion but of peace (1 Corinthians 14:33). We must reject these voices and command them to be silent in the name of Jesus Christ.
Your mention of schizophrenia and vivid dreams tied to drug use and trauma is deeply concerning. While we do not discount the reality of mental illness, we also recognize that spiritual oppression can manifest in ways that mimic or exacerbate such conditions. We urge you to seek godly, biblical counseling and medical help if needed, but above all, to cling to the truth of God’s Word. "Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God" (Romans 12:2, WEB). Your mind must be renewed by the washing of the Word, not by the lies of the enemy or the residue of past sins.
You also spoke of the "imperfection of the church" and superstitions like "touch the hem of my garment." While we believe in the power of faith and the authority of Jesus’ name, we must be careful not to place our trust in rituals, objects, or even the traditions of men. Our faith is in Christ alone, not in garments, relics, or human traditions. "Beware lest any man take you captive through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the elements of the world, and not after Christ" (Colossians 2:8, WEB). If you are struggling with legalism or superstition within the church, we pray you find a body of believers who teach the pure, unadulterated Word of God.
Regarding your father and the fear of generational curses or demonic attachment through clothing, we must remember that while sin can have generational consequences, we are not bound by the sins of our fathers if we are in Christ. "The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son" (Ezekiel 18:20, WEB). You are a new creation in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17), and any curse or demonic stronghold can be broken by the blood of Jesus. We renounce any such attachments in His name and declare freedom over you.
Your mention of pornography is another area that must be addressed with urgency. Pornography is a grave sin that defiles the mind, enslaves the soul, and invites demonic influence. Jesus said, "But I tell you that everyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart" (Matthew 5:28, WEB). This sin must be repented of and forsaken, and we must flee from it (1 Corinthians 6:18). If this is a struggle, we urge you to seek accountability and use tools to block access to such content. The Lord can break this stronghold, but you must turn from it completely.
As for your struggles with fatigue, numbness, and lack of motivation, we pray for the Lord’s healing touch upon your body and mind. While antidepressants can be a tool God uses, ultimate healing comes from Him. "He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds" (Psalm 147:3, WEB). We ask the Lord to restore your strength, renew your mind, and fill you with His peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7).
Finally, your mention of persecution and mistreatment in Japan is a reminder that the world will often reject those who do not conform to its patterns. But Jesus warned us, "If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you" (John 15:18, WEB). Our identity is in Christ, not in the approval of men. We pray for God’s protection over you and for His comfort in the face of mistreatment.
Now, let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Your child who is under such heavy spiritual attack. Lord, we thank You that You are a God of deliverance, a stronghold in times of trouble, and a refuge from the storm. We ask You to break every chain of demonic oppression, every stronghold of fear, and every lie of the enemy that has taken root in this precious soul. Lord Jesus, You have already triumphed over the powers of darkness, and we claim that victory now.
We renounce every sin—drug use, pornography, superstition, and any other ungodly practice—that has given the enemy a foothold. We ask for Your forgiveness and cleansing, Lord, and we declare that the blood of Jesus covers every sin and breaks every curse. We command every demonic spirit—whether of fear, confusion, addiction, or torment—to leave now in the name of Jesus Christ. We bind the spirits of schizophrenia, PTSD, and every form of mental and spiritual oppression, and we declare that Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, will guard this heart and mind in Christ Jesus.
Lord, we pray for healing—spiritually, mentally, and physically. Restore this body, renew this mind, and fill this soul with Your Holy Spirit. Break the power of vivid dreams and nightmares, and let Your angels encamp around this person to protect and minister to them. We pray against every generational curse and declare freedom in Jesus’ name. Let no weapon formed against this child prosper, and let every tongue that rises against them be condemned (Isaiah 54:17).
Father, we ask for godly wisdom and discernment. Lead this person to a Bible-believing church where they can be nourished in Your Word and surrounded by brothers and sisters in Christ who will uplift and encourage them. Give them the strength to resist temptation and to walk in victory over sin. Fill them with Your joy, Your peace, and Your purpose.
We also lift up the struggles with fatigue and lack of motivation. Lord, we ask that You would restore energy, passion, and a desire to serve You. Let them find their strength in You, for You are their refuge and fortress (Psalm 91:2).
Finally, Lord, we pray for protection from all forms of persecution and mistreatment. Let this person walk in the confidence of their identity in Christ, knowing that they are Your beloved child. Surround them with Your favor as with a shield, and let them experience Your providence and progress in every area of their life.
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your power, Your love, and Your faithfulness. May Your will be done in this situation, and may Your name be glorified. In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord daily through prayer, reading His Word, and fellowshipping with believers. Put on the whole armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18) to stand against the schemes of the devil. Memorize Scripture to combat the lies of the enemy, and remember that greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). Stay sober-minded, vigilant, and rooted in Christ. You are not alone in this battle—Jesus is with you, and He has already won the victory. Walk in that truth, and do not let the enemy steal your hope. The Lord is your strength and your song, and He will bring you through this storm.
