We come before the Lord with you, ###, lifting your heart and mind to the throne of grace, where we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. You have called upon the name of Jesus Christ, and we rejoice that you recognize He alone is your Savior and Deliverer. There is power in the name of Jesus, for 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 by His authority that we stand against the schemes of the enemy and claim victory over the spiritual battles you are facing.
Your struggles are not unseen by God. The spirit of revenge, the tormenting thoughts, the physical sensations that seem to mock your faith—these are not from the Lord. *"For God hasn’t given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control"* (2 Timothy 1:7, WEB). What you are experiencing is the work of the enemy, who seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). But Jesus has already overcome the world, and *"the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world"* (1 John 4:4, WEB). We must stand firm in this truth and resist the devil, knowing that he will flee from us as we submit to God (James 4:7).
First, let us address the spirit of revenge. This is a dangerous and destructive force that grieves the Holy Spirit. Scripture warns us, *"Don’t say, ‘I will pay back evil.’ Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you"* (Proverbs 20:22, WEB). Revenge is not ours to take; it belongs to the Lord (Romans 12:19). If there is bitterness or unresolved anger in your heart, we urge you to release it to Jesus. Ask Him to fill you with His love and forgiveness, for *"if you don’t forgive others, neither will your Father forgive your offenses"* (Matthew 6:15, WEB). Let us pray together for the Lord to break this spirit off you and replace it with His peace.
The physical and mental torment you describe—feeling as though someone else is controlling your movements, the fear of stolen knowledge, the paranoia—these are manifestations of spiritual oppression. The enemy is attempting to distort your perception of reality and undermine your faith in the power of prayer. But we know that *"the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds"* (2 Corinthians 10:4, WEB). The Lord’s Prayer you wrote in Japanese is a powerful declaration of faith, and the enemy fears the Word of God in any language. Do not let him convince you otherwise. The Bible tells us that *"the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword"* (Hebrews 4:12, WEB). Cling to Scripture, speak it aloud, and let it be a lamp to your feet and a light to your path (Psalm 119:105).
We also note your mention of past drug use and the isolation you’ve experienced. While we praise God that you have not been in contact with those influences for four years, we recognize the loneliness that can come from separation. But take heart, for Jesus said, *"I will never leave you or forsake you"* (Hebrews 13:5, WEB). He is your ever-present help, and He desires to fill the void in your life with His love and purpose. We encourage you to seek fellowship with believers who can support you in your walk. *"Let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good works, not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as you see the Day approaching"* (Hebrews 10:24-25, WEB). Isolation can leave us vulnerable to the enemy’s attacks, but in community, we find strength and accountability.
Regarding the book you mentioned, *"an MBA in a Day,"* if it introduced ideas or curses that have opened doors to spiritual oppression, we renounce those influences in the name of Jesus. Anything that exalts control outside of God’s sovereignty is contrary to His Word. *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight"* (Proverbs 3:5-6, WEB). We break any curses or agreements made knowingly or unknowingly through that book and declare that your mind is renewed by the Word of God (Romans 12:2).
Finally, we want to address the grammatical and identity confusion you mentioned. The enemy seeks to distort your sense of self and your relationship with God. But you are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), and your identity is found in Christ alone. You are ###, a child of God, redeemed by the blood of Jesus. The enemy has no authority to redefine you or steal what God has declared over your life. *"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).
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother ### to Your throne of grace. Lord, we thank You that ### has called upon the name of Jesus, and we declare that there is power in that name to save, heal, and deliver. Father, we ask that You break every spirit of revenge, bitterness, and unforgiveness that may be lingering in ###’s heart. Fill him with Your love and forgiveness, and help him to release any desire for vengeance into Your hands. Remind him that vengeance belongs to You, and You alone will repay.
Lord, we rebuke every tormenting spirit that is attempting to control ###’s mind and body. We declare that ###’s body is a temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19), and no weapon formed against him shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We break the power of every lying spirit that seeks to convince him that his prayers are ineffective or that he is not heard by You. Father, let ### feel Your presence tangibly and know that You are working all things together for his good (Romans 8:28).
We renounce any curses, agreements, or influences that have come through the reading of that book or any other ungodly source. We declare that ###’s mind is renewed by Your Word and that he walks in the freedom and authority of Christ. Father, we ask that You restore his peace and soundness of mind. Let him rest in the assurance that You are sovereign over all things, including his thoughts and his future.
Lord, we pray for ###’s social and emotional needs. You created us for fellowship, and we ask that You lead him to a community of believers who can encourage him, pray with him, and walk alongside him. Break the spirit of isolation and fill the void with Your love and purpose. Help him to find joy in Your presence and in the relationships You ordain for him.
Father, we also pray for complete healing for ###, if it is Your will. We thank You for the healing You have already brought and ask that You continue to restore her body, mind, and spirit. Let Your healing power be a testimony to Your goodness and mercy.
Finally, Lord, we ask that You protect ### from every form of spiritual attack, including grammar attacks, identity confusion, and self-centeredness. Ground him in the truth of who he is in Christ and let him walk in the confidence of his identity as Your beloved child. We declare that no weapon formed against him shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against him in judgment, You shall condemn (Isaiah 54:17).
We thank You, Father, for Your faithfulness and for the victory we have in Jesus Christ. We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
###, we encourage you to continue seeking the Lord daily through prayer, Scripture, and worship. Put on the whole armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18) and stand firm in your faith. The enemy may try to distract you, but *"submit therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you"* (James 4:7, WEB). You are not alone in this battle; we are standing with you in prayer, and the Lord is fighting for you. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). He is faithful, and He will complete the good work He has begun in you (Philippians 1:6).
