We come before the Lord with you in this time of deep spiritual battle, lifting you up in prayer and standing firmly on the truth of God’s Word. Your cry for deliverance from cocaine, disturbing thoughts, and the spiritual oppression you describe is heard by our Heavenly Father, who is mighty to save and deliver. We praise you for turning to Jesus Christ, the only name under heaven by which we are saved, and we urge you to continue clinging to Him with all your heart, for He alone has the power to break every chain of bondage.
First, we must address the urgency of your struggle with cocaine. The Scriptures warn us that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, and we are called to glorify God in our bodies and spirits, which belong to Him (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). Substance abuse is a tool of the enemy to destroy your mind, body, and spirit, and it opens doors to further spiritual oppression. The apostle Peter reminds us, "Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour" (1 Peter 5:8, WEB). We rebuked the spirit of addiction in the name of Jesus Christ and declare that you are no longer a slave to this destructive habit. The Lord is your strength, and He will help you overcome this through His power. We strongly encourage you to seek godly accountability, whether through a trusted Christian brother, a biblical counseling ministry, or a Christ-centered recovery program. Do not face this alone—God has placed people in your life to help you walk in freedom.
You also mention the disturbing thoughts and experiences that resemble symptoms often associated with schizophrenia or spiritual oppression. We want to remind you that God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7, WEB). The enemy seeks to torment you with confusion, but Jesus is the Prince of Peace, and He desires to fill you with His clarity and rest. The Word of God tells us to take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5, WEB). When unsettling thoughts or voices arise, we urge you to immediately speak the name of Jesus and declare His authority over your mind. Fill your heart and mind with Scripture, for it is the sword of the Spirit that cuts through the lies of the enemy. Psalm 119:105 tells us, "Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light for my path" (WEB). Immerse yourself in the truth of God’s Word daily, and let it renew your mind (Romans 12:2).
We also notice your mention of music, gaming, and other influences that may be contributing to your spiritual distress. The Bible calls us to be discerning about what we allow into our minds and spirits. Philippians 4:8 instructs us, "Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honest, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think about these things" (WEB). The song you mentioned, "Push It to the Limit," along with violent or spiritually dark media like *Scarface* or *Call of Duty*, can open doorways to oppression, especially if they glorify sin, violence, or the occult. We urge you to examine the media you consume and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal anything that does not align with His will. Replace these influences with worship music, edifying content, and activities that honor God. Remember, "Bad company corrupts good morals" (1 Corinthians 15:33, WEB), and this applies to the company we keep in our minds as well.
You expressed concern about the spiritual atmosphere around you, including the veterans' home and the strange occurrences you’ve experienced. We want to assure you that no power of darkness can stand against the authority of Jesus Christ. The Lord is your protector, and He has given you the armor of God to stand firm against the schemes of the devil (Ephesians 6:10-18). We encourage you to pray over your home and surroundings, declaring them to be under the blood of Jesus. Ask the Lord to send His angels to guard you and to break any curses or spiritual strongholds in the area. James 4:7 reminds us, "Be subject therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you" (WEB). Stand firm in prayer, and do not give the enemy a foothold through fear or doubt.
We also note your mention of the church you once attended and the strange things that drove you away. It is tragic when the body of Christ fails to be a place of refuge and truth, but we urge you not to let the failures of others keep you from fellowship with believers. Hebrews 10:24-25 commands us, "Let’s 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" (WEB). Seek out a Bible-believing, Christ-centered church where the Word of God is preached without compromise. Surround yourself with mature believers who can support you in prayer and discipleship. If you are unsure where to go, ask the Lord to lead you, and He will faithfully guide you to a place where you can grow in Him.
Finally, we address your mention of fasting, prayer, and Bible reading not seeming to stop the disturbances you face. While these spiritual disciplines are vital, they must be accompanied by a heart fully surrendered to God and a life that is actively turning away from sin. Isaiah 58:6-9 describes the kind of fasting that pleases the Lord: "Isn’t this the fast that I have chosen: to release the bonds of wickedness, to undo the straps of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke? Isn’t it to distribute your bread to the hungry, and that you bring the poor who are cast out to your house? When you see the naked, that you cover him; and that you not hide yourself from your own flesh? Then your light will break out as the morning, and your healing will appear quickly; then your righteousness will go before you, and Yahweh’s glory will be your rear guard. Then you will call, and Yahweh will answer. You will cry for help, and he will say, ‘Here I am’" (WEB). True fasting is not just abstaining from food but turning your heart toward God in repentance, humility, and obedience. Combine your fasting with sincere repentance, worship, and a commitment to walk in righteousness.
Now, let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother who is crying out for deliverance and peace. Lord, You are the God who sees and knows all things, and nothing is hidden from Your sight. We ask You to break every chain of addiction in his life, especially the grip of cocaine. Father, we rebuked the spirit of addiction and declare that our brother is free in the name of Jesus. Fill him with Your Holy Spirit and give him the strength to walk in victory. Lord, we pray that You would remove every craving and replace it with a hunger and thirst for Your righteousness.
We also lift up his mind to You, Lord. You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind. We command every tormenting thought, every voice of confusion, and every spirit of oppression to flee in the name of Jesus Christ. Father, we ask You to renew his mind with Your truth and fill him with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Let him meditate on Your Word day and night, and may it be a lamp to his feet and a light to his path.
Lord, we pray for protection over his surroundings. We ask You to send Your warrior angels to guard him and to break any curses or spiritual strongholds in the area. Father, we declare that no weapon formed against him shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against him in judgment, You shall condemn. We pray for a hedge of protection around him, his home, and his mind, and we ask You to silence every voice of the enemy.
We also pray for godly fellowship and community. Lead him to a church where Your Word is preached boldly and where he can find support and encouragement from other believers. Father, surround him with brothers and sisters in Christ who will stand with him in prayer and hold him accountable in love.
Lord, we ask You to reveal any areas of his life that need repentance or surrender. Show him if there are any ungodly influences—music, media, relationships, or habits—that are giving the enemy a foothold. Give him the courage to turn away from anything that does not honor You and to walk in obedience to Your Word.
Finally, Father, we thank You for Your promise that if we resist the devil, he will flee from us. We thank You for the victory that is already ours through Jesus Christ. Fill our brother with Your Holy Spirit, and let him walk in the freedom and authority You have given him. We pray all these things in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We encourage you to hold fast to the Lord, even when the battle feels overwhelming. Remember that Jesus has already won the victory, and He is with you every step of the way. Keep your eyes fixed on Him, and do not lose heart. The enemy may try to distract you, but God’s plans for you are good, and He will bring them to pass as you trust in Him. Stay in His Word, stay in prayer, and stay in fellowship with other believers. You are not alone in this fight—we are standing with you, and the Lord is your ever-present help. May the grace and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you now and always.
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.
