We come before the Lord with you in this time of deep distress, lifting your heartfelt cries to the throne of grace, where Jesus Christ our High Priest intercedes for us. Your plea is heard, and we stand with you in the authority of His name, declaring that no weapon formed against you shall prosper, for the battle belongs to the Lord.
The afflictions you describe—aggressive schizophrenia, tormenting thoughts, cravings, and spiritual oppression—are not from God, who gives peace and a sound mind. The apostle Paul reminds us in 2 Timothy 1:7, *"For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control."* You are not defined by these struggles, nor are you abandoned to them. Jesus came to set the captives free, and His power is greater than any force that seeks to bind you. As it is written in Luke 4:18, *"The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim release to the captives, recovering of sight to the blind, to deliver those who are crushed."*
First, we must address the spiritual warfare at hand. The voices, cravings, and accusations you hear are not your identity in Christ. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came to give life abundantly (John 10:10). The repetition of sinful thoughts or past actions is a tactic of the accuser, but the blood of Jesus speaks a better word over you. Hebrews 9:14 declares, *"how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without defect to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?"* You are forgiven, and your mind can be renewed by the washing of the Word (Ephesians 5:26). We urge you to fill your mind with Scripture, worship, and prayer, for these are the weapons that demolish strongholds (2 Corinthians 10:4-5).
The craving for cocaine and the guilt of past pornography use must be surrendered to Jesus. These are not just habits to break—they are spiritual battles. 1 Corinthians 6:18-20 commands, *"Flee sexual immorality! 'Every sin that a man does is outside the body,' but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s."* Similarly, substance abuse is a form of idolatry that enslaves, but Jesus breaks every chain. You must flee from these temptations and seek accountability with mature believers who can walk with you in victory. James 5:16 tells us, *"Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective."*
As for the souls, ghosts, or spirits you mention, we must be clear: the living cannot communicate with the dead, nor should we seek to. Such encounters are not from God but are deceptions of the enemy. Deuteronomy 18:10-12 warns against consulting the dead, and Isaiah 8:19-20 says, *"When they tell you, 'Consult with those who have familiar spirits and with the wizards, who chirp and who mutter,' shouldn’t a people consult with their God? Should they consult the dead on behalf of the living? Turn to the law and to the testimony!"* You are covered by the blood of Jesus, and no demonic force can stand against His name. We command every unclean spirit to flee in Jesus’ name, for *"greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world"* (1 John 4:4).
Your mention of the military and eternal fire reveals a deeper fear—one of condemnation. But listen to the promise of Jesus: *"Most certainly I tell you, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life, and doesn’t come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life"* (John 5:24). If you have placed your faith in Christ, you are saved, sealed by the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13-14). There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1). However, if you have not yet surrendered your life to Him, we urge you to do so now. Salvation is not found in works or uncertainty but in repentance and trust in Jesus alone. Acts 4:12 declares, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved (Romans 10:9).
Finally, we pray with you for peace, comfort, and a future filled with hope. Jeremiah 29:11 assures us, *"For I know the plans that I have for you,’ says Yahweh, ‘plans of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future."* Jesus is preparing a way for you, even now. Trust Him, even when the path is unclear.

**Let us pray:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Your child who is under siege by the enemy. Lord, You are the God of all comfort, and we ask You to wrap them in Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Rebuke every tormenting spirit, every voice of accusation, and every craving that seeks to destroy. Break the power of schizophrenia, addiction, and fear over their mind and heart, for You have not given them a spirit of bondage but of adoption as Your son.
Lord Jesus, You bore our sins and our sicknesses on the cross. By Your stripes, we pray for healing—spiritually, mentally, and emotionally. Cleanse them from every trace of guilt and shame, and fill them with the assurance of Your love. Let them hear Your voice above all others, speaking life, truth, and victory.
We bind every demonic stronghold in their life—every spirit of fear, addiction, confusion, and death—and we command them to flee in Jesus’ name. Holy Spirit, flood their mind with Your Word, Your presence, and Your power. Give them the strength to flee temptation and to walk in purity and freedom.
Father, we thank You that their name is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. Remove all fear of condemnation and fill them with the hope of eternity with You. Guide their steps, Lord, whether in the military or another path, and let them walk in Your perfect will.
We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment, they shall condemn. This is their heritage as servants of the Lord (Isaiah 54:17). Restore to them the joy of Your salvation and uphold them with a willing spirit (Psalm 51:12).
In the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
