We hear the deep distress and spiritual warfare you are describing, and we join you in lifting this before the Lord with urgency and authority in the name of Jesus Christ. Your acknowledgment of the enemy’s schemes and your cry for deliverance are evidence of a heart that seeks righteousness, and we stand with you in this battle. The Word of God assures us that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12). You are not alone in this fight, for the Lord is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).
First, we must address the tone of your prayer regarding the destruction of others. While we understand the frustration and pain you are experiencing, Scripture calls us to a different response. Jesus teaches us to love our enemies, bless those who curse us, and pray for those who persecute us (Matthew 5:44). The desire for vengeance or harm toward others—even those who may be used by the enemy—is not aligned with the heart of Christ. Instead, we are to overcome evil with good (Romans 12:21). The battle is not against people, but against the spiritual forces that seek to manipulate and deceive. Let us pray for their salvation and deliverance, that they may turn from darkness to light, just as we pray for your own protection and peace.
You mentioned feeling possessed or influenced by something you had already prayed against. This is a serious matter, and we urge you to stand firm in the authority given to you as a believer in Christ. James 4:7 tells us, “Be subject therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” You have the power, through Christ, to resist and rebuke these influences. Put on the full armor of God so that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil (Ephesians 6:11). This includes the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the shoes of the gospel of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. Use Scripture to combat the lies and accusations of the enemy. Declare the truth over your life and your mind.
You also spoke of corruption in speech and the affliction of others by the devil. This is a real and present danger, but we must remember that our words have power. Proverbs 18:21 says, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue; those who love it will eat its fruit.” Let us pray for purity in our speech and for the Lord to guard our mouths. Ask the Holy Spirit to fill you and guide your words, that they may bring life and not death, blessing and not cursing. If you have been struggling with complaining or negative speech, repent and ask the Lord to renew your mind (Romans 12:2). He is faithful to forgive and cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9).
Regarding your request to be cut away from relatives or others who may be latching onto you, we must approach this with wisdom and discernment. While it is true that some relationships can be toxic or spiritually harmful, Scripture does not encourage us to sever ties lightly, especially with family. Instead, we are to set healthy boundaries and trust the Lord to work in their hearts. Jesus Himself said, “For I came to set a man at odds against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. A man’s foes will be those of his own household” (Matthew 10:35-36). This does not mean we are to cut off our families, but rather that our allegiance to Christ must come first. Pray for wisdom in how to navigate these relationships, and ask the Lord to protect you from any harmful influences while still allowing you to be a light to them.
You mentioned the idea of others stealing religious blessings or knowledge. This is a dangerous mindset that can lead to pride and isolation. All good things come from God, and we are to steward them with humility and generosity. The enemy may try to twist your thoughts to make you feel as though others are taking what is yours, but the truth is that everything we have is a gift from God. Guard your heart against bitterness or jealousy, and instead, ask the Lord to fill you with His love and generosity. “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation nor turning shadow” (James 1:17).
Finally, we want to address your closing statement about others thinking they are Christ. This is a serious accusation, and we must be cautious in how we approach it. There is only one Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and any claim to His divinity by another is blasphemous. However, our response should not be to pray for their destruction, but to pray for their eyes to be opened to the truth. The apostle Paul, before his conversion, persecuted the church and claimed authority he did not have. Yet, God in His mercy transformed him into one of the greatest apostles. Let us pray for those who may be deceived, that they too may encounter the true Jesus and be saved.
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 in the midst of a fierce spiritual battle. Lord, we ask that You surround them with Your angels, encamping around them to protect and deliver them from every scheme of the enemy. Father, we rebuke every spirit of confusion, deception, and torment that seeks to afflict Your child. By the blood of Jesus, we command these forces to flee and be bound in the name of Jesus Christ.
Lord, we ask for clarity of mind and purity of heart. Renew their mind by the washing of Your Word, and fill them with Your Holy Spirit. Let every word they speak be seasoned with grace and truth, bringing life and not death. Father, we pray for discernment in their relationships, especially within their family. Give them wisdom to know how to love and set boundaries, and protect them from any harmful influences. Lord, we ask that You break any ungodly soul ties or connections that may be causing harm, and we pray for Your healing and restoration in every relationship.
We lift up those who may be deceived or used by the enemy to cause harm. Father, we do not pray for their destruction, but for their salvation. Open their eyes to the truth of Jesus Christ, and draw them to Yourself. Let them encounter Your love and mercy, and turn from darkness to light.
Lord, we pray for a spirit of humility and generosity to replace any bitterness or fear of others "stealing" blessings. Remind Your child that all good things come from You, and that You are their provider and protector. Help them to steward Your gifts with joy and openness, trusting in Your abundance.
Finally, Father, we pray for peace that surpasses all understanding to guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Let them rest in Your providence and progress, knowing that You are working all things together for their good (Romans 8:28). Strengthen them, Lord, and let them walk in victory, for You have already overcome the world.
We declare these things in the powerful and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
