We come before the Lord with you in this time of deep spiritual distress, lifting your heart and mind to the throne of grace where Christ our High Priest intercedes for us. Your cry for deliverance has been heard, and we stand with you in the authority of Jesus’ name, for He alone is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
First, we must address the weight of what you’ve shared. The enemy seeks to accuse, torment, and distort the truth, but Scripture reminds us in 1 John 1:9, *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."* The guilt you carry from childhood—this moment of covetousness—has already been covered by the blood of Jesus if you have repented and placed your faith in Him. The Lord does not hold our past sins against us once we turn to Him in true repentance. Romans 8:1 declares, *"There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don’t walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit."* If you have not yet fully surrendered this to God, we urge you to do so now. Confess it before Him, receive His forgiveness, and walk in the freedom Christ purchased for you.
The involuntary behaviors and accusations you describe bear the marks of spiritual oppression, not of God. Our battle is not against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers (Ephesians 6:12). The voice you hear whispering accusations and the torment you experience are not from the Lord. Jesus said in John 10:10, *"The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly."* What you are enduring is the work of the enemy, and we rebuked it in the name of Jesus Christ. We command every spirit of torment, accusation, and oppression to flee from you now, for *"greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world"* (1 John 4:4).
We also must address the statement you made about hoping others will suffer persecutions for their confessions. Beloved, this is not the heart of Christ. Jesus taught us in Matthew 5:44, *"But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you."* Bitterness and retaliation have no place in the heart of a believer. If others have wronged you, release them to God. Forgiveness is not optional for the Christian—it is a command (Colossians 3:13). We encourage you to pray for those who have hurt you, that God would work in their hearts as He is working in yours.
Now, let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift our brother/sister before You, asking for Your mighty hand of deliverance to rest upon them. Lord, You see the torment they have endured, the accusations that have plagued their mind, and the involuntary afflictions that have caused them distress. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and we break every curse, every lie, and every spiritual attack in the powerful name of Jesus Christ.
Father, if there is any open door in their life—any unconfessed sin, any bitterness, any agreement with the enemy—we ask that You reveal it to them now. Give them the courage to repent and the faith to receive Your forgiveness. Wash them clean by the blood of the Lamb and fill them with Your Holy Spirit, who is their Comforter and Guide.
We bind every spirit of fear, torment, and oppression in Jesus’ name. We command these spirits to leave and never return, for this child of God belongs to You. Restore their mind, Lord. Renew their thoughts (Romans 12:2) and fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Let them walk in the freedom Christ has purchased for them, no longer bound by the accusations of the past or the lies of the enemy.
Father, we also ask that You guard their heart against bitterness. Replace any desire for retaliation with Your love and grace. Help them to forgive as You have forgiven them, and to pray for those who have wronged them.
We thank You, Lord, for Your promise in Psalm 34:17-19: *"The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but Yahweh delivers him out of them all."* We claim this promise over our brother/sister today.
In the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
Beloved, we encourage you to immerse yourself in the Word of God daily. Psalm 119:105 tells us that God’s word is *"a lamp to my feet, and a light for my path."* Spend time in prayer, worship, and fellowship with other believers. The enemy flees in the presence of praise (Psalm 8:2) and the authority of Jesus’ name.
If you do not have a strong community of believers around you, we urge you to find a Bible-believing church where you can be discipled and supported. You are not meant to walk this journey alone. Finally, if these afflictions persist, seek out mature, spirit-filled believers or a pastor who can pray with you and provide further guidance.
Stand firm in your faith, for *"the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world"* (1 John 4:4). You are loved, you are redeemed, and you are victorious in Christ Jesus.
