We come before the Lord with you in this time of deep spiritual distress, lifting your cries to the throne of grace where Jesus Christ, our High Priest, intercedes for us. You have called upon the name of Jesus, and that is where your victory lies—for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved, and no curse or scheme of the enemy can stand against the power of His blood. We stand firmly on the truth of Scripture, which declares in **Galatians 3:13-14 (WEB)**, *"Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. For it is written, 'Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree,' that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Christ Jesus; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith."* You are redeemed from every curse—whether generational, spoken, or orchestrated by the enemy—because Christ bore it all on the cross. His sacrifice has broken every chain, and His resurrection has sealed your authority over the powers of darkness.
Your mention of a "false sneeze" and the theft of what you perceive as a gift of the Spirit reveals a battle not just in the physical realm but in the spiritual. The enemy seeks to counterfeit the work of God to create confusion, fear, and distraction. But we must test every spirit, as **1 John 4:1 (WEB)** commands: *"Beloved, don’t believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world."* If what you experienced was not of God, it was not the Holy Spirit. The Spirit of God brings peace, clarity, and the fruit of righteousness—not chaos, theft, or mockery. We urge you to reject any manifestation that does not align with Scripture and to cling to the truth that the Holy Spirit is a Spirit of order, not confusion (**1 Corinthians 14:33**).
You also speak of someone in your life—referred to in your request—who appears to be actively opposing your spiritual growth. The Bible warns us in **Matthew 10:36 (WEB)** that *"a man’s enemies will be those of his own household."* If this person is indeed hindering your walk with Christ, we must pray for their salvation or repentance, but also for your protection and deliverance. **Psalm 140:1-4 (WEB)** cries out, *"Deliver me, Yahweh, from the evil man. Preserve me from the violent man: those who devise mischief in their hearts. They continually gather themselves together for war. They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent. Their poison is like the venom of a snake. Yahweh, keep me from the hands of the wicked. Preserve me from the violent men who have determined to trip my feet."* We plead the blood of Jesus over your life and declare that no weapon formed against you shall prosper (**Isaiah 54:17**).
Your mention of confession followed by repeated attacks is a tactic of the enemy to keep you in bondage to shame and condemnation. But **1 John 1:9 (WEB)** assures us, *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."* Once you have confessed, the matter is settled in heaven—do not allow the accuser to replay it before you. **Romans 8:1 (WEB)** 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."* Stand firm in this truth: your confession is heard, your sins are forgiven, and you are cleansed by the blood of the Lamb.
As for the "revenge from the church," we must address this with both discernment and caution. The Church, as the body of Christ, is called to be a place of refuge, healing, and truth. However, where there are people, there is also the potential for sin, corruption, and even witchcraft disguised as religion. **Acts 20:29-30 (WEB)** warns, *"I know that after my departure, vicious wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Men will arise from among your own selves, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them."* If you have encountered those within the church who have harmed you spiritually, we pray for their exposure and repentance, and for your complete deliverance from their influence. But we also urge you to seek out a biblical, Spirit-filled church where the Word of God is preached without compromise and where you can find true fellowship and accountability.
Now, let us pray together over these matters:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You that Your Word declares we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us (**Romans 8:37**). Lord, we lift up Your child who is under attack from the enemy—through generational curses, spiritual counterfeits, and the schemes of those who seek to hinder their walk with You. Father, we plead the blood of Jesus over every curse, every hex, every spell, and every assignment of the enemy against this beloved one. By the authority of Jesus Christ, we break every generational curse, every bloodline iniquity, and every demonic stronghold in their life. We declare that Christ has redeemed them from the curse of the law, and no weapon formed against them shall prosper.
Lord, we rebuke every false manifestation, every counterfeit sneeze, every mocking spirit, and every attempt of the enemy to steal, kill, or destroy what You have given. Holy Spirit, fill them afresh with Your power, Your peace, and Your discernment. Expose every lie of the enemy and replace it with Your truth. Father, we ask that You would sever every ungodly soul tie and break every assignment of witchcraft, jealousy, or revenge that has been sent against them—whether from within the church or outside of it. Cleanse them from every defilement, and let Your living water wash over them until they are wholly restored.
We pray for the person who has sought to hinder their spiritual progress. Lord, if they are unsaved, convict their heart and draw them to repentance. If they are a believer who has been deceived or is operating in rebellion, expose their sin and bring them to a place of brokenness before You. Protect Your child from their schemes, and let no weapon they form succeed. Surround them with Your angels, and let Your favor be a shield around them.
Father, we ask for a fresh infilling of the Holy Spirit—one that cannot be counterfeited or stolen. Let Your gifts operate in their life with power and purity. Deliver them from the cycle of confession and condemnation, and let them walk in the freedom and victory that Christ has already won. Remove every trace of vexation, every disgusting thing the enemy has tried to associate with them, and restore their mind, body, and spirit to wholeness.
Lord, lead them to a church that preaches Your Word without compromise, where they can grow in faith and find true community. Give them discernment to recognize Your voice and Your leading, and protect them from every false teaching and false spirit.
We thank You, Father, for Your peace that surpasses all understanding, for Your providence that supplies every need, and for the progress You are working in their life. We declare that no scheme of the enemy will prevail, for greater is He who is in them than he who is in the world (**1 John 4:4**). We ask all these things in the mighty, matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Redeemer. Amen.
Beloved, we encourage you to stand firm in your faith, putting on the whole armor of God (**Ephesians 6:10-18**). Do not give the enemy a foothold through fear, unbelief, or bitterness. Forgive those who have wronged you, trust in the Lord’s justice, and keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith (**Hebrews 12:2**). You are not fighting for victory—you are fighting from victory, because Christ has already triumphed over every power and principality (**Colossians 2:15**). Walk in that truth, and do not look back. The Lord is with you, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (**Deuteronomy 31:6**). Keep pressing forward, and trust that He who began a good work in you will complete it (**Philippians 1:6**).
