We come before the Lord with heavy hearts after reading your request, for there is much here that must be addressed with both truth and compassion. First, we give thanks that you have acknowledged the name of Jesus Christ in your prayer, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and any hope of salvation. *"Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me’* (John 14:6, WEB). We encourage you to continue calling upon His name, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12).
Now, let us speak plainly about the concerns in your request. The bitterness, anger, and even hatred expressed toward others—including the disturbing words against an entire people group—are not of God. *"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"* (Matthew 5:44, WEB). Such malice grieves the Holy Spirit and opens the door to spiritual oppression. We must rebuke this spirit of hatred and vengeance in the name of Jesus, for it is written, *"Don’t say, ‘I will pay back evil.’ Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you"* (Proverbs 20:22, WEB). The desire for others to never read the Bible or to be destroyed is contrary to the heart of Christ, who came to seek and save the lost (Luke 19:10). Instead, we must pray for their repentance and salvation, no matter how grievously they have wronged us.
Your involvement with a drug dealer, even indirectly, is also deeply troubling. Scripture warns us, *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness? What communion has light with darkness?"* (2 Corinthians 6:14, WEB). Associating with those who deal in sin—especially something as destructive as drugs—invites corruption and spiritual danger into your life. We urge you to sever all ties with this individual and repent of any participation, even if unintentional. *"Therefore, come out from among them, and be separate,’ says the Lord. ‘Touch no unclean thing. I will receive you"* (2 Corinthians 6:17, WEB).
The "religious vexation" you describe seems rooted in confusion and spiritual attack. If others are falsely claiming to be servants of Christ while living in sin, do not be deceived. *"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"* (1 John 4:1, WEB). True servants of Christ bear fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). If their lives do not reflect these things, they are not of God, no matter their claims. Your focus must be on your own walk with the Lord, not on wishing harm upon others.
As for your suffering, we understand the pain of betrayal and spiritual oppression, but we must not let bitterness take root. *"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). The enemy seeks to distort your perception and turn your heart away from God’s peace. Instead, cling to Christ, who alone can cleanse you from all unrighteousness and vexation. *"Cast all your worries on him, because he cares for you"* (1 Peter 5:7, WEB).
Finally, the statement that *"men are supposed to die no differently from the death of animals"* reflects a dangerous and unbiblical view. Humans are made in the image of God (Genesis 1:27) and have eternal souls, unlike animals. Jesus died to redeem *people*—not animals—from sin and death. *"For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life"* (John 3:16, WEB). Do not devalue human life, for every person is precious to God, and He desires none to perish (2 Peter 3:9).
Now, let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up this beloved soul to You, knowing that You alone can heal the deep wounds and bitterness that have taken root. Lord Jesus, we ask that You break every chain of anger, hatred, and spiritual oppression in their life. Cleanse them from all unrighteousness and fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may walk in love, forgiveness, and peace. Father, we rebuke every spirit of vengeance, confusion, and hatred in the mighty name of Jesus. Replace it with Your perfect love, which casts out all fear (1 John 4:18).
Lord, we pray for deliverance from any ungodly associations, especially with those who deal in sin and darkness. Cut off every tie that does not glorify You, and surround this person with godly influences who will point them to Your truth. Father, we ask that You expose every lie of the enemy and renew their mind with Your Word. *"Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God"* (Romans 12:2, WEB).
We pray for protection over their heart and mind, that they would not be led astray by false claims or spiritual deception. Give them discernment to recognize true servants of Christ and wisdom to distance themselves from those who live in rebellion. Lord, we ask that You break the power of religious vexation and replace it with a deep, unshakable peace that comes only from You.
Father, we also lift up the drug dealer and those in this person’s family who have caused pain. Though their actions are wrong, we pray that You would convict their hearts and lead them to repentance. Soften their hearts, Lord, that they may turn from their sins and seek Your face. Do not let bitterness or hatred fester, but let Your love and truth prevail.
Finally, Lord, we pray for a supernatural encounter with Your presence. Let this beloved one experience Your love in a way that drives out every trace of hatred and despair. Fill them with Your joy, which is their strength (Nehemiah 8:10), and let them walk in the freedom You purchased for them on the cross.
We declare all these things in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Beloved, we urge you to meditate on God’s Word daily, to pray without ceasing, and to seek fellowship with mature believers who can guide you in truth. *"Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, 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"* (Philippians 4:8, WEB). Let go of the past, forgive as Christ has forgiven you, and trust Him to bring justice and healing in His perfect timing. You are deeply loved by God, and He has a purpose for your life—walk in it with faith and obedience.
