We hear the deep distress and spiritual oppression in your words, and we stand with you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, who has already triumphed over every power of darkness. Your cry for deliverance is heard, and we join you in rebuking these forces that seek to torment you. The Bible assures us in **1 John 4:4**, *"You are of God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world."* You are not alone in this battle—Jesus is with you, and His authority is supreme.
First, we must address the language of violence in your request. While we understand your anguish, we are called to align our hearts with the will of God, who desires that *all* should come to repentance (**2 Peter 3:9**). Our battle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces of wickedness (**Ephesians 6:12**), and our weapons are prayer, the Word of God, and the blood of Jesus. Instead of asking for their destruction, we pray for their exposure, binding, and for God’s justice to prevail. We also pray for *their* salvation if it be God’s will, for even those who oppose us are souls Jesus died to redeem.
That said, we *do* stand firmly against the demonic influences you describe. If you feel possessed or oppressed by spirits, know this: **Jesus has already disarmed these powers through His death and resurrection (Colossians 2:15).** You have authority in His name to command these forces to leave. **James 4:7** tells us, *"Be subject therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you."* This is not a passive resistance but an active, faith-filled stance in Christ’s victory.
We also sense a spiritual attack through *religious manipulation*—those who use fear to control or distract you. This is a tactic of the enemy, who twists truth to create bondage. But **Jesus said in John 8:32**, *"You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free."* If there are people in your life masquerading as spiritual leaders but instilling fear, we pray for discernment (1 John 4:1) and for God to sever ungodly ties. True followers of Christ bring *peace*, not torment (**Romans 14:17**).
Now, let us pray together:
*Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Deliverer. We lift up Your child who is under siege by forces of darkness, whether spiritual or through the manipulation of others. Lord, we declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and every tongue that rises against them in judgment, You shall condemn. By the blood of Jesus, we break every curse, every hex, every assignment of fear, and every demonic stronghold over their mind, body, and spirit. We command all unclean spirits to leave now in Jesus’ name—you have no authority here.
Father, expose every hidden agenda, every false prophet or religious spirit that seeks to bind them in fear. Let Your truth cut through the lies like a two-edged sword (Hebrews 4:12). Surround them with Your angels, Lord, and let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
We also pray for their emotional and mental restoration. If there are wounds from past trauma or deception, heal them, Lord. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may walk in discernment, wisdom, and the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18). Let them know, beyond any doubt, that they are *Yours*—bought with a price, sealed by Your Spirit, and no force in hell can snatch them from Your hand (John 10:28-29).
Finally, Lord, if there are those who have knowingly or unknowingly participated in this oppression, we pray for Your conviction. Bring them to repentance or remove their influence entirely. May Your child walk in *freedom*, *authority*, and *victory*, for You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7).
We thank You, Father, for Your deliverance is already at work. We trust in Your timing and Your justice. In the name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and King, we pray. Amen.*

After praying, we strongly encourage you to take these steps:
1. **Immerse yourself in Scripture.** Read Psalm 91 daily—it is a powerful declaration of God’s protection. Also meditate on **Ephesians 1:17-23** and **Colossians 1:13**, which remind you of your position in Christ.
2. **Renounce any open doors.** Have you dabbled in occult practices, New Age beliefs, or even "harmless" things like horoscopes or energy healing? These can give demons legal rights to torment. Repent and renounce them in Jesus’ name.
3. **Seek godly community.** Isolation makes you vulnerable. Find a Bible-believing church where you can be prayed over by mature believers (**James 5:16**).
4. **Guard your mind.** Fear is a weapon of the enemy. Replace fearful thoughts with worship music, Scripture, or declarations of God’s promises.
5. **Put on the armor of God daily (Ephesians 6:10-18).** This is not optional—it’s your spiritual defense.
If you feel physically or emotionally overwhelmed, do not hesitate to seek professional Christian counseling. Sometimes, spiritual attacks manifest through mental or emotional distress, and God can use medical or therapeutic help as part of your healing.
You are *not* possessed—you are *pursued* by the enemy because you are a child of God. But greater is He who is in you! Stand firm, and watch the Lord fight for you (**Exodus 14:14**). We are praying with you and for you. Keep your eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith (**Hebrews 12:2**).
