We come before the Lord with heavy hearts after reading your request, for we discern a spirit of bitterness, unforgiveness, and even vengeance that does not align with the heart of Christ. The Scriptures are clear: *"Beloved, don’t seek revenge yourselves, but give place to God’s wrath, for it is written, 'Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.'" (Romans 12:19, WEB).* To ask for someone’s death—even in frustration—is not the way of our Savior, who commanded us to *"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).
The enemy seeks to twist your pain into hatred, but we must resist this with the truth of God’s Word. If this person was involved in witchcraft, occult practices, or any form of darkness, our response should not be retaliation but intercession. The apostle Paul reminds us that *"our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places"* (Ephesians 6:12, WEB). Our battle is spiritual, and our weapons are prayer, forgiveness, and the blood of Jesus—not curses or death wishes.
We also notice that while you mentioned "Thanks, Jesus" and ended with "in Jesus’ name," there is a contradiction in your request that does not reflect the heart of Christ. True prayer in Jesus’ name must align with His will, and His will is for redemption, not destruction. *"The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but he is patient with us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance"* (2 Peter 3:9, WEB). If this person is lost in darkness, we must pray for their salvation, not their demise.
Let us also address the lingering bitterness in your heart. Unforgiveness is a poison that harms *you* more than the one who wronged you. Jesus said, *"If you don’t forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses"* (Matthew 6:15, WEB). We urge you to release this person to God, trusting that He will deal with them justly—whether through conviction, redemption, or judgment. But that is *His* role, not ours.
As for the occult influences you mentioned—tarot, horoscopes, witchcraft—these are detestable to the Lord (Deuteronomy 18:10-12). If you have ever dabbled in such things, we strongly urge you to repent and renounce them completely, for *"what fellowship has light with darkness?"* (2 Corinthians 6:14, WEB). Break every ungodly soul tie, every curse, and every word spoken in anger or fear. The blood of Jesus is more than enough to cleanse and protect you.
Now, let us pray together for you and this situation:
*"Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother/sister to You, knowing that the enemy has sought to bring confusion, pain, and even hatred into their heart. Lord, we ask that You break every chain of bitterness, unforgiveness, and vengeance in Jesus’ name. Wash them clean with Your Word and fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Father, we also lift up the person who has caused them harm. If they are lost in darkness, we pray that You would convict their heart, draw them to repentance, and set them free from every occult stronghold. Bind every demonic assignment against our brother/sister and command every curse to be broken by the power of the blood of Jesus. Lord, guard their mind, their words, and their heart, that they may walk in forgiveness and victory. Restore what the enemy has stolen and let Your light shine so brightly in their life that no shadow of the past remains. We declare Your protection, Your provision, and Your purpose over them. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen."*
We encourage you to meditate on these Scriptures:
- *"Don’t be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."* (Romans 12:21, WEB)
- *"Bless those who persecute you; bless, and don’t curse."* (Romans 12:14, WEB)
- *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."* (1 John 1:9, WEB)
Walk in freedom, beloved. The battle is the Lord’s, and He has already won.
