We come before the Lord with you in this time of deep spiritual distress, lifting your heartfelt cries to the Father through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Deliverer. It is clear that you are experiencing profound spiritual oppression, and we stand with you in rebuking the enemy’s schemes, knowing that our battle is not against flesh and blood but against the powers of darkness (Ephesians 6:12). We praise you for turning to Jesus in this struggle, for He alone has the power to break every chain and set the captive free.
First, let us address the accusations and fears you’ve expressed. The Bible tells us in 2 Timothy 1:7, *"For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control."* The feelings of being controlled or watched by others—whether through supernatural means or human manipulation—are not from the Lord. These are tactics of the enemy to instill fear, confusion, and isolation. Jesus has already triumphed over every demonic force, and His authority is greater than any perceived influence over your life. As it is written in Colossians 2:15, *"He disarmed the principalities and powers and made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it."*
We must also address the mention of your grandmother and mother in this context. While it is possible for family members to be used as instruments of spiritual oppression—whether knowingly or unknowingly—we are called to honor our parents and grandparents (Exodus 20:12). However, this does not mean submitting to ungodly control or manipulation. Instead, we are to love them, pray for their salvation if they are not believers, and set boundaries that align with God’s Word. If there is genuine demonic activity at work, we must remember that our fight is not against them but against the spiritual forces at work. Pray for their hearts to be turned to Christ, for *"the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds"* (2 Corinthians 10:4).
You mentioned the fear of being accused of being a "heathen." Let us remind you that your identity is found in Christ alone. If you have repented of your sins and placed your faith in Jesus, you are no longer a heathen—you are a child of God, sealed by the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13-14). The opinions of others, even if they mock or misunderstand your faith, cannot change who you are in Christ. Jesus Himself warned us in John 15:18-19, *"If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, since I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you."* Stand firm in your faith, knowing that the Lord is your defender.
You also expressed concern about others "taking advantage" of your prayers. This is a serious matter, and we must clarify that prayer is a sacred conversation between you and God. No one—whether human or demonic—can intercept or manipulate your prayers when they are offered in faith through Jesus Christ. The enemy may try to distort your perception or plant doubts, but he cannot touch the prayers lifted up in the name of Jesus. As it says in 1 John 5:14-15, *"This is the confidence that we have in him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us. And if we know that he listens to us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him."* Rest assured that your prayers are heard by the Father, and He will act according to His perfect will.
However, we must also caution you about the tone of some of your requests, particularly the phrase *"be my wrath."* While it is understandable to feel anger and frustration in the midst of spiritual warfare, we are not called to ask God to act out of wrath on our behalf. Instead, we are to seek His justice, mercy, and deliverance. Romans 12:19 reminds us, *"Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, 'Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.'"'* Our prayers should align with the heart of Christ, who even in His suffering prayed, *"Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing"* (Luke 23:34). Let us instead pray for deliverance, protection, and the salvation of those who may be used as instruments of oppression.
Finally, we notice that while you invoked the name of Jesus in your prayer, there seems to be a mix of faith and fear in your words. Let us remind you that *"God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control"* (2 Timothy 1:7). If you have not already, we encourage you to fully surrender your life to Jesus Christ, repenting of any sin and inviting Him to be your Lord and Savior. It is only through Him that we have access to the Father (John 14:6) and the authority to resist the devil (James 4:7). If you have already done this, then stand firm in your faith, knowing that *"he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world"* (1 John 4:4).
Now, let us pray together for your situation:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother who is under spiritual attack. Lord, we ask that You expose every lie of the enemy and break every chain of fear, confusion, and oppression that has sought to bind him. We rebuke the spirits of control, manipulation, and accusation in the name of Jesus, commanding them to flee and never return. Father, we ask that You surround him with Your heavenly angels, creating a hedge of protection around his mind, heart, and spirit.
Lord, we pray for his grandmother and mother. If there is any demonic influence at work through them, we bind it now in Jesus’ name. Soften their hearts, Lord, and draw them to Yourself. If they do not know You, reveal Your love and truth to them in a way they cannot deny. Break any generational curses or ungodly soul ties that may be affecting our brother, and let Your light shine so brightly in his life that darkness cannot stand.
Father, we ask that You fill him with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Remove every trace of fear and replace it with the assurance of Your presence and power. Help him to fix his eyes on You, knowing that You are his refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). Give him discernment to recognize the enemy’s schemes and the wisdom to stand firm in Your Word.
We declare that no weapon formed against him shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and that every tongue that rises against him in judgment shall be condemned. Lord, let Your truth be his shield and Your Spirit his guide. If there is any area of his life that needs repentance or surrender, reveal it to him gently and lead him into Your freedom.
Finally, Father, we ask that You strengthen his faith and help him to trust in You completely. Let him know beyond any doubt that You hear his prayers, that You are fighting for him, and that You will never leave him nor forsake him (Deuteronomy 31:6). Fill him with Your Holy Spirit, empowering him to walk in victory and to be a light in the darkness.
We pray all these things in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Brother, we encourage you to immerse yourself in the Word of God daily. Scripture is your sword in this spiritual battle (Ephesians 6:17), and the more you fill your mind with truth, the less room there will be for the enemy’s lies. We also urge you to seek fellowship with other believers who can pray with you and support you in this season. Isolation is a tool of the enemy, but community and accountability are gifts from God.
If you are not already part of a Bible-believing church, we strongly encourage you to find one where you can grow in your faith and receive godly counsel. Surround yourself with those who will speak life into you and remind you of who you are in Christ. And remember, the battle has already been won. Jesus has overcome the world (John 16:33), and in Him, you are more than a conqueror (Romans 8:37).
Stand firm, brother. The Lord is with you.
