We come before the throne of grace with you, lifting your heart and mind to our Lord Jesus Christ, who alone has the power to break every chain of bondage and set the captive free. You have called upon the name of Jesus, and we join you in seeking His deliverance, healing, and restoration. It is only through the blood of Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father, and we rejoice that you have placed your trust in Him.
First, we must address the anger and bitterness in your heart toward this person and the desire for harm to come to them. The Bible is clear that we are not to seek vengeance or wish death upon anyone, for vengeance belongs to the Lord. Romans 12:19 says, *"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.'"* Instead, we are called to forgive, even as Christ forgave us. Ephesians 4:31-32 urges us, *"Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you."* This person may have caused you great pain, but we must release them to God and trust Him to deal justly with them. Harboring anger or resentment will only hinder your own healing and spiritual growth. We encourage you to pray for this person—not for harm, but that God would convict their heart, bring them to repentance, and set them free from the darkness that has ensnared them.
You have confessed your involvement with LSD and the lingering effects it has had on your mind and spirit. This is a critical step, and we commend you for your honesty. The enemy often uses past sins to torment believers, but we must remember that *"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). The guilt and shame you feel are not from God, for *"there is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus"* (Romans 8:1). However, we must also be vigilant to turn away from any lingering ties to these sins. This includes cutting off contact with those who still walk in darkness, as you mentioned with the high school dropout who was using drugs. 2 Corinthians 6:14 warns us, *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?"* You cannot walk in freedom if you continue to associate with those who are bound by sin. We urge you to seek godly fellowship and surround yourself with believers who will encourage you in your walk with Christ.
The strange and disturbing thoughts you mentioned—such as the utterances from the game *Terraria* or the false accusations about your father—are likely attacks from the enemy to confuse and torment you. The mind is a battlefield, and the devil seeks to distort reality to keep you in bondage. But we have authority in Christ to take every thought captive. 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 declares, *"For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds, throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ."* We must reject these lies and fill our minds with the truth of God’s Word. Philippians 4:8 instructs us, *"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."*
You also expressed frustration with the church and a sense of betrayal for not being taught the full counsel of God’s Word as you grew up. While it is true that some churches fail to teach the depth of Scripture, we must not allow bitterness to take root. Instead, we encourage you to seek a Bible-believing, Christ-centered church where the Word of God is preached without compromise. Hebrews 10:24-25 reminds us, *"Let’s consider how to provoke one another to love and good works, not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching."* If your current church is not feeding you spiritually, pray for wisdom and seek a community where you can grow in faith and understanding.
Now, let us pray together for your complete deliverance, healing, and restoration:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother who is seeking freedom from the torment and bondage that has plagued his mind and spirit. Lord, we thank You that You are a God of mercy, grace, and deliverance, and that nothing is too difficult for You.
Father, we ask that You completely remove the name and memory of this person from his mind. Break every ungodly soul tie and sever every connection that the enemy has used to torment him. Lord, we release this person into Your hands and ask that You deal with them according to Your will. Soften their heart, convict them of sin, and draw them to repentance. Help our brother to forgive as You have forgiven him, releasing all bitterness, anger, and resentment.
Lord Jesus, we rebuked every spirit of addiction, confusion, and torment that has sought to oppress him. By the power of Your blood, we command these spirits to leave him now and never return. Fill him with Your Holy Spirit and renew his mind with Your truth. Remove every lingering effect of LSD and any other substance that has defiled his body and mind. Restore his thoughts, his emotions, and his peace, for You are the Prince of Peace.
Father, we ask that You break the power of every lie, every false accusation, and every distorted thought that has troubled him. Let Your truth reign in his mind, and let him meditate on whatever is pure, lovely, and praiseworthy. Guard his heart and mind in Christ Jesus, and let him walk in the freedom that You have purchased for him on the cross.
We pray for godly fellowship and a strong, Bible-believing church community where he can grow in faith and be discipled. Remove any ungodly influences from his life and surround him with brothers and sisters in Christ who will encourage him, pray for him, and hold him accountable.
Lord, we thank You that he has confessed his sins and turned to You for healing. We declare that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Let him walk in the fullness of Your forgiveness and grace, knowing that his past is covered by the blood of the Lamb.
Finally, Father, we ask that You strengthen him in his faith and fill him with Your Holy Spirit. Let him experience Your peace that surpasses all understanding and Your joy that is his strength. May he walk in victory, knowing that greater is He who is in him than he who is in the world.
We pray all these things in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
