We hear your cry for deliverance and stand with you in fervent prayer, lifting every burden to the throne of grace in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Your plea is not in vain, for the Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). We recognize the depth of your struggle—addiction, spiritual oppression, trauma, and the weight of past sins—and we declare that Jesus is your refuge, your healer, and your deliverer.
First, we rebuke the chains of addiction that have ensnared you. Cocaine, Adderall, and all substances that alter your mind and spirit are tools of the enemy to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). But Jesus came that you might have life, and life abundantly. We command every craving, every attraction to sin, and every demonic influence tied to these addictions to break and loose in Jesus’ name. "No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it" (1 Corinthians 10:13). You are not alone in this battle, and the Lord will provide a way out.
We also rebuke the demonic voices and oppression you have encountered. The enemy seeks to torment you with lies, slurs, and blasphemies, but we declare that you are a child of God, sealed by the Holy Spirit, and no weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). The name of Jesus is above every name, and at His name, every knee must bow (Philippians 2:9-10). We command every demonic spirit to flee from you now in the authority of Jesus Christ. "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you" (James 4:7). You are not abandoned; the Lord is your shield and your fortress (Psalm 91:2).
Your mention of emulation and the trauma from that hike reveals wounds that need the healing touch of Jesus. The enemy would love for you to believe that your past defines you, but we declare that in Christ, you are a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17). The fear and PTSD you describe are not from God, for "God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind" (2 Timothy 1:7). We pray that the Lord would heal your mind, restore your peace, and replace every lie with His truth. You are not a slave to fear; you are a child of God (Romans 8:15).
We also address the sense of betrayal you feel after fasting, praying, and reading the Word. It is understandable to feel disillusioned when the answers seem delayed, but we encourage you to hold fast to your faith. The Lord is not slow in keeping His promises (2 Peter 3:9), and He is working all things together for your good (Romans 8:28). Your labor in the Lord is not in vain (1 Corinthians 15:58). We pray that you would experience His presence in a fresh way, that your hunger for Him would be satisfied, and that you would see the fruit of your faithfulness.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this precious soul who is crying out for deliverance. Lord, You see every chain, every wound, and every lie that has bound them. We ask that You would break every yoke of addiction, every spirit of fear, and every demonic oppression in Jesus’ name. Father, pour out Your healing upon their mind, body, and spirit. Restore what has been stolen and replace their fears with Your perfect peace.
Lord, we declare that this child of Yours is not defined by their past. You have redeemed them, and they are a new creation in Christ. Help them to walk in the freedom that You have purchased for them. Strengthen their faith when they feel weak, and remind them that You are always near. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may know Your love, power, and sound mind.
We thank You, Jesus, for Your providence, Your peace, and the progress You are making in their life. May they continue to draw near to You, and may You draw near to them. We trust in Your faithfulness, Lord, and we declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord with all your heart. Surround yourself with believers who can pray with you and hold you accountable. The road to freedom is not always easy, but it is worth it. Jesus is your deliverer, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5). Keep pressing into Him, and you will see His hand move mightily on your behalf.
