We hear the deep pain, exhaustion, and urgency in your words, and our hearts ache with you. The torment you’ve endured, being used, abused, bullied, and terrorized, is not the life God intends for you or anyone. You are right to cry out for freedom, for peace, and for a way forward that honors your dignity as His beloved child. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came that you might have life, and have it abundantly (John 10:10). Your desire to move forward is not just a human instinct; it is a holy longing for the safety, joy, and restoration only God can provide.
First, we must address the spiritual warfare raging in your words. You are correct that Satan and his schemes are real, but we do not curse him or his followers, we resist him in the authority of Jesus Christ. Scripture tells us, "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you" (James 4:7). The name of Jesus is the most powerful weapon against darkness. When you declare, "The blood of Jesus" over your life and your family, you are invoking the victory already won on the cross. But we must also guard our hearts and words, for the enemy thrives on bitterness and rage. Ephesians 4:26-27 warns, "Be angry, and don’t sin. Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath, neither give place to the devil." Your anger is justified, but we pray it would be surrendered to God, who will judge justly (1 Peter 2:23).
Your mention of "uncommon favor" and "joy" is a beautiful declaration of faith, but we must ground these truths in God’s Word. Psalm 30:5 says, "Weeping may stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning." This is not a promise of immediate relief, but of God’s faithfulness to turn mourning into dancing. We pray that as you step into this new season, you would experience His peace that surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:7). However, we must also caution against relying solely on declarations without corresponding action. Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." Moving forward will require wisdom, prayer, and perhaps even practical steps like seeking godly counsel, legal protection, or a safe community.
Your concern for your family, both human and pets, is a reflection of God’s heart for the innocent. We pray that those who wish to leave with you would find the courage and resources to do so, and that those who stay would be protected by the Lord’s hedge of thorns (Hosea 2:6). But we must also gently challenge the idea that "it doesn’t matter" whether they stay or go. Family is a sacred trust, and while you cannot control their choices, you can intercede for them. Ezekiel 33:6 warns, "But if the watchman sees the sword come, and doesn’t blow the trumpet, and the people aren’t warned, and the sword comes and takes any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at the watchman’s hand." Your role is to warn them in love, then entrust them to God.
Now, we must address the absence of Jesus’ name in your original cry for help. While you mention "the blood of Jesus" at the end, the foundation of your plea must begin and end with Him. There is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). Jesus is not just a tool for deliverance; He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:6). If you have not already, we urge you to surrender your life fully to Him, not just as a source of rescue, but as Lord and Savior. Romans 10:9 says, "If you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." This is the first and most critical step toward true freedom.
We also notice the repeated use of profanity in your post, particularly toward Satan and his followers. While your frustration is understandable, Scripture warns us not to "let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen" (Ephesians 4:29). Even in our anger, we are called to speak in a way that reflects Christ. We rebuke the spirit of bitterness and invite the Holy Spirit to cleanse your words and thoughts, replacing them with praise and thanksgiving (Colossians 3:8).
Let us pray for you now:
"Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up our brother/sister who is crying out for deliverance. Lord, You see the years of torment, the nights of terror, and the deep weariness in their soul. We declare that You are the God who sees (Genesis 16:13), the God who hears (Psalm 34:17), and the God who delivers (Psalm 34:19). We ask You to break every chain of oppression, every spirit of fear, and every scheme of the enemy designed to steal their peace. Lord, we plead the blood of Jesus over their life, their family, and their home. Let no weapon formed against them prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and let every tongue that rises against them in judgment be condemned (Isaiah 54:17).
Father, we ask for wisdom and favor as they seek to move forward. Open doors that no man can shut (Revelation 3:8), and provide a place of safety and rest. For their family, we pray that You would soften hearts, grant discernment, and lead them to the path of life (Psalm 16:11). Protect the innocent, Lord, and let Your angels encamp around them (Psalm 34:7).
We rebuke the spirit of bitterness and unforgiveness, and we ask that You would fill their heart with Your love and grace. Help them to forgive those who have wronged them, not for their sake, but for their own freedom (Mark 11:25). Lord, we also ask that You would heal their emotions and renew their mind (Romans 12:2). Let them find their joy and strength in You alone (Nehemiah 8:10).
Above all, we pray that they would draw near to You, Jesus. If they have not already, we ask that they would confess You as Lord and Savior, and that You would write their name in the Lamb’s Book of Life (Revelation 21:27). Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, and let them walk in the fullness of Your peace, power, and purpose.
We thank You, Lord, that You are making a way where there seems to be no way. We trust in Your faithfulness, and we declare that this season of torment is ending. May Your light shine in the darkness, and may Your glory be revealed in their life. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen."
Now, dear one, we urge you to take these practical steps as you move forward:
1. Seek God First: Spend time in prayer and Scripture daily. Psalm 119:105 says, "Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light for my path." Let God’s Word be your guide.
2. Find a Safe Community: Surround yourself with believers who can pray with you, encourage you, and hold you accountable. Hebrews 10:24-25 says, "Let us 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."
3. Seek Wise Counsel: Proverbs 11:14 says, "Where there is no counsel, the people fall, but in the multitude of counselors there is safety." This may include pastors, Christian counselors, or trusted mentors who can help you navigate this transition.
4. Take Legal Steps if Necessary: If you are being harassed or threatened, do not hesitate to involve the authorities. Romans 13:4 says that governing authorities are "God’s servants, for your good."
5. Guard Your Heart: Proverbs 4:23 says, "Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it is the wellspring of life." Be mindful of what you watch, listen to, and speak. Fill your mind with things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and admirable (Philippians 4:8).
6. Forgive: This may be the hardest step, but it is essential for your freedom. Colossians 3:13 says, "Bear with one another, and forgive each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do."
7. Walk in Obedience: As you step into this new season, ask God to show you His will and obey it, even when it’s difficult. John 14:15 says, "If you love me, keep my commandments."
You are not alone in this battle. The Lord is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). We stand with you in prayer, believing that God is moving on your behalf. The enemy may have meant this for evil, but God will turn it around for your good (Genesis 50:20). Your story is not over, it is just beginning. Hold fast to hope, for the God of all comfort is with you.
