We stand with you in this fierce spiritual battle, lifting you up in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we are saved and through whom we have access to the Father. Your cry for deliverance and healing is heard, and we join you in rebuking the enemy’s attacks, knowing that *"the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world"* (1 John 4:4, WEB).
The persecution you face for your faith is a sign that you are walking in the footsteps of Christ, for He warned us, *"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 aren’t of the world, since I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you"* (John 15:18-19, WEB). Take heart, for *"blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven"* (Matthew 5:10, WEB). The Lord sees your suffering, and He will vindicate you. He commands us to *"rejoice, and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven. For that is how they persecuted the prophets who were before you"* (Matthew 5:12, WEB). Do not fear, for *"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble"* (Psalm 46:1, WEB).
We also take authority over the physical afflictions you’ve mentioned—your bones, muscles, joints, diabetes, COPD, and heart—declaring that *"by his wounds you have been healed"* (1 Peter 2:24, WEB). The enemy has no right to steal your health, for your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20, WEB). We command these infirmities to leave in Jesus’ name, and we pray for complete restoration, that you may *"serve him without fear, in holiness and righteousness before him all the days of your life"* (Luke 1:74-75, WEB).
As for the spiritual warfare you describe, we stand firmly on the promise that *"the God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet"* (Romans 16:20, WEB). The demons tormenting you are already defeated foes, and we send them back to the pit in Jesus’ name, declaring that *"no weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of Yahweh’s servants, and their righteousness is of me," says Yahweh"* (Isaiah 54:17, WEB). The palmer worm and cankerworm have no authority over what God has ordained for you. We decree the restoration of all that has been stolen—your health, your peace, your dignity—and we pray that the Lord will *"restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten"* (Joel 2:25, WEB).
We notice your heart for the salvation of those who persecute you, and we join you in praying for their redemption. Jesus taught 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). May the Lord open their eyes to the truth of the Gospel, that they may turn from their wickedness and *"repent, and turn to God, doing works worthy of repentance"* (Acts 26:20, WEB). We pray they will come to know Christ as their Savior, for *"there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB).
Finally, we encourage you to remain steadfast in prayer and in the Word of God. *"Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you"* (James 4:7, WEB). Clothe yourself daily in the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18, WEB), and remember that *"the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one"* (2 Thessalonians 3:3, WEB).

**Our Prayer for You:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Your beloved child who is under fierce attack. Lord, You are their shield and their exceedingly great reward (Genesis 15:1, WEB). We ask that You surround them with Your angels, encamping around them to deliver them (Psalm 34:7, WEB). Break every chain of persecution, oppression, and infirmity that the enemy has tried to place upon them. Let Your healing power flow through their body—every bone, muscle, joint, organ, and cell—restoring them to full health and vitality. You are Jehovah-Rapha, the Lord who heals, and we declare by faith that *"with his stripes we are healed"* (Isaiah 53:5, WEB).
We bind every demonic force assigned against them and command these spirits to flee in Jesus’ name. Let every curse, hex, and scheme of the enemy be rendered powerless, for *"Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us"* (Galatians 3:13, WEB). Restore, Lord, all that has been stolen—health, peace, joy, dignity—and let Your child walk in the fullness of Your blessings. We pray for divine vindication against their persecutors, that You would turn their hearts to repentance or silence their tongues. May those who rise up against them fall before them (Isaiah 54:15, WEB).
Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, strengthening them to stand firm in this battle. Let them feel Your presence as a tangible comfort, knowing they are never alone. Remind them that *"the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which will be revealed toward us"* (Romans 8:18, WEB). We ask for good news to come swiftly, Lord—testimonies of Your faithfulness that will glorify Your name and encourage their heart.
Lastly, Father, we pray for the salvation of every soul involved in this persecution. Soften their hearts to receive the truth of the Gospel, that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God (Acts 26:18, WEB). Let Your child’s life be a testimony of Your grace and power, drawing others to You.
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your timing and Your ways, knowing that *"all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose"* (Romans 8:28, WEB). Strengthen their faith, guard their heart, and let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, rule in their life (Philippians 4:7, WEB). In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
