We stand firmly in the authority of Jesus Christ, the Name above all names, through whom alone we have access to the Father and the power to overcome every scheme of the enemy. Your request speaks of spiritual warfare, and we take this seriously, for our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12). However, we must approach this with discernment, wisdom, and a heart aligned with God’s Word, for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds (2 Corinthians 10:4).
First, we must address the tone and intent of your request. While we understand the depth of your struggle and the pain caused by those who seek to harm you, Scripture calls us to love our enemies, bless those who curse us, do good to those who hate us, and pray for those who mistreat us (Matthew 5:44). This does not mean we ignore the reality of spiritual warfare, but we must not respond with vengeance or malice, for vengeance belongs to the Lord (Romans 12:19). The plagues of Egypt were God’s judgment upon a nation that had hardened its heart against Him, and we must be careful not to invoke His wrath upon others in a spirit of anger or bitterness. Instead, we are called to overcome evil with good (Romans 12:21).
We also notice the inclusion of terms like "masturbatory homosexuality" and "transexuality," which you ask to be burned to ashes. While we affirm that Scripture is clear about the sinfulness of sexual immorality, including homosexuality and any sexual activity outside the bounds of marriage between one man and one woman (1 Corinthians 6:9-10, Romans 1:26-27, Leviticus 18:22), we must remember that our battle is against the spiritual forces behind these sins, not the individuals trapped in them. Jesus came to seek and save the lost (Luke 19:10), and our response should be one of truth tempered with grace, praying for repentance and redemption rather than destruction. The Lord desires that none should perish but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9).
You mention "evil tongues" and those who speak against you. The Bible warns us about the power of the tongue, for it can be a fire, a world of iniquity, set on fire by hell itself (James 3:6). But we are also called to guard our own tongues, speaking life and blessing rather than cursing (James 3:10). If others are slandering you, we can pray for God to expose their words as false and for Him to vindicate you in His time. The psalmist often cried out to God for deliverance from those who spoke lies against him (Psalm 120:2), and we can do the same, trusting God to be our defender.
We also see that you have included specific references to Exodus 22:18 ("You shall not allow a sorceress to live"), 1 Samuel 2:6 ("Yahweh kills and makes alive"), and other passages. While these verses speak to God’s sovereignty and judgment, we must be careful not to take them out of context or use them to justify personal vengeance. The command in Exodus 22:18 was given to Israel under the Old Covenant as part of their civil and religious law, and it was not a license for personal retribution. As believers under the New Covenant, we are called to trust God to execute justice in His time and in His way. Our role is to pray for those who persecute us and to leave room for God’s wrath (Romans 12:19).
Now, let us pray together in the authority of Jesus Christ, asking for His protection, wisdom, and peace to surround you in this new neighborhood, your family, and your workplace.
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty Name of Jesus Christ, the Name that is above every name, the Name by which we are saved and through which we have access to Your throne of grace. Lord, we lift up this dear one who is facing spiritual warfare on multiple fronts. We ask that You would be a shield around them, their family, and their workplace, protecting them from every evil scheme of the enemy. Father, we know that the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8), but we declare that greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4).
Lord, we ask that You would expose every lying tongue and every false accusation spoken against them. Let the words of their enemies be turned back upon them, and let Your truth prevail in every situation. We pray that You would silence the mouths of those who speak evil and bring their deeds into the light. Father, we ask that You would give this one discernment to recognize the schemes of the enemy and wisdom to respond with grace and truth. Help them to walk in love, even toward those who seek to harm them, knowing that love covers a multitude of sins (1 Peter 4:8).
We also pray for those who are bound by sin, whether it be witchcraft, sexual immorality, or any other form of rebellion against You. Father, we ask that You would break the chains of darkness in their lives and draw them to repentance. Let Your Holy Spirit convict them of sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8), and lead them to the foot of the cross where they can find forgiveness and new life in Jesus Christ. We declare that no weapon formed against this one shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment, You will condemn (Isaiah 54:17).
Lord, we ask that You would fill this one with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus, and let them not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let their requests be made known to You (Philippians 4:6). Father, we ask that You would go before them in this new neighborhood, opening doors of favor and surrounding them with godly friendships. Let Your light shine through them, drawing others to You.
We also pray for their family, that You would strengthen the bonds of love and unity among them. Protect them from division, strife, and any influence of the enemy. Let Your presence be a constant in their home, and let Your Word be a lamp to their feet and a light to their path (Psalm 119:105). For their workplace, we ask that You would give them favor with their colleagues and supervisors. Let Your wisdom guide them in every decision, and let their work be a testimony to Your goodness and grace.
Father, we rebuke every spirit of fear, anxiety, and oppression that has come against this one. We declare that they are more than conquerors through Christ who loves them (Romans 8:37). We break every curse, hex, or spell that has been spoken or sent their way, and we declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We plead the blood of Jesus over them, their family, and their workplace, knowing that the blood of Jesus speaks better things than the blood of Abel (Hebrews 12:24).
Lord, we ask that You would fill them with Your Holy Spirit, empowering them to walk in victory and authority. Let them stand firm in the armor of God, with the belt of truth buckled around their waist, the breastplate of righteousness in place, their feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace, the shield of faith to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is Your Word (Ephesians 6:14-17). Teach them to pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17), and let their life be a living testimony to Your power and love.
Finally, Lord, we ask that You would use this season of warfare to draw this one closer to You. Let them seek Your face with all their heart, and let them find You in a deeper way than ever before. May this trial refine them like gold, and may they emerge stronger, wiser, and more dependent on You. We declare that the gates of hell shall not prevail against them, for they are in Christ, and Christ has overcome the world (John 16:33).
We pray all these things in the mighty and matchless Name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, Savior, and coming King. Amen.
Now, beloved, we encourage you to stand firm in your faith, knowing that God is with you. Do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season you will reap if you do not give up (Galatians 6:9). Surround yourself with godly believers who can pray with you and encourage you. Spend time in God’s Word daily, for it is a lamp to your feet and a light to your path (Psalm 119:105). Let your life be a testimony of God’s grace and power, and trust Him to fight your battles. The Lord will go before you, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:8). Walk in the authority you have in Christ, and remember that the battle belongs to the Lord (1 Samuel 17:47).
