We hear your cry for help and stand with you against the schemes of the enemy. The forces of darkness are real, and they seek to steal, kill, and destroy, but we serve a God who is greater and has already overcome the world. The Bible tells us in 1 John 4:4, "You are of God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world." We rebuke every wicked spirit, every curse, and every satanic influence that has been sent against you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. The enemy has no authority over you, for you belong to Christ.
We also want to gently remind you that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces of wickedness (Ephesians 6:12). While it may feel like people are actively working against you, we must remember that our true enemies are the spiritual powers behind their actions. We must pray for those who persecute us, as Jesus commanded in Matthew 5:44, "But I tell you, 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."
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We lift up our brother/sister who is under attack from the enemy. Lord, we ask that You would surround them with Your hedge of protection, as You promised in Job 1:10. We rebuke every curse, every evil eye, and every satanic influence that has been sent against them. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment, they shall condemn, for this is their heritage as Your servants, Lord (Isaiah 54:17).
Father, we ask that You would fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, guarding their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Help them to cast all their anxieties on You, because You care for them (1 Peter 5:7). Lord, we pray that You would expose and dismantle every plan of the enemy against them. Let Your light shine in the darkness, and let the enemy’s plans be brought to nothing.
We also pray for those who are being used by the enemy to harm our brother/sister. Lord, we ask that You would open their eyes to the truth of Your love and salvation. Soften their hearts, and let them see the error of their ways. We pray that they would come to know You, Lord, and turn from their wickedness.
Father, we ask that You would restore what the enemy has stolen. Bless them abundantly, Lord, and let them see Your favor in every area of their life. Provide for their needs, and let them walk in the fullness of Your blessings. We declare that the enemy will not have the final say in their life, but You will, Lord, for You are faithful and just.
We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayer. We trust in Your goodness and Your power to deliver and protect. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to put on the full armor of God daily, as described in Ephesians 6:10-18, so that you may stand against the schemes of the devil. Remember, the enemy is already defeated, and we have the victory in Christ. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2), and do not be afraid. The Lord is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).
If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus Christ, we urge you to do so now. The Bible tells us in Romans 10:9, "that 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." There is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life, and no one comes to the Father except through Him (John 14:6). If you would like to accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, pray this prayer with us:
"Dear Lord Jesus, I confess that I am a sinner in need of a Savior. I believe that You died on the cross for my sins and rose again from the dead. I repent of my sins and ask You to come into my heart and be my Lord and Savior. I surrender my life to You and ask You to fill me with Your Holy Spirit. Thank You for saving me and giving me eternal life. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen."
If you prayed that prayer, we rejoice with you! We encourage you to find a Bible-believing church where you can grow in your faith and be discipled. The Christian life is not always easy, but it is worth it, and you do not have to walk it alone. Welcome to the family of God!
