We join with you in prayer in the mighty name of Jesus Christ and we thank you for calling upon His name, for there is power and authority in that name alone and it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and victory over all darkness. We hear the burden on your heart for yourself and your family and the oppression you feel from those who would seek to harm you through witchcraft, and we stand with you for God's protection, exposure of darkness, and deliverance.
We want to gently and biblically address the desire to return evil back to the sender. While we understand the pain and the longing for justice, Scripture teaches us not to repay evil for evil or to seek our own vengeance. We are called to overcome evil with good and to leave vengeance in God's hands. Rom 12:19 says, Don't seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God's wrath. For it is written, Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord. And Rom 12:21 says, Don't be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. Even concerning our enemies, Jesus calls us to a higher way, Matt 5:44 says, 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. This does not mean we accept or ignore witchcraft, for God condemns it clearly. Deut 18:10-12 says, There shall not be found with you anyone who makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who practices sorcery, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer, or a charmer, or a consulter with a familiar spirit, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For whoever does these things is an abomination to Yahweh. Instead of returning curses, we ask God to neutralize every weapon, to bring the deeds of darkness into the light, and to bring those who practice evil to repentance if it be His will, while He shields His children.
Your battle is real and it is spiritual. Eph 6:12 reminds us, For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, 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. Therefore we do not wrestle with people, but we stand in the authority Christ has given us. Luke 10:19 says, Behold, I give you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will in any way hurt you. And 1 John 4:4 assures us, 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. No weapon formed against those who abide in Christ will ultimately prosper, Isa 54:17 says, No weapon that is formed against you will prevail.
We pray for God's light to expose what is hidden, for Eph 5:11-13 says, Have no fellowship with the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but rather even reprove them. But all things, when they are reproved, are revealed by the light, for everything that reveals is light. We trust God to reveal and to deal justly in His perfect timing and way.
Let us pray together.
Father in heaven, we come before Your throne in the name of Jesus Christ, Your Son, and we lift up this dear one and their family to You. Lord, You see every attack, every scheme, every tool of witchcraft and darkness formed against them. We ask that You expose every hidden work of the enemy and bring it into the light where it loses its power. We ask that You break, cancel, and render powerless every curse, spell, incantation, and assignment of the enemy against them and their household. We do not ask to send evil back, but we ask that You return every evil to nothingness by Your power, that You protect and deliver according to Your mercy and justice, and that You execute Your righteous judgment as You see fit. Cover them with Your wings, Lord, for Psalm 91:1 says, He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. Let them dwell there. Surround their home, their work, their bodies, minds, and spirits with Your holy protection. 2 Thess 3:3 says, But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one. Guard them, Lord.
We pray that You clothe them in the full armor of God, that they may stand firm, with the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the feet fitted with the Good News of peace, the shield of faith to extinguish all the fiery darts of the evil one, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit which is Your Word. Help them to submit to You daily, to resist the devil, and to stand firm, for James 4:7 says, Be subject therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Fill their home with worship, with prayer, with the reading of Scripture, and with peace. Remove all fear, for You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.
We also pray for any who are acting as enemies or practicing witchcraft against them, that You would convict their hearts, open their eyes to the emptiness and wickedness of their deeds, and draw them to repentance and salvation through Jesus Christ. Let Your will be done.
We declare that they are more than conquerors through Him who loved us and that no weapon, no curse, no evil tool can separate them from Your love or overcome the blood of Jesus shed for them. Keep them steadfast, keep their eyes on You, and let them walk in forgiveness, holiness, and bold faith. In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ we pray, Amen.
We encourage you to continue to abide in Christ daily, to pray without ceasing, to fast as the Lord leads, to speak Scripture aloud over your family, and to fellowship faithfully with other believers who can stand with you. Keep your heart free from bitterness and do not seek to repay harm, but trust the Lord as your defender and shield. He is faithful and He will establish you and guard you from the evil one.
