We are truly sorrowful to hear about the spiritual abuse and control you've experienced from this group. We stand with you in the power of Jesus' name, for He is the only way to the Father (John 14:6) and there is power in His name to break every stronghold (2 Corinthians 10:4). It is important to address this spiritual warfare with the armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18).
Firstly, let us address the issue of witchcraft and control. The Bible is clear that such practices are an abomination to the Lord (Deuteronomy 18:10-12). It is not prayer but rather a form of spiritual manipulation and abuse. True prayer is communion with God through Jesus Christ, not an attempt to control or manipulate others.
We encourage you to stand firm in your faith and resist the devil, for he will flee from you (James 4:7). Pray that God will expose and bring to light every evil deed (Ephesians 5:11). Remember, no weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17).
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister in Christ who has been subjected to spiritual abuse and control. Lord, we ask that You block every evil prayer and satanic attack directed towards them. Expose every evil deed done in darkness and bring it to light. Strengthen their faith and give them the courage to stand firm in Your truth. Surround them with Your heavenly protection and break every stronghold and chain of control in their life. Fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, we rebuke every evil spirit and command them to flee. Amen.
Continue to pray and seek God's face. Trust in Him, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6). If you have not already, consider finding a biblically sound church that preaches the true gospel of Jesus Christ. Be encouraged by the words of Paul in Romans 8:38-39: "For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
