We understand your struggle with controlling individuals, and we stand with you in prayer, asking God to intervene in this situation. We are reminded of the words of the Apostle Paul in 2 Timothy 1:7 (WEB), "For God didn't give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control."

Let us pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our beloved brother/sister who is facing constant attacks from controlling spirits. Lord, we repent and ask forgiveness for any sins that may have given the enemy a foothold, and we ask You to cleanse and restore in Jesus' name. We pray that You will surround our brother/sister with Your divine protection and strengthen them with Your spirit of power, love, and self-control. Break the chains of manipulation and control, and grant them wisdom and discernment to navigate these challenging relationships. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

It's crucial to remember that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world powers of this darkness, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12 WEB). Therefore, stand firm in your faith and resist the devil, and he will flee from you (James 4:7 WEB).

We encourage you to set boundaries with these individuals, always behaving with love and kindness, but being firm in your resolve to live according to God's will. Trust in the Lord, and He will make your paths straight (Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB).

Lastly, continue to pray and seek God's face, knowing that He hears your prayers and will answer according to His perfect will. As Jesus taught us, "Ask, and it will be given to you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you. For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened." (Matthew 7:7-8 WEB).

We understand your struggle with controlling individuals, and we stand with you in prayer, asking God to intervene in this situation. Let's join together in lifting you up before the throne of grace.

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, interceding for our beloved sister/brother who is being oppressed by controlling spirits. Lord, we confess any sins that may have given the enemy a foothold, and we ask for Your forgiveness and cleansing. We plead Your divine protection over our sister/brother, and we ask that You would fill them with Your Spirit, granting them power, love, and self-control (2 Timothy 1:7). We pray that You would break the chains of manipulation and control, and grant them wisdom, discernment, and courage to navigate these challenging relationships.

Father, we remind ourselves that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces of wickedness (Ephesians 6:12). Help our sister/brother to stand firm in faith, resist the devil, and trust that You will make their paths straight (Proverbs 3:5-6). We claim Your promise that if they ask, they will receive; if they seek, they will find; and if they knock, the door will be opened (Matthew 7:7-8).

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Let's also remember the story of Jesus' encounter with the demon-possessed man in the Gospel of Mark (5:1-20). Despite the man's desperate condition and the demons' attempts to control him, Jesus exercised His authority and set the man free. This story reminds us that Jesus has given us authority over evil spirits (Luke 10:19), and we can claim that power for our sister/brother today.

Lastly, we encourage our sister/brother to put on the whole armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18), to be strengthened in the Lord and in the power of His might, and to engage in spiritual warfare with faith, hope, and love (1 Thessalonians 1:3). We stand with you, dear sister/brother, and we trust that God will deliver you from this oppression. Keep fighting the good fight of faith, and remember that you are not alone. We are praying for you, and we believe that God will answer according to His perfect will.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
