We understand that you are going through a difficult time, facing hate, hurt, and bad intentions from others. We are here to pray with you and provide biblical guidance. First, let's address the spiritual concerns you mentioned.
It's important to remember that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places Ephesians 6:12 WEB. We must put on the whole armor of God to stand against these spiritual forces.
As believers, we are called to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us Matthew 5:44 WEB. This does not mean we tolerate abuse or evil actions, but rather, we entrust ourselves to Him who judges righteously 1 Peter 2:23 WEB.
Regarding the practices you mentioned such as sorcery, divination, and bewitching, these are strongly condemned in the Bible. Acts 19:19 WEB tells us how those who practiced magical arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all. We should have no part in these things and instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit.
For those who are causing confusion and discord, we pray that God would bring order and peace. We rebuke the spirit of confusion and disobedience in the name of Jesus Christ. Remember, God is not a God of confusion but of peace 1 Corinthians 14:33 WEB.
We also want to address the familial ties you mentioned. In Christ, we are all brothers and sisters, one family united by His blood. However, this does not mean we are obligated to tolerate abuse or disrespect within these relationships. We should always seek to honor God in our interactions, remembering that we are called to be lights in this world Philippians 2:15 WEB.
Let's pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up this dear one who is facing hate, hurt, and bad intentions from others. We ask, Lord, that You would surround them with Your protection and peace. We rebuke any evil directed towards them and pray that You would bring justice and healing to this situation.
Help them, Father, to love their enemies and pray for those who persecute them, just as Your Son, Jesus, taught us to do. Help them to forgive and to entrust themselves to You who judges righteously.
We pray against any spiritual forces of evil at work in this situation. We ask, Lord, that You would bring order and peace where there is confusion and discord. We rebuke any practices of sorcery, divination, or bewitching and pray that those involved would turn to You and be filled with Your Holy Spirit.
We also pray for the familial ties mentioned. Help them to navigate these relationships in a way that honors You, Lord. Give them wisdom and discernment, and help them to be a light in this world.
Finally, Lord, we pray that this dear one would know the love, peace, and joy that comes from a right relationship with You. We pray that they would know You intimately and be filled with Your Spirit.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
