We understand that you are seeking prayer for a loved one experiencing potential demonic oppression at night, with physical manifestations such as the bed shaking. We are here to pray and provide biblical encouragement for this situation.
Firstly, we commend the loved one for turning to the Bible for comfort and protection. It is written, "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." (James 4:7 WEB) and "For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword" (Hebrews 4:12 WEB). The fact that the disturbances stop when the Bible is read aloud is a testament to the power of God's word.
We must remember that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." (Ephesians 6:12 WEB). Therefore, we should put on the full armor of God, so that we can take our stand against the devil’s schemes." (Ephesians 6:11 WEB).
Let us pray together:
"Father, we come before you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our loved one who is experiencing these nighttime disturbances. We thank you that you have given us authority to trample on snakes and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, so that nothing will by any means harm us." We rebuke these nighttime disturbances in Jesus' name and command them to cease. Father we ask that you would grant our loved one a hedge of protection and peace at night. We ask that your angels surround him. We claim Isaiah 54:17 which says, 'No weapon that is formed against you will prosper; and every tongue that accuses you in judgment you will condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of Yahweh, and their righteousness is of me,' says Yahweh." We also ask for your peace that surpasses all understanding to guard our loved one's heart and mind in Christ Jesus, so that he can fall asleep without fear. We thank you that you are our refuge and strength. We praise you for your protection and love. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage our loved one to continue reading the Bible aloud and to also praise and worship God when these disturbances occur. Additionally, consider praying Psalm 91 before bed, personalizing it and declaring God's protection over the sleeping hours.
Lastly, we advise our loved one to examine their life and ensure there are no openings or strongholds for the enemy to gain access. For example, involvement in any sin, occult practices, or unforgiveness can give the enemy a foothold. If any such areas are identified, repent and ask the Lord for forgiveness, and have someone pray for you to renounce and close these doorways. Remember, "Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective." James 5:16 WEB.
We are standing with you in prayer and believe that God will bring peace and protection to our loved one.
