The only 2 PSALMS that destroy BLACK MAGIC, ENVY and VOODOO – listen before it’s too late

GOD PERFORMS MIRACLES34:31

Transcription

Right now, at this very moment, there are forces of darkness that have been sent against you. Black magic, envy, voodoo. They think they can touch what belongs to God. But today, we declare war in the spiritual realm. Today, we take authority over every curse, every spell, every evil eye that has been directed toward your life.

If you're hearing this prayer, it's not by coincidence. The Holy Spirit has guided you here because he knows what you've been facing. Those sleepless nights, that heaviness in your spirit, those attacks that seem to come from nowhere, God sees it all. And today, he's positioning you for complete victory.

I want you to know that the same God who parted the Red Sea, the same God who brought down the walls of Jericho, the same God who raised Jesus from the dead, that same almighty God is fighting for you right now. The enemy thought he could steal your peace, destroy your family, and block your blessings. But he made one fatal mistake. He touched someone who belongs to the most high God.

Every practitioner of witchcraft who has worked against you. Every jealous person who has sent the evil eye your way, every ritual performed in darkness to harm you, they are about to discover that your God is not sleeping. The Lord of hosts is awakening his army of angels on your behalf.

From whatever state you're listening to this prayer, I want you to type it in the comments below. Let us unite in prayer across every border, every distance. Whether you're in California or Texas, Florida, or New York, we are one body in Christ. And today we stand together against the kingdom of darkness.

The blood of Jesus Christ is your shield. The name of Jesus Christ is your sword. The word of God is your armor. And today we're going into battle not with weapons of flesh, but with weapons that are mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds. Every high thing that has exalted itself against the knowledge of God in your life is about to be cast down.

I decree that every spell spoken over your name is broken right now. Every candle lit against you burns out in the name of Jesus. Every ritual performed to block your destiny crumbles to dust. Every envious tongue that has spoken evil over your life is silenced by the power of Almighty God. Your enemies thought they were fighting against you, but they've awakened the lion of the tribe of Judah. They thought they were cursing you, but Romans 8:28 declares that all things work together for good to those who love God and are called according to his purpose. Even their curses will become your blessings.

The God we serve is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He delivered Daniel from the lion's den. He brought Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego out of the fiery furnace without even the smell of smoke on their clothes. He delivered Paul and Silas from prison. And today, he's delivering you from every spiritual prison that has held you captive.

As we enter into this powerful prayer together, I want you to open your heart completely. Don't hold back. God already knows what you've been going through. He's seen every tear you've cried in secret. He's heard every prayer you've whispered in desperation. And today, he's answering with power that will shake the kingdom of darkness.

Let us now declare the powerful words of Psalm 30, the first weapon that destroys every work of darkness. "I will extol you, O Lord, for you have lifted me up and have not let my foes rejoice over me." Right now, we declare that your enemies will not have the last word in your story. Every person who has practiced witchcraft against you. Every ritual performed to bring you down, they will not rejoice over your downfall because God is lifting you up.

The enemy thought your season of weeping would last forever. He thought the attacks against your mind, your health, your finances would break you completely. But Psalm 35 declares, "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning." Your mourning is breaking right now. The darkness that has surrounded you is being penetrated by the light of God's glory. Every black magic spell that was designed to keep you in mourning is being shattered. Every voodoo ritual performed to steal your joy is being reversed. Every curse sent to make you weep endlessly is being turned back upon those who sent it. God is turning your mourning into dancing, your sorrow into supernatural joy that the enemy cannot touch.

"O Lord my God, I cried out to you and you healed me." Whatever sickness the enemy has sent against your body through witchcraft, whatever mental torment has been inflicted through spiritual attacks, whatever emotional wounds have been opened by envious people, God is healing you right now. The same power that raised Jesus from the dead is flowing through your body, your mind, your spirit. I speak to every organ in your body that has been under attack. Every cell that has been targeted by dark forces, be healed in the name of Jesus. Every thought pattern that has been influenced by witchcraft be renewed by the mind of Christ. Every emotion that has been manipulated by spiritual warfare be restored to God's perfect peace.

The psalmist continues, "O Lord, you brought my soul up from the grave. You have kept me alive that I should not go down to the pit." The enemy wanted to bury your destiny, to send your dreams to the grave to destroy everything God has planned for your life. But God is bringing your soul up from every grave the enemy has dug for you. Your marriage that seemed dead, God is breathing new life into it. Your finances that were under curse, God is opening floodgates of blessing. Your health that was under attack, God is restoring you completely. Your children who were bound by generational curses, God is setting them free. Your business that was failing under spiritual attack, God is turning it around for his glory.

Every pit that jealous people have dug for you, they themselves will fall into it. Every snare that practitioners of voodoo have set for your feet, they themselves will be caught in it. Every trap that has been laid to destroy your family, it will backfire against those who set it. The same measure they have used against you will be used against them.

If you feel the power of God moving in your spirit right now, I want you to leave your name in the comments below. Not for any superstition, but so we can lift your name before the throne of grace. We are family in Christ, and we carry each other in prayer until breakthrough comes.

"Sing praise to the Lord, you saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holy name." Today we sing praise even in the middle of the battle. We give thanks even before we see the complete victory because our God is faithful and what he has promised he will surely bring to pass. The holy name of Jesus is above every name that has been called over you in darkness. It's above every spirit that has been summoned against you. It's above every principality and power that has tried to rule over your life. At the name of Jesus, every knee must bow and every tongue must confess that he is Lord.

Now we turn to the second mighty weapon, Psalm 70, and we cry out with urgency. "Make haste, O God, to deliver me. Make haste to help me, O Lord." This is not a passive prayer. This is a desperate cry for immediate intervention. The attacks against you have gone on long enough. The spiritual warfare has lasted too long. Today, we demand God's urgent help to break every chain that binds you.

"Let them be ashamed and confounded who seek my life. Let them be turned back and confused who desire my hurt." Every witch doctor, every practitioner of black magic, every person who has worked voodoo against you. Let confusion fall upon them right now. Let their spells backfire. Let their rituals work against them. Let every word they have spoken against you return to them sevenfold.

The people who have gathered in dark places to call your name, who have used your picture in their evil ceremonies, who have buried things in the ground to curse your path, let them be ashamed and confounded. Let their own evil come back upon their heads. Let the very spirits they have summoned turn against them. I declare that every circle they have drawn around your name is broken. Every altar they have built against you is torn down. Every offering they have made to harm you is rejected by heaven and earth. The blood of Jesus Christ speaks better things than their sacrificial blood. The name of Jesus Christ carries more power than all their incantations combined.

"Let them be turned back because of their shame. Who say, Aha, aha." Those who have mocked you in your struggles, who have laughed at your pain, who have said, "Look how their God has abandoned them." Their laughter is about to turn to weeping. Their mockery is about to become their mourning. Their "aha" is about to become their "oh no." The same people who thought they had power over you are about to discover that they have awakened the wrath of the Almighty. They have touched the apple of God's eye. They have put their hand against someone sealed with the Holy Spirit. And now they will reap what they have sown.

Every evil eye that has looked upon you with jealousy is being blinded. Every envious heart that has plotted against your success is being exposed. Every tongue that has spoken curses over your family is being silenced. The shame they intended for you is returning to them with interest.

But for you who seek the Lord, Psalm 74 declares, "Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you. And let those who love your salvation say continually, Let God be magnified." While your enemies are being confused and ashamed, you are being lifted up in joy and gladness. While they are experiencing their downfall, you are experiencing God's magnification in your life. The God who fights for you is being magnified above every demon they have summoned. He is being exalted above every principality they have called upon. He is being glorified above every power of darkness they have invoked. And as he is magnified, you are blessed. As he is exalted, you are lifted up. As he is glorified, you are victorious.

I want you to understand something powerful. While they have been working against you in darkness, God has been working for you in light. While they have been plotting your destruction, God has been planning your promotion. While they have been cursing your future, God has been blessing your destiny.

Every chain of generational curse that has held your family for years, it's breaking right now. Every pattern of poverty that has followed your bloodline, it's being shattered. Every cycle of sickness that has attacked your generations, it's being stopped today. Every spirit of division that has destroyed relationships in your family, it's being cast out. The urgent help that Psalm 70 speaks of is manifesting in your life right now. God's deliverance is not coming slowly. It's coming swiftly. His intervention is not gradual. It's immediate. His victory in your life is not partial. It's complete.

Father God, now we extend your divine protection over every member of this precious family. I cover the person hearing this prayer from the crown of their head to the soles of their feet with the blood of Jesus Christ. No weapon formed against you shall prosper. And every tongue that rises against you in judgment, you shall condemn. This is your heritage as a servant of the Lord.

I speak protection over your spouse right now. Every attack of division, every spirit of confusion that has been sent to destroy your marriage, every third party that has been used by the enemy to bring discord, I bind them all in the name of Jesus. Your marriage covenant is sealed by God and what God has joined together, no witchcraft can separate.

If you are believing for a spouse, I decree that every delay caused by spiritual interference is broken. Every person who has worked magic to keep you single and lonely, their power is destroyed. God is preparing your heart and your future spouse's heart. The enemy's plan to isolate you is defeated. Your season of divine connection is coming.

I cover your children with the blood of the lamb. Every generational curse that tried to pass down to them stops right here, right now. Every evil pattern that has plagued your family line for generations, it dies with this generation. Your children will be mighty in the land. They will be blessed coming in and blessed going out. For your teenage children who may be under spiritual attack, I speak protection over their minds. Every influence of rebellion that is not natural but is spiritually induced be broken. Every spirit of addiction, every spirit of depression, every spirit of confusion that has targeted them through music, through friendships, through social media, I cast you out in Jesus' name.

Your home is covered by the presence of the most high God. I speak to every corner of your house, be filled with the glory of God. Every room where arguments have taken place, be cleansed by the blood of Jesus. Every space where heaviness has lingered, be filled with the joy of the Lord. Every doorway, every window, every entrance be sealed against all evil.

The enemy thought he could use your own family members against you. Those relatives who practice envy, who speak words of discouragement, who carry jealousy in their hearts. Their influence over your life is broken. Their words have no power to curse what God has blessed. Their negative opinions cannot change God's positive plan for your destiny.

I speak to your bloodline right now. Every ancestor who made covenants with darkness, every generation that opened doors to evil spirits, every family member who practiced witchcraft or consulted mediums, those legal rights are revoked by the blood of Jesus Christ. You and your descendants are free from every evil inheritance. If you have been carrying burdens that don't belong to you. If you have been fighting battles that started before you were born. If you have been struggling with problems that seem bigger than you. Understand that these are generational strongholds. But today the strong man is being bound. The strong God is setting you free.

Your finances that have been under attack through generational poverty spirits. I speak increase over them. Your health that has been targeted through family curses of sickness. I speak healing over it. Your relationships that have been affected by generational patterns of broken marriages, I speak restoration and wholeness. Every door that your ancestors opened to the enemy, I close in the name of Jesus. Every contract they made with darkness, I cancel by the blood of the lamb. Every dedication they made to evil spirits, I reverse by the power of the most high God. You and your family belong to Jesus Christ alone.

I want you to pray this with me right now. Jesus Christ, I surrender my entire family line to you. From my great great grandparents to my great great grandchildren yet to be born, I place them all under your lordship. Break every evil cycle. Establish your righteousness as our family inheritance. Let every generation that comes from my bloodline serve you and you alone.

As we continue in this powerful prayer together, feel the peace of God settling over your home. Feel the protection of the Almighty surrounding your loved ones. Know that you are not fighting this battle alone. You have the entire host of heaven fighting alongside you.

Now we turn our spiritual weapons against one of the most common but deadly attacks, the evil eye and the poison of envy. Every person who has looked upon your life with jealousy. Every individual who has wished evil upon your success, every heart that has burned with envy at your blessings, their evil eye is being turned back upon them right now. The Bible says in Proverbs 27:4 that wrath is cruel and anger a torrent. But who is able to stand before envy? But I declare that you will not only stand before envy, you will triumph over it.

Every envious glance that has been cast your way, every jealous thought that has been directed toward your family, every bitter word spoken against your progress, it all loses its power right now. That coworker who smiles in your face but curses you behind your back, who celebrates your failures and hates your victories, their envy is being exposed. The favor of God upon your life is about to become so obvious that their jealousy will be undeniable. While they waste their energy hating you, God is using that same energy to bless you even more.

I speak to every workplace where envy has been directed against you. That promotion they tried to block through their negative words, you're going to receive it. That recognition they tried to steal from you, it's coming back to you multiplied. That success they prayed would never come to you. It's about to manifest in ways that will shock them.

Every family member who has been jealous of your achievements, who has minimized your victories, who has spoken words to make you feel small, their time of influence is over. God is about to elevate you to a level where their opinions become irrelevant. Their envy has actually been working as a catalyst for your greater blessing.

The evil eye that has been cast upon your children's success, upon their health, upon their future, it's being shattered like glass. Every jealous relative who has looked upon your children with envy. Every neighbor who has wished harm upon their progress. Every person who has spoken limiting words over their potential. Their evil eye is being turned back upon their own children. I declare that your children will excel beyond the children of those who envied them. Your family will prosper beyond the families of those who wished you harm. Your success will surpass the dreams of those who wanted to see you fail. The very areas where they attacked you will become the areas where you experience your greatest breakthrough.

Every social media platform where people have been stalking your life with envy, where they have been secretly wishing for your downfall while publicly pretending to celebrate you. I cover you with divine protection. Their evil intentions cannot touch what God has blessed. Their negative energy only fuels your positive momentum. The mother-in-law who has never accepted you. The sister-in-law who competes with everything you do. The neighbor who gossips about your blessings. The friend who secretly resents your happiness. All of their envious hearts are being exposed. God is opening your eyes to see who your real friends are and who your hidden enemies have been.

But here's what's beautiful about God's justice. While they have been plotting against you in their hearts, God has been plotting for you in heaven. While they have been planning your failure, God has been orchestrating your success. While they have been sowing seeds of envy, God has been preparing a harvest of blessing that will leave them speechless.

I want you to know that every time someone has been jealous of you, it has been a confirmation that God's hand is upon your life. People don't envy mediocrity. They envy excellence. They don't attack ordinary. They attack extraordinary. The very fact that you have enemies proves that you have something worth protecting.

Every evil eye that has looked upon your marriage with jealousy, wishing for divorce and separation, that evil eye is being put out. Your marriage is going to become stronger than ever. The love between you and your spouse is going to become so evident that it will make your enemies sick with envy. If you've been single and people have been envious of your freedom, your independence, your peace, I decree that when God brings your spouse, it will be so obvious that you two are meant for each other that even your haters will have to acknowledge God's goodness in your life.

The envy that has been directed toward your appearance, your body, your beauty. It's being reversed. God is about to give you such a glow, such radiance, such confidence that the very people who tried to make you feel insecure will be asking what your secret is.

The tide is turning right now. Can you feel it in your spirit? The same God who gave David victory over Goliath, who gave Joshua victory over Jericho, who gave Gideon victory over the Midianites with just 300 men. That same God of impossible victories is declaring your triumph over every force of darkness that has stood against you. I prophesy over your life right now. The breakthrough you have been waiting for is not coming next year, not coming next month. It's breaking through right now.

Every wall that has blocked your progress, every barrier that has hindered your advancement, every obstacle that has seemed immovable, they are crumbling at this very moment under the weight of God's glory. Your enemies thought they had won when they saw you struggling. They celebrated when they saw you weak. They rejoiced when they saw you confused and overwhelmed. But what they didn't understand is that God was allowing you to go through the fire, not to destroy you, but to purify you, not to defeat you, but to strengthen you, not to break you, but to prepare you for unprecedented victory.

Every door that has been closed against you through spiritual interference is about to burst open. Every opportunity that was stolen from you through witchcraft is being restored with interest. Every dream that was deferred because of spiritual attack is being resurrected with supernatural acceleration.

I speak to your finances right now. Every curse of poverty, every spell of lack, every ritual performed to keep you in financial bondage, it's all breaking off your life today. Money that has been held up in the spiritual realm is being released. Contracts that have been delayed through demonic interference are being signed. Business opportunities that seemed impossible are becoming inevitable. The favor of God is coming upon you so strongly that people who rejected you will be calling you back. Employers who overlooked you will be seeking you out. Organizations that said no to you will be saying yes with urgency. The same people who closed doors in your face will be opening doors and begging you to walk through them.

I declare that your health is being completely restored. Every organ that has been under attack be healed in Jesus' name. Every system in your body that has been targeted by witchcraft, function according to God's perfect design. Every pain that has been sent by the enemy, leave now and never return. You are healed by the stripes of Jesus Christ. Your mind that has been tormented by thoughts of fear, depression, anxiety, and confusion. Receive the peace of God that surpasses all understanding. Every mental stronghold that has been built through spiritual warfare be torn down. Every lie that has been planted in your thoughts be replaced with God's truth. You have the mind of Christ.

The relationships that have been under attack in your life. God is bringing restoration that will amaze you. Family members who have been estranged will reach out with reconciliation. Friendships that seemed broken beyond repair will be healed stronger than before. The love in your home will be so thick you can feel it in the atmosphere.

I want you to share your testimony when breakthrough comes. Comment below and tell us what area of your life needs this victory most urgently. Are you believing for healing? Are you standing for financial breakthrough? Are you trusting God for family restoration? Let us agree together in prayer for your specific need, your ministry, your calling, your purpose that has been under demonic attack. It's about to explode with supernatural growth. Every platform you've been removed from, God is creating bigger platforms. Every opportunity you've been blocked from, God is opening greater opportunities. Every voice that tried to silence you is being silenced while your voice is being amplified. The generation that comes after you will tell stories about this season of your life. They will speak of how their ancestor broke every curse, defeated every enemy, and established righteousness as their family inheritance. They will say, "This is where our family's victory began. This is when everything changed for us."

I prophesy that your latter days will be greater than your former days. Your end will be better than your beginning. What you lost in the first half of your life, you will recover in the second half. What the enemy stole in your youth, God will restore in your maturity. The best chapters of your story are still being written. Victory is not just coming to you. Victory is erupting from within you. The same spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives in you. And he is more than enough to handle every enemy, every attack, every scheme that has been devised against your destiny.

Father God, we now call upon your heavenly host to surround this precious child of yours with an impenetrable wall of divine protection. Just as you sent your angel to shut the mouths of lions for Daniel, just as you dispatched your warrior angels to fight for Elisha, we summon your mighty angels to establish a fortress around this life that no evil force can penetrate. I assign guardian angels to every pathway you will walk. Angels of protection over your home while you sleep. Angels of wisdom to guide your decisions. Angels of prosperity to open doors of opportunity. Angels of healing to maintain your health. Angels of peace to guard your mind. You are surrounded by an army that outnumbers every demon that has been assigned against you.

"The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him and delivers them." Right now, that angelic encampment is being established around your life with permanent orders never to leave their post. Every morning when you wake up, they are there. Every night when you lay down, they stand guard. Every step you take, they go before you to make the crooked places straight.

I speak to every principality that has ruled over your city, your neighborhood, your workplace. Your time of dominion is over. The Prince of Peace is taking his rightful place as ruler over every area of this person's life. Every territorial spirit that has claimed ownership of their destiny, you are evicted by the blood of Jesus Christ. Michael the archangel who fights against the dragon, I call upon you to do battle on behalf of this child of God. Every python spirit that has tried to squeeze the life out of their dreams, be cut to pieces. Every Leviathan spirit that has brought pride and confusion, be defeated. Every Jezebel spirit that has tried to control and manipulate their relationships be cast down. Gabriel the archangel who brings God's messages, I ask you to speak divine strategies into their spirit. Give them supernatural wisdom to navigate every challenge. Reveal to them the schemes of the enemy before they can take effect. Open their spiritual eyes to see opportunities that others miss. Give them words of power that will defeat every argument raised against them.

I establish a hedge of protection around their finances that no demon of poverty can cross. I set angelic guards over their bank accounts, their investments, their business dealings, every spirit of theft, every demon of loss, every principality of lack. You have no legal right to access what belongs to this child of the King. Their children are covered by the wings of the Almighty. I assign warring angels to fight for their minds, their futures, their destinies. Every generational curse that tried to pass down to them stops at this generation. Every evil pattern that attempted to continue through their bloodline is broken forever.

The blood of Jesus Christ is your eternal covering. But now I add to that covering the supernatural protection of God's angelic host. When your enemies look at you, they will not just see you. They will see the army of heaven that stands with you. When they plot against you, they will discover that they are plotting against the hosts of the Lord. I decree that your home becomes a no-fly zone for every demon, every evil spirit, every unclean force. Your property is marked with the blood of the lamb and sealed by the presence of the most high God. What enters your home must first pass through the approval of heaven. What affects your family must first get permission from the throne of grace.

Every witch doctor who has tried to send familiar spirits to monitor your activities. Those spirits are being captured by angels and cast into the abyss. Every psychic who has tried to read your future to curse it, their spiritual sight is being blinded. Every medium who has tried to contact spirits to work against you, their connection to the dark realm is being severed. I establish covenant protection over your bloodline for a thousand generations. What God is doing in your life today will affect your children, your grandchildren, and their descendants for centuries to come. The victory you are walking in becomes their inheritance. The breakthrough you are experiencing becomes their foundation.

As we prepare for the final declaration of this powerful prayer, know that you are not the same person who started listening to these words. You have been transformed by the power of God's word. You have been elevated by the authority of Jesus Christ. You have been established in victory that can never be shaken.

Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, we come to you now with hearts completely surrendered. You are the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. You are the name above every name, the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords. Every knee must bow before you and every tongue must confess that you are Lord.

I surrender my entire life to you right now. Not just the parts that are convenient, not just the areas that are comfortable, but every single aspect of my existence. My past, my present, my future. I place them all in your nail-scarred hands. You are my Savior, my Deliverer, my Healer, my Provider, my Protector, my everything. Jesus, you are the only one who can truly save. Not rituals, not spells, not human wisdom, not worldly power. Only you have the authority to rescue a soul from eternal destruction. You conquered death, hell, and the grave. You stripped principalities and powers of their authority. You made a public spectacle of every demon that thought it could claim dominion over your children. I declare that every curse is broken because of the curse you bore for me on Calvary. Every sickness is healed because of the stripes you took for me. Every demon is defeated because of the victory you won for me. Every chain is broken because of the freedom you purchased for me with your precious blood.

Lord Jesus, I receive you as my personal Savior right now. I believe that you died for my sins and rose again for my justification. I confess with my mouth that you are Lord. And I believe in my heart that God raised you from the dead. By this confession, I am saved. I am delivered. I am set free. Your blood cleanses me from all unrighteousness. Your righteousness covers all my sins. Your love casts out all fear. Your peace guards my heart and mind. Your joy becomes my strength. Your grace is sufficient for every challenge I will ever face.

I surrender my family to you, Jesus. My spouse, my children, my parents, my siblings. I place them all under your lordship. Be the head of our home. Be the foundation of our relationships. Be the source of our provision. Be the strength of our unity. Let your kingdom come and your will be done in our family as it is in heaven.

I surrender my finances to you. You are my provider, my source, my supply. I will not trust in riches, but in you who gives me richly all things to enjoy. You will supply all my needs according to your riches in glory. You will open windows of heaven and pour out blessings I cannot contain.

I surrender my health to you. By your stripes I am healed. You are the God who heals all my diseases. You restore my youth like the eagles. You satisfy my mouth with good things. Every cell in my body submits to your divine design. Every organ functions according to your perfect will.

I surrender my dreams, my goals, my aspirations to you. Not my will but your will be done. Your thoughts toward me are thoughts of peace and not evil, to give me a future and a hope. You will bring to pass every purpose you have ordained for my life. Nothing can stop what you have purposed for me.

Jesus, you are my victory. In you, I am more than a conqueror. Through you, I can do all things. With you, all things are possible. Because of you, I am victorious over every enemy, every attack, every scheme of darkness. Your victory is my victory. Your triumph is my triumph. Your resurrection power lives in me.

I declare that I belong to you completely. I am bought with a price. I am not my own. I am your beloved, your chosen, your treasured possession. No weapon formed against me shall prosper because I am hidden in you. No curse can touch me because I am blessed in you. No evil can overcome me because you have overcome the world.

Let every person hearing this prayer join me in this declaration. Jesus Christ is Lord of my life. He is my salvation. He is my deliverer. He is my healer. He is my everything. I surrender all to him and I receive all from him in his mighty name. Every curse is broken. Every chain is shattered. Every enemy is defeated. Amen.
