I have been harassed by a group of people for years with many creepy, supernatural things occurring along with their harassment. These people are not Christians and many have occult involvement. Please pray for me about this and for their removal. They have subjected me to what is called narcissistic abuse and this kind of abuse has very demonic, extremely evil undertones to it. Please pray for all who have been subjected to this kind of abuse. Pray for the salvation of people doing this type of abuse although it is said that people like that rarely change. Thank you.
Abuse

We have read your request and we are standing with you in prayer, for we hear the weight of what you have carried for years under this harassment and the distress of the disturbing, supernatural things that have accompanied it. We do not take this lightly, and we grieve with you over the evil you have endured. We want you to know that God sees you, He hears your cry, and He is near to the brokenhearted.
The Word reminds us that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places Ephesians 6:12. What you describe as demonic and extremely evil undertones to this narcissistic abuse is not unfamiliar to Scripture. The enemy prowls around like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour 1 Peter 5:8, and those who give themselves to occult practices open themselves to that darkness. We rebuke all occult involvement and every work of darkness, for Scripture is clear that there shall not be found among you anyone who practices divination or sorcery or consults the dead, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord Deuteronomy 18:10-12. We have no fellowship with those works, and we turn from them to the light of Christ.
Yet we do not fear, for greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world 1 John 4:4. Christ has delivered us out of the power of darkness and translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of his love Colossians 1:13, and no weapon that is formed against you will prevail Isaiah 54:17. The Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one 2 Thessalonians 3:3. He is your refuge and fortress, your God in whom you trust Psalm 91:2, and God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble Psalm 46:1.
We also hear your heart to pray for the salvation of those who have harmed you, even while you ask for their removal and for deliverance from their harassment. That is a Christlike heart. We are called not to avenge ourselves, for vengeance belongs to the Lord Romans 12:19, but to overcome evil with good Romans 12:21, and to pray for those who mistreat us. We agree with you that humanly speaking it is said people entrenched in such cruelty rarely change, but we serve a God with whom nothing is impossible Luke 1:37, for with God all things are possible Matthew 19:26. He desires all people to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth 1 Timothy 2:4 and is patient, not wishing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance 2 Peter 3:9. He can give a new heart and put a new spirit within even the hardest heart Ezekiel 36:26. So we pray for their salvation while also asking God for your protection, for justice, and for Him to restrain and remove their ability to harm you. We pray too for all others who have been subjected to this kind of abuse, that God would heal and deliver them.
We noticed your request did not mention the name of Jesus Christ, and we want to lovingly share why His name is essential. It is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father, for Jesus said I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me John 14:6, and there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved Acts 4:12. To be saved we confess with our mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in our heart that God raised him from the dead Romans 10:9. It is by calling on that name that we are saved, forgiven, and brought into the family of God, and it is in that name that we pray with confidence and authority over every evil work.
We encourage you to remain rooted in Christ daily, to put on the whole armor of God Ephesians 6:11, to stay in the Word, in prayer, and in fellowship with faithful believers who can support you in person. Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you James 4:7. Do not seek answers in the very occult or supernatural curiosities that have oppressed you, but seek the Lord alone. If you are in danger or being harassed in ways that threaten your safety, we encourage you to seek help from trusted pastors and counselors and from proper authorities where needed, for God has also ordained authorities for protection. He will not abandon you, for He has said Fear not, for I am with you. Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness Isaiah 41:10, and the righteous cry, and the Lord hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit Psalm 34:17-18.
We now pray together for you.
Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Your Son. We lift up this dear one to You who has been harassed and tormented for years. Lord, You see every creepy and supernatural work, every act of narcissistic cruelty and demonic oppression, and nothing is hidden from You. We ask in Jesus name that You would surround this life with Your holy protection, that You would command Your angels to guard in all ways Psalm 91:11, and that You would be a wall of fire around them. We rebuke every occult power, every assignment of the enemy, and every harassing spirit, and we declare that Jesus Christ is Lord over this life. Let every evil influence be broken and flee, for whom the Son sets free is free indeed John 8:36. We ask that You would expose and restrain those who do evil, that You would stop their harassment, remove their access, and bring justice according to Your perfect will. Heal the deep wounds left by this abuse, Lord, restore peace, sleep, and soundness of mind, for You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control 2 Timothy 1:7. We pray for all who have suffered this same kind of abuse, that You would comfort them, deliver them, and lead them to healing in Christ. And Father, we pray for the salvation of those who have done this harm. Soften their hearts, convict them by Your Holy Spirit, bring them to repentance and to faith in Jesus, that they might be transformed and turn from darkness to light. We thank You that You are able to save to the uttermost. We entrust this dear one fully to Your care, trusting that You will never leave nor forsake them Hebrews 13:5. We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our only hope and Savior, amen.

We have read your request and we are so sorry you have carried this weight for years. Being harassed over a long time, especially when it feels creepy and spiritually heavy, is exhausting and isolating. It makes sense you would feel worn down and want both relief and prayer for others who have been through this kind of harm.
We hear your concern for the supernatural elements and the occult involvement you described. We believe the spiritual realm is real, and we also know it can be hard to sort through what is happening when you feel targeted and unsafe. You do not have to sort it alone. Staying connected to steady, trustworthy people can help bring clarity and protection when things feel confusing and overwhelming.
One gentle next step that often helps is to have one or two safe people who know your story and can walk with you consistently, a trusted pastor and perhaps a Christian counselor who can listen well, help you think through boundaries and safety, and pray with you regularly. If you ever feel unsafe, please reach out right away to someone nearby you trust and to local help in your area.
We also hear your heart to pray for others who have been hurt this way, and even for those who have done the hurting. That compassion after so much pain reflects God's work in you.
Father, we lift this dear one to You in Jesus' name. Surround them with Your presence and peace, guard their mind and home, and bring wise, caring people around them. Bring an end to harassment and bring healing from what has been endured. Give wisdom for each next decision and keep them anchored in Your love. We ask for Your mercy and justice to be at work, and for those who cause harm to be restrained and to come to know You if they will turn to You. Amen.

Beloved of All
Your burden has been heard and carried with sorrow and prayer before the throne of grace, where the ear of the Lord is never shut to the cry of the afflicted.
You have walked through a long and cruel captivity, harassed and hunted, and beset by things that are creepy and dark and supernatural in their character. We do not make light of this. There is indeed a power of darkness, and those who give themselves to the occult walk under its dominion. Yet we have a far richer theme for confidence than the power of the enemy, for we have been delivered from worse enemies and saved by a greater salvation. Deliverance from such cruel captivity must be worked by the hand and outstretched arm of Jehovah alone, and He is able.
We have prayed for you that the Lord who delivered Israel with silver and gold, who brought them forth when the lamb was slain, would bring you forth also. That He who has invented and found a ransom for those going down to the pit would show you that your deliverance is certain, for He Himself has said, I have found a ransom. That He who heals the broken in heart would bind up your wounds, for you have known the great ill of a broken heart under long abuse. Know that there is an abundance of healing power in Jesus Christ and His salvation. Not only is His fruit sweet and nourishing, but the very leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations, and the least thing about Christ is healing. May the Sun of Righteousness rise upon you with healing beneath His wings, to change the life blood and make the nature whole again. May the Lord grant you protection from those who harass you, restrain their evil, remove their power to harm, and give you peace within your borders. If it be His will, may He remove them altogether, and if they remain for a season, may He keep you as in the hollow of His hand, so that you shall not die but live and declare the works of the Lord.
We have prayed also for all who have been subjected to this same kind of narcissistic and demonic abuse, that they too may find that God heals and pardons together, and that where they have bewailed their affliction they may receive deliverance. When the root of bitterness is taken away, the evil which grows out of it is also removed.
And we have prayed for the salvation of those who have done this evil, though it is said that such persons rarely change. Nobody would have thought of that way of deliverance of a sinner from the pit of hell through a ransom if God had not thought of it, and what man calls rare or impossible is not beyond the reach of sovereign grace. The same Lord who can deliver from the power of sin can deliver from the guilt of sin, and where we look for justification there must we also look for sanctification. We ask that God would have mercy upon them, bring them to repentance, and cause them to look to Jesus upon the cross and find life, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved.
Cast your griefs upon the Lord, and stay yourself upon His promise. He that has delivered will yet deliver, and He will not share the honor of your deliverance with another. All shall be of free grace only. Amen.

Chrysostom
Beloved of All
Your request has been heard and your suffering has not been overlooked. To be harassed for years, to face both the cruelty of people and the fear that comes from creepy and supernatural things connected to occult involvement, is a heavy and exhausting burden. The kind of narcissistic abuse you describe, with its manipulation, deceit and deeply evil undertones, is real, and Scripture is clear that our struggle is not only against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces of evil. We grieve with you and we take your request seriously before the Lord.
We are praying for your protection and deliverance. God alone is the cause and Lord of all things, and no power of darkness and no scheme of man is outside His hand. We ask Him to restrain and remove those who harass you, to bring their works into the light and to place a hedge around you, that you may have peace and safety. We pray also for all others who have been subjected to this same kind of abuse, that God would be their refuge, their strength and their healer from the wounds that such evil leaves on the soul.
At the same time we pray that God would give you more than only escape from the trial. At times He does not immediately remove the danger, but He does something greater. He teaches the soul to despise the fear of death and to rest in the immortality He has promised, fixing the mind on the hope of a better resurrection. Like those who endured torture and refused deliverance because they looked for a better life to come, you can know that even if suffering is permitted for a season, it cannot separate you from Christ and it cannot overcome the life He has secured for you. We pray that this saving hope would comfort and steady you, so that you are set above fear, not driven by it.
We also join you in praying for the salvation of those who have done this evil. It is true that people hardened in cruelty and occult darkness rarely turn, but with God nothing is impossible. Christ calls us to a high standard with our enemies. Even when faced with those who would go to the length of murder, He did not revile them, and He calls us not to return insult for insult. We pray that God in His long suffering would bring these people to repentance, that they would turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they might receive forgiveness through Jesus Christ alone, for there is no other name by which we are saved. And we pray that you would be given grace not to be consumed by hatred, but to be kept in love and truth as you seek justice and safety.
We encourage you to remain under the care of faithful believers who can help bear this burden with you. God gives to each person gifts and abilities, whether in protection, in counsel, in teaching or in practical help, for the good of our neighbor. Do not walk through this alone. Seek the help of wise pastors and trusted Christians who can pray with you regularly, help you seek lawful protection where needed, and keep you grounded in the Word and in prayer.
Let us pray together. Father, in the name of Jesus Christ Your Son, we bring this dear one before You. You see the years of harassment and the spiritual oppression that has accompanied it. We ask for Your deliverance. Rebuke the works of darkness, silence every lying and accusing voice, and remove or restrain those who do evil. Surround Your child with Your presence, give sound sleep, clear mind and a peaceful home. Heal the wounds left by narcissistic abuse and restore what has been broken. Give strength to despise fear and to hold fast to the promise of eternal life and a better resurrection. Have mercy also on those who have caused this harm. If it be Your will, bring them to repentance and to saving faith in Christ, that they may be transformed. Keep all who suffer in this way, and lead us all to live for Your glory and for the good of one another. Amen.

Beloved of All
Thank you for sharing something so painful and difficult to put into words. To live for years under harassment, with unsettling and unnatural things happening around you, is a heavy burden, and it is right to bring it to the Lord and to ask others to pray.
Scripture is clear that evil spirits are real. They are intelligent beings who can speak and cry out, and when Jesus commanded them to leave people they often left with loud cries and begged not to be sent to the abyss before their time. That abyss, often called the bottomless pit, is described as a place of confinement for evil spirits, separate from Hades which is the place for unrepentant people. At present God allows many of these spirits to be active, but He has set limits on what they can do and He will finally confine Satan and his forces there. Revelation shows that when that pit is opened, hordes of demonic beings come out with power to torment, like the sting of scorpions, and no basement or locked room can keep spirit beings out. That is why what you have experienced feels so creepy and inescapable on a human level.
The Bible also shows that involvement in the occult opens a person to these spirits. When people give themselves to spiritism and occult practices they open a door for demonic entrance and influence. Much of the extreme cruelty we see in the world, the inhuman abuse one person can inflict on another, cannot be fully explained by human psychology alone. It reflects minds and wills that have come under demonic control. The pattern you describe in narcissistic abuse, with its deliberate deception, domination and enjoyment of another's pain, carries that same deeply evil undertone.
It is also painful when others do not understand. In the Gospels, after Jesus delivered a man who had been possessed by many demons and who had broken every chain put on him, the people nearby were more upset about the loss of their pigs than they were thankful for the man's restoration, and they asked Jesus to leave. The delivered man, by contrast, wanted only to be with Jesus. People around you may minimize or dismiss what you have suffered, but Jesus values your deliverance and wholeness far more than any other consideration.
There is comfort in knowing that God makes a separation. Those who belong to Him are sealed and kept by Him. That does not mean the torment is not real, but it means you are not abandoned and you cannot be separated from His watch and care. Many who have walked with the Lord can testify that He has protected and kept them in ways they could clearly see only afterward. God also hears the cry for justice. When we see innocent people abused and tormented we rightly cry out, how long, Lord, before you bring judgment. Scripture promises He will punish both the demonic powers that rule in high places and the people who willingly follow them. Vengeance belongs to Him and He will not overlook evil.
The greatest hope is not simply in praying for deliverance as an experience, but in welcoming the Deliverer Himself. Light and darkness cannot remain together. When Jesus Christ is invited to enter and dwell in a life, the darkness must go. If a person seeks only to have an evil power leave without having that empty place filled by Christ, that person can end up in worse condition. The need is for the power and presence of Jesus to come in and remain. We see this in those Jesus delivered, like the man who was freed from many demons and then clung to Jesus, and like the woman who had been dramatically delivered and then followed Him faithfully to the cross and was among the first to see Him risen. A dramatic change is possible when Christ enters.
Jesus also said He will return as a thief, unexpectedly, and blessed is the one who watches and keeps his garments clean, who stays close to Him and walks in readiness and purity. Staying near Christ, staying in His Word, in prayer, and in fellowship with other believers who will walk with you, is part of watching and keeping your life covered by Him.
I am praying for you now, and for all who have been subjected to this kind of cruel and spiritually oppressive abuse. I pray that the Lord will surround you with His protection, that He will bring an end to this harassment and remove those who persist in harming you, that He will give you peace, clear mind, and rest, and that He will fill your life more and more with the presence of Christ so that every dark influence must flee. I pray also for those who have done this harm. It is true that people deeply hardened in this kind of evil rarely repent, but God is still able to save, and His salvation is only through Jesus Christ. I pray that any who will hear may be brought to repentance and faith, and that God in His justice will restrain and judge those who refuse to turn.
Keep bringing every fear and every strange and painful experience to Jesus in prayer. Ask Him each day to be Lord over your life, your home, and your mind. If you have not already, seek wise and safe pastoral and, if needed, practical help from trustworthy believers who can support you in person and help you establish healthy boundaries. You are seen and valued by the Lord, and He is able to keep you.
