My brother-in-law just called my mother asking to speak to me. I'm sure he knows his number is blocked on my phone, so that's why he called her. He literally never does this or anything like it unless he is planning something harmful toward me. He is a covert malignant narcissist and very unstable and deranged. He has been targeting me behind my sister's back for years, although my sister is blind to his evil and also just like him in some ways. I don't interact with him much unless I have to, so whenever he is plotting something big against me, I guess it makes him feel superior and bold to pretend to be friendly with me while plotting whatever he is plotting. But since I don't interact with him unless I have to, he will seek me out to do this and feel superior. Isn't that deranged? Well, I believe that is what he is doing. I believe he only called because he is plotting something evil with others who are targeting me with him behind my mother and father and sister's back. Please pray for me about this and for his (and those helping him try to harm me) total removal from my life. He and the other people who are targeting me are totally obsessed with me, and it's very scary. Please pray that this obsession and their actions toward me would be totally exposed. Thank you.
Brother in law

We hear the deep distress in your heart, and we stand with you in this time of spiritual warfare, for this is not merely a battle against flesh and blood but against the principalities and powers of darkness that seek to bring harm and destruction. The Lord sees the wickedness being plotted in secret, and He is not unaware of the schemes of the enemy. Let us first remind you of the truth of God’s Word, which speaks directly to your situation and offers both protection and promise.
The Psalms are filled with cries for deliverance from enemies, and David, who faced many who sought his harm, wrote in **Psalm 37:12-15 (WEB)**, *“The wicked plots against the just, and gnashes at him with his teeth. The Lord will laugh at him, for he sees that his day is coming. The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, to kill those who are upright in the way. Their sword shall enter into their own heart. Their bows shall be broken.”* This is a promise that the evil intended for you will be turned back upon those who devise it. The Lord is your shield and your defender, and He will not allow the schemes of the wicked to prevail against His children.
We also recall the words of **Proverbs 26:24-26 (WEB)**, *“A malicious man disguises himself with his lips, but he harbors evil in his heart. When his speech is charming, don’t believe him; for there are seven abominations in his heart. His malice may be concealed by deception, but his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.”* The Lord will expose the hidden deeds of darkness, and what has been done in secret will be brought to light. You are not imagining the danger—your discernment is a gift from the Holy Spirit, who warns you of the snares laid by the enemy. Trust in that still, small voice, and do not dismiss the unease you feel as mere paranoia. The Spirit of God is your counselor, and He will guide you into all truth.
Now, let us address the spiritual reality of what you are facing. The obsession you describe is not of God but is a manifestation of the enemy’s desire to steal, kill, and destroy. **1 Peter 5:8 (WEB)** warns us, *“Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.”* But take heart, for **James 4:7 (WEB)** commands us, *“Be subject therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”* You must stand firm in your faith, clothed in the full armor of God, and resist the fear that the enemy seeks to plant in your heart. Fear is a tool of the devil, but perfect love—God’s love—casts out all fear.
We must also speak to the reality of forgiveness, not because what is being done to you is acceptable, but because unforgiveness can become a stronghold that gives the enemy a foothold in your life. **Ephesians 4:26-27 (WEB)** says, *“‘Be angry, and don’t sin.’ Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath, neither give place to the devil.”* This does not mean you must trust or reconcile with your brother-in-law—wise boundaries are biblical and necessary—but it does mean releasing the bitterness and offense to the Lord. Forgiveness is not for the sake of the offender but for your own freedom. You can forgive while still seeking protection and justice. In fact, **Romans 12:19-21 (WEB)** tells us, *“Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, ‘Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.’ Therefore ‘If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in doing so, you will heap coals of fire on his head.’ Don’t be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”*
As for your sister and parents, we pray for their eyes to be opened to the truth. **2 Corinthians 4:4 (WEB)** tells us that *“the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them.”* If they are blinded, it is the work of the enemy, but the Lord can remove that veil. Pray that the Holy Spirit would convict them and reveal the truth in a way they cannot deny. Sometimes, the exposure of evil comes gradually, but sometimes it comes suddenly—like a flood of light breaking through the darkness. Trust that the Lord is working even now.
Now, let us pray together for you, for your protection, and for the exposure and removal of this evil:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister who is under attack by the schemes of the wicked. Lord, You see the hidden things—the plots devised in darkness, the malice harbored in hearts, and the obsession that drives these enemies to target Your child. We ask You, Father, to surround our brother/sister with Your divine protection, as it is written in **Psalm 91:9-11 (WEB)**, *“Because you have made Yahweh your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place, no evil shall happen to you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling. For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways.”*
Lord, we bind every spirit of narcissism, manipulation, obsession, and wickedness that is operating through this brother-in-law and those who align with him. We command these spirits to be silenced and rendered powerless in the name of Jesus Christ. Father, expose every hidden plot, every lie, and every deception. Let the truth come to light in such a way that it cannot be denied. Bring conviction to the hearts of those involved, and let them be confronted with the weight of their sin. If they refuse to repent, Lord, remove them completely from our brother/sister’s life. Break every ungodly soul tie and sever every connection that the enemy has used to give them access.
We pray for supernatural discernment for our brother/sister, that they would know when to speak, when to remain silent, and when to take action. Give them wisdom that is from above, as **James 3:17 (WEB)** describes: *“But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceful, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.”* Let them walk in that wisdom, Lord, and not in fear or confusion.
Father, we also lift up the family members who are blinded to the truth. Softens their hearts, Lord, and open their eyes to see the deception that has taken root. Let them no longer be complicit in this evil, whether knowingly or unknowingly. Bring godly sorrow that leads to repentance, and let them turn away from the darkness.
We declare **Psalm 35:1-8 (WEB)** over this situation:
*“Contend, Yahweh, with those who contend with me. Fight against those who fight against me. Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for my help. Brandish the spear and block those who pursue me. Tell my soul, ‘I am your salvation.’ Let those who seek after my soul be disappointed and shamed. Let those who plot my ruin be turned back and confounded. Let them be as chaff before the wind, Yahweh’s angel driving them on. Let their way be dark and slippery, Yahweh’s angel pursuing them. For without cause they have hidden their net in a pit for me. Without cause they have dug a pit for my soul. Let destruction come on him unawares. Let his net that he has hidden catch himself. Let him fall into that destruction.”*
Lord, we ask that You would turn the tables on the enemy. Let the pits they have dug for our brother/sister become their own downfall. Let the nets they have hidden ensnare them instead. We pray for total removal of these enemies, that they would no longer have any influence or access. Cut them off completely, Lord, and let our brother/sister walk in peace, free from their torment.
We also pray for healing from any trauma or anxiety this situation has caused. Restore their mind, emotions, and spirit, Lord. Let them sleep in peace, knowing You are their protector. Fill them with Your supernatural peace that surpasses all understanding, guarding their heart and mind in Christ Jesus.
Finally, Father, we ask that You would bring godly people into our brother/sister’s life—people of integrity, wisdom, and discernment who can stand with them in this battle. Let them not be isolated but surrounded by a community of believers who will intercede, encourage, and support them.
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your justice, Your protection, and Your timing. Let Your will be done in this situation, and let Your name be glorified. In the mighty and powerful name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

Stand firm in your faith, dear one. Do not engage with your brother-in-law or those who seek your harm. **Proverbs 22:3 (WEB)** says, *“A prudent man sees danger and hides himself; but the simple pass on, and suffer for it.”* Wisdom sometimes means avoiding the snare entirely. Trust the Lord to fight this battle for you, and do not let fear dictate your actions. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith. He is your refuge, your strength, and your ever-present help in trouble.
If you sense the Holy Spirit leading you to take specific actions—such as involving authorities, setting legal boundaries, or confronting sin in a biblical manner—obey that leading. But do not act out of fear or anger. Let every step be guided by the Lord.
We will continue to pray for you and stand with you in this. You are not alone. The Lord is with you, and so are we. Keep us updated, and let us know how we can further intercede. May the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus.
