We hear the deep distress in your heart, and we stand with you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, who alone has power over every spiritual attack, memory disturbance, and unseen force that seeks to harm you. You have called upon the name of Jesus, and that is your victory—because "there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:12, WEB). The blood of Jesus covers you, and no weapon formed against you shall prosper when you abide in Him (Isaiah 54:17).
Your confessions reveal a battle not just in the physical realm but in the spiritual, where the enemy seeks to confuse, torment, and steal your peace through fear, suspicion, and even the memories of past events. But take heart: "For God hasn’t given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control" (2 Timothy 1:7, WEB). The strange occurrences you describe—whether the school picture of your brother, the shredding incident, or the lingering unease about past workplaces—are not beyond the authority of Christ. He is Lord over every place, every memory, and every spirit that may seek to trespass against you.
We must address something critical: your focus on specific ethnicities or groups (### spirits, ### spirits, ### souls) as sources of attack risks attributing spiritual power to created beings rather than recognizing that all authority belongs to Jesus. The battle is not against flesh and blood—whether people, their nationalities, or even their spiritual backgrounds—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, WEB). The enemy will use *any* means to distract you from the truth: that Christ has already disarmed these powers (Colossians 2:15). Do not give the devil a foothold by assigning blame to people groups or their spirits. Instead, rebuke the *spiritual forces* behind any attack in Jesus’ name, for He has overcome the world (John 16:33).
As for the vexation you sense from your brother’s friend or others, we urge you to release any bitterness or unforgiveness, for these can open doors to torment. Jesus commands us to "love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you" (Matthew 5:44, WEB). This doesn’t mean ignoring wrongdoing, but it *does* mean trusting God to vindicate you rather than harboring resentment. If there has been occult involvement, curses, or ungodly soul ties in your family or past, break them now in Jesus’ name. Declare: *"Every ungodly connection to my family, my past, or my workplaces is severed by the blood of Jesus. I renounce any agreement with fear, confusion, or spiritual oppression, and I command all trespassing spirits to leave in the name of Jesus Christ."*
Your mention of fasting is excellent—fasting humbles our flesh and sharpens our spiritual discernment. But remember: fasting is unto the Lord, not for the praise of men (Matthew 6:16–18). If you sense sabotage, cover your fast in prayer and silence, asking God to guard your heart and motives. Let your fasting be accompanied by Scripture meditation (Psalm 1:2–3) and worship, for these are weapons of warfare.
Lastly, your gratitude for coffee and low-calorie nourishment is a beautiful reminder that even in trials, God provides. But we gently urge you: do not let dietary focus overshadow your dependence on the *Bread of Life* (John 6:35). Physical nourishment is good, but "man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of God’s mouth" (Matthew 4:4, WEB).

**Let us pray together:**
Heavenly Father, we lift up Your child before Your throne of grace, where mercy triumphs over every accusation and fear. Lord Jesus, You are the *same* yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8)—the One who calms storms, casts out demons, and restores broken minds. We plead Your blood over every memory, every place, and every spiritual attack against this beloved soul. Break the power of confusion, Lord. Where there has been trespassing—whether by spirits, curses, or ungodly influences—we command them to *flee* in the name of Jesus. No weapon formed against this life shall prosper, and every tongue that rises in judgment shall be condemned (Isaiah 54:17).
Father, expose the roots of these attacks. If there has been generational sin, occult involvement, or ungodly agreements in this family, we break their power now by the authority of Christ. We declare that this mind is *yours*, Holy Spirit—renew it, guard it, and fill it with the peace that surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:7). Where there is fear of relatives, coworkers, or even strangers, we speak *love* and *forgiveness*, for perfect love casts out fear (1 John 4:18).
Lord, we ask for divine protection over this fast. Let it be a holy time of drawing near to You, not a battleground for the enemy. Strengthen this body, sharpen this spirit, and let every temptation be crushed under the feet of Jesus. We thank You for the provision of food and drink, but more so, we thank You for the *living water* that quench all thirst (John 4:14).
Finally, Father, we pray for a *fresh anointing* of discernment. Let no lie of the enemy take root. Where there is residual trauma from EMS, hospitals, or past crises, we speak *healing* and *deliverance*. Fill this home with Your presence, Lord—let it be a sanctuary where no trespassing spirit can dwell.
We declare all these things in the *mighty name of Jesus Christ*, our Savior, Deliverer, and soon-coming King. Amen.

**Encouragement for You:**
Beloved, the fact that you are *aware* of these attacks means the Holy Spirit is alerting you to stand firm. But awareness without action can lead to paralysis. Here’s what we urge you to do:
1. **Speak Scripture aloud** over your home and mind. Try Psalm 91, Ephesians 6:10–18, or 2 Corinthians 10:3–5.
2. **Guard your thought life**. "Bring every thought captive to the obedience of Christ" (2 Corinthians 10:5, WEB). When fear or suspicion arises, replace it with worship or Scripture.
3. **Break ungodly soul ties**. If you sense spiritual connections to past coworkers, relatives, or even places, pray: *"I sever every ungodly tie to [name/place] in Jesus’ name. I release them to God’s judgment and claim my freedom in Christ."*
4. **Walk in forgiveness**. Unforgiveness is a legal right for the enemy to torment you (Matthew 18:34–35). Release everyone—even those you suspect of harming you—to God’s justice.
5. **Stay in community**. Isolation magnifies fear. Seek a Bible-believing church or believers who can pray with you (Matthew 18:20).
You are *not* helpless. Greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). Keep your eyes on Jesus, the Author and Finisher of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). He is faithful, and He will complete the good work He began in you (Philippians 1:6). Stand firm!
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
