We come before the Lord with you in this time of deep spiritual distress, lifting your heart and mind to the throne of grace where Jesus Christ intercedes for us. Your confession and cry for deliverance reveal a heart that is burdened by fear, guilt, and the weight of past actions—some real, some perceived—and we acknowledge the enemy’s attempt to use these things to torment you. But take heart, beloved, for the Scriptures remind us that *"there is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don’t walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit"* (Romans 8:1, WEB). If you have placed your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you are no longer defined by these fears or past mistakes, but by His righteousness and redemption.
Your plea for protection from spiritual attacks, hypnotic influences, and the voices of others—whether from relatives or even those within the church—must be met with the truth of God’s Word. The apostle Paul tells us, *"For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control"* (2 Timothy 1:7, WEB). The spirals, the memories, the accusations, and the fears you describe are not from the Lord. They are distractions and lies meant to keep you bound in anxiety rather than walking in the freedom Christ has purchased for you. *"Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be 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, WEB).
We must address the guilt and superstitious fears you’ve expressed—such as the belief that small actions (like snapping your fingers, breaking a plate, or wearing new shoes) have brought punishment or curses upon you. Beloved, this is not how our Heavenly Father operates. *"The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness. He will not always accuse; neither will he stay angry forever. He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor repaid us for our iniquities. For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his loving kindness toward those who fear him. As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us"* (Psalm 103:8-12, WEB). If you have repented of these things, they are forgiven and remembered no more. The enemy wants you to live in a cycle of shame, but Jesus wants you to walk in the liberty of His grace.
Regarding the fears of others’ circumstances happening to you or the belief that relatives or church members may be connected to you in harmful ways, we urge you to stand firm in this truth: *"No weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of Yahweh’s servants, and their righteousness is from me," says Yahweh"* (Isaiah 54:17, WEB). You are not at the mercy of others’ words, actions, or even their spiritual condition. Your protection is in Christ alone. If there are relatives or individuals in the church who are causing you distress—whether through their words, behaviors, or what you perceive as spiritual influence—we encourage you to set healthy boundaries and to pray for them rather than fear them. *"Bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you"* (Luke 6:28, WEB).
We also note your mention of "schizophrenic voices" and the need for clarity. If you are experiencing auditory hallucinations or persistent intrusive thoughts, we strongly encourage you to seek wise, biblical counsel and medical evaluation. The Lord can and does heal, but He also provides wisdom through godly professionals who can help you discern between spiritual warfare and other underlying issues. *"The heart of the wise instructs his mouth, and adds learning to his lips. Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones"* (Proverbs 16:23-24, WEB).
As for your concern about the "holy habitation" described in the Psalms, remember that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). No relative, no past mistake, and no spiritual force can invade what belongs to God unless you allow it through unbelief or unrepentant sin. *"Yahweh, you have been our dwelling place for all generations. Before the mountains were born, before you had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God"* (Psalm 90:1-2, WEB). Your dwelling place is in Him, and He is your strong tower.
Finally, we rejoice that you have ended your prayer in the name of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me'"*(John 14:6, WEB). There is power in the name of Jesus to break every chain, silence every lie, and bring peace to every storm. Let us pray together over these things:

Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of Your child, who is crying out for deliverance, protection, and peace. Lord Jesus, You see the depths of their heart—the fears, the guilt, the tormenting thoughts, and the spiritual battles they face. We ask that You, the Prince of Peace, would quiet every storm within them and speak Your truth over every lie the enemy has whispered.
Lord, we break the power of fear, superstition, and false guilt in the name of Jesus. Every accusation against this beloved one is silenced by the blood of the Lamb. If there is any open door through unconfessed sin, we ask that You would reveal it and grant them the grace to repent and walk in freedom. Father, we declare that their mind is renewed by Your Word, and that every hypnotic influence, every spiraling thought, and every voice that is not from You is bound and cast out in Jesus’ name.
We pray for protection over their body, mind, and spirit. Guard them from the schemes of the enemy, and let no weapon formed against them prosper. If there are relatives or others who have caused harm—intentionally or unintentionally—we ask that You would either reconcile those relationships in godly love or remove their influence entirely. Surround this precious one with Your angels, and let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
Father, we also pray for wisdom. If there are medical or emotional needs that require attention, lead them to the right help. Give them discernment to know Your voice above all others. And Lord, we ask that You would fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may walk in power, love, and a sound mind.
Thank You, Jesus, for Your finished work on the cross. Thank You that by Your stripes, we are healed, and by Your resurrection, we have victory. We declare that this beloved child of God is free indeed, and we trust You to complete the good work You have begun in them.
In the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.

Beloved, we encourage you to meditate on the truth of God’s Word daily. Replace every fearful thought with Scripture. When the enemy reminds you of your past, remind him of his future—defeat in the name of Jesus. Stand firm in your identity as a redeemed child of God, and do not give the enemy a foothold through fear or unbelief. If you have not already, we urge you to find a solid, Bible-believing church where you can be discipled, encouraged, and surrounded by fellow believers who will stand with you in prayer.
*"Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be 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, WEB). Walk in this promise, and may the Lord bless you with His peace and presence always.
