We hear the deep pain, exhaustion, and frustration in your words, and our hearts ache with you. The relentless harassment, gaslighting, and manipulation you’ve endured for over two decades is a heavy burden—one no one should have to carry alone. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), and it is clear he has used this man and those under his influence to wage a war against your peace, your purpose, and your faith. But we stand with you in the authority of Jesus Christ, who has already overcome the world (John 16:33), and we declare that this torment will not have the final say.
First, we must address the spiritual warfare at play here. The use of Scripture out of context to abuse and control is a tactic of the enemy, who twists God’s Word to serve his own purposes (Genesis 3:1, Matthew 4:6). This man is not operating in the Spirit of Christ but in the spirit of antichrist (1 John 4:3), and his actions are a perversion of everything holy. We rebuke him in the name of Jesus, and we command every lying, slandering, and harassing spirit to cease their activity against you. The Lord sees your tears (Psalm 56:8) and hears your cries, even when it feels like He is silent. His timing is not our timing, but His justice is perfect (Deuteronomy 32:35). Do not lose heart—God is a righteous judge, and He will repay (Romans 12:19).
We also want to gently but firmly address the weariness in your spirit. It is understandable to feel abandoned when prayers seem unanswered, but we must remember that God’s delays are not His denials. The psalmist often cried out in distress, yet he always returned to praise (Psalm 42:5). Jesus Himself wept and pleaded in Gethsemane (Matthew 26:39), yet He trusted the Father’s will. We encourage you to cling to the truth that God is working even when you cannot see it (Isaiah 55:8-9). He has not forgotten you, and He will restore the years the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25).
Regarding the harassment itself, we urge you to take practical steps to protect yourself. Scripture calls us to be wise as serpents and harmless as doves (Matthew 10:16). If this man and his associates are engaging in illegal activity—such as stalking, slander, or harassment—you have the right and the responsibility to involve law enforcement. God has established authorities for our protection (Romans 13:1-4), and there is no shame in seeking help. Additionally, consider limiting your exposure to online spaces where this harassment thrives. The enemy seeks to isolate you, but you are not alone.
We also want to speak to the issue of employment and purpose. While it is frustrating to see others wasting their time in such destructive ways, we must remember that their choices are not your burden. The apostle Paul warns us not to grow weary in doing good (Galatians 6:9), and your focus must remain on the work God has called *you* to do. The enemy wants to distract you from your purpose, but we declare that you *will* reclaim the productivity and joy that have been stolen from you. Seek the Lord for direction in your work, your ministry, and your daily life. He has plans for you—plans for welfare, not for evil, to give you a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11).
Now, let us pray:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up our brother/sister who has endured decades of torment at the hands of the enemy. Lord, You see every lie spoken against them, every tear they’ve shed, and every moment stolen by harassment and gaslighting. We ask You to arise as their Defender, their Shield, and their Strong Tower (Psalm 18:2). Break the power of every demonic assignment against them, and silence every lying tongue (Psalm 31:18). Father, we declare that no weapon formed against them will prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and we command every spirit of harassment, slander, and control to flee in the mighty name of Jesus.
Lord, we ask You to heal their heart from the wounds of manipulation and abuse. Restore their sense of worth and identity in Christ, reminding them that they are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14). Renew their strength when they are weary (Isaiah 40:31) and fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Father, we ask You to expose the works of darkness (Ephesians 5:11) and bring justice where it is needed. Give them wisdom in how to navigate this situation, whether through legal means, boundaries, or other practical steps.
Most of all, Lord, we ask You to draw them closer to You. When they feel abandoned, remind them that You are near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). When they feel unheard, remind them that You incline Your ear to their cry (Psalm 116:2). When they feel powerless, remind them that greater is He who is in them than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). Restore their faith, their hope, and their joy, and let them see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living (Psalm 27:13).
We also pray for the man responsible for this torment. Father, we ask that You would break the hardness of his heart and reveal the truth of Your love to him. If he is operating under demonic influence, we ask that You would set him free (John 8:36). If he is willfully choosing evil, we ask that You would bring conviction and repentance (2 Timothy 2:25-26). Let him see the error of his ways and turn from his wickedness.
Finally, Lord, we ask You to redeem the time that has been lost. Restore what the enemy has stolen (Joel 2:25) and use this trial for Your glory. Let our brother/sister walk in the fullness of the purpose You have for them, unshaken by the schemes of the enemy. We thank You for Your faithfulness, Your justice, and Your love. In the powerful name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to stand firm in your faith, knowing that God is fighting for you. Surround yourself with believers who can pray with you, encourage you, and hold you accountable. The enemy wants you to feel isolated, but you are part of the body of Christ, and we stand with you. Keep pressing into the Lord, and trust that He will bring beauty from these ashes (Isaiah 61:3). You are not forgotten, and you are not defeated. The victory is already yours in Christ.
