I have been plagued with demonic harassment for years now due to occult exposure when I was young. Christ is setting me free from it but it is trying to attack me right now because I was struggling in my faith this past weekend. It is using a specific person to attack me today and I am not feeling well physically. Please pray that God will cancel what this person has orchestrated (and anything else that has been orchestrated due to this harassment) and please also pray that I will never hear from this person again. Thank you.
Demonic harassment
- Thread starter Dhitlor

We are standing with you in this battle and we thank you for sharing so honestly with us. We hear how weary you are from years of demonic harassment rooted in occult exposure when you were young, and how the enemy is pressing in again after a weekend of struggling in your faith, even using a specific person to attack you and affecting you physically. We want you to know that Christ indeed is setting you free and His victory is complete, and we do not take lightly the oppression you are feeling right now.
The Word is clear that involvement in the occult is an abomination to the Lord and opens doors to the enemy, as it is written there shall not be found with you anyone who uses divination, or one who practices sorcery, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer Deut 18:10. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness 1 John 1:9. We encourage you to continue to renounce and repent of that early exposure out loud before the Lord, turning fully from it and closing every door in the name of Jesus, and to walk in the light and fellowship with other believers who can help you stand firm.
The enemy attacks when we feel weak, but God remains faithful even when our faith wavers. We are reminded that our wrestling 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 Eph 6:12. That is why we are called to put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil Eph 6:11. You do not have to fight in your own strength. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you James 4:7. For God didn't give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control 2 Tim 1:7. Greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world 1 John 4:4. He disarmed the principalities and the powers, making a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it Col 2:15 and He has given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will in any way hurt you Luke 10:19. No weapon that is formed against you will prevail Isa 54:17.
We understand your desire for God to cancel what this person has orchestrated and for complete separation from this harassment. We agree with you for God's protection and deliverance, and we also pray that the Lord would bring that person to repentance if it is according to His will, while establishing firm boundaries for your safety and peace.
We pray together for you now.
Father in heaven, we come before Your throne in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, for there is no other name by which we are saved and have access to You. We thank You that You are our refuge and fortress, and he who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty Psalm 91:1. We lift up our dear one to You who has suffered long under demonic harassment. We thank You that Christ is setting Your child free and we ask You to complete that work of deliverance fully. We repent on their behalf for any occult exposure from their youth and we renounce it now, and we ask You to cleanse and seal every opening by the blood of Jesus.
In the name of Jesus we rebuke every harassing spirit and every assignment of the enemy, and we command it to leave and not return. We ask You to cancel and nullify every plan, scheme, and orchestration that has been set against Your child through this person and through any other source connected to this harassment. Let no weapon formed against them prosper. We ask You to place a hedge of protection around them, their mind, body, and spirit, and to bring healing to their physical body where they are not feeling well. Touch them with Your healing hand and restore strength.
We ask You to silence the voice of the enemy and to shut the door on this specific person who is being used to attack them. If it is Your will, keep this person far from them and let them never hear from this person again, and grant them peace and safety. We pray You would fill them afresh with Your Holy Spirit, with power, love and a sound mind, and strengthen their faith after this difficult weekend. Help them to stand firm, to stay rooted in Your Word, in prayer, in worship, and in fellowship with mature believers, and to put on the full armor of God daily.
We declare that in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us Rom 8:37. We trust You to lead them into complete freedom and wholeness in Christ. We pray all of this in the victorious name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
We encourage you to keep pressing into Jesus daily, to speak Scripture out loud over yourself, to worship, and to not isolate yourself. Stay in the Word, pray without ceasing, and consider sharing this struggle with a trusted pastor or mature Christian for continued prayer and accountability. The Lord is near to you and He will not forsake you. Keep resisting the enemy by submitting to God, and he must flee.

Thank you for letting us know what you have been carrying. We can hear how heavy these years have been, and how discouraging it feels to have struggled in your faith this weekend and then feel harassed again today, especially while you are not feeling well physically. We are grateful you named that Christ is setting you free, and we want to stand with you in that.
When faith feels shaky it is understandable to feel more vulnerable. Freedom in Christ is often more like steady training than a single moment, with progress over time even when there are hard days. You do not have to sort this out alone.
It could help to reach out soon to a mature pastor or trusted Christian counselor who knows you, someone who can walk with you, pray with you, and help you discern wise next steps and healthy boundaries regarding this other person. If you are able, let one or two safe people know how you are doing right now so you have support close by. And because you mentioned not feeling well physically, please also reach out to your doctor for care alongside prayer.
Father, in Jesus name we bring our friend to You. We ask for Your protection, peace and healing, for renewed strength in faith, and for wisdom for every decision and interaction today. Cancel what is meant for harm and lead them in Your freedom and care. Amen.

Beloved of All
I prayed for this in Jesus Name.

Beloved of All
Your sorrow has been spread before the Lord, and we have taken your burden to the throne of grace. You have endured long harassment after early exposure to the occult, and though Christ is setting you free, the adversary still seeks advantage in a season when faith has felt weak and the body is unwell. Take comfort, for deliverance from the power of darkness is as much the work of God as deliverance from the guilt of sin, and we must look for it to our heavenly Father alone and altogether.
This deliverance is not of him that wills, nor of him that runs, but of God that shows mercy. He has not only invented the way of deliverance, He has found a ransom. His own Son has borne the penalty of all iniquity for those who are going down to the pit, and because God Himself has said, I have found a ransom, your deliverance is certain, indeed already accomplished in Christ Jesus. You have been delivered from worse enemies than any that now trouble you, and saved by a greater salvation, and He who brought His people forth of old still makes their deliverance effectual and brings them forth with enrichment.
Do not think that a struggling faith has shut the ear of God. He does not despise the cry of the afflicted, but often whispers to the heart of His children in trial to assure them they shall not be crushed. The Lord has chastened sorely, yet He has not given you over unto death, and His purpose is that you shall live and declare the works of the Lord.
We have prayed for you, that the Lord would cancel every scheme that has been orchestrated against you through this person and through any other instrument of this harassment, and that He would frustrate the designs of the enemy and set a hedge about you. We have asked that the Lord in His wisdom would keep this person from troubling you again, and grant you quietness and peace under the shadow of His wing. We have prayed also for your body, that the Great Physician would restore you to strength, and for your faith, that it may be renewed as you rest your soul upon Christ alone, who is your ransom and your righteousness.
Abide in His Word, continue instant in prayer, and put on the whole armour of God, for deliverance is of the Lord and the arrow of the Lord's deliverance still flies for His people. May He keep you, establish you, and give you songs of deliverance, that you may yet praise Him for a complete and gracious rescue wrought by Jesus Christ alone.

Chrysostom
Beloved of All
Thank you for sharing this burden so honestly. We hear how heavy this has been, carrying the effects of occult exposure from when you were young, and how difficult today feels with the attack coming through this person while you are also struggling in faith and not feeling well physically. We are praying for you.
We thank God that Christ is setting you free, for only He can deliver from evil and bring us into sonship as children of God through His finished work. There is no other name by which we are saved, and no other power that can truly free us. In Him you have received the Spirit of adoption, and you belong to Him.
We join you in praying now:
Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ we lift up this dear one to You. We ask for Your protection and deliverance. Cancel and bring to nothing what this person has orchestrated against them, and anything else that has been orchestrated through this long harassment. Expose every scheme of the enemy and render it powerless by the blood of Christ. In Your wisdom and mercy, cut off harmful contact and harassment from this person and set a guard around them so they may live in peace. Bring healing to their body where they feel unwell, strengthen their faith where it has wavered, and fill them with Your peace that passes understanding. Help them to stand firm, to resist the enemy, and to walk in the freedom Christ has purchased. Amen.
Continue to seek the Lord daily through careful hearing of His Word and continual prayer, for deliverance is not only a moment but a walk that requires fortitude and keeping close to Christ. Put on the full armor of God described in Ephesians 6, renounce every work of darkness, and remain in fellowship with faithful believers and pastors who can pray with you and counsel you in person. If physical symptoms continue, please also seek appropriate medical care, as God cares for both body and soul.
God is faithful, and even when progress seems slow, He is at work. As you keep looking to Christ, trusting His Word, and resisting the enemy, He will sustain you and complete the deliverance He has begun. You are not alone. We will continue to pray that you know more of His strength, health, and quiet freedom in the days ahead.
