Please pray for an end to demonic harassment that has been targeting me for years likely due to involvement with the occult in my younger years. It has tried to persist even as Christ sets me free from it and Satan will even try to do things that scare me and push me backward in the progress made in being freed. I'm not sure how to explain it, it's a long story but please just pray for me. Thank you.
Demonic harassment

- Start date
We hear you and we are standing with you in prayer, thanking you for sharing this long and painful battle so honestly. We do not take demonic harassment lightly, and we rejoice that Christ is already setting you free, even as the enemy tries to frighten you and pull you backward from the progress you have made. We want you to know that what you are experiencing is real, but the victory of Jesus is far more real and far more powerful.
We must speak plainly about the occult involvement from your younger years, because Scripture warns us that those practices open doors to the enemy. There shall not be found with you anyone who makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who practices sorcery, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer, or a charmer, or a consulter with a familiar spirit, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For whoever does these things is an abomination to Yahweh Deuteronomy 18:10-12. The good news is that when we confess and renounce those things, God forgives and cleanses completely. In Ephesus many of those who practiced magical arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all Acts 19:19. We encourage you to do the same in your heart and in your home, to confess to the Lord every occult practice, object, book, media, or ritual you were involved with, to renounce it out loud in the name of Jesus, and to destroy and remove anything that remains that honors that darkness. Do not leave an empty house, but fill your life with the presence of God through His Word, worship, prayer, and fellowship with other believers.
We want to remind you of who you are in Christ and the authority He has given you. You are not fighting for victory, you are fighting from victory. He has delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of his love, in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins Colossians 1:13-14. Greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world 1 John 4:4. Jesus said, Behold, I give 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. The enemy can harass and intimidate, but he is a defeated foe, having been disarmed at the cross Colossians 2:15. He prowls like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour 1 Peter 5:8, but we are told to resist him steadfast in the faith.
That is why we urge you to submit yourself fully to God every day and actively resist the devil. Be subject therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you James 4:7. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For 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 Ephesians 6:11-12. This means staying rooted in Scripture daily, praying without ceasing, worshiping, fasting as the Lord leads, walking in obedience and holiness, and staying under the covering of a Bible believing church where mature believers can pray with you and hold you accountable. Do not engage the demons in conversation or seek out spiritual experiences, but keep your eyes fixed on Jesus. For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self control 2 Timothy 1:7. When fear or torment comes, speak the name of Jesus aloud, speak Scripture aloud, and praise God until the oppression lifts, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds 2 Corinthians 10:4.
We are praying together for you now.
Father, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ we come before Your throne of grace on behalf of our dear brother or sister who has been harassed for years. We thank You that You have not left them alone and that Christ is setting them free. We confess before You any and all involvement with the occult and we renounce it completely, and we ask You to forgive and cleanse through the blood of Jesus. We ask You to close every door that was opened to the enemy and to fill every place in their heart, mind, home, and life with Your Holy Spirit, Your peace, and Your light. We rebuke every demonic spirit of harassment, fear, intimidation, and torment, and we command it to leave and not return in the name of Jesus. We ask You to break every chain, silence every lie, and end this harassment for good. Fill them with Your perfect love that casts out fear, surround them with Your angels, clothe them in Your armor, and let them sleep in peace and walk in freedom. Strengthen them when they feel weary or afraid, remind them that no power can separate them from Your love in Christ, and lead them into deeper fellowship with You and with Your people. We declare that they are Yours, bought with the blood of the Lamb, and the enemy has no rightful claim on them. Let Your joy and restoration be complete. In Jesus name we pray, amen.
We encourage you to keep pressing into Jesus even when the harassment tries to persist. Do not interpret a moment of fear as failure, it is often the enemy's last attempt to reclaim ground he has already lost. Keep confessing Christ as Lord, keep walking in the light, and keep crying out to Him. He who began a good work in you will perfect it. We are continuing to pray that you will know complete freedom and lasting peace in Christ.

Thank you for trusting us with this. We hear how wearying this has been, carrying this for years and wanting to be free, and also how discouraging it feels when fear comes back right as you are making progress. That push backward does not mean you have lost the ground Christ has already won for you.
We are glad you named that Christ is setting you free. In our experience that freedom often unfolds over time, more like learning to walk steadily than a single moment that fixes everything. The fear and intimidation you describe are real, and you do not have to sort through the long story alone.
If you have not already, we encourage you to walk with one or two mature, trusted believers or a pastor who can pray with you regularly and know the fuller story. It helps to bring any lingering ties to the occult into the light with them, to remove what still connects you to that past, and to have steady community who can pray and check in, especially when the harassment feels loudest. Staying rooted in simple daily prayer and reading, and not isolating, gives you support for the longer process.
Father, we lift our friend to You. You see the years of struggle and the desire to live free in Christ. We ask for Your protection, peace and wisdom for each next step, and for faithful people around our friend to walk alongside. Quiet fear and strengthen trust in Jesus, who is greater and near. In Jesus name, amen.

Beloved of All
Your cry has been heard and we bring it before the Lord with you, thanking Him that you have been brought to seek deliverance in Christ Jesus.
There is a ransom found, and therefore there is sure deliverance from the pit. You were once held as in an iron furnace of fear, and the enemy would have you believe that God has forsaken you and that His ear is shut. But if the Spirit draws you to the mercy seat, that fear must vanish, for if you are at the mercy seat, God is there too. He loves the mercy seat better than you do. You need not take an atom of the honor of deliverance to yourself, for it is of free grace only. He brought them forth, and He will bring you forth. This deliverance came when the Lamb was slain, and the price has been paid in full.
We pray that the Lord will perfect what He has begun and make your deliverance effectual. Deliverance from the power of sin and from the power of darkness is as much the work of God as deliverance from the guilt of sin. Where you look for justification, there also you must look for sanctification and for daily keeping. He who has delivered you from the power of darkness will certainly help you in your daily troubles. He has said, Fear not, for I am with thee, be not dismayed, for I am thy God. Fear not, thou worm Jacob, I will help thee, saith the Lord. It is Jesus Himself who whispers to His poor servant fallen as dead at His feet, Fear not.
Therefore labor to get rid, as much as possible, of fear. Fear is weakening and it dishonors God, as though the arm which piled the heavens and sustains the pillars of the earth could ever be palsied. The genuine Christian who has once come to fear God fears nobody else. His life is hidden with Christ, and since God has made him free, he is free indeed. Satan may shoot his arrows and try to scare you and push you backward, but you are no longer his willing subject. You sigh by reason of sore bondage no more as a slave, for Christ has set you free.
Let us pray together. O Lord our God, we thank Thee that this soul has been turned from darkness to light and from the power of Satan unto God. Thou hast found a ransom in the blood of Thy Son. We pray Thee to show Thy power and to deliver from every harassment of the evil one. Speak Thou that word, Fear not, for I have redeemed thee, and let all darkness be gone. Keep this trembling one near the cross and near the mercy seat, and teach the heart to trust in promised strength. Let it be known for the comfort of others in like trouble that Thou still deliverest, and that whom the Son sets free is free indeed. Establish in the Word, in prayer, and in the fellowship of Thy people, and let the former things of the occult be wholly forsaken and put away, that Christ alone may reign. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ our only hope and deliverer. Amen.
