Demonic harassment

We have heard your cry and we stand with you in this long and wearying battle, and we take your request for an end to this demonic harassment very seriously. We know how upsetting and exhausting it is to feel targeted for years, and we want you to know you are not alone and you are not without hope, for our Lord Jesus Christ has already won the victory over all the power of the enemy.
The Scripture tells us that our struggle 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 6:12. Yet we are also told to be sober and self-controlled, because your adversary the devil walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour, whom we are to withstand steadfast in our faith 1 Peter 5:8-9. We are given authority in Christ, for He said Behold, I give you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy Luke 10:19, and we are reminded that greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world 1 John 4:4. 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 encourage you to submit yourselves therefore to God, resist the devil, and he will flee from you James 4:7. This means drawing near to God daily through His Word, through prayer, through worship and through obedience. We encourage you to put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil Ephesians 6:11, with truth, righteousness, the preparation of the Good News of peace, faith, salvation, the Word of God, and prayer. Fill your home and your mind with Scripture and with praise rather than fear, and do not give the enemy a foothold through unforgiveness, unconfessed sin, or any involvement with the occult, false spiritual practices, or media that glorifies darkness. If there are any open doors, we urge you to confess them to the Lord and turn from them, and to seek the help of mature, Bible believing pastors or elders who can pray with you in person and walk with you faithfully. God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control 2 Timothy 1:7.
We noticed that your request did not mention the name of Jesus Christ, and we must lovingly tell you that it is only through His name that we have access to God and deliverance from the enemy. Jesus said I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me John 14:6 and there is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved Acts 4:12. It is by calling on the name of Jesus, believing in your heart that God raised Him from the dead and confessing Him as Lord, that you are saved and brought under His protection and authority Romans 10:9. If you have not already done so, we urge you to place your full faith and trust in Jesus Christ alone for salvation and for deliverance, for apart from Him we can do nothing.
We now pray together for you.
Father in heaven, we come before Your throne in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, and we lift up this dear one who has endured years of demonic harassment. Lord, You see the pain, the upset, and the weariness, and You are near to those who are brokenhearted. We ask that You would bring this harassment to an end according to Your perfect will. We rebuke every evil spirit and every work of darkness that has targeted Your child, and we command it to flee in the name of Jesus Christ. Cover this precious soul with the blood of Jesus, surround them with Your holy angels, and let no weapon formed against them prosper. Fill their mind with Your peace which surpasses all understanding Philippians 4:7, and guard their heart and thoughts in Christ Jesus. Help them to stand firm in faith, to walk in repentance and obedience, to be filled with Your Holy Spirit, and to know deeply that You are their refuge and strength. Grant them godly counsel, fellowship, and rest, and let them know the freedom and victory that is theirs in Christ. We ask all of this in the powerful name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, amen.

We read your request and we are standing with you in prayer. To carry something for years that leaves you feeling targeted and harassed is exhausting, and it makes sense that some parts of it would leave you feeling especially upset and worn down. You are not forgotten, and you do not have to carry this alone before the Lord.
We are asking God to bring you relief and quiet, to guard your heart and mind with His peace, and to give you wisdom and steadiness for each day ahead. When something has gone on a long time it can feel very isolating, so we want to encourage you not to walk through it by yourself.
If you have a trusted pastor or a mature believer who knows you well, consider inviting that person to walk more closely with you in person, to pray with you face to face, to check in regularly, and to help you stay anchored in fellowship, prayer, and rest. Having steady, personal support alongside ongoing prayer can help you keep perspective and not feel so alone in the waiting.
Father, we lift our friend to You now. You see how long this has lasted and how heavy it feels. We ask for Your nearness and protection, for peace that steadies heart and mind, and for wisdom for each next step. Provide faithful people nearby to support and pray, and lead gently toward lasting freedom and wholeness in Your way and timing. In Jesus' name, amen.

Beloved of All
Your long and painful trial under demonic harassment, borne now for years, has been heard and we bring your cause before the Lord with earnest prayer for your deliverance.
There is a word that meets your case, "Then He is gracious unto him, and says, Deliver him from going down to the Pit: I have found a ransom." In all that God does He acts from good reasons, and He has not only invented a way of deliverance but has found a ransom as a gift of Divine Love. The King's own Son has borne the penalty of all our iniquities, and God has given commandment to save you and you shall be saved, saved from yourself and from all the attacks of your old sins, saved from the devil, saved from evil company. This is not of him that wills, nor of him that runs, but of God that shows mercy. No true liberty comes but that of which Christ makes you free, and unless a supernatural power is put forth, any form of deliverance is worth nothing. When any man is saved from spiritual bondage it is the Lord Jesus who loosens the captive.
We know this arrow of which you speak is one very often shot from Satan's bow, and some have been wounded by it scores of times. It is a poisoned arrow and its power is felt sorely. Yet the Scripture declares that He has delivered us from the power of darkness. Deliverance from the power of sin is as much the work of God as deliverance from the guilt of sin, and we must look to our heavenly Father altogether and alone for it. He has taught many to see the mischief that comes from the power of darkness and to say, He has delivered us from its fascinating power, and now you tempt me in vain.
It is well to have grace enough to see that tribulation does not spring out of the dust, but that the Lord Himself kindles the fiery furnace and sits as a Refiner at the door. Our afflictions may come distinctly through malice and persecution, and through the assaults of the enemy, and yet they may come with greater certainty from the Lord and be bounded by His special love to us. That which we receive from the rod of the Lord bears the blessed aspect of chastening from a Father's hand, and this makes even the sharpest smart to be profitable. For this reason we may wisely moderate our anger against second causes, and look to Him who both permits the trial and limits it.
We pray now for you, that the gracious God would say over you, Deliver him. That He would keep back your soul from the Pit and your life from perishing, that He would rebuke the adversary and grant you peace within your borders, screened from inward doubts and from the plague of sin. May He who brought Israel out of Egypt with power bring you out of this Egypt of sorrow by His own divine power. May He give you to say with the psalmist, The Lord has chastened me sorely, but He has not given me over unto death. I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.
We ask the Lord to make you to know that you can do nothing of yourself to effect this deliverance, and therefore that all the honor must be of Free Grace only, and to give you rest in the ransom found in Christ Jesus. May He guard your heart and mind, keep you from the expedients of the enemy, and bring you into that quiet place where you are delivered from the noise of archers and may sing songs of deliverance to His glory. We plead the blood of Christ for you, trusting that He who has begun this good work will perfect it in His own time, for things can never be so bad but that God can bring deliverance in His own time.
