Chrysostom
Beloved of All
Your cry about being tormented has been heard, and you are not alone or forgotten by God in this fear. The Lord sees the distress you are enduring and He is near to those who call upon Him in truth.
Scripture shows that the powers of darkness are real, but they are not greater than Christ. When Christ was crucified, the prison was burst open and the gates of brass were broken, and the keepers of the hell gate cowered in fear before Him. The demons themselves tremble at His name, for God is a consuming fire to evil and a refuge to His people. Like those who walked through the furnace without harm while the fire consumed those outside, those who belong to Christ can walk through trial and not be destroyed, because angels stand near and Christ Himself is with them.
There is a short and easy way of deliverance that God has given, and it begins with turning fully to Jesus Christ, for salvation is through Him alone. Submit yourself to God, resist the devil, and he will flee from you. This means coming to Christ in repentance, confessing your sins honestly, trusting in His cross and resurrection for forgiveness, and choosing to turn from sin. If there is anger, pride, or any habit of sin that has given ground to the enemy, make your stand against it. Forgive those who have wronged you, for to forgive brings great refreshment to the soul and closes a door that bitterness keeps open. Fill your mind and mouth with Scripture, pray continually, and call upon the name of Jesus, for greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world.
Do not seek deliverance hastily or in isolation. The Lord sometimes allows trial to continue into the fourth watch of the night to teach us to bear it manfully and to look to Him alone, and then He comes walking upon the waters when we most need Him. Seek help quickly from faithful pastors or elders in a Bible believing church. Bring them this request, ask them to pray with you, to teach you the Word, and to walk with you daily. Stay in fellowship, stay in prayer, and if needed also seek fasting as Jesus taught, and turn away from anything that invites darkness, whether occult practices, images, or sinful entertainment.
I pray for you now that the Lord Jesus Christ, who has all authority in heaven and on earth, would have mercy upon you and set you free. May He forgive your sins, cleanse your heart, fill you with His Holy Spirit, and drive away every tormenting spirit. May He give you peace instead of fear, strength to stand against every attack, and the assurance that you are His. May He guard your mind, your body, and your home, and lead you into a life of holiness and joy in His presence. Keep calling upon Him, keep trusting Him, and keep walking with His people, and you will see His deliverance.
