We are deeply grieved to hear of the spiritual and emotional torment you are enduring, but we take heart in knowing that our God is greater than any scheme of the enemy. The attacks you describe are not merely human in origin but are rooted in the spiritual forces of evil that seek to oppress, confuse, and destroy. Yet, we stand on the truth of Scripture that declares, *"Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings"* (1 Peter 5:8-9, WEB). You are not alone in this battle, and the Lord has equipped you with His armor to stand firm.
First, we must address the reality of what you are facing. The harassment you describe—through witchcraft, emotional manipulation, and demonic oppression—is a direct assault from the enemy, often empowered by those who willingly align themselves with darkness. Your aunt’s behavior, as you rightly observed, mirrors the spirit of Jezebel, a biblical symbol of manipulation, control, and spiritual wickedness (Revelation 2:20-23). Such spirits thrive on fear, confusion, and ungodly soul ties, which is why you feel the intensity of these attacks even when you are not in direct contact with these individuals. The fact that you once dabbled in the New Age also opened doors to the enemy, but praise God, you have returned to Christ! Repentance and renouncing those past involvements are critical steps in closing those doors permanently. If you have not already done so, we strongly urge you to verbally renounce any participation in New Age practices, occult activities, or ungodly agreements (spiritual or otherwise) in the name of Jesus Christ. *"Therefore, come out from among them, and be separate, says the Lord. Don’t touch the unclean thing. I will receive you"* (2 Corinthians 6:17, WEB).
It is also vital to recognize that these attacks are not happening by chance—they are targeted because you are a child of God, and the enemy seeks to derail your faith, peace, and purpose. But remember, *"You are of God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world"* (1 John 4:4, WEB). The distress you feel, even when you believe you are "fine," is a sign of the spiritual battle raging around you. Your emotions are reacting to the unseen, but the Lord is exposing these attacks so that you can stand against them in His authority.
We notice that your prayer request did not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, and this is something we must address with urgency. There is no other name by which we can be saved, protected, or delivered. *"There is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). It is only through the name of Jesus that we have authority over the enemy. When you pray, speak, or resist these attacks, you *must* do so in the name of Jesus Christ. He is your shield, your deliverer, and your victory. If you have not yet fully surrendered your life to Him or if you have any doubt about your salvation, now is the time to repent and place your complete trust in Him. *"That if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation"* (Romans 10:9-10, WEB).
Now, let us pray for you with the authority and power given to us in Christ Jesus:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Your beloved child who is under relentless attack from the forces of darkness. Lord, we thank You that You are a God who sees, who hears, and who acts on behalf of Your people. We declare that no weapon formed against this Your servant shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment, You shall condemn (Isaiah 54:17). Father, we bind every demonic spirit assigned to torment, harass, or oppress this precious one—whether through witchcraft, Jezebel, narcissism, fear, anxiety, or any other unclean spirit. We command these spirits to be silenced, bound, and cast into the abyss in the name of Jesus Christ. We break every curse, hex, spell, or ungodly assignment sent against them, and we declare that the blood of Jesus Christ renders every one of them powerless.
Lord, we ask that You expose every hidden scheme of the enemy. Reveal to this Your child any open doors, ungodly soul ties, or areas of their life that need to be surrendered to You. Give them discernment to recognize the tactics of the enemy and wisdom to stand firm in Your truth. Father, we pray for a supernatural peace that surpasses all understanding to guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Remove every trace of anxiety, distress, and fear, and replace it with Your perfect love, which casts out all fear (1 John 4:18). Strengthen them in their inner being by Your Holy Spirit, and let them walk in the confidence that they are more than a conqueror through Christ who loves them (Romans 8:37).
We also pray for their family, Lord. We ask that You break the influence of this wicked aunt and any others who are aligned with darkness. Open the eyes of their family members who are being deceived, and set them free from the bonds of manipulation and witchcraft. Let truth prevail, and let Your light expose every dark work. Father, we ask that You surround this Your child with Your heavenly angels, encamping around them to protect them from every evil attack (Psalm 34:7). Let them walk in the authority of Jesus Christ, knowing that they have been given power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy (Luke 10:19).
Lord, we thank You that You are their refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). We declare that they will not be moved by the schemes of the enemy, for their trust is in You. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, and let them walk in victory, knowing that the battle belongs to You. We ask all these things in the powerful, matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Finally, we urge you to take practical steps in this spiritual battle. Here are some biblical actions you can take:
1. **Put on the full armor of God daily** (Ephesians 6:10-18). This is not optional—it is your protection. Pray through each piece of the armor, asking the Lord to clothe you with His truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, and the Word of God.
2. **Pray aloud and declare Scripture over your life**. The enemy flees at the sound of God’s Word. Speak verses like Psalm 91, Psalm 23, and Isaiah 54:17 over yourself daily. Command the enemy to flee in the name of Jesus.
3. **Break ungodly soul ties**. If you have not already, renounce and break any ungodly connections with your aunt, the group harassing you, or any past involvement in the New Age. You can pray something like: *"In the name of Jesus Christ, I renounce and break every ungodly soul tie, curse, or agreement with [name the individuals or practices]. I command every demonic spirit assigned to me through these connections to leave me now and go to the feet of Jesus Christ for judgment. I belong to God, and I am covered by the blood of Jesus."*
4. **Guard your mind and emotions**. The enemy attacks through fear, anxiety, and confusion. When you feel these emotions rising, rebuke them in Jesus’ name and replace them with Scripture. *"For God hasn’t given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control"* (2 Timothy 1:7, WEB).
5. **Stay in fellowship with believers**. Isolation makes you more vulnerable to attack. Surround yourself with strong, prayerful believers who can stand with you in this battle.
6. **Forgive those who have wronged you**. Unforgiveness gives the enemy a foothold. Forgiveness does not mean what they did was okay—it means you release them to God’s justice. *"Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you"* (Ephesians 4:32, WEB).
7. **Walk in obedience to God’s Word**. Sin can give the enemy legal rights to torment you. Examine your life and repent of anything that does not align with Scripture. *"Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you"* (James 4:7, WEB).
You are not powerless in this situation. The same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead lives in you, and He has given you authority over the enemy. Stand firm, and do not give up. The Lord is with you, and He will bring you through this victory. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, and trust that He is fighting for you even when you cannot see it. *"Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness"* (Isaiah 41:10, WEB). We are standing with you in prayer, and we believe that the Lord will bring complete deliverance and restoration to your life. Stay strong in Him!
