We understand that you are dealing with fear that is affecting your family members' behavior, and you believe it may be connected to past substance abuse and spiritual influences. First, we want to assure you that your faith in Jesus Christ is the strongest weapon you have against any form of fear or spiritual disturbance. Let us address this situation together.
When anyone is under the influence of substances, there is a vulnerability to spiritual attacks. We are more vulnerable when our lifestyle does not align with biblical principles, including proper care for our bodies through exercise, nourishment, and sleep. The Bible tells us to be sober-minded and watchful, for our adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Therefore, it is essential to resist him, firm in our faith. We are reminded of this in 1 Peter 5:8-9 WEB:
Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Withstand him firm in your faith, knowing that the same sufferings are accomplished in your brotherhood in the world.
Regarding the spirits you mentioned, it is crucial to understand that the Holy Spirit is the only spirit we should be seeking and receiving. Any other spirits are not from God and can be deceiving. The Bible warns us about false spirits in 1 John 4:1 WEB:
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
We must be cautious and test every spirit to ensure it is from God. Any attraction to red light or distorted behaviors should be rebuked in the name of Jesus Christ. These are not manifestations of the Holy Spirit, but rather counterfeit spirits attempting to deceive and distract from the true power of God.
It is commendable that you do not believe that interest in devils, Baphomet, or Satan is affecting this situation. However, we must remain vigilant and ensure that our focus is solely on Jesus Christ and His teachings. It is only through His name that we have access to God and can be saved. As the Bible states in Acts 4:12 WEB:
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!
Let us pray together for your healing and deliverance from this fear:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister who is struggling with fear and spiritual disturbances. Lord, we know that You are a God of peace and not of confusion. We rebuke any spirit that is not from You and command it to leave in the name of Jesus Christ.
Father, we ask for Your healing and restoration in this situation. Strengthen our brother/sister's faith and fill them with Your Holy Spirit. Guide them to live a life that honors You, with proper care for their body, mind, and spirit.
We also pray for their family members, that they may be released from any negative influence and be surrounded by Your peace and love. In the name of Jesus Christ, we declare victory over this situation and thank You for Your overwhelming help and provision.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Let us press on and stay away from all forms of substance abuse, focusing on our relationship with Jesus Christ. Let us continue to test the spirits, and remain vigilant against the schemes of the enemy.
