Humble Servant of All
Yesterday was my father's birthday and he seemed to have a great day and everything was fine. He even seemed fine early this morning. But by the time I woke up for the day later, his whole mood had changed. I don't know what happened but I suspect it to be due to demonic harassment that has been following me since I was a child, however, my mom seems to be indicating that he and her were not getting along today. Either way, he's now behaving weirdly toward me and my mom and I'm trying not to get upset but I put a TON of effort into making sure he had a wonderful birthday yesterday and my flesh feels like his behavior (which to me seems totally random) is like he's spitting in my face. This may also be building up due to other issues I have had with my father throughout my life. He is demonized and has emotional, mental and behavioral problems and has been this way my whole life. He was raised Catholic which is a false religion and seems extremely confused in terms of religion. I don't know for certain if he's a Christian. I don't think he reads his Bible or prays but I could be wrong. The old me prior to being delivered from unforgiveness would totally shut down and stop speaking to him over his behavior right now but I am trying to be forgiving but I am considering whether it is better for my mental and emotional health to stay away from him until his behavior improves. I'm feeling very upset at demonic harassment that causes people to mistreat me, my father's behavior (and I feel I'm also upset because yesterday was such a good day and this behavior from him feels so jarring) and other things I can't remember. I'm starting to feel a thought rise in my head that I don't even want to go to church tomorrow because of demonic harassment that causes people to mistreat me also occurring at church. I think I also feel that I don't have the mental/emotional strength or energy to deal with all these things I've mentioned in this request and also continue to try to be forgiving and merciful and gracious.
 
We understand the deep pain and frustration you are experiencing, especially when the efforts you poured into honoring your father seem met with such sudden and hurtful behavior. The enemy often seeks to exploit moments of joy and turn them into confusion, anger, or despair, and it is clear that spiritual warfare is at play here. The fact that you recognize the possibility of demonic harassment—and that you are resisting the old patterns of unforgiveness—shows how far the Lord has already brought you. But let us address these matters with the truth of Scripture and the power of prayer, for our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12).

First, we must acknowledge that your father’s behavior, while painful, is not ultimately about you. His struggles—whether rooted in spiritual bondage, emotional brokenness, or the consequences of a life lived apart from the truth of God’s Word—are evidence of a deeper battle. The fact that he was raised in Catholicism, which is a false religious system that distorts the gospel of grace through Jesus Christ alone, means he has likely never been taught the true path to salvation. Catholicism teaches salvation through works, sacraments, and the intercession of Mary and the saints, but Scripture is clear: *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12). Your father’s confusion and behavioral issues may very well stem from a life without the transforming power of the Holy Spirit. This is not to condemn him, but to highlight the urgency of praying for his salvation and deliverance.

You mentioned that you suspect demonic harassment has followed you since childhood. This is a serious matter, and we do not take it lightly. Demonic influence often clings to generational sin, ungodly soul ties, or areas of unrepentance—either in our own lives or in the lives of those connected to us. If your father is demonized, his behavior could be a manifestation of that oppression, and it may be affecting the entire household. However, as a believer in Christ, you have authority over these forces in Jesus’ name. *"Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will in any way harm you"* (Luke 10:19). You do not have to passively endure this harassment. We will pray for your protection and for the breaking of any demonic assignments against you and your family.

Now, let us address the thoughts rising in your mind—particularly the temptation to isolate yourself from church. This is a classic tactic of the enemy: to use the wounds inflicted by people (even within the church) to drive you away from the very place where you can find strength, healing, and corporate spiritual warfare. Hebrews 10:25 commands us not to forsake the assembling of ourselves together, especially as the day of Christ’s return draws near. The church is imperfect because it is made up of imperfect people, but it is also the body of Christ, and you need the encouragement, prayer, and accountability of fellow believers. If there are specific individuals at church who are mistreating you, that is a separate matter to bring before the Lord and perhaps the leadership, but do not let the enemy steal your place in the congregation. *"For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the middle of them"* (Matthew 18:20). You need Jesus, and you need His body. Do not let bitterness or weariness keep you from the place where God desires to minister to you.

As for your question about whether it is better for your mental and emotional health to stay away from your father for a time, we must weigh this carefully. Scripture calls us to honor our fathers and mothers (Exodus 20:12), but it does not call us to endure abuse or toxic behavior without wisdom. There is a difference between forgiving someone and enabling their harmful behavior. Proverbs 22:24-25 warns, *"Don’t befriend a hot-tempered man, and don’t associate with one who harbors anger, lest you learn his ways, and ensnare your soul."* If your father’s behavior is consistently volatile, emotionally abusive, or spiritually damaging, it may be wise to create healthy boundaries for your own protection. This does not mean you stop loving him or praying for him, but it does mean you recognize that you cannot "fix" him—only God can. You can love him from a distance while continuing to intercede for his soul.

That said, we must also address the anger and hurt you feel. It is natural to feel wounded when your efforts are met with ingratitude or hostility, but we are called to a supernatural response. *"Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written, 'Vengeance is mine; I will repay, says the Lord.'"*(Romans 12:19). The fact that you are resisting the old pattern of shutting down is evidence of God’s work in you. Keep surrendering these feelings to the Lord. Ask Him to replace your hurt with His love and your anger with His peace. Remember, forgiveness is not about excusing the behavior; it is about releasing the debt to God, who alone can judge righteously.

Lastly, we notice that your request did not invoke the name of Jesus. This is not a small matter. There is no other name by which we can approach the Father, and there is no other name with the power to break demonic strongholds. *"In none other is there salvation, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12). Every prayer, every plea for help, every declaration of warfare must be made in the name of Jesus. If you have not already, we urge you to ensure that your faith is firmly placed in Christ alone for your salvation. Have you repented of your sins and trusted in Jesus as your Lord and Savior? If so, then you have the authority to command the enemy to flee in Jesus’ name. If not, we implore you to surrender your life to Him today, for without Christ, you are fighting these battles in your own strength—and that is a battle you cannot win.

Now, let us pray together for you, your father, and this situation:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You that You are a God who sees, who knows, and who cares deeply about the pain and confusion that Your child is experiencing. Lord, we ask for Your supernatural peace to flood their heart, a peace that surpasses all understanding, guarding their mind and emotions in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Father, we rebuke every spirit of anger, bitterness, and resentment that seeks to take root in their heart. By the power of the Holy Spirit, uproot these things and replace them with Your love, patience, and forgiveness.

Lord, we lift up this father who is bound by spiritual confusion, emotional turmoil, and demonic influence. Father, if he has never truly surrendered his life to You, we ask that You would draw him to Yourself in an undeniable way. Break the strongholds of Catholicism and every false teaching that has kept him from the truth. Open his eyes to see that salvation is found in Christ alone, by grace alone, through faith alone. Lord, if there are demonic forces oppressing him, we command them to flee in the name of Jesus. We break every generational curse, every ungodly soul tie, and every assignment of the enemy against this family. Father, deliver him from the powers of darkness and bring him into the light of Your Son.

We also pray for this beloved child of Yours who has endured so much. Lord, strengthen them in their inner being by Your Spirit. Fill them with Your joy, Your hope, and Your resilience. Protect them from the enemy’s lies that would tell them to isolate or give in to despair. Surround them with godly counsel and support, especially within the church. Give them wisdom to know how to set healthy boundaries with their father, boundaries that honor You and protect their own heart.

Father, we declare that no weapon formed against this family shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We ask for Your healing in every broken relationship, Your restoration in every area of wounding, and Your victory over every demonic scheme. Lord, let Your will be done in this situation. Give this child the grace to forgive, the strength to endure, and the faith to trust You even when they cannot see the way forward.

We ask all these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Redeemer. Amen.

Stand firm in the Lord, beloved. You are not fighting this battle alone. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith. He will never leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5). If you feel overwhelmed, cry out to Him—He is your refuge and strength (Psalm 46:1). And remember, the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds (2 Corinthians 10:4). You are more than a conqueror through Christ who loves you (Romans 8:37). Keep pressing in, keep praying, and keep trusting. The Lord is faithful, and He will see you through.
 
Hey there,

We're right there with you, feeling the weight of your father's sudden change in behavior and the emotional rollercoaster it's causing. It's like a punch in the gut, especially after you put so much effort into making his birthday special. We get it, and we're sorry you're going through this.

First off, let's remember that our battles aren't against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces (Ephesians 6:12). So, let's not take your father's behavior personally. He's struggling, and it's not about you. It's about the spiritual warfare going on around him, and around you.

Now, about that demonic harassment you mentioned. It's real, and it's serious. But remember, as a child of God, you have authority over these forces in Jesus' name (Luke 10:19). You don't have to just endure it. We'll be praying for your protection and for the breaking of any demonic assignments against you and your family.

We also want to encourage you not to let this situation drive you away from church. It's easy for the enemy to use the wounds inflicted by people, even within the church, to drive us away from the very place where we can find strength, healing, and corporate spiritual warfare. Hebrews 10:25 tells us not to forsake the assembling of ourselves together. You need Jesus, and you need His body. Don't let bitterness or weariness keep you from the place where God desires to minister to you.

As for your question about whether it's better to stay away from your father for a while, we understand your concern. It's important to weigh this carefully. While we're called to honor our fathers and mothers, we're also called to wisdom. There's a difference between forgiveness and enabling harmful behavior. If your father's behavior is consistently volatile, emotionally abusive, or spiritually damaging, it might be wise to create healthy boundaries for your own protection. This doesn't mean you stop loving him or praying for him, but it does mean you recognize that only God can "fix" him.

Lastly, we noticed that your request didn't invoke the name of Jesus. That's not a small matter. There's no other name by which we can approach the Father, and there's no other name with the power to break demonic strongholds. Every prayer, every plea for help, every declaration of warfare must be made in the name of Jesus. If you haven't already, we urge you to ensure that your faith is firmly placed in Christ alone for your salvation. Have you repented of your sins and trusted in Jesus as your Lord and Savior?

Now, let's pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.

Healed Spirit Soul And Body

 
We want to thank you for allowing us the sacred opportunity to lift your heart before the Father in prayer these past few days. Your love for your father—despite the deep wounds and spiritual battles you’ve endured—is a testament to the work God is doing in you, and we are honored to stand with you in this season of wrestling and seeking His will.

The enemy’s schemes to distort relationships and stir up bitterness are real, but we serve a God who is greater. We’ve been praying specifically for your father’s heart to be softened, for the Lord to break through the spiritual confusion and strongholds that have bound him for so long, and for you to be shielded from the weight of discouragement that threatens to pull you away from fellowship and hope. We know how painful it is when a day meant for joy is overshadowed by sudden hostility—especially when it feels personal—and we’ve asked the Lord to replace your hurt with His peace, reminding you that your worth is not tied to how you’re treated but to how He sees you.

If the Lord has brought any measure of clarity, comfort, or breakthrough in this situation—whether in your father’s demeanor, your own heart, or the spiritual atmosphere around you—we’d love for you to share it with us. Even small answers are worth praising, as they remind us all that God is at work, even when we can’t see it yet. But if this burden still feels heavy, please don’t hesitate to repost your request. We will continue to contend for you, for your father’s salvation and deliverance, and for the Lord to restore what the enemy has tried to steal—including your strength to forgive and your desire to gather with believers.

You’re not alone in this fight. The body of Christ is meant to bear these burdens together, and we are here, interceding for you even now. May the Lord renew your spirit, guard your mind from the lies of the enemy, and fill you with His supernatural endurance. We declare that no weapon formed against you—whether through your father’s actions, demonic harassment, or the weariness in your soul—will prosper. The Lord is your refuge, and He will not abandon you to the storm.

Keep seeking Him, dear sibling. Keep clinging to Jesus, even when the path feels steep. He is faithful, and He will bring beauty from these ashes in His perfect time.
