We hear your cry for deliverance and stand with you in the authority of Jesus Christ, who has already disarmed the powers and principalities through His victory on the cross. The harassment you describe is not merely human opposition but a spiritual assault, and we take it seriously as such. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came that you might have life abundantly (John 10:10). We rebuke every demonic influence operating through these individuals in the name of Jesus. Every plot, every scheme, every word spoken against you in the spiritual realm is nullified by the blood of Christ. The Bible declares, "No weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that accuses you in judgment. This is the heritage of the Lord’s servants, and their righteousness is from Me" (Isaiah 54:17).
You were once entangled in the occult, but God in His mercy used even this harassment to draw you back to Himself. That is the power of His grace—He can turn what the enemy meant for evil into good (Genesis 50:20). However, we must address the reality that your initial response to this harassment—turning to the occult for solutions—opened doors that should have remained closed. The Word warns, "Do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritists, for you will be defiled by them" (Leviticus 19:31). We encourage you to examine your heart and life for any lingering ties to those practices. Have you fully renounced every involvement with witchcraft, new age beliefs, or any form of divination? Have you confessed and repented of these things before the Lord? If not, we urge you to do so now. James 4:7 says, "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." True resistance begins with complete surrender to Christ.
It is also important to consider whether there are any unconfessed sins or unforgiveness in your heart that may be giving the enemy a foothold. Ephesians 4:26-27 warns, "Be angry, and don’t sin. Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath, neither give place to the devil." Have you forgiven those who have harassed you, even as Christ has forgiven you? Forgiveness does not mean what they did was right, nor does it mean you must reconcile with them. It means releasing them to God and refusing to let bitterness take root in your heart. Unforgiveness can become a chain that binds you to those who have wronged you, and the enemy will exploit it. We pray that God would reveal to you any areas where you need to extend forgiveness, not for their sake, but for your freedom.
We also want to address your shift in prayer from reconciliation to removal. There is wisdom in recognizing when relationships are not only unhealthy but spiritually dangerous. The Bible instructs us, "Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?" (2 Corinthians 6:14). Some of these individuals were never meant to be in your life, and your discernment in this matter is a sign of spiritual growth. However, we must caution you against allowing hatred or bitterness to take root. It is one thing to pray for deliverance from toxic people; it is another to harbor malice in your heart. Romans 12:19 says, "Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, 'Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.'" Trust that God sees what they have done and will deal with them in His perfect justice.
The demonic activity you describe—people knowing things they should not know, fleeing at the mention of prayer, and the manipulation you’ve witnessed—is real, but it is not beyond the power of God. The name of Jesus is above every name, and at His name, every knee must bow (Philippians 2:9-11). We command every spirit of harassment, divination, and retaliation to flee from you now in Jesus’ name. The plots they have devised against you are already being dismantled by the Lord. Psalm 33:10 says, "The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing. He makes the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect." We declare that their plans to cause you emotional distress, especially during your graduation, will not come to pass. God has a future and a hope for you (Jeremiah 29:11), and the enemy will not steal your joy or your peace.
We also want to address the fact that you did not mention praying in the name of Jesus in your request. There is power in the name of Jesus—power that the enemy cannot withstand. Acts 4:12 declares, "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!" When you pray, do so in the authority of Jesus’ name, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. The enemy trembles at the name of Jesus, and we encourage you to use it boldly in your prayers and declarations.
Now, we lift you up in prayer:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, the name that is above every name. We thank You for Your protection over Your child and for the deliverance You are bringing in this situation. Lord, we rebuke every spirit of harassment, divination, retaliation, and manipulation that has been operating against them. We break every curse, every plot, and every scheme of the enemy in Jesus’ name. We declare that no weapon formed against them will prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment will be condemned.
Father, we ask that You would surround them with Your angels, that no harm would come near them. We pray that You would expose every hidden work of darkness and bring it to light. Lord, we ask that You would cancel the plans these individuals have made to cause them emotional distress, especially in this season of celebration. Let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
We pray for their complete deliverance from the influence of these people. Remove them from their life as You see fit, and let them walk in the freedom that Christ has purchased for them. Father, we ask that You would heal any wounds in their heart caused by this harassment. Let them know Your love and Your presence in a deeper way than ever before. Help them to forgive those who have wronged them, not because they deserve it, but because You have forgiven them.
Lord, we also ask that You would strengthen their faith. Let them stand firm in the armor of God, knowing that the battle is not against flesh and blood but against the spiritual forces of evil (Ephesians 6:12). Equip them with the sword of the Spirit, which is Your Word, and let them wield it with confidence. We declare that they are more than conquerors through Christ who loves them (Romans 8:37).
Finally, Father, we ask that You would fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they would walk in step with You every day. Let them not be afraid, for You have not given them a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). We trust You to complete the good work You have begun in them, and we declare that the enemy’s plans will not stand. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to stand firm in your faith, knowing that God is fighting for you. Continue to resist the devil, and he will flee from you (James 4:7). Surround yourself with godly believers who can pray with you and support you. Fill your mind with Scripture, for the Word of God is a lamp to your feet and a light to your path (Psalm 119:105). You are not alone in this battle, and the victory is already yours in Christ. Keep your eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:2), and trust that He will lead you into complete freedom.
