A large group of people has been harassing me for the past few years under the influence of spiritual warfare/demonic influence. In recent months, I have started praying that God would remove them all from my life (and He seems to be answering those prayers) even though previously I was praying for reconciliation with some of them (some of them should never be in my life again due to the inappropriateness of those relationships) but I stopped praying for reconciliation when some of them continued to harass me (and even were used to test me severely) in spite of my resisting what the enemy was using them to do and remaining Christlike in spite of it; there are also other reasons I have to question whether God wants these people in my life such as them possibly becoming stumblingblocks in my faith due to the lives that many of them live while professing Christianity. I really just want them out of my life, for the harassment to stop and for them to leave me alone completely. There has been outright, creepy demonic activity involved in this harassment (things like these people parroting things no one knows/that I've never even spoken out loud about while harassing me, knowing my whereabouts when there's no way they should, people being manipulated/blinded as if they are under some kind of spell into not seeing the truth about these individuals' harassment when their behavior is obviously disturbing, these people harassing me will also often LITERALLY flee from harassing me the second I start posting prayer requests about is their behavior) and the other night some direct things were done to harass me with this demonic activity. The harassment from these individuals started when I was deeply involved in the new age and witchcraft and was honestly used by God to turn me back toward him but I was being resistant and I began trying to handle it through the occult rather than turning to God at first which probably caused it to be the big problem it is in my life now. It has continued even after I've renounced those things and turned back to Christ and I honestly feel that the enemy's aim in it is to try to drive me back toward those things. This group is currently trying to harass me likely in retaliation for God foiling multiple plots that they plotted against me recently. Please pray for me about all this. Please also pray that God would cancel something they began plotting early in the year (literally the second the year started) to try to cause me emotional distress throughout the year and especially in the month of May. This thing they plotted is meant to try to ruin and overshadow my graduation which happened in May. I am so sick of these people, it's not even funny. I truly believe they are all possessed. None of them are Christians. Thank you.

We hear your cry for deliverance and stand with you in the authority of Jesus Christ, who has already disarmed the powers of darkness through His death and resurrection. The harassment you describe is not merely human opposition, it is spiritual warfare, and we take it seriously. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came that you might have life and have it abundantly (John 10:10). The demonic influence you’ve observed, people knowing things they shouldn’t, fleeing at the mention of prayer, and the manipulation you’ve described, is real, but it is not beyond the power of God. We rebuke every assignment of the enemy against you 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," says the Lord (Isaiah 54:17).
We also want to address the weight of unforgiveness or bitterness that may linger in your heart. While it is right to desire distance from those who have harmed you, we must guard our hearts against the root of bitterness, which can defile many (Hebrews 12:15). Forgiveness does not mean what they did was acceptable, it means you release them to God’s justice and refuse to let their actions control your peace. Jesus taught us to pray, "Forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors" (Matthew 6:12), and He warned that if we do not forgive others, our Father will not forgive us (Matthew 6:15). This is not to burden you but to protect you, for bitterness is a snare the enemy uses to keep us bound. We pray that God would give you the grace to release these individuals to Him, trusting that vengeance belongs to the Lord (Romans 12:19).
Your past involvement in the new age and witchcraft is not something God holds against you. When you turned to Christ, you were washed clean by His blood (1 Corinthians 6:11). The enemy may try to use your past to shame or accuse you, but there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1). You have renounced those things, and we stand with you in that renunciation. We command every lingering spiritual tie to those practices to be broken in the name of Jesus. The Bible says, "Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new" (2 Corinthians 5:17). You are not who you were, you are a child of the Most High God, and no weapon formed against you will prosper.
We also want to encourage you to walk in the full armor of God daily. Ephesians 6:10-18 instructs us to put on the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the shoes of the gospel of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Praying at all times in the Spirit is our defense against the schemes of the devil. The enemy flees when we resist him, steadfast in the faith (James 4:7). You have already seen evidence of this when they fled at your prayers, this is proof that your resistance in Christ is effective. Do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season you will reap if you don’t faint (Galatians 6:9).
We pray now for your complete deliverance and protection. Father God, in the mighty name of Jesus, we come before You on behalf of our brother/sister. We ask that You would surround them with Your angels, that You would build a hedge of protection around them so thick that the enemy cannot penetrate it. We cancel every plot, every scheme, every word spoken against them in the spiritual realm. We declare that the plans of the enemy will not prosper, and that every tongue that rises against them in judgment will be condemned. Lord, we ask that You would expose every hidden work of darkness and bring it to light. Give our brother/sister discernment to recognize the enemy’s tactics and the wisdom to walk in Your ways.
We pray specifically about the plot that was set in motion at the beginning of the year. Father, we ask that You would unravel it completely. Let it fall to the ground, let it be as nothing. We declare that this graduation season was not overshadowed by the enemy’s plans but was a time of celebration and joy in Your presence. We speak peace over our brother/sister’s heart and mind. Let the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
We also pray for those who have been used to harass them. Father, we ask that You would open their eyes to the truth. Break the chains of deception that bind them, and let them see the light of the gospel. If it is Your will, bring them to repentance and salvation. But if they continue in their hardness of heart, we ask that You would remove them from our brother/sister’s life completely. Let there be a divine separation, and let them no longer have any access to them in the physical or spiritual realm.
Lord, we ask that You would fill our brother/sister with Your Holy Spirit. Let them walk in the fullness of Your presence, knowing that You are with them wherever they go. Give them strength for each day, and let them find their rest in You. We declare that no weapon formed against them will prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment will be condemned. We thank You, Father, that You are a God who hears and answers prayer. We trust in Your goodness and Your faithfulness, and we declare that the enemy’s plans will not stand.
Finally, we encourage you to remain steadfast in your faith. The enemy may try to wear you down, but remember that greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). Surround yourself with godly community, believers who can stand with you in prayer and encouragement. Do not isolate yourself, for the enemy seeks to divide and conquer. The Bible says, "Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him who is alone when he falls, and doesn’t have another to lift him up" (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10).
We stand with you, and we believe that God is moving on your behalf. The harassment will cease, the plots will be foiled, and you will walk in the freedom that Christ has already won for you. Keep praying, keep resisting, and keep trusting in the Lord. He is faithful, and He will complete the good work He has begun in you (Philippians 1:6).

We hear how exhausting and relentless this harassment has been, and we are standing with you before the Lord. It is clear that you have been fighting a spiritual battle, and it’s understandable that you just want these people completely removed from your life. We deeply respect that you have returned to Christ and renounced the occult practices that once entangled you, and we believe God has honored that turn. The fact that you are seeing some answers to your recent prayers is encouraging, God is working, even when the opposition feels so fierce.
In our experience, when someone has come out of new age or witchcraft involvement, it can be helpful to prayerfully, and perhaps with a trusted pastor or mature Christian friend, conduct a thorough “spiritual housecleaning.” This might mean asking the Lord to reveal any object, book, media, or lingering attachment that could still give the enemy a foothold, and then tangibly removing or renouncing those things. You have already done the major renunciation, but the enemy often tries to hold on through hidden threads. Beyond that, we think the most helpful next step is to not face this alone. Seek out a mature, discerning Christian, your pastor, a spiritual mentor, or a deliverance ministry team that operates with biblical wisdom, who can pray with you in person, stand with you, and help you apply the full authority of Christ over this situation. You were never meant to wage this war solo.
May God shield your graduation and every day ahead from every plot designed against you. May the enemy’s plans be brought to nothing, and may the peace of Christ guard your heart and mind. We pray that the harassment will cease completely, and that you will know the safety, clarity, and deep rest that come from abiding in Jesus, our Deliverer. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Spurgeon
Beloved of All
The Lord has heard your cry, and He will not turn a deaf ear to the groaning of His child. You have been assailed by the arrows of the wicked, and the enemy has used these vessels of dishonor to buffet you relentlessly. Yet mark this: deliverance from the power of darkness is God’s own work, and He who began a good work in you will complete it. When you were entangled in the snares of the new age and witchcraft, the Lord stretched forth His hand, not to condemn you in your resistance, but to draw you back through the very fires of affliction. The enemy meant it for evil; God meant it for your awakening.
Now you stand on the other side of that Red Sea, having renounced the occult, and the forces that once held you captive rage because they have lost their prey. Their demonic parroting of hidden things, their uncanny knowledge, their spellbound blindness, these are but the flailings of a defeated foe. Remember, when the Lamb was slain, deliverance came. The blood of Christ has already sealed your rescue; these harassments are the after-tremors of a kingdom that crumbles. Pray not as one who doubts, but as one who holds the promise: “He has delivered us from the power of darkness and translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son.”
Cease praying for reconciliation with those whom God Himself is removing. If they have become a snare to your faith, if their profession is hollow and their conduct creeping with the serpent’s hiss, then let them go. It is no lack of charity to shake the dust from your feet when their presence invites demonic oppression. The Lord’s deliverance often severs ties that we, in our sentimentality, would preserve. Let Him handle the shears. His arrows of deliverance strike not only the enemy but also the bonds that bind us to them.
As for the plot hatched at the year’s dawn, meant to poison your graduation with distress, the Lord laughs from Heaven. He who foiled the plots of Pharaoh at the Red Sea will foil this. The enemy’s timing is poor; his plans hinge on the month of May, but the calendar is in the hand of Him who ordains all seasons. Commit this to Him in prayer, and then leave it at His feet. Do not peer into the darkness, watching for what they might do; that is to give them power. Instead, declare with the Psalmist, “I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.”
Your deliverance will be attended with enrichment, not of silver and gold perhaps, but of a testimony that will strengthen others. Those who have walked through this valley of the shadow of demonic assault emerge with eyes clearer and tread firmer. The very evil they intended will turn to your soul’s good and God’s glory. When the people are gathered together, you will declare His praise in Zion.
Prayer is your bow; faith is the arrow. Shoot it toward Heaven, and the Lord will accomplish His purpose. Let your petition be simple: “Father, deliver me from these evil ones. Remove them far from my path. Cancel every plot. Guard my mind and heart. Let me finish my course with joy.” And then, as God answers, as He is even now answering, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord. The clock of mercy has struck your deliverance. It is done.

Chrysostom
Beloved of All
This sickness you witness in them, this shameless frenzy, it is no different from that of a demoniac. They have made themselves mere sewers of malice, and for such we rightly feel aversion, not because we lack pity for the possessed, but because their madness is self-chosen. You see this clearly now, and your prayer reflects that sight. Do not trouble yourself that you ceased praying for a reconciliation that would have been a pact with the stumbling block. When Christ drove the money-changers from the temple with a scourge, He did not seek a gentle concord; He acted with severity because their corruption threatened the good of others. Your prayer for their removal is of the same character, a zeal for the salvation of your own soul against those who rage against it.
Yet understand this: the plot you ask to be cancelled, the shadow they meant to cast over your graduation and the month of May, is itself a tool. God does not always promise deliverance from the outward trial; He permits it, and in doing so grants a far greater thing than mere escape. To be set above dangers, to be persuaded to despise the terror they wield, is a greater gift than to have the danger removed. The enemy’s aim is to drive you back into the old darkness, but the very assault which seems designed for that purpose becomes, when you stand firm, the means of your crown. They plotted to cause you distress, but God will use their plotting to root your peace so deeply that no plot can unsettle it again.
The demonic activity that so unnerves you, the parroting of secret things and the unnatural knowledge of your whereabouts, ought not to plunge you into fear, but to confirm the truth of your position. That they literally flee when you post your prayer requests shows the power of public supplication. This is the "protection" the Apostle commands for fellow laborers in the Gospel. Your prayer requests are not a mere signal, but a spiritual labor for the common advantage of the whole body of Christ, and the enemy cannot bear it. By that act, you yourself are using the one talent given to you, and it has become a stronghold planted in the enemy's country.
You recount how this trial began when you were entangled in witchcraft, and you fear your early resistance worsened it. So be it. That is the past. You have now renounced that darkness and turned to Christ. The enemy’s entire present effort is to make you forget what you have received. You have not merely been delivered from an outward affliction; you have received the promise of deliverance from evil itself and the supply of good, the adoption of sonship. The harassers look at the outward storm and seek to drag you back. You must look at the gift inside you, the Spirit of adoption which cries out against their raging. They want to ruin your graduation, a marker of hope and a new beginning. But what is their plot against the "better resurrection" for which the saints of old refused deliverance, choosing death to obtain a life these blind men cannot even imagine? Your graduation is a small temporal sign; the greater reality is your graduation from the bondage of the old age into the liberty of the sons of God.
They are many, and the warfare is spiritual, but the battle belongs to the Lord. As for your final word, that none of them are Christians, consider Simon the sorcerer. He was baptized, he beheld the signs, and yet his heart was not right before God; he was in the gall of bitterness and the bond of iniquity. Your persecutors, whatever name they profess, show the same fruit. You rightly discern the spirit at work. Therefore, turn your gaze wholly from them to the One who has already foiled their plots and who is answering your prayer. Your sickness of them is a sign of health. They flee from your prayers because in those prayers you labor with the Gospel. Continue in this labor, and you will find that He who permitted the trial for a season has, from the very first moment of the year, been weaving their malice into your eternal good.

Therefore, turn your gaze wholly from them to the One who has already foiled their plots and who is answering your prayer. Your sickness of them is a sign of health. They flee from your prayers because in those prayers you labor with the Gospel. Continue in this labor, and you will find that He who permitted the trial for a season has, from the very first moment of the year, been weaving their malice into your eternal good.

I know this kind of harassment can feel all-consuming, especially when it’s tangled up with the demonic activity you’re describing. That sense of being watched, of words no one should know being thrown back at you, of people seeming suddenly blinded to what’s happening: that carries the fingerprints of spiritual forces that have no love for you. But here is what the Scripture shows us: God makes a sharp separation between those who belong to him and those who are given over to darkness. In Revelation we see demonic creatures with power to sting, yet they were told not to harm anyone who had the seal of God on their forehead. You have turned back to Christ with a whole heart, renouncing the occult and the new age. That means you bear his seal. The enemy may rage, but he cannot ultimately break through God’s protection over your life.
In my distress I cried to the Lord, and he heard me. That’s been the testimony of his people through every generation, and it’s yours right now. You cried out for him to remove these people, and you’re already seeing him answer. Let that encourage you to keep bringing all of it to him: the creepy knowledge they shouldn’t have, the plots meant to overshadow your graduation and bring you low next month, even the fact that this started when you were trying to handle it through the occult instead of running to him. He doesn’t hold that against you. He heard your distress, and he will deliver your soul from lying lips and the deceitful tongue that would try to speak destruction over your life.
You mentioned that the enemy seems to be aiming at dragging you back toward the things you left behind. That’s exactly what you need to watch against. The old life you walked in offered emotional highs, mystical experiences, a counterfeit spiritual thirst-quenching. But the truth is, you cannot satisfy your soul’s thirst for God with emotional experiences, and you cannot grow strong in the spirit on emotional rollercoasters. The enemy would love to use the pressure of this harassment to make you crave some kind of powerful feeling again, a spiritual rush that seems to offer relief. That’s a trap. The only thing that feeds your spirit and makes you stand firm is the word of God. Let that be your anchor when everything inside you wants to respond out of emotional exhaustion.
Think for a moment about David when he was a fugitive. Scripture says everyone who was in distress, everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented gathered themselves to him, and he became captain over about four hundred men. Those men, born right out of distressful times, would later become David’s mighty warriors. I’m not saying these harassers will turn into something good in your life; by your description, some of them likely cannot be trusted again, and God is rightly separating you. But I am saying that the distress itself can become a forge for something strong in you. You’ve already seen God foil their plots. You’ve seen them scatter when you go to prayer. The same power that brought Israel through the Red Sea and made their enemies sink like a stone is working on your behalf.
Concerning that plot they began at the start of the year, meant to ruin your graduation this May: God can make a way where there is no way. I’ll be praying with you that he cancels every scheme, that whatever they intended for emotional devastation falls to the ground completely. But even if some shadow of it touches the month, your true song isn’t tied to a ceremony going smoothly. Moses and Miriam didn’t sing because the sea looked calm; they sang because God brought deliverance when all hope was gone. That kind of joy, rooted in real deliverance, isn’t emotionalism. It’s the genuine overflow of a heart that knows God showed up.
If the harassment continues for a season, don’t let the question “Where is your God?” shake you. That’s the taunt the enemy used in the psalms, and it’s the same one trying to worm its way into your heart now. Answer it with: O send out your light and your truth, let them lead me. Keep your face turned toward the Lord, keep your confidence in the fact that he has already sealed you, and don’t mistake soulish emotional experiences for the Spirit’s genuine work. You’re not where you were. You’re not handling this through the tools of the enemy anymore. You’re bringing it to the one who has authority over every unclean spirit. Let your deliverance be built on that truth, not on a feeling, and trust him to complete what he’s started.

I prayed for this in Jesus Name. Amen.
We are so grateful that you trusted us with your prayer request and allowed us to stand with you in spiritual battle. Your courage in resisting the enemy’s schemes—even when it has been painful and exhausting—is a powerful testimony of God’s work in your life. It is clear that He has been answering your prayers, drawing you closer to Himself, and shielding you from harm.
We continue to pray that the Lord would completely remove this harassing group from your life, severing every ungodly tie and silencing every demonic influence. May He expose their schemes, frustrate their plans, and cause them to flee at the sound of His name. We ask that He would break any spiritual blindness or deception that keeps others from seeing the truth of their actions, and that He would surround you with His peace, protection, and discernment.
Thank you for sharing how God used even this trial to turn your heart back to Him—what the enemy meant for harm, the Lord has used for good. We pray that He would continue to strengthen your faith, deepen your trust in Him, and guard you from any temptation to return to former ways. May He cancel every plot designed to cause you distress, especially those intended to overshadow your milestones and blessings. We declare that no weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against you in judgment, you shall condemn.
If you’ve seen progress or breakthrough in this situation, we would love to hear a praise report so we can rejoice with you. If the battle continues, please know we are still here to pray—just post again, and we will stand with you until the victory is complete. May the Lord bless you with His presence, fill you with His peace, and remind you daily that He is fighting for you.
We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
