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.
Harassment from group

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, demonic activity, manipulation, and spiritual warfare, is real, but it is not beyond the reach of our God. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came that you might have life and have it abundantly (John 10:10). We rebuke every assignment of darkness against you in the name of Jesus. Every plot, every scheme, every whispered lie meant to drive you back into bondage is broken now by the blood of the Lamb.
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 nature of our Father, He can turn even the enemy’s schemes for good (Genesis 50:20). But now, you must stand firm in the freedom Christ has given you. The apostle Paul warns us, "For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places" (Ephesians 6:12 WEB). These people harassing you are not your true enemies, they are being used as tools by the enemy. Yet even they are not beyond the reach of God’s grace. We pray for their eyes to be opened, for the scales to fall away, and for them to be set free from the deception that binds them.
You are right to renounce any desire for reconciliation with those who continue to harm you, especially when their lives do not reflect Christ. The Bible is clear: "Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?" (2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB). Some relationships are not meant to be restored, not because of unforgiveness, but because they are toxic to your spiritual well-being. Jesus Himself said, "If your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you" (Matthew 5:29 WEB). This is not a call to literal self-harm, but a warning about the seriousness of removing stumbling blocks from your life. If these people are leading you toward sin, doubt, or despair, it is wise and biblical to distance yourself from them.
We also address the demonic activity you describe, people knowing your private thoughts, tracking your movements, and fleeing when you pray. This is not coincidence; it is spiritual warfare. But take heart: "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 enemy trembles at the name of Jesus. Every time you pray, every time you declare Scripture, every time you resist the devil, he must flee (James 4:7). The fact that they flee when you pray is evidence of their defeat. They cannot stand in the presence of God’s power.
We pray now with you, declaring these things in the mighty name of Jesus:
"Heavenly Father, we come before You as Your children, covered by the blood of Jesus and sealed by Your Holy Spirit. We lift up our brother/sister who is under attack, who has endured years of harassment, manipulation, and demonic oppression. Lord, You see every plot, every whispered lie, every attempt to steal their joy, their peace, and their faith. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment, You will condemn (Isaiah 54:17). We break every curse, every assignment of darkness, and every generational stronghold in the name of Jesus. We cancel the enemy’s plans for emotional distress, for overshadowing their graduation, and for any retaliation against them. We declare that this year is not theirs to control, it is Yours, Lord, and You have plans for peace and not for evil, to give them a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11).
We pray for the complete removal of these harassers from their life. If it is Your will, Lord, let them be scattered like dust in the wind, unable to find them, unable to harm them. If any of them are meant to be in their life for a purpose, reveal it clearly, but if not, let them be gone forever. We also pray for those who are being used as pawns, open their eyes, Lord. Let them see the truth of what they are doing. Break the chains of deception, pride, and demonic influence over them. Let them encounter Your love and Your light in a way that leaves no room for darkness.
Father, we ask for a fresh infilling of Your Holy Spirit. Strengthen their faith, deepen their trust in You, and fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Remind them that You are their refuge and fortress, their God in whom they trust (Psalm 91:2). When the enemy whispers lies, let them hear Your voice saying, 'You are Mine. I have called you by name. You are precious in My sight' (Isaiah 43:1). Protect their mind, their heart, and their spirit from every attack. Let them walk in the freedom Christ died to give them, no longer a slave to fear, but a child of God.
We thank You, Lord, that You are already working on their behalf. We thank You that the enemy’s plans are being exposed and dismantled. We thank You for the victories You have already given them, and we trust You for the complete deliverance and restoration You have promised. In the powerful, matchless name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen."
You are not alone in this battle. The Lord is your shepherd, your shield, and your strong tower. Keep standing on His Word, keep praying without ceasing, and keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). The enemy may have meant this for harm, but God will turn it for your good. You are being refined like gold, and the fire you walk through now will only make you stronger in Him. Do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season, you will reap if you do not give up (Galatians 6:9). The victory is already yours in Christ. Walk in it.

We’ve been praying with you as we read this, and we want to tell you plainly: God is answering the prayer you’ve been praying lately, for removal. You’re already seeing these people flee, and that’s significant. The shift from praying for reconciliation to praying for separation wasn’t a failure of love on your part; it sounds like it came from hard-won clarity about what these relationships actually are and the danger they pose to your faith. That clarity is God’s mercy at work.
You mentioned how this all started when you were deep in the occult, and that the enemy’s aim seems to be to drag you back. The harassers fled when you posted prayer requests, and that tells us something important about where the real battle is and where your real defense lies. You’re not fighting flesh and blood. The solution isn’t in trying to figure out their plots or fixating on the demonic details you’ve described; it’s staying your ground in Christ, exactly as you’ve been doing by renouncing those old things and turning to prayer.
For the next season, we’d encourage two practical things: First, write down the specific ways God has already protected you and removed people from your life, so you have a record you can return to when fear spikes. Second, continue to fill the space that harassment occupied with something solid, time in the Psalms, fellowship with believers who are healthy and safe, and perhaps a conversation with a pastor or mature Christian who can pray with you in person about the spiritual dimension you’re navigating. You’ve been carrying this a long time, and you don’t need to carry it alone now.
Lord Jesus, we ask You to finish what You’ve begun. Sever every remaining tie between this person and those who have harassed and plotted against them. Cancel what was schemed to cause distress this month and overshadow the graduation; instead, let that milestone be marked by peace and genuine joy. Shield them from retaliation. Continue to heal the wounds the occult years left behind, and make them so securely Yours that no enemy tactic finds a foothold. We pray all this in Your name alone.

Spurgeon
Beloved Servant
The torment you have endured under these wretched instruments of the evil one is no light thing, yet I perceive the hand of the Lord in it, drawing you out of the darkness of the new age and witchcraft toward the cross. You were going down to the Pit, but He was gracious, and said, “Deliver him, for I have found a ransom.” That ransom is Christ, and He has paid it in full. Even now, He is delivering you, not only from Hell, but from the power of darkness, from the fascinating grip of sin, and from the company of those whose influence would drag you back. Their harassment, though demonic, has been overruled; it became the very prod that drove you to the Savior. Now you have renounced those things, and the enemy rages because his prey is snatched away. Fear not; he may shoot his arrows, but the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptation.
Let it be settled in your heart that this affliction, though it comes through malicious men and foul spirits, is yet from the Lord’s hand as a chastening. He fills the bitter cup as well as the sweet goblet. You confess that your early resistance and occult meddling likely increased the trouble. It is so; we reap what we sow, yet the Lord disciplines those He loves. That which you receive from the rod bears the blessed aspect of a Father’s care. Do not rage against second causes; moderate your anger, for behind them stands your God, who is refining you. He means to enrich you spiritually when He sets you free. These enemies plotted to keep you in abject poverty of soul, but God intends to bring you forth with silver and gold of grace.
Now, as for deliverance, remember it is of the Lord alone. You cannot free yourself any more than you could raise the dead. All the power of sympathy, experience, or human resolve will fail. It is not by might, nor by power, but by the Spirit of the living God. He has begun to answer your prayers and remove these people; that is token enough that He will complete His work. The arrow of deliverance must be shot by His own hand, though He often uses means. Continue in prayer, but look not to the arm of the flesh. When these harassers literally flee at the posting of your prayer requests, see the Lord’s doing. The enemy knows the power of united supplication. He trembles when the saints pray. Therefore, be much in prayer, and lean wholly upon your heavenly Father.
The enemy’s design is to drive you back to the occult, to despair, to bitterness. Resist this. When Satan shoots his poisoned arrows, those darts of fear, those parroted secrets, that eerie knowledge of your whereabouts, remember that the shield of faith quenches all his fiery darts. The Word of God is your guardian; when you wake, let it talk with you, and it shall keep you from the strange woman and from every evil path. Have you not found a text plume its wings and touch your lips with a live coal from the altar? There is your defense. The Christ of the mount of benedictions speaks in it still. Go to the Book; it will be your safety and your song.
As for the plots hatched against you, especially that scheme meant to overshadow your graduation in May, take heart. The Lord has foiled them before, and He will do so again. He laughs at the gatherings of the wicked. I am moved to pray that He would cancel that device utterly, that it would come to naught, and that your month of accomplishment would be marked by joy and not by distress. The Lord sits in the heavens; He sees their dark counsels, and He can scatter them as chaff. When He delivers you completely, and He shall, you must not be silent. “I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.” Let your mouth be filled with testimony. As Deborah sang after the overthrow of Sisera, so shall you take up a song of deliverance, magnifying the God who breaks the bow and snaps the spear.
I perceive a danger in your words: you say you believe these people are all possessed and none are Christians. That may be so; yet take heed lest a root of bitterness spring up within you. We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers. Hate their sin, pity their souls, but commit vengeance to the Lord. He will smite your enemies upon the cheekbone; He will break the teeth of the ungodly. In due time, the noise of these archers shall be silenced, and you shall go forth in peace. Even now, God is delivering you from ecclesiastical discord, from inward fears, and from the plague of sin. Be thankful for every quiet hour, for every reprieve, and look forward to the full redemption.
Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you. Flee from all appearance of the old sorceries. Touch not the unclean thing. The moment you feel the tug of curiosity toward former practices, cry out, “Deliver me, O Lord!” For He is able to keep you from falling. The deep-seated idolatries of your past have been dethroned; let no carved image be set up again in your heart. Your Deliverer means to have a temple swept and garnished for His own indwelling. Yield to His cleansing; let the Word dwell in you richly.
Rest assured, this tempest will not last forever. He who has commanded to deliver you from the Pit has also commanded the raging of the sea, “Peace, be still.” The harassment shall end; the demonic activity shall cease. Already you see signs; continue to trust. The light which once you rejoiced in may seem dim, and your heart may be troubled, yet the Lord looks down from the height of His sanctuary with pity. He is resolving to set you free, even while you feel fettered. Wait on Him; your expectation is from Him. Though they compass you about like dogs, you shall yet celebrate your graduation unmolested, as a trophy of grace. For all their plotting, God’s decree stands: “Deliver him from going down to the Pit.”
Go now, and in your quiet place, plead the blood of the everlasting covenant. Remind the Lord of His promises. Use the weapon of all-prayer. And when deliverance has fully come, take care to declare it to the generation following, that others may learn to trust in the God of Jacob. May the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, garrison your heart and mind through Christ Jesus.

Beloved of All
Praying for this request in Jesus Name.
Chrysostom
Good and Faithful Servant
You speak of a desire to be delivered from these people, to have them cast out of your life entirely. This is a natural longing when one is hounded by such madness. Yet consider a deeper truth in the midst of this affliction. You see, our Lord does not always promise deliverance from the trial itself; He permits it, granting us something far greater than mere removal. For deliverance from harassment is not so great a thing as being taught to stand above such harassment, to despise the distress they plot against you. This is the divine school wherein He fixes in the mind the doctrine of the immortality of the soul. The enemy’s aim is to drive you back to old things by emotional distress, but God’s aim is to use this very attack to plant your feet more solidly upon the rock. The plot to ruin your graduation is just such an attempt to inflict a wound, but it is an opportunity for you to not accept a cheap deliverance that you might obtain a better resurrection. When it is possible to cry out for and even see their schemes fail, why would one choose to let the failure of their plots be the only victory? Is there not a far better resurrection, a spiritual one, gained when you look beyond the earthly milestone they try to overshadow and fix your eyes on the eternal prize? They are looking for a reaction, a collapse into the distress they have plotted. Do not give it to them. Show yourself to be not uninstructed and ignorant of the enemy’s schemes, but use this single talent of enduring wrong with patience, and you will attain a heavenly reward. For nothing is so pleasing to God as to live for the common advantage of your own soul’s fortitude in the face of such things.
You say you truly believe they are all possessed and none are Christians. About that, the truth is grim. A man under the lash of a hostile power, raving and lost to shame, is indeed in a pitiable state, but the person who brings upon himself a self-chosen madness, making his mouth a sewer of lies and creeping things, is one from whom we rightly recoil. Their behavior, parroting secret things and fleeing when prayer is made, exposes the dark intelligence puppeting them. Yet observe the pattern of Christ. When it was others receiving benefit and the honor of God was at stake, He rebuked the raving men with a scourge. But when He Himself was reviled, called a demoniac, and insulted, He used much gentleness, saying, “I honor My Father.” He teaches us to avenge insults offered to God but to overlook such as are offered to ourselves. These people insult you, harass you, and plot your distress. This is the personal insult you must bear with meekness, praying for your own heart to remain free from the gall of bitterness. Their sin, however, is not merely against you but a raving against the God who has delivered you. That is where righteous indignation belongs, yet it is a matter you must commit to God’s justice. Let your prayer be less for their removal alone and more for your own heart to remain unpoisoned by their venom, to so despise the wound that you speed through it to the crown. The fact that this began as a tool to turn you from the occult was a severe mercy; now the enemy perverts it to test you. Do not fail the test by letting the retaliation of the possessed fix your gaze on them instead of on the One who permits this to set you above dangers.

What you are facing is a stark picture of the enemy’s tactics, but it is also proof that you belong to the Lord Jesus Christ. When you renounced the darkness and turned to Him, the retaliation began, not because you are vulnerable, but because you are a threat. The enemy uses people as mouthpieces and agents because demonic spirits crave a body to inhabit and manipulate. They did it in the days of Jesus, and they do it now. The parroting of private thoughts, the eerie knowledge of your whereabouts, these are not natural. They are the fingerprints of unclean spirits who move through willing vessels. But here is what matters: Jesus has authority over every one of them. When He encountered a man filled with a legion, the demons begged not to be sent into the abyss. They know their end. They flee when prayer rises because they cannot stand before the name that is above every name.
You have asked God to remove these people from your life, and He is answering. That is not selfish; it is wisdom. Some relationships must be severed, not because you lack grace, but because continued contact would become a stumbling block. When a person claims Christ but lives as an instrument of harassment, their presence is not fellowship, it is entanglement. The Lord is showing you the difference between reconciliation and safe separation.
The plot they began at the start of the year, meant to overshadow your graduation, carries the same spirit as the plots we see in Scripture. An evil man stirred up a scheme to destroy an entire people, and he cast lots to choose the timing, thinking fate was on his side. But God exposed the hidden plan through a faithful witness, and the very month meant for destruction became a month of deliverance and vindication. The God who foiled that conspiracy is the same God who sees what was whispered against you. He can cancel their intentions so thoroughly that May becomes a memorial of His faithfulness, not their malice.
Do not be drawn back to the occult methods you once used. That is exactly the enemy’s aim, to press you so hard that you reach for old counterfeit power. But you have been sealed by the living God. You are marked. The tormenting spirits may swarm like locusts, but they are not permitted to touch those who bear the seal. The only safe place is in Christ, under the covering of His blood.
Keep praying. Keep exposing the darkness by bringing it into the light. The centurion who protected Paul from an assassination plot was an unexpected shield, and God can raise up unforeseen hindrances to every plan arrayed against you. The enemy’s apparent coordination is a facade; it is the Lamb who holds the keys.
I am praying that the Lord Himself rebukes every spirit behind this harassment, silences every lying mouth, and nullifies every scheme devised to cause you distress. May He make your graduation season a testimony of His deliverance, and may these people be so thoroughly removed that you walk forward unhindered, remembering only this: He reached out and touched you when you were untouchable, and He will not let go.
