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 triumphed over every power of darkness. The harassment you describe is not merely human opposition, it is spiritual warfare, and we take it seriously as Scripture 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). The demonic activity you’ve witnessed, unnatural knowledge, manipulation, and outright spiritual attack, confirms this is a battle waged in the unseen realms. But take heart: "Greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world" (1 John 4:4).
Your journey from the occult to Christ is a testimony to God’s relentless pursuit of you. The enemy’s fury now is a sign of his defeat, he rages because he knows his time is short (Revelation 12:12). But we rebuke every assignment of harassment, retaliation, and emotional torment in Jesus’ name. We declare that the plots formed against you, especially the schemes meant to mar your graduation and this season of your life, are canceled, dismantled, and rendered powerless. "No weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment" (Isaiah 54:17). The enemy’s plans are exposed and frustrated by the blood of the Lamb and the word of your testimony (Revelation 12:11).
We also address the relationships you’ve had to sever. Scripture 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). Some connections were never meant to be reconciled because they were rooted in darkness, not God’s design. Your decision to pray for their removal, rather than reconciliation, aligns with wisdom when their presence becomes a stumbling block or a conduit for spiritual attack. God honors boundaries set in obedience to Him. "If your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it from you" (Matthew 5:29), this is not about literal self-harm, but about radical obedience to protect your spiritual life.
Yet we must also guard your heart against bitterness or a spirit of vengeance. Jesus calls us to "bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you" (Luke 6:28). This does not mean tolerating abuse or inviting further harassment, but entrusting justice to God. "Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord" (Romans 12:19). Pray for their salvation, that the same God who rescued you would open their eyes to the truth. But do not carry their burden, release them to Him.
Now, we pray with you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, the Name above every name, the One who has disarmed principalities and powers and made a public spectacle of them (Colossians 2:15). We stand on Your Word and declare that [this person] is covered by the blood of Jesus, sealed by Your Spirit, and protected by Your angels. Lord, we rebuke every demonic assignment against them, every plot, every lie, every harassment, and every attempt to draw them back into darkness. We cancel the enemy’s schemes for this year, especially the emotional distress planned for May. We declare that their graduation and this season are blessed, joyful, and overshadowed by Your presence alone.
Father, we ask You to remove these harassers from their life completely. Cut every ungodly soul tie, break every demonic alliance, and silence every lying tongue. Let the fear of God fall upon those who have tormented them, that they would flee from the light of Your truth. Surround [this person] with godly community, believers who will encourage, protect, and stand in the gap for them. Heal the wounds left by this spiritual battle, Lord. Restore their peace, their joy, and their trust in You.
We pray for the salvation of these harassers. Open their eyes to see the emptiness of the occult and the fullness of life in Christ. Let them encounter Your love in a way that breaks every chain. But if they refuse to repent, we ask You to bind their hands and shut their mouths. Let them be exposed, frustrated, and rendered powerless to harm Your child.
Lord, we also ask You to strengthen [this person] in their faith. Remind them that You are their refuge and fortress (Psalm 91). Fill them with Your Spirit, that they may walk in boldness, wisdom, and discernment. Teach them to wield the sword of Your Word and stand firm in the armor You’ve provided (Ephesians 6:10-18). Let them see Your hand at work in this battle, turning what the enemy meant for evil into a testimony of Your faithfulness.
We thank You, Father, that You hear our prayers and act on behalf of Your children. We declare victory in Jesus’ name, for You have already won. Amen.
Continue to resist the devil, and he will flee from you (James 4:7). Stay rooted in Scripture, in prayer, and in godly community. The enemy’s attacks are proof that you are a threat to his kingdom, so keep pressing into Christ. You are not alone in this fight. We stand with you, and more importantly, the Lord of Hosts stands with you. His peace, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).

We have been sitting with what you wrote, and we want you to know we hear the exhaustion behind it, not just weariness from what has dragged on for years, but the particular sting of harassment that seems to reach into things no one should know. That is a heavy thing to carry, and it makes sense that you are simply done wanting these people in your life. When you said you saw God moving in answer to your prayers for removal, that mattered. We want to steady you in that: you are not wrong for asking Him to shut a door that He seems to be shutting. Not every relationship warrants a reconciliation arc; sometimes the faithful act is to let someone go while keeping your own heart clean before God.
What we have seen over time in pastoral care is that sustained spiritual harassment thrives on keeping a person perpetually looking over their shoulder. One of the most disruptive things you can do to that harassment is refuse to let it anchor your attention forward. That does not mean pretending it did not happen. It means letting the graduation in May stand as a genuine milestone, something of your own that God gave you, regardless of whatever parallel plot was swirling. No scheme can reach into the past and steal what was real. If the aim is emotional distress, simply naming that plot out loud, as you have, strips some of its hidden power.
We also want to say gently: finding one or two spiritually mature people in person, a pastor, a seasoned prayer minister, who can walk with you steadily, not in crisis mode but over time, can be a protective anchor. There is a kind of clarity that grows best when we are not sorting through the darkness alone.
A prayer as you go: Lord Jesus, You see this one who has turned back to You, and You know every hidden scheme. We ask for their safety, for a peace that is concrete and felt, and for every harassing voice to fall silent. Bring the full removal they have been praying for, and guard their heart from the pull of anything that would entangle them again. We pray this in Your name.

Beloved of All
It is well that you have ceased praying for reconciliation with those whose fellowship would only become a snare to your soul, and have instead looked to the Lord for a clean deliverance. When the enemy uses men as his puppets, their removal is often a mercy. I hear your weariness; the protracted assault of demonized souls is no light trial. Yet know this: the malice of the wicked is only a rod in the hand of your Father. The text runs, “The Lord has chastened me sorely, but he has not given me over unto death.” You see the enemy striking, but you must learn to see the Lord overruling. The foe means it for evil; God means it for your lasting good. He brought you out of the darkness of the new age and witchcraft, and if He must permit a season of harassment to anchor you to Christ and drive away all hankering after former things, then even this bitter draught has hidden sweetness. The Lord’s arrows of deliverance fly home when we shoot them in prayer; you have felt it already when you cried out and the tormentors fled. So do not stay your hand. Smite through every arrow, not only for a temporary reprieve, but for a final rout. It is not your own strength that prevails, “He brought them forth” is the song of every delivered soul, yet He uses the bow of your supplication.
Be careful that no hidden tenderness for old sins lingers. You were once entangled in the occult; flee from it as from the pit of hell. The enemy would gladly drive you back by making you think such arts could give you protection. To turn again to those weak and beggarly elements would be to invite seven devils worse than the first. Stand fast in Christ, for He is your ransom. “I have found a ransom,” says the Lord; the price is paid, and no accusing demon can claim what Christ has bought. Your guilt is gone, and the power of sin is broken, this is a deliverance wholly of God. Look to Him for sanctification as much as for justification. And remember, the harassment itself, when it comes, is not outside the pale of God’s decree. It is a sore chastening, but the time will come when you will say, “It was good for me that I was afflicted.”
Concerning the plotted harm against your graduation and the month of May: the plotters devise schemes, but He who sits in the heavens laughs. The Lord has foiled them before, and He will cancel the devices of the crafty. Cast that burden upon Him and leave it there. Do not brood over what they may attempt, for that is to give the adversary an advantage. Instead, let your heart be filled with gratitude for deliverances already received, silver and gold from the hand of your delivering God. He did not merely bring Israel out of Egypt; He brought them forth with substance. So will He enrich you with patience, faith, and a nearer walk with Him through this fiery trial. And one day, when the people are gathered together and you stand in the congregation of the saints, you will declare the name of the Lord in Zion and tell of His praise for this very deliverance.
Be at peace. The last enemy, death itself, is to be destroyed; how much more these lesser foes who breathe out threatenings. They are but shadows fleeing before the rising Sun of Righteousness. The Lord is your light and your salvation; whom shall you fear? He will bring you forth, and no weapon formed against you shall prosper. Rest in the finished work of Jesus, and let your prayer be not only for removal, but for grace to glorify God in the fire.

The enemy rages fiercely against those who have turned from darkness to light, but greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. You have felt the sharpness of this truth, for the very same ones who harass you are themselves snared by the devil and made instruments of his malice. Yet consider: their mischief does not stop at you; it first devours them. The slanderer, the plotter, the persecutor reaps his own ruin before he touches his target. He wastes away under the hatred of God and men, and his own conscience, though seared, cannot escape the worm that never dies. Do not envy them; they are to be pitied as those possessed, cutting themselves with stones far sharper than any iron, stones of malice, envy, and uncleanness.
You are right to ask God to remove these stumbling blocks from your path. When our Lord was reviled as a demoniac, He replied with astonishing meekness, teaching us to bear personal insults quietly but to stand firm for the honor of God. You have resisted the urge to retaliate, and that is well. But there is no command to keep company with those who continually spew venom and seek your harm. If they will not receive the truth, it is better to shake the dust from your feet and entrust them to the judgment of Him who sees all. The plots they have laid for ###, meant to overshadow your graduation, are an evil of the day, born of their own wicked hearts, not from the hand of God. He who delivered Paul from the mouth of the lion will deliver you from every evil work. Their schemes are known to Him, and He will turn them back upon their own heads, as surely as he baffled the plots of the past.
Yet do not let the bitterness of these trials poison your own soul. The great safeguard is a pure conscience. If you are innocent of wrong toward them, rejoice; your conscience testifies for you before God, and that is a crown no enemy can snatch away. What they whisper in darkness, what they boast in secret, will be shouted from the housetops on the last day. The Holy Spirit is given to you as a guard and a wall; do not expel Him by returning evil for evil, or by letting fear drive you back toward the old occult enticements. You turned to Christ, and that turning enraged the enemy. He now tempts you to despair or to grasp for power again, but his aim is to sift you like wheat. Stand fast, keep the good deposit, and the Spirit will hold you firm.
Pray for deliverance, yes, but pray also with a heart at peace, knowing that their frenzy is a sign of their slavery to the ruler of this age, not of your defeat. They flee when you pray because the darkness cannot bear the light. Let that sight strengthen your faith, not frighten you. The Lord who began a good work in you will complete it. In the meantime, be wise as serpents: avoid needless contact, speak little of them except in prayer, and trust that the God who turned their earlier malice to your awakening can turn even this for your good. The evil of the day is sufficient for itself; do not take up tomorrow’s anxieties. Your graduation is not theirs to ruin; it is a milestone of God’s grace in your life, and His blessing overshadows every curse. Commit that day into His hands, and let no plot steal the joy of what He has accomplished.

Beloved of All
I have read through what you are facing, and I want to speak directly to the heart of it. What you are describing is not merely relational trouble or ordinary conflict. It is spiritual, and the enemy does not fight fairly. When you turned from the occult and toward Christ, you stepped into a battle that has been raging ever since. The harassment, the eerie knowledge of your private thoughts, the timing of it all, these are signs of a demonic element that hates your deliverance and wants to wear you down until you reach for old, forbidden comforts.
Remember that Jesus has absolute authority over every unclean spirit. When He walked the earth, even the demons recognized Him and had to ask permission before acting. They cried out, fearing torment before the appointed time. That same Lord sees every scheme arrayed against you. The trap that was set for your graduation, meant to overshadow a milestone and bring you emotional distress, is not hidden from Him. God delights in making a way where there is no way. When His people stood trapped at the Red Sea with an army behind them, He split the waters and turned their certain destruction into a song of deliverance. He can do for you what no human effort can accomplish. I am asking Him to cancel that plot entirely, to scramble whatever was begun at the start of the year, and to turn that month of May from a target of sorrow into a quiet testimony of His faithfulness.
You are right to stop praying for reconciliation with those who have proven themselves instruments of harm. Scripture shows us that there are times when God seals His own, marking them for protection while judgment falls on those who persist in wickedness. Not every relationship is meant to be restored in this life; some must be surrendered entirely. Do not let false guilt pull you back toward people whose lives would become a stumbling block. The enemy often uses the memory of past affections or a distorted sense of Christian duty to lure the wounded back into the fire. Stand firm: some doors God Himself is closing, and your prayer for removal is not unspiritual, it is wisdom.
Be careful about your emotions in all of this. That may sound odd, but I have seen too many grow addicted to the high of a crisis and the relief that follows, mistaking emotional swings for the Spirit’s leading. True faith is not built on the rush of a deliverance or the despair of a siege; it is anchored in the solid truth of God’s Word. The enemy would love nothing more than to keep you bouncing between terror and exhilaration, because that pattern mirrors the instability he fostered in your life before you turned to Christ. Let your footing be the reality that you belong to Jesus, sealed by His Spirit, and that no scorpion’s sting can touch what He has covered. When the harassers flee at your prayers, that is not magic, it is the power of God reminding them of their coming torment and your protected position.
I am praying that the harassment ceases completely. I am asking the Lord to blind the eyes of those who are being used, to scatter their unity, and to make your life profoundly uninteresting to them. I pray that whatever was plotted to bring you emotional harm this year, especially as May arrived, would be overturned so thoroughly that you see the hand of God where others meant evil. He delivered Israel through the sea, and He delivered the early church from the schemes of demonized rulers. The same God stands over your life. Do not go back; you are not alone, and you are not without help.
Remember that Jesus has absolute authority over every unclean spirit. When He walked the earth, even the demons recognized Him and had to ask permission before acting. They cried out, fearing torment before the appointed time. That same Lord sees every scheme arrayed against you. The trap that was set for your graduation, meant to overshadow a milestone and bring you emotional distress, is not hidden from Him. God delights in making a way where there is no way. When His people stood trapped at the Red Sea with an army behind them, He split the waters and turned their certain destruction into a song of deliverance. He can do for you what no human effort can accomplish. I am asking Him to cancel that plot entirely, to scramble whatever was begun at the start of the year, and to turn that month of May from a target of sorrow into a quiet testimony of His faithfulness.
You are right to stop praying for reconciliation with those who have proven themselves instruments of harm. Scripture shows us that there are times when God seals His own, marking them for protection while judgment falls on those who persist in wickedness. Not every relationship is meant to be restored in this life; some must be surrendered entirely. Do not let false guilt pull you back toward people whose lives would become a stumbling block. The enemy often uses the memory of past affections or a distorted sense of Christian duty to lure the wounded back into the fire. Stand firm: some doors God Himself is closing, and your prayer for removal is not unspiritual, it is wisdom.
Be careful about your emotions in all of this. That may sound odd, but I have seen too many grow addicted to the high of a crisis and the relief that follows, mistaking emotional swings for the Spirit’s leading. True faith is not built on the rush of a deliverance or the despair of a siege; it is anchored in the solid truth of God’s Word. The enemy would love nothing more than to keep you bouncing between terror and exhilaration, because that pattern mirrors the instability he fostered in your life before you turned to Christ. Let your footing be the reality that you belong to Jesus, sealed by His Spirit, and that no scorpion’s sting can touch what He has covered. When the harassers flee at your prayers, that is not magic, it is the power of God reminding them of their coming torment and your protected position.
