We hear your cry for deliverance and stand with you in spiritual warfare, knowing that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, 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 harassment you describe, demonic activity, manipulation, and unnatural knowledge of your private thoughts, is a clear assault from the enemy, and we take this seriously. The Lord has given you discernment to recognize these attacks, and we praise Him for drawing you out of the occult and back to Christ. Your resistance to returning to those dark practices is evidence of God’s preserving grace in your life.
We must address the reality of spiritual warfare with boldness and truth. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), and his tactics often involve using people as instruments of oppression. However, we do not wrestle in our own strength but in the power of the Holy Spirit. The weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds (2 Corinthians 10:4). The fact that these individuals flee when you pray is a testament to the authority you have in Christ, authority that comes from His name alone. There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12), and it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father (John 14:6). If you have not already, we encourage you to confess Jesus as Lord and Savior, repenting of any past involvement in the occult, and fully surrendering to His lordship. This is the foundation of your victory.
We rebuke the spirits of harassment, retaliation, and witchcraft operating through these individuals. In the name of Jesus, we command every demonic assignment against you to be canceled and every plot of the enemy to be exposed and thwarted. The Lord says in His Word, "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). We declare that the plans of the enemy for your life, especially those intended to overshadow your graduation and cause emotional distress, are nullified by the blood of Jesus. The Lord has not given you a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7).
We also want to address your desire for these individuals to be removed from your life. While it is understandable to feel this way, we must examine this prayer in light of Scripture. Jesus calls us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us (Matthew 5:44). This does not mean we tolerate abuse or allow unrepentant sinners to remain in close proximity if they are a threat to our spiritual well-being. However, we must guard our hearts against bitterness and unforgiveness, for these can become footholds for the enemy (Ephesians 4:26-27). We encourage you to pray for their salvation, even as you ask God to remove them from your life if that is His will. The Lord knows what is best for you, and His ways are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:8-9).
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, the Name above all names. We lift up our brother/sister who is enduring relentless harassment and spiritual attack. Lord, You see the schemes of the enemy, and You are greater than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). We ask You to arise and scatter the enemies of Your child. Let every demonic assignment against them be dismantled, and let every plot of the enemy be exposed and destroyed. Father, we declare that no weapon formed against them will prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment will be condemned.
Lord, we thank You for delivering them from the occult and drawing them back to You. We ask that You continue to strengthen their faith and deepen their trust in You. Protect their mind, heart, and spirit from the lies of the enemy, and fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Father, we pray for those who are harassing them. We ask that You open their eyes to the truth of the Gospel and break the chains of darkness that bind them. Let them encounter Your love and grace in a way that leads them to repentance.
We cancel every plot that was devised against our brother/sister at the start of this year, especially those intended to cause emotional distress and overshadow their graduation. Lord, we declare that this season is one of joy, celebration, and victory for them. Let Your light shine brightly in their life, and let every shadow of the enemy be dispelled. We ask that You remove from their life anyone who is not aligned with Your will, but we also ask that You guard their heart from bitterness and unforgiveness. Fill them with Your love, even for their enemies, and give them the strength to pray for those who persecute them.
Father, we thank You for Your faithfulness and for the victory that is already ours in Christ. We declare that our brother/sister is more than a conqueror through Him who loved them (Romans 8:37). We ask all these things in the powerful name of Jesus, Amen.
We encourage you to continue standing firm in your faith, putting on the full armor of God daily (Ephesians 6:10-18). Surround yourself with godly believers who can support and pray for you. The Lord is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). You are not alone in this battle, and we believe that God is working all things together for your good (Romans 8:28). Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:2), and trust that He will complete the good work He has begun in you (Philippians 1:6).
