I have posted before about experiencing harassment by people who were doing so under the influence of demons that came into my life when I was in the new age. Well, God has helped me see that problems with unforgiveness kept these demons being able to harass me. After this, I began to theorize that making peace with these people who have been harassing me was the key to finally putting an end to this demonic harassment and have been trying to do so. Please pray for me about this. This is not going to be an easy or simple process as harmful things have been done on both my end and theirs and there is also demonic activity involved affecting these people and causing them to behave out of the ordinary way they usually would in addition to some of them being unsaved/deceived by false teachings which could also impact how they respond to me. Thank you.

We hear your burden and we join with you in seeking the Lord together for deliverance, wisdom and peace. We thank God that He has opened your eyes to the danger of the new age and to the hold that unforgiveness can have in our lives. What you describe is very real, for we do not wrestle 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. When we opened doors through new age practices, we gave the enemy ground, and we must fully renounce and turn away from those things, as those in Ephesus did when they brought their books together and burned them Acts 19:19. God calls us to have no fellowship with darkness and to be transformed as a new creation in Christ 2 Corinthians 5:17.
We also rejoice that the Lord has shown you the power of forgiveness, for His word is clear. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you Ephesians 4:32. And For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses Matthew 6:14-15. Unforgiveness does keep a door open to torment and harassment, and we must release those who have harmed us into God's hands, not because what they did was acceptable, but because Christ has forgiven us so great a debt and we are commanded to forgive.
We want to encourage you with wisdom about making peace with those who have harassed you. It is right to desire peace, and we are told If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men Romans 12:18. Forgiveness in your heart before God is always required and can be done immediately with His help. Reconciliation and restored relationship, however, depends on repentance, truth, safety and the response of the other person. Forgiveness does not always mean trusting again or placing yourself back into a place where you will be harmed, especially when demonic influence, deception and false teaching are still at work and some remain unsaved. We encourage you to pursue peace with boundaries, with godly counsel from mature believers and pastors, and with discernment, not out of a theory that you must earn deliverance, but out of obedience and love.
For your own deliverance, scripture assures us that greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world 1 John 4:4 and that if we submit ourselves to God and resist the devil, he will flee from us James 4:7. The weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds 2 Corinthians 10:4. We put on the whole armor of God Ephesians 6:11, we confess our sins and renounce the new age fully, we receive His forgiveness as we confess in 1 John 1:9, and we stand in the authority of Jesus Christ.
We noticed your request speaks of God but does not mention the name of Jesus Christ, and we must lovingly remind you that it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father and deliverance from darkness. Jesus said I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me John 14:6 and 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 Acts 4:12. It is by believing in Jesus, that He died for our sins and rose again, and calling upon His name, that we are saved, forgiven and given authority over the enemy. If you have not already, we encourage you to place your full trust in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and to pray and command in His name alone.
We pray together with you now. Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, and we thank You for Your mercy that has brought our dear one out of darkness into Your light. We confess before You all involvement in the new age and every door opened to the enemy, and we ask You to forgive and cleanse through the blood of Jesus. We ask You to help us to forgive fully as You have forgiven us, to release every person who has harassed and harmed us, and to heal the wounds that have been done on both sides. Lord, close every door that unforgiveness has kept open and let no weapon formed against us prosper. We pray for protection, for wisdom to know how and when to seek peace and when to keep a godly distance, and for boldness to resist the devil and stand firm in faith. We pray for those who have harassed us, especially those who are unsaved and deceived by false teachings, that You would open their eyes, turn them from darkness to light Acts 26:18, and bring them to repentance and salvation in Jesus. Fill us with Your Holy Spirit, with peace that passes understanding, and with the assurance that You are our refuge and deliverer. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, amen.
We encourage you to remain in the Word daily, to pray continually in Jesus name, to stay in fellowship with a Bible believing church, and to seek wise pastoral counsel as you navigate these relationships. God is faithful to complete the work He has begun in you and to keep you as you walk in obedience, forgiveness and truth.

We appreciate you sharing this update with us, and we hear how heavy and complicated this has felt for a long time.
It is meaningful that God has been showing you more about unforgiveness in your own heart, and it makes sense you would want to see if making peace with those who have hurt you could bring more freedom. At the same time, you are right to notice this is not simple, especially when hurt has happened on both sides and you are still sorting out what is yours to carry and what is not.
One thing that has helped others is remembering that forgiveness and reconciliation are not the same thing. Forgiveness is the work God does in your heart as you release the debt to Him, while reconciliation involves rebuilding trust with another person, which takes mutual willingness, safety, and time, and is not always possible or wise to pursue directly.
Before you reach out to anyone who has harassed you, we would encourage you to walk this next part with a trusted pastor or mature counselor who knows your story face to face. He can help you pray through timing, boundaries, and what a wise, calm step toward peace might look like without putting yourself at risk.
Father, we bring our friend to You in Jesus' name. We ask for Your protection, for healing from past harm, and for clear wisdom for each relationship and decision ahead. Give peace that is rooted in Christ, and guide each step with discernment and grace. Amen.

Beloved of All
Your request has been brought before the Lord and we join you in seeking His mercy and deliverance. We give thanks that God has opened your eyes to see the snare of the new age and to turn from it, and that He has shown you the great matter of forgiveness. It is a gracious work when the heart is made tender to see its own need of pardon and its call to pardon others.
The Scripture declares, There is forgiveness with Thee, that Thou mayest be feared. This forgiveness is not from man but from God Himself. I, even I, am He that blotteth out thy transgressions. It is a divine forgiveness, surprising and complete, an absolute forgiveness of the debt through the ransom which God Himself has found in the blood of His Son. As we have been forgiven so freely and so fully in Christ, we are called to forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven us. This is a continuous and eternal forgiveness, and when we have tasted so much mercy, to forgive others becomes our joy and our duty.
We understand your desire to make peace where harm has been done on both sides. The Lord calls His people to forgive from the heart and, as much as lieth in you, to live peaceably with all men. Yet remember that your deliverance is not wrought by appeasing men, but solely by the power of God. He brought them forth. It is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. The Lamb has been slain and the ransom has been found, and therefore your deliverance from sin and from the power of the enemy is certain in Christ. Forgiveness toward those who have harassed you is right and needful before God, whether they receive it or return peace or not. You do not need their forgiveness to enter heaven if you have His, though you ought to desire to be at peace.
We will pray for you that the Lord will keep you in this path with wisdom and protection.
Our Father, we thank Thee that there is forgiveness with Thee through Jesus Christ who died, the Just for the unjust, to bring us to God. We ask Thee to establish this dear one in the full assurance that all sin is blotted out in Christ, and to give a heart that continues daily to forgive as it has been forgiven. Grant deliverance from all demonic harassment and oppression, for Thou alone art mighty to save. Let the power of the enemy be broken, and let no unforgiveness give place to him. Give wisdom in every effort toward peace, that it may be done in truth and holiness, without returning to harm or to deception. Protect from those who are yet unsaved and deceived by false teaching, and bring them also, if it be Thy will, to see the light of the gospel and to be saved. Keep this soul close to Christ, under the covering of His blood, and cause songs of deliverance to be heard again. In the name of Jesus our ransom and our peace, Amen.
We encourage you to walk closely with faithful believers and with pastors who hold fast to the Word, that you may have counsel and accountability as you seek to forgive and to live in peace while guarding what is holy and safe. The Lord who has begun a good work will be faithful to complete it.
