Harassment

Dhitlor

Good and Faithful Servant
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 reaching out to reconcile has been nerve wrecking for me. There is also demonic activity involved affecting these people and causing them to behave out of the ordinary way they usually would in very evil ways in addition to some of them being unsaved/deceived by false teachings which could also impact how they respond to me. This has also caused concerns for me as I reach out. I am noticing that many of these people don't really actually seem as if they are trying to rebuild a relationship with me at a personal level apart from public perception. I'm also concerned because there are people in my life who under the influence of this same demonic activity were pressuring me to make peace with these people and they seem blind to the reality of the situation in multiple ways. It's like they're under some kind of spell. I really wish I had someone to talk to about this who could understand the kind of things happening here including the demonic activity. Maybe my pastor and elders might...Please pray. Thank you.
 
We have heard your request and we thank you for sharing so honestly about what you have been enduring. We praise God that He has been opening your eyes to the seriousness of unforgiveness and to the reality that involvement in the new age opens doors to demonic influence that must be fully renounced and repented of. We understand how heavy and nerve wracking this has been as you try to do what is right before God while also dealing with real harassment and spiritual oppression.

We want to affirm what God has shown you while also bringing some biblical clarity. Scripture teaches that unforgiveness does give place to the enemy and must be dealt with. 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. And we are told let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you Ephesians 4:31-32. Forgiveness in Christ is a release of the debt to God and a refusal to hold vengeance, and it is essential for your freedom. At the same time, forgiveness and reconciliation are not the same. We are told if it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men Romans 12:18. That verse shows that peace and restored relationship depends not only on you but on the other person and whether it is possible and wise. Forgiveness can and must be done before God even when the other person does not repent or change, but rebuilding trust and close relationship requires repentance, truth, and safety and should be done with wise counsel and boundaries.

We also hear your discernment about demonic activity. Scripture is clear that 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. Those who are unsaved and deceived by false teachings are described as having the god of this world blind the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ should not dawn on them 2 Corinthians 4:4. It is right to recognize that people can be influenced and blinded, and it is also right not to assume that making peace alone will automatically stop demonic harassment. Our deliverance and protection are not ultimately in whether others respond well to us, but in our submission to God and our standing in Christ. Be subject therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you James 4:7. And we remember 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. This means we must fully renounce all new age practices, confess them as sin, and close every door through repentance, for 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 and if we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness 1 John 1:9. We encourage you to specifically renounce those involvements out loud before the Lord and ask for His cleansing.

Your desire to talk to your pastor and elders is wise and biblical and we strongly encourage you to pursue that. Do not walk through this alone or try to reconcile in private with people who have harmed you and who may still be hostile or under deception. Bring mature believers with you for wisdom, protection, and witness. They can help you discern when to reach out, when to set boundaries, and when to entrust the outcome to God. We also urge you to be cautious about pressure from others to make peace quickly or for the sake of public perception. True peace is not performance. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil Ephesians 6:11 and seek God for discernment rather than being driven by fear or the expectations of people who may not understand spiritual warfare.

We notice you spoke of God but did not mention Jesus Christ in your request, and we want to 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 no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved Acts 4:12. If you have not already, we urge you to place your full trust in Jesus Christ, His death on the cross for your sins and His resurrection, believing in your heart and confessing Him as Lord Romans 10:9. It is by His name and His blood that demons must flee and that we are forgiven and made children of God.

We now pray together for you in Jesus name.

Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ and we lift up this dear one to You. We thank You for drawing them out of darkness and for revealing the need to forgive. We ask You to give them grace to fully forgive as You have forgiven them, to release every person who has harmed them into Your hands, and to renounce and turn from every new age practice and every agreement with darkness. Cleanse them by the blood of Jesus and fill them with Your Holy Spirit. We ask for Your protection over them, that no weapon formed against them would prosper, and that You would command Your angels to guard them. Give them wisdom beyond their own understanding as they consider reconciliation, show them when to speak, when to wait, and when to set firm boundaries, and let them not be driven by fear or by pressure from others. We pray for the people who have harassed them, that You would open their eyes, convict them of sin, and bring them to repentance and salvation in Jesus, and that every demonic influence affecting them would be bound and cast out by the authority of Christ. We pray for their pastor and elders, that You would give them discernment, compassion, and biblical counsel to walk with them through this. Grant them peace that passes understanding, courage, and the assurance that You see, You hear, and You will deliver. We pray that they would daily put on the full armor of God and stand firm in Christ, knowing that greater is He who is in them than he who is in the world. We ask all this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, amen.
 
We have been holding your request before the Lord and we can hear how heavy and lonely this has felt. Wanting to honor God, carrying memories of real harm on both sides, and feeling nervous every time you reach out is a lot to hold at once. It makes sense you would long for someone safe who understands both the spiritual weight and the practical complexity.

One insight that helps many people is that releasing resentment in your own heart before God and rebuilding a relationship with someone are not the same thing. You can choose forgiveness as an inward decision and still need wisdom, time, and mutual willingness before any relationship is restored. Your observation that some responses seem more about public perception than genuine personal care is worth paying attention to, and feeling pressured by others to hurry that process only adds to the burden.

You mentioned wondering about talking with your pastor and elders, and we think that is a wise next step. Before reaching out further, it could help to sit with one or two trusted, steady leaders, share what you have already tried, who has been pressuring you, and what feels unsafe, and let them help you discern pace and boundaries. You do not have to sort all of this alone, and having someone with you can bring clarity and protection if any further contact is wise.

Father, we lift our friend to You. You see the weariness, the desire to do what is right, and the need for wisdom and safety. Surround them with listeners who understand and give calm, clear guidance. Guard their heart and mind in Christ and lead each step in Your timing. In Jesus' name, amen.
 
Your letter has been weighed with care and with prayer, and I thank you for speaking so plainly of what has pressed upon you. To be harassed, to feel the after effects of a former walk in the new age, to carry the weight of things done both by you and against you, and to feel nerve wracking fear at the thought of reaching out, is a heavy burden indeed. The Lord knows the trembling of your heart as you desire both forgiveness and deliverance, and He hears the cry of those who seek Him.

Hear first what the Word declares for your own soul, that there is forgiveness with God. It is a divine forgiveness, I even I am He that blotteth out thy transgressions, and it is surprising forgiveness, complete forgiveness, eternal forgiveness for Christ's sake. You have seen rightly that unforgiveness gives place to the enemy, and you do well to desire a penitent heart. Yet remember who it is that sends the forgiveness. It is not from man, nor from your success in making peace with others, that forgiveness comes. There is forgiveness with Thee, where the offense went, from that very place the forgiveness comes. If you have been the chief of sinners, you may have the chief of sinner's forgiveness, and God can bestow it now through Jesus Christ His Son, the Just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God. He has found a ransom. The prisoner ready to go down to the pit hears this word, I have found a ransom, and his deliverance is certain, for it is already accomplished by the blood of the Lamb.

Because you have in Him a full forgiveness, you are called to that joint stock business of mutual forgiveness, forgiving one another even as God for His Christ's sake hath forgiven you. Some of us who have had so much manifest forgiveness ought to find it natural to open our hands to forgive. Yet take care to understand what this means. Forgiveness in your heart before God, releasing the debt and desiring no revenge, is your duty and your liberty. It does not depend upon whether those who harassed you will receive you, nor does it require you to rebuild a close personal relationship where evil behavior continues, where men remain unsaved and deceived by false teachings, or where public perception is prized above truth. Were you such that all men hissed at you, though you ought to desire your fellow creatures forgiveness, it would not be necessary that you should have it to enter heaven. Your peace with God does not hang upon their response.

And concerning deliverance, know that deliverance from sin and from the power of darkness is solely by the power of God. It is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that showeth mercy. He brought them forth, not they themselves. When the lamb was slain, Pharaoh could hold Israel no longer. So your deliverance will not be wrought by your theorizing or by striving to appease those who have done you harm, though a quiet and peaceable spirit is to be pursued where it is possible. If you have crossed the brook full of fear and trembling, remember Jacob who prayed for deliverance from him whom he thought bloodthirsty, and found that God can turn the heart even of an Esau. But God may also in wisdom keep you from close fellowship where danger remains. Do not be driven by the pressure of others who seem blind to the reality or as you say under some kind of spell. The results which come through the deliverance wrought by the Lord Jesus Christ include peace within our borders, deliverance from the archers of ecclesiastical discord and confusion. Seek that peace not by hasty entanglements, but by wise counsel.

You do well to wish for someone who understands both the spiritual conflict and the practical wisdom needed. You mention your pastor and elders, and I urge you to go to them without delay. Open the whole matter to them, the former new age ground, the present harassment, the pressure you feel, and your desire to forgive yet your fear of further harm. They are set as watchmen to give hearty assent and consent to His salvation and to help you walk with discernment. Do not walk this path alone or guided only by those who press you without understanding.

Let us pray together. O Lord our God, with whom there is forgiveness, look upon this soul who desires to be clean before Thee. Apply the ransom found by Thy Son, and let the whisper drive away despair, there is forgiveness, there is forgiveness. Grant a full and distinct assurance of pardon through Christ, and a daily continuance of that forgiving grace. Bring deliverance by Thy mighty hand, for Thou alone canst bring forth from the pit. Guard from harassment and from the evil one, give wisdom to forgive from the heart while not being ensnared again, give courage to seek godly counsel and to heed it, and give peace that is not of public perception but of Thy Spirit. Let Thy clock of mercy strike the hour of deliverance, and enrich with silver and gold of Thy grace. In Jesus name, Amen.
