Harassment

Dhitlor

Beloved Servant
Please pray for an end to demonic harassment that has targeted me for many years of my life. I have also 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 hear the weight of what you have carried for many years and we join with you in seeking the Lord for deliverance and peace in Jesus name. We thank God that He has already been opening your eyes to see how unforgiveness can give place to the enemy, and that you have turned away from the new age which opens doors to demonic influence. Scripture warns us not to give place to the devil Ephesians 4:27 and that our struggle 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. At the same time we are assured that greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world 1 John 4:4 and that when we submit ourselves therefore to God and resist the devil, he will flee from us James 4:7.

We praise God for showing you the importance of forgiveness. The Word tells us to be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you Ephesians 4:32 and to forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses Mark 11:25. For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you don’t forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses Matthew 6:14-15. Forgiveness in the heart before God is commanded and it does remove legal ground the enemy uses to harass. Reconciliation and rebuilding trust, however, is different from forgiveness. 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 phrase as much as it is up to you and if it is possible shows that peace and restored relationship also depends on the other person's repentance and willingness. Forgiveness can be given freely even when the other person does not repent, but reconciliation requires truth, repentance and safety on both sides. We encourage you not to confuse the pressure you feel from others to make peace quickly with what God requires of you, which is a sincere heart of forgiveness and a willingness to do what is right before Him, while also walking in wisdom.

We also understand your concern that some of those who harmed you, and even some around you now, seem to be behaving out of character, blinded or under a kind of spell, and that some are unsaved or deceived by false teachings. Scripture says the god of this world has blinded 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 and that we must test the spirits, whether they are of God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world 1 John 4:1. People under demonic influence or false teaching often cannot see clearly, and their response to your sincere efforts toward peace may be shallow, concerned only with public perception, or even hostile. That does not mean your obedience in forgiving has failed. God sees your heart and the nerve wracking step of reaching out, and He will honor your obedience even if others do not respond rightly. We would encourage you with great care to seek wise, grounded counsel face to face, and your desire to talk with your pastor and elders is exactly what the Lord would have you do. In the multitude of counselors there is victory Proverbs 11:14. Bring them the full history, including your past involvement in the new age and your renouncing of it, the patterns of harassment, and the pressure you feel from others, so they can pray with you, help you discern boundaries, and stand with you in spiritual warfare.

We also want to gently address that your request mentions God but does not mention Jesus Christ. We say this in love because it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to the Father and that we are saved and delivered. 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. If you have not already, we urge you to confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, for with the heart one believes resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made resulting in salvation Romans 10:9-10. It is through His shed blood and His authority that demons must bow, for He has given us authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy Luke 10:19. Any renunciation of the new age, any forgiveness, any resistance of the enemy must be done in that name.

We rebuke every demonic assignment and harassment against you and we renounce the works of darkness that entered through the new age, through unforgiveness, and through any sin on either side. We ask the Lord to close every door that was opened and to cleanse you by the blood of Christ. We also rebuke the spirit of fear and anxiety that makes reaching out feel overwhelming, for God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control 2 Timothy 1:7.

We pray together with you now. Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, and we thank You that You have not abandoned this dear one but have been revealing truth and leading toward freedom. We ask You to forgive every sin, to wash away every stain by the blood of Jesus, and to help our brother or sister to fully forgive from the heart every person who has caused harm, even as You have forgiven us in Christ. We ask You to break every chain of demonic harassment, to command every unclean spirit to leave and not return, and to fill every place once occupied by darkness with Your Holy Spirit, Your peace and Your light. Lord, give wisdom to know how to pursue peace without striving beyond what is possible, to set godly boundaries, and to not be swayed by pressure from those who are blinded. Give courage and clarity when reaching out is nerve wracking, and guard the heart from discouragement when responses are shallow or evil. We ask You to open the eyes of those who are unsaved and deceived by false teachings, that they may turn from darkness to light. We pray for the pastor and elders, that You would give them discernment, compassion and understanding of spiritual warfare, that they may be true shepherds and counselors in this battle. Cover this life with Your armor, with the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the preparation of the Good News of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit which is Your Word Ephesians 6:10-18. Teach us to be sober and self-controlled, to resist the devil steadfast in our faith 1 Peter 5:8-9, and to rest in Your promise that You are close to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit Psalm 34:18. Let Your perfect peace guard heart and mind in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:7. We ask all this in the name above every name, Jesus Christ our Lord and Deliverer, amen.
 
We hear how exhausting these years have been and how much courage it has taken to even consider reaching out to people who have hurt you. It makes sense that this feels nerve wracking with so much history on both sides and with the spiritual weight you are sensing.

One thing that has helped others is to keep forgiveness and reconciliation separate in your mind. Forgiveness is the work you do before God to release the debt and let go of carrying resentment, which can happen even at a distance. Reconciliation is rebuilding trust and closeness, and that can only happen when it is safe, mutual and over time. Noticing that some people seem interested only in how things look publicly is important information to bring to wise counsel, not a failure on your part.

Since you mentioned your pastor and elders, we would encourage you to take that next step soon and not carry this discernment alone. Bring one or two trusted leaders into the specifics, including the pressure you feel from others to make peace quickly, and ask them to help you decide who, if anyone, to contact next, how and with what boundaries. Going with someone else present can also give you protection and clarity.

Father, we lift our brother to You. Cover him with Your peace, guard his heart and mind in Christ, give him wisdom for each relationship and courage to walk at Your pace. Lead him to safe, understanding counsel and keep him close to Jesus. In Jesus name, amen.
 
Lord Jesus please richly bless, protect and guide them. Please help them in accordance with your perfect will Father. Thank you and praise you. In your holy name I pray. Amen.
 
Your burden has been read with deep care and with prayer before the Lord, and I thank you for speaking so plainly of things which have long pressed upon your soul.

You have rightly discerned two great truths which the Word of God sets before us. The first is that there is forgiveness with Him, and the second is that deliverance is of the Lord alone.

Concerning forgiveness, hear what the Scripture declares, There is forgiveness with Thee. It is not a forgiveness wrung from man, nor a peace that depends upon the favor of those who have harmed you. As I have often preached, it is a divine forgiveness, I, even I, am He. Were all men to hiss at you and withhold their pardon, yet if God forgives, you may enter heaven. And this forgiveness is surprising and complete and eternal. He not only forgave us at the first all our sins, but He continues daily to forgive, for the act of forgiveness is a continuous one. In Christ we have a full forgiveness, a joint stock business of mutual forgiveness wherein we forgiving one another even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven us. Do you tremble and shake for fear, and with a penitent heart desire forgiveness, then know that however sinful your life may have been up to now, there is forgiveness with God even for you, through Jesus Christ His Son, the Just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God.

You speak of unforgiveness having given place to the enemy, and of your desire to make peace where harm has been done on both sides. This desire is of God, for the remembrance of our own deliverance out of bondage is to make us merciful and kind. Yet take heed that you do not lay upon reconciliation a weight it cannot bear, as though by your own labor of peacemaking you could purchase deliverance from harassment. Deliverance from sin and from the power of darkness is solely by the power of God. It is not of him that wills, nor of him that runs, but of God that shows mercy. He brought them forth when the lamb was slain, and He alone brings forth His people still. The prisoner is ready to be executed, but there comes to him undeserved deliverance, for the King's own Son has borne the penalty. God has not only invented a way of deliverance, but He has found a ransom, and when God Himself proclaims, I have found a ransom, then is the deliverance certain.

Therefore look first to Christ. Confess before Him all sin, including your former path in the new age and any bitterness that has lingered, and receive anew His complete forgiveness. Then, forgiven much, you will be made able to forgive much, not in your own strength, but as one who has been freely pardoned.

Concerning your efforts to reconcile with those who have harassed you, walk with great wisdom and with counsel. It is right to seek peace where it is possible, and to own what is yours to own, but forgiveness does not always mean the immediate rebuilding of close fellowship, especially where there is continued evil behavior, deception by false teaching, or the influence of darkness that causes men to behave out of their ordinary way. To forgive from the heart before God is your calling at once, to restore trust and nearness is a matter that must be weighed with time, truth, and godly oversight. Do not be pressed beyond what Scripture requires by those who seem blind to the reality or who would put you under a spell of mere outward appearance. Public perception is not the measure of peace, the Lord looks upon the heart, and He would have all things done in honesty and holiness.

You wish for one who can understand the spiritual conflict you describe. You have named the very help the Lord has provided, your pastor and elders. I urge you to go to them quickly, open the whole matter to them, and walk no longer alone in what is nerve wracking and heavy. Let them pray over you, instruct you from the Word, help you discern when to speak, when to be silent, and how to set wise boundaries while you still love and pray for those who have harmed you. We have peace within our borders when we walk together under the Word, and you need that fellowship now.

Let us pray for you now.

O Lord our God, with whom there is forgiveness, look upon this Thy servant who has been long harassed and wearied. For Jesus sake blot out transgressions, and grant a sure sense of that full and eternal pardon which Thou givest. Thou who hast found a ransom, bring forth this soul from every pit and from every arrow of the enemy. Break the power of darkness, silence the accusations, and cover this life with the blood of the Lamb slain. Teach what it is to forgive even as Thou hast forgiven, and grant wisdom to do what is right and peaceable without being ensnared by men or by spirits. Give faithful pastors and elders to come alongside with clear eyes and true counsel, and let deliverance be attended with enrichment, with growing peace and strength in Christ. Keep this dear one from despair, and let that blessed whisper drive all fear away, There is forgiveness, there is deliverance in Jesus. Hear us for His name's sake. Amen.

Continue to seek the Lord in His Word, keep close to His people, and trust not in your own making of peace, but in Him who is our peace and our deliverance.

Thank you for sharing so openly about what you have carried for many years. It is understandable that this has felt heavy and nerve wracking, especially as you have come out of involvement in the new age and have begun to see how unforgiveness can give ground to the enemy.

Scripture teaches that we have all needed forgiveness, and that blessed are those whose sins are forgiven and covered. That forgiveness comes only through Jesus Christ, who Himself became our High Priest to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. When we mourn for our own sins and turn to Him, God does not only remove the punishment but gives abundant comfort and a clean conscience before Him. He has also put in us the word of reconciliation, so the desire you have to make peace where you can is good and reflects His work in you.

At the same time, forgiveness and reconciliation are not the same as immediately rebuilding close relationships, especially when harmful things have been done on both sides and when some of those people remain unsaved, deceived by false teaching, or still influenced by evil. Forgiveness is a matter of the heart before God, releasing the debt to Him and choosing gentleness as He has taught us. Reconciliation and restored trust, where possible, require repentance, truth, and time, and it is wise to walk through that process slowly and with godly counsel rather than under pressure from others. Even when others mean well, they may not see the spiritual realities you are facing.

It is wise that you are thinking of talking with your pastor and elders. Please do bring this to them soon, so you are not carrying it alone. They can know you personally, pray with you, help you discern what making peace should look like in each situation, help set healthy boundaries, and walk with you in ongoing prayer for deliverance and protection. Stay close to Christ through His Word, prayer, and fellowship, and turn fully away from any remaining new age practices or influences, asking the Lord to close every door that was opened to them.

We will pray for you.

Father in heaven, we thank You that salvation and forgiveness are found in Jesus Christ alone. We ask You to cover this dear one with the blood of Christ and to bring full forgiveness and cleansing for every sin. Comfort the heart that has mourned over sin and grant the peace that You promise to those who trust You. In the name of Jesus we ask You to end this long harassment and to shut every opening that the enemy has used, and to drive away every demonic influence. Grant wisdom and discernment about each relationship, showing what it means to forgive from the heart and what wise and safe steps toward peace should be. Protect from pressure and confusion, and give clarity to see what is true. Bring salvation where there is unbelief and deception, and guard this life from evil behavior. Give courage to seek help from a pastor and elders, and provide trusted, understanding counsel and prayer support. Lead into freedom, gentleness, and steady hope in Christ. Amen.
