We grieve with you over the deep spiritual and emotional warfare you and your family have endured, and we stand firmly against the forces of darkness at work in this situation. The deception you describe—where wickedness masquerades as kindness—is a tactic as old as the serpent in the Garden, and we must confront it with the truth of God’s Word and the authority of Jesus Christ. The Bible warns us that even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14), and we see this play out in the lives of those who claim one thing outwardly while harboring envy, manipulation, and occult practices in secret.
The harassment, stalking, and witchcraft you mention are not merely human conflicts but spiritual battles. Ephesians 6:12 reminds 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."* Your family’s involvement in the occult—whether through astrology, Freemasonry, or other New Age practices—opens doors to demonic influence, and this must be broken in the name of Jesus. There is no middle ground with God; either we serve Him wholeheartedly or we align ourselves, knowingly or unknowingly, with the enemy. The Lord commands in Deuteronomy 18:10-12, *"There shall not be found with you anyone who makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who practices sorcery, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer, or a charmer, or a consulter with a familiar spirit, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For whoever does these things is an abomination to Yahweh."*
We must also address the fact that your prayer request did not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, through whom alone we have access to the Father and authority over the enemy. Jesus Himself declared, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me"* (John 14:6). It is only by His name that we can bind the works of darkness and command demonic forces to flee. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Christ or if you are unsure of your salvation, we urge you to do so now. Romans 10:9-10 says, *"that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."* There is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved or find victory over the enemy (Acts 4:12).
Now, let us pray with boldness and authority over this situation:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who has all authority in heaven and on earth. We lift up our brother/sister who has been under relentless attack from the enemy through the deception and witchcraft of their extended family. Lord, You see the hidden things—the hearts that plot evil under the guise of kindness, the tongues that spew curses while smiling, and the spiritual forces that empower their wickedness. We ask You to expose every hidden work of darkness, to bring to light the deeds done in secret, and to frustrate the plans of the enemy against this child of Yours.
We bind, in the name of Jesus, every demonic spirit at work in this situation—spirits of witchcraft, divination, manipulation, envy, deception, and harassment. We command these spirits to be silenced, bound, and cast into the abyss, never to return. We break every curse, hex, spell, or assignment of the enemy against our brother/sister and their immediate family. Let the blood of Jesus Christ cover them, protect them, and render every weapon of the enemy powerless. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and we ask You, Lord, to place a hedge of protection around them that the enemy cannot penetrate.
Father, we pray for the salvation of those in their family who are entangled in the occult and in rebellion against You. Softens their hearts, Lord, and open their eyes to the truth. Let them see the destruction they are bringing upon themselves and their loved ones. Convict them of their sin and draw them to repentance, that they may turn from their wicked ways and seek Your forgiveness. If they refuse to repent, we ask that You remove their influence and cut off their ability to harm Your child. Do not let them succeed in their evil schemes, but turn their plots back upon their own heads (Psalm 7:16).
We also pray for wisdom and discernment for our brother/sister and their immediate family. Give them eyes to see and ears to hear the schemes of the enemy, that they may not be deceived by false kindness or manipulated by evil tongues. Strengthen them, Lord, in their faith and in their resolve to stand firm against the enemy’s attacks. Fill them with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, and let them rest in the knowledge that You are their protector and defender.
Father, we ask that You would bring justice in this situation. You are a God of justice, and You will not allow the wicked to go unpunished forever. We trust in Your timing and Your ways, knowing that You will vindicate Your children. Let those who have harassed, stalked, and cursed our brother/sister be held accountable for their actions. Turn their evil back upon themselves, Lord, and let them reap what they have sown (Galatians 6:7).
Finally, we pray for healing and restoration for our brother/sister. Heal the wounds inflicted by betrayal, manipulation, and spiritual attack. Restore their trust in You and in Your goodness. Let them walk in the freedom and victory that Christ has already won for them on the cross. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may be empowered to stand firm in this battle and to walk in the authority You have given them as Your child.
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers and for Your faithfulness to act on behalf of Your children. We trust in Your power, Your love, and Your justice. In the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

We want to encourage you to stand firm in your faith and to continue seeking the Lord’s protection and guidance. The enemy fears those who walk in the authority of Christ, and your awareness of these spiritual attacks is a sign that God is exposing the enemy’s schemes to you. Do not be afraid, for *"greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world"* (1 John 4:4). Cling to the Lord, immerse yourself in His Word, and surround yourself with believers who can stand with you in prayer.
We also urge you to examine your own heart and your family’s alignment with God’s Word. If there has been any participation in or agreement with the occult—even passively—it is critical to renounce it and break those ties in the name of Jesus. This includes any objects, practices, or relationships that connect you to these dark forces. Acts 19:18-19 shows us the example of new believers who *"many of those who practiced magical arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all. They counted the price of them, and found it to be fifty thousand pieces of silver. So the word of the Lord was growing and becoming mighty."*
If you have not already, we strongly recommend seeking out a spiritually mature, Bible-believing pastor or counselor who can help you navigate this battle and provide additional support. You do not have to face this alone—the body of Christ is called to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2).
Lastly, we leave you with the promise of Psalm 91, which we declare over you:
*"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of Yahweh, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.’ For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge. His faithfulness is your shield and rampart. You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day; nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that wastes at noonday. A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you. Only with your eyes will you watch, and see the reward of the wicked. Because you have made Yahweh your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place, no evil shall happen to you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling."* Stand on this promise, and let it be your confidence in the days ahead. The Lord is with you, and He will never leave you nor forsake you.
