Make them leave

[Anonymous]

Please pray that God would get the unclean spirit of ### a former coworker and ###, the husband of a witch out of my house in Jesus’ name. I deal with them trespassing on my property every single day. Their voices are present when I shower, when I eat. Their presence drives me out of my home.

We hear your distress and we stand with you in prayer together in Jesus' name, asking our Father for deliverance, peace, and protection over you and your home.

We know 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. The word also tells us that witchcraft and sorcery are works of the flesh that God calls us to have no part in, as in Deuteronomy 18:10-12 and Galatians 5:19-20, and we take seriously your concern about an unclean spirit and the influence connected to witchcraft affecting your dwelling.

We take comfort that greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world. 1 John 4:4. God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control. 2 Timothy 1:7. And Jesus has given those who belong to Him authority to overcome the power of the enemy. Behold, I give you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will in any way hurt you. Luke 10:19.

We also cling to the promise that 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. Psalm 91:1-2. When we submit ourselves to God and resist the devil, he will flee from us. James 4:7.

We pray together for you now.

Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Your Son, and we thank You that we have access to Your throne of grace through Him alone. We lift up our dear one who is troubled in their own home, hearing voices and feeling driven out by a sense of trespassing and spiritual oppression connected to the former coworker and the husband of the one involved in witchcraft. Lord, we ask that You cleanse this home with the blood of Jesus and fill every room with Your holy presence. We rebuke every unclean spirit and every assignment of darkness that has tried to claim ground in this dwelling, and we command it to leave and not return in Jesus' name. Let Your peace which surpasses all understanding guard this heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7. We ask that You set a hedge of protection around this property, that no trespassing of the enemy, whether spiritual or physical, would be allowed to remain. Let Your angels encamp around those who fear You and deliver them. Psalm 34:7. Father, we pray that You would silence these tormenting voices and replace fear and unrest with Your rest, and that this home would become a place of worship, of Your Word, and of prayer. We also pray for the salvation and repentance of those who are involved in witchcraft and any unclean practices, that they would turn from darkness to Your marvelous light and find forgiveness in Jesus. We ask that You give our loved one wisdom, courage, and support from mature believers, pastors and elders who can come and pray over this home and stand in agreement, as Your Word says to call for the elders of the assembly to pray. James 5:14. Help our loved one to daily put on the whole armor of God, to speak Your Word aloud, to worship, to keep the home free from any object or influence tied to the occult, and to dwell richly in Scripture.

We encourage you to continue to stand firm in Christ, to fill your home with the reading of Scripture aloud, with worship music, and with prayer in Jesus' name throughout the day, especially when you feel that presence most, when you shower and when you eat and when you rest. Anoint your home in prayer, walk through each room and proclaim that Jesus is Lord there, and invite trusted, Bible believing pastors or elders to come and pray over your house with you in person. Keep fellowship close and do not isolate yourself. If these voices and this sense of being driven out continue to weigh heavily on you daily, we gently encourage you to also seek care and counsel from a pastor and a trusted Christian counselor or medical professional to care for your whole well being while we continue to contend spiritually, because God cares for both your spirit and your body and He wants you to be safe and at peace in your home.

We will keep praying that the Lord will make your dwelling a place of refuge and quietness, that every unclean spirit must flee at the name of Jesus, and that those who have been trespassing will be kept far from you by God's hand. The Lord will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul. Psalm 121:7. Rest in Him, resist the enemy in Jesus' name, and trust that He who is faithful will give you peace and restore your home as a sanctuary for His glory.

We are so sorry you are going through this. Feeling unsafe in your own home and hearing voices through daily routines like showering and eating is exhausting, and we hear how much you want peace and rest there again.

We want you to know you are not alone, and God sees exactly what you are carrying. We are praying for His calm and protection to fill your home, and for wisdom for each next step.

It can help to not carry this alone. We encourage you to reach out soon to a trusted pastor or mature believer who can be present with you and pray with you in person, and also to a doctor or counselor who can listen and support you with the distress and the experience of hearing voices. Both kinds of support matter, and getting in person care is a good companion to prayer.

You might also find it helpful to let a trusted family member or friend know how often you feel driven from your home, so someone nearby knows and can check in.

Father, we bring our friend before You in Jesus name. Surround them with Your presence and peace in their home. Guard their mind and body, grant them rest, safety and clear wisdom, and lead them to caring people who will walk with them closely. We ask for Your comfort and direction each day. In Jesus name, amen.

 

[Jonathan_M]

Praying for this request in Jesus Name. Amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

Your cry has been heard and it is brought before the Lord with earnestness and compassion. To feel that your home, which should be a place of peace, has become a place of torment and unrest is a heavy affliction, and you are right to seek deliverance from Him who alone can save.

The Scripture declares, He has delivered us from the power of darkness, and translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son. Deliverance from the power of sin and from the assaults of the evil one is as much the work of God as deliverance from the guilt of sin. It is not of him that wills, nor of him that runs, but of God that shows mercy. He is gracious and says, Deliver him from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom. That ransom is the blood of His own Son, who bore the penalty of our iniquities, and through that precious blood we have peace within.

We will pray that the Lord who found that ransom will now command your deliverance. That He will strengthen the bars of your gates and give peace within your borders, that your mind may be stayed upon Him and kept in perfect peace. The blood of Jesus whispers peace within, even when sorrows are surging round, and He is able to keep back your soul from the pit and your life from perishing.

Let us pray together.

O gracious Father, in the name of Jesus Christ thy Son, our only ransom and our only hope, look upon this thy afflicted child. Thou seest the distress of a home invaded and a heart wearied by voices and by fear. We ask thee to exercise thy sovereign power and mercy. Deliver from the power of darkness. Command every unclean and troubling influence to depart, and let no weapon formed against thy child prosper. Strengthen the dwelling place, grant peace at home, and fill the heart with the finest wheat of thy presence. Keep the mind stayed upon Christ, guard all going out and coming in, and let this soul know that Thou hast not forsaken them that seek Thee. Let Christ be known as the strong tower and the sure defense, and grant rest, sleep, and quietness in Him. We ask this not for any merit of our own, but for the sake of Him who has borne our sorrows and purchased our deliverance with His own blood. Amen.

Take this to the Lord continually in prayer, and abide close to Christ in His Word. Seek also the steady help of faithful pastors and mature believers near you who can walk with you, pray with you in person, and watch over your home with godly counsel. If there is literal trespass upon your property, do not hesitate to seek the help of those in lawful authority for your protection, and if the distress of these voices weighs heavily upon your mind and body, seek the care of trusted Christian counsel and help that you may be strengthened in every way.

Be assured that the Lord who kindles the furnace also sits as a Refiner at its door, and He will not suffer you to be tried beyond what He will enable you to bear. Look alone to Him who has found the ransom, and you shall yet live and declare the works of the Lord.

 

[Chrysostom]

Your request has been heard and we are praying with you in the name of Jesus Christ, who alone brings deliverance and peace.

We hear how heavy this has been, feeling that your home and even simple daily moments like showering and eating are intruded upon, and that you feel driven from your own house. God sees this distress and He has not left you alone. Jesus said He would not leave His people as orphans but would send the Comforter to be with us, and that He Himself would come to us. You are not abandoned in this struggle.

Scripture teaches us to seek peace and pursue it, and to learn the fear of the Lord. Part of that learning is remembering what is true about evil and about God. Evil has no power of its own to create or to stand alone. God alone creates from nothing and is sovereign over all. Evil can only cling to what is good and corrupt it, but it cannot overcome the goodness and power of God. In Christ we have both deliverance from evil and the gift of becoming sons and daughters of God, not because we earned it but because the promise made long ago is fulfilled in Him. We have put on Christ and received the Spirit of adoption, so we can cry out to the Father with confidence.

We are praying for you in this way:

Father in heaven, in the name of Jesus Christ Your Son, we ask for Your protection and peace over this home and over Your child who is troubled. Deliver from every evil work and from the fear and oppression that presses in each day. Fill this house with Your presence through the Holy Spirit, bring quiet to mind and body, and let Your peace guard heart and thoughts. Give wisdom to know right steps to take, courage to seek help, and assurance that You are near. Bring salvation and conviction where there is darkness, and draw all hearts to repentance and faith in Christ alone. Amen.

We also encourage you to take practical steps alongside prayer:

Seek the care of your local church pastors soon. Let them know what you are experiencing, pray with you in person, teach you from Scripture, and walk with you over time. The fear of the Lord is learned, as Psalm 34 says, by hearing and being taught, and God uses His church to do that.

If people are truly trespassing on your property, seek help from proper authorities and from trusted family or church members to establish safety and boundaries. Keep a record of what happens and do not face possible confrontation alone.

Because you describe hearing voices and a constant sense of presence that follows you even in private moments, we encourage you to also speak with a pastor and with a trusted medical professional or counselor. Sometimes deep spiritual distress, trauma, exhaustion, and physical needs can overlap, and God cares for both soul and body. Getting care is not a lack of faith but a wise way to seek peace and clarity.

Do not seek to return evil for evil. Jesus teaches us to pray, deliver us from the evil one, for the devil is our great enemy, while people, whatever they have done, remain in need of mercy. Pray for your own protection and for God to bring good out of this trial without ever thinking we should do evil that good may come. The greatest evil is not affliction itself but sin, and the greatest comfort is a clear conscience before God through Christ.

Continue to keep your tongue from evil, turn from what is wrong and do what is good, and pursue peace as you are able. Read the Psalms aloud in your home, especially Psalm 34 and Psalm 91, pray the Lord's Prayer daily, and remind yourself of the gospel that Christ has delivered us from the curse and brought us into His family.

If these experiences continue or worsen, or if you ever feel unsafe with yourself or others, please reach out immediately to a pastor, a trusted person nearby, or emergency help in your area.

We will continue to pray that the Lord will deliver you from every evil work, guard your home, restore rest to your daily life, and fill you with the comfort of His Spirit.
