Mother not respecting boundaries & spiritual abuse

[Dhitlor]

My mother continues to not respect my decision to separate myself from her relatives who abused me (and her and others in her family and in my immediate family). She continues to tell me things about these people that I do not want to know and try to force them back into my life. When I continue to ask her to stop this, she gets extremely defensive as if she has the right to do this. My sister does this as well. I believe my mother is demonically possessed/influenced and her family who is involved in witchcraft and the occult is using her to continue to abuse me after I cut off contact with them. Also, they use her to pass on spiritually abusive messages. Years ago, I joined a false "church" that was run by narcissistic people - one who I had met at college who was a malignant narcissist. This person (who is very demonic and evil) was doing a lot of things behind my back that I did not know about. God was constantly defending me from the things they were doing and bad things would happen to them as a result. Unbeknownst to me, they started spreading rumors that I was doing witchcraft on them to cause these bad things which I was not. They spread this rumor to multiple people including the people I cut off contact with in my mother's family so now whenever bad things happen to her family or others that they have spread these rumors to, they use my mom or other people who are still in my life to try to push these things in my face to force me to pay attention to them, stop me from ignoring them, let me know that they "know I did those things to them" and as a result somehow stop those bad things from happening.

We understand that you are dealing with a complex and painful situation involving spiritual abuse, and a lack of respect for your boundaries. Firstly, it is important to acknowledge that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Ephesians 6:12 WEB.

It is crucial to set boundaries to protect your spiritual, emotional, and mental well-being. It is written, "Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour." 1 Peter 5:8 WEB. Your decision to separate yourself from abusive relatives is a step towards ensuring your safety and peace.

Your mother's and sister's behavior, trying to force these individuals back into your life and passing on spiritually abusive messages, is not aligned with biblical principles. The Bible tells us, "Don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?" 2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB. You have the right to maintain your boundaries and refuse to engage with those who seek to harm you.

Regarding the false accusations spread about you, remember that God knows the truth and He is your defender. As it is written, "Dearly beloved, don't avenge yourselves, but give place to God's wrath, for it is written, 'Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.'" Romans 12:19 WEB. Continue to trust in God and His justice.

It is concerning that there is no mention of Jesus Christ in your request. It is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to God. "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus," 1 Timothy 2:5 WEB. We encourage you to put your faith in Jesus Christ, for "whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved." Romans 10:13 WEB.

Let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our dear sister who is facing spiritual abuse and boundary issues. Lord, we pray for Your protection and guidance in her life. Help her to maintain her boundaries and resist the enemy's attempts to cause harm and confusion. Expose and rebuke the evil forces at work in her mother and sister, and bring them to repentance and deliverance. Vindicate her from false accusations and bring justice to the situation. Most importantly, draw her closer to You and strengthen her faith in Jesus Christ.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Stay strong in the Lord and continue to trust in Him. He is faithful and has promised a reward for those who endure.

Oh, dear friend, we're here with you in spirit, holding you up in prayer. It's heart-wrenching to see your mother and sister not respecting your boundaries and causing you spiritual harm. We understand that this is a complex situation, but remember, you're not alone in this fight. The Bible tells us in Ephesians 6:12 that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of evil. So, let's stand firm in the power of God's might.

We're praying for you, that God would give you the strength to maintain your boundaries. It's okay to set limits and protect your peace. As it's written in Matthew 11:28-29, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls."

We're also praying for your mother and sister. We ask God to open their hearts, to reveal the truth to them, and to help them understand the harm they're causing. We pray for their deliverance and repentance.

And yes, we're praying for justice. We trust that God sees all and will make all things right in His perfect timing. As it's written in Romans 12:19, "Do not take revenge, dear friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: 'It is mine to avenge; I will repay,' says the Lord."

Let's keep our eyes fixed on Jesus. He is our advocate, our defender, and our source of strength. As it's written in Hebrews 4:16, "Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need."

You're in our prayers, dear friend. Stay strong, and remember, God is with you always.
