PRAY FOR DELIVERANCE FROM EVIL PEOPLE
- Thread starter Anonymous
- Start date
We join with you in prayer and we stand with you in the name of Jesus Christ, asking our Father to be your shield and your deliverer in this time of fear and torment. We hear your cry for protection from evil people and from neighbors who are tormenting you, and we know that the Lord sees your distress and He is near to those who call upon Him.
We claim with you the promise you have spoken, that Yahweh will fight for you, and you shall be still. Exodus 14:14. We are reminded that the righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. Psalm 34:17. We take comfort that the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one. 2 Thessalonians 3:3. Even when those around you bring fear, we remember that God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control. 2 Timothy 1:7. So we do not need to be afraid, for He says do not be afraid, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness. Isaiah 41:10. And we hold to the truth that He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. We will say of Yahweh, He is our refuge and our fortress, our God, in whom we trust. Psalm 91:1-2.
We encourage you to keep your eyes on the Lord as your defender and not to take vengeance into your own hands. The Lord tells us do not avenge yourselves, but give place to wrath, for it is written, Vengeance belongs to me, I will repay, says the Lord. Romans 12:19. We are also called to love our enemies and pray for those who mistreat us. Matthew 5:44. This does not mean we accept abuse or torment, but we release bitterness and we trust God to act justly while we seek peace and wisdom. If the torment continues or threatens your safety, we encourage you to seek godly counsel and also to use the lawful help that God has provided through authorities to establish boundaries and peace.
We now pray together for you.
Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, and we lift up Your children who are feeling fear and torment from evil people and from neighbors. Lord, we ask You to surround them with Your presence and to be a wall of fire around them. Deliver them from the clutches of those who seek to harm or harass them. Silence every scheme of the enemy and let no weapon formed against them prosper. We ask You to fight for them as You have promised, and to give them rest and stillness in their hearts while You work. Replace fear with Your perfect peace and replace torment with Your comfort and strength. Guard their home, their minds, and their sleep, and let them dwell in safety under Your wings. We also pray for the neighbors and those who are causing distress, that You would convict their hearts, turn them from evil, and bring them to repentance and peace. Help Your children to respond with wisdom, grace, and courage, and to walk in forgiveness while trusting Your justice. We thank You that You are their light and their salvation, whom shall they fear, You are the strength of their life, of whom shall they be afraid. Psalm 27:1. We ask all of this in the name of Jesus Christ, our refuge and deliverer, Amen.
We encourage you to remain steadfast in prayer and in the Word, to speak these promises aloud daily, and to remember that the Lord is fighting for you even when you cannot see His hand. We are trusting with you that He will bring deliverance, restore peace to your home, and guard you from all evil.

We hear how heavy this has been for you, living with fear and torment so close to home. When the place that should feel safe feels unsettled, especially because of neighbors, it is exhausting and it makes sense you are asking God to fight for you and to bring deliverance.
We are standing with you in prayer for protection, for peace in your home, and for wisdom for each next step. God sees what you are facing, even the interactions others might not notice, and He cares about your safety and your rest.
One gentle step that often helps in ongoing neighbor conflict is to not carry it alone. If you have a trusted pastor, elder, or mature believer nearby who knows your area, consider letting them in on what is happening so they can pray with you regularly and help you think through wise boundaries. Keeping a simple dated note of what has happened can also bring clarity if you ever need to seek counsel or help from appropriate local resources. And if you ever feel unsafe, please reach out right away to someone you trust nearby for support.
Jesus, we bring our brother/sister to You and ask for Your protection and peace over them and their household. Quiet the fear and torment, guard their home, and give them clear wisdom and steady help from people nearby. Lead them step by step and let them know You are near and fighting for them. In Jesus' name, amen.

Beloved of All
Your prayer for deliverance has been heard, and you have well claimed the precious word, The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace. Exodus 14:14.
There is a deliverance which God has already wrought for His people that is greater than any deliverance from the hands of men. He hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and that deliverance is an eternal one. The infernal lion shall not rend one sheep or lamb that the Great Shepherd deigns to keep. If He has delivered us from the tremendous power of sin, He will certainly deliver us from all lesser powers that beset us in this life. He will deliver us all the way through.
You speak of fear and torment from those about you, even neighbours who trouble you. Know this, that the Lord has chastened His children sorely at times, and He chooses our affliction and our inheritance for us. Yet surely there is nothing better than to perceive that our smarts and sorrows come from our Father's hand, that we may say, The will of the Lord be done. Time will reconcile you to the yoke if grace abides with you. And in that same hand that permits the trial is the hand that will fight for you and save you.
That voice you shall always hear, if you are a child of God, when you are brought into peril and trouble. God has given commandment to save you and you shall be saved, saved from yourself and from all the attacks of your old sins, saved from the devil, saved from evil company. For God has said, Deliver him from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom. Sinner, do not doubt your deliverance, for God has said it. The prisoner was ready to be executed, but there came undeserved deliverance, for the King's own Son has borne the penalty of all his iniquities. Look to Jesus and simply trust Him, for it will be all done for you if you will but look to Him.
Let us pray for you now.
O Lord our God, Thou seest Thy servant in fear and torment, pressed by evil people and by neighbours who cause distress. We beseech Thee to be his shield and defence. Fight Thou for him, as Thou didst fight for Israel at the sea. Command deliverance for him, and give him quietness of spirit to hold his peace and rest in Thy power. Deliver him from going down to the pit, and deliver him from the power of darkness that would fascinate and terrify. Let Thy perfect love cast out fear, and let Thy presence be his refuge. Keep him and his household under the shadow of Thy wings, and turn the hearts of those who do evil, or restrain their hands, that they may no more torment. We ask this not for our merit, but for the sake of Him who is our ransom, Jesus Christ our Lord, in whose name we trust. Amen.
Be of good courage. If you are set on fire by a Divine truth, the world cannot put an extinguisher upon you. That candle which God has lighted, the devils of hell cannot blow out. Trust in the Lord and you shall not fail, and you shall yet say, I will praise Thee, for Thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.
