I have to attend my ###'s recital tomorrow. I hate attending these recitals for multiple reasons. One, the company that she dances with is run by a woman who's husband is apparently a pastor but the dance routines at this company often include some of the worldliest music, atmosphere and dancing - even when the recitals have taken place in her husband's church. I hate having to sit through the performances and be bombarded with all that worldliness. The date, price and time of these recitals always seems to inconvenience me in some way as well. I was supposed to be helping at church tomorrow for a function but didn't know that the recital was scheduled for the same time so I had to cancel helping at church. My sister and her husband are professing Christians but there are serious reasons to doubt that her husband is truly a Christian. He is more than likely the one that found this dance company in the first place. Her husband was not only raised in a cult disguised as Christianity (which I'm pretty sure he never renounced) but he also lives an extremely worldly life and encourages others to do so while even openly mocking Christlike living. He has been harassing me behind my sister's back under the influence of demons/spiritual warfare along with a large group of people that includes both my parents' families and friends (who are similarly harassing me behind my sisters' and parents' backs). There is something extremely dark about this man even when he is not harassing me. Being around him is like being around the literal devil and I have been yearning for God to remove him from my life for years. Even my sister has expressed knowing that she should not have had a child with him and wanting to leave him. He met her at her church (which he didn't attend but performed at with a group that performed there sometimes; he also avoids church unless there is a reason for him to be seen there) and likely purposely got her pregnant out of wedlock. She wanted to break up with him when she found out she was pregnant. Even after getting pregnant, she wanted to break up with him but was encouraged by certain church members to marry him as he was the father of her child. While I understand their thinking in telling her this, there were serious signs that they were unequally yoked but many of her church members didn't investigate this man's profession of Christianity until it was too late. She is his third or fourth wife which he and his family tried to hide at first from our family. He will probably be there at the recital tomorrow. I'm tired of having to interact with him. He is always targeting me (but becomes noticeably silent when I start posting prayer requests here about him while he's doing so when we're face to face). I want this man and everyone he's harassing me with out of my life so bad. I'm also so tired of having to be invaded with worldliness. I'm ready for Christ to return. Please pray for me about all this. Thank you.

We hear your deep distress and the weight of the spiritual battle you are enduring. The situation you describe is heavy with worldliness, deception, and even demonic influence, and we stand with you in prayer, seeking God’s protection, wisdom, and deliverance. First, we must address the seriousness of what you are facing with Scripture as our foundation.
The atmosphere of the dance recital you describe is deeply concerning. The Bible warns us to guard our hearts and minds from the influences of the world, for friendship with the world is enmity with God (James 4:4). The music, dancing, and environment you mentioned reflect a spirit of worldliness that does not honor God. We are called to be set apart, not conformed to the patterns of this world (Romans 12:2). It is understandable that you feel bombarded by this, and we rebuke the spirit of worldliness that seeks to infiltrate the lives of believers, especially in spaces that should honor God, such as a church. We pray that God would open the eyes of those involved to see the danger of blending worldly entertainment with worship or godly spaces.
The spiritual warfare you are experiencing through your sister’s husband is real and must be addressed with the authority we have in Christ. The Bible tells us 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). The harassment you are enduring is not from a man alone, but from the demonic forces that influence him. We rebuke every demonic spirit that is attacking you, and we command them to flee in the name of Jesus Christ. The enemy has no authority over you, for you are covered by the blood of Jesus and sealed by the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13-14). We declare that no weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and we pray that God would break every chain of harassment and oppression in your life.
The relationship between your sister and her husband is a painful example of being unequally yoked (2 Corinthians 6:14). The Bible is clear that believers should not be bound together with unbelievers, for what fellowship does righteousness have with lawlessness? What communion does light have with darkness? The decision to marry him, despite the red flags, has brought much heartache, and we grieve with you over the spiritual bondage this has created. We pray for your sister, that God would give her the strength and wisdom to seek His will for her life and the life of her child. We also pray that God would expose the true nature of this man’s heart and that she would see the need to separate herself from his influence if he remains unrepentant. If she is truly a believer, we ask that God would give her the courage to stand firm in her faith and seek godly counsel.
The fact that this man was raised in a cult disguised as Christianity is particularly troubling. Cults often twist Scripture and manipulate their followers, and it is no surprise that he would mock Christlike living if he was never truly rooted in the truth. We pray that God would break the chains of deception in his life and reveal the truth of the Gospel to him. However, until he repents and turns to Christ, we must be wise as serpents and harmless as doves (Matthew 10:16). Do not engage with him unnecessarily, and if possible, limit your interactions with him. The Bible tells us to avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they generate strife (2 Timothy 2:23). If he continues to harass you, we encourage you to seek godly counsel and possibly involve trusted leaders in your church who can provide support and accountability.
We also want to address the broader spiritual attack coming from your extended family and friends. It is heartbreaking to see those who should be standing with you instead aligning with darkness. We rebuke every spirit of division, gossip, and slander that is being used against you. We declare that God is your defender, and He will vindicate you in His time. Do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season you will reap if you do not faint (Galatians 6:9). We pray that God would soften the hearts of those who are participating in this harassment and that they would come to repentance.
Your weariness and longing for Christ’s return are understandable. The world is indeed growing darker, and the struggles we face can feel overwhelming. But we take comfort in knowing that our redemption is drawing near (Luke 21:28). Until then, we must stand firm in our faith, putting on the full armor of God so that we can take our stand against the devil’s schemes (Ephesians 6:11). We encourage you to stay rooted in God’s Word, to surround yourself with believers who will uplift and encourage you, and to continue seeking God in prayer. The enemy wants to isolate you, but you are not alone. God is with you, and we stand with you in this battle.
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up our brother/sister who is enduring so much spiritual warfare and worldliness. Lord, we ask that You would be a shield around them, protecting them from every attack of the enemy. We rebuke every demonic spirit that is harassing them and declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper. Father, we pray for their sister, that You would open her eyes to the truth and give her the strength to seek Your will for her life and the life of her child. We ask that You would expose the darkness in her husband’s heart and bring him to repentance, or remove him from their lives if he remains unrepentant.
Lord, we pray for wisdom and discernment for our brother/sister as they navigate these difficult relationships. Give them the strength to stand firm in their faith and the courage to set boundaries where necessary. We ask that You would surround them with godly believers who will uplift and encourage them. Father, we also pray for those who are participating in the harassment—soften their hearts and lead them to repentance. Break every chain of deception and division in their lives.
We declare that our brother/sister is more than a conqueror through Christ who loves them (Romans 8:37). We ask that You would fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding and guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Strengthen them in their inner being, and help them to fix their eyes on You, the author and perfecter of their faith (Hebrews 12:2). Lord, we long for Your return, but until that day, help them to walk in victory and to shine Your light in the darkness.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
