Since I was a child, I have had spiritual warfare following me around which influences people to do things to me to try to push me toward unforgiveness. God recently exposed the presence of this warfare in my life to me and He has also showed me how to be delivered from it (by forgiving and not being bound in unforgiveness which I was bound in due to the warfare). Things are getting better but some problems still persist. The point of my prayer request is that for the past few years, a large group of people has been harassing me under the influence of this warfare. When God started delivering me from it, there was a noticeable shift in their behavior away from harassing me although sometimes they start again especially during times where I am being disobedient or I am physically weak. God also changed my heart to consider the possibility of allowing some of these people (who used to be in my life) back into it after forgiving them. However, I have never made any efforts to reconcile with them as I am not 100% sure God wants them in my life yet. The thing is (and this may be my flesh talking and possibly some unforgiveness), I like my life now the way it is - without them in it. I have a lot of questions about whether many of them could or even should fit into my life now. One person I know for certain that they should not be in my life anymore due to my relationship with them having been sinful. Please pray for me about this. Please also pray for me about some other struggles I'm having with this warfare which God knows. Thank you.

We hear your heart and the deep spiritual battle you’ve been enduring. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came that you might have life and have it abundantly (John 10:10). It is no small thing to recognize the warfare at work in your life and to choose forgiveness over bitterness—this is a victory already won in Christ. Yet we understand the lingering questions and the tension you feel about reconciliation, especially when past relationships were marked by sin or harm.
First, we must address the sinful relationship you mentioned. If this connection involved fornication, adultery, or any other violation of God’s design for intimacy within marriage, Scripture is clear: "Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body" (1 Corinthians 6:18). The Lord calls us to holiness, and some relationships must be left in the past, not out of unforgiveness, but out of obedience to Him. Forgiveness does not always mean reconciliation, especially when trust has been broken or when the relationship was built on sin. We rebuke the lie that you must restore every broken connection—sometimes God’s mercy is seen in the boundaries He helps us set.
For the others, we pray for wisdom. James 1:5 tells us, "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him." You are right to seek the Lord’s will rather than acting out of guilt or pressure. Reconciliation is a gift, but it requires both parties to walk in repentance and humility. If these individuals are unrepentant or still operating under the influence of the same spiritual forces that harmed you, their presence may bring more harm than healing. Proverbs 22:24-25 warns, "Don’t make friends with a hot-tempered man, and don’t associate with one who harasses, lest you learn his ways and ensnare your soul."
We also rebuke the spiritual warfare that persists. 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." The enemy wants you isolated, bitter, and distracted from God’s purpose for you. But you are not defenseless. Stand firm in the armor of God—truth, righteousness, the gospel of peace, faith, salvation, and the Word of God (Ephesians 6:13-17). When you feel weak or disobedient, that is when the enemy strikes hardest. But God’s strength is made perfect in your weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9). Do not let shame or fear keep you from running to Him.
We pray now for your complete deliverance and discernment:
Father God, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, the name above every name, the only name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). We lift up our brother/sister to You, who has been under relentless spiritual attack. Lord, You have already begun a good work in them, exposing the warfare and teaching them the power of forgiveness. We ask that You complete that work. Break every chain of bitterness, fear, and confusion. Fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7).
Give them clarity about the relationships in their life. Show them which connections are from You and which are not. Where there is repentance and a desire to walk in Your ways, bring healing and restoration. Where there is unrepentance or danger, give them the courage to set boundaries and walk away. Protect their heart from the lies of the enemy, who would have them believe that isolation is safer than Your will.
Lord, we rebuke the spirits of harassment, unforgiveness, and deception that have followed them. We declare that no weapon formed against them will prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Strengthen them in their weakness, and let them see Your hand at work even in the small victories. Surround them with godly community—believers who will stand with them in prayer and encouragement.
Father, we also pray for the other struggles they face, which You know intimately. Meet them in their weariness and renew their strength like the eagle’s (Isaiah 40:31). Let them hear Your voice clearly above all others. May they find their identity and security in You alone, not in the approval or absence of others.
We thank You, Lord, that You are a God who fights for Your children. We trust You to lead them into freedom, wisdom, and the abundant life You have promised. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
Continue to seek the Lord in His Word and in prayer. Psalm 32:8 says, "I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go. I will counsel you with my eye on you." You are not alone in this battle. The same God who exposed the warfare to you will guide you through it. Walk in obedience, stay in community with other believers, and do not grow weary in doing good (Galatians 6:9). The enemy may persist, but greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4).

Hey there,
We're really feeling your struggle and the spiritual battle you've been through. It's amazing how God has been revealing things to you and helping you find freedom through forgiveness. We're here to support you in prayer.
First off, we want to echo what was said earlier about the sinful relationship. If it involved sexual sin outside of marriage, then it's important to honor God's design for intimacy and holiness. Sometimes, God's mercy is seen in the boundaries He helps us set, even if it means not reconciling with certain people.
For the other relationships, we're praying for wisdom. James 1:5-6 tells us, "If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt..." We believe God will guide you in this.
We also want to encourage you to keep standing firm in God's armor (Ephesians 6:10-18). When you feel weak or disobedient, that's when the enemy often strikes hardest. But remember, God's strength is made perfect in your weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9).
Let's pray:
"Dear Lord, thank You for revealing the spiritual warfare in our friend's life and for helping them find freedom through forgiveness. We ask for complete deliverance and discernment. Help them to know which relationships to pursue and which boundaries to set. Give them wisdom, courage, and a deep sense of Your peace. Protect them from the enemy's lies and fill them with Your truth. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Keep seeking God in His Word and in prayer. You're not alone in this battle. God is with you every step of the way. Trust Him and keep walking in obedience.
Stay strong, and know that we're praying for you.
