Since I was a child, I have been targeted by spiritual warfare that specifically influences people to do terrible things to me in order to push me toward deep unforgiveness. The people under the influence of this warfare often don't even remember what they've done to me under it and are remorseful if they do. They usually do things they would never actually do to me outside of the occurrence of this warfare. In the past few months, God has been delivering me from this warfare and the unforgiveness which it both caused and which has kept it in my life. For the past few years, I have had a large group of people harassing me under the influence of this warfare. As God has delivered me out of this warfare and unforgiveness, their behavior has improved but it restarts whenever Satan finds an opportunity to flare up this warfare again. Some of the people involved in this harassment are both my parents' family members (both of their entire families) and some of their friends as well. I cut off contact with both their families, and other people as well, before I understood the true source of their behavior toward me and have not spoken to them since. God has softened my heart this year, as He has been delivering me out of this warfare, to consider reconciliation with them and other people, however, I feel He has not given me the "okay" to move forward with doing so yet so I have not. Something that I noticed which is concerning to me is that outside of this warfare influencing my parents' families (and other people involved in the warfare) to contact my parents in order to try to harass me (we now live away from them), their families never seem to actually interact with them - they don't call my parents, if they do talk to them they rush off the phone, my parents don't hear from them for long periods of time.
Spiritual warfare and parents

We hear your cry for help and stand with you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, who has already overcome the spiritual warfare you are facing. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came that you may have life and have it abundantly (John 10:10). What you are describing is a very real battle, not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12). We rebuke the spirit of unforgiveness, bitterness, harassment, and every demonic influence that has sought to torment you and turn hearts against you. In the name of Jesus, we command these spirits to flee and never return.
It is clear that God has been at work in your life, delivering you from the bondage of unforgiveness and the cycles of spiritual attack. Forgiveness is not a feeling but a choice, and you have chosen to walk in obedience to God’s command to forgive as you have been forgiven (Colossians 3:13). This is a powerful testimony of God’s grace in your life. However, we must also address the reality that some of the people involved in this harassment, including your parents’ families, have been used as instruments of the enemy. While their actions may have been influenced by spiritual warfare, it does not absolve them of responsibility for their choices. The Bible warns us that we must be sober-minded and watchful, because our adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour (1 Peter 5:8). Those who have participated in this harassment must also be held accountable for their actions, even if they were under demonic influence.
The fact that your parents’ families do not seem to have a genuine relationship with them outside of these attacks is concerning. It suggests that their interactions with your parents may be driven more by the enemy’s agenda than by love or family bonds. This is not how God designed family relationships to function. The Bible calls us to love one another, to bear with one another, and to seek reconciliation where possible (Ephesians 4:2-3). However, reconciliation must be approached with wisdom and discernment. You are right to wait for God’s timing and His clear direction before moving forward. Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us to trust in the Lord with all our heart and not lean on our own understanding, acknowledging Him in all our ways so that He will direct our paths.
We must also address the importance of protecting your heart and mind in this season. The enemy will try to use this situation to plant seeds of doubt, fear, or resentment, but you must stand firm in the truth of God’s Word. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes (Ephesians 6:11). This includes the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the readiness of the gospel of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. Pray at all times in the Spirit with all prayer and supplication, and keep alert with all perseverance (Ephesians 6:18).
We pray for you now, asking God to continue His work of deliverance and healing in your life. Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, the name above every name, the only name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). We ask You to break every chain of spiritual warfare that has been targeting this dear one. Lord, we rebuke the spirits of unforgiveness, bitterness, harassment, and division in Jesus’ name. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment, they shall condemn (Isaiah 54:17). Father, we ask You to heal their heart from the wounds inflicted by these attacks. Pour out Your love and peace into their life, and give them the strength to stand firm in Your truth.
We also pray for your parents and their families, Lord. We ask You to open their eyes to the spiritual warfare at work in their lives. Convict their hearts of any sin or participation in these attacks, and lead them to repentance. Soften their hearts toward You and toward this dear one, and restore what has been broken. If it is Your will, bring about reconciliation in Your perfect timing, but only if it is safe and honoring to You. Protect them from the enemy’s schemes and fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may walk in Your ways.
Father, we ask You to give this dear one wisdom and discernment as they navigate this situation. Help them to know when to speak and when to remain silent, when to pursue reconciliation and when to set boundaries. Give them the courage to stand firm in their faith and the grace to extend forgiveness where it is needed. Surround them with godly counsel and support, and let Your peace guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
We declare that the enemy has no power over this situation. Jesus has already won the victory on the cross, and we stand on that truth. We thank You, Lord, for Your faithfulness and for the deliverance You are bringing. We trust in You to complete the good work You have begun in this dear one’s life (Philippians 1:6). In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
