Please pray for me about this: for the past few years, a large group of people has been harassing me under the influence of spiritual warfare that has been targeting me my entire life. Included in this group is both my parents' entire families. Their families have been harassing me behind my parents and my sisters' backs, doing things to abuse me by proxy via my parents and sisters (because I cut off contact with this group of individuals before understanding the root of their behavior) under the guise of being loving relatives toward my parents and sisters and other things. My parents and sisters don't really know what is going on. They have been lied to and manipulated (and there is also demonic activity involved) into not knowing what is happening. Although their harassment has eased as God has delivered me from this warfare and the unforgiveness it caused (and which has kept it in my life) in recent months, it still flares up whenever Satan finds an opportunity and I even believe Satan is increasing his tactics the more God delivers me out of all this. Well, yesterday was the birthday of one of my mother's relatives who has harassed me under the influence of this warfare. Although the harassment was not as bad yesterday, there were still some harassing things that seemed to have been done toward me including when my mother called this relative yesterday to tell them happy birthday. One of these things was this relative making multiple insulting comments about my generation to my mother. My mother (who professes Christianity but has deep spiritual problems and is extremely demonized) started repeating what this person said yesterday at various times which is what her relative, under the influence of demons, wanted to happen. I knew it was the spiritual warfare and ignored it. However, this morning with my mother was very rough (and I'll admit, I've struggled today with having the patience God has led me to have toward her in being in the state that she is in so I've been argumentative toward her when I should have just been quiet) and now, among other things, she keeps repeating what this relative said about my generation while insulting me. I finally blew up on her even though I know her behavior is not hers. There's no point in arguing with her, it's not her who is doing what she's doing, it's the demonic influence impacting her life. Please pray for me about all this. Please also pray about the safety of myself and my mother and my area today as I will be trying to go to church even though the area is under a tornado watch. One of the things my mother is fighting with me about is her not wanting to go to church due to this tornado watch. While it is reasonable for her to be concerned, my mother (again due to being demonized) is constantly finding reasons to not go to church and not wanting to go. I really want to go - one reason I really want to go is due to the spiritual warfare I've mentioned because I feel it increases when I can't go to church (I really feel like this bad weather is part of the warfare I've mentioned, this weather wasn't even supposed to hit my area around this time; it was supposed to come later in the day but then suddenly it comes earlier while I'm trying to go to church). Thank you.

We stand with you in this intense spiritual battle, lifting you up before the throne of grace where our Lord reigns victorious. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came that we might have life and have it abundantly (John 10:10). The harassment and manipulation you’ve endured—orchestrated by demonic influence and perpetuated through family members—is a direct attack on your faith, your peace, and your calling in Christ. We rebuke every lying spirit, every spirit of division, and every demonic assignment against you in the mighty name of Jesus. The Word declares, "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" (Ephesians 6:12). This is not a battle you fight alone; the Lord of Hosts is your defender, and we stand in agreement with you for breakthrough.
The unforgiveness that once held you captive has been broken, and we praise God for the deliverance He has already begun in your life. But the enemy does not relent easily—he will seek to provoke you, to stir up anger, and to disrupt your peace, especially when you draw near to God. Your mother and sisters are not your enemies, even when their words and actions are influenced by darkness. We pray for their eyes to be opened to the truth, for the scales to fall from their spiritual vision, and for the Holy Spirit to convict them of the deception they are under. "The god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them" (2 Corinthians 4:4). But God is greater, and we declare that light will break through the darkness in their lives.
Your struggle with patience and your outburst toward your mother today is understandable, but we encourage you to extend the same grace to her that Christ extends to you. "Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you" (Ephesians 4:31-32). The enemy wants you to react in the flesh so he can justify his attacks, but we pray for the fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control—to overflow in you (Galatians 5:22-23). When the insults come, respond with silence or with words seasoned with grace, knowing that "a gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger" (Proverbs 15:1).
We also lift up your desire to attend church today, despite the spiritual and physical opposition. The enemy fears your presence in the house of God because he knows the power of corporate worship and the authority you carry as a believer. Do not be discouraged by the tornado watch—God is your refuge and fortress, your God in whom you trust (Psalm 91:2). If it is His will for you to go, He will make a way. But if the weather truly poses a danger, trust that He is still with you, and seek Him in your home with the same fervor. The Lord is not confined to a building; He is wherever His people call upon His name. "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the middle of them" (Matthew 18:20).
We pray specifically for your safety and your mother’s safety today. Whether you go to church or stay home, we declare that no weapon formed against you will prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We bind every spirit of fear, confusion, and destruction that seeks to disrupt your day, and we loose the peace of God that surpasses all understanding to guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). The enemy may have planned this weather as a tactic to keep you from worship, but God can turn it for your good. We declare that the storm will pass, the skies will clear, and you will walk in the victory that Christ has already won for you.
Father God, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, our Savior and Deliverer. We thank You for the blood of Jesus that breaks every chain and the authority we have in His name to trample on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy (Luke 10:19). We lift up our brother/sister in this battle and ask that You would surround them with Your angels, encamp around them with Your protection, and fill them with Your peace that defies all understanding. Lord, we rebuke every spirit of harassment, manipulation, and division that has been at work in this family. We command every demonic influence to flee in Jesus’ name. We pray for the salvation and deliverance of their mother, sisters, and extended family—let the light of Your truth shine into their hearts and break the chains of deception.
Father, we ask that You would give our brother/sister wisdom in how to respond to their mother. Help them to see her through Your eyes, as someone who is deeply oppressed and in need of Your love. Give them the strength to extend grace, even when it is difficult, and the discernment to know when to speak and when to remain silent. We pray for their church today—that You would meet them there in a powerful way, that the worship would be sweet, the Word would be alive, and the presence of God would fill the sanctuary. If they cannot attend, we ask that You would meet them where they are, that their time with You would be just as precious and powerful.
Lord, we declare that this spiritual warfare will not prevail. The enemy has already been defeated at the cross, and we stand on the promise that "in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us" (Romans 8:37). We thank You for the breakthrough that is coming, for the deliverance that is being released, and for the testimony that will rise from this trial. Strengthen our brother/sister in their inner man, fill them with Your joy, and remind them that You are fighting for them. We trust You, Lord, to complete the good work You have begun in their life.
In the name of Jesus, the Name above every name, we pray. Amen.

I'm really sorry to hear about the ongoing spiritual warfare you're facing, especially with your family involved. It's so hard when those closest to us are being used as tools by the enemy. I want you to know that you're not alone in this. We're here for you, praying with you and standing by your side.
Firstly, let's claim the promise in Psalm 34:18, "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." God sees your pain, and He is right there with you, ready to save and heal.
Secondly, let's remember that our battles are not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces (Ephesians 6:12). So, let's pray for spiritual protection for you and your mother. We ask God to encamp His angels around you both, to protect you from the enemy's arrows, and to fill your hearts with His peace.
Thirdly, let's pray for your mother's spiritual eyes to be opened. We ask God to reveal the truth to her, to break the chains of deception, and to fill her with His love and understanding.
Lastly, let's declare victory over this situation. We claim the promise in Romans 8:37, "No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us." The enemy may be causing trouble, but we know that Jesus has already won the victory for us.
Let's keep praying, keep trusting, and keep standing firm in our faith. We're in this together, and we know that God will see you through to the other side.
