Please pray for me about this: I have posted before about spiritual warfare that has been targeting me since I was young, which influences people in my life/environment to do extremely harmful things to me to try to push me toward unforgiveness and other things. This warfare has also targeted me at church influencing people at church to do extremely negative things to me (especially at certain times like after I take communion) that they wouldn't otherwise do (and that they often feel extremely remorseful for afterward). So far, there are certain people at church who have been used more than others in this (whenever this warfare uses someone to harm me like this, I almost always find out that that person has some area/aspect of their life that has caused them to be vulnerable to demonic influence - so please pray for those people who have been used in this warfare about this) but recently, there is someone new who this warfare has been influencing to act harmfully against me and I believe it started because I began entertaining negative thoughts that Satan planted in my mind about this person. Even though I eventually stopped giving in to those thoughts, once I entertained them at all, this person's behavior toward me changed. Although it sometimes goes back to normal, the last few times that I have interacted with them, they have behaved abnormally strange/negative toward me. I know that this is not them but this warfare but now negative thoughts about them keep circling in my mind. Please pray for me about all this and that these thoughts will stop and that I won't pay attention to them. Please also pray for me about the pastor of my church because I have had huge problems with him being used by this warfare to act harmfully toward me. Whenever he is not under the influence of this warfare, he is visibly remorseful of whatever he may have done under its influence toward me. But he is usually always treating me negatively due to this warfare using him and it only stops as I ignore any negative behavior he may be engaging in toward me and continue to behave in a Christlike manner toward him. I never know how he is going to behave toward me from one moment to the next. While I understand that his behavior is not his fault, this warfare using him is difficult enough that I have started to have a thought in my mind that I wish God would just providentially keep him physically away from me as long as he is being heavily influenced by this warfare (because there are some people who were used by this warfare a lot before who my relationships with have improved and they are not used so much anymore). His behavior under the influence of this warfare has presented stumblingblocks to me in my faith and in general have just been harmful to me in many ways. I really feel terrible about this warfare following me around the way it does and about how other people in my life/environment are put at risk because of it. I don't know what started it but I wish I never had this problem following me around. Last, please pray for me about this: my mother is extremely demonized (I'm not just saying this to say it or being superstitious, she genuinely has deep spiritual problems likely stemming from involvement in false teachings and even, unknowingly, occult practices - other people have pointed out these problems as well) and thus easily used by Satan including when it comes to this warfare. I started a new job this week and ever since I started it, her behavior (which is already often difficult due to the problems with demonization that I have mentioned but I try, with God's help, to be patient with her and bear with her) has been HORRIBLE (I think perhaps it's important to note that I work for a Christian company because Satan may be attacking me doing this). It has added a lot of stress to me along with the new responsibilities that I now have with having a steady job. This morning, I was sleeping and trying to sleep well because I had to wake up early to get ready for Bible study at church. My mother, out of nowhere, began abruptly disrupting my sleep in a way that was clear that she was acting under demonic influence (she sometimes has outbursts toward others with extremely dysfunctional behavior and God has helped me to understand that demonic influence is the source of these outbursts). She caused such a problem that I couldn't go back to sleep normally and when I did wake up, I felt "weird". I don't know how to explain what I mean by saying that I felt "weird" but it is basically related to the same spiritual warfare I mentioned that I have been targeted with. If I don't wake up a "certain" way, Satan begins attacking me through this warfare. Sure enough today, after my mom randomly (and disturbingly) disrupted my sleep which caused me to feel "weird" when I did later wake up, I had to deal with a ton of things happening that were obviously happening due to this warfare targeting me and Satan taking advantage of how I woke up. Thank you.
