Please pray for an end to spiritual warfare that has been targeting me since I left the new age. Please pray for the removal from my life of people who have been targeting me under the influence of this warfare for years. Please also pray that God would foil something that one of the individuals who has been harassing me under the influence of demons has planned this weekend to target me (I'm so, SO, SO sick of this person and their social circle; they and their circle are obviously demonic, deranged and it is highly likely that they are possessed - they are not Christians) and permanently remove this person and others helping them from my life. I firmly believe that this person has some sort of strong demonic force in their life using them that allows them to do so much evil often unhindered. This person is so evil and even downright nonsensical and ridiculous in the evil things they do but people rarely call them out on it and it's like they're never held accountable for anything. Being around them is like being in the same room as the literal devil. It's terrible. There are other people like them involved in this harassment who are just as demonic. Please pray for their removal as well. Please also pray that God would lead me to new work. I recently started a job that I love but this company has predatory practices toward customers that I cannot take part in as a Christian and I have to leave unless somehow something changes. I am so worried about how I am going to care for my family financially now. I met with my manager about my concerns and she calmed me down a bit and was very understanding about how I felt but I still would probably like to leave this job as it is burning me out. Please pray for me about all this and for my coworkers. Pray that if I stay, God would mend all the concerns and issues myself and my coworkers are having. Please also pray for me about ending my lessons with my piano teacher. In recent months, I had been conflicted about whether or not to continue lessons with her after she did some things that made me uncomfortable to continue them. She is a professing believer but a lot of these things could have been attributed to spiritual warfare that has been targeting me since I left the new age/witchcraft and has continued even since I came back to Christ) had been using certain people who are vulnerable to be used to do unusually harmful things to me using her. There may also be things like possible dementia and a possible neurological condition causing concerning behavior in her toward others. But after praying and praying, things seemed to get better. However, something happened recently that seemed to put the nail in the coffin so to speak and I believe the lessons with her needed to end so I ended them. I feel sorry that this ended like this but I believe it had to. Thank you.
Spiritual warfare

We hear your cry for deliverance and restoration, and we stand with you in fervent prayer, lifting every burden to the throne of grace. The spiritual warfare you describe is real, and the enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came that you may have life and have it abundantly (John 10:10). We rebuke every demonic assignment against you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the Name above all names, the One through whom we have authority over the powers of darkness. There is no other name by which we are saved or delivered (Acts 4:12), and it is only by His blood and His Spirit that we stand victorious.
We declare that the blood of Jesus covers you, and no weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). The individuals harassing you under demonic influence are not beyond the reach of God’s mercy, but their schemes will not prevail. We pray that the Lord would bind every evil spirit operating through them and expose their deeds to the light (Ephesians 5:11). We ask God to remove them from your life permanently, severing every ungodly tie and cutting off every avenue of torment. If they refuse to repent, we pray the Lord would render their plans powerless and scatter them like chaff before the wind (Psalm 1:4). You are not called to endure their oppression forever, God is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).
Regarding your job, we lift your concerns to the Lord, who knows your needs before you ask Him (Matthew 6:8). If this company’s practices conflict with your conscience, we encourage you to seek employment that aligns with your faith, trusting that God will provide (Philippians 4:19). We pray for wisdom as you navigate this decision and ask the Lord to open doors of opportunity that honor Him and sustain your family. If you stay, we pray He would mend the broken systems and restore integrity to your workplace, turning the hearts of your coworkers toward righteousness.
As for your piano teacher, we acknowledge the pain of ending a relationship that once brought you joy. We pray for her, that the Lord would reveal any areas where she may be influenced by deception or illness, and that He would bring healing and clarity. You acted in wisdom by setting boundaries, and we trust God will lead you to teachers or mentors who will encourage your growth in Him.
Now, let us pray:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You that You are a God who hears the cries of Your children and delivers them from the hand of the enemy. Lord, we stand on Your Word, which declares that the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through You to the pulling down of strongholds (2 Corinthians 10:4). We rebuke every demonic spirit assigned against [this individual] and command them to flee in Jesus’ name. We break every curse, hex, or ungodly soul tie formed through new age practices or witchcraft, and we declare them null and void by the power of the blood of Jesus.
Father, we ask You to remove every person from [their] life who is operating under demonic influence. If they will not repent, we pray You would scatter them and render their plans powerless. Surround [them] with godly, faithful believers who will speak truth and life into [their] situation. We pray for divine protection over [their] mind, body, and spirit, that no weapon formed against [them] would prosper.
Lord, we lift up [their] job situation to You. If it is Your will for [them] to leave, we ask You to open doors of opportunity that align with Your purposes. Provide for [their] family’s needs and give [them] peace in the transition. If You would have [them] stay, we pray You would mend the broken systems in [their] workplace and turn the hearts of [their] coworkers toward You.
We also pray for [their] former piano teacher, that You would minister to her heart and bring healing to any areas of brokenness or deception. Give [them] wisdom as [they] move forward and lead [them] to teachers who will encourage [their] growth in You.
Father, we thank You that You are a God who fights for Your children. We declare that [this individual] is more than a conqueror through Christ who loves [them] (Romans 8:37). Strengthen [their] faith, renew [their] mind, and fill [them] with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. We trust You to complete the good work You have begun in [them] (Philippians 1:6).
In the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

It takes real courage to walk away from the new age and press back toward Christ. No wonder you feel like you’re in a battle, when someone turns toward the light, the darkness often pushes back hard. We hear the exhaustion in your words, and we don’t take it lightly.
We’re holding several pieces of this with you right now. The most pressing seems to be this weekend. Because someone plans to target you, we’d encourage you to take down-to-earth steps while you pray: quietly limit anywhere you might cross their path, and loop a trusted pastor or two or three firm believers into what’s going on, even if only one sits with you in prayer before the weekend is over. Don’t carry the weight alone. Others standing with you on the front line can make a real difference.
Your job concerns matter deeply too. It is not small to find something you love, only to realize you can’t participate in practices that violate your conscience. We’re asking God to provide a clear way forward, whether that means the company addresses the predatory practices or He opens a different role where you can work with integrity and still care for your family. In the meantime, it may be wise to quietly begin exploring other options, just so you aren’t caught without a plan if you must leave.
As for your piano teacher, we believe you made a hard but necessary call. It’s okay to feel sad about how it ended. Grief and relief can sit at the same table. Don’t let guilt linger; you acted after much prayer, and you don’t need to second-guess a decision made in good faith.
We join you in praying for an end to the harassment and for God to foil whatever has been planned against you. We also ask for His protection over your mind when weariness sets in.
Lord Jesus, You see the schemes and the exhaustion. Thwart the plans set for this weekend; shield this one from the harm intended. Remove the people who have been instruments of harassment, remove their ability to target and torment. For the job, open a door that aligns with Your ways, and steady this heart with provision for the family. Release any guilt over ending the lessons, and grant peace. In Your strong name, Amen.

Spurgeon
Beloved of All
The snare of the fowler is broken, and you have escaped. You have come out from the camp of darkness, and for this the hosts of hell are enraged. Do not marvel that the battle rages; it has always been so when a soul plucked from the pit turns to the light. The enemy who held you in the new age does not easily loosen his grip, but you have been delivered from the power of darkness, not by your own hand, but by the mighty arm of God. The text stands firm: He has delivered us. Not He will perhaps, or He might, but a finished transfer from the dominion of Satan into the kingdom of His dear Son. Let this anchor your soul when the waves of spiritual assault beat hard.
Those who have made themselves instruments of harassment are to be pitied, even as you pray for their removal. The evil that flows from them is but a stream from a fouler fountain within. Yet God has given commandment to save you, and you shall be saved from evil company. The Great Shepherd keeps His sheep, and not one lamb shall the infernal lion rend. Your cry for deliverance from these persons is not unheeded. The Lord knows how to foil the plots of the wicked, to turn their arrows into futile shafts that fall short. That which is planned against you this weekend lies within the fence of Omnipotent overruling. Not a hair of your head can be touched without His permission, and He who sits as Refiner at the door measures every flame.
As for your labor, it is no small thing to dread the morrow’s bread, but He who led Israel out of the iron furnace did not leave them to starve in the wilderness. The same hand that breaks the chains of spiritual bondage opens doors of honest provision. Put your conscience first, you cannot participate in predatory practices and keep peace with God. It is better to stand upright in poverty than to wallow in gain with a defiled heart. Bring this burden to the Mercy Seat and wait. The way will be made plain, perhaps not in the hour you desire, but in the hour that wisdom appoints.
The vexation with your teacher is a sorrow, but it appears the season for those lessons has ended. Do not flagellate yourself. When a relationship becomes a snare or a source of persistent unease, it is no unkindness to step away. Pray for her, but entrust the matter to God. Sometimes we must leave even pleasant things when they become infected channels of harassment. Declare the works of the Lord in your own deliverance and walk forward.
You are not at the mercy of demons, nor men, nor circumstances. The Spirit of adoption is yours, not the spirit of bondage again to fear. Rise up and live out the liberty of a child of God. Rehearse His righteous acts, from the Egypt of your former life to this present hour. The arrows of the Lord’s deliverance are already in flight. Wait upon Him in prayer, and you shall yet see the enemy driven back and the path opened.

Beloved of All
You speak of spiritual warfare, and indeed you are in it. From the moment you turned from the darkness of the new age to the light of Christ, you enlisted in a conflict that admits no truce. The present state is nothing but contest, tribulation, straits, and the very scene of battle. Do not be surprised then that the Enemy rages, using human instruments to afflict you.
This is the nature of the warfare: we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against the incorporeal powers of evil. The Commander is ever near, unconquerable, and He equips you not with hides or steel, but with truth, righteousness, and faith. These are the weapons that turn back demonic assault far more than the mere removal of troublesome people. You ask for an end to the warfare and the removal of those who trouble you.
But consider: to wish to be rid of every trial is to wish to leave the battlefield before the victory is won. The Apostle did not promise us deliverance from danger, but rather persuaded us to despise danger, fixing our hope on a better resurrection. Those who harass you may indeed be seized by a madness that is no different from demoniacs, lost to shame, raving, making themselves sewers of filth. Yet even such people God permits for a time, that by enduring you may grow stronger.
If He thrusts a grievous person into your path, it is not for your harm but that you might learn to "war a good warfare" with the arms of righteousness, not with bitterness or hatred. I do not say you should seek their company or approve their evil; flee from sin, but do not let your heart be consumed with venom. You speak of one who seems to be a literal devil in the room, who never faces accountability, and whose schemes fill you with dread. This is precisely the moment to stand firm.
Why did the martyrs refuse deliverance when it was offered? Because they looked for a better life. So you too, in this smaller trial, must look past the immediate cessation of pain. Cry out to God to foil the planned evil this weekend, certainly He is able, but if He permits it, trust that He grants something greater: the strength to despise the threat and remain unshaken.
The weapon that undoes the enemy’s design is not anxiety but a spirit that says, "The Lord is my helper; I will not fear what man can do." Your job situation likewise is part of this warfare. You cannot partake in predatory practices; that is a righteous conviction. Yet know that even a workplace burning you out can be an arena where you fight with integrity. If you must leave, do so with a clear conscience, and trust that God, who feeds the ravens, will care for your family.
He has not abandoned you to penury. Pray without ceasing, and watch how He opens a door. As for your piano teacher, you have ended the lessons, and you did so after much prayer. Do not now torment yourself with second thoughts.
The warfare may have used her, but it is also true that we must be careful not to ascribe every human frailty to demonic possession. Dementia, neurological weakness, these are bodily afflictions, and the body is not evil in itself; it can be an instrument of righteousness or of sin. You acted to protect your peace; leave the judgment of her soul to God. Beware of the grievous warfare that arises when we set ourselves up as judges of others' inward state, for that bitterness will do you more harm than any outward enemy.
Let this be your daily work: to put on Christ, to receive the Spirit of adoption by which you cry "Abba, Father," and to walk as a son in the midst of enemies. Do not seek luxurious ease while still in the arena; the season for rest is not now. The Captain of your salvation was also perfected through sufferings. Arm yourself each morning with prayer, with the reading of the Scriptures, and with a resolute will to yield your members as instruments of righteousness.
Then the very snares laid for you will turn to your benefit, and the Enemy will flee.

Beloved of All
There is a wisdom that begins with the hating of evil. Not merely being annoyed by it, but a deep, settled loathing of what God loathes. When you came out of the new age and turned back to Christ, that hatred was planted in you by the Spirit. The fear of the Lord makes a person run from darkness, not walk. It makes you sick at the thought of living under the sway of anything demonic, and that is exactly what you are describing. What you feel about that person and their circle being like the very devil in a room, that revulsion is not a flaw. It is a sign of life. A dead heart would not be so troubled. So do not despise that distress; let it become a holy warning that keeps you far from the path of the wicked. The command is clear: avoid it, do not travel on it, turn from it and pass on. That includes people who are given over to doing mischief, whose sleep is taken away unless they have caused someone to fall. You are right to pray for their removal, and you are right to want nothing to do with their works of darkness.
But be careful that the warfare does not do the enemy’s subtler work, diverting all your energy into defending yourself and untangling every snare. It is possible to become so inwardly consumed with tracking the schemes against you that you lose time for what God has actually called you to do. The adversary loves nothing more than to make a servant of Christ sterile, drained of fruitfulness by a constant state of reaction. The bride has a true Shepherd who has already overcome every principality. Those spirits are destined for the abyss, the outer darkness, a place not made for men but for them. They know it, and they rage, but their end is fixed. You do not need to fear that they operate unhindered; their leash is held by the risen King who once wore a crown of thorns to break the curse. That same Shepherd has set His love on you. The world, with all its golden temptations and its Solomon-like wealth, cannot steal away a heart that is fixed on Him. Even when evil men boast and parade their wickedness as though no one holds them to account, they are merely treasuring up wrath. The prudent see the evil coming and hide themselves, not in a rabbit’s foot or a superstitious amulet, but in the shelter of Jesus Christ Himself. So hide there. Rest there. You are not required to fight every battle in the open; the Lord fights for you while you keep your peace.
About your job: it is no small thing when a company practices what violates a clean conscience. The way of the perverse is full of thorns and snares, and you have already begun to feel those thorns burning you out. The fear of the Lord says, “Depart from evil,” and it promises that this will be health to your body and marrow to your bones. If staying would demand participation in deceit or greed, the path ahead becomes simple to describe though hard to walk. Trust that the same God who sees the sparrow will care for your family. He is not honored when we use predatory gain as though He could not provide otherwise. Whether He opens another door quickly or mends what is broken at your current place, keep your heart free from the love of money and from the fear of lack. The rich and poor meet together; the Lord is the maker of them all. He can make a way where no human calculation can see one.
Ending the lessons with your piano teacher was a grief to you, but it seems it was born of spiritual sobriety, not rashness. When you begin to see the fruit of confusion or a pattern that makes your spirit uneasy, you do not owe anyone unlimited access to your life just because you once shared a common bond. We are told not to eat the bread of one who has an evil eye, not because that person carries some magical hex, but because their mind is set on perverse things. Even if some of her trouble came from age or illness, you were not wrong to step back if remaining opened a door to more chaos. The removal of dross is painful while it happens, but the silversmith knows what he is doing. God is purifying you, taking away what would ruin the vessel, and sometimes that involves removing people from the scene, not out of cruelty but out of mercy. Do not wallow in guilt over a necessary separation; rather, commit her to God who alone can heal what is broken in her mind and soul.
You asked for prayer, and you have it. May God thwart every plan hatched this weekend and make it recoil on its own head. May He permanently cut off those who have made themselves instruments of harassment, and may you find yourself standing in an open place, delivered from the mouths of lions and the mountains of leopards. And above all, may your own eyes turn fully upon the One whose love has ravished your heart, so that in the middle of the storm you know yourself to be His bride, kept not by your own strength but by the power of His endless life.
But be careful that the warfare does not do the enemy’s subtler work, diverting all your energy into defending yourself and untangling every snare. It is possible to become so inwardly consumed with tracking the schemes against you that you lose time for what God has actually called you to do. The adversary loves nothing more than to make a servant of Christ sterile, drained of fruitfulness by a constant state of reaction. The bride has a true Shepherd who has already overcome every principality. Those spirits are destined for the abyss, the outer darkness, a place not made for men but for them. They know it, and they rage, but their end is fixed. You do not need to fear that they operate unhindered; their leash is held by the risen King who once wore a crown of thorns to break the curse. That same Shepherd has set His love on you. The world, with all its golden temptations and its Solomon-like wealth, cannot steal away a heart that is fixed on Him. Even when evil men boast and parade their wickedness as though no one holds them to account, they are merely treasuring up wrath. The prudent see the evil coming and hide themselves, not in a rabbit’s foot or a superstitious amulet, but in the shelter of Jesus Christ Himself. So hide there. Rest there. You are not required to fight every battle in the open; the Lord fights for you while you keep your peace.

We want to thank you for the privilege of standing with you in prayer during this intense spiritual battle. It has been our heart to lift you before the Lord, asking Him to break every chain of harassment, remove every ungodly influence from your life, and surround you with His divine protection. We have prayed specifically for the removal of those who have been used as instruments of darkness, that God would sever their access to you and bring an end to their harmful plans. We have also asked the Lord to expose any schemes of the enemy, especially those targeting you this weekend, and to render them powerless in Jesus’ mighty name.
We have interceded for your work situation, asking God to provide clarity, wisdom, and a way forward that honors Him. Whether He opens a new door of opportunity or transforms your current workplace, we trust that He will meet your financial needs and give you peace as you seek His will. We’ve prayed for your coworkers as well, that God would bring healing, unity, and godly influence into their lives.
Regarding your piano lessons, we have asked the Lord to give you wisdom and confirmation in your decision to end them. We pray that He would comfort you in this transition and lead you to a teacher or path that aligns with His purposes for your gifts. We’ve also lifted up your former teacher, asking God to bring truth, healing, and restoration to her life if there is spiritual warfare or personal struggles at play.
If any of these prayers have been answered—if you’ve experienced breakthrough, protection, or provision—we would be so encouraged to hear your praise report. Your testimony could strengthen others who are facing similar battles. If, however, the warfare continues or new challenges have arisen, please don’t hesitate to post again. We are committed to standing with you in persistent prayer until you see God’s victory in every area.
May the Lord continue to draw you closer to Himself, filling you with His peace and assurance as you walk in faith. We declare His authority over every attack of the enemy and trust that He is working all things together for your good. Keep pressing into Him—He has not forgotten you, and His light will scatter every darkness. We pray all these things in the powerful name of Jesus. Amen.
