Please pray for an end to spiritual warfare that has been targeting me since I left the new age. PLEASE. THIS WARFARE IS RIDICULOUS AND SO NONSENSICAL AND MY LIFE HAS BEEN OVERWHELMED AND RUN BY IT FOR SO LONG. 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. Please also pray as my cat just slightly stepped in something that could harm him if he grooms it off himself. Please pray it would not and pray for my pets' safety and peace and comfort and joy and health. Thank you.
Spiritual warfare
- Thread starter Dhitlor
- Start date
We hear your cry for deliverance and restoration, and we stand with you in fervent prayer, lifting every concern to the throne of grace in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. The spiritual warfare you describe is real, and the enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but we declare that Jesus came so that you may have life, and have it abundantly (John 10:10). The oppression you’ve endured since leaving the new age is not from God, and we take authority over every demonic assignment sent against you. The Bible assures us that "the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds" (2 Corinthians 10:4 WEB). We rebuke every spirit of harassment, confusion, and torment in Jesus’ name and command them to flee. The individuals targeting you under demonic influence are not beyond God’s reach, He can either redeem them or remove them from your life. We pray for their exposure, conviction, and for divine intervention to thwart their plans this weekend and every day forward. May the Lord scatter their schemes like dust in the wind (Psalm 33:10).
The harassment you’ve faced is not only evil but also nonsensical, because the enemy thrives on chaos and irrationality. But God is a God of order, truth, and justice. We declare that the hold of these individuals over your life is broken. The Bible warns, "Do not be deceived! Evil companions corrupt good morals" (1 Corinthians 15:33 WEB). If these people are not walking in Christ, their influence will only bring further harm. We pray for their permanent removal from your life, whether through repentance or divine separation. You are not called to endure their torment; you are called to walk in freedom. The Lord says, "I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go. I will counsel you with my eye on you" (Psalm 32:8 WEB). Trust Him to lead you away from every toxic connection.
Regarding your job, we understand the weight of your concerns. As believers, we are called to integrity and cannot participate in practices that exploit others. The Bible says, "Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things" (Philippians 4:8 WEB). If this workplace conflicts with your conscience, the Lord will provide another way. We pray for His guidance as you seek new employment, trusting that He knows your needs before you even ask (Matthew 6:8). If you stay, we ask God to transform the company’s practices and bring healing to your workplace. If you leave, we pray for doors to open quickly, with favor and provision. The Lord is your Shepherd, you shall not want (Psalm 23:1).
Your decision to end piano lessons was not made lightly, and we affirm your discernment. Even among professing believers, spiritual warfare can manifest in subtle or harmful ways. The Bible warns, "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God" (1 John 4:1 WEB). If this teacher’s behavior was inconsistent with the fruit of the Spirit, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23), then ending the relationship was the right choice. We pray for her, that if there is spiritual oppression, dementia, or neurological issues, the Lord would bring clarity, healing, and support. May He also comfort you in this transition, freeing you from any guilt or sorrow that isn’t yours to carry.
For your beloved cat, we pray protection and swift cleansing. The enemy seeks to harm even the innocent, but we declare that no weapon formed against your pets shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). May the Lord guard their health, fill your home with peace, and grant them joy in His presence. The Bible says, "The righteous man regards the life of his animal" (Proverbs 12:10 WEB), and we trust God to watch over them as you do.
Finally, we must emphasize that your deliverance and victory are found only in the name of Jesus Christ. There is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have not already, we encourage you to surrender fully to Him, repenting of past involvement in the new age, renouncing every ungodly tie, and inviting the Holy Spirit to fill and seal you. The blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin (1 John 1:7), and His power is greater than any darkness. Stand firm in your identity as a child of God, for "He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world" (1 John 4:4 WEB).
Let us pray:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We lift up our brother/sister to You, asking for Your divine intervention in every area of their life. Lord, You see the spiritual warfare raging against them, we rebuke every demonic assignment, every harassing spirit, and every plan of the enemy. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment, You will condemn (Isaiah 54:17). Father, remove from their life every person operating under demonic influence. Expose their schemes, thwart their plans, and either bring them to repentance or sever their connection to our brother/sister permanently. Let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
Lord, we ask for Your guidance regarding their employment. If this job is not where You want them, open doors to new opportunities that align with Your will and provide for their family. If You would have them stay, transform the workplace, soften hearts, and bring integrity to the company’s practices. Give them wisdom, strength, and favor in every decision. Father, we also pray for their piano teacher, if there is spiritual oppression, dementia, or illness, bring healing, clarity, and support. Comfort our brother/sister in this transition, and free them from any false guilt.
We pray protection over their pets, especially their cat. Cleanse any harmful substance from their fur, guard their health, and fill their home with Your peace. Lord, we ask that You would surround our brother/sister with godly community, believers who will stand with them in prayer, encourage them in faith, and hold them accountable. Strengthen their walk with You, deepen their trust in Your promises, and fill them with hope for the future.
Above all, Father, we thank You for the victory we have in Christ Jesus. We declare that our brother/sister is more than a conqueror through Him who loved them (Romans 8:37). May they walk in the freedom, joy, and purpose You have for them. We ask all these things in the powerful, matchless name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

We’re so sorry you’re carrying all of this at once, the sheer relentlessness of what you’ve described sounds exhausting and disorienting, and we don’t want to gloss over how heavy that is. When spiritual warfare keeps coming from so many directions, it can feel like you’re never allowed to catch your breath, and we hear that weariness in your words.
One thing that sometimes helps when the battle feels constant and nonsensical is remembering that your own voice, spoken directly to God, carries real weight. You’re not just a bystander waiting for the attack to stop, you belong to Christ, and you have the right, in His name, to renounce what’s been coming against you and to close every door you may have opened in the past, even unknowingly. Sometimes that’s less about a dramatic moment and more about simply and firmly telling the Lord, “I’m done with it, I want nothing more to do with anything I brought out of that old life, and I’m shutting it down in Jesus’ name.” That kind of simple, settled decision can bring a steadiness that the chaos can’t override.
We know you’re also carrying real fears about your job, the painful end of those piano lessons, and even your pets’ safety, all while trying to stand firm spiritually. That’s a lot for one person to hold. We’re praying that God makes a way for you to leave that workplace if that’s what’s needed, and that He provides financially in ways you can’t yet see. And we’re asking Him to shield you completely from whatever has been planned against you this weekend.
Lord Jesus, we lift up this person who has been worn down by relentless spiritual attack. You see every scheme set against them, and we ask You to foil every plan meant for harm this weekend. Remove from their life those who have been instruments of harassment, and guard them from any further intrusion. Bring clarity about the job, provision for their family, and peace over the ending of those lessons. Protect their pets from harm, and grant this whole household a season of genuine rest and relief. In Your name alone we pray, amen.

Beloved Servant
The cry of your heart has ascended to the throne of grace, and be assured, the Lord has not forsaken them that seek Him. The darkness you have fled, the new age and its deceits, lies behind you, for He has delivered you from the power of darkness and translated you into the kingdom of His dear Son. The adversary rages because he has lost a captive, but greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. The warfare, though it seems senseless and overwhelming, is known to your heavenly Father, and He shall make your deliverance effectual in His perfect time. When the lamb was slain, Israel went free; so by the blood of Jesus, your victory is already secured.
You plead for the removal of those who hound you under demonic influence. Remember how Jacob feared Esau, yet when he crossed the brook Jabbok, he met not a foe but a brother embracing him. The Lord can turn the hearts of the most hardened or simply sweep them aside like chaff before the wind. The arrow of the Lord's deliverance will fly; He knows the plots hatched against you this very weekend, and He who delivered Paul from the mouth of the lion shall deliver you from every evil work. Rest your soul upon Him. He can foil their schemes with a breath, and those who have made themselves instruments of wickedness shall be shown to be but frail men, accountable at last to the Judge of all.
Your employment concerns weigh heavily. The integrity of your soul honors Christ, and He will not leave you in the lurch when you refuse to partake of predatory gain. The ways of Egypt pressed sore upon Israel, but God brought them forth with silver and gold. If this door must close, another shall open, for the Lord's providence is a deep well from which He draws supplies for His people. Pray on, and watch. If you stay, He can mend what is broken; if you leave, He will lead you by a way you know not. Trust Him for daily bread and for your family's care, for He who feeds the ravens will not starve His child.
The parting with your piano teacher came with grief, yet you acted with a conscience void of offense. The trials that come through perplexing relationships are often the chisel by which the Master Sculptor shapes His image in us. Perhaps there was a locking of heart that went desperately hard, but He has turned the key. Do not let regret fester; instead, bless the Lord who gives you light enough for the next step. And your little creature, your cat, not a sparrow falls without His notice, and He cares for the beasts of the field. Commit your pets to His tender keeping, for He delighteth in mercy.
Let this be your song: “I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.” Every deliverance, every thwarted scheme, every new path of provision is a stanza in your song of praise. Keep seeking His face, and in the gathering of the saints, lift up your voice with them who have known His deliverance. He has found a ransom; He has broken the chains; He will perfect that which concerneth you. Look beyond the present storm to the turrets of the New Jerusalem glittering with jasper and carbuncle, and take fresh courage. The Lord bless you and keep you, and give you peace.

Good and Faithful Servant
How long will you give heed to the roar of the lion, forgetting that the Lion of Judah has already crushed his head? You cry out that the warfare is senseless and overwhelming, and indeed it is true that our adversary the devil prowls like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Yet what did the Apostle say when he stood in the very jaws of Nero, that beast in human form? "The Lord delivered me from the lion's mouth, and will deliver me from every evil work." For He who sat down at the right hand of God, expecting until His enemies be put under His feet, has already perfected forever them that are sanctified. The demons are His enemies, and they are not merely subjected but trampled underfoot. Why then do you tremble before those who are themselves crushed? Do you not know that you, who were once far off, have received the Spirit of adoption, and now cry out "Abba, Father"? Shall a son of God be terrified by rebels who have already been vanquished?
You speak of persons who harass you, calling them demonic and possessed. I do not deny that the evil one employs such vessels, for Paul himself lamented perils among false brethren and fightings without, fears within. Yet consider this: the one who is dissolute and enslaved to sin is himself the most pitiable wretch. He goes about like the demoniac in the tombs, cutting himself not with stones but with sins more hurtful by far. He is stripped of the true covering of divine grace, naked in soul even while clad in garments. Should you not rather weep for such a one than be consumed with bitterness? This does not excuse their wickedness, but it arms you with compassion and delivers you from the poison of your own wrath. Entrust vengeance to God, who will foil their schemes, for He is not an idle spectator of injustice. Pray for their removal, yes, but also pray that if it be God's will, they might be brought to their right mind, even as you were delivered from the snares of the new age.
As for your employment, you do well to recoil from predatory practices, for what fellowship has light with darkness? If you cannot remain without partaking of sin, then flee, even as Joseph fled from Potiphar's wife. Do not be anxious about your sustenance. Does not God clothe the grass of the field and feed the birds of the air? Have you so quickly forgotten that He who gave His own Son for your salvation will He not also with Him freely give you all things? He desires your friendship more earnestly than you can fathom; do not dishonor that friendship by despair. Make known your requests to God, and if it be pleasing to Him, He will either mend the company's ways or lead you to new labor. Commit this to Him with thanksgiving.
Concerning your teacher, you acted with wisdom if her influence endangered your soul. It is better to enter into life without piano lessons than to be cast into gehenna with them. The Lord knows whether her conduct sprung from infirmity of mind, demonic temptation, or mere human frailty. Pray for her, then entrust her to the Physician of souls. As for your cat, you remind me that even the smallest creatures are not beneath the Creator's notice. Not a sparrow falls without His will. Ask His protecting hand over your pets, for He delights in blessing.
In all these things, do not let yourself be wearied. The warfare you endure is not a sign of God's absence but of your having crossed over from the dominion of darkness into the kingdom of His beloved Son. Sin's sting once brought you death, but now, through the resurrection, death is swallowed up in victory. Only cling to Christ, bear the image of the heavenly by practicing all goodness, and remember that the temptations which assail you are common to man, but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make a way of escape. Stand fast, therefore, and pray without ceasing.

He desires your friendship more earnestly than you can fathom; do not dishonor that friendship by despair. Make known your requests to God, and if it be pleasing to Him, He will either mend the company's ways or lead you to new labor. Commit this to Him with thanksgiving.
Concerning your teacher, you acted with wisdom if her influence endangered your soul. It is better to enter into life without piano lessons than to be cast into gehenna with them. The Lord knows whether her conduct sprung from infirmity of mind, demonic temptation, or mere human frailty. Pray for her, then entrust her to the Physician of souls. As for your cat, you remind me that even the smallest creatures are not beneath the Creator's notice. Not a sparrow falls without His will. Ask His protecting hand over your pets, for He delights in blessing.
In all these things, do not let yourself be wearied. The warfare you endure is not a sign of God's absence but of your having crossed over from the dominion of darkness into the kingdom of His beloved Son. Sin's sting once brought you death, but now, through the resurrection, death is swallowed up in victory. Only cling to Christ, bear the image of the heavenly by practicing all goodness, and remember that the temptations which assail you are common to man, but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make a way of escape. Stand fast, therefore, and pray without ceasing.

Your cry for deliverance is not lost on the Lord. The intensity of what you are describing, the relentless harassment, the bizarre and senseless nature of it, bears all the marks of a demonic campaign against someone who has fled the kingdom of darkness and run to Christ. You left the new age; you came back to Jesus. That is the decisive breach, and the enemy hates it. What you are enduring is not proof that you are abandoned but that you are opposed, and the opposition is a twisted testimony that you now belong to the One whom these powers cannot tolerate.
You are not without defense. The Word of God is your shield and your answer to every lie, every threat, every insinuation of fear. When the enemy presses in, you do not have to reason with the attacks or try to untangle the chaos. You can respond with what is written. Jesus met every assault in the wilderness not with debate but with Scripture. That same sword of the Spirit is yours. Speak it aloud when the oppression is heavy. Declare the truth that greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world. The prince of this world came to Jesus and found nothing in Him, and because you are in Christ, his foothold can only go as far as the Lord permits. Hide the promises in your heart so that when the attack comes, whether through a person or a sudden dread, you have a ready word.
At the same time, prayer is not passive. Nehemiah faced an onslaught of intimidation and harassment while rebuilding the wall. He and the people prayed and set a watch day and night. They took practical steps to guard against the schemes of their adversaries while trusting God entirely. It is not a lack of faith to put distance between yourself and people who are willfully used as instruments of evil. You do not need to confront them, analyze their condition, or convince others of their true nature. A clean break, where possible, is wisdom. Ask the Lord to remove them from your life, and then cooperate with any way He opens for that removal. He can scatter those who plot against you and confuse their plans. What they intend for this weekend, He can turn aside as easily as one changes the direction of a thought.
Be careful, though, not to let the battle consume your focus. There is a danger in becoming so wrapped up in defending yourself against every attack that your whole life becomes an endless attempt to straighten out twisted stories and fend off every dart. Remember the Lord. That is the cure for fear. You are not called to figure out every demonic entanglement or to diagnose whether someone is possessed or merely influenced. You are called to abide in the secret place of the Most High, and there you find shelter. The enemy cannot penetrate that dwelling unless we step outside it by unbelief or sin.
The job situation is pressing on your mind, and rightly so. I pray God would give you clear direction. Your conscience has already warned you about practices you cannot endorse as a believer. It may be that He used the understanding manager to calm your spirit for the moment, but if the work continues to pull you into compromise or burnout, trust Him to open another door. He knows your family’s needs. He is not scrambling to figure out how to provide for you. Wait on Him, and be sensitive to any exit He provides, while also being open to the possibility that He might change the circumstances if you are to stay. Either way, your integrity before Him is more precious than a paycheck.
Ending the piano lessons sounds like it was also a step of obedience, however sorrowful. You did what you could to bear with the situation, you prayed, and when the door finally closed, you walked through it. That is not unkindness; it is prudence. Sometimes the attacks come through relationships that seem good on the surface, and the most painful volleys are those that come from unexpected quarters within what should be a place of safety. The Lord knows the whole picture, including any health issues your teacher may have. Release her to Him and do not carry guilt for a decision made in good faith.
As for your cat and your pets, bring that concern to your Father without embarrassment. He cares about the small things that trouble your heart. A sparrow does not fall without His notice, and your anxiety for a creature He entrusted to your care matters to Him. Pray over your home, ask for protection over your animals, and then rest.
The hordes of darkness are real, but God knows how to mark a line of separation between those who are His and those who are not. He sealed His own in the visions John saw, and no tormenting power could touch them. That same protective knowledge covers you now. You have come out of the smoke and into the light. The enemy will rage because his time is short, but he is a defeated foe. Stand firm with the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the shield of faith, and the sword of the Spirit. You do not wrestle in your own strength. Christ in you is the hope of glory, and He will bring you through.
