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. Thank you.
Spiritual warfare

We hear your cry for deliverance and restoration, and we stand with you in fervent prayer, lifting every burden before 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 might have life, and life abundantly (John 10:10). We rebuke every demonic assignment against you in the mighty name of Jesus, for "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). The harassment, oppression, and torment you’ve endured are not from God, and we declare them broken by the blood of Christ and the authority of His name.
First, we pray for the complete removal of those who have been used as instruments of darkness in your life. Father, we ask You to sever every ungodly soul tie, expose every hidden scheme, and scatter every demonic influence surrounding these individuals. "Deliver us from the evil one" (Matthew 6:13 WEB), and let no weapon formed against Your child prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We declare that the plans of the enemy against you this weekend, and every day, are foiled, for "no weapon that is formed against you will prevail" (Isaiah 54:17 WEB). We bind every spirit of harassment, deception, and possession operating through these people, and we loose the peace of God to surround you like a shield. If it is Your will, Lord, bring conviction, repentance, or even divine restraint upon those who refuse to turn from evil. But above all, protect and separate Your child from their influence.
Regarding your job, we lift your concerns to the Lord, who is your Provider. The pressure to compromise your integrity is heavy, and we pray for wisdom and clarity as you seek His will. "Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your paths" (Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB). If it is Your will for this season to end, Father, open a door no man can shut (Revelation 3:8) and lead him to work that honors You and sustains his family. If You call him to stay, soften hearts, change policies, and bring godly leadership to address the predatory practices. We also pray for your coworkers, that they would see Christ in you, that their burdens would be lifted, and that any spiritual oppression over them would be broken.
For your piano teacher, we ask for healing and discernment. It is possible that spiritual attack, illness, or even generational strongholds have influenced her behavior. We pray for her protection, clarity, and restoration, and we release forgiveness over any offense, as Christ has forgiven us (Colossians 3:13). Ending the lessons was a difficult but necessary step, and we trust God to bring beauty from it. May He provide a teacher who will encourage and edify you in faith and skill.
Most of all, we pray for your soul to find rest in Christ. The enemy wants you weary, isolated, and afraid, but God has not given you a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control (2 Timothy 1:7). We encourage you to stand firm in your identity as a child of God, washed in the blood of Jesus, and sealed by the Holy Spirit. Surround yourself with believers who will pray with you, speak truth over you, and hold you accountable. "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you" (James 4:7 WEB). The battle is already won, walk in that victory.
Let us pray:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, the Name above every name, the only Name by which we are saved (Acts 4:12). We thank You for the blood of Jesus that breaks every chain and the authority we have in Him to tread upon serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy (Luke 10:19). Lord, we stand in the gap for our brother, declaring that every assignment of darkness against him is dismantled. We break every curse, hex, or spell spoken against him, for Christ became a curse for us (Galatians 3:13). We cancel every word, thought, or action sent to harm him, and we declare that no weapon formed against him shall prosper.
Father, we ask You to remove every person from his life who is not aligned with Your will. Sever ungodly connections, expose hidden agendas, and let Your light dispel every shadow of deception. For those who refuse to repent, we ask for Your divine intervention, whether through conviction, restraint, or removal. Protect him from their schemes, and let him walk in the freedom Christ died to give.
Lord, we lift his job before You. Give him wisdom to know whether to stay or go, and provide for his family according to Your riches in glory (Philippians 4:19). If he stays, change the culture of the workplace. Let integrity and righteousness prevail, and let Your peace rule in his heart. If he leaves, open a door of opportunity that aligns with Your purpose and sustains his household. We declare that he will not be put to shame, and his needs will be met.
For his piano teacher, we pray for healing, spirit, soul, and body. If there is spiritual warfare, break it. If there is illness, restore her. If there is deception, bring truth. And if there is sin, bring repentance. We release forgiveness over any offense, and we ask that You would bring someone into his life who will encourage him in faith and music.
Above all, Lord, we ask that You draw him closer to You. Let this season of warfare refine his faith, deepen his trust in You, and strengthen his resolve to walk in holiness. Fill him with Your peace that surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:7), and let him rest in the shadow of Your wings (Psalm 91:1). We declare that the enemy’s tactics are exposed, his plans are frustrated, and his power is broken in Jesus’ name.
Thank You, Father, for hearing our prayer. We trust in Your faithfulness, knowing that You are working all things together for good for those who love You and are called according to Your purpose (Romans 8:28). We seal this prayer in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

We hear how bone-weary you are, and it makes complete sense, leaving the new age and being pounded by this spiritual warfare while also navigating work stress, the end of the piano lessons, and the sheer relentlessness you described. That’s an enormous weight to carry, and we’re genuinely sorry you’re having to endure it day after day.
Because this fight has been grinding on so long, having some in-person support might help you not feel so alone in it. When the harassment and confusion feel suffocating, sometimes just sitting with a wise pastor or a mature believer from a solid church can steady your soul and help you sort out practical steps, like how to handle the job decision or safety concerns with that person who keeps targeting you. If you haven’t already, consider asking a trusted leader to pray with you and offer ongoing support. God often uses his people to shield and strengthen each other in seasons exactly like this.
We’re also glad you spoke with your manager. Even if you ultimately need to leave, that conversation was brave, and God saw it. You’re not trapped, he can open a new path for your work, and we’ll ask him to provide for your family’s finances as you take the next step, whether staying or going. About the piano teacher: it sounds like you made a painful but necessary choice, and you don’t need to carry guilt over that. Lay it down and let the Lord bring closure.
We’re praying now with you:
Father, we lift up this one who is exhausted and desperate for relief from spiritual assault. You see every attack, every harassing scheme, and every hidden thing. Please put a hedge of protection around them, silence the power of the enemy, and permanently cut off the influence of the people who’ve been used to harm them. Block whatever has been planned for this weekend, and frustrate every plot. For the job, grant supernatural wisdom and clear direction, and provide abundantly for the family’s needs. Bring healing and peace from the piano teacher situation. Most of all, in the middle of this overwhelming noise, let your presence be known, a stillness that holds them steady. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Beloved of All
The warfare you endure is no light skirmish, for the enemy of souls hates to see a captive set free from the snare of the new age. But be of good cheer; He that is in you is greater than he that is in the world. You have been delivered from the power of darkness and translated into the kingdom of God’s dear Son, and that deliverance is as full and effectual for the daily battles as for the initial rescue. The assaults, though they be nonsensical and overwhelming, are permitted only within the bounds of divine permission. There is no evil in the city but the Lord hath done it, or at least hath allowed it; and if He allows, it is with a purpose of love. The Lord hath chastened sorely, but He hath not given you over unto death. Every arrow from Satan’s bow is aimed with cruelty, but it falls within the fence of omnipotent overruling.
Concerning the individuals who trouble you, whether they be driven by their own malice or used as instruments of demonic forces, remember that the Lord can break in pieces everything that sets itself up in opposition to Him. He can dry up the green tree of the wicked and lift up the poor from the dunghill. Pray for their removal, yes, but also rest in the quiet confidence that the Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations. He can foil the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise. When Jacob went to meet Esau, he feared the sword, but the Lord turned the heart of his brother, and they fell on each other’s neck with tears. God hath a thousand ways to make even your enemies to be at peace with you, or else to remove them far from your path. Leave this person’s plans in His hands; He that keepeth Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps.
As to your employment, you do well to be troubled at predatory practices. A Christian cannot build his house by unrighteous gain, nor partake in that which wounds the helpless. If the way is shut against integrity, then it is God’s voice whispering, “Turn away from it.” Seek the Lord for new work, for He who fed His people in the wilderness can spread a table for you in the presence of your foes. Cast your care upon Him; your Heavenly Father knoweth that you have need of these things. The silver and the gold are His, and He can open a door that no man can shut, even when your own strength fails.
The matter of your piano teacher is now settled, and though it ended sorrowfully, it ended as it must. When the Lord removes a prop, lean not on it, but on Him. You have acted with a tender conscience, and you may commit the woman’s soul and body to the Great Physician, who knoweth what is dementia and what is demonic. Better to walk in peace with a clear spirit than to linger where unease festers.
In all these buffetings, flee to the Stronghold. Your help cometh from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. You are weak as water, but His grace is sufficient. He hath said, “I will strengthen them in the Lord,” and His “I will” is a triple guarantee of omnipotent grace. Deliverance from the power of sin and the malice of the enemy is as much His work as forgiveness itself. Look to the ransom found, even Christ Jesus, and you shall never go down into the pit. Declare with the Psalmist, “I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.” The death of your old hopes may be a new birth to sweeter trust. Go forth then, walking up and down in His name, and the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly.

I prayed for this in Jesus Name.
Chrysostom
Beloved of All
The spiritual warfare you describe is not unexpected for those who forsake the darkness of the new age and turn to the light of Christ. The devil, that ancient serpent, does not easily release his captives. Yet do not be overwhelmed, for the Lord delivers His own from every evil work. When you renounced witchcraft, you declared war on the kingdom of darkness, and its rulers rage against you. But remember: He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. The poison of the enemy is real, but it cannot overcome the power of the Cross. Stand firm, then, and do not fear their threats.
Those who harass you under demonic influence are not merely troublesome neighbors; they are instruments of the evil one. The Apostle commands us to have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather to expose them. “Come out from among them and be separate,” says the Lord. If a limb becomes gangrenous, the surgeon cuts it off lest the whole body perish. So you must cut off all contact with these people, not out of hatred, but to preserve your soul. Pray for their deliverance, if God should grant it, but do not keep company with them. Evil communications corrupt good manners. Their society will stain your reputation and, worse, your conscience. Flee from them as Joseph fled from Potiphar’s wife, leaving your garment in their hands.
As for the one plotting against you this weekend, do not be troubled. He who delivered the Apostle Paul out of the mouth of the lion will deliver you. Commit the matter to God in prayer, and trust that He will foil every scheme. Often in such warfare, the enemy’s own plans are turned back upon his head. The Lord sits at the right hand of God, expecting until His enemies, including all who serve the devil, are made His footstool. Those demons who now rage will soon be crushed. Your battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the world rulers of this darkness, and they are already defeated. Only hold fast your confession, and do not yield.
Regarding your work, it is far better to suffer want than to enrich yourself through dishonest gain. What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul? You have acted with integrity by speaking to your manager. If the company will not reform its predatory practices, then you must depart, even if it means financial hardship. God is not unrighteous to forget your work and love. He who feeds the birds of the air and clothes the lilies of the field will provide for you and your family. Seek first the kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added. Do not be anxious about tomorrow; today’s trouble is enough. If you must leave, go in peace, and pray that God would open a door for honest labor.
Concerning your piano teacher, you did wisely to end the lessons when the situation proved harmful. If a professing believer becomes a source of spiritual harm, whether through demonic manipulation or natural infirmity, we are not required to remain in a snare. The Apostle himself said, “If any man that is called a brother be covetous or an idolater or a railer, with such a one do not even eat.” We do not judge the heart, but we must guard our own. You sought the Lord earnestly, and He gave you peace to separate. Do not second-guess this. Love her from a distance, commend her to God’s mercy, but do not entangle yourself again in a yoke of anxiety. Forgive her, release her to God’s judgment or healing, and move forward in the liberty Christ has given you.
Above all, hold fast the crown you have received. It is not enough to be delivered from evil; you must walk in good works worthy of your calling. The warfare you endure is evidence that you have crossed over from death to life. The enemy would sift you like wheat, but I have prayed for you that your faith fail not. Be sober, be vigilant; resist the devil and he will flee from you. The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. Until that day, arm yourself with prayer, fasting, the Scriptures, and the fellowship of faithful brethren. Do not isolate yourself, but seek out those who will strengthen your hands and confirm your soul. You are not alone in this conflict; the whole Church on earth and the hosts of heaven contend with you.
Take courage, then. The lion may roar, but he is chained. The storm may blow, but Christ is in the boat. I will join my prayers with yours, that every hidden work of darkness be brought to light, that every evil plan be confounded, and that you may be established in the peace that passes understanding. The Lord is faithful; He will do it.

The Lord sits at the right hand of God, expecting until His enemies, including all who serve the devil, are made His footstool. Those demons who now rage will soon be crushed. Your battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the world rulers of this darkness, and they are already defeated. Only hold fast your confession, and do not yield.
Regarding your work, it is far better to suffer want than to enrich yourself through dishonest gain. What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul? You have acted with integrity by speaking to your manager. If the company will not reform its predatory practices, then you must depart, even if it means financial hardship. God is not unrighteous to forget your work and love. He who feeds the birds of the air and clothes the lilies of the field will provide for you and your family. Seek first the kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added. Do not be anxious about tomorrow; today’s trouble is enough. If you must leave, go in peace, and pray that God would open a door for honest labor.
Concerning your piano teacher, you did wisely to end the lessons when the situation proved harmful. If a professing believer becomes a source of spiritual harm, whether through demonic manipulation or natural infirmity, we are not required to remain in a snare. The Apostle himself said, “If any man that is called a brother be covetous or an idolater or a railer, with such a one do not even eat.” We do not judge the heart, but we must guard our own. You sought the Lord earnestly, and He gave you peace to separate. Do not second-guess this. Love her from a distance, commend her to God’s mercy, but do not entangle yourself again in a yoke of anxiety. Forgive her, release her to God’s judgment or healing, and move forward in the liberty Christ has given you.
Above all, hold fast the crown you have received. It is not enough to be delivered from evil; you must walk in good works worthy of your calling. The warfare you endure is evidence that you have crossed over from death to life. The enemy would sift you like wheat, but I have prayed for you that your faith fail not. Be sober, be vigilant; resist the devil and he will flee from you. The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. Until that day, arm yourself with prayer, fasting, the Scriptures, and the fellowship of faithful brethren. Do not isolate yourself, but seek out those who will strengthen your hands and confirm your soul. You are not alone in this conflict; the whole Church on earth and the hosts of heaven contend with you.
Take courage, then. The lion may roar, but he is chained. The storm may blow, but Christ is in the boat. I will join my prayers with yours, that every hidden work of darkness be brought to light, that every evil plan be confounded, and that you may be established in the peace that passes understanding. The Lord is faithful; He will do it.

Beloved of All
The warfare you are describing is real and fierce, and it is no surprise that it has intensified since you left the new age. When a person turns from that realm and comes back to Jesus Christ, it often stirs up the demonic forces that once held sway. These spirits are not content to wander without a place to dwell; they seek rest and, finding none, they press hard against those they have lost. The torment and harassment you have endured for so long are not simply the actions of difficult people, but evidence that you are dealing with something behind them, intelligent, malevolent beings who have no mercy. Yet remember, none of this is outside the authority of the One who holds all power over the demonic realm. The same Jesus who commanded the screaming spirits to come out is the same who has sealed you with His Spirit. No one can pluck you from His hand.
When you ask for the removal of those who have been targeting you and for God to foil their plans this weekend, you are praying in line with how He often works. The purposes of darkness can be overturned in a moment by the light of His truth. In history, men driven by evil forces have committed unimaginable cruelty, but their end is sure. The kings of the earth gather and rage, but their rebellion against the Lord will be shattered. That person you described whose presence feels like the literal devil, and the circle around them, may indeed be under a strong influence, but the Lord knows how to deliver the righteous from their snares. It may feel as though they are never held accountable, but judgment belongs to God. I join you in asking that He would permanently sever their ability to harm you, and that any scheme set for this weekend would come to nothing. Do not let the oppression cause you to mourn without hope; cry out with the psalmist, “O send out Your light and Your truth! Let them lead me.” He will answer.
The situation with your job is another weight on your spirit. You love the work, but you cannot participate in predatory practices that harm customers. That conviction is the fruit of a conscience washed clean. Financial pressures and the worry of caring for your family can bow the soul down to the dust, and I hear that fear. But never forget that God has a long history of making provision for those who will not compromise righteousness. There are seasons when believers face severe trials, even poverty, and yet from a place of deep need they discover the abundance of joy in trusting Him. He is not boxed in by the scarcity of this world. Just as He left room in the law to heal the leper, He can open a door to new work that will not require you to violate your faith. If He chooses to keep you there for a time, He can mend the concerns and change the culture from within; if not, He will supply another place. You are not abandoned.
Ending the lessons with your piano teacher was a hard but necessary step. Sometimes the enemy uses the vulnerabilities of others, even fellow believers, to bring confusion and harm. Whether it was spiritual influence, a neurological condition, or both, you acted after much prayer and with a settled peace. Do not carry guilt for a boundary that wisdom demanded. God often gives us a sense when something is not right, even when we cannot fully explain it.
Take heart: deliverance will come. It may arise from a quarter you do not expect, and the very circumstances that seem to hem you in may be the stage for God’s working. The battle is fierce, but the outcome is not in doubt. Keep watching, keep your garments, and let His truth lead you step by step. You are in my prayers.
