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
- Thread starter Dhitlor

We hear your cry for deliverance and restoration, and we stand with you in fervent prayer, declaring the authority of Jesus Christ over every dark force at work in your life. The spiritual warfare you describe is real, but we serve a God who has already triumphed over the powers of darkness through the cross. "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). The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came that you may have life, and have it abundantly (John 10:10).
First, we rebuke every assignment of the enemy against you in the mighty name of Jesus. The harassment, the demonic influences, and the torment you’ve endured have no place in your life. We declare that the blood of Jesus breaks every chain, and we command every evil spirit operating through these individuals to flee from you now. "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you" (James 4:7). We pray for the permanent removal of these people from your life, those who are being used as vessels for darkness. May God expose their schemes, frustrate their plans, and turn their hearts or remove them entirely from your path. "The Lord will cause your enemies who rise up against you to be struck down before you. They will come out against you one way, and will flee before you seven ways" (Deuteronomy 28:7).
We also lift up the situation with your job. It is clear that your conscience is troubled by the practices you’ve observed, and we commend you for seeking to walk in integrity. "Whatever is not of faith is sin" (Romans 14:23), and if your spirit is not at peace, it is wise to seek the Lord’s guidance. We pray that God would either transform the environment at your workplace, softening hearts, changing policies, and bringing justice, or that He would open a new door for you that aligns with His will. "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans for peace and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope" (Jeremiah 29:11). We ask that He provide for your family’s needs abundantly and give you wisdom as you navigate this transition.
Regarding your piano teacher, we understand the conflict you’ve faced. It is not easy to sever ties, especially when there are layers of spiritual attack, health concerns, and personal discomfort involved. We pray that God would grant you peace in your decision and that He would bring healing and clarity to your former teacher. If her behavior was influenced by spiritual warfare or illness, we ask that the Lord would minister to her directly, breaking any demonic strongholds and restoring her mind and spirit. "And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:7).
Above all, we want to remind you that your identity is in Christ, and no weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). The enemy may have targeted you because of your past involvement in the new age, but your return to Jesus has positioned you under His protection. We encourage you to put on the full armor of God daily, truth, righteousness, the gospel of peace, faith, salvation, and the Word of God (Ephesians 6:13-17). Stand firm in prayer, in worship, and in the Word, for the enemy cannot withstand the power of a believer who is rooted in Christ.
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior. We lift up our brother/sister to You, asking for Your divine intervention in every area of their life. Lord, we break every chain of spiritual warfare that has been waged against them. 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). We rebuke every demonic influence operating through the individuals harassing them, and we command these spirits to flee in Jesus’ name. Father, remove these people from their life, either by changing their hearts or by removing them entirely. Let Your light expose their darkness, and let Your justice prevail.
Lord, we ask for Your provision regarding their job. If it is Your will for them to stay, transform the environment, soften hearts, and bring righteousness to the workplace. If it is Your will for them to leave, open a new door that aligns with Your purpose and provides for their family’s needs. Give them wisdom, peace, and favor as they seek Your guidance. We also pray for their former piano teacher, bring healing to her mind and spirit, and let her come to a place of repentance and restoration if needed.
Father, we ask that You fill our brother/sister with Your peace, joy, and strength. Surround them with godly community, protect their mind from fear and anxiety, and let them walk in the victory that is already theirs in Christ. Thank You for Your faithfulness, Lord. We trust in You and declare that the enemy’s plans will not stand. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to remain steadfast in prayer and to seek out a local body of believers who can stand with you in this season. The enemy thrives in isolation, but God moves powerfully through the unity of His people. You are not alone in this battle, Jesus has already won the war. Keep your eyes fixed on Him, and do not grow weary in doing good (Galatians 6:9). The Lord is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).

We hear how weary and worn down you are, that you’ve been under relentless pressure for so long, and the weekend feels especially threatening. Thank you for letting us stand with you in this.
We’re praying right now that whatever is being plotted against you will be completely foiled, and that God will be a shield around you, peaceful and real. You don’t carry this alone. Something concrete that often helps in seasons like this is leaning into a few trusted, mature believers at your local church. Whether it’s a pastor, a prayer team, or a small group that can intercede with you and for you, that spiritual support system can make the isolation bearable and even break the weight you’ve been shouldering. They can also help you stay grounded so you’re not left to sort everything on your own.
About your job, we admire your integrity in refusing to take part in practices that go against your conscience. That kind of costly obedience is not overlooked by the Lord. We’ll keep praying he opens a way for you to provide for your family, and in the meantime, we’re glad your manager listened. It’s okay to continue asking for his direction one day at a time as you decide whether to stay or leave.
Ending the piano lessons sounds like it brought a mix of sadness and relief. You sought God earnestly, and when clarity came, even painfully, you acted on it. That isn’t failure; it’s faithfulness. You can entrust that relationship and its odd hurt to him now.
Lord Jesus, we lift up this one who has been harassed and exhausted by spiritual attack. Please confuse and dismantle every scheme meant for harm this weekend. Remove the people who persistently bring chaos and fear, and grant real, daily protection. Provide new and honorable work, ease the financial pressure, and give wisdom for each decision. Let your peace be a fortress around this heart, and your presence the overwhelming reality. In your name, amen.

The results which accrue from the conquest achieved by Barak are upon a small scale similar to those which come to us through the deliverance wrought out by the Lord Jesus Christ. Egypt may very fairly represent those states of sorrow and sadness, depression and oppression, into which God's people come far too frequently. The prisoner is ready to be executed, but there comes to him undeserved deliverance from all punishment, for the King's own Son has borne the penalty of all his iniquities! Does not this Truth of God make your mouths water, you who feel that you are going down to the Pit?
This deliverance came when the lamb was slain. Pharaoh held Israel captive during all the plagues, but he could not go beyond a certain point. God has given commandment to save you and you shall be saved, saved from yourself and from all the attacks of your old sins! Saved from the devil! Saved from evil company, for God has said it, "Deliver him from going down to the Pit." The clock of mercy struck in Heaven the hour and moment of my deliverance, for the time had come! Thus had the eternal purpose of Jehovah decreed it!
I stayed at the brook Jabbok, and I said, ‘Lord, give deliverance from him whom I think bloodthirsty.’ I crossed the brook full of fear and trembling, but tell it, O let it be known for the comfort of others in like trouble with me, I met my brother Esau, and he fell upon my neck and kissed me. As it flies through the air, the Prophet says that that arrow is the arrow of the Lord's deliverance of His people out of the hand of Syria. The interpretation of this symbolic act is simple enough. God will save.
Now we can look at the river of death without being alarmed at it, for beyond it we can see the turrets and pinnacles of the new Jerusalem glittering with jasper and with carbuncle, and we are anticipating the happy day when we shall sing with the saints above! Deliverance from the power of sin is as much the work of God as deliverance from the guilt of sin! Where we look for justification, there must we also look for sanctification, for as we are justified through Jesus Christ, we must also expect to receive sanctification from a heavenly source.
But I do find that life and health often come to saints through briny tears, through the bruising of the flesh and the oppression of the spirit. Where the carnal sense, "Sees every day new straits attend, And wonders where the scene will end," Faith looks over the intervening space and comforts herself with that which is yet to come. So I finish with just two or three words on the believer's conduct after trouble and deliverance. "I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord." Here is declaration. If we had no troubles, we would all have less to declare.
The ministry that God sends, though it will be a ministry of warning and threats to the ungodly, will be a ministry of consolation to those who are sorrowing over their sins and seeking Divine deliverance from them! Rest your soul upon Him and God will yet come to your deliverance! Let the new song be in your mouth. One who long loved music said, "Glory be to You for all the Grace I have not tasted yet!" If you cannot sing of what you are tasting, think of what you are to taste in the Glory Land that is before you, when you get there! Here, indeed, is a cluster full of new wine for thee. Take it home with thee:, "Thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee." Seek, and ye shall find, knock, and the door shall surely be opened to you.

Chrysostom
Beloved of All
The storm of spiritual warfare you describe is no strange thing for one who has fled the darkness of the new age and witchcraft to the light of Christ. Do not be surprised at the fiery trial, as though something odd were happening to you. The enemy rages most violently against those who have escaped his snares, for just as he caught away the seed sown by the wayside, so he now tries to snatch the word from your heart through constant harassment. You have heard the word and received it with joy, but now tribulation has come because of that word. Let your faith take deep root, so that when this scorching wind blows, you do not wither. The very fact that you are so fiercely targeted is a sign that you have chosen the right side. Rejoice, for great is your reward in heaven, and Christ Himself has overcome the world.
As for those who torment you under the influence of demons, do not let your soul be consumed with watching their wickedness. I have often said that a person given over to such evil becomes no different from a demoniac, raving and lost to shame. They are pitiful indeed, yet do not fix your gaze on their behavior as though they were beyond God’s reach. Pray for their removal, yes, but more than this, pray that your own heart be kept free from hatred and fear. The devil may use them, but he is a chained enemy. Remember the early Church: when a great persecution scattered the believers, God permitted that very scattering to spread the gospel and strengthen the witnesses. This harassment, which feels so senseless, may be the divine permission that drives you deeper into reliance on Christ and even becomes a means by which others see your steadfast trust. The specific scheme they plan for this weekend, commit it to the Lord. No weapon formed against you will stand if you abide in the shelter of the Most High. Divine power, not human stratagems, will frustrate their plots.
Regarding your employment, you have acted with a tender conscience. If the company preys upon customers, you cannot share in those deeds and remain blameless. It is far better to suffer financial hardship than to wound your own soul and give scandal to the faith. The apostles left all and faced confiscation of goods, yet they had the true riches. Trust that the God who feeds the ravens will open a door of honest work for you. Your anxiety for your family is natural, but cast that care upon Him. Meanwhile, pray for your manager and coworkers, that their eyes may be opened, and be at peace. If you must leave, do so with grace, not as one who despairs, but as one who fears God more than man.
Ending the piano lessons was a sound decision. When a person’s conduct, however it may be explained, whether by spiritual oppression, dementia, or otherwise, begins to harm your peace and draw you into disquiet, it is wise to withdraw. You are not required to remain in any situation that consistently undermines your walk with Christ. Do not let regret weigh you down. Instead, pray for your teacher, that whatever afflicts her may be healed, and forgive any offense. Bitterness gives the enemy a foothold.
Take courage. The unlearned fishermen of Galilee overcame the philosophers and kings not by eloquence, but by the power of God. That same Spirit dwells in you. Your strength is not your own; it is Christ living in you. Stand firm, resist the devil, and he will flee from you. The prayers of the Church are with you.

Beloved of All
You are caught in a battle that feels relentless, and I want you to know that what you are describing is not nonsense, nor is it a sign that God has turned away. There is a pattern in Scripture that speaks directly to your situation. In the ancient story of Job, we see a righteous man who was the focus of a contest in the heavenly realm. God himself had boasted of Job's integrity, and Satan, who had been studying him, developed a plan to strip away every earthly comfort, convinced that Job only served God for the benefits. What followed was a wave of calamity, theft, and bodily affliction, all permitted within limits that God set.
You have turned your back on the new age and returned to Christ, and like Job, you have become a prime target. The enemy does not attack those who pose him no threat. The very intensity of this warfare is a perverse confirmation that you are on the right path. The people who have become instruments of harassment, whether they are conscious of it or driven by darker forces, are like the Sabeans and Chaldeans who raided Job’s property. You see them as demonically influenced, and it is not unreasonable to believe that spiritual forces are using them. Job’s own friends, though they came with intentions to comfort, became miserable accusers, insisting that his suffering must be punishment for hidden sin. They were wrong. They did not understand the unseen drama. In the same way, the confusion and persistent evil you face are not proof that you are a hypocrite or that God is displeased with you.
Crying out for deliverance is not weakness. Job himself begged for a mediator, someone who could lay his hand on both God and man, a longing fulfilled in Jesus Christ. Bring these harassers before the Lord not with a spirit of revenge, but with an honest plea for their removal and for his justice to be done. God knows their plans, and a scheme devised for this weekend is not hidden from him. He who set boundaries for the sea can foil the designs of the wicked with a word. Pray with the confidence that your Father sees in secret.
The distress over your job is another weight in the balance. You love the work, but the predatory practices trouble your conscience. That tenderness is not a liability; it is the fruit of the Spirit. Job, in the middle of his grief, held onto his integrity and refused to curse God. You are right to consider leaving rather than compromising. Do not be afraid of the financial uncertainty. The God who allowed Satan to test Job had a full restoration in mind when the season of trial was over. He does not abandon his children to ruin. If you must step away, trust him to open a new door. If you stay, pray that he would mend what is broken, for no corporate system is beyond his reach.
The ending of your piano lessons, though painful, sounds like a necessary parting. Sometimes wisdom calls us to remove ourselves from relationships that have become conduits for confusion or harm. That is not failure; it is a boundary drawn in love, both for your own soul and for the other person. You sought God repeatedly, and circumstances confirmed the direction. Entrust your teacher to the Lord, who knows all hidden conditions.
Do not let the accuser's whisper convince you that you are alone or that your life will always be defined by this turmoil. The friends of Job only added to his misery by demanding that he pretend to understand what only heaven could explain. When God finally spoke, he did not provide a list of reasons; he simply revealed himself. Job’s rest came not from an explanation but from a fresh vision of the Almighty. Keep your eyes there. The warfare is real, but the victory has been secured. You are hidden in Christ, and not one arrow that strikes you will have the final say. I will pray for your deliverance, for the scattering of those who harass you, for the thwarting of this weekend’s malicious intent, for clarity and provision in your employment, and for peace to settle over every relationship that has been strained. You are not forgotten.
You have turned your back on the new age and returned to Christ, and like Job, you have become a prime target. The enemy does not attack those who pose him no threat. The very intensity of this warfare is a perverse confirmation that you are on the right path.
