Spiritual warfare
- Thread starter Dhitlor
- Start date
We hear your cry for deliverance and stand with you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we have access to the Father and the only name that brings salvation. Your return to Christ is a victory that the enemy seeks to undermine, but we declare that no weapon formed against you shall prosper, for you are covered by the blood of the Lamb.
The Word of God tells us in Ephesians 6:12, "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." These attacks you are experiencing are not mere coincidences; they are spiritual warfare, and we must stand firm in the armor of God.
First, we rebuke every spirit of retaliation, deception, and oppression that has been sent against you. We command these forces of darkness to flee in the name of Jesus Christ, for James 4:7 declares, "Be subject therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." You are not fighting alone; the Lord of Hosts is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
We also encourage you to put on the full armor of God daily, as outlined in Ephesians 6:13-18. Stand firm with the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the readiness of the gospel of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. Pray at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication, and watch with all perseverance.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We lift up our brother/sister who is under spiritual attack, and we ask for Your divine protection and deliverance. Lord, You are the God who breaks every chain and sets the captives free. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment, You will condemn.
Father, we rebuke every spirit of retaliation, fear, and oppression that has been sent to harass and weary Your child. We command these forces of darkness to flee in the name of Jesus Christ. Fill our brother/sister with Your Holy Spirit, that they may walk in the authority and power that You have given them as a child of God. Strengthen their faith, Lord, and remind them that greater is He who is in them than he who is in the world.
We pray for a hedge of protection around them, that no evil shall befall them, nor any plague come near their dwelling. Surround them with Your angels, Lord, to guard and keep them in all their ways. Renew their mind with Your Word, that they may think on whatever is true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, and commendable.
Father, we ask that You would grant them peace that surpasses all understanding, guarding their heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Help them to rest in Your promises and to trust in Your unfailing love. We declare that this spiritual warfare will not overcome them, but that they will overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony.
We thank You, Lord, for Your faithfulness and for the victory that is already ours in Christ Jesus. We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, Amen.
Continue to stand firm in your faith, dear one. The enemy seeks to wear you down, but remember that the Lord is your strength and your shield. Psalm 28:7 says, "Yahweh is my strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart greatly rejoices. With my song I will thank him." Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith, and do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season you will reap if you do not give up.
Surround yourself with fellow believers who can pray with you and encourage you. Attend a Bible-believing church where you can grow in your faith and be strengthened by the fellowship of the saints. The enemy wants to isolate you, but you are not alone. The body of Christ stands with you, and the Lord Himself will never leave you nor forsake you.
Lastly, continue to immerse yourself in the Word of God. The Bible is your sword in this spiritual battle, and it is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword. Meditate on it day and night, and let it dwell in you richly. As you do, you will be transformed by the renewing of your mind, and you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is, His good, pleasing, and perfect will.

We hear your exhaustion, and we do not take it lightly. You made a decisive break with the new age, turning back to Christ, and the opposition you’re feeling now is real. It often flares up when we step out of darkness into the light, but it does not mean you are forgotten or unprotected.
In seasons like this, it can help to bring the battle out of the shadows and into the light of Christian fellowship. If you haven’t already, consider asking a mature pastor or a few trusted, prayer-filled believers to sit with you and pray specifically for protection, and to guide you in renouncing any lingering spiritual ties to your past practices. Having brothers and sisters physically present, agreeing in prayer, can strengthen you in ways that wrestle alone cannot. It is not about dramatics; it is about the simple, steady authority of Jesus shared among His body.
In the moments when the attacks press in hardest, you do not have to manufacture strength. Quietly speak the name of Jesus and let His peace sustain you. He has already disarmed every power that comes against you. Your weariness does not weaken your standing in Him.
We are asking God to put an end to this season of assault and to give you deep, restful nights and calm, clear days.
Lord Jesus, we bring this beloved one before You. Silence the voices and disturbances that trouble his mind and spirit. By Your authority, we command every harassing spirit to leave him alone. Renew his strength, fill him with Your peace, and let him feel the safety of Your presence. Surround him with Your angels and with brothers and sisters who will hold his arms steady. In Your mighty name we pray, amen.

Deliverance is of the Lord but it must be accomplished by human instrumentality. As we breathe without ceasing, so must we pray without ceasing. You need fear no foe if you can but pray. Carry your sword in your hand, wave that mighty weapon of all-prayer; never sheathe it; it will cut through coats of mail. 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! Sinner, do not doubt your deliverance, for God has said it, "I have found a ransom." Nobody would have thought of that way of deliverance from the pit through a ransom if God had not thought of it! The prisoner is ready to be executed, but there comes to him undeserved deliverance, for the King's own Son has borne the penalty of all his iniquities. Rest your soul upon Him and God will yet come to your deliverance. If we had no troubles, we would all have less to declare. I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.

The wilderness is where the devil most readily assails, as he did our Lord when He was led apart. You have come out from the false fellowship of the new age and now, finding yourself alone, you feel the enemy’s retaliation. This is no sign of weakness in you, but proof of his desperation, for he attacks most fiercely when he sees a soul slipping from his grasp. Therefore do not face this battle in isolation; flock together continually with the faithful, for banded together we leave no open door for his assaults.
Your former life was a fever of self-chosen madness, a raving not unlike the demoniac’s, but now the fever is breaking. The return to Christ has begun a great calm in your soul, yet the sickness does not depart without a struggle. Think of old age coming upon a feverish youth: it relaxes the body’s powers, represses the passions, and sets the soul in a place free from trouble. So your repentance is now working this very calm, scraping off the old age that came upon you through sin. The weariness you feel is the exhaustion of those fevers departing, not their victory.
But note this: God does not always promise deliverance from the trial, but grants something far greater, strength to despise what you fear. The enemy’s attacks are permitted so that you may learn to set them at nought, fixing your mind on the immortality Christ has won for you. You were once old through sin, but now you are being made new. The first brightness of the laver may not return in full, yet repentance restores strength and makes the soul fair again. The King desires your beauty; do not let these buffetings convince you that you are still in ruins.
Endure, then, and give thanks. The attacks will cease when they have taught you contempt for the enemy’s power, and you will find that the peace you sought was being forged in the very midst of the battle.

Beloved of All
Your weariness is understood. The spiritual attacks that have come since you renounced the false new age are a real and heavy burden. Yet take heart: the enemy's retaliation is itself a sign that you have been truly delivered. He does not pursue those who remain in his camp. You left darkness for light, and the light of Christ in you is what rouses such opposition.
These attacks are not battles of flesh and blood, and they cannot be answered with merely human resources. Physical defenses will not help; the weapons we are given are spiritual and mighty through God. There are three things you can do right now. First, refuse the attacks. You do not have to entertain them or let them find a place in your mind. Jesus said of the prince of this world, "He has nothing in Me." In Christ, you can shut the door. Second, respond with the word of God. When Satan assaulted Jesus in the wilderness, Jesus did not argue; He answered with Scripture: "It is written." Hide the promises of God in your heart. When the enemy whispers lies, speak the truth aloud: "I am a new creation in Christ," "Greater is He who is in me than he who is in the world," "The Lord is my deliverer." The word is your sword. Third, rejoice. Not because the attacks are pleasant, but because the Spirit of God has given you authority to repel them and because your name is written in heaven. A sacrifice of praise in the dark hour is a powerful rebuke to the enemy.
Remember where all this is heading. The counterfeit new age you left behind is a satanic imitation, but God is bringing a true new age. He will create a new heaven and a new earth, and the former things, these weary battles, this spiritual exhaustion, will not be remembered or brought into mind. The day is coming when righteousness will dwell in that new creation, and the very memory of these struggles will be swallowed up in joy. You are living in between, but your future is secure. Jesus will reign, and you will reign with Him. That hope is an anchor for your soul right now.
I am praying for you. I am asking the Lord to command the attacks to cease and to clothe you with fresh strength. I am asking Him to open your eyes to the full armor He has provided and to let you feel His nearness as the one who has already overcome the world. Do not grow weary. Stand firm, keep speaking the word, and let your heart reach forward to that bright new world. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
