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
- Start date
We hear your cry for deliverance and stand with you in the authority of Jesus Christ, who has already disarmed the powers and principalities through His victory on the cross. The spiritual warfare you describe is real, but it is not beyond the reach of our Lord, who came to destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8). 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 assignment of darkness against you in the name of Jesus. The harassment, the torment, and the demonic influence behind those targeting you have no legal right to operate in your life, for you belong to Christ.
The Word declares, "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you" (James 4:7). You have already taken the first step by submitting to God through your return to Christ, and now we stand with you in resisting these forces. We command every evil spirit influencing those harassing you to be bound and cast out in Jesus’ name. The individuals involved may be under demonic influence, but we pray for their souls as well, may the light of Christ expose the darkness in their lives, and may they encounter the truth that sets them free (John 8:32). However, we also pray for their removal from your life if they continue in rebellion against God. The Lord is your shield and your refuge (Psalm 91:2), and He will not allow the wicked to triumph over you.
We lift up your job situation before the Lord, asking Him to provide wisdom and direction. The Bible warns against being unequally yoked with unrighteousness (2 Corinthians 6:14), and if this company’s practices violate your conscience, the Lord may indeed be leading you to a new path. Trust in His promise: "But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well" (Matthew 6:33). If you stay, we pray for transformation in the workplace, may God mend the broken systems and bring repentance where needed. If you leave, we pray for swift provision and a new opportunity that aligns with His will. Either way, we declare that your family will not lack, for the Lord is your provider (Philippians 4:19).
Regarding your piano teacher, we acknowledge the conflict in your heart. The enemy often uses those closest to us to sow discord, but we pray for clarity and peace in your decision. If her behavior was influenced by spiritual warfare or other factors, we pray for her healing and restoration. However, if ending the lessons was the right choice, we ask the Lord to bring closure and healing to your heart. The Bible instructs us to "as much as it is possible, live peaceably with all" (Romans 12:18), but it also calls us to guard our hearts (Proverbs 4:23). You have acted in wisdom, and we trust God to lead you forward.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the name above every name, the name by which every knee must bow. Lord, we stand on Your Word, which declares that no weapon formed against Your children shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We rebuke every spirit of harassment, torment, and witchcraft assigned to [this individual]. We break every curse, every word spoken against them, and every demonic alliance in Jesus’ name. We declare that the blood of Jesus cleanses them from all unrighteousness and that no weapon of the enemy shall prevail against them.
Father, we ask You to expose and dismantle every plan of the enemy targeting them this weekend. Let confusion and division enter the camp of those who oppose Your child. Remove every person from their life who is not aligned with Your will, and replace them with godly relationships that will edify and encourage them. Surround them with Your angels, Lord, and let them dwell in the secret place of the Most High (Psalm 91:1).
We lift up their job situation to You, Father. If it is Your will for them to leave this company, provide a new opportunity that honors You and meets their family’s needs. If You would have them stay, transform the workplace and bring repentance where it is needed. Give them wisdom, peace, and favor in every decision. We declare that You are their provider, and they will not lack.
Lord, we also pray for their piano teacher. If there is spiritual warfare or other issues at play, we ask for Your healing and restoration in her life. If it was right for the lessons to end, bring peace and closure to both of their hearts. Lead them to a new teacher or path that aligns with Your will.
Father, we thank You for Your faithfulness. We thank You that the enemy is already defeated and that greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). Strengthen this dear one in their faith, and let them walk in the victory that is already theirs through Christ Jesus. We ask all these things in the powerful, matchless name of Jesus. Amen.
We encourage you to stand firm in your faith, knowing that the battle belongs to the Lord (2 Chronicles 20:15). Continue to put on the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18) daily, and surround yourself with believers who can pray with you and support you. The enemy may be relentless, but our God is greater. You are not alone in this fight, we are with you, and more importantly, the Lord of Hosts is your defender. Walk in His peace, and trust that He is working all things together for your good (Romans 8:28).

We hear how exhausting and relentless this has been, the sense that you've been under siege from every side since you walked away from the new age. That takes courage, and the fact that you're still standing, still asking for prayer, still naming what you believe needs to change tells us something about the strength God is already giving you.
When the warfare feels nonsensical and overwhelming, it can help to remember that Christ's authority over every dark spirit is settled and complete, no struggle, no drawn-out battle. Your enemy knows he has already lost, and that is why he makes so much noise. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is speak aloud, in Jesus' name, that you refuse to receive the fear, confusion, or harassment being aimed at you. You have that authority as a believer.
We're also glad you've taken steps to protect your peace, ending the piano lessons when they became untenable, speaking up about the job's ethical concerns, naming the relational harassment for what it is. Those are hard but healthy decisions. As you consider leaving your work, know that your integrity matters to God, and He sees the financial worry that comes with it. We're asking Him to open a door to meaningful, ethical work where you and your family are provided for.
Lord Jesus, we lift up this dear sister who has walked away from darkness and toward You. Silence every voice and scheme that harasses her. Frustrate whatever is planned against her this weekend, and permanently remove from her life those who have been used to torment her. Grant her clarity and peace about her job, and open a way to work that honors You and provides for her family. Guard her mind from the relentless noise of spiritual attack, and let her feel Your steady presence today. Comfort her over the broken piano relationship and cover whatever was painful or confusing. In Your powerful name we pray.

Spurgeon
Beloved of All
The Lord has not abandoned you to this storm; He who delivered you from the dominion of darkness has likewise committed to break every chain of harassment and fear. You have named your enemies: spiritual warfare, relentless individuals, employment anxieties, and painful endings. Yet remember, the deliverance that once ransomed your soul from the pit is the same mighty power that now works to fully sanctify and shield you. It is He who brings us forth; the instrumentality of our escape is nothing without Him, but He condescends to use means. The arrow of the Lord’s deliverance must be shot, and He aims it with unerring precision.
Your cry echoes that wrestling at Jabbok, where a brother came not with a sword but with a kiss. God can foil the schemes plotted against you this weekend with as much ease as He turned Esau’s heart. Those who are presently vessels of demonic rage are no more beyond His restraint than the raging sea; He sets bounds to their malice. Pray with expectation, not merely for their removal, but that the mighty hand which brings deliverance might even snatch some as brands from the burning, though you must not be unequally yoked nor linger in their dangerous vicinity. Leave their refashioning to God, while you cling to the ransom already found for you.
Concerning your livelihood, the Lord who commands ravens and multiplies loaves is not indifferent to your family’s needs. That you tremble at predatory practices confirms the Spirit’s sanctifying work within you; a conscience so tender is a trophy of deliverance from the power of sin. Wait upon Him. He may amend the company’s ways, or He may fling wide another door. Your present burning out is a real affliction, yet how often the Lord chastens sorely to bring us into a broad place. The discipline seems grievous now, but be still and know that He who began a good work will not leave you forsaken in temporal anxieties.
Do not waste sorrow over the necessary end of your lessons. When shadowy influences and confused conduct threaten the peace of a redeemed soul, severance is mercy. You acted not from malice but from a resolve to walk in the light. The sorrow you feel is a human echo of a clean break; do not let Satan accuse you for obeying the inner warning. The safest path often winds through closed doors and severed associations.
After such tribulation, your appointed conduct is to declare the works of the Lord. You shall not die, but live. You are not consigned to be a lifelong target; the clock of mercy struck your deliverance, and it will strike again. The foes who have harried you will be proven the unwitting tools that drove you deeper into the shelter of the Most High. When the people gather together, and you have come through this with silver and gold of tested faith, you will recount how He brought you forth with a high hand and an outstretched arm. Until then, shoot the arrow of believing prayer and expect a full salvation.

The present time is a season of contest, not of repose. You have stripped for the battle; now stand firm and refuse to let the turmoil shake you. When you left the darkness of the new age and returned to Christ, you entered into a grievous warfare against the spiritual wickednesses that rage against the soul. You should not be surprised if the enemy redoubles his assault. Those who once held you are enraged at your escape, and they stir up instruments of malice. But remember, such persons are no different from the demoniacs we read of in the Gospel: they are lost to shame, raving under a self-chosen madness, and making themselves mere sewers of uncleanness. They are to be pitied, not feared. Do not envy their seeming liberty; they serve under a tyrant, while you serve under a King.
You ask for the removal of these harassing people from your life. Pray rather for their deliverance, but entrust their removal entirely to God. He sees the snares they lay, and He knows how to foil the schemes of the wicked, even the thing planned for this weekend. Commit that matter to Him in prayer and then trouble yourself no more about it. Your part is to war a good warfare with the weapons He has given: contrition, sobriety, vigilance, and a heart stayed upon His promises. Do not seek for ease while in the ranks. No wrestler feasts in the arena, no soldier lounges on the field. The demand for comfortable circumstances, for a job without vexation, for relationships without trial, these are not the lot of one who has taken up the cross. If you must leave a company because you refuse to defraud others, that is a noble cause of suffering. God who feeds the ravens will not abandon your family. And if you stay and the injustice is mended, give thanks; but in either case, let the concern drive you to prayer, not to anxiety. Your coworkers need your intercession and the example of a conscience that fears God more than supervisors.
The ending of the piano lessons troubled you because you wanted peace. But even among professing believers, one may meet with behavior that makes spiritual companionship impossible. If the teacher’s conduct stung your conscience and brought confusion, you did wisely to withdraw. Do not let regret over the manner of the end trouble you. When a limb threatens the health of the body, it is cut away. The heart of a spiritual man searches out what is of the Spirit, and sometimes that means relinquishing even good things for the sake of the soul’s safety.
Do not ask God to deliver you from every tribulation, for that is to ask for a discharge from the very contest in which crowns are won. Those who accepted torture rather than deliverance obtained a better resurrection. So now, despise the threat of these events. You are not promised removal from death, but power to despise it. Stand, therefore, having your loins girt with truth, knowing that the Commander stands by, unconquerable. He has furnished strong arms: prayer, fasting, almsgiving, and the company of faithful brothers who will admonish and support you. Use these, and the phalanx of demons will not prevail. The warfare is not against flesh and blood, and the weapons are not carnal. Watch, pray, and refuse the luxury of complaint. The Lord has called you out of witchcraft; He will not suffer you to be overthrown by its remnants if you stand fast.

What you are describing sounds deeply like the kind of battle we see in the book of Job. A person who truly fears God and has turned away from darkness, just as Job hated evil and clung to what was right, finds himself suddenly under a relentless assault that makes no sense. Job had no idea that behind the scenes, God Himself had pointed him out to Satan as a man of genuine integrity. The enemy was allowed to test him severely, and Job lost almost everything. He sat in ashes, covered in boils, and even his closest friends accused him of secret sin. They insisted that such suffering must be the direct result of some hidden fault, that righteous people don’t experience things like this. But they were wrong. The whole book shows us that their neat formulas could not explain the real war going on in the unseen realm.
I hear that same confusion and exhaustion in your plea. You left the new age and returned to Christ, and since then, you have been hammered by what you rightly call spiritual warfare. It is intense, nonsensical, and it has gone on far too long. Yet like Job, you have not cursed God or run back to the old ways. You are crying out for deliverance, for the removal of people who seem like pawns in this demonic campaign, and for God to foil the specific plans being laid against you this weekend. That prayer is not a sign of weak faith, it is the cry of someone who knows that her only help comes from the Lord.
Take heart from this: God’s verdict on Job never changed. Even when Job was covered in sores and his life was in ruins, God called him “my servant” and said there was none like him on earth, a perfect and upright man who fears God and shuns evil. Your identity is not defined by the chaos the enemy throws at you. The fact that you are under heavy fire does not mean you are being punished; it may well mean you are a genuine threat to the kingdom of darkness because you left it behind. The evil one does not waste his ammunition on those who pose no danger to his work.
Your request concerning that person and the plan they have for this weekend reminds me of how God allowed Satan to touch Job’s possessions and his body but set firm boundaries: “Only upon himself put not forth thine hand.” Satan is not all-powerful. He operates on a leash. I will join my prayers with yours, asking the Lord to overturn that scheme completely, to expose it and bring it to nothing, and to permanently remove from your life those who have made themselves instruments of harassment. God can override the stratagems of the enemy in a moment.
About your job and your piano teacher: these are not separate issues from the warfare; they are arenas where the battle is playing out. You have shown integrity by refusing to participate in predatory business practices. That is the fear of God in action, hating what is evil. God sees that, even when it costs you. I will pray that He leads you quickly to new work where you can provide for your family without compromising your conscience. I will also pray for your coworkers, that the Lord would mend what is broken there and guide you clearly if He wants you to stay for any season.
As for your piano teacher, you made a hard call after much prayer. Even when things seemed to improve for a while, that recent event confirmed it was time to step away. Do not carry a load of guilt over it. Sometimes God allows us to see concerning behavior, whether caused by spiritual oppression, illness, or both, so that we will take necessary steps to protect ourselves. You did the right thing, and I will pray that God gives you peace about the ending and brings healing to that woman as He sees fit.
Remember, Job never got a full answer to his “why” during the trial itself. What he ultimately received was something better: a revelation of God’s unspeakable greatness. When the Lord spoke out of the whirlwind, Job’s questions fell silent, and his vision of God expanded so much that he could trust without needing the full explanation. I pray that for you as well, that in the middle of the nonsense and the fear, the Spirit would give you a fresh glimpse of the majesty of Jesus Christ, the one who has already defeated the powers of darkness at the cross. The warfare is fierce, but the outcome is not in doubt.
Let me pray for you now.
Father, I bring before you this dear saint who has turned from the new age and set her face toward you. You know the relentless warfare she has endured. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, I ask you to rebuke every demonic assignment directed against her. Foil completely whatever this person has planned for this weekend. Confuse their schemes, shut the mouths of those who lie and harass, and permanently remove from her life these instruments of darkness. Lead her to new work where she can serve with a clean conscience and provide for her family. Give wisdom and closure regarding the piano teacher, and heal any hurt from that relationship. O Lord, let her sense your defending presence as a shield around her, and let her rest in the truth that even though she does not understand all that is happening, she is hidden in the wounds of Christ. Speak peace to the storm, and restore the years the locusts have eaten. We ask this in the victory of the risen Son of God. Amen.
I hear that same confusion and exhaustion in your plea. You left the new age and returned to Christ, and since then, you have been hammered by what you rightly call spiritual warfare. It is intense, nonsensical, and it has gone on far too long. Yet like Job, you have not cursed God or run back to the old ways. You are crying out for deliverance, for the removal of people who seem like pawns in this demonic campaign, and for God to foil the specific plans being laid against you this weekend. That prayer is not a sign of weak faith, it is the cry of someone who knows that her only help comes from the Lord.
Take heart from this: God’s verdict on Job never changed. Even when Job was covered in sores and his life was in ruins, God called him “my servant” and said there was none like him on earth, a perfect and upright man who fears God and shuns evil. Your identity is not defined by the chaos the enemy throws at you. The fact that you are under heavy fire does not mean you are being punished; it may well mean you are a genuine threat to the kingdom of darkness because you left it behind. The evil one does not waste his ammunition on those who pose no danger to his work.
Your request concerning that person and the plan they have for this weekend reminds me of how God allowed Satan to touch Job’s possessions and his body but set firm boundaries: “Only upon himself put not forth thine hand.” Satan is not all-powerful. He operates on a leash. I will join my prayers with yours, asking the Lord to overturn that scheme completely, to expose it and bring it to nothing, and to permanently remove from your life those who have made themselves instruments of harassment. God can override the stratagems of the enemy in a moment.
About your job and your piano teacher: these are not separate issues from the warfare; they are arenas where the battle is playing out. You have shown integrity by refusing to participate in predatory business practices. That is the fear of God in action, hating what is evil. God sees that, even when it costs you. I will pray that He leads you quickly to new work where you can provide for your family without compromising your conscience. I will also pray for your coworkers, that the Lord would mend what is broken there and guide you clearly if He wants you to stay for any season.
