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 abundantly (John 10:10). You are not alone in this battle, and we take up the full armor of God with you, knowing that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms (Ephesians 6:12).
First, we rebuke every demonic assignment sent against you in the mighty name of Jesus. The blood of Jesus has already broken every curse, and no weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We command every spirit of harassment, torment, and oppression to flee from you now. The individuals targeting you are being used as vessels of darkness, but their power is nothing compared to the name of Jesus. We pray that God would expose their deeds to the light, confound their plans, and remove them from your life permanently. If they refuse to repent, we ask that the Lord would bind their actions and render them powerless to harm you further. "The Lord will cause your enemies who rise up against you to be defeated 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 witnessed, and we commend you for seeking to walk in integrity. The Lord sees your financial concerns and your desire to provide for your family. We pray that He would open doors of opportunity that align with His will for you, where you can work with a clear conscience and without compromise. If it is His will for you to stay, we ask that He would mend the broken systems, bring conviction to those in leadership, and restore your peace in that environment. If it is His will for you to leave, we trust that He will provide for your needs according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19). "Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him, and He will act" (Psalm 37:5).
Regarding your piano teacher, we acknowledge the discernment the Lord has given you. It is not easy to walk away from relationships, especially when there are complexities like spiritual warfare or potential health struggles involved. However, your decision to prioritize your spiritual and emotional well-being is wise. We pray that the Lord would bring healing and clarity to her situation, whether that be through repentance, medical intervention, or divine intervention. We also ask that He would lead you to a teacher or community where you can grow in your gifts without fear or discomfort. "Do not be misled: 'Bad company corrupts good character'" (1 Corinthians 15:33).
Now, we pray with you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, the name above every name, the name by which every knee must bow. We thank You for Your deliverance and for the victory You have already secured over the enemy. Lord, we ask that You would break every chain of spiritual warfare that has been waged against [this individual]. Send Your angels to encamp around them, to guard and protect them from every evil scheme. We rebuke every spirit of torment, harassment, and oppression, and we command them to flee in Jesus’ name. Expose the works of darkness and bring to light the deeds of those who seek to harm Your child.
Father, we ask that You would remove from their life every person who is being used as a vessel of the enemy. Confound their plans, scatter their gatherings, and let them be powerless to carry out their wicked intentions. If there is any repentance in their hearts, draw them to Yourself, but if they continue in hardness, let Your justice prevail. We trust in Your promise that no weapon formed against Your children shall prosper.
Lord, we lift up their job situation to You. You know the burdens they carry, the financial concerns, and the desire to walk in integrity. We ask that You would provide clarity and direction. If it is Your will for them to stay, mend the broken systems and bring peace to their workplace. If it is Your will for them to leave, open doors of opportunity that align with Your purpose for their life. Provide for their every need, Lord, and let them experience Your faithfulness in tangible ways.
Regarding their piano teacher, we ask that You would bring resolution to this situation. Comfort their heart as they walk away, and give them peace in their decision. We pray for their teacher, that You would minister to her spirit and bring healing where it is needed. Lead them to a community where they can grow in their gifts without fear or hindrance.
Father, we thank You for the authority we have in Jesus’ name. We declare that [this individual] is covered by the blood of Christ, sealed by the Holy Spirit, and protected by Your mighty hand. Strengthen them in their faith, fill them with Your peace, and let them walk in the freedom that is theirs in Christ. We trust in You, Lord, for You are faithful and true. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to stand firm in your faith, knowing that the battle has already been won. The enemy may roar like a lion, but he is a defeated foe (1 Peter 5:8). Continue to put on the full armor of God daily, truth, righteousness, the gospel of peace, faith, salvation, and the Word of God, so that you may stand against the schemes of the devil (Ephesians 6:11-17). Surround yourself with believers who can pray with you and encourage you, for where two or three gather in Jesus’ name, He is there with them (Matthew 18:20).
You are not defined by the warfare you’ve endured, but by the victory you have in Christ. The Lord is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). Keep your eyes fixed on Him, and do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season, you will reap a harvest if you do not give up (Galatians 6:9). The Lord is fighting for you, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6). Walk in the freedom that is yours in Christ, and trust that He is working all things together for your good (Romans 8:28).

We can hear how worn down you are, the sheer relentlessness of it, the senselessness, and the weariness of feeling targeted for so long. You aren’t alone in this, and we’re taking your request seriously.
When the spiritual assault feels constant, one thing that has helped many believers is to intentionally refocus not on the battle itself, but on the settled truth of God’s love for you. Even a few quiet moments each day, just sitting with the reality that you are held by a love stronger than any opposition, can begin to quiet the terror in your mind and body. It’s not a magic formula, but it’s a way of letting your heart rest in what is more real than the threats you feel. We’d encourage you to try that when the fear spikes: pause and remind yourself, “I am safe in Christ, and no evil can snatch me from His hand.” That simple practice can help break the cycle of panic.
We also want to honor the integrity you showed at your job. Walking away from a paycheck because the company’s practices don’t honor Christ is brave and costly. You’re carrying heavy financial worry right now, and that alone is exhausting. Please know that your worth isn’t defined by your ability to provide, God sees your faithfulness, and He will not abandon your family. In the short term, it may help to sit down with a pastor or a wise friend from church to talk through a simple plan for the next few weeks. You don’t have to figure it all out alone.
Lord Jesus, we ask You to shield this beloved believer from every scheme meant to harm them this weekend and beyond. Frustrate the plans of those who harass them, and in Your mercy, remove destructive influences from their life. We pray for clear, ethical work to open up soon, and for Your provision to be tangible. Calm the internal storm with Your perfect love. We ask healing and truth for all involved, including the ###, and that Your peace would reign in this home. In Your name, amen.

The warfare you describe is indeed intense, but let faith lay hold of this: He who brought you forth from the bondage of the new age will not forsake you now. The lock of darkness went desperately hard, but it has been opened. The enemy shoots his arrows of ecclesiastical discord and personal malice, but you have a deliverance that is already accomplished in Christ. Cry to Him who hears the prisoner; say with the Psalmist, “Thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.” He will yet foil the plans of those who trouble you, as He turned the heart of Esau. Perhaps the very ones you dread shall be made to fall upon your neck. But if not, remember: no weapon formed against you shall prosper, and the arrows of the Lord’s deliverance shall strike the target.
As for your employment, your tender conscience does you honour. You cannot take part in predatory practices, this is the fruit of your deliverance from the power of sin. The Lord who found a ransom for your soul will also supply your temporal needs. He brought Israel forth with silver and gold; He will not leave you destitute. Wait upon Him, and if He calls you to stay, pray that the concerns be mended. If He leads you out, trust for new work. In all, let your heart be fixed: He who delivered you from the pit will deliver you from every strait.
You did rightly to end those lessons when they became a snare. The Lord sanctifies us wholly; deliverance from guilt and deliverance from unholy influences are both His work. Do not look back with sorrow overmuch, but press on. After all these trials, take up your testimony: “I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.” This is the believer’s conduct after trouble, declare what He has done. Go now to the armoury, put on the panoply, and wield the sword, for you are called to a holy warfare, but the victory is certain. The Lord has delivered, does deliver, and will deliver yet again. To His name be praise.

Chrysostom
Beloved of All
You are undergoing a fierce and unrelenting storm, as is common for those who have fled the darkness and set their faces toward the light. Do not imagine that after you abandoned the new age and witchcraft, you would immediately enter a quiet harbor; rather, you have only exchanged one set of waves for another, for the enemy rages precisely because he has lost a captive. Recall the patriarch Abraham: after God called him, he encountered famine, the violent seizure of his wife, and many other trials, yet also deliverances and blessings, all woven together in a single chain. So it is with you. The spiritual warfare you describe is not a sign of God's absence but of the devil's desperation, and the Lord permits it to strengthen your soul.
Those who harass you are acting under demonic influence, and their behavior is indeed like the demoniac who goes about naked, cutting himself with stones. Yet do not let hatred or terror consume you; rather, pity them, for they are enslaved and blind. Pray that God would foil the plans of the one scheming against you this weekend, and trust that He is able to thwart every trap, just as He limited Satan in the case of Job. Remember that the wicked one can do nothing except what divine permission allows, and the loss of goods or reputation is nothing compared to the loss of the soul. Cry out with Job, "The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord," and the enemy's devices will be brought to nothing.
Concerning your work, if the company's practices are predatory and you cannot in good conscience take part, then the path is clear: you must not make provision for the flesh to fulfill its lusts, nor cling to any gain at the cost of your soul. But do not be overwhelmed with anxiety about how you will provide for your family. Why are you curious about the end of all things or the details of tomorrow? The end of each person's life is the consummation that truly matters. Your heavenly Father knows your needs; seek first His kingdom, and He will supply what is necessary. If you can remain with a clear conscience, pray that God mend the concerns, but if you must leave, do so in peace, trusting that He who feeds the ravens will care for your household.
As for your piano teacher, you have acted prudently by ending the lessons. Do not trouble yourself with guilt; the uncomfortable behaviors you noted, whether from spiritual oppression, illness, or other causes, made it necessary to separate for the sake of your own peace. Having prayed and sought wisdom, you made a decision; now leave the outcome to God.
Above all, consider that this present life is a dream. The evils that now press upon you, the weariness, the schemes of the wicked, all these will pass away like the phantoms of the night. But your soul, if it is kept pure and steadfast, will inherit eternal rest. Therefore, do not let these things drive you to despair or provoke you to utter any word of complaint against the Lord. Instead, examine your own heart daily, repent of any known sin, and hear Christ say to you, "Behold, thou art made whole; sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee." The warfare you endure may be fiery, but it is also a furnace to burn away dross and leave genuine gold. Stand firm, give thanks in the midst of it, and cling to the one true Hope. Your deliverance is nearer than you think.

Beloved of All
The torment you describe sounds relentless, and I hear the exhaustion in your words. What you are experiencing is not foreign to Scripture. You are under a sustained attack, and the enemy often intensifies his assault when a soul escapes his grip. The move away from spiritual darkness stirs a vicious retaliation, much like the hidden account at the start of Job’s story. Job had no idea that a controversy was being waged over him in the heavenly places. He only saw the ash heap, the broken pottery, and the unbearable physical and relational devastation. He could feel the presence of ruin but could not see the permission behind it. You have been given an insight that Job lacked at the time: you recognize the demonic source behind the actors in your life. That clarity is a gift, but it can also become a trap if you start trying to track every evil scheme or diagnose the exact spiritual condition of your harassers.
Job’s friends made that mistake. They observed his misery and concluded with absolute certainty that it signified hidden sin or a specific, punishable fault. They were judging from partial knowledge, and the Bible is clear that their analysis was completely wrong. Be careful not to fall into the same snare with the people who trouble you. You firmly believe this person has a strong demonic force and that they are practically the devil incarnate. I do not doubt the demonic influence, but do not let your own suffering lead you to make final, unchangeable pronouncements about their soul. The statements Job made while scraping himself with a potsherd were not divinely inspired doctrine; they were the honest, raw, and sometimes factually incorrect cries of a man in agony. Do not allow the pain they have caused to shape an ultimate theology of their fate. The Lord still saves the poor from the sword and the mouth from the mighty. Hate the wickedness, flee the instruments of it, and beg God to remove them from your life, but leave their final judgment to the one who sees the whole story.
Your prayer to be freed from whatever is planned for this weekend is a cry for a daysman, a mediator who can lay his hand on both God and man. Job cried out for exactly that. He felt he could not see God, could not touch him, and that God was terrifyingly unknowable. We stand on the other side of the cross. Jesus Christ is the answer to Job’s deepest longing. You do not face this weekend alone or outmatched. The sovereign God who permitted the trial is not panicked by the schemes of a deranged social circle. He sets limits, just as he did when he told Satan, “Behold, he is in your hand, but spare his life.” I am praying specifically that God will foil this plan so thoroughly that it turns into an absurd, powerless nothing and that a hedge will surround you, making the wicked’s intent fall to the ground.
Regarding your company’s predatory practices and your piano teacher, you are showing the same kind of integrity Job did when he refused to curse God. You are not willing to profit from evil. That is a costly grace. It is wearying to have to walk away from work you love and relationships you invested in, but I pray God will lead you to new work where you are not burning out or forced to violate your conscience. The warfare has certainly used human vulnerability, perhaps even dementia or neurological issues in your teacher, to drain you. You are not wrong to end what has become a conduit of harm. Sometimes to be at peace, as Eliphaz rightly noted in better counsel, we must acquaint ourselves only with what God is doing and close the door on chaos.
It might feel right now that your days are a shadow and that there is no answer to the “why.” Job did not receive a detailed explanation of the spiritual backroom deals that caused his pain. God never told him about the bragging in heaven. Instead, God revealed himself, and Job’s narrow perspective was shattered by a vision of infinite sovereignty. When he saw God for who he truly is, the need for a specific answer dissolved into trust. I am praying with you that God will step into all these situations with that same interrupting power, mending what is broken, permanently removing the wicked from troubling you, and giving you a season where the only thing overwhelming you is the goodness of the Lord.
Job’s friends made that mistake. They observed his misery and concluded with absolute certainty that it signified hidden sin or a specific, punishable fault. They were judging from partial knowledge, and the Bible is clear that their analysis was completely wrong. Be careful not to fall into the same snare with the people who trouble you. You firmly believe this person has a strong demonic force and that they are practically the devil incarnate. I do not doubt the demonic influence, but do not let your own suffering lead you to make final, unchangeable pronouncements about their soul. The statements Job made while scraping himself with a potsherd were not divinely inspired doctrine; they were the honest, raw, and sometimes factually incorrect cries of a man in agony. Do not allow the pain they have caused to shape an ultimate theology of their fate. The Lord still saves the poor from the sword and the mouth from the mighty. Hate the wickedness, flee the instruments of it, and beg God to remove them from your life, but leave their final judgment to the one who sees the whole story.
Your prayer to be freed from whatever is planned for this weekend is a cry for a daysman, a mediator who can lay his hand on both God and man. Job cried out for exactly that. He felt he could not see God, could not touch him, and that God was terrifyingly unknowable. We stand on the other side of the cross. Jesus Christ is the answer to Job’s deepest longing. You do not face this weekend alone or outmatched. The sovereign God who permitted the trial is not panicked by the schemes of a deranged social circle.
