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 restoration, and we stand with you in fervent prayer, taking authority in the name of Jesus Christ. 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 have it abundantly (John 10:10). We rebuke every demonic assignment against you in Jesus’ name. The Word declares, "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you" (James 4:7). You are not alone in this battle; the Lord is your refuge and fortress, your God in whom you trust (Psalm 91:2).
The harassment you’ve endured from these individuals is not of God. We renounce any foothold the enemy has gained through their actions and declare their schemes null and void. The Bible warns, "Do not be deceived. Evil companions corrupt good morals" (1 Corinthians 15:33). We pray for their removal from your life, not out of bitterness, but for your protection and peace. The Lord sees their wickedness and will judge justly (Romans 12:19). We also pray for their eyes to be opened to the truth of Christ, that they might repent and turn from darkness to light (Acts 26:18).
Your concern about your job is valid, and we lift this burden before the Lord. Proverbs 16:3 reminds us, "Commit your deeds to the Lord, and your plans shall succeed." If this workplace is not aligned with godly principles, we trust the Lord to open a door for you that no man can shut (Revelation 3:8). We pray for wisdom as you seek His will, whether to stay or go, and for provision for your family. The Lord knows your needs before you ask Him (Matthew 6:8), and He is faithful to provide.
Regarding your piano teacher, we acknowledge the discernment the Holy Spirit has given you. While we pray for her well-being and any spiritual or physical struggles she may face, we affirm your decision to prioritize your peace and spiritual safety. The enemy often uses those closest to us to sow discord, but God’s Word instructs us to "have no fellowship with the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but rather even reprove them" (Ephesians 5:11). You have acted in wisdom.
Let us pray:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the Name above all names. We declare that [your name] is covered by the blood of Jesus and sealed by the Holy Spirit. We break every chain of spiritual warfare, harassment, and demonic influence over [your name]’s life. We command every evil spirit assigned against [your name] to flee now in Jesus’ name. We cancel every plan of the enemy and declare that no weapon formed against [your name] shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17).
Lord, we ask You to remove every ungodly person from [your name]’s life who does not align with Your will. Surround [your name] with godly influences, mentors, and friends who will encourage and uplift. We pray for the individuals involved in this harassment, that their eyes would be opened to the truth of the Gospel and that they would turn from their wicked ways.
Father, we lift up [your name]’s job situation. Give [your name] clarity and peace about the next steps. If it is Your will for [your name] to leave this job, provide a new opportunity that honors You and meets [your name]’s needs. If it is Your will for [your name] to stay, we ask that You mend the concerns and issues within the workplace and bring unity and godliness among the staff. Provide for [your name]’s family abundantly, Lord, and let [your name] trust in Your unfailing love.
We also pray for [your name]’s piano teacher. Lord, we ask that You would minister to her heart, whether through conviction, healing, or deliverance. If there is spiritual warfare at play, we break its power over her life. If there are physical or neurological issues, we ask for Your healing touch. Draw her closer to You, Lord, and let her walk in the light of Your truth.
Finally, Lord, we ask that You fill [your name] with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Strengthen [your name]’s faith and remind [your name] that You are a present help in times of trouble (Psalm 46:1). Let [your name] rest in the assurance that You are fighting this battle and that victory is already won through Christ Jesus.
We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayers and for Your faithfulness. We trust in Your perfect timing and Your perfect will. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.
Take heart, dear one. The Lord is your shield and your defender. You are not fighting this battle alone, He is with you, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6). Continue to stand firm in your faith, and do not grow weary in doing good (Galatians 6:9). The enemy’s attacks may seem relentless, but greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). Walk in the authority you have in Christ, and trust that He is working all things together for your good (Romans 8:28).

We hear how exhausting this has been for you, the relentless nature of the warfare, the weight of having to end the piano lessons, and the anxiety about work and providing for your family. When you've been under spiritual attack for so long, even small decisions can feel overwhelming, and we don't want to minimize how much you're carrying.
One thing that stands out to us is your instinct to keep moving toward what is right, even when it's hard, leaving the new age behind, walking away from a job that requires you to compromise, ending a teaching relationship when it became unhealthy. That takes real courage, and it's worth naming that you've been making costly but faithful choices under fire. That matters.
We also want to gently offer this: as C.S. Lewis wisely noted, there are two equal errors when it comes to spiritual warfare, disbelieving in the demonic entirely, and developing an excessive, unhealthy preoccupation with it. When you've been targeted for years, it's natural to develop a kind of radar for who might be under dark influence. But sometimes the exhaustion comes not only from the attack itself but from the strain of constantly trying to discern and track exactly who is being used and how. If any part of you is worn down by that watchfulness, we simply encourage you to place the whole situation, including the person planning something this weekend, under Christ's authority and then let yourself rest in his watchfulness rather than your own. You don't have to figure out every detail of what they're doing or why they're not being held accountable. You only need to stay close to Jesus.
A practical step: when harassment or intrusive thoughts about these people come, you can speak out loud, with calm authority, something simple like, "In the name of Jesus Christ, I command any spirit sent against me to leave and not return. I belong to him." You don't need to argue with the enemy or name every demon. Your word as a believer, grounded in Christ's victory, carries real authority. And you can ask a trusted, mature Christian or two to pray with you in person or over the phone, specifically for this weekend and for lasting relief from the harassment.
We also want to honor what you said about work. Leaving a job you love because you can't in good conscience participate in predatory practices is painful and financially frightening. Meeting with your manager was a wise step, and we pray that whether you stay or go, God provides for your family with unexpected clarity and provision.
Lord Jesus, we ask you to shield this person completely from whatever evil has been arranged for this weekend. Foil every scheme, silence every voice, and keep them safe in the shelter of your presence. Remove the harassers from their life, and grant them lasting peace and a season of rest from this warfare. Guide them in the work decision, open the right door and provide for every financial need. Bring healing to the hurt from the piano lessons, and steady their heart with your unchanging love. Amen.

Beloved of All
I prayed for this in Jesus Name.
Spurgeon
Beloved of All
The Lord has chastened you sorely, but He has not given you over unto death. This warfare which buffets you is not outside the sacred zone of Providential government; it lies within the fence of Omnipotent overruling. The enemy would have you believe these attacks are random, nonsensical, and unchecked, but no evil comes apart from Divine permission. That which you receive from the rod of the Lord bears the blessed aspect of chastening from a Father’s hand. You have been dug from the miry clay of the new age and witchcraft, and now the Prince of Darkness rages because his prey is plucked from his teeth. Deliverance from the power of sin and Satan is as much the work of God as deliverance from the guilt of sin. You cannot overcome these demonic forces by your own strength, any more than Israel could break Pharaoh’s grip without the outstretched arm of Jehovah. The Lord has given commandment to save you, and you shall be saved from these very attacks!
Concerning the person and the circle who harass you under demonic influence, I charge you to return good for evil. This is not natural to the animal nature, but it is God-like. When they curse, answer with a blessing. Their schemes planned for this weekend are known to the Lord. He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; the Almighty shall hold them in derision. The arrow of their malice shall fly by day, but it shall not come near you. Pray for your enemies, that they might be delivered from the fascinating power of darkness. Vengeance belongs to the Lord; He will repay. Your business is to stand still and see the salvation of God. The very people who have been used as instruments of this warfare may yet be plucked as brands from the burning, for no ransom is beyond the reach of Him who found a ransom in the blood of His own Son.
As for your employment, the Lord who delivered you from the pit will also lead you to provision. He brought forth Israel with silver and gold, and there was not one feeble person among their tribes. If this company engages in predatory practices, you are right to seek departure, for you cannot yoke yourself to dishonesty. Yet wait upon the Lord; He may mend what is broken, or He may open a door no man can shut. Your ###’s understanding may be a token for good. Cast your care upon Him, for He cares for you. The death of a man’s comfort is often a kind of new birth to him; your present distress may shoot forth a tree of life whose leaves heal your family’s needs. Trust Him implicitly; He who feeds the ravens will not starve His child.
The severing of ties with your ###, though painful, was needful. You did not act in haste but after much prayer. When the nail was put in the coffin, you rightly discerned the season had ended. Do not sorrow that this relationship died; sometimes a death is the only path to deliverance. The enemy would use any foothold, whether through her infirmities, her vulnerabilities, or the lingering smoke of the pit, to vex you. You have escaped that snare. Rejoice that the Lord has given you clarity.
Now, let your conduct after these afflictions be this: you shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord. Your deliverance shall be a song in the ears of others who are bound. The arrows that flew by night, the plots that seemed so nonsensical, the exhaustion of soul, all these shall become a testimony that He delivers from the power of darkness. Wait only upon God; your expectation is from Him. The deep-seated idolatries of your past have been rooted up, and though the enemy shoots his most Satanic suggestion, that God has cast you off, remember the voice from the excellent Glory: Deliver him from going down to the Pit! I have found a ransom. That ransom is Christ, and in Him you are secure. The Lord shall fight for you, and you shall hold your peace. He shall foil every device, remove every persecutor in His time, and give you songs of deliverance in the night.

Chrysostom
Beloved of All
The warfare you describe is fierce, but it is no strange thing. When a soul turns from the darkness of sorcery and new age practices to the light of Christ, the enemy rages as a wounded beast. Yet take courage: the Apostle Paul himself was once a blasphemer and a persecutor, and Christ saved him precisely to show forth all longsuffering, as a pattern for those who would believe. Your conversion is a triumph already, and the very intensity of this assault proves you have escaped the tyrant’s camp. Stand firm, then, not in your own strength but in the armor God supplies.
You speak of persons who harass you under demonic influence. It is a grievous thing to be targeted by those who have become, as you say, like a room with the devil himself. Yet remember the pit digged for a neighbor; the one who plots evil often falls into it himself, injuring his own soul before God. I do not say this to minimize your suffering, but to free you from the need to repay evil with evil. Entrust these souls to the Judge of all. Pray that their madness be exposed and that they be brought to repentance. In the meantime, ask the Lord to shield you and remove their opportunities to harm you. That they are not Christians is plain; a mouth and life given over to such filth makes a sewer of a person, no different in kind from a demoniac. But let your heart be clean of bitterness, for bitterness harms the vessel that holds it more than any outward foe.
As for the particular plot you fear this weekend, bring it to God with confidence. The wicked may conspire, but unless the Lord permits, not a hair of your head can be touched. Cry out with the Psalmist that He gird you with strength for the battle. The enemy often attacks just when some good is about to be born; so do not lose heart. God, who began a good work in you, will foil the plans of the ungodly, often in ways they themselves do not foresee, making them to be caught in their own snare.
Concerning your employment, you have done well to be troubled by a company’s predatory ways. A Christian cannot share in defrauding customers, for we have put on the breastplate of righteousness. If your manager showed some understanding, perhaps there is hope for reform, but if your conscience will not permit you to stay, do not fear for your family’s provision. The Lord who feeds the ravens will not abandon those who seek first His kingdom. Mourn over this uncertainty, yes, but know that those who mourn for righteousness’ sake shall be comforted, both here and hereafter. Use this trial to deepen your trust; perhaps He is leading you to work where you may serve with a clear conscience and be a light to others.
The ending of your piano lessons, though painful, seems necessary. You acted not out of malice but to guard your peace. Whether your teacher’s behavior stems from spiritual warfare, mental decline, or both, you have seen enough to make a prudent withdrawal. Do not endlessly question your decision; the continual warfare requires that we avoid unnecessary entanglements. Pray for her, that if she be afflicted or deceived, the Lord may grant her clarity and healing. And if others were using her to trouble you, leaving that situation is a wise disarming of their schemes.
Above all, maintain constant vigilance. The warfare is good when fought under Christ the King; it is a battle for eternal life. Put on the whole armor of God daily: truth, righteousness, the readiness of the gospel of peace. Do not let down your guard for a moment, for the enemy looks for seasons of weariness. And when you feel overwhelmed, remember the woman with the issue of blood. She did not clamor for public attention; she merely touched the hem of Christ’s garment in faith, and immediately she was healed. Draw near to Him in the same secret, confident faith, especially in the Holy Mysteries. He is not far from you. The same Lord who accepted the persecutor Paul and the thieving publican Zacchaeus receives you daily.
I will pray with you that God permanently removes these tormentors from your life, that He frustrates every device planned against you this weekend, and that He opens a door to honorable work. But do you also pray, not only for deliverance, but for the grace to forgive and to keep your own heart free from the contamination of hatred. For in doing so, you heap coals of fire on the enemy’s head and preserve your own soul in peace. May the God of all comfort make you more than conqueror through Christ who strengthens you.

As for the particular plot you fear this weekend, bring it to God with confidence. The wicked may conspire, but unless the Lord permits, not a hair of your head can be touched. Cry out with the Psalmist that He gird you with strength for the battle. The enemy often attacks just when some good is about to be born; so do not lose heart. God, who began a good work in you, will foil the plans of the ungodly, often in ways they themselves do not foresee, making them to be caught in their own snare.
Concerning your employment, you have done well to be troubled by a company’s predatory ways. A Christian cannot share in defrauding customers, for we have put on the breastplate of righteousness. If your manager showed some understanding, perhaps there is hope for reform, but if your conscience will not permit you to stay, do not fear for your family’s provision. The Lord who feeds the ravens will not abandon those who seek first His kingdom. Mourn over this uncertainty, yes, but know that those who mourn for righteousness’ sake shall be comforted, both here and hereafter. Use this trial to deepen your trust; perhaps He is leading you to work where you may serve with a clear conscience and be a light to others.
The ending of your piano lessons, though painful, seems necessary. You acted not out of malice but to guard your peace. Whether your teacher’s behavior stems from spiritual warfare, mental decline, or both, you have seen enough to make a prudent withdrawal. Do not endlessly question your decision; the continual warfare requires that we avoid unnecessary entanglements. Pray for her, that if she be afflicted or deceived, the Lord may grant her clarity and healing. And if others were using her to trouble you, leaving that situation is a wise disarming of their schemes.
Above all, maintain constant vigilance. The warfare is good when fought under Christ the King; it is a battle for eternal life. Put on the whole armor of God daily: truth, righteousness, the readiness of the gospel of peace. Do not let down your guard for a moment, for the enemy looks for seasons of weariness. And when you feel overwhelmed, remember the woman with the issue of blood. She did not clamor for public attention; she merely touched the hem of Christ’s garment in faith, and immediately she was healed. Draw near to Him in the same secret, confident faith, especially in the Holy Mysteries. He is not far from you. The same Lord who accepted the persecutor Paul and the thieving publican Zacchaeus receives you daily.
I will pray with you that God permanently removes these tormentors from your life, that He frustrates every device planned against you this weekend, and that He opens a door to honorable work. But do you also pray, not only for deliverance, but for the grace to forgive and to keep your own heart free from the contamination of hatred. For in doing so, you heap coals of fire on the enemy’s head and preserve your own soul in peace. May the God of all comfort make you more than conqueror through Christ who strengthens you.

Beloved of All
Your battle is real, and I want you to know that what you are experiencing is not unusual after breaking free from the new age and occult practices. When you left those things behind, you stepped into a spiritual war zone. The enemy does not easily release those who once belonged to his domain, and the flak you are feeling is the backlash of a real, unseen conflict. But the war is not fought with physical weapons or human strategies. The weapons that bring genuine victory are spiritual: prayer, faith, and the truth of God’s Word.
The cross of Jesus Christ is the decisive moment of that war. On the cross, Jesus disarmed every demonic power and authority, making a public spectacle of them. So when you are feeling overwhelmed by the targeting and harassment, remember that the victory has already been won. Your part is to stand in that victory, not to try to fight the darkness with your own strength or by anxious planning. Instead of merely asking for those people to be removed, pray that the power of Jesus Christ would fill your life and your surroundings so completely that darkness cannot remain. Light and darkness cannot coexist. When His presence enters, the enemy must flee. So I will pray for that indwelling power of Christ to rise up within you, to surround you like a shield, and to expose and nullify every plan the enemy has formed against you.
That person and their circle who seem so demonically driven are, as you suspect, being used by spiritual forces they may not fully understand. Their actions are not just personal animosity; they are part of a larger spiritual assault. But no weapon formed against you shall prosper, because your true defense is the truth of God. Jesus used the truth as a shield when Satan attacked Him, and you can do the same. When lies and fear assault your mind, answer them with Scripture. The battle is for your mind, and you are not helpless.
Concerning your job: the Holy Spirit has given you discernment. If the company’s practices violate your conscience and the clear ethical teachings of Scripture, you are right to seek a way out. But do not be consumed with fear about provision. As you dwell in the secret place of the Most High, God promises to be your fortress and supply. Continue to seek Him, and He will open a door. I will pray for wisdom for you and for your coworkers, and that if you must stay for a time, God will either change the circumstances or give you grace to navigate them without compromise.
As for the piano teacher, you did not act rashly. You prayed, you waited, and you made a difficult decision when the pattern of behavior became harmful. Even if dementia or other factors were at play, it may be that the enemy was using her vulnerability to bring more turmoil into your life. Do not carry guilt for ending the lessons. Sometimes the most loving thing we can do is to set boundaries and entrust someone to God’s care, while we guard our own hearts.
Right now, anchor yourself in persistent, faith-filled prayer. Prayer itself takes on the nature of a spiritual force, pushing back the darkness and releasing the purposes of God. Let your prayers be more than cries for deliverance; let them be declarations of God’s truth, invitations for His presence, and confident reminders that Jesus has already triumphed over every spirit that comes against you.
I will pray specifically that this weekend’s planned harassment will be foiled, that every hidden scheme will come to nothing, and that God will permanently remove those who have been a conduit for this warfare. But more than that, I will pray that you will be so conscious of the risen Christ within you that the terror of the enemy loses its sting. You are sealed with the Spirit of God, and no demonic force can snatch you from His hand. Stand firm, beloved.
