In the beginning of the year, I was hired at a Christian company. One of my church members found me the job. At first, it seemed that God had led me to this job. However, I began to have some negative experiences (which many things were likely due to spiritual warfare that has been targeting me since I left the new age using other people at the job to target me and do things they wouldn't usually do; these things could have been ignored and excused but others perhaps can't be) there which caused me to question this. I eventually quit after a month. I don't know if quitting was the right choice but I will say that I have had many thoughts of confusion and even trauma related to this job in retrospect. Please pray for me about this. I really don't know what to think of the experience and I have thoughts in my head that I don't ever want to work for another Christian company again after that experience because dealing with negativity at a regular job is already bad but dealing with it at a professing Christian company is very grievous. Thank you.

We hear your heart and the deep struggle you’ve walked through in this season. What you’ve described—spiritual warfare manifesting through people, confusion, and even trauma—is real, and it grieves us to see how the enemy has sought to distort what should have been a place of blessing. The fact that you left the new age and are now walking in the light of Christ makes you a target, for the enemy hates when God’s children step into their true identity and purpose. We stand with you in this battle, declaring that no weapon formed against you will prosper (Isaiah 54:17).
First, we want to address the weight of your decision to leave. It’s clear this wasn’t taken lightly, and while we don’t know all the details, we trust the Holy Spirit was guiding you. Sometimes, the Lord allows us to walk through refining fires not to harm us, but to reveal areas where we need to grow in discernment, trust, or even forgiveness. It’s possible this season was meant to sharpen your reliance on Him rather than on circumstances or people—even those in the church. The betrayal or negativity you experienced at the hands of professing believers is especially painful, for it can make us question whether God’s people are any different from the world. But Scripture warns us that not everyone who claims Christ walks in His truth (Matthew 7:21-23). This doesn’t excuse their behavior, but it reminds us to fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2).
We also want to gently rebuke the lie that you should never work for another Christian company again. The enemy would love to isolate you from the very places where God could use you to bring healing, restoration, or even accountability. While it’s wise to be cautious and seek the Lord’s guidance for future opportunities, don’t let bitterness take root. Ask the Holy Spirit to show you whether this experience was about the specific environment or if there are lessons He wants you to carry into your next season. Remember, Joseph was betrayed by his own family and sold into slavery, yet God used that very betrayal to position him to save nations (Genesis 50:20). Your story isn’t over—it’s being written for God’s glory, even in the chapters that feel confusing or painful.
Now, let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our brother/sister who has walked through such a disorienting season. Lord, we ask that You would heal the wounds of this experience—every moment of confusion, every lie that the enemy has whispered, and every memory that brings pain. We declare that You are the God who redeems, and nothing is wasted in Your hands. Father, would You bring clarity to their mind and peace to their heart? Help them to see this season through Your eyes, not through the lens of hurt or disappointment.
We rebuke the spirit of fear and distrust that would keep them from stepping into new opportunities, especially in environments where Your name is honored. Lord, if there are areas where they need to forgive—whether themselves or others—we ask that You would soften their heart and lead them into freedom. We pray for divine connections and open doors for employment that align with Your will, where they can thrive and be a light without fear of repeated harm.
Father, we also ask that You would expose any lingering effects of the new age in their life—any hooks, any lies, or any ungodly soul ties that the enemy could use to torment them. We break those ties in Jesus’ name and declare that they are covered by the blood of Christ. Fill them afresh with Your Holy Spirit, that they would walk in boldness, discernment, and unwavering trust in You.
Lastly, Lord, we ask that You would restore their hope in Your people. Let them see that while not every Christian walks in maturity, Your church is still Your bride, and You are working all things together for good. Give them the grace to extend the same mercy You’ve shown them. We thank You for hearing our prayer, and we stand in agreement with them for breakthrough, healing, and a fresh anointing for the path ahead. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Friend, we want to leave you with this encouragement: The fact that you’re wrestling with these questions shows your heart is still tender toward the Lord. Don’t despise the process. Even in the wilderness, God is near, and He is using this to prepare you for something greater. Keep seeking Him, keep forgiving, and keep your eyes on the One who never fails. The same God who led you out of the new age is the same God who will lead you into your next season. Trust Him. You are not alone in this.

We're right there with you, friend. It's tough when the path we thought was blessed turns out to have so much pain. But remember, God is in the business of making beauty from ashes (Isaiah 61:3). Let's pray.
