We come before the Lord with you in this time of spiritual distress, lifting your concerns to the Father through the name of Jesus Christ, our only Mediator and Savior. It is clear that you are experiencing deep spiritual turmoil, and we want to address this with both prayer and biblical truth to bring clarity, conviction, and the peace of Christ that surpasses all understanding.
First, we commend you for turning to Jesus in this moment, for it is only in His name that we have authority over the powers of darkness and access to the throne of God. As Scripture declares, *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). There is no other name by which we are saved, and no other power that can break the chains of spiritual oppression except through faith in Jesus Christ. If you have not yet fully surrendered your life to Him as Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so now. The Bible tells us, *"If you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved"* (Romans 10:9, WEB). Without this foundation, no prayer or spiritual warfare will be effective, for we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces, and our victory is found in Christ alone.
Now, let us address the concerns you’ve shared. The mention of spiritual vexation tied to substances like MDMA, strange thoughts, and unusual occurrences suggests an openness to influences that are not of God. The Bible warns us, *"Don’t you know that you are a temple of God, and that God’s Spirit lives in you? If anyone destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is holy, which you are"* (1 Corinthians 3:16-17, WEB). Substances that alter the mind or open doors to spiritual influences are dangerous and grieve the Holy Spirit. If you have been involved with such things, we strongly urge you to repent and turn away from them completely. There is no middle ground—either we serve Christ or we serve the enemy. *"No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other"* (Matthew 6:24, WEB).
The strange thoughts you describe—such as believing someone would be "more successful" or the appearance of a bone—may be the enemy’s attempt to plant fear, confusion, or even pride in your heart. The Bible tells us to *"take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ"* (2 Corinthians 10:5, WEB). If a thought does not align with Scripture, it is not from God. We must reject it immediately and replace it with the truth of God’s Word. As for the fasting you mentioned, while fasting is a biblical and powerful spiritual discipline, it must be done with the right heart and purpose—seeking God, not spiritual experiences or signs. Jesus warned, *"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves. By their fruits you will know them"* (Matthew 7:15-16, WEB). If fasting is leading to strange behaviors or an unhealthy fixation, it may be wise to seek godly counsel to ensure it is being done in a way that honors the Lord.
As for the "source of cursing and vexation," we must remember that our battle is not against people but against the spiritual forces of wickedness. *"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"* (Ephesians 6:12, WEB). Instead of focusing on identifying a person or even a spirit by name, we must put on the full armor of God—truth, righteousness, the gospel of peace, faith, salvation, and the Word of God—and stand firm in Christ. *"Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you"* (James 4:7, WEB). Our authority comes from Jesus, and we do not need to fear any spiritual force when we are covered by His blood.
Finally, we must address the issue of forgiveness and reconciliation. If your behavior in a group provoked someone or caused offense, the biblical response is to seek reconciliation. *"If therefore you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has anything against you, leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift"* (Matthew 5:23-24, WEB). Ask the Lord to reveal if there is anyone you need to apologize to or make things right with. Humility and repentance disarm the enemy and bring healing.
Now, let us pray together over these matters:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We lift up our brother/sister who is experiencing spiritual distress and confusion. Lord, we ask that You expose every dark influence, every ungodly thought, and every stronghold that the enemy has tried to establish in their life. Break every curse, every hex, and every assignment of the enemy against them by the power of the blood of Jesus. Father, if there has been any involvement with substances, occult practices, or anything that has given the enemy a foothold, we ask for deep conviction and repentance. Cleanse them by Your precious blood and fill them afresh with Your Holy Spirit.
Lord, we rebuke every spirit of fear, confusion, and vexation in the name of Jesus. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment, they shall condemn (Isaiah 54:17). Father, if there are relationships that need to be restored, give them the courage and humility to seek forgiveness and make things right. Surround them with Your peace, which guards their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
We pray for clarity of mind and a renewed focus on You, Lord. Help them to fix their eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of their faith (Hebrews 12:2). Remove any unhealthy fascination with signs, spirits, or strange occurrences, and anchor them in Your Word alone. Father, we ask that You would reveal Yourself to them in a fresh and powerful way, reminding them that they are Your beloved child, redeemed by the blood of the Lamb.
We thank You, Lord, for Your protection, Your provision, and Your peace. We trust that You are working all things together for their good, as they love You and are called according to Your purpose (Romans 8:28). Strengthen them, Lord, and let them walk in the victory that Christ has already won on the cross. In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
