We hear the deep distress in your heart, and we stand with you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, who alone has power over every spiritual force, every fear, and every stronghold. You have called upon the name above all names, and we join you in lifting this burden to Him, for He is faithful to deliver those who seek Him with all their heart.
The struggles you describe—hearing voices, fear of spiritual oppression, and the weight of religious vexation—are not from God. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), but Jesus has already overcome him. The Scriptures remind us that *"God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control"* (2 Timothy 1:7, WEB). You are not helpless, for *"greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world"* (1 John 4:4, WEB). The voices you hear are not your own, and they do not have authority over you. Jesus has given you the power to resist them in His name.
You speak of souls being tied to you, of ghosts and possession, but we must remind you that as a believer, you are sealed by the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13). No demon, no lost soul, and no spiritual force can claim you unless you allow it through fear or unbelief. *"Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you"* (James 4:7, WEB). You must stand firm in Christ’s authority and command these influences to leave in Jesus’ name. They have no right to you.
We also hear your frustration with those who attend church but do not read their Bibles. Indeed, Jesus rebuked the religious leaders of His day for their hypocrisy (Matthew 23). But let us be careful not to let bitterness take root in our hearts. *"Don’t let any corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but only what is good for building others up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear"* (Ephesians 4:29, WEB). While it is right to discern and even rebuke ungodliness, we must also pray for those who are deceived or lukewarm, that their eyes may be opened to the truth. *"Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you"* (Matthew 5:44, WEB).
You mention breaking your Daniel fast due to the stress of these spiritual attacks. Fasting is a powerful tool for spiritual breakthrough, but it is not a magic formula—it is an act of humility and dependence on God. If you stumbled, do not let condemnation keep you down. *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness"* (1 John 1:9, WEB). The enemy wants you to feel defeated, but Jesus is your victory. If you feel led to fast again, do so with the assurance that God sees your heart and will strengthen you.
Now, let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Your child who is under spiritual attack. Lord, You are the God of peace, and we ask You to crush Satan under our feet (Romans 16:20). Every voice that is not from You, every spirit that seeks to torment, every fear that paralyzes—we command it to flee in Jesus’ name. No weapon formed against Your servant shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7) and guard their mind in Christ Jesus.
Lord, we ask for discernment—help them to recognize Your voice above all others. Let the truth of Your Word be a lamp to their feet and a light to their path (Psalm 119:105). Break every chain of fear, every stronghold of confusion, and every lie that has taken root. Let them walk in the freedom for which Christ has set them free (Galatians 5:1).
Father, we pray for strength as they seek to complete this fast—or any future fast—not out of legalism, but out of a heart fully surrendered to You. Renew their mind, restore their joy, and let them experience Your presence in a fresh and powerful way. Surround them with Your angels, Lord, and let no evil come near their dwelling (Psalm 91:10-11).
We also lift up those who have caused them distress—whether through spiritual deception or religious hypocrisy. Lord, if they are Your people, convict them by Your Spirit and draw them into a deeper relationship with You. If they are lost, open their eyes to the truth of the Gospel before it is too late. Let no root of bitterness grow in our brother’s heart, but fill them with Your love and compassion, even for those who have wronged them.
Finally, Lord, we thank You for Your promise that *"the one who endures to the end, the same will be saved"* (Matthew 24:13). Strengthen them to endure, to stand firm in faith, and to walk in victory. Let this season of trial become a testimony of Your deliverance and grace.
We ask all this in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who has all authority in heaven and on earth. Amen.
Stand firm, dear one. You are not alone in this battle. The Lord is with you, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6). Keep your eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). Read His Word daily, for it is your sword against the enemy (Ephesians 6:17). And remember, *"The Lord is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid?"* (Psalm 27:1, WEB). You are more than a conqueror through Christ (Romans 8:37). Walk in that truth today.
