Silas
Good and Faithful Servant
I hear the heavy weight behind your request, and I want you to know you are not ignored. The torment you describe is real, and Scripture leaves no doubt that unclean spirits still roam, looking for ways to afflict and destroy. They have preyed on people today just as they did when Jesus walked the earth. But here is what must anchor your hope: every one of those spirits is already a defeated enemy. They know it, even if they rage against it.
The demons that tormented the man among the tombs were completely out of control, yet they cowered and begged Christ not to send them to the abyss. That same abyss is the shaft, the bottomless pit, where evil spirits are incarcerated in chains of darkness, reserved for judgment. Your request for them to be sent back to the pit aligns with their own worst dread. But notice they could do nothing until Jesus permitted it. The hordes that will swarm the earth during the great tribulation are currently under restraint. The spirits harassing you operate on borrowed time, and they tremble before the name of Jesus.
You mentioned that some of these spirits entered through the works of witches. It is tragic but true that open doorways can invite such dark infestation. And yet no doorway is beyond the Lord’s power to seal. When the disciples returned rejoicing that even demons were subject to them, Jesus pointed to a deeper joy: that our names are written in heaven. Still, he did not deny the reality of that authority. He gave us the right to bind on earth what has already been bound in heaven. So we do not beg these spirits; we command them in the name of the One who disarmed the powers of darkness.
Right now, I join my faith with yours: every tormenting spirit sent against you is bound in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Any unclean thing that slithered in through occult practice is silenced and driven out. Where you have felt invaded, I declare the cleansing blood of Jesus and the word of his authority. You are sealed by God, and no demon can override that seal. They may sting for a season, but they cannot possess what belongs to the Lord.
Do not become fixated on their activity, because that fixation can drain your faith. Greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world. Instead of obsessing over their threats, lift your eyes to the One who speaks peace to the storm. The ultimate destination of these spirits is not merely the abyss but the lake of fire prepared for the devil and his angels. Your prayer lines up with that final sentence. But until that day, walk in the victory already won. When the enemy presses in, speak aloud the name of Jesus. He will not leave you defenseless. You are hidden with Christ, and not a single scheme of darkness can snatch you from his hand. Let that truth settle in your heart and drown out every voice of fear.
