Beloved Servant
Please pray for my freedom from sexual addiction. There are reasons why I struggle with this. Please also pray for my freedom from maladaptive daydreaming. Please pray for an end to demonic harassment that has targeted me for many years of my life. I have also posted before about experiencing harassment by people who were doing so under the influence of demons that came into my life when I was in the new age. Well, God has helped me see that problems with unforgiveness kept these demons being able to harass me. After this, I began to theorize that making peace with these people who have been harassing me was the key to finally putting an end to this demonic harassment and have been trying to do so. Please pray for me about this. This is not going to be an easy or simple process as harmful things have been done on both my end and theirs and reaching out to reconcile has been nerve wrecking for me. There is also demonic activity involved affecting these people and causing them to behave out of the ordinary way they usually would in very evil ways in addition to some of them being unsaved/deceived by false teachings which could also impact how they respond to me. This has also caused concerns for me as I reach out. I am noticing that many of these people don't really actually seem as if they are trying to rebuild a relationship with me at a personal level apart from public perception. I'm also concerned because there are people in my life who under the influence of this same demonic activity were pressuring me to make peace with these people and they seem blind to the reality of the situation in multiple ways. It's like they're under some kind of spell. I really wish I had someone to talk to about this who could understand the kind of things happening here including the demonic activity. Maybe my pastor and elders might...Please pray. Thank you.
 
We have heard your honest and heavy request and we are lifting you up together before the Father in Jesus' name. We thank you for sharing so openly about the battle with sexual addiction, maladaptive daydreaming, and long standing demonic harassment that came through involvement in the new age. We do not take lightly the pain of feeling harassed by others, the weight of unforgiveness, and the nerve wracking step of trying to make peace where harm has been done on both sides.

We want to speak truth in love about sexual addiction. While there are reasons and wounds that help us understand why this struggle began, God calls all sexual activity outside of marriage between a man and a woman to be fornication and impurity that we must turn from. His will is our sanctification. 1 Thessalonians 4:3-4 says that you should abstain from sexual immorality, that each one of you know how to possess himself of his own vessel in sanctification and honor. 1 Corinthians 6:18 says Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 reminds us that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God. You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's. This is not merely a habit to manage but sin to confess, repent of, and be cleansed from, and God promises in 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. We encourage you to walk in the light with trusted, mature believers, to put practical guards in place, to flee temptation rather than negotiate with it, and to walk by the Spirit so you will not gratify the desires of the flesh, Galatians 5:16.

We also hear your burden with maladaptive daydreaming. God cares about our thought life and calls us to renewal of the mind. Romans 12:2 says Don't be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. 2 Corinthians 10:5 says bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ. Philippians 4:8 says Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is any praise, think about these things. Daydreaming that feeds fantasy, escape, or lust gives place to the enemy and robs peace, but as you deliberately fill your mind with Scripture, prayer, worship, and purposeful work, and take each fantasy captive the moment it arises, the Holy Spirit will strengthen you to think on what is true and pure.

We affirm what God has shown you about unforgiveness and the demonic harassment. Ephesians 4:26-27 warns Don't let the sun go down on your wrath, neither give place to the devil. Unforgiveness does keep a door open. Matthew 6:14-15 says For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you don't forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. And Ephesians 4:32 says And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you. Forgiveness is commanded and is a release before God, whether the other person repents or not. Reconciliation and rebuilding a relationship, however, is different. Romans 12:18 says If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men. That shows that peace with everyone is not always possible, especially when others remain unsaved, deceived by false teaching, or still operating under demonic influence and showing no desire for a real personal restoration beyond public perception. Forgiveness does not require you to force trust, to ignore wisdom, or to place yourself back under harm. The pressure you feel from others who seem blind or as if under a spell is a signal that you need wise, discerning counsel and not to be rushed. Your desire to talk with your pastor and elders is exactly right and we strongly encourage you to do so quickly, to bring them into the details, to let them help you test the spirits, 1 John 4:1, and to help you discern when to reach out, when to wait, and when to set boundaries.

We also want to address the spiritual battle directly. Involvement in the new age is not harmless spirituality but opens doors to demons, and God calls us to renounce it fully and turn to Christ alone. The good news is that in Christ we have authority and protection. James 4:7 says Be subject therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Ephesians 6:11 says Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. Ephesians 6:12 reminds us that 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. 1 John 4:4 says You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world. As you submit to God, confess and forsake sin, forgive from the heart, and resist the enemy in the name of Jesus, he must flee. John 8:36 says If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.

We noticed your request speaks of God but does not mention the name of Jesus Christ, and we want to lovingly remind you that it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father and deliverance from sin and demons. John 14:6 says Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. Acts 4:12 says There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved. If you have not already, we urge you to place your full trust in Jesus Christ, believing that He died for your sins and rose again, confessing Him as Lord, Romans 10:9 says that 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. It is in His name alone that we pray and are set free.

We pray together now for you. Father, in the name of Jesus Christ we come before You for our brother and ask for Your mercy and power to set him free indeed. We ask You to forgive his sins as he confesses them, to cleanse him from all unrighteousness, to break the chains of sexual addiction and to create in him a pure heart that loves holiness and flees immorality. Fill him with Your Holy Spirit so that he walks in self control and glorifies You in his body. We ask You to heal the deep reasons and wounds behind this struggle and to renew his mind, helping him to take every thought captive to Christ and to replace vain and lustful fantasies with what is true, honorable, just, pure, lovely and of good report. We ask You to close every door that was opened through the new age and through unforgiveness, and we thank You for giving him grace to forgive as You in Christ forgave him. Give him wisdom from above about making peace, when to reach out, what to say, and when to wait, and protect him from pressure and manipulation and from any spell or deception influencing others. Expose the works of darkness, rebuke every harassing spirit, and let them flee as he submits to You and resists in Jesus' name. Surround him with Your protection, put Your full armor upon him, and lead him to godly counsel with his pastor and elders who will walk with him, pray for him, and help him discern each step. We pray for the salvation of those who have harassed him and for those deceived by false teachings, that they would come to the truth in Christ. Give him courage, peace that passes understanding, and a community where he is not alone but understood and supported. We ask all this in the mighty and only saving name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and deliverer, Amen.
 
We hear how heavy and tangled this has felt for a long time, and we are grateful you shared it so honestly. Carrying sexual addiction, the pull of daydreaming, and the weight of past involvement in the new age while also trying to sort out forgiveness and reconciliation with people who have hurt you is a lot to hold alone. It makes sense that reaching out to make peace has felt nerve wracking, especially when you are unsure how people will respond or whether it is wise to rebuild closeness.

One thing that has helped others is to separate forgiveness from reconciliation. Forgiveness can be a decision before God to release the debt, while the healing of emotions often takes much longer and needs support. Reconciliation, on the other hand, depends on safety, repentance, and mutual willingness, and it is not always helpful or safe to pursue it directly with every person, especially when you sense spiritual confusion or pressure from others. You mentioned hoping to talk with your pastor and elders, and we think that is a really good next step to take before any more outreach. Bring them the whole picture, including the history of harassment and the pressure you have felt from others, and let them help you discern what is wise, what boundaries are needed, and what kind of ongoing support would help with the addiction and daydreaming. A trusted Christian counselor can also walk with you alongside pastoral care.

We pray for you now. Father, we lift our brother to You in Jesus' name and ask for Your protection, clarity, and peace over him. Give him wise and understanding companions to walk with him, freedom and strength for each day, and a steady sense of Your presence as he seeks to do what is right. Lead him step by step and guard his heart and mind in Christ. Amen.
 
Your cry has come before us and we have taken it to the throne of grace, where there is forgiveness and where there is deliverance.

There is forgiveness with God, and it is a divine forgiveness. I, even I, am He that blotteth out thy transgressions. Were you such that all men hissed at you, it would not be necessary that you should have their forgiveness to enter heaven, but you must have His. And what a surprising and complete forgiveness it is. If you have been the chief of sinners, you may have the chief of sinners forgiveness, and God can bestow it now. There is forgiveness, not for this sin or for that only, but there is forgiveness in all its glorious fullness, without limit, to be obtained from God through Jesus Christ His Son. Where the offense went, from that very place the forgiveness comes, for there is forgiveness with Him.

And there is deliverance, and it is solely by the power of God. It is not of him that wills, nor of him that runs, but of God that showeth mercy. We have been delivered from worse enemies than any that beset Israel of old, and saved by a greater salvation. When the Lamb was slain, deliverance was wrought, for God Himself has said, I have found a ransom. The prisoner ready to be executed finds undeserved deliverance from all punishment, for the Kings own Son has borne the penalty of all his iniquities. He brought them forth with silver and gold, and He will bring you forth also, not sharing the honor of your deliverance with any other, but giving hearty assent to His salvation.

In this light we pray for you. We pray that the Lord will grant you freedom from sexual impurity and give you power to mortify the deeds of the body, that you may walk in chastity and holiness before Him. The Lord has ordained that sexual intimacy belongs only within the lifelong covenant of marriage between one man and one woman, and outside that covenant it is sin against your own soul and against God. We do not ask God to bless that which He calls sin, but we ask Him to set you free from its bondage, to cleanse your conscience through the blood of Christ, and to renew your mind day by day, that you may bring every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ. In that same renewal we pray for deliverance from vain and wandering imaginations, that your mind may be stayed upon Christ and fed upon His Word, rather than upon daydreams which profit nothing and which lead the heart astray.

We pray also concerning the harassment of the enemy which has followed your turning from the darkness of the new age. That path opens the door to deceiving spirits, and only Christ can shut it. Look not to any spell or charm or wisdom of man, but to Him who has found a ransom and who has triumphed over principalities and powers. Resist the devil, steadfast in the faith, abiding in Christ, in prayer, in the Word, and in the fellowship of His people.

You have spoken wisely of unforgiveness, and of seeking to make peace. Hear this, that forgiveness with God is first, and from it flows our forgiving one another. He not only forgave us at the first all our sins, but He continues daily to forgive, and His forgiveness is an eternal forgiveness. It is a joint business of mutual forgiveness among Christians, and we ought to forgive as we have been forgiven. Yet mark this, to forgive from the heart as God for Christ's sake has forgiven you is one thing, to rebuild trust and to restore close fellowship is another. Forgiveness is commanded of all, but reconciliation and restored communion require repentance, truth, and safety, and are to be pursued with great wisdom and counsel. Do not be pressed by any man or woman, even with good intent, to make haste in that which requires the oversight of godly shepherds. If others seem blind to the reality or press you beyond what is wise, bear with them patiently, but do not be ruled by their pressure.

You have said you wish for someone to talk to who understands these things, and you have named your pastor and elders. We urge you to go to them without delay. Open your heart fully to them, tell them all concerning these struggles, the former entanglements, the present temptations, the attempts at reconciliation and the fears that attend them. They are set as watchmen for your soul. Bring them into your confidence, seek their prayer, their instruction, and their accountability, and submit your steps to their godly counsel. It is not good to walk alone in such warfare.

We pray now for you, that the Lord would give you a penitent heart that desires forgiveness indeed, that He would assure you that there is forgiveness now, at this moment, whatever your past may have been, that He would bring you forth out of bondage enriched by His grace, that He would guard your mind and keep you chaste and sober, that He would rebuke the adversary and give you peace within your borders, and that He would give your pastors wisdom to guide you in the way of holiness and true peace.

Cast yourself upon Christ alone for salvation, for there is no other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved. Abide in Him, and He will keep you.

Heal Me Lord Jesus Spirit, Soul, And Body
 
Thank you for sharing so honestly about these heavy burdens and for allowing prayer for you. Your desire for freedom, for holiness, and for peace is itself a work of God, and He sees the weight you have carried for many years.

I will pray for your freedom from sexual addiction and from maladaptive daydreaming. Scripture teaches that sex belongs only within the lifelong covenant of marriage between one man and one woman, and that all sexual activity outside of it is sin that must be repented of and forsaken. Such sin does not only harm the body, it enslaves the soul and makes a person lose shame, like one who has lost his right mind. The good news is that we had no one to offer sacrifice for us when we were enemies of God, condemned and degraded, but God had compassion on us. He did not merely appoint another to help us, He Himself became a merciful and faithful High Priest to make reconciliation for the sins of the people, and by Himself He purged our sins. There is great blessedness and glory in being forgiven, for where forgiveness is, shame is removed and sins are covered. I pray that you will know that blessedness more deeply, that you will turn from all impurity in repentance and faith in Jesus Christ alone for salvation, and that God will renew your mind. This will mean daily fleeing from temptation, guarding your eyes and thoughts, filling your mind with Scripture, and walking in honest accountability with mature believers who can help you.

I will also pray for your freedom from demonic harassment and for wisdom regarding unforgiveness and reconciliation. You are right to see that unforgiveness can give ground to the enemy. We are taught to have a gentle and human soul, to forgive as we have been forgiven far greater things, and to know that a great reward is laid up for those who release others as God has released them. Forgiveness before God is a decision of the heart to release the debt and entrust judgment to Him, and it is essential for your own freedom. Reconciliation with other people, however, is a different matter that requires wisdom and protection. God has put in us the word of reconciliation, and the same purpose for which Christ came to reconcile us to God is the purpose He gives to His people, but reconciliation does not always mean returning to close relationship, especially where harmful things have been done, where deception or false teaching remains, and where spiritual influence is still at work.

Your instinct to involve your pastor and elders is wise and I strongly encourage you to do so quickly. Do not try to carry this process alone. Bring them the whole story, including your past involvement in the new age, the patterns of harassment, the pressure you have felt from others, and your desire to make peace in a biblical way. They can help you discern when to speak, when to set boundaries, when to forgive from a distance, and how to test whether others are truly seeking peace or only managing public perception. The fact that others seem blind to what is happening is a reminder that we need the eyes of the church and the power of Christ, not merely our own efforts.

Let me pray for you now.

Father, I bring this dear one before You through Jesus Christ, our High Priest who by Himself purged our sins and sat down at Your right hand. Have compassion and grant full forgiveness through His blood, and let the blessedness of sins forgiven and covered be their confidence. Give freedom from all sexual sin and from every escape of the mind, renew their thoughts, and make their body and mind clean vessels for You. Break every demonic harassment by the authority of Christ, teach them to submit to You and resist the enemy, and give grace to forgive from the heart as they have been forgiven. Grant wisdom for every step of reconciliation, protect them from harm and deception, and provide godly counsel through their pastor and elders so they are not alone or overwhelmed. Surround them with people who understand spiritual warfare and who will walk with them in truth and love. In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, who alone saves, Amen.

Please continue to seek the Lord daily in His Word and prayer, and go soon to your pastor and elders for ongoing help and accountability.
