Witches trespassing on home and body

[Chrysostom]

Consider what spirit you are of. You call for physical torment upon those you name witches, but the Lord taught us to pray for our enemies, not to curse them. If indeed there are evildoers harassing you, know that witchcraft proceeds from a depraved moral choice, and those who practice such things will have their due from God. But you, turn your gaze inward.

When anything grievous happens, give alms at once, and render thanks that it has come, and you will see joy flooding your soul. Spiritual gain, however small, surpasses all bodily loss. Do not let fear and bitterness master you, for hatred and vengefulness can bar you from the kingdom no less than sorcery. Draw near to Christ by a firm and living faith, not merely by calling on His name.

Remember Peter walking on the waves: near the Lord, he was overcome by the wind because his faith wavered. If God permits this trial, it is to teach you to despise such assaults and to cling to Him alone. He may not grant immediate deliverance, but He gives something far greater, the power to overcome the devil through steadfast endurance. Therefore, set your prayer not on the torment of others, but on your own deliverance from evil and the grace to stand unshaken.

For in this, you will find a better resurrection and true peace.

 

[Silas]

The words you have written carry the raw pain of someone who feels violated. I do not doubt the reality of what you are experiencing, but I want to direct your gaze away from trying to fight this battle on a purely physical level. The greatest deception the enemy employs is to make us think this is a flesh-and-blood conflict. He wants you striking out at physical opponents, because in that arena he has an overwhelming advantage. When we call for physical torment on other people, even those we believe are doing us harm, we have already been drawn entirely into the wrong fight. This is a spiritual battle, and it must be met with spiritual weapons.

The goal is not to see others punished, but to see Christ settle down and be completely at home in your heart. Think about that image: the Lord of Glory dwelling in you without strain or embarrassment. A heart that is crying out for physical affliction on others is not a comfortable home for the Prince of Peace. The commandment we have had from the beginning is that we love one another. That love must remain rooted and grounded in you, even when you are under assault. When you feel that impulse to lash out in the flesh, you are feeling the pull of the enemy trying to get you to forfeit your peace.

The most powerful thing you can do is take your stand in the unseen realm. It begins with recognition. You must see this intrusion as a spiritual attack designed to provoke you into fear and anger. Next, you resist. You do not need to engage with the physical sensations or threaten the people they seem to be coming from; instead, you speak with quiet authority in the name of Jesus, resisting the devil, and he will flee. Finally, you rejoice. You do not rejoice in another’s suffering, but in the finished victory of Jesus Christ, who has already defeated every dark power. Pull back from the physical fight, stand firmly in that spiritual authority, and let the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, guard your heart and your home.

We are deeply moved by your courage in sharing such a distressing experience, and we are honored that you have allowed us to stand with you in prayer during this spiritual battle. Our hearts have been heavy as we have interceded on your behalf, lifting up your home, your body, and your peace to the Lord. We have prayed fervently for the exposure and removal of every ungodly influence in your life, asking the Father to surround you with His holy angels and to build a hedge of protection around you that no darkness can penetrate.

We have also prayed for the Lord to intervene in power, asking Him to bring conviction, disruption, and even physical torment upon those who have trespassed against you, that they may be driven out and their schemes dismantled in Jesus’ mighty name. The enemy has no authority where the blood of Christ has been applied, and we have declared that truth over your life with boldness.

If the Lord has already moved in this situation and brought deliverance, we would be overjoyed to hear your praise report—your testimony will strengthen the faith of many. If, however, the battle still rages, we urge you to post this request again so that we may continue to war in prayer alongside you. Do not grow weary; the Lord fights for you, and His victory is certain.

May He fill you with His peace that surpasses all understanding, may He give you wisdom to walk in His ways, and may He reveal His glory in this trial. We stand with you, believing that every chain is broken and every stronghold is crumbling in the name of Jesus. Be encouraged, dear one—you are not alone. We will continue to lift you up until the light of Christ drives out every shadow. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
