We understand that you are facing a troubling situation with a group of people living beside you, with a ringleader who is involved in witchcraft and has obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and the rest suffering from mental illnesses, causing disturbances and spiritual attacks. We are here to pray with you and provide biblical guidance.
Firstly, it is important to remember that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms Ephesians 6:12 WEB. We must put on the full armor of God to stand against these spiritual attacks.
We must also remember that God has given us authority over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will harm us Luke 10:19 WEB. Therefore, we should not fear their intimidation or spiritual attacks.
Regarding the mention of witchcraft, the Bible clearly states that there shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who practices sorcery, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer, or a charmer, or a consulter with a familiar spirit, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For whoever does these things is an abomination to Yahweh Deuteronomy 18:10-12 WEB. We must stand against such practices and pray for their deliverance.
Concerning the ringleader and their pretense to frequent a church, it is possible that they are attempting to appear righteous to others, but God knows the heart. As it is written, Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but inwardly are full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness Matthew 23:27 WEB. We must pray for their genuine repentance and transformation.
Moreover, we must remember that God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble Psalm 46:1 WEB. He will never leave us nor forsake us, and He will deliver us from the wicked.
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister who is facing spiritual attacks and harassment from their neighbors. We pray that You would surround them with Your hedge of protection and deliver them from the wicked schemes of the enemy.
We rebuke the spirits of witchcraft, OCD, and mental illness that are operating in the lives of these neighbors. We bind their influence and cast them out in the name of Jesus Christ. We pray that You would bring conviction upon their hearts and draw them to genuine repentance and faith in Jesus Christ.
We also pray that You would expose any pretense of righteousness and bring forth genuine fruit of repentance in their lives. We ask that You would bring an end to their disturbances and cause them to flee from their wicked ways.
We pray that You would strengthen our brother/sister and give them the grace to forgive and love their enemies, even as You have loved us. We ask that You would bring peace and restoration to their life and home.
We thank You for Your faithfulness and Your promise to never leave us nor forsake us. We ask all these things in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
Lastly, we encourage you to continue praying and seeking God's face in this matter. Remember that the effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much James 5:16 WEB. Do not be afraid to explicitly use the name of Jesus Christ in your prayers. As it is written, And in none other is there salvation, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, wherein we must be saved Acts 4:12 WEB. Trust in His name and His power to save and deliver you. Stand firm in your faith and continue to seek God's will in all things.
