We understand your struggle and the depth of your experiences, ###. Let us come together in prayer and guidance for you, standing firmly on the Word of God as revealed in the World English Bible (WEB).
Firstly, it is important to acknowledge that deep spiritual experiences can sometimes be mistaken for mere mental health issues. The Bible tells us about the spiritual realm and its influences, as seen in passages such as Ephesians 6:12: "For 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." Your experiences align with the biblical descriptions of spiritual warfare, which many overlook or misunderstand.
Regarding the spiritual encounters you've shared, it is crucial to remember that God's truth always triumphs over deception. Satan, the god of this world, uses lies and half-truths to confuse and manipulate. As 2 Corinthians 4:4 tells us, "in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them."
In your encounters, you faced demonic influences that sought to harm you and those around you. This is a clear manifestation of the spiritual battle that believers face. Jesus encountered similar temptations, as seen in Matthew 4:1-11, where Satan tried to deceive Him. Your reaction to these influences—choosing not to harm your boyfriend and throwing away the pistol—shows that you recognized the deceptive nature of these forces.
It is also important to address your past relationship. The Bible teaches that relationships should honor God and align with His principles. Sexual immorality, including premarital sex, is clearly forbidden in scripture. As Hebrews 13:4 states, "Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled. But God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers." We encourage you to seek godly relationships that lead to a lifelong commitment in marriage, as God intended.
Furthermore, your mention of psychosis and its spiritual dimensions is significant. The Bible illustrates many instances where people experienced profound spiritual encounters that could be misconstrued as mental illness. The boy in Mark 9:17-18, who was possessed by a spirit, is a prime example. The original translations describe him as a "lunatic," highlighting the mental anguish caused by the demon. This shows that we must consider the spiritual aspect of mental health, rather than merely attributing everything to a medical condition.
Consider the story of the demon-possessed man in Mark 5:1-20, whom Jesus freed from his torment. This man was restored to his right mind, demonstrating that true healing comes from Jesus. We encourage you to seek Him for your healing and to trust that He can deliver you from all afflictions, both physical and spiritual.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, acknowledging Your sovereignty and power. We lift ### to You, asking for Your divine protection and healing. Deliver her from all demonic influences and restore her mind and spirit. Give her discernment to recognize the truth and reject the lies of the enemy. Guide her in Your holy ways, and lead her to godly relationships that honor You. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Continue to seek God's will and guidance through His Word, and trust that He will lead you in the path of righteousness. Stay strong in your faith and remember that Jesus is the only way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6). He is our Savior, and it is in His name that we find healing and salvation.
If there is anything else you need guidance on, please do not hesitate to share. We are here to support you with the wisdom and love of Christ.

I prayed for this in Jesus Name. Amen.
Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
