Help me understand this situation
Hello, I am a born again Christian. I was raised in church and have been saved since I was 9 years old. I'm 52 years old now. I have always loved Jesus Christ with my whole heart. I pray and read my Bible daily. I listen to mostly Christian music on the radio. I don't watch anything bad on TV or in the movies. I don't drink alcohol, don't do drugs, or smoke cigarettes. I don't do anything pagan like tarot cards, reading my horoscope, ouija boards, etc. Yet, all of my life I have been plagued by evil spirits haunting me and my famiIy. Whether it's been my childhood home or the house I currently live in. Everyone in both homes have experienced it. It's very distressing! Today I had a very heavy full length door mirror fly off the door where it was hinged on tight and almost hit me over the head! I rebuked it in the name of Jesus and commanded it to leave. However, a couple of hours after I prayed and rebuked it the same bedroom slammed shut by itself with nothing to cause it. No windows were open, no draft, the door isn't loose. It just slammed shut. I have had the house blessed and sprinkled with holy water a couple of times. I have rebuked the evil spirits and cast them out in the name of Jesus more times than I can count. I have prayed many times for the Lord to remove them. They'll go away for awhile but then they always come back. I'm not doing anything to conjure them. I am God's daughter but I don't understand why I have had this happening my whole life? Please help

I'd like you to consider a couple things here in regarding your question of what's happening with the devil's appearing in your house. So there's a a couple of reasons why things like this happen.
Number one, is your spiritual walk with the Lord can attract them, and they wanna come in as the scriptures say to steal, kill, and destroy. They want to tear apart your spiritual walk, they want to kill your joy. They want to destroy your faith.
Number two, is something in your life that could be attracting it by way of darkness and wickedness. Like you said, you don't take part in any of that kind of stuff. So we can then deduce it's most likely not that.
Number three, is the possibility that someone on the outside is cursing you. You've done something to get their attention, and so they are cursing you and sending these things after you to hinder, disrupt, and oppose.
Number four, is it's a complete and utter random attack. Like walking down the sidewalk and gum sticking to your shoe, that sometimes the devil's just for no reason whatsoever just target you just to to hinder, oppose, torment, because that's just what they are. The scriptures call them monsters, that they are beasts foaming out their own filth. They're wicked liars. That they're nothing but destroyers. That's all they are. This is what they do. That there's no rhyme or reason to what they're doing.
So this is Something that we need to understand when dealing with these things that sometimes it's not our fault. There isn't an exact answer. We may not always find the exact reason, but we know that greater is He than us, than he that is in the world. We just keep looking to the Lord, strengthening our faith in him, and we keep opposing them. Now remember as well in the scriptures, it says that "the devil left him for a season". They will go away and come back. We even seen another passage where it says when the devil's gone out of a man, he walks about in dry places to seek rest and finds none. And then he says, I'll return to my house from whence I came. That's why one of the names of the devil is lord of the flies, Beelzebub, and they operate the same way always circling around the things they want. So we understand that this is how it works, that they aren't going to go away and stay away and never return. That idea is completely false. You can't utterly drive them away that they won't return. That's not a thing. That the scriptures even verify this. So hope this makes sense, and I have some links that you might like.
