Spiritual Attack

Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.

Ephesians 6:10

Today's Bible Reading: Ephesians 6:10-18.

Spiritual warfare is more common than you might think. We tend to think of demonic oppression as a strange thing happening in our life. This list is not exhaustive, but it will show you how the enemy attacks

1. Feeling discouraged, defeated, and depressed. Things seem hopeless, overwhelming, and burdensome. You feel an overall sense of disappointment. Struggle with a lack of peace and feeling stress, and feel like giving up.

2. Loss of spiritual desire. Difficulty with prayer life, and maintaining your work with God.

3. Physical fatigue. Feeling drained and lacking energy. No motivation.

4. Doubting God’s goodness. Struggling with trusting God. You may even feel anger towards God for “letting you down.” Believing that God is angry with you and punishing you

5. Negative, disturbing thought life. The enemy attacks your mind. You may be wrestling with anxious, fearful, or worrying thoughts. Many times, people will erroneously think that nobody cares about them.

6. Thinking about going back to your old lifestyle. The enemy places thoughts in your mind about returning to your old life rather than moving forward with faith in God.

7. Old emotional wounds resurfaced. You believed you had dealt with that area of pain in your life, only to find out it is attacking you again.

8. Battling with feelings of guilt, condemnation, and shame. The difficult feeling like you are not good enough, that you do not do enough.

9. Feelings of rejection. You feel no one truly understands you, and do not feel like you belong anywhere.

10. Confusion over what you believe. Is Jesus really for me? Is Jesus the only way?

These and other confusing thoughts are spiritual attacks. If you feel you are under spiritual attack, do not give up! Attacks will come, but know God is fighting for you, and it shall pass.

Prayer: Father, fortify me in the truth of Your Word. In the mighty name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
