Demonic attacks 💥

By Moderator -
This article addresses a look at sin, demonic activity, a Christians response, and at the end provides additional resources for irl help, faq, and sermon messages for further study and Christian faith implementation as you trust God.  


Q: I feel like I am being attacked by the devil, it feels like a torment and even envades my thoughts. How can I get help ? 


A: 1st, are you a Christian? 
Have you truly understood & obeyed the Gospel?
Were you born again and not a false convert? 



We need to ensure we are not living in sin, as our flesh and Satans temptations bombard us, so we need to conquer them.
*choosing peer pressure over Scripture lead life
*not having close Christian friends & mentor @ church
*not seeking out you pastor for help(s)/guidance w issues
* coveting ^
*living in the world, like the world
*Listening to false preachers, & following false teaching 
*being trapped in false belief of works and legalism
*not being equipped for & not sharing the Gospel 
*doubting God, not believing the Bible, (calling God a liar)
*not conforming your life to what God reveals & teaches in the Bible ^


If you are living in sin, identify it all, kill it, and stop sinning. Jesus and what God revealed in Scripture points us to not sinning, having victory over it, because we are no longer controlled by it. We are free in Christ. 
How can we go on sinning if we really love Jesus? 🐊


Dealing with Satan 
As a Christian we are free from Satans control and chains. He cannot control us and keep us locked in sins anymore since God saved us, gave us a new nature and Spiritual life. We are free from Satan's chains. 

We are not free from:
*Satan tempting us, playing games to decieve us and trick us to go and sin. 
-But if we resist Him he will flee from us. He cant have his wicked toying with a human, if we dont let him. 

*Satan tempting us, seeing us falling into sin and then goes to God and try to accuse us before God. 
-Jesus has paid for all our sins on the cross. 
-God may allow Satan to mess in our lives so it used to discipline us, turn us closer to God, strengthens our faith, has another result only God knows.
-we do need to keep short sin accounts & run to God right away for forgiveness, and ask help to conqure it so it is never an issue again. Sin causes a fellowship block between us and God. Until we deal with the sin(s) he will not hear us and may discipline us. 


*Suffering and troubles in life. 
-we all are living in the fallen world, though Christians are redeemed from it. So we are all subject to the corruption, suffering and troubles in this world still. It wont be erased/destroyed until we enter eternity. 

Verses coming soon.



We are also going to
*experience a lot of additional problems. As the world hates Christians, because they are unsaved; they belong to their father the devil and are like puppets of evil he uses to affect the life of a believer. 

-you might lose family, friends, your job, a client, be put on a blacklist by certian groups etc. False converts may be culprits in the church or world too, and some believers 😥 might mess up and cause you harm too. 

*always do your best to be loving, kind, gracious, forgiving etc to all of them, because God was towards you, but also it helps be a living witness to your life as Christ follower (and may be seeds planted for their salvation, even if they wont listen to the gospel yet). It also heaps coal on their heads for the day of judgment because of their unbelief and mistreating one of God's children. But ultimately it is an attack on God. So endure it, be in prayer, and be gentle and kind, and do your best to be lovingly-gracious and long suffering, even if it feels unfair, because God will use these situations to grow your faith, depend on Him, and also to plant seeds in these unsaved ones. Theres hope for them until their last breathe. 

And if it is a believer, they will come to you to ask forgiveness. Because as believers who belong to God, are part of His body, and are brethren, we are Scripturally told to go to each other and deal with our sins. Some may be weak and dont realize they did wrong, or a few dont care because of a pride they've allowed in their life temporarily. Forgive them anyway, as God forgave you. We are not perfect, we just dont live in sin like the world does. Regardless, know the Christian life isnt easy. 



Keep short sin accounts 
How to deal with sin among the brethren 
Abounding in Forgiveness 


These "additional problems" are reasons we need to be reading the Bible DAILY so we can grow in the knowledge of God, become mature in the faith, and have the Word hidden in our hearts so the Holy Spirit can remind us, and so we can respond rightly to every situation, and give no foothold to the devil or to sin.

Being in the Word daily has great benefits. As mentioned, and also to trust God and know that GOOD is the outcome. Not necessarily for our good, [yes gaining faith, but it's not about some selfish benefit], but results can be for others and for His plan across humanity. Like Job, we may not know "why" but we understand God is good and everything he does or allows ultimately brings His plan to completion in the end. And so we hold Jesus Hand, he leads us through it, even if extremely difficult. The Apostles lives and Bible itself show us this in various historic stories, so we can trust God and obediently follow Him >(and look to see if he reveals something to us along the way or areas we can praise and glorify him as we go thru it or come out of it at the end). 😊
