In a dream an evil spirit tries to pull me down literally.

.

I am reminded of the sin that dwells in our members. I always consider this when discerning the spirits. (near the end of Romans 7)

This might mean you will become a very strong member of the Christian church in the future, because demons could be targeting you. I've had plenty of issues with demons, and I know how to sense for them. To get rid of them you say you strip away all the power of the demonic around your home, and 'I' release the hosts of heaven on their assignments to the pulling down of strongholds. You can do this for your home, someone else's home, your state, which is frankly important. Yes if you're being targeted very much then you are probably considered a major threat.

I always heard that it's vital to say you send the demons away in Jesus Christ's name - like, actually say that name. But maybe just the 'hosts of heaven' does the same, idk.
But man, I really agree with you! This is indeed the way to go!

I think you forgot to add this:

Romans 8
Life Through the Spirit

1Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 2because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set youa free from the law of sin and death. 3For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh,b God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering.c And so he condemned sin in the flesh, 4in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

and this:

Romans 3:23

23for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God

and this: (in the whole context)

There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, 23for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. 25God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement,i through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished— 26he did it to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.

ut why can't I have that strong of a prayer life for actual physical needs.

Physical need prayers are difficult because you have to believe without seeking self. Seeking self is contrary to love. But for example, I believed God for a job... because 1) God tells us in scripture to have a job 2) my therapist told me to get a better job than where I was working. So in obedience I went and got a job. It was very simple because I just believed God and I wasn't seeking my own because I was being obedient to what I was told to do.

Seek the needs of others, and understand God fully and abundantly provides for his workers. Just last weekend, i was ministering to a relative during a fishing trip. And I got thirsty... it was like a spiritual thirsty even, not just normal thirsty. And I wanted a drink bad, so I prayed... "I have water you do not know about, my water is to do the will of the Father."

But he said to them, "I have food to eat that you know nothing about."
Then his disciples said to each other, "Could someone have brought him food?"
"My food," said Jesus, "is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work.

And then as we were leaving, the other guy mentioned a fountain of water coming out from the side of the hill. And I looked at it, it had been there the whole time, but I was looking at it and realized it was very fresh spring water. And I got a drink from God!

God also got us a fish I prayed for.

So my question is has anyone fought an evil spirit like this?

It's normal as a Christian. Make sure you're water baptized. Read Romans 6.

Also why do evil spirits seem to seek me out, I've seem to have constant battles with evil spirits, I remember when I first became a Christian I fought an evil spirit named Leviathan and it was a very strong evil spirit, I really felt like the Archangel Michael actually came down to help defeat this evil spirit. In fact I remember asking God to send him to protect me, and to help in this fight, I really felt like angels were there fighting on my behalf, but I remember calling out in Jesus name to leave me, and it wouldn't leave, so I did it again, and it still fought against me, then I asked God to brings his Archangel's to fight for me and to protect me, the Lord did step in and

When we're water baptized, demons lose dominion in our bodies. Now, it's possible they gain a foothold for other reasons in the areas around us.

I suggest you learn faith authority. I think it's awesome you know about angels. Angels are new to me in terms of having them help us.

But before I knew about angels, I would just fight demons with faith. Maybe angels showed up to enforce faith? I don't know, but trusting God's word works.

Read Psalm 91. Also repent of any evil things. Forgive. Know about covenant authority. Read all blessings of Deuteronomy 28.

Death, poverty, war, and deception are all defeated by Christ.

Leviathan is a demon of pride. False humility and pride will give it a foothold. To overcome, believing God's word is the only way.... God's word is the only way to be free of pride, no amount of self-damage will do it.

thus I believe this is why I was attacked, bc I am making a conscious effort to get involved in church.

These kinds of things happen to me as a direct result of sin.

be careful that you do not ascribe an identity to something you do not know the name of.. 'who is man to know who is speaking to him?'

I have been tripped up perhaps half a dozen times in my life because I presume a dream was or wasn't from God because i thought i had discerned the identify of one or more of the persons in it.

Sometimes dreams are just dreams.
Eating before bed, having lots of stress on your mind, fearing certain things in scripture, can all mess with the subconscious and bring weird dreams to the fore.
