suffering at the enemy’s hand..delivered to the ungodly and wicked...
Iniquity cast upon me...and the times I would be in tribulation I would be in the enemy’s hands and would go through such torment suffering and adversity...with fears around me and at times I would feel cursed..but the Lord has been faithful to deliver.. it’s just I’m not sure what to do.. but seek the Lord..

You mean you suffer from this:

John 12:25

Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life.

John 15:19

If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

James 4:4

Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

1 John 2:15

Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

1 Corinthians 4:11

Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwelling place; 12 And labor, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it: 13 Being defamed, we entreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the off scouring of all things unto this day. 14 I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you."

Matthew 5:3

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. 5 Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. 6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. 7 Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. 8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. 9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. 10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Luke 6:20

“Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. 21 Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh. 22 Blessed are you when people hate you, when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil, because of the Son of Man. 23 “Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For that is how their ancestors treated the prophets. 24 “But woe to you who are rich, for you have already received your comfort. 25 Woe to you who are well fed now, for you will go hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep. 26 Woe to you when everyone speaks well of you, for that is how their ancestors treated the false prophets.

2 Corinthians 12:10

That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Matthew 10:22

You will be hated by everyone because of Me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.

Philippians 1:21

For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. 22 If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know! 23 I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far; 24 but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body. 25 Convinced of this, I know that I will remain, and I will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith

1 Thessalonians 3:7

Therefore, brothers and sisters, in all our distress and persecution we were encouraged about you because of your faith. 8 For now we really live, since you are standing firm in the Lord.

This is where we should all start! Ask Him to fill you with His Holy Spirit so that you have the "Whole Armour of God" to repel much or all of the anxiety you are harnessing in you life. Remember, there is "No Fear in Love". Jesus Christ of Nazareth is all LOVE. Perfect LOVE casts out all fear. Be made "perfect in Him"
Blessings.

1 John 4:18
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.

@Holy_joe

I can’t comment too much since I don’t know what God sees in your day to day life, but I do know He is directing you in some way.
I see you are where I was some years ago at work when I was experiencing spiritual battles such as this. I felt like I was going crazy but I was being sharpened by God everyday by reading His Word and spending time with Him.
The enemy hates that and has thrown everything at me to try and deter me from following Jesus Christ.

The only way to get through this is by trusting and having faith in Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour. To learn His Word from His Holy Spirit and to ask for His strength and endurance. Listen to His voice and wait for His timing.

I would try to progress my life with work... for scripture speaks of work and labouring to provide for his household if one doesn’t they are worse then an infidel... or anyone who does not work neither should he eat..

I tried going to school and lasted for a couple months until I’ve been swept away by the enemy into tribulation in such distress I could not be able to withstand it and while going to school in suffering and I would be delivered and I would get a job so I would start working then I am attacked and tormented at work so I took a leave of absence because I profess Christ and that just doesn’t potray a good image of a child of God and then through the tribulation distress and torment I am delivered again thanks to the Lord who is good but I would go to work again having faith that it would not happen again and then again I am distressed and would seem to come into torment that I could not work...took another leave of absence so I did not lose my job I still have it...but I don’t know what to do because the Lord commands us to work but when I go to work I would be good for a few months until the enemy would seem to have his way and torment and distress me at work that it’s hard to work where I don’t know what to do but to retreat because of the oppressive power..

so I don’t want to try again because I don’t think I can keep doing this I believe I would actually lose my job.. I want to work but I am stopped.. even though I think I may be obeying the Lord..

I don’t know what to do im at a loss...I do have a doctor I see and that covers me relating to my work...but scripture tells us to work and if I’m not doing what the Word says I feel I am drawing back and not progressing in life I keep coming back to this place of failure it seems.. I’m not sure what Gods heart is towards me in this..I’m sure he sees this but awaiting the day when I would be at liberty...

Do not be surprised at the fiery trials you are experiencing. God uses all things to His higher purpose, even when we do not understand it from down here.
God has a plan for you though. He will work it out. Just wait on Him, trust in Him, and be patient.

I hear people talk of "the enemy". There is only one person who either makes your life good or bad and that is you. It says in the bible "you reap what you sow". So if you are having a bad time at school/job/college/whatever, you have to ask yourself why. Why are you being attacked (verbally I assume) wherever you go? There must be something you are doing wrong in order to attract this wherever you go. I am speaking from experience so i know what i am talking about. Now this doesn't happen as I am aware of what I was doing wrong in order to attract this. It's all about self-awareness and God always pointed out to me where I was going wrong and how to put it right.

I disagree. Toxic people exist.

torment suffering -means what? Your co-workers set fire to your chair? Threw pens at your head? Tossed salt in your coffee?

If you talk to them like a walking Bible then no wonder.

Details, in normal everyday English, please.

I. THE ACCUSER. The accuser, in this instance, is the enemy of our souls. An accuser need not necessarily be a foe — a friend may accuse; but his relationship to us depends upon the object he has in view by accusing us. If his intention be to harass and vex the accused, then he is an enemy; but if his design be to reform, then, indeed, he is a friend. Though the law accuses, the law is not our enemy. The law is our "schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ." But the design of Satan in accusing the saints is to afflict them, and not that he may induce them to amend their ways; it is not zeal for the glory of God that urges him to blame them for their remissness; he merely takes advantage of their failings to molest them...

IV. THE TRIBUNAL. It is not to be imagined that Satan gains admittance into heaven, there to lay his charges against the saints, because he has been eternally banished thence. Neither is it by any means probable that, were permission granted him to enter there, he would avail himself of it. And the reason of this is quite plain. He that bruised his head sits triumphant there. His design is to create enmity between God and His children; his purpose is to effect a breach between the saints and their heavenly Father. He endeavours to embitter their spirits when they approach God in meditation and prayer. He strives to weaken their power in prayer, and so to crush their faith as to render it powerless to bear the blessing they came to seek.

Know this: All Christians have the Holy Spirit!

Romans 8
1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death...

38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Paul had the Holy Spirit.

2 Corinthians 12
7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. 8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. 9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

Having the Holy Spirit doesn't mean you won't suffer or have any illness or not be physically blind or deaf. A soldier who loses his leg in battle can have the Holy Spirit. A person born without arms can have the Holy Spirit.

You still deserve disability checks/cheques!

Most of us are unsure of His plans. I think Holy Scripture just tells us to keep busy and avoid idleness. It doesn’t necessarily mean a 9-5 job.

Kind of at a loss.
