As Satan's time is short, you can bet we are all on lists of 'people to conquer' in the underworld. When I am not being attacked and things are smooth, is when I examine my behavior to see how my actions are possibly doing the devil's bidding because he is leaving me alone. When I am being attacked, it is strong, disturbing and scary sometimes. How have you been attacked spiritually and what did you do? Resist the devil and he will flee from you.....(but he always comes back. )

Not many and nothing serious, but I believe it is not something we should dwell on since it places more focus on Satan. If I feel that I am being attacked I quote scripture.
I am not trying to put a focus on satan but as Christians we cannot act like it isn't happening and remain clueless to it because if he is going to attack anyone, it is us! It is important that we know what the enemy is capable of without giving him place.

All these things may be the case but one thing needs to be made clear. He's the one who's going to fear US and not we him! Jm 4:7The devil likes to terrorize or make timid Christians believers. Here I think is the mind set we need to have about not only him but his whole kingdom. When they come near us which they will for their committed to test us out well we test them out and by counter attack. Think of it in sports like hockey. You might get a body check onto the ice but you rise up and say fine.....skate around a little and as the game continues BLAM!

You knock him with a body check into the boards TWICE AS HARD, and you make sure it's twice as hard as he hit you. That would mean if the devil attacks you say fine.....take authority over his attack of course, and just for that that means I'm going to double up on feeding my spirit with God's words and teachings.....that means I'm doubly up on prayer and seeking to win and encourage people to receive the Lord. In other words the dark kingdom says every time we do that look what happens. They make a decision to jump up and be twice as strong! Of course with your becoming stronger and stronger it's too late for him. You're now consumed with much determination to be like this forever.

Walk in His Holy Spirit daily.
This will indeed put an end to all that evil. Be blessed.

I've seen the "Hat Man" and the Grim Reaper frequently walking through my house and watching me sleep.
When I see these things, I pray and try to ignore them (as their goal is it derail your faith).
I read the bible, go to church at least weekly and I've started to pray the rosary more frequently.

I know when I have been in a spiritual battle. The Lord always gives us rest, and this last week was difficult. Yesterday I slept for sixteen hours straight. This morning I know the difference, what ever we were fighting in the spiritual realm last week was overcome. Now I must get back in the word and prayer. God can only use us if we are ready and He knows the heart.

This is a tricky question yet there is an answer, King Solomon wrote about seers:
Samuel was the first seer. He anointed Saul as first King of Israel. The Lord was not happy with this arrangement because man wanted his own kingship. This ends badly, and Samuel tells King Saul, " You acted foolishly." This leads to Saul seeking the Witch of Endore because Saul can no longer hear God's voice. She brings up Samuel's spirit. This only makes matter worse for Saul. Not only was he absolutely distraught, now he can't eat. The Witch of Endore lays out her best home cooked meal just to get him out of her house. They leave.

Ecclesiastes 11:3

If clouds are full of water, they pour rain on the earth. Whether a tree falls to the south or to the north, in the place where it falls, there it will lie.


Our definition of seer, brings into question the source of future predictions.
Only God know the future, and He lets his prophets speak into this world, the words that bring
about the events that He wants to have happen. This is very hard on the flesh and requires much effort.
He uses both men and women, as prophets.
==========================================
We speak the testimony of Jesus.

Revelation 19:10

... Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophesy.

The word ( Prophesy ) used here is : Knowing the future

I mean can you see in the spirit, not the future. I read a book where a man was just getting the gift of seeing in the spirit, and the scales were coming off of his eyes and he was seeing something large and strange and he asked " What is this I am seeing?" And an angel said " Well, that is my tunic!" And then the man was able to see a large angel standing there, and he was wearing a tunic! Here is a video I found fascinating about a man who was given the gift of visual discernment.

I understand your question now. All born again spirit filled Christian's can see into the spirit realm. We are reborn spirits after we accept Jesus into our hearts. Our reborn spirit dwells in heaven and in our bodies at the same time. This is the link between heaven and earth, we also know this door as the entrance to heavenly realms. Jesus tells us that the kingdom of heaven dwells within our bodies, this is why we believe so. To knock at the door means that you recognize Jesus as your Lord and Savior, and you can say with your mouth: JESUS IS LORD. Now the interesting part: There is a spiritual realm, an unseen realm. This realm is spoken about by Paul in his book to the Ephesians. We find this passage in chapter six, I will take you to the verse twelve. The numbers are how to remember where these our powerful weapons are located. Six a number of man ( on the sixth day God created man) and twelve double six. Paul tells us of this place, called the heavenly realms. Here the spirits (angels) good and evil (devils) do battle. Paul tells us to come boldly before the throne of God, yet we must pass through this realm. There are many scriptures to study and understand about this spiritual place, more real than this natural place.

============================================================
Warning, The following is meat of the word, and may be hard to understand.
I see very few open visions of these entities because: Those who have authority in the spirit, are well known and send the devils running. Devils are cowards, they attack, children, hurting family members, those we preach salvation to. The first thing I teach is that if you want to fight against the forces of evil this pleases Jesus, who will pick up the sword with you and teach you how to wield it, it is your most cherished weapon( your tongue). Read the sixth chapter of Ephesians, meditate on each sentence. This is where our authority lives. Before going into any battle ( earthly encounters ) prepare.
Standing means that we sometime can't move forward, but we never retreat. Always remember you are standing in the armor of Jesus, maybe scared, shaking and unsure. The Lord knows how much you can endure and he will quickly pull you out if that is required. Not all Christians are warriors. Narrow is the road that leads to the door of salvation and we will defend that road all all cost.
