Spiritual Attack

[FaithBuilder]

Hello fellow Christians!! I am completely new to this site so please so forgive me if I am posting in the wrong section (feel free to move this thread to the relevant section if so).

I've come under the realisation this evening that I think I have been subjected to spiritual attack for the last couple of months

I'm currently exploring a vocation (to ministry) and am doing various training and studying Theology as a result. Things have been going so well and then all of a sudden things just started happening. There was problems developing in my family circle, with my friends and even my marriage. My heart became hardened, I doubted, I struggled with intrusive thoughts and sinful thoughts, I struggled with feeling 'drawn' back to old bondages, I became irritable, snappy and hostile.... I felt bleak, weak, anxious and massively fatigued and I have struggled enormously with motivation and willpower recently too

Basically all this came to a head tonight, i haven't understood where all these feelings and temptations had come from until this evening during a long and enlightening prayer and for some reason it just came to me and I suddenly understood and everything made sense. I have prayed that all evil may be banished from me, my family, animals and our home and suddenly it feels like a whole weight has been lifted! I googled the symptoms of 'spiritual attack' about an hour ago and oh my goodness! I felt like it was talking about me and was written for me! I have had all the symptoms for the last few months (before then everything was great and absolutely fine)...

Anyway... I would just like to ask that you may please pray for me and my journey and family. I don't know exactly why I wrote this post!! I guess i just needed to get this of my chest

I am praying for you now! Remember to praise, worship, and give thanks in ALL things - the enemy will flee. Remember the devil is a defeated foe. Remember that greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world. Meditate on His promises, and consider fasting.

Thank you so so much!! I will heed your advice. I never thought about fasting... although I have to say, I don't know much about it at all.

It might have been demon as well. Have you conspired exorcism?

That has been a worry of mine... do these symptoms suggest a possible demonic influence do you think....? I mean I know that a spiritual attack is demonic in nature but are you suggesting it could of been more than that?

No, not really. If you google depression you probably get pretty much the same symptoms.

I have had depression before and although it felt like that at times, it felt 'different' if that makes sense....

Difficult to say if there is demonic presence. The issue with that is there are many different indicators, but not all may be applicable. Hard to explain, but let's relate back to the New Testament scriptures. In one example we see a person with deafness and blindness from a demon. In another example someone with a type of epilepsy. The point is they are all different. Just so with indicators, and the same indicators could be cited from a medical perspective.
Better to look at both you and your husband's family history as much is often revealed through that.

Some indicators could be things like sickness, dizziness, loss of time, memory loss, fear, anxiety, depression, confusion, insanity, addictions, compulsions etc. the list is endless.
