Is Satan Attacking You?

Can Christians Be Under Attack From Satan?

Yes, I have seen many Christian’s come under spiritual attack.

In fact, when you come under demonic attack take comfort, because it means that you must be doing something right. And that something is an obvious threat to satan’s kingdom, if it weren’t….he wouldn’t bother with you.

In fact, look at what Jesus said to the Apostles:

 

"Simon, listen to me! Satan has demanded the right to test each one of you, as a farmer does when he separates wheat from the husks. But I HAVE PRAYED FOR YOU, Simon, that your faith will not fail. And when you turn back to me, you MUST strengthen your brothers."

Luke 22:31-32

So why would we think that if the apostle’s, who walked with Jesus, and gave up everything to follow Him, would come under attack, (so much so that Jesus Himself warned them, and prayed for them,) but that we, modern day Christians couldn’t or wouldn’t?

In the New Testament, Jesus actually spoke more about satan, demonic attack and hell, than He did about Heaven.

Now the question is…

What can we do about it?

For one thing, I believe we all have to make the decision to be ALL IN for the Kingdom of God, because we simply can’t peacefully live a blessed life with one foot in, and one foot out.


Can we go to Heaven, and still be watching rated R movies? Yes, I think we can.


Can we still go to Heaven while listening to worldly music, and reading our astrology?

Yes, I believe we can.


Can we still go Heaven while having premarital sex and/or drinking? While not paying tithes/offerings or being in service?

Yes, I believe if our hearts truly belong to Jesus…we can. And by the way, I am the LAST PERSON that would cast a stone of judgement.


However all these worldly things can serve as open doors to the enemy, giving him permission, or legal rights to attack us, making our suffering in this world far more intense.

In Contrast

In contrast…the blessings that come from following the law, (like being a faithful tither) can offer a lot of protection against those attacks.


Take a look at this scripture about tithes, blessings, and protection…

"Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. TEST ME ON THIS," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out SO MUCH blessing that there will not be room enough to store it. I'll prevent the devourer from harming you, so that HE does not destroy the crops of your land, NOR will I allow the vine to lose its fruit before harvest," says the LORD who rules over all.

Malachi 3:10-11

I Love That Promise

I love that promise, and I can give my personal testimony that it is true, however this is just ONE of the benefits of obedience, (the blessings of Abraham) and just one of the ways that we can receive protection from our enemy satan.

One more thing I’d like to add is that although I understand that in this age of social media, most of us have been guilty of presenting a version of ourselves that is far from the truth of how things REALLY are…

And sadly I believe that in doing so it leaves us, the Body of Christ at a disadvantage…and feeling very alone.

Eventually, when the storms come, as they inevitably will, we are often too embarrassed to talk about it.

Looking through the perfect profile pages of all of our friends and family, we choose to keep our struggles a secret, and suffer alone without the support and encouragement of other Christians.

I believe a little transparency about our weaknesses is an act of courage and love. I think it’s what is needed to not only overcome everything the enemy throws at us, but to strengthen one another along the way.

I think it’s time to drop the facade, and come clean about what we’re going through; YES, even the things that shake the very foundation of our faith.
 

"Your LOVE for one another, gives proof to the world that you belong to Me."

John 13:35

In Closing

In closing, I would just like to list a few recommendations for you to read through yourself…as I am not an expert, by any stretch of the imagination.
My only desire is to pass on to each of you, the knowledge and resources that changed my life for the better.
Ok, so this is HANDS DOWN the best sermon series I have ever watched about spiritual warfare.

Protection Prayer

Father, I thank You that You have never rejected me and You never will. Even if other people reject me, You have received me unconditionally, and I am accepted in Jesus Christ. I thank you that my acceptance doesn't depend upon anything but Jesus, and the finished work of the cross. I am not ashamed before You, as I am completely forgiven and cleansed by the blood of Jesus. Thank You that You have distanced my transgressions, as far from me, as the east is from the west.
I will not allow the enemy to harass me about the past anymore. I repent of my sins, and choose to forgive myself and receive the full freedom of Your forgiveness.
I thank You that my body can function perfectly in Your peace. Healed and made whole, my mind is at rest, as I choose to forget past failures and struggles. Lord, I embrace Your love, Your thoughts, and Your ways.
Father God, I confess that there is anger and resentment in my heart, and ask that You to deliver me from it.
Because of the price Jesus paid, and the finished work of the cross, I can forgive others in His name.
As a matter of will, I forgive every person who has ever harmed me, rejected me, hurt me, betrayed me, or spoken against me and I ask that this forgiveness would take root in my spirit. I free them now in my thoughts, and I no longer hold their sins against them. I ask You Lord to bless them in Your mercy.
In the name of Jesus I scatter every demonic strategy that comes against any area of my life, and I renounce every spell or curse that has been spoken over me. I break even word curses that I've spoken over myself. For it is written, "Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil." In the name of Jesus I cancel the effects that these spells and curses have had on my mind, my will and my emotions.
I take back the ground the enemy has gained in any area of my life, and I recommit that ground to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Lord I ask You to fill me with Your Holy Spirit, and I thank You that I am a brand new creation. All the old has passed away, and I stand clean in Your sight.
I receive Your healing grace, by the cleansing power of the Holy Spirit within me.
I'm thankful that You control me, not my emotions, satan, his emissaries, or what other people say.


Cleanse Home

Your assignment has been cancelled, and you are not welcome here.
Lord I ask You to close any doors that have been opened to the demonic, right now in the name of Jesus Christ, knowingly or unknowingly, and ask You to seal them closed with the blood of Jesus. Father, I thank you for doing this, as I ask You to fill me and this home with Your Holy Spirit, for where Your light resides, no dark thing may enter.
I ask You Heavenly Father to deploy Your warrior angels, and post them on the four corners of this home/property/apartment, to guard it from the attempts of the enemy to enter and disturb Your purposes for me/us.
