Like in my case m parents. I think this is one of the few cases where Satan is trying to hide with in the anxiety I already naturally have to make things worse. I'm just curious if that's possible.

Nope. The only power Satan has is the power we give him because Jesus won. It sounds to me like you're struggling with anxiety on a level beyond what you're gonna find help for on an internet forum. Are you seeking council?

Of course I'm seeking help for my anxiety. I'd probably go insane with out it, and God helping me out...

Crap, I wish the edit button would last longer...

satan can enter into our heads and cause us to believe alot of things, that is why there is very seldom any Christians that can agree on anything, this is why we have so many different denominations, that believe they are right and most others are wrong. this is why God had to warn us to yeild our members unto righteousness and not unto unrighteousness. and satan does not have to ask you anything, did Paul say that the devil asked him permission to send His messenger. the thorn in the side the messenger of Satan to buffet Him, I see no where that satan had asked paul if his messenger could buffet him actually I see just the opposite, Paul asking God to remove it. satan has convinced many that they are not saved , so that they will have to keep asking God all the time to save them, instead of using the faith That He has saved us

Mt 24:24For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the VERY ELECT.

If you think Satan is the reason Christians can't agree on anything, then you should perhaps consider that the rest of the world can't agree on anything either.

Confusion is a tool of satan. But trust in Jesus and his Holy Spirit to guide you. Honor your parents and give your anxiety about them to Jesus and he will bring you peace about this. God Our Father glorifies himself in all our weaknesses , when we put our trust in him.
God bless, pickles

so am I to consider that the rest of the world can't agree on anything!!! why? are you saying that satan can't influence the rest of the world?? this makes no sense whatsoever can you please explain what you mean here. God is not the author of confusion,

Mr 4:15And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, SATAN cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.
Re 12:9And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and SATAN, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.


I think The whole world includes christians and nonbelievers

All I'm saying is that I think you're giving Satan too much credit, when these problems can just as easily be explained by human incompetence.

Re: Is it possible it possible for Satan to make you not trust the people closest to

Pastor Keith, I agree with you 100 %., Satan decieves us any way he can and sometimes to just sit back and let us do all the work by allowing us to let our minds and mouths run free in pretending that we as christians have it all together and just because we think have God within us that nothing can harm us is a false truth unless we stand on His promise. We are all tempted. Even Jesus. But giving in to temptation is the sin.
Satan will use what ever course necessary to gain his hold on us if he can as he tried on Jesus too.
Jesus was Gods son, but that didnt stop Satan from trying non the less. So even us as His adopted sons and daughters of the Father, be under any less scrutiny? I think not.
It is said that Jesus has done and was under the same kinds of things we have gone through to be our example that we too can bear through it all as long as we first surrender to Him and then all things will be possible through Christ who strengthens me.
Many want to take only the second part of that verse and forget the first. We cant stand and have all the strength in Christ to stand if we dont first surrender to Him, for that is the key.
Surrender means to submit to Him our troubles, our thought and our weaknesses, basically our whole beings. What kind of thoughts does Satan put in our minds that we need to surrender to Christ first before we can be strengthend? We cant do it alone and ignoring the truth will not help us in the least.

For where the mind goes, the man follows... and then it becomes sin. It is all about choice. We need to stop the sin before it becomes action, and that means we need to stop it in the mind first. Rid ourselves of every unpure thought and every unlcean thinking for our words have consiquences both good and bad.
Didnt the bible say in John 1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God Himself." Isaiah 9:6 Ref


The truth shall set us free. But we need to open our eyes to see it.

Satan can’t make you do anything. At the same time, this also is true:

Now the serpent was more subtle than any other wild creature that the LORD God had made. Genesis 3:1a RSV

Satan wants to destroy every christian family. Mistrust is just one of his weapons.
