As a Christian Im not unaware[Spiritual warefare]

[FireHeart]

As a Christian im not unaware of satans movements in our faith. when I became a christian I obtained some hard trials, trials that had not God made me strong would have overcome me and I likely would not have gotten back up. i was never attacked by satan or at least at that level until i chose to love God with all my heart and soul, i have encountered demons before i even met satan once. Satan know that right now he has my hands tied in certain things and that as of now i am not strong enough to win.

Yes like many others I am always in some sort of spiritual battle and if anyone tells you we christians dont literally get attacked spiritually or that we dont fight demons everyday clearly has not seen what i have seen.
I pray a whole lot, I talk with God all the time about many things. in these conversations it is not uncommon for God to speak to me or for a demon to either, Its always a whisper from both sides each saying different things god will often say to me i can make you strong or trust me or be strong for me.

the demonic forces conversations are very different the will often tell me im going to lose as i often am concerned about losing to my fleshly desires or satan and I reply Im going to win. They say Im weak i reply im stronger than you say I am they often times remind me of my failing or shameful sinful acts and i admit for a second they catch me off gaurd but I then tell them to back off and say to them I will never give up.

You can call me crazy if you wish i wouldnt blame you but know that every second you breath in the unseen world a battle is being fought for you and you may be attacked in various ways. they know your weaknesses your fears your doubts your fleshly desires and they WILL use them against you.

You need to Read through Matthew 4 and see how Jesus battled the devil. Then copy and paste what Jesus did in Matthew 4 in your own life.

It take guts to post what you did, do not let any other Christian take that away from you. many Christians have no clue, but the battles and trials you face are real and Paul talks about them in Ephesians 6

Ty for your kind words, I have tried to tell ppl about this on Christian forums before and lots of them asked me if I ate something bad or if i see a doctor for this stuff and one gave me a number to a doctor who could [ Help] Me. But the thing is all of this is real even paul said we battle against things of the spirit not the flesh.

Keep fighting the good fight of faith. When the enemy talks to you, tell him the blood of Jesus is against him. It is the same
battles that everyone has. It teaches you about spiritual warfare and the enemies tactics. If one keeps working he will keep
do the same thing, but when your wise to it and it does not work anymore, he will try another.
It is in the bible, remember the seventy Jesus sent out in two's and they came back and said Lord even the spirits are subject to us through thy name.

The only spiritual weapon we have is the cross and it's the atomic bomb.

Yes! I completely agree.

One of Satan's great success right now is persuading many Christians that spiritual welfare does not exist. This causes many Christians to be unaware and weak in their walk with Christ.

I have so many weaknesses... Not even sure where to begin. I am most vulnerable when I am not prepared for battle... Including reading scripture, spending time with the Lord, resisting sin. And so many times Satan has whispered lies to me, even now, that I am constantly battling to overcome.

He tells me, "You are not beautiful. You are worthless. God can't use you. You're the reason everyone you love falls from God. You can never find complete fulfillment through God. Your prayers are pointless." But this is because Satan knows that God can use me in very powerful ways... And so he speaks lies into my ear... And sad to say... I fall for it most of the time. I hold back from what God has called me to do because I believe these things...

There are times when I do well and walk very firmly in Christ... But right now is not one of those times. However, God speaks truth to my heart, and when I spend time with him, the truth becomes more and more evident. He tells me, "You are beautiful and deeply loved. You are mine. You are worth more than you will ever understand, that is why I died for you. Its okay if you're not perfect because in your weakness I am strong. Through the blood of Christ, you are perfect. I can fulfill all of your needs. I hear all of your prayers. I collect ever tear you every cry. I love you with a wild and passionate kind of love."

Thank you fireheart for sharing this. It's a great reminder and I will try my best to fight on and keep on the full armor of God. And remember... Always be on guard, for when we put our guard down, is when we fall the hardest.

at the same time i would say that another one of satan's great successes right now is persuading many christians that he has more power than he really does...it isn't just a coincidence that christians who believe most strongly in 'spiritual warfare' are the ones who most frequently get caught up in it...a lot of times christians give satan power he isn't entitled to just by paying attention to him...

2 Corinthians 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

Ephesians 6:12-18 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

This is beautifully written and flows from the heart of God. You are beautiful and deeply loved.

The Bible says your wrong....plain and simple. why do you persist in keeping Jesus on the Cross?

funny how the first part of your statement, actually gives him power, the Bible says we are given all authority and power over him and his devils, through Jesus Christ. You give him power when you suggest a blood bought son or daughter does not have as much power as he does.

Satan is punk and has no authority over me and only gets authority over me, when I let him have it.

Matthew 4 completely refutes you here. Jesus did not win the battle against the devil, because he was Jesus.
