We seem to be getting hit left and right and right and left. I know of a few others who are as well. I'd like to know if this is widespread. Satan appears to be attacking nonstop. We no sooner get through one issue then we're hit with another. I'm wondering if it's due to the end times.

The world system is collapsing. Morality in so-called Christian nations is collapsing. The state of Victoria has introduced legislation to imprison parents who try to talk even young children out of gender change. And anyone can complain to the authorities. If nothing changes, it will be law in February next year. The Australian Christian Lobby has produced leaflets to warn people what is going on. I will be distributing flyers in my area. Any Aussies interested, feel free to contact me.

God's judgement is obvious to anyone who is paying attention. Christians especially need to get active in prayer and resisting Satan. All God has to do is pull His protection. Satan does the rest.

I believe the Restrainer has been removed. The evidence includes high towers and bastions of academic and scientific work being trampled by the masses on the whims of a few. The feelings of people are prompting the rewrite of long-held biological and societal beliefs. This ties back to the original lie "You will like God, defining for yourselves what is good and evil".

@Aaron56,
I disagree with your belief that only he who now let's will let until he be taken out of the way and the man of sin be revealed has been removed?
I am Holy Ghost baptized as promised by Jesus according to his apostles on Pentecost!

Plus the Holy Spirit (aka Ghost) is with every believer as part of the God head!
We ALL WOULD know IF WE WERE ALONE.

@saintrose ,
We very much are in a spiritual battle and it is unto life( eternal) or death by deceptive.
We must keep our armor in good working order and our eyes,ears and heart tuned to God.
We also must be a united army,with the common cause to make more soldiers for Jesus by the great commission!

Aaron,the scripture you inferred is 2 Thess: ch.2
It is talking about Jesu's return and our gathering unto him.
It tells us what to look for when the Antichrist is near to be revealed and for us NOT to be troubled.
A warning and a comfort.
We see already apostasy,the great falling away happening and Paul is encouraging us to be aware the time is near.
The Holy Spirit is the only one who STANDS between the devils deception and us as a guard and guide.

I also BELIEVE THE FULL GOSPEL and all Jesu's promises

Oh, I see.

I think we agree on much except maybe the timing of the Restrainer being removed. To me, it has already happened but you are saying it comes later. Is that right?

Yes just before the Antichrist is revealed is my understanding.

I like that you identified the attack as “spiritual” because we don’t fight against flesh and blood….

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
Ephesians 6:12 - https://www.biblegateway.com/passage?search=Ephesians 6:12&version=NKJV

Our only battle in the physical realm is to love….

Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.
1 Corinthians 13:4-8 - https://www.biblegateway.com/passage?search=1 Corinthians 13:4-8&version=NKJV

The Narcissism Exposed thread also is clear on this, we are in a spiritual battle.
Praying without ceasing in the divine prayer language is the best, strongest, fastest way I know to walk in His power and protection.

Any person who is a blood bought, born again, disciple of Jesus the Christ is and will be attacked spiritually.

The deceiver cares not to attack those who do not believe in or follow Jesus. Why should he? They already belong to him. He wants to cause doubt and fear to creep into the hearts of the children of God, and will do this by any means at his disposal.

We have to have the faith to stand strong, and trust in God, for Jesus has already defeated the deceiver and holds the keys to hell in his hands.

He promised he would never leave or forsake us, we MUST BELIEVE!

The devil work more if you endanger his position.
For the last 2 month in my country Indonesia people talking about how police arrest and torture ex imam now Christian preacher, he is youtube his name is Mohamed Kece arrested by police because Muslim high council offended by the way he use Quran to prove Jesus is God and savior, it attract some young Muslim to accept the Lord. Police arrest him, and his lawyer can see him till he push it than the lawyer say there is evident of torture, spme body bit him force him eat human waste, the lawyer say he unconsious during torture and wake it up by pouring water than bit it again.
Devil try to punish people that expose his crime. And I say, the torture prove mr mohamad kece right, Muslim as bad as what he say even worse. Muslim don't want people say they are bad, why they prove it bad by torturing mr kece?

The world system is collapsing. Morality in so-called Christian nations is collapsing. The state of Victoria has introduced legislation to imprison parents who try to talk even young children out of gender change. And anyone can complain to the authorities. If nothing changes, it will be law in February next year. The Australian Christian Lobby has produced leaflets to warn people what is going on. I will be distributing flyers in my area. Any Aussies interested, feel free to contact me.

That's horrendous about that law - the state is trying to take over and mold youth into the image of the beast. In America they let males who identify as females in the female restrooms. I knew it was a recipe for rape. I was scared to death to use the women's restrooms in public after seeing a man walk from the women's room. I knew rape was inevitable. Sure enough my predictions came true: a young girl was raped in the women's restroom at school. It's insanity. Then they arrested the girls father for complaining about it!

We're in Sodom and Gomorrah and I don't like it.

We are facing the beast. I give you much credit for handing out flyers - we all need to do that. It's odd but seems as if many are sleepwalking - I'm wondering if it's some kind of spiritual veil or mass hypnosis or mass spiritual attack. Do others see this? Then we are getting attacked in multiple ways - literally nonstop. Through others and events. It's gotten so bad I prayed God would remove us.

I've been praying throughout the day and continue to feel a pressure from everything collapsing. I tend to sense things more than others so I'm like the canary in the coal mine. I feel something coming and it's pretty hard to endure. I can barely stand to read alternative news due to the craziness - we're being attacked from every side. I don't really have the stomach for it.

It appears so as evil is just flooding in on us. Science is the new 'god.' Anyone who trusts so-called 'experts' is unwise. Give me the person who is honest with no letters after their name. It's come out now that doctors such as Carrie Madej are new age and not Christians. Controlled opposition.

We are in precarious times. Deception is rampant.

It's almost more than I can bear to be in this time and watching everything crumble around us. On top of that we're getting attacked spiritually. Please pray for loved one who are in darkness. It hurts. I can't understand why God won't remove the veil. I've fasted and prayed and still nothing. A pastor told me years ago that prayer was like chopping down a tree - you have to keep at it but sometimes it seems futile and I get discouraged.

There is so much going on now that is discouraging.

Yes the spiritual battle is wearying however. We had stopped attending church and bible study due to the closures and have not returned. I think that's part of it since I'm not in a body of believers.

I keep praying but I'll be honest - I get weary when I don't see God answer. I have had answers to prayer through my life but not that many. I've been praying throughout the day and fasted but still continue to get hit with nonstop attacks. I listened to a good sermon by Pastor Chuck Baldwin who said that we are going to face an intense and wearying (he used another term but can't recall it) battle. But it seems that God won't give us a break.

I know we're called to be soldiers but sometimes it seems to go beyond the pale.

What are you calling "Attacks"?
The little temptations that the devil uses will be with us while we are here.
I have heard people who have been taken to the other side and returned say that is gone when over there, only to return when they are allowed to come back to this side of the veil.
bless you

I am having my faith attacked. I expected help from God and none came so doubts that I had settled long ago crept back in. There are so many promises in the Bible and very few seem to come true. I have even screamed at God for not helping when I expected help from Him. I used to talk to a lawyer who walked away from God after handling priest sex abuse cases.

Where was God?

I had something pretty bad happen to me and I walked away from God but there was nothing else. I even had a Christian "friend" whose life sailed along smoothly behave like a hypocrite and like Job's friends accuse of doing 'something' wrong. Yet I watched her and her husband cheat a couple out of money after their son hit the woman's car. So why isn't she getting hit? Judgement begins with the house of God.

I am watching someone else that I care about be tormented from lack of God helping. His marriage and business fell apart -and he's turned to substances - and he's the best person I have ever known in my entire life. He lives christianity more than any pastor I've known. It really hurts. It's as if the very foundation and underpinnings of my faith are being shaken. Where are the promises? Why is he suffering and not another?

A so-called "Christian" lawyer cheated my father's estate out of money. His son was a drug dealer in our town and is now a lawyer in daddy's firm. I posted an honest review and he called and threatened that he and his 73 lawyers would sue me. I did not remove it. Where is God's judgement on them??? He's a christian my foot. I know Psalm 73 but it still doesn't cut it when issues go on and on and on and you see absolutely no justice and you see a good person suffer continually. I see why the disciples despaired of life. Even my spouse said last night life seems not worth living - it's one problem after another. Then watching someone so good being demolished while others prosper is too much to bear.
