From Ephesians 5:3-4 There must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed. Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk, or crude joking, which are out of character, but rather thanksgiving. .

I never worry about spiritual attacks; I just concentrate on having faith in Him. If I trust Him, no weapon formed against me shall prosper. We haven't been given a spirit of fear.

Well if you don't worry about them as in not being afraid that is good because you should stand strong against the enemy but are you aware of the spiritual war you battle every day or does it just not cross your mind?

2 Corinthians 10:4 plus Matthew 24:6 ~ The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.:)

it's in the mind and heart that spiritual attacks happen, the enemy always tries to provoke rage anger jealousy lust fear cruelty etc....if you truly want to be free of the enemies attacks question your thoughts and feelings and be prepared to loose it all for The Kingdom and Father will get you through, fear not is The Fathers message I will Sustain you xx Shalom xx

yes these things are in fact a spiritual matter it can go by your radar easily as just your own thoughts and think nothing of it but once you are aware of the spiritual war in your mind and heart then you notice these things and actively fight against them that is why the armor of God counters such emotions or thoughts the fruits of the spirit are in direct contrast to jealousy envy rage ect. love peace patience joy all these things are to be filled in the believer

We need to be more aware of these things I think like how many can say they are filled with love and peace and patience everyday?
How many are aware of the enemies whispers to provoke anger or lust or jealousy or even just depression

I had been in a discussion with someone who claimed they were under spiritual attacks I asked them why they thought that but everything they told me could be easily written off as life just happens kind of things. many claim to be under spiritual attacks when it is really just their own doing or how life just happens many also have actually had to deal with warfare and anyone who knows actually warfare will tell you it is not the same as life just kicking you in your rear.

So I was wondering from your own perspective or perhaps experience what are the signs to look out for to know if your undergoing actual spiritual attacks?

Is it not normal for an follower of Christ to be attacked in different ways, not only spiritual, by the devil?
Why we are wonder if this happend?
This we will face livelong till we are with the Lord.

I get what you’re saying, sometimes life really is just life, but from my experience it is not only the devil you have to consider, sometimes the problems come through people around you.

Right after a breakup, things started going wrong for me in a very specific way, bad sleep, money delays, plans collapsing, and prayer feeling heavy instead of peaceful. I cannot say exactly who caused it, I have my suspicions, but the timing was too clear to ignore.

That is why I reached out to Talal Zoabi, not out of panic but to get clarity. He helped me understand what was happening and how to clear it properly, and after that the pressure lifted and life slowly went back to normal.

That sound rough I am sorry you had to go through all of that it sometimes can be life happening but also a lot of times there is also a spiritual reason behind it after a tough break up your left vulnerable and the enemy swoops in to break you

Anything that loosens our faith grip on Him.

Elaborating,
Anything that causes us to surrender our lives to anything other than Him.
 
It's easy to write things off as normal because it never fails whenever I make time to pray the telephone rings or someone shows up unannounced.

These might seem just normal things but why don't they happen when I am not trying to pray?

I wonder if this sometimes myself. I’ve been having these sexual dreams with different women, fornicating and doing things I shouldn’t be doing, but again it’s in my dream.. Here’s the thing, even in my dream I know I shouldn’t be doing it, but for some reason in my dream, I still do it.. it’s like the spirit of Jezebel attacking me, or it’s just my mind and human nature to be lustful.

Touch this first. Never been one to jump on this "Jezebel" spirit. Old enough to when I first heard about it.. it was to control women... I'll stop there. Dreams... going to this bible study.. told her one day I kept having these sexual dreams and I was 15.. seeing woman in these books. Now.. pfft where would those sexual thoughts desires. ..as the word of God says "deceitful lusts" come from? So she told me to real Psa 4. I did and I keep getting the dreams but what was.. I thought was so cool was the whole dream was clear but those sexual pictures? Every one of them blurred out never had then since. Oh and I still 50y later read Psa 4 before bed.

This is almost like what if I am sick or something like that because of me? I did it? I am the cause? Hmm are there any sick among you? Hmm who was he.. really the sweet holy Spirit talking to? Yeah Church people. So any sick among you call on the elders of the Church? They will pray the prayer of faith? Another good reason to be in His for Him Church or home Churches.. or meeting together. Oh and if you have any .. any.. sin will be forgiven.

It never crosses my mind since I'm not engaged in any battles. My relationship is with the Lord, not the enemy.

I'll wait for him to answer, it sounds like he's saying The lord protects him from spiritual warfare so he doesn't notice it, but his word says that all believers will be subject to some kind of spiritual warfare and that we are given eyes to see it.
 
Jordon said:
does that mean you've never been subject to spiritual warfare, ?
Click to expand...

No, it doesn't mean I never have. It just means I've reached a place where I'm at peace and put my trust fully in Christ. What good is a faith that doesn't give us peace? Jesus promised He'd give us peace; I believe Him.
