When coming under spiritual attack,
prayer is your most effective weapon.
(Lightstock)
There was a time when someone
suffering from a heart attack had little
chance of survival because he or she
didn't know what was happening and
ignored the symptoms until it was too
late.
Medical advancements began
identifying common warning signs
such as discomfort and pressure in
the center of the chest, pain on one or
both arms, and shortness of breath.
Spreading awareness of the warning
signs has greatly increased the
survival rate for heart attack victims.
In a similar manner, many Christians
seem to be blindsided by spiritual
attacks. When it comes to a spiritual
attack, it is crucial to recognize the
warning signs for survival:
1. Loss of spiritual desire. The goal
of any spiritual attack is to turn you
away from what God wants to do in
your life. That is why the first warning
sign of attack is a loss of spiritual
desire. We don't live by feelings
alone, but there is a difference
between doing something merely out
of obligation and doing something
because you delight in it. When you
delight in the Lord, nothing else
compares. Someone passionate for
God finds pleasure in the things of
God.
2. Physical fatigue. The second
warning sign is physical fatigue. I
know that doesn't sound very
spiritual, but keep in mind that we are
created beings—spirit, soul, and
body. If my body is weak, it allows
things to get into my mind (soul),
and that allows things to negatively
affect my spirit. Many times we face
our greatest attacks just before a
great promotion or just after a great
victory. Keep in mind when you're
going through it—an attack could
very well be an indication that you
are about to be promoted or just had
a great victory.
3. "Lack attack." The third sign that
you are under attack is a "lack
attack." There are times when it
seems that all of your resources dry
up at the same time. The enemy
attacks in this to get you to take your
eyes off of God and put your eyes on
money. If he can get you worrying
rather than worshipping, you will
start making decisions based on
opportunity rather than anointing.
Always remember there are two times
in your life when you are especially
vulnerable to temptation: when you
have nothing and when you have
everything . Stay close to God in both
the good times and the bad times.
4. Weak prayer life. The fourth sign
that you are under spiritual attack is
a weakening prayer life. "Could you
not watch with Me one hour?" Jesus
asked His disciples. Then He told
them, "Watch and pray, lest you enter
into temptation. The spirit indeed is
willing, but the flesh is weak" (Matt.
26:40-41).

5. Feeling overwhelmed and helpless.
Are you feeling overwhelmed by
circumstances? That could be a sign
that you are under attack. The word
circumstance comes from two words:
circum (encircle) and stance (stand).
In other words, you are standing
encircled by what's going on. It
doesn't take long for feelings of being
overwhelmed to lead to
hopelessness. The Bible says, "Hope
deferred makes the heart sick" (Prov.
13:12). It also tells us, "Faith is the
substance of things hoped for, the
evidence of things not seen" (Heb.
11:1). If the enemy can get you to
lose hope, he can get you to stop
living by faith.

6. Old habits and lifestyles resurface.
The sixth sign that you are under
spiritual attack is that old iniquities
begin to resurface in your life. What is
an iniquity? Some consider iniquities
to be those old habits that your soul
wants to fall back on when things
aren't going your way—things that
indulge the flesh. If this begins to
happen, do not ignore the warning
conviction of the Holy Spirit.
7. Pulling away from Godly
relationships. When old iniquities
start tempting you, the next sign of
spiritual attack is sure to follow:
pulling away from godly
relationships. Look around. Have you
pulled out of relationships with
people at church or with people in
your small group? Are more and more
of your friends carnally minded rather
than spiritually minded? If so, you are
stumbling around the battleground
and the enemy has a target on your
head.
8. Five "Do Nots" to Break the
Enemy's Attack. Once you've taken a
stand against the enemy's attack,
here are five "do nots" you must
remember.
Do not forget who made you. God
created you with storms in mind.
He has equipped you and you are
going to make it through in Him.
Do not forsake the time and place
of prayer. Two things that are vital
to a successful prayer life: a time
of prayer and a place of prayer.
Do not forsake the place of power.
Your church is a place of power.
Do not forsake the power of
partnership. It is good to be
around people who have lived
longer, done more than you have
and can give wise counsel.
Do not disconnect from pastoral
protection. I have often seen
people under attack whom I
wanted to pull close and help, but
they refused. Don't wait until the
enemy is tearing you to pieces to
seek the aid of those in a pastoral
role in your life.

yes, yes, yes and yes.
really nice that you find it educative.

I think I am under spiritual attack..

I ma bible scholar and used to be a bible teacher but its all gone in the winds!

I never attend church service anymore

You may wanna ask why?

I gave up on Religion for Science.
I believe Science (Astrology) could explain why things are the way they are, who we really are and how you can function cos I believe we were created for a purpose(s) and if you sway from that, abuse is inevitable.
The story or the Talent comes to mind.


Well, the devil may have taken my faith and gave science but where can I find help when there is question mark in every religion?

Can somebody help me?!

one thing I have noticed most people lack is a testimony of God they can hold on to. when you have such and you are conscious of it, it becomes easier to surrender to God, and also it becomes impossible for anything to corrupt your faith.
for you now it seems science has/is becoming your idol and the number one problem is always when something takes number one position in our life from God.
I have had similar experience before.
also your interest in science should not be resented, I will personally encourage it but that will lead to a lot of talk sha...
but remember;
1. build a personal relationship with God.
2. have a personal testimony.
3. don't let science or anything replace God's place in your life.
