Withstanding The Attacks Of The Enemy, And Proving Victorious

[JLB]

Yes, it's actually made me much more compassionate, as well as thankful that God is so patient with us! Those who fall God is able to raise up again, as he certainly has me...

God is good!

Yes, and excellent post. This is what happened to that sister I was describing in Post #10. She already had issues with anxiety when I first met her, and she got so much better once she settled into ministry with me and saw she was being used of God. But when the attacks came, all her old anxieties resurfaced and worse than ever.


Me has well. It has been quite a long time, but the burden I felt over my calling for many years was exceedingly strong, and it was hard to tell anyone cuz I hadn't entered into my ministry yet, so how could they understand when they could see no evidence? But they disappeared a good seven plus years back completely. Only during this last incident... I felt a tinge again. I was like, "Oh no... not this again. I thought I was done with suicidal thoughts." But it was only a tinge, and I'm happy to say I have completely broken that heavy spirit off of me now, and I mean completely. Turned from absolute night to day, which is all the more evidence to me it was an attack.

When I was seeking God within a dark place in my life after falling away from Him so many years ago God gave me these words in Deuteronomy 28:13 And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them. These words began a renewed Spiritual relationship with Christ that I found I never really had before. The enemy will always try to attack, but now I have learned to put on the full armour of God to stand against his devices.

Rom 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
Rom 8:32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
Rom 8:33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.
Rom 8:34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
Rom 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
Rom 8:36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
Rom 8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
Rom 8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
Rom 8:39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
