Bible Question: Where in the bible can I find text about how to recognise spiritual warfare and how to stand firm in God our Father and trust in our Lord and Saviour Christ when confranted with in these battles. |
Bible Answer: How to stand firm in the midst of spiritual warfare is described in Ephesians 6, the Armor of God, but I do not know of a specific place in the Bible describing in full detail about recognizing the warfare. I can say that I feel if you are being tormented by evil thoughts, extreme temptations, various trials that are trying to bring you down spiritually, it could very well be a direct attack by satan. However, I believe that Christians are at times tormented by satan and his demons, and influenced by them, but if you are truly saved you have the holy Spirit dwelling within you and I don't think you can be actually "possessed" at the same time. When we are saved, satan has lost our soul, but he will do what ever he can to make us miserable and even try and convince us we aren't really saved, and when he is doing these things to us we are focusing more on getting him out of our lives rather than growing and maturing spiritually. I hope this is of a little help to your question. |
