Spiritual Attack

Spiritual attack can come in all shapes and sizes. For instance, it doesn’t have to be just your faith or your foundation of belief that is being bombarded. Spiritual attacks can come against your finances, health, your family, and even your reputation. Don’t limit your way of thinking to this physical realm. When we recognize the attack is spiritual that’s when we can start warring against it for “the weapons of our warfare are not carnal” 2 Corinthians 10:4. The enemy would love to keep you in the dark saying to yourself “oh it’s just the way it is, life goes this way sometimes, whatcha going to do!”

Anytime something comes against the word of God and His promises, that is an attack of the enemy. It’s in direct opposition of what God said and what He wants to do. However, the enemy will of course use our physical resources and surroundings to lunge at us, so don’t be confused. Spiritual attack is not the devil hiding out in some sting operation waiting to pounce on you the moment you walk out of your house. No, instead it can look very common and unsuspecting. Remember Ephesians 6:12 “We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
