Prayer

08/12/2024

Ang sinumang nananahan sa piling ng Kataas-taasang Dios na Makapangyarihan ay kakalingain niya. Masasabi niya sa PANGINOON, “Kayo ang kumakalinga sa akin at nagtatanggol. Kayo ang aking Dios na pinagtitiwalaan.” Tiyak na ililigtas ka niya sa bitag ng masasama at sa mga nakamamatay na salot.

-Salmo-

8 SIGNS YOU ARE UNDER SPIRITUAL ATTACK:

1. Loss of spiritual desire.

The goal of any spiritual attack is to turn you away from what Jesus 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 Jesus Christ 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 Jesus and put your eyes on money.

If he can get you worrying rather than worshiping, 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 Jesus Christ 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.

If you are under attack, you can arm yourself against the enemy's schemes, equip yourself to fight and win!

1 Timothy 5:3-4
“Give proper recognition to those widows who are really in need. But if a widow has children or grandchildren, these should learn first of all to put their religion into practice by caring for their own family and so repaying their parents and grandparents, for this is pleasing to God.”

22. You can also earn Plenary Indulgence every Monday of the year by offering holy Mass and Communion in suffrage of the blessed souls of Purgatory. For the faithful who can't hear Mass on Monday it's worth hearing Sunday with that intention.

Prayer is the best weapon we have; it is the key to God's heart.

09/07/2024

The devil appeared to three monks and said to them: "If I gave you the power to change something in the past, what would you change?"

The first of them, with great apostolic fervor, replied: "I would like to prevent you from leading Adam and Eve to sin, so that humanity does not separate from God."

The second, a man full of mercy, said to him: "I will prevent you from straying from God and condemning you forever."

The third of them was the simplest and instead of answering the tempter, he knelt down, made the sign of the cross, and prayed: "Lord, deliver me from the temptation of what might have been and what was not."

The demon, screaming and trembling with pain, fled.

The other two were surprised and said to him: "Brother, why did you react like this?"

And he answered them: “First, we should never talk to the enemy.”

“Secondly, no one in the world has the power to change the past.”

“Third: Satan’s interest was not to prove our virtue, but to trap us in the past, so that we neglect the present, the only time God gives us His grace and we can cooperate with Him to fulfill His will.”

Of all the demons, the one that most holds men back and prevents them from being happy is “what could have been and was not.” The past is left to the mercy of God and the future to His providence. Only the present is in our hands. Live today loving God with all your heart. - Copied from Sis. Mary
