Satan attacks only when needed. If you are already doing real
badly with your relationship in God, he will leave you alone and
all he needs to do is to jsut whisper lies into your ears all the
time.
Spiritual attacks to take in a more serious context is Satan taking
the strong initiative to pull you away from God, just like what he
requested to scheme against Job in the bible. If you are under
spiritual attack, and i mean real spiritual attack, not things like
'shucks my favorite football team lost!"...it has to do with things
that will really disturb you physically, emotionally or mentally
like maybe computer breaking down when your assignment is due
tomorrow. A spiritual attack is a sign that Satan feels that you
are too close to God thats why he needs to do something...thats a
good sign!
So be strong, a spiritual attack is common but God says that the
One who is in us is bigger than those who surround us. Satan is
defeated, can do nothing but lie, why be scare of him?
God bless.
