Stopping Spiritual Attacks—Part One
Spiritual attacks are the result of spiritual warfare. This is a challenge every Christian will face. These attacks will consist of the following:
- Unwanted thoughts.
- Disturbing emotions.
- Both.
There is no way to stop Satan from putting unwanted thoughts into your mind, but you can avoid entertaining these thoughts. And there is no way to completely eliminate disturbing emotions, but you can diminish the disturbance that you experience.
This is Part One of a series on effective ways of dealing with unwanted thoughts and disturbing emotions. The series will teach you how to resist demonic attacks.
It is strongly recommended that you read the entire series.
Part One involves three important points.
First: Use this general purpose affirmation: "I'm not receiving that." This is used to counter negative thoughts, usually of demonic origin. It is easy to use and effective.
Then think about something else.
Second: "Is anyone among you suffering? Then he must pray." {James 5:13 NASB}
Pray when you come under spiritual attacks:
- The prayer, itself, will help.
- It becomes clearer whatever else may be needed.
Third: Monitor your self-talk. Your words have power. Your self-talk needs to be rational and comforting. Self-talk is always a choice. Correct negative thoughts.
