Does anyone feel as though when they try to get closer to the Lord, the more the enemy attacks your past mistakes and shames you to no end. I’m in that situation as we speak. A few weeks ago I really felt like it was time deep dive into apologetics again and possibly rejoin a church. Ever since then I’ve been attacked daily it seems with shame that can almost ruin my day. I continue to remind myself of the redemption I have through Jesus but I continue to do the scales method. I feel good when I’m doing something biblical and when I’m not shame is right there waiting
Resist the Devil and he will flee from you?
The Devil leaving from Jesus when he had "finished every temptation?" (See: Luke 4:13)
Every time we try to align our life, our mind, our ways to Jesus Christ, yes, the devil will attack us more... the reason the devil does not attack those who are not doing God's will is because he they are already doing what he wants them to do.
When we surrender our lives to God, meaning we give up our fleshly desires and our selfish desires and dwell on the things of the Lord, that's when we become a threat to Satan.
Whenever you commit yourself to the Lord, you are waging war against the devil. So, expect struggles, temptation, and persecution to increase.
Stay rooted in the scriptures(the bible/the word of God).
2 Timothy 3:12 In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted,
John 16:33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
Ephesians 6:12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
Is that the real tdawg??? I didn't know you're a Christian, I just discovered your channel recently
Haha yeah!
Get off of Reddit and all social media and you’ll feel closer to God than ever before.
You know you're doing something right when Satan attacks you.
It's when Satan leaves you alone is when you have to start questioning things.
