I really need to speak with other Christians. I have had a hard time in the past months. I feel like the devil has been trying to block me for receiving God into my life. As a Christian how do you help yourself to fight this battle. I start to study my word post to others about his greatness then the next thing I'm attack. Family, friends people will say oh you all religious now or they will bring up an old sin. I really need some scripture that will help keep me to focus. I want to enter into the kingdom. I want God to grant me that gift. This week I loss my job in education of 20 years. I was a Social Case Worker in crisis and intervention. I helped homeless, all kinds of victims who have been children and adults. I'm not sure what will happen next but God has stated not to worry according to his word. I trying to live by faith. In the morning I have to meet with our personnel commission to get the official letter of my lay off. So many are angry but I ask for prayer that I do and she the right thing and to not be provoke to anger. I need prayer for my family everyone is fighting and feuding. I need prayer over my child she is so afraid of corona virus that is causing her to have anxiety attacks. Please pray for me that my thoughts to not get block by Satan but that it is focus on God and his Kingdom.
I worked homeless, crisis, dual diagnosis, substance abuse too. I read your post.
This Word of God Ephesians 6: 10-18 teaches us to stand strong in faith in Jesus name. To put on the armor of God. We are called to war in the spirit, we can't see the devil but He sees us because Christ is in us.
I've found that enemy will use anyone to try to destroy our faith in who God says we are in His Word.
Thank you Debbie your words really helped me. Thank you for taking the time to just listen. Often your so busy helping others you dont think about your own self- care. I just want God word to grow so strong in my heart. Thank you for your comforting words and the provided scriptures. It will help me to grow.
Kay, if you have trusted Christ as your Savior, then you already have the gift of Salvation ( Ephesians 2: 8 & 9 ). God will welcome you into Heaven. And Satan will do all he can to discourage you, like he has been doing so far. If you have favorite Bible verses, think about them when those times come. Do you need some?
Praying for you that God will guide you with His eye. Turn to His Holy Word. Read the Psalms at least 5 a day. Read Proverbs, there is one for every day of the month. Claim the victory in the Lord Jesus Christ. Nothing happens by accident. If God allows one door to close He will open a better one. Trust Jesus with your every need. Spend time in prayer. May God richly bless your family in Jesus' name. If your not in church regularly please find a King James Bible Church and attend. Jesus loves and cares for you so much.
Dear Heavenly Father: I humbly ask that you touch this persons life, heart and family right now. Pease meet every spiritual and physical need. Please send your peace in he midst of the storm. Help this person to trust you Lord completely and rest in your love, mercy and grace.
Dear one, my 1st instinct is to encourage you and also for you to encourage your daughter to know the same...God is on His throne. He is sovereign. NOTHING will happen to us, be it job loss, job gain, good health or sickness, anything, unless it is God's will. AND...if something is God's will, nothing will stop it from happening. I've grown to really understand that over the years and I tell you, knowing that has been such a huge weight lifted and such a tremendous source of comfort.
God wants us to have complete and unwavering faith & trust in Him. This is where we can find rest for our weary souls.
There is no rest to be found in the cares of this world, but take heart, for He has overcome the world. ( John 16:33 kjv)
We can also know that unlike what so many tv preachers keep trying to say, this life is filled with trials & tribulations. God's Word let's us know this life is filled with them, but it's from faith to faith that He makes us to stand.
In my own life, a constant reminder I also give myself is to know that things could always be worse. For example, the worst thing could be to be lost out there in this world without the knowledge of a loving & merciful God who has every awareness of all our troubles, for He has even numbered the hairs on our head ( Luke 12:7kjv)....and not even a sparrow falls to the ground without Him knowing ( Matthew 10:29 kjv).
What an incredible comfort that is! We face this world with God and His perfect plan...not for this life only, but for eternity!
As for the enemy of our souls...Jesus rebuked Satan, overcame the temptations while He was in the wilderness, by the Word of God.
(Matthew chapter 4 & Mark chapter 1 kjv)
Hebrews 4:12 kjv
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
I can really appreciate what you said and scriptures to support your words of support. Thank you. I will place all this into my heart and move forward on my faith
Before doing any further steps approach God's throne with confidence and with humility. We are praying for you and your family for God's divine intervention. Amen!
Kay I'm praying sis. You know satan only attacks what is not his. God has a plan for you. Read Psalms 91 and trust the word of God. Read the book of James for peace, strength and focus(it is only a few chapters). Fill your heart with His word. Isaiah 26:3 should fill you with peace. Jeremiah 29:11 should fill you with peace.
Dear Kay, just to tell you I'm praying for you, that you will know Gods presence and His peace at this time. Our sins, praise Him, have been paid for on the cross of Calvary. We are covered by His precious blood. He is our righteousness! So wonderful! God bless you and your daughter and family. With Christian love, Phyllis xo

you are being attacked because your trying to do the Lords work. You pressing on no matter what anyone says. It is through those trials that Jesus makes us stronger. Have faith in God not man. Read the word of God and through that word you will find your strength. Ask God to speak to you through his words and not your own. Every time you read ask God to use that word to reach others through you for we are his hands and feet here on earth. Think not of what ye shall speak in that time and hour for it us i who shall speak through you. Its God's word, look for it. It may not be worded ( what i write) like it is in the Bible but it has always spoken to me and i stand on that word because I know many a time I have been talking to someone and God words just come flowing out. Tell God to make you an instrument of his glory. Dont faint, but look to God whom is your strength. Not man!
Read Job. the more you fear the more you allow Satan to play. do not be anxious. satan has no power against our God, he will protect you, but if you give in to fear, you are giving satan permission to enter your life.
Let God's truth give you hope. Put on the armor of God, resist satan, and think of the positive things.
Ephesians 6:10 - 6:18

Philippians 4:8
Many things are spiritual warfare, but I don't believe all things are. For example, job problems or worry about a virus. In some states the virus is less severe than a normal flu season. Around 7,500 die in the US every day and 10,000 are born, so when the media ignores the top risks and only talks about the lower risks and stirs everyone into a panic it does everyone a disservice, so I would not trust them. Trust God.

Stay strong!! God loves you!!
Remember, Jesus tells us to not even worry about tomorrow cuz the evil in today is enough to deal with. Know you are His!!
Blessings on you and yours in Lord Jesus!
