Dear Ms. Wilson: I thought it would be prudent to mention that even Paul was "buffeted" by a thorn in the flesh from Satan. Other verses state that when we are weak; then (in the Spirit) we are strong; and His grace is sufficient ( 2 Cor. 12:9). Since God chastises all He loves; our motives are tested that reflect who is truly "King of our hearts". The allurement of the world; flesh and devil WILL overwhelm us if we don't have a firm foundation as seen of those in the parable of the seed who have the cares of this world cause them not to bring fruit to maturity.
We are to have complete trust in God; along with renouncing any known sin that gives the enemy a legal foothold. The accuser of our souls is stated in Revelation 12:10 to be at work; and he doesn't rest day and night as a roaring lion (see James). When we are saved; we realize that Christ has indeed overcome and we are in reality in our new nature dead to sin; while simultaneously struggling with our old flesh nature. Demons will install thoughts in our minds that SEEM like euphoric emotions that our natural man can relate to and mimics our own thoiught patterns. When we test the spirits; however; we see what the reality is. We are to expect to be hated and despitefully treated; as a servant is no greater than his master ( Matthew 10:24). The enemy will use thoughts; and other people to go after us. Sinners (including us) are enemies to God and when Christ is seen people will either be drawn to Him or repulsed. We as believers are not to conceal sin; but remove ourselves from it; as well as confessing when we have hurt others for forgiveness so that we don't get a hardened heart. Satan also likes to convince us that we are still helpless; and tries to get us to break off fellowship; as well as oppressing many saints. I sense that he likes to convince us we will have to go through the Tribulation as well. Time is getting short; I pray that you will allow God to strengthen you.
In Ephesians 6:11. we see mentioned the Armour of God and also the wiles of the Devil.
Vs 11. "Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil."
In Ephesians 6:12. Is where I believe you will find your answer.
Vs 12. "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
It's what's behind the scene wickedness is what are at war with, whether the prince of this world, (Satan) his governing and influence on those in the flesh. On nations, People, other religions and Some Churches. False teachers is spiritual warfare against the truth. Ministers of Satan!! One way ou recognize them is they have no purpose but lure you away from the truth. The Armour of God protects us.
Here's an example.
Matthew 16:23. But he turned, and said unto Peter, GET THEE BEHIND ME, SATAN: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men. Jesus goes right to the source behind Peter.
Also here.
Acts 16:16-18. And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying:
The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation.
And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.

Also read of Jesus's 40 day fast in the desert. Every time he was attacked by Satan,
Jesus spoke IT IS WRITTEN, and then a scripture. VWe must enlarge our scripture memory. Look at how all the Disciples, Apostles, used Scripture against Evil.
Dear "Laurie Wilson", to give you an example, unclean thoughts, thoughts of destruction, thoughts of murder, thoughts of envy and so on. All thoughts that are not peaceful or loving are often thoughts that we must fight against. And carnal desires are unclean, and in many ways we may have tribulation. But God is good in the name of Jesus, here we are talking about people who have lived with God for a long time, those who have been enlightened in the word and act on it. You can find such warriors here on the web. Occupation warriors are improvers, beggars and intercessory warriors.
Just so you know: God does not take an infant / child / youth to be a warrior if that person is not capable of being a warrior. In the kingdom of God there are many tasks!
Jesus who filled us with His Love, and who you can get to know as you read God's Word. Bible King James Version is Alfa and Omega. Jesus thru Holy Spirit will lead you to Peace, for your own part with God. Therefore, we have been told that our struggle is not of this world, if you are enlightened and have received Jesus to live in you. Can you become an active warrior.
You use the spiritual Sword to understand what it means. Many times it can be yourself you pray for. Other times, the fight may be for other people. But know that the Lord Jesus always has a way out of the struggles. Pray in spirit and truth and He will deliver you from the prison garment! :) The best examples are in:
Ephesisans 6:11-18
Hebrew 4:12
And remember that if you do something work for the Lord Jesus, the burden is light. As it stands Matthew 11:28-30

I hope this helps.
