Have you ever been under a spiritual attack? If you’re following Christ it is very likely you will.
My husband has recently found God.(His coming to the Lord is such an interesting story I’ll save it for another time.)
I can’t begin to explain how thankful I am to be married to this man that is I love with the Lord.
This post; however, isn’t as much about him as it is me.
The attack
I have been falling under spiritual attack multiple times a week. This isn’t anything new to me, but I have noticed the magnitude of attacks has increased since our family is now on the same page.
The attack that prompted this blog was extremely disturbing.
To fully understand what happened, you need to know that I always sleep with my television on. Reruns of The Office help drown out my thoughts as I sleep each night.
Today upon returning home from church our internet was out again. (Life in a small town am I right? 🤔)
I knew this meant I’d have to face a little fight to fall asleep. I had songs from church stuck in my head and honestly I wasn’t complaining.
I lay in bed singing in my head trying not to keep the husband up. Just as I was drifting off I felt it.
Up until tonight, I’ve never been physically attacked. There has always been a barrier that kept me separated from the spirit, demon, entity, or whatever you want to call it.
However, tonight it was straddling me with my face covered by my sheet. It was shaking me and the bed felt like it was rocking with a violent storm. I was trying to tell but it wouldn’t let me. When I finally broke free it was on the ceiling again covered by a sheet. When I yelled it fell and disappeared. I came to full consciousness and my puppy was barking in the living room yet again.
*Related unrelated note- my puppy, Samora, has never been a middle of the night Barker.
I realized, as I’m trying to grapple with the aftermath of this attack, that she only runs off in the other room barking on nights that I’m being attacked.
Warrior
While this attack has left me more troubled and sleepless than normal, it has been a great opportunity for me to better understand my role as a wife.
I am a WARRIOR for my family.
It is my job to help protect my family against Satan’s attacks. The closer we are to God the more Satan wants to rob us of that closeness. Being a perfectionist and not feeling successful every time urks me but more importantly it helps me focus on where I need to be. This means that, even though right now I might be roaring more like little cub Simba, I’m working on my roar.
