Happens everytime!

Spiritual attacks, that is. Everytime I start getting closer to Him.
We recently just moved into our new home and I have been moving closer to God. Plus, I also got confirmation from Jesus that He spoke to me a few years ago when I was struggling with fear of not being saved. During prayer back then, I had written down what I heard in my mind, which was "Be not afraid. Only believe." Then, flash forward 3 years later, and I find that it's a bible verse, Mark 5:36. "Do not be afraid. Just believe." That floored me. Well, right after we moved into our new house, I wasn't feeling well physically. I started becoming anxious about being sick. That has since calmed down, especially since I got prayed for at my church. Now they've moved on to attacking my thoughts regarding salvation, telling me that when I accepted Jesus, I didn't mean it, or I'm not doing enough. It's constant. I've started taking my Bible to work and am depending on the Holy Spirit to bring me through. Has this happened to anyone else? It makes me fear death & that I'm not saved, however, Jesus spoke to me and has surrounded me with people who are inspiring me and keeping me hopeful. Plus, for some reason I am envisioning Him with me all the time, trying to build my relationship. That's why I originally started getting more into God, b/c I want to know Jesus, and I want Him to know me. See, and as I'm writing this, I am feeling like I'm doing this for attention. But I know I am sincere and love Jesus.
I am so tired! lol This will really wear you out.

yes sister that happens to me too
I have been under attack quite a few times in the past few weeks.This has made me doubt alot about myself.

I spoke to a friend of mine about it an experienced christian and she told me the plan God has for me has been put into action. The devil does not like this and it trying to prevent it. I belive this is so,
Prayer pulls me through ,i get scared when it happens but i just keep praying and praying and every time Jesus answers and removes the fear from my heart.
Pray Pray Pray sister it is the only thing that will prevent this from happening

I tell myself this when i get scared (hope it doesent sound weird lol)

Jesus is the most advanced alarm system in the world , he is stronger than an hundred armies ,notting can get past my super alarm system notting and every night when i go to bed i turn on my alarm system by prayer, and sleep safe because i know no one is stupid enough to trigger my alarm.

hope this helps feel free to pm me
God bless and turn on your alarm xxxxxxxxxxxx

Yes me too, have had this just recently. And you writing here at TJ is not trying to get attention, thats more lies from the enemy. There must be something going on right now as I was talking to a couple of brothers and sisters in Christ yesterday and was telling them some of spiritual attack I come under just recently. They also were under attack. They are alot older and maturer Christians and the Lord used these two kind people to minister to me and share their wisdom. If I hadn't shared with them I wouldn't have known some things and would have been stewing in my thoughts. We all just prayed together. It is just so reassuring to know that we are not alone. And we must confide in one another. The more we draw closer and in pursuit of the Lord satan is gnashing at our heals. And what we must do is carry on abiding in Christ, trusting Him and believing in Him and His Word. And lots of prayer as mounty said.

Submit to God, resist the devil and he must flee. James 4:7
