If you are a true believer, Satan cannot destroy the work of regeneration in your heart but he can LIE to you, and if you believe that lie he can lead you astray. That's why is vital that you must know the scriptures very well. You most constantly and daily nourish yourself in the word of God, not like a camel which stores water in his hump thinking it will last a while.
It's just like food, if we dont eat a while we become weak, without energy. same with spiritual food, or milk (depends of what level of maturity are you in)
The true believer will become stronger after Satan attacks him, the devil thinks he's killing us, but in fact he's making us stronger in this spiritual battle.
Pray to God for greater manifestations of The Holy Spirit in your life and then be careful , walk on eggshells, not to grieve Him.

Yes, it could be. It is the way satan works. He goes for those around and near us to break us down. Be sure to put on the Armor of God!

You're friends salvation, spiritual enlightenment have nothing to do with your attacks personal. What it may be is the fear of you reaching that level of spirituality, I hate saying that word level...so let me rephrase the fear of you having a deeper relationship with God.
There's no levels, this is not freemasonry or AA. How we treat others, our devotion to God, our ability to resist temptation is how spiritual maturity is measured.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,. galations 5:22
When we master those fruits, that's our evidence of maturity. I can say John Doe is walking in the spirit and not being lead by the flesh.
Spiritual gifts are not granted to put us on levels. It's all jib jab to separate those who are enlightened. In the family of God we are one body, no one is above the other therefore levels do not exsit. It's a pagan phrase " Spiritual Level " ..I call it the Pride level scale.
If the Devil is attacking you , it has nothing to do with your friend. If the Devil wants his soul, he'll attack him...Him attacking you does not mean your weak, he just wants your soul.
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have [it] more abundantly. John 10:10
This is why he's attacking you, it's his nature...but thank God for the solid rock on which we stand, Jesus christ who came to set the captives free.

Satan and his mighty (fake) Lion roar!!!!!!
While I do have a scar on my nose from a spirit that made a weak attempt to stop me from praying over another brother who was sick and waiting on a ambulance...... I tell you that it was a very weak attempt to stop me from getting to my Brother.
Hell can not stop the body of Christ, Satan is already defeated. There is no Warfare, there is not fight!!!
There is not power on earth to stop the plan of God in your life, know matter how big and bad the devil. Ya, I have seen some physical manifestations of the devil but that is all they are limited to... Just all show in hopes to get you to move off the Word of truth.. God's Word is truth.
Doing the plan of God does not bring more attacks, does not put you in spiritual danger, does not put you in a place the Devil can steal the word of God from you.
Let me tell you, Satan has been trying to figure out a way to kill you since the day you were born. Why are you not dead yet?? Because he can't!!!!
The best way to beat the devil is to just ignore him....... There is nothing he can do.
If he can get us in a place where we have to pray and pray, talk about it... then guess what?? We are having faith in his ability to harm us. That is what he wants, for you to look at his Meow, trying to pretend to be a big bad lion looking for someone to devour.... and just put the kitty out, laugh and tell the devil he has to come up with something better than that........
Jesus Is Lord
