Important
Recognizing which spirit is involved in a given situation requires moving in the “Gift of the Discerning of spirits” which is essentially being sensitive to the Holy Spirit.
How to recognize spiritual attacks
signs of enemy involvement
- Low self-image (unworthy, a failure, no good – a constant undermining of the self-identity.)
- Confusion in thinking (sometimes great difficulty in remembering things)
- Inability to believe (even when the person wants to)
- Incorrect evaluations- perceiving anger, hostility, in others when it doesn’t really exist – seeing only judgment in the scriptures
- Nightmares causing fear (often having demonic images)
- Controlling thoughts (suicidal, homicidal, self-abuse)
- Fear – panic attacks – phobias
- Anger – easily set off emotionally rage
- Constant guilt – self-condemnation,
- Depression and despondency (frequently continual despair)
- Drug, alcohol addictions
- Eating obsessions – bulimia addictions, anorexia nervosa
- Compulsive sexual thoughts ( pornography, adultery, fornication, perversions)
- Physical attacks — from headaches to cancer/outward manifestations
Door ways for enemy’s involvement
- Occult involvement (Ouija boards, fortunetelling, horoscopes, palm reading, etc.)
- Unforgiving spirit- holding on to past grievances.
- Disobedience to the Lord
- Dependence on outside sources (drugs, alcohol, etc.)
- Incorrect relationships ( family disorders, wrong contacts, etc.)
- Lack of knowledge (ignorance, not knowing how enemy works/objective)

Our Ministry
“The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me
to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners
and recovery of sight for the blind,
to release the oppressed,
to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.“ (Luke 4:18-19)
