Lets say you got finally something really you feel is meant for you to pay attention, and in seconds you got a phone call or someone coming to you for some reason. I start beleiving I am being tested or there is some kind of anti-christ going around here?

I let the phone ring, it kept ringing, I answered and they hanged up.

No...
Thats the cluster illusion...
The human tendency to see pattern where there is none... Theres no significance in such events at all.

God does not test man,do you look for signs like this generation does? They are all around, do not be foolish and go with every wind that blows here& there. You can look at the sky & know if it is sunny or cloudy but you can not discern the signs of the times? Pray God for wisdom,and Faith to lead you to the Truth. Anybody who is againest Christ is anti-Christ,In Greek the word translates 'instead of Christ"
Check out the following scriptures: 1John 218 & 22 1 John 4:3, 2 John :1:7
Do not let your faith be in vain,know what is in God's word and stand firmly on these Truths. The Spirit will guide you into all Truth's.I pray for Peace of mind for you.God Bless You!

Okay, let me make sure I've got this straight. Here is an example of what I think you mean. You've set the time to read your bible every morning when you get to work while you wait the few minutes before it's time to clock in & your favorite song happens to come on the radio & the choice is, do I read my bible or listen to my favorite song? In other words, do you mean you think you may be doing something God wants you to & then there is some sort of interruption & you wonder if God is testing you or if Satan is just bothering you? Honestly, I'd never thought about God testing me there. I've always believed it's Satan trying to distract me because I've read that that's one of the things he is constantly trying to do. Like having you put off reading your bible & things of that sort. I believe God is testing me when I get behind a really slow driver or when my computer starts screwing up in some way, because I need to work on my patience. Satan is always on my back & God is always testing me. Sometimes I fall for Satan & sometimes I break through my bad habits with God. I hope this is a good answer for your question!

Why do you think Jesus so often went into the wilderness or mount to pray?To be alone so He would have that personal time with the Father.We all are instructed to enter into our prayer closet alone.Shut the ringer off,get an answering machine,caller ID.,do whatever it takes to have that moment with God.Nothing on that phone, nor in this world will take care of you like God can. "And when He (Jesus)had sent the multitudes away, He went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, He was there alone."

God talks to you in His small still voice. Some choose to listen others don't. If it's something that keeps bothering you then you should pay attention. Remember that there are also the devils angels running loose (some think that's crazy) but when satan was sent from heaven the third of the angels that took his side were also sent with him. They also try our faith. Always look up and always tell satan to get behind you. Then your answers will come.

Remember evil comes in many forms.. it is always trying to take our focus away from God. Distractions are what they are so we let the phone ring, let the person continue to knock at the door. We have to decide what's most important at that time and remain focused on the Lord's message.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh yeah! God has been running me through an obstacle course for a lifetime. But I also seem to find solutions for whatever he throws my way. Even when I feel exhausted I seem to finally bounce back and take care of things. By the time this life is over I will have earned my way through the pearly gates of heaven. "Do you hear me God??????" Amen

Sometimes events in our lives are tests, but not always. Some things should be seen as "open doors" for new opportunities in our lives. They should also be seen as an opportunity to touch the lives of others.

There are lessons throughout life. Some are much harder than others. But through it all, God is there with me, helping me, showing me the right way. I often make stupid choices, but He is still there, patiently showing me YET AGAIN. So, yes, I think we go through tests and trials so we can grow and learn and become closer to God and His ideal for us.

God is all around us, look in the bible about how he tested Job, I think that he gives us all kinds of signs that most people choose to ignore or don't recognize.
