yes, the devil can and will attack those who have believed on Christ and repented of their sins!!! the Bible says, in James 4:7b "Resist the devil, and he will flee from you" use this verse and look up more in a concordance. when you feel the devil attacking fight him off with Bible verses and always ask God to help you!!

There is no way to be completely protected, but God will give you the strength to prevail, I believe. Think of the world as a medium, a neutral zone between pure good (God) and pure evil (Satan) and you are in the middle of a battle between those two forces. The devil can attack you, but not literally. You may feel the temptation to do wrong, but this is all, and the consequences will not seem to matter to the rest of society.

just believe that God always protects you. the devil will always try to attack you. that is a definite. But if you believe that God has your back, then you can walk with the confidence that whatever the devil has to throw at you, you can just step aside and let someone else be the target. think about it. you walk differently in the rain when you have an umbrella versus walking without one. walk like you have an umbrella in the rain

I do not really beleive in the devil.... there is not some evil force in the world that makes everything bad happen.... people create their own troubles and if they do not nature does... tragedies are always going to happen... devil or not... God or not.... it is just the way things are... all you can do is make the best desicions in your life and if something is going wrong you are the only one that can change your fate... God will not do it for you.

Satan will always try to attack people who love God. If he can't get to God himself who is the next best target? His kids! The best way to protect yourself is to arm your self with the Word of God. God's will is for us to be safe, but because we have free will, sometimes we do stupid stuff that puts us in danger. Just tell God that you're sorry and try to do the right thing. Nobody's perfect, but God is there for us.
Study the Bible and keep your head in the Word. There is no better protection.

if God is IN you (you're saved, with the Holy Spirit) then no, a demon nor devil can attack you. But influence is what/who you LET influence you. God doesn't manipulate, and the devil can only do that if demons possess someone. So it's really if you CHOOSE to sin or follow sinful ways, not who's pulling your muscles.

By obeying his laws. If you give the devil an inch he'll take a mile, but the Word is there so we know how to avoid this. As for a literal attack, no, he could not. He can tempt us, trap us, but he cannot literally attack us. Not like he would anyway, for then people would come to know that there is a Satan.

'The Devil's influence' is not real. Neither is Gods - as they don't exist.
This earth came to be; we as people came to be as a result of a major chemical reaction that happened billions of years ago. There was no 'creators' or supreme beings!
Bad things happen either by accident, or because people with no morales WANT them to happen. Good things happen by accident or if good people WANT them to happen.
9 times out of 10, it's people. People are the reason for bad things and good things.
If you want protected from the 'bad things' in life - kick around with good people!!

Read Galatians 5 and Ephesians 5

Yes Satan can still attack you even though God is with you. You can pray in Jesus name and clap your hands to remind Satan of Jesus dying on the cross for your sins and it should help the attacks go away but it won't make Satan stop attacking you for good.
