This answer was very helpful to me when I was faced with the same struggles.

The SIX Times The Devil Is Most Likely To Attack
=================================================

1. When you are physically tired.

2. Whenever you face a major decision regarding your assignment
in life.

3. Whenever you are birthing a child that is destined to become
a spiritual leader.

4. When a specific miracle is on its way to you.

5. When you make an effort to launch a new ministry for God.

6. When you are next in line for a promotion from God.

Answer 2

I am going to give you a serious answer, not just some bogus mess like some of the other non- believers have posted.
First and foremost, remember that the bible says that we are beautifully and wonderfully made. God knows what our intentions are, even if the our actions don't always measure up to what we believe the "perfect" christian should be. This doesn't give us excuses to just give in to any and every temptation, however, it does remind us that a slip up is no reason to believe that you are automatically condemned to hell. Ask God for forgiveness, mean it, and dont do it again.
You say that satan won't leave you alone. Well, many prophets and missionaries, both biblical times and present times, have faced persecution. Remember that satan is a spirit just like God is. By that, I mean that satan knows what God has in store for you. His blessings. It is satan's job to try to keep you from benefitting from what all God has in store for you. I know that it can be tough sometimes. But it is at the darkest hour, when things seem the worse, when God wants us, His children, to completely lean and depend on Him alone, to see us through.
So, my sister in the Lord, I encourage to continue to seek God in your everyday life. Continue to ask Him for help when you can't help yourself. The teenage years can be the most difficult times of our lives because EVERYTHING is so uncertain. I'm 27 so it hasn't been too long ago that I was a teenager.
Don't be afraid of the dreams. Sometimes God uses dreams to reveal things to us. Many there is an area of your life that is really dangerous to your mental or physical health and you just don't recognize it. Ask God for an explanation, then wait for Him to answer.
I hope this helps you.

Grace and peace.

Satan is the author of confusion and the author of lies. Don't let his ways discourage you.

God said He has plans for you, and that you shouldn't worry, He will take care of you.

Satan doesn't like when he sees strong Christians, because that is a threat to him. Non believers are doing satans bidding freely so he may not bother them as much. But when satan sees someone who is going to be mighty for God he gets worried and tries to throw all of hell at you.

Just stand strong, when there is nothing left to do just stand. This too shall pass, and joy does come in the morning!

Continue to be strong, and don't beat yourself up if you make mistakes, just learn from them and move on. The Bible says a saint falls 7 times and the reason he is a saint is because he continues to get back up!!

Answer 4

Your dreams are just dreams and nothing to worry about.In the Bible there were practicers of divination( a practice God disapproves of) who DECEIVED people by their dreams. So dont believe your dreams. But do study the Bible and try and find accurate knowledge as mentioned in John 17:3.Satan will always wage war against Christ's followers.Psalms 20:1 "May Jehovah answer you in the day of distress."

Answer 5

Your sister is having fear dreams and they are her dreams and she is telling you, maybe the devil is giving them to her to get to you, just ignore them

You are trying and God will help you every day don't give in to temptation and stay strong in the Lord, read your Bible as much as possible, pray all you possibly can, let Jesus be your very best friend and hang out with christians

Find verse that keep you strong and memorize them and say them daily

By my God

I can do all things through Christ Jesus

I can run through a troop and leap through a wall

He maketh my feet like hinds feet

my feet do not faulter or slip

I am strong in the Lord and the power of his might

Blessings

Answer 6

It is hard to realize that just when we are trying to grow stronger in our faith that is the exact time when we are getting more attacked by the evil one. This is normal, you are not going crazy.There is good and evil in life and this will always be this way. Sometimes we are very strong and sometimes we are weak as a kitten. We fall backwards and give in to something and then we suffer the guilt. This is reality. We are living in a physical and material world. Full of temptations
at every corner. God knows this and we are tested again and again with our love for him and our faith. It is not how many times we fall down, it is how many times we get back up and
ask him to forgive our weakness, and guess what? he does.
He knows we will fall and he knows that is the times we need him most and we will call upon him more at the worst times of our lives.When your faith becomes very very strong you will never be afaid of the attacks when they come. When you are truly believe he is there always ready to listen and hold your hand you will not be afraid of anything that comes your way to hurt you. It is a wonderful powerful feeling that you can overcome









what is happening and conquer your life problems.
When i feel scared about something, i say the Lord's Prayer
more than once. It makes me feel at peace. I talk to God all
the time. Ask him to come in and protect you from any evil thoughts. I have a small cross besside my bed and i hold on to it when i say my prayers. This helps me remember how much he loves us. ALL he asks of us is that we believe in him
because he knows if we truly believe he will guide us on the
right jouney. Living in the spirtual side of life is very very beautiful. DON'T FORGET TO KEEP YOUR FAITH!

Answer 7

Have faith my dear! All of this is a temptation in an odd and unsettling form.

Remember the key things.

Belief in Christ is what gets you into heaven to be with God.
The devil cannot determine if you go to hell, ever.
We all belong to God.

But I can understand your frustration. I too have seen more clearly how Satan pulls at those who hunger to be closer to God. It happens intensely inside the walls of churches too! But you know the truth. You can reaffirm yourself with the truth at any time, just by reading the Bible!

Someone once told me the more you spend time with God, who is Holier than Holy, the more you will be made into His image. I couldn't agree more. :)

Best of luck!

Answer 8

I'm not quite getting the gist of your question dear. What do you mena by "everyday I cry because my sister keeps on having nightmares that satan is chasing me and I give in"?

I'll tell you a couple things here:
1) If you have given your heart to Jesus, you are not going to hell. Keep reading His word and keep praying and keep developing your relationship with Him.
2) You have to tell Satan "in the name of Jesus Christ I command you to be gone" "by the blood of Jesus you have no authority here!"

You are right the teen years are the hardest. There is so much to learn and so much to do and so much to distract you. Try to keep focussed on Jesus. Help your sister to see that you love Jesus. Answer any questions she may have. Don't be afraid of Satan. Jesus is there to help you. satan has no authority where Jesus is present. :)

Keep on keeping on dear. Relax, study hard, get good marks in school, pray and continue to read your bible. Talk to Jesus as though He is your personal friend... because He is. Cry to Him, ask Him questions, be still in His presence, He loves you and will never leave you or forsake you!

blessings dear :)

Answer 9

The Bible never says we won't be tempted etc. and I always remember one minister saying that if you aren't being attacked by Satan you had better check how you are living you might just be going his way. Most of the early followers of Jesus died a violent death and even Paul was stoned, beaten, flogged and shipwrecked. It is those that put their faith in God and persevere that get the prize so why don't you and your sister do some Bible studied together and learn more about God's saving grace and salvation.

“I have held many things in my hands, and I have lost them all; but whatever I have placed in God's hands, that I still possess” - Martin Luther

Answer 10

You've got alot of amateur psychologists here, so thought you'd like one with the papers, who is also of faith. "Most" do not know that "children" are they Satan loves to intimidate the most, because of your "innocence." The harder you try to do god's will the worse it gets. Learn "first' the Lord's prayer Jesus gave in Matthew 6:9-13 and also teach it to your sister, and both of you say it each day. When satan attacks ALSO use the words Jesus taught to make him "flee" from you. That verse is found in Matthew 4:10. As a child who proclaims your faith to him with the words of Jesus, he won't bother you again especially if every time he trys to make your life miserable you tell him you are FAITHFUL to the Father in heaven.......
