29 For it has been granted to you that for the sake of Christ you should not only believe in him but also suffer for his sake, 30 engaged in the same conflict that you saw I had and now hear that I still have. (Phil 1:29-30) The Apostle Paul tells the Philippians here that grace has not given them the privilege of believing in the Lord Jesus Christ, but also to experience pain, punishment, and distress–for his sake. The privilege is to be engaged in the cosmic war, doing our divinely assigned part to advance the gospel. The more suffering we endure in our calling, as a direct result of obeying clear  instructions from theRead More →

My friend is really caught up in spiritual warfare, attributing every bad thing that happens to the devil. I’m concerned she’s fallen into ungodly superstition, while she accuses me of ungodly disbelief ! Who’s right? Needing an arbitrator, Ima Googler* Dear Ima, I tend to side with C S Lewis, there are two errors people fall into, thinking the devil doesn’t exist (or has no power and isn’t out to get us), and attributing to him more power than he actually has (being overly scared of and focused on) and tend to think C S Lewis was right that the enemy himself has no preference which error we slip into.Read More →

I’ve been attacked in my dreams for the last two nights. I wake up but can’t move, I see the room and there are dark shadowy figures moving around me.

Dear Andrea, I lost my sweet momma this last December. Since then I have had dreams of momma decomposing and her looking at me from her coffin and walking around with bluish skin because she is dead. Then twice a evil being I believe to be Satan is always after me in the end of the dreams. I sleep with my bible under my pillow, but still have nightmares. Please please help. I am so tormented over this. I can’t even function the next day. God bless you, Sarah Dear Sarah, The bible is a sword, not a dreamcatcher. Placing a sword under your pillowRead More →

Dear Andrea, I was physically attacked by a demon at an early age and after being born again no longer had any fear at night… lately I’ve been attacked in my dreams. In my last dream, I was tattooed on my neck and physically held down in my dream by a spirit. The numbers 6, 2, 10 with symbols as well as a demonic face with horns and other tattoos were on my chest. I woke up very fearful and prayed the next night. Why do you think this is happening again? I know in the dream my mother was there and I asked herRead More →
