    Many say there is no devil, this is his favorite ploy that he does not exist.

  Sr. Anne Catherine Emmerick the greatest visionary in Church history

said in the early 1800's that he would be let loose in the late 20th cent. and with

his cadre of demons rise in power like never before since the time of Noah. It

is rare that you have an overt attack, as in you are conscious that he is tempting

you. While these attacks can be unnerving you can simply plead the Blood of

Christ and he is powerless against the blood of the Lamb. I have had several

of these over the years. The more subtle attacks are easier to succumb to until

you realize what is going on and the signs; which are easier to combat when you

stop and think about the situation, instead of continuing down the path he is trying

to lead you down. It will always involve sin, no surprise there, but he is very subtle.

Some of his tricks are to make you anxious and upset about someone or an

incident. Than while in this excited state it is much easier to manipulate your

thoughts and actions. He is speaking to you even though you don't hear him,

like you hear another person talking to you. Once many years ago when I went

to a party at a friends house I was allowed to hear the conversations of the

spirits on top of the people talking to one another. Sr. Emmerick said that

we have and evil spirit with us along with our Guardian Angel. The evil one is

loud and God's angel is soft spoken. You know what is right and wrong

the commandments, it is the devil that wants you to break them. He can work

through others to cause you to sin. Some will want to justify what they are

doing by having you join in or look the other way while they sin, an example

is from the final message of Garabandal, ...  Before the cup was filling up,

now it is full and overflowing. Many Cardinals, Bishops, and priests are on

the road to perdition, and they are taking many souls with them. ... We sin

by our thoughts and our actions, by what we do and what we fail to do.

Unfortunately many religious leaders do not talk about the devil and sin

which is a great disservice to their congregation, for they become

complacent instead of being vigilant and are easier to catch off guard.

Another clear sign is if what you are doing is done in the dark, if what

you are doing can not stand the light of day it is probably something you

should not be doing. I find this a lot in groups who like to operate in secret.

That is where it is easy for sin to move in and grow. From John;

    We are not unarmed against the adversary. Prayer, reading the

Bible, and attending Mass and receiving the most Holy Eucharist ,,

will strengthen you for your battles, and there will be battles. It is not

uncommon to be attacked while you are praying, reading or attending Mass.

By distractions or more overtly with background thoughts or chatter to

making you sleepy and interruptions to list some of the main tactics used.

Perseverance is the key and to stay focused on what you are doing, prayer,

reading, or worship. So if you find yourself becoming anxious about a

situation ask God for help, He will not abandon you, He may not do what you

think He should either, but your relationship with your Creator will grow. You

will fall, we all do, for He will send trials that you will not pass. That is why

His Son came, to pay the price for our sin and that if we call upon His name

and humble ourselves and ask for forgiveness we will be forgiven.
