How to Discern Between a Spiritual Attack and a Spiritual Construction Zone
Here are some questions to help you tell the difference:
-
Is this leading me closer to God—or pushing me away from Him?
Construction draws you deeper. Attack pushes you into isolation. -
Is this exposing lies—or building truth?
The enemy wants to keep you in deception. God uses hardship to expose it and replace it with truth. -
Is this chaotic—or uncomfortable?
Spiritual attacks often bring chaos—racing thoughts, fear, anxiety. Construction brings discomfort—but with clarity and direction. -
Is there unrepented sin—or surrendered obedience?
Sometimes a season feels like punishment when it’s actually pruning. Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal if you’ve opened any spiritual doors—or if God’s just doing deep inner work.
