The Gifts of the Holy Spirit and Protection

Hi everyone, I decided to create this post about the gifts of the Holy Spirit and protection. I can say that the Gifts of the Holy Spirit can support some Christians with dealing with spiritual attacks . The Gifts of the Holy Spirit, one of its roles is that it can provide protection. We are living through difficult times and it has helped me so therefore I am sharing it with you.

The soundtrack of the gifts of Holy Spirit launches in an attack some may be comedy to you. It has stuff like your a star in Heaven and missiles can go of. I didn't think it was humble enough your a star in the heaven, but now it cracks me up. I thought it was God in Heaven doing the missiles etc and I thanked him for being such a showman and it was the gifts itself I found out later. Still the same as always.

Spiritual attacks can happen to any Christian whether a minister or lay person in the church, it is not their fault. It does not discriminate and you have to pray for deliverance from God from it and which the Holy Spirit can intercede on. The Holy Spirit is there to support you to get to the Kingdom of God. So don't feel bad if you have a spiritual attack. It can be cast out. The Beatitudes mention that Christians can receive persecution and this can be a part of Christian duty. The fact that you were selected for the spiritual attack in fact shows that you are considered to be a Christian as well.

To deal with a spiritual attack I would start with reading the Our Father in Matthew 6 and like Jesus said say- Get thee Hence Satan. (Matthew 4:10) and he also said come out to the demon (Matthew 8:16). I would recommend Psalm 51 for cleansing and Psalm 80 for urgent redemption and Psalm 91 to fight spiritual warfare. I also recommend Psalm 140 to help with the spiritual attack and Psalm 27. There is also Psalm 24 for people dealing with Spiritual gifts. Perhaps can also contact a church minister. When you secure it, perhaps a thanksgiving prayer or testimony to God could be considered.

Obtaining some Holy water in church might help, you often can get these at Catholic Church's usually and you can take a small bottle and fill it and asking for a blessing to may be helpful. The Holy Eucharist and blood of Christ will help to and that can be received in many church's.

Spiritual gifts are found in 1 Corinthians 12 and they are there to edify the church and uplift others believers. The Holy Spirit has diverse roles and one role as I mentioned is for protection. You can develop in the spirit by being baptised and by receiving the Holy Spirit through the laying of hands.

The Holy Spirit has many roles, helper, protector, intercessor, advocate, strengthener, standby, comforter, counsellor, baptiser and a sanctifier.

Matthew 4:10 NKJV - Then Jesus said to him,… | Biblia

Then Jesus said to him, “Away with you, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him only you shall serve.’ ”

@Justmerach The Gifts of the Holy Spirit and Protection

To me, these are three separate subjects: The gifts of the Holy Spirit being one, and, as you have presented it in your post, Spiritual Warfare being another and the role of the Holy Spirit being a third.

Spiritual Gifts:
-Romans: prophesying, serving, teaching, encouraging, giving, leadership, and mercy.
-Corinthians: the word of wisdom, the word of knowledge, faith, healing, miraculous powers, prophecy, distinguishing between spirits, speaking in tongues and interpretation of tongues. Also: healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.

Protection against spiritual warfare/attack:
-Ephesians talks of the Sword of the Spirit, the Shield of Faith and tells us to put on the full armour of God - this is our ultimate protection.
-Philippians tells us that God will continue to guard our hearts and our minds in Christ Jesus
-Psalms reminds us Truly He is my Rock and my Salvation; He is my Fortress, I will never be shaken. Also, He is my hiding place; He will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance
-We should oppose the schemes of the enemy: Jesus knew the Word of the Living God is the most powerful weapon against the temptations of the enemy. If Jesus Himself used the Word to counter the enemy, then we can follow His example. It is written ...

Role of the Holy Spirit:
-John tells us that the Holy Spirit will convict the world regarding sin, and righteousness, and judgment.
-Jesus said He would send the Spirit to us to be our Counsellor, Helper, Comforter, and Guide.
-Romans and Corinthians tell us The Holy Spirit takes up permanent residence in the hearts of believers.
-Jesus said "when He, the Spirit of Truth, comes, He will guide you into all truth".
-Corinthians tells us that the Holy Spirit gives believers gifts (see further up)
-Galatians tells us of the Fruit of the (Holy) Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

Thegreatestoftheseislove
Thank you for your thoughts.

We are born with our spirit which also contains the Spirit of God. Being Baptised with more of the Holy Spirit at Baptism (which Jesus laid the way for) allows one to grow in the Spirit and become more fully ourselves emulating the attributes of God. This is the presence of God with us here and now and as I said it is a third attribute of God.

I have endured a spiritual attack in the past and the protective warfare part of the gifts can only be launched and tactics approved by the indwelling Holy Spirit used to fight it. Me myself I never even knew where they were in the body and never knew they existed until they were used with the Gift I was given in my teens and it was activated later in my life the the tactics deployed when I had quite an attack.

I read your post on tribulations and it was helpful for me to read it as well.
