Kim,

You are not the only one who has such attacks.  Of course, the professional
medical field by way of explanation, says these are panic, or anxiety,
attacks.  You, fortunately, recognize it for what it really is.  Demons pull
such things on every Christian but most Christians are too frightened to
recognize it for what it really is and this is because they think if they
admit to hearing voices, this means they are mentally ill, that is, crazy.
Christians have bought into the psychological model of Christianity so much
over the last 40 years, they are afraid to even make mention of such an
event because they don't want others to think they are a lousy Christian.
So much for accountability and submitting ourselves one to another in the
fear of the Lord.  You did exactly what the Bible says, that is, you took
those thoughts captive by listening to Christian programming, music, and
trying to call someone in whom you trust.  Lying spirits do this sort of
thing to us as Christians and they want us to believe the lie that it is our
flesh doing this to ourselves.  In this way, it becomes our fault and the
blame is upon us and not the Enemy where it belongs.  For example, I was
sick all last night.  Just about everybody in my family, including our
grandchildren, have all been sick in recent days and weeks.  I was very sick
with a virus for over two weeks which is the first time I have been sick at
all for two and a half years.  Yesterday evening, I began feeling a terrible
headache coming on.  The later it got, the worse it became.  That, in and of
itself, is unusual for me because if I get a headache, it usually diminishes
by the time I go to bed.  Instead, this one intensified.  I slept very
little and never for very long all night.  Was I being demonically attacked?
I am not particularly spiritually sensitive in the area of demonic awareness
as many others are as a Christian and especially those who are called to a
specific position in the Body of Christ.  I did mentally, that is, through
prayer, hunt around in my thoughts and emotions all night to see if there
was any demonic presence but not all physical things are demonic in nature.
I found nothing yet I knew they would attempt to use the physical weakness
and pain to attack me with their thoughts and feelings and all that I was
aware of.  This afternoon, I heard a voice, in my thoughts, which sounded
very accusatory which was a way of trying to frighten me.  The problem was,
I had no fear but I still took time out to pray briefly and to take every
thought captive due to the nature of being sick and open to the demonics
trying to take advantage of my situation.  They are attempting to gain a
stronger foothold and looking for a reaction.  Of course, you fooled them
and went right into a protective mode by listening to the radio and so on.
That's good.  So, just hang in there and let others know when we need to
pray when you have such an experience and realize you are not alone.

By the way, doubting your salvation?  Think of it this way.  They would not
be trying to get you to doubt if you were not truly born again.  Because
they know you are born again, they try and keep you off balance in your
relationship with God.  So, in other words, every time you doubt your
salvation is a cause to rejoice you are born again because if you weren't,
you would know it and they would not it and wouldn't try to bother you with
that idea.

Phil.
