There’s a force I feel pressing in—an invisible hand trying to pull me deeper into the world of the flesh. It’s subtle, yet relentless. And its primary weapon? The internet.

I don’t know exactly where this push is coming from, but I know how it feels: uncomfortable, chaotic, and void of peace. It’s as if something is either revealing the darkness to me or trying to make me part of it. Either way, I feel the urgency to escape.

🌐 The Internet’s Pull and Spiritual Warfare Online

Outside the internet, I battle evil spirits in every relationship, every encounter. It’s like foreign invaders entering my space, provoking reactions I never asked for. I pray my responses are righteous. But am I righteous enough to make my election sure? That’s the question I carry through this unknown journey.

Online, the pressure intensifies. I feel something trying to cover my mouth—“Don’t speak unless you sound like us. Don’t speak differently or we’ll crush you.” That’s the message I hear in the spirit. It’s exhausting. Emotionally draining. Mentally taxing. And yes, I’m sure my physical health is affected too. Yet somehow, I’m still standing.

🔥 Is This a Great Trial? A Christian Perspective on Spiritual Testing

It feels like a trial by fire. A refining. A testing of the Holy Ghost people. I’ve known peace since being delivered from the churches I once attended. I used to feel drawn to them. Now I feel no pull. And still, I feel Christ’s presence. I speak in other tongues. The Holy Ghost brings me sayings—always beginning or ending with “Behold” or “Ye.”

This is sacred. This is real.

🧠 Guarding My Mind: Christian Digital Detox and Mental Health

I’ve heard it clearly: “Stop watching YouTube videos of crime, violence, and evil works.” So I’m trying. Because maybe it’s those videos that trouble my spirit. Maybe they’re keeping my focus on the evil of this world instead of the good. And yes—there is still good left in this world. I am one of those.

🕊️ Remaining Set Apart: How Christians Can Resist Worldly Influence

I strive to remain separated. Set apart. To please God in every way I’ve been taught is righteous. I watch. I listen. Then I retreat. I return to the things of God. Or do I? That’s the tension. That’s the battle.

But I know this: being set apart isn’t just about avoiding sin. It’s about being available to God. It’s about guarding my gates—what I see, hear, and speak. It’s about documenting the Holy Ghost’s sayings. It’s about resisting the pressure to conform.

“If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world… therefore the world hateth you.” — John 15:19

I am not meant to blend in. I am meant to shine.

✍️ Final Thoughts: Encouragement for Christians in Spiritual Trials

I am not being crushed. I am being pressed. Like olives for oil. Like grapes for wine. The anointing comes through pressure. The clarity comes through fire. And the Kingdom of Heaven is entered not through perfection, but through surrender, obedience, and faith.

I walk the narrow path. I listen. I separate myself unto God. And when the darkness speaks louder, I whisper back: “Behold, I am His.”
