Once we become children of Christ, we will face spiritual warfare. Spiritual warfare is something that targets us from the moment of our conversion until Jesus returns or until we experience physical death. Depending on where we are in our journey, we will lose some battles and win others. Whether we win or lose, there will be more battles to follow.

I didn't react, I was too new to the faith to discern what was really happening. So I lost the battle. The spiritual attack has ended or is currently underway
