It is when flesh awakes from death that the grace empowering works of God in men seem gone. Warning: this may happen to every one. When it happens, do not concentrate on your faults, but on Gods perfection. This awakening is a specialty of the wicked, the powers of wickedness they are called, for their ability to empower wickedness in men. Now This is a real adversary, one whose battles are fought like any other spiritual battle.
First, a person is disrobed of all grace(power), by fear, worry, hurt, hate, strife, all spiritual violence. All these target the gifts of God, the many spiritual garments which shield us from the powers of darkness. Shield yourself by keeping the stories of your life to yourself. What you expose(to the wicked), you give people as a sword against you, and the devil will use it to drive you crazy.
The systems of this world are the sword of its rulers, so any simple desire can be exploded into unreasonable anxiety. Avoid proud power, binding power that seem to clutch onto you, the flesh is attracted to these. Same with sensual power. They corrupt, mature into living flesh, real thorns that can drive anyone crazy. This should explain the sometimes tormenting seasons that follow those annointing services we love to partake.
