Why Spiritual Warfare Gets Stronger After Spiritual Growth (Demonic Backlash Explained – PART 2)
Why do you feel spiritually attacked after a retreat, healing experience, or real growth in prayer?
In Part 1 of Demonic Backlash, we broke down what demonic backlash is, why temptation can intensify after spiritual growth, and spiritual desolation, but here in PART 2, we explain how to fight back using discernment of spirits, mental prayer, renunciation, praise, and practical Catholic spiritual warfare. If you’ve ever wondered why spiritual progress is followed by temptation, anxiety, or discouragement, this will help.
