Danger in Evangelization

[Demotriton]

Evangelization has always been a problem for me. It seems the more powerful the message the Lord tries to proclaim through me, the greater the danger of demonic influences that attack me. It seems every time I try to step out in faith and proclaim the word I am entering into spiritual warefare. Oh yeah, when the message is watered down it is easy to proclaim, but is it really speaking to the person, am a really sacrifices myself, my own concepts and ideas in light of the One truth which is Christ Jesus.

It seems every time I try to practice virtue with the grace of God, if I make the slightest error I begin to start losing the grace to practice virtue and if I remain idle for too long, I also begin to lose it. Seems I need a major lifestyle change to maintain virtue. Practicing virtue with the grace of God is exgtremely difficult but not immpossible. I say this because practicing virtue in every present moment tends to ward off Satan and makes evangelization in the spirit much more possible.

I often times get confused between the practice of virtue and proclaiming the message. I guess I am in a way evanelizing by my actions in virtue although I am unware of it. I tend to get proud when I try to evangelize and a flood of evil spirits often enter me which the Lord continually casts out when I go to Mass or pray the Rosary. Evangelization in this day and age is not easy. We cannot do it without the grace of God under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

Peace,

Rob

I think you hit on the problem when you mention that you get proud when you try to evangelize. It’s good that you recognize it and the door to temptations that it opens for you. That is certainly God’s grace working in you. There is nothing wrong with giving good witness to Christ’s message just through your daily life.

If you begin to feel proud you should probably cut yourself, I know what tends to make me feel alot better about my place in the world and it might help you with your pride and smugness
