Armor of God: Spiritual Warfare

"it should be known that the practice of beginners is to meditate and make acts and discursive reflection with the imagination. But God begins to wean the soul, as they say, and place it in the state of contemplation. It is God who in this state, is the agent, the soul is the receiver. And the person who is seasoned in his or her prayer life advances from the active to the passive imagination." - St. John of the Cross

I really experience that whenever i start to pray evil thoughts does crop up in my mind but my faith and prayer diminishes them though being the biggest sinner in the World. Have Mercy Jesus and Forgive us . Help us be Closer to you especially my Family and all most in need . In Jesus's name we pray Amen 🙏 🎉
