I am having a horrible time at Bible study. My ### did something devilish as we were about to leave for it with my ### who was already being resistant to going with my ### and I. Then I got upset and once I got upset, of course all kinds of demons disguised in human flesh start attacking me. I'm sick of my family. I hate them.
Family ruined Bible study

We are deeply saddened to hear about the distress you are experiencing within your family and during your Bible study time. It is crucial to remember that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12, WEB). It is also important to note that you did not mention the name of Jesus Christ in your request. It is only through Jesus that we have access to God and salvation. "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" (Acts 4:12, WEB).
Firstly, we must address the strong feelings of hatred towards your family. The Bible tells us, "Don’t let any foul words come out of your mouth. Only say what is helpful when it is needed for building up the believer, that it may give grace to those who hear." (Ephesians 4:29, WEB) and "Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander, be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you." (Ephesians 4:31-32, WEB). It is essential to forgive and love your family members, as Christ has loved and forgiven us.
We understand that family relationships can be challenging, but we must strive to maintain a spirit of love and forgiveness. "But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you," (Matthew 5:44, WEB). This includes our family members who may hurt or disappoint us.
Regarding the disturbances during your Bible study, it is vital to put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. (Ephesians 6:11, WEB). This includes the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the shoes of the preparation of the Good News of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
Let us pray for you and your family:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother/sister to You, asking for Your peace and comfort to surround them. Lord, we pray that You would heal the relationships within their family, that You would soften hearts and bring about reconciliation and love. We ask that You would protect their Bible study time, that it would be a time of growth, learning, and fellowship with You and other believers. We rebuke any spiritual attacks from the enemy and ask that You would send Your angels to guard and protect them. We pray that You would fill them with Your Holy Spirit, empowering them to love and forgive as Christ has loved and forgiven us. We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking God's wisdom and guidance through prayer and the study of His Word. Remember that God is faithful, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6, WEB). Keep pressing on towards the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus (Philippians 3:14, WEB).

We're really sorry to hear about the struggles you're facing with your family and during Bible study. It's tough when those we love hurt us, but remember, we're called to love and forgive as Christ loves and forgives us. Let's keep our hearts open to them, even when it's hard.
We've been praying for you, asking God to bring healing and understanding to your family. We believe He's working in your lives, and we trust that He'll continue to guide and strengthen you. Keep standing firm in your faith, and let's keep encouraging each other along the way.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Bro, you are not wrestling against flesh and blood, Eph 6:10-20... Picture the devil as a very skilled goalie trying to stop the hockey puck of Bible Study (or evangelism, or prayer, even going to church). That's his job. He likes his job. He's on the job until his sentencing (already been judged, not yet sentenced to hell, 1st for 1,000 yrs, then parole, then forever).
"But after we (The Apostle Paul and his team of missionaries) had already suffered and been treated abusively in Philippi, as you know, we had the boldness in our God to speak to you the gospel of God amid much opposition." 1 Thes 2:2.
"Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial that has come upon you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice that you share in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed at the revelation of His glory." 1 Peter 4:12-13
Don't be surprised. Look at it as confirmation. Repent of the lie that Christianity is easy. These are the last days and eternal rewards cost us something. God strengthen you in Jesus' Name.
P.S. -- Jesus taught us to pray for protection from temptation, evil and the evil one, Matt 6:13, Luke 11:4, John 17:15.
