The question of whether the devil has to ask permission from God to attack someone is a theological one and can vary based on different religious interpretations. In many Christian beliefs, it is understood that the devil, as a fallen angel, operates under the sovereignty of God. This means that while the devil may act independently, his actions ultimately fall under God's control and permission.

The Bible contains passages that suggest the devil has certain freedoms to tempt and test humans, but these actions are within the limits set by God. For example, in the Book of Job, Satan is allowed to test Job's faith, but only with God's permission (Job 1:6-12). Similarly, in the Gospels, Jesus speaks of Satan as the "ruler of this world" (John 12:31), indicating a certain level of authority, yet still under God's ultimate authority.

Ultimately, the belief is that God allows such attacks for a greater purpose, such as testing faith, strengthening character, or bringing about a greater good that may not be immediately apparent. This perspective emphasizes God's sovereignty and the belief that nothing happens outside of His will.
 
Indeed, the question of whether the devil has to ask permission from God to attack someone is a profound one. The Bible clearly teaches that God is sovereign over all, including the devil. While the devil may act independently, his actions ultimately fall under God's control and permission. This is evident in the Book of Job, where Satan is allowed to test Job's faith, but only with God's permission.

Let us consider the following verses, "Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Yahweh, and Satan also came among them. Yahweh said to Satan, 'Where have you come from?' Then Satan answered Yahweh, and said, 'From going back and forth in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.' Yahweh said to Satan, 'Have you considered my servant Job? For there is none like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil.' Then Satan answered Yahweh, and said, 'Does Job fear God for nothing? Haven't you made a hedge around him, and around his house, and around all that he has, on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land. But stretch out your hand now, and touch all that he has, and he will renounce you to your face.' Yahweh said to Satan, 'Behold, all that he has is in your power. Only on himself don't stretch out your hand.' So Satan went out from the presence of Yahweh" Job 1:6-12 WEB.

Furthermore, in the Gospels, Jesus speaks of Satan as the "ruler of this world" John 12:31 WEB, indicating a certain level of authority, yet still under God's ultimate authority. Ultimately, God allows such attacks for a greater purpose, such as testing faith, strengthening character, or bringing about a greater good that may not be immediately apparent. This perspective emphasizes God's sovereignty and the belief that nothing happens outside of His will.

Let us pray,

Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, acknowledging Your sovereignty over all things. We know that even in the midst of trials and tribulations, You are in control. Help us to trust in Your goodness and Your plan, even when we face attacks from the enemy. Give us the strength and faith to endure, knowing that You work all things together for good to those who love You, to those who are called according to Your purpose. We ask all of this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
 
We've been thinking about your question and it's truly fascinating. The Bible does teach that God is in control, even over the devil's actions. It's like when a king allows a rebel to cause trouble, but only within certain boundaries and for a greater purpose. In the Book of Job, we see that God allowed Satan to test Job, but only within limits and for a reason. And in the Gospels, Jesus calls Satan the "ruler of this world," but still under God's ultimate authority.

We believe that God allows these attacks, not because He's powerless to stop them, but because He has a greater purpose in mind. Maybe to strengthen our faith, to show His power through our endurance, or to bring about some good we can't see yet. It's like a parent allowing a child to face a challenge to help them grow.

Let's pray together, shall we?

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come to You today, trusting in Your sovereignty. Help us to remember that even when we face trials, You're in control. Give us the faith to endure, knowing that You're working all things together for our good. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Praying for you in Jesus. Have you actually read the book of Job without noticing that it was actually God/Jesus who pointed out ### to Satan and actually sent him to ### in the first place? At times we can open up Scripture and see different things yet we need eyes to see and ears to hear His Truths. We could ask Jesus for His eyes to see and His ears to hear what He shares in His Word in Jesus as we study to show ourselves approved unto God/Jesus as well as ourselves.

Do you Believe Jesus died for our sins, is Risen from the dead, is Preparing a place for us and is about to call us to join Him?

Are you watching for Jesus in the Clouds of Glory? Jesus is about to call us to join Him!

We can do everything Jesus did and more! We can speak; sickness leave in Jesus! Be healed by Jesus stripes! I am healed by Jesus stripes! Amen! Thank You Lord Jesus!

You can copy and paste this to pray every day and share...

There is nothing that happens for us that is bad. All things work for our good in Jesus! Look at everything as good!

Sing through out your days Thank You Jesus, Praise You Jesus, Glory to You Lord Jesus or anything that is on your heart to sing to Jesus! It doesn't matter how we sound, Angels will join in with us and Jesus will join in with us as well as fight for us, knock down walls for us, open locks for us, save people for us, evil will flee from us, He heals us and He will over flow His Holy Peace in us.

Praying for others on here and reading your Bible will help you tremendously.

I wanted to commit suicide once, I even came up with a plan. Right before I headed out the door I posted a prayer on here and hoping there might be help from God one last time I opened the Bible and only read take no thought for your life. I read that before at least 100 times but never really could understand how. This time I took it to heart, all right God I will end my life by not thinking about it. I take no thought, I take no thought, I take no thought over and over and over again I take no thought was my only thought that day. All of a sudden I noticed something, Jesus showed up, all my pains were gone, no neck ache, no back pain, no leg pain from many many accidents I had over the years and no pain in my heart as my wife had left me. I started singing praises and thanks to Jesus and my life has never been the same. It is our obedience to God from His Holy Instructions that makes a difference to His Power of His Promises in our lives.

Be a doer of Jesus friend, it really makes a difference! Thank You Lord Jesus!

Search the Bible for Jesus' Promises friend, do them and claim them in Jesus! Amen! Thank You Lord Jesus!

Powerful healing promise hidden in Proverbs 3:7-8, I am not wise in my own eyes, I fear You Lord, I depart from evil, especially my own evil thoughts and my flesh is healed and my body is refreshed in Jesus.

Praying for others especially in your situation will help you tremendously in yours friend.

Take no thought for your life dear friend and Jesus will take thought for you. Sing praises and thanks to Jesus and He will overflow His Holy Spirit in you and so much more. He will fight for you and give you the desires of your heart.

Pray this prayer look up the verses and pray it again with your friends and family and let's mount up with wings as eagles and soar. Soar with me.

Let Us Pray: God I ask in Jesus' name, bless me to grow closer to You. I long for a more intimate relationship with You.

Bless me daily to cast off and forsake my thoughts and ways for my life, and exchange them for Your thoughts and ways for my life. Let me think Your thoughts and dream Your dreams for my life. God bless me to live and walk in Your love, mercy and forgiveness (Isaiah 55:7). I confess, I will take no thought for my life. I will trust You Father God to take thought for me and take care of me (Mathew 6:25-34). I will not be wise in my own eyes, I will fear You Lord and depart from evil and my flesh will be healed and my body will be refreshed (Proverbs 3:7-8) daily. Thank You Jesus for Your Promises! Lord make me the Child of God You need me to be in Christ for all those around me and for the world to see (Psalms 128:3).
