Attack From The Enemy / Cancel On Plans

About

Attack From The Enemy or Cancel On Plans refers to a viral video from a Girls Gone Bible podcast clip in which three Christian women discuss how when a person feels at the last second as if they are too tired or not in the mood to follow through with plans they once looked forward to, it is an "attack from the enemy," i.e., an indication of Satan's influence. According to the podcasters, the devil knows that if the person were to go through with their social plans, good things would happen for them and so the devil tries to tempt them away from going. The post circulated widely on social media in March 2024, with many non-Christians agreeing with its message and referencing it in memes or jokes.
