Remember that Jesus received the Holy Spirit before going into the wilderness for 40 days and nights. Without the power of the Holy Spirit and the gifts including being able to intercede in the spirit you will not be able to do battle with the devil.
We live in a remote area and do not have a church. When we did have one we still had to fight spiritual battles. If the devil is not coming against you then why not? Consider how much of the new testament is devoted to battles in the spirit, spiritual armor, etc. If you are having battles then you are learning. Just be certain that your battles are not because of unconfessed sin. Make sure your heart is right with God.
Think it not strange concerning the firey trial that is to try you Peter said. If any be afflicted let him pray James says. Make certain you have the infilling of the Holy Spirit before you attempt to do battle. Casting out devils, prayer for the sick and all the things required of us must needs be powered by the spirit of God. In our own flesh we are helpless. Be of good cheer God will bring uou through if you cleave to Him.
