Demons and Devils
by Scott

My first encounter with an evil spirit was when I was about 14 years old. Before I get to that encounter I must tell you of my spiritual experience that protected me from the evil spirit. I belong to a Pentecostal Church that believes in the power given to use humans in the name of Jesus Christ (Yeshua) the Messiah. I had went to church youth meeting which was held on Tuesday evenings. It was just another service was my thoughts. But this night was different. As the people were singing songs, I started feeling this sensation in my chest. It was like a giant magnetic pulling. The church was a small and humble place and the people a loving, caring congregation. An old bench was used for an alter in which to kneel and pray at. This magnetic pull became stronger and stronger until unconsciously I found myself kneeling at this alter. I didn't have any words to say and didn't know how to pray. I was afraid and said, "Oh, God, help me." Instantly, reality did not exist. I was in another place in another time. I could see myself on my knees with arms raised high, palms open kneeling in front of this light. The light was bright with darkness all around it. But the darkness couldn't over take the light. There were no words spoken, but conversation was taken place by thoughts. It was real strange, but I had no fear, no worries, just a feeling of total tranquility. Suddenly, I had come to my senses and found that I had fallen over into the floor and was lying on my back. Still feeling these strange but wonderful sensations. I went to set next to my grandma and begin to tell her what I felt. As I began to speak the Spirit of God came upon her and she began to weep. Simultaneously, my hands went up into the air, I found myself before this light again. As the light faded, I gradually returned to what is reality. With hand still raise I heard this familiar voice speaking in a different language. When all my senses had returned to me, I realized that it was I who was speaking in this foreign language. This was when I received the gift of the Holy Ghost as spoken of several times in the gospels and The book of ACTS. To this day I remember that experience and that happened over 20 years ago. This day I believe I received an ability to sense the power and principalities of the evil one.

I was lying in bed fast asleep and having an horrible nightmare of a relative of mine that was a witch. She was lying in a black coffin, pale skin with red fingernails. The coffin had a light shining on it that I could see clearly who it was. But there was darkness all around thick like a heavy fog. The feeling of despair and depression was more than a human could imagine. I cried out in my dream, "Jesus, Jesus, Jesus." Instantly my eyes opened. But I could not move my body. It was like I was paralyzed. All I could move was my eyes. I could see this transparent box that surrounded the bed I was sleeping in. I could see my two brothers in there beds across the room. I could not scream or yell for help. I looked at the foot of my bed and in the door way stood a figure of a being. The figure just stood there looking at me. He was about 8ft tall and like a shadow. I could see him but could also see through him. By this time I was in a panic. I couldn't call for help because I could not move. So in fear I again called on the LORD. I cried out in my mind, "JESUS! JESUS! Help me." In my state of panic a voice entered my mind. This voice told me what I needed to do. The voice said, "I gave you power over serpents and powers of darkness. The help you need is in you." So I got up enough courage to speak in my mind. "I REBUKE YOU, SATAN. IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST I COMMAND YOU TO GO." The demon seemed to get a surprised look on his face, though I couldn't see a face. He shrank into a wrinkled ball and the ball went out the open window like it was hit with a bat. As the evil spirit went out the window. The force field that surrounded my bed folded up and just disappeared. This was my first encounter of the evil kind.
