personal experience

[specops7]

To sheya: ive spoken to my parents, but they recognize that this stuff happens around me and they dont have much to say. My nick is sorta like saying im in gods army. Like a do special stuff, spiritual stuff. and the seven is the number of god. Not a big thing, just something i like to use.

and to disEnchanted: you should know me before you say that. I dont feel guilt about saying whats true, I have people that hate me for it and im glad, because my Bible tells me that i will be hated as Jesus was hated. Trust me, in my past i have done some horrible stuff and i know what guilt feels like. and if i have a mental problem, well it would be extremely odd. Since i hardly ever have experiences like that and when i do if anyone is around they feel it too. I guess in your opinion my mind has the power to project my guilt onto others? Im not one of those crazies who always tries to make spiritual things happen, and most of the time they dont and i behave normal. but when they do truely happen i recognize it.

this is not meant to last long, i just want opinions.

Last night about 2:00(i looked later), i was in bed facing the wall. Now whether this part was dream or not i cannot rightly say, but it felt real. I heard footsteps come in and behind me i heard heavy breathing of someone just standing there watching me. i thought it was an intruder possibly, so I turned to face him. I know at the turning point i was awake for sure, because he was then gone. I searched the room and found nothing, and prayed as i fell back to sleep.

I dont know if this was spiritual or my mind playing tricks, but i posted some controversial stuff last night before i went to sleep and it may have been a retalitory thing. Thoughts?

high i know what you are going threw as i experianced this in my younger days as the enemy wil try anything to hold you back from moving forward you need to cover your self you need to be in a good church wear you are being taught the truth and you need to be able to be your self wear you can open up to those that you can trust who wil be there for you

i came from a vioelnt back ground and all i new what i was so use to in my dreams i kept on grasping for air and wanted to sey in jesus name i rebuke you yet i could not i felt some one in the room and sitting on my bed this scared me as i never experianced anything like this yet as i began to get counsel for what i was going threw i began to see there wear areas in my life that needed to be dealt with and wear i needed to repent as if we leave any door open the enemy has a right to attack us and so do his demons many ignore what jesus preached on yet it says we are born again and we need to be walking in that new freedom no use saying you are born again if you fulley have not surrenderd and alowd the lord to have ful control jesus desciples walked in this new found freedom so did the apostles they walked according to gods word not one thing was left from the past you need to be around christians who are mature and who wil be able to talk openly with you with out beating around the bush be care ful with what you view and do not doubt gods word the enemy is real and he is doing what he can to hold you back stand on gods word and when you go to sleep pray for his blood to watch over you my friend

They started knocking on my windows and doors Thursday. Not sure why, unless it was because I was in chat on the 'net with someone who actually cares about me (a lovely rare breed) and doesn't mistreat me with harsh words -- so maybe they were showing off. It lasted for a good 20 minutes or so, too. The knocking, the rapping, whatever. On the window of my home office and then on the glass doors that lead out to the deck. After that I had to go outside to the Place -- there's a Place I stand outside and Things Happen there. Sometimes things from God. Sometimes things from elsewhere. But I was not hallucinating. They were really knocking LOUD.

Meaningless, totally, but interesting nonetheless. I wonder what prompted the sudden display?

No, you weren't hallucinating; the enemy will often attack when someone is coming closer to God. I've experienced it too (although not banging on doors and windows!) and every time I move closer to Him I'm besieged by negativity from out of nowhere. I have also awakened to find the rooms in my house reversed and my new coffee table broken in half. This was the worst! I knew what was happening, closed my eyes, covered my ears, and ordered them out. When I opened my eyes everything was okay again. You may say this was a dream but, if it was, it happened while I was awake. They can't linger if you order them out in Jesus' name.

I didn't believe people, years ago, when they would talk about such things. Once you experience an attack yourself, there is no doubt left.

[Great Expectations]

No unclean thing can stand in Gods' presence.

Doubt,fear and confusion are the tactics taken in attack,

but sometimes it is not so much an attack but an attempt

to gain entrance into a host body by a parasitical spirit.

It's easy to fall prey to such attempts out of a supposed charity

but the real wisdom is to deny such undesired hospitality and rather

to pray that spirit seek repentance and recover their own relationship

with God in mind body and spirit. There's no better thing we could do

for another than that.
