Have anyone ever seen a demon?

[AllforJesustheLord]

The scripture in Revelation is definately showing satan at that time is made to come down, and so the time Jesus Spoke of for sure He saw that time which is to come. But sometimes He probably is made to come down when God wants a brake from the evil that is in Him, quite possibly this also happened when Christ rose again.

Are ya'll talking about loving demons?

[Jacqueline]

I don't think I could love them even if I wanted to. Like I said they scared the mess out of me and have been a force in my life as far back as I can remember. LOVE.... no not love, but pity. I'd pity anyone who knows the glory of God and choose to turn away from him. Theres a part of me that really wants to hate them, but I can't. I know what it feels like to hate, to really hate and I never ever want to feel that again. A lesson learned by the demons in my life.

God Bless

i think i may have seen demons before.

when i was a kid, any time i'd get afraid in the middle of the night, i'd run into my parent's bedroom, which was directly across the hallway from my own. on most occassions, i would have to pause in my own doorway before going through because there would be these four beings coming towards me from my parents' bedroom. these beings looked like my parents, my brother, and me in size and appearance, though i could see through them. although they appeared 3D, they looked more like shadows than like anything i could touch. their scariest feature was their red, dimly glowing eyes. yeah, it was spooky.

so anyway, i'd have to pause in my doorway and close my eyes shut really tightly. then, when i opened my eyes again, the things would be gone. once when i was about 8 or 9 years old, i suppose i finally got tired of having to wait for them to disappear. so, i shut my eyes really tight and ran straight at them, yelling the whole way. i ricocheted off the corner of my parent's open door, flew up onto their bed and scared them half to death. however, i apparantly defeated these things too, as they never reappeared.

a couple years ago i found a sight that talked about sightings of these "shadow people", as people called them. people had even drawn pictures of these things, which looked eerily like what i remember seeing. so, yeah. scary.

since then, i haven't physically seen any demons.

A few months ago I had just laid down to sleep and closed my eyes. I felt this heavy presense enter my room. As I laid there I could actually feel it as it moved toward the foot of my bed. It was weird, because I could actually feel its movement like when you hear footsteps. I kept saying over and over again Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. I looked up just as it stopped at the foot of my bed expecting to see something anything, but there was nothing there. As I stared at the foot of my bed I could feel it standing there watching me, but after a few moments it was gone. I have no idea what it wanted maybe it was testing me to see if I was still afraid of it. I will admit that at first I was afraid, maybe the right word is surprised not in the good way, but after calling out to Jesus I knew there was no reason to be afraid so I just laid back down smiled and said Jesus again. When I was little I use to tell my brothers and sisters about some of the things that I use to see at night and they thought I was crazy. My little sister had to not only change her mind about that, but was compelled to tell me about something that she'd seen not to long ago. She even apologized to me. Now that was weird within its some.

I have a question. Sounds weird, but is it possible for the fallen angels to recant and follow God instead of satan? I know that's a dumb question. But it seems stupid that they know they'll lose but keep fighting anyway. Does the Bible address this anyway?

Dunno Maybe,

But from what I have read in the bible is that once you have tasted of the glory of in which all Angles have and then turn on God that you can never be redeemed.

God bless,

Lucifer became "Satan" and the angels became "demons".

"Became" is the definitive word.

Originally God did not create them as demons, but when they chose to fall with Satan after God cast him out, THEN they became unholy demonic angels.

Sorry for not being clear!!!

Love through our Jesus!

If Lucifer's fall is described in Ezekial 28 and Isaiah 14, are there any references in the Bible to the fall of numerous angels who became demons? I believe there are some hints in Scripture that help us answer this question.

Many scholars believe the first five verses of Revelation 12 contain a mini-history of Satan. In keeping with this, it would seem that Revelation 12:4 refers to the fall of the angels who followed Satan: "His {Satan's} tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth." It has long been recognized that the word "stars" is sometimes used of angels in the Bible (Job 38:7). If "stars" refers to angels in Revelation 12:4, it would appear that after Lucifer rebelled against God, He was able to draw a third of the angelic realm after him in this rebellion. When he sinned, he apparently led a massive revolt against God.

If you're wondering whether God's angels can still "fall" today, the answer is no. Following this angelic revolt, God "elected" or permanently confirmed the holiness of the angels who chose to remain loyal to Him (1 Timothy 5:21). God has apparently given them a special grace of perseverance to enable them to permanently retain their position as holy angels.
