Quote HistoryQuoted: Not really. You can be awake and see Shadow people or Shadow Animals. Even while driving down the road. You don't say... Once I saw a ghost car. I glanced in my rear-view mirror and saw a Ford Bronco right on my tail. One second later, I glanced again and there was nothing. Just empty road visible for about a mile behind me, no turnouts and nothing for a car to disappear behind. Sleep deprivation will do some weird things. When I worked 12-hour nights for a few years, I never completely adjusted. Once as I was just on the edge of falling asleep in the morning after work, I heard an extremely crisp and ear-shattering BOOM! The closest thing I could equate it to that I've actually heard before, is a fat lightning strike a hundred or so feet away. It knocked me fully awake, holy crap! but I realized in the same moment that the house had not shaken, nor had the windows or anything rattled. Weird things our brains do sometimes. |

Satan already has the world, that gives him more time to work on picking off the saved.
The image sort of makes sense, Lucifer is one of the fallen angels who rebelled against God. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Welcome to sleep paralysis. Some of us have been on this ride for decades. It happened to me one night in a motel room in deep East Texas. It was like this lizard guy about my size was on top of me preventing me from using my extremities. I was pinned. I'm laying there and he has straddled me on top of my white bed sheet and I was afraid. At first I thought it was an intruder, but shortly after I was able to only slightly make out the actor. To the best of my ability to remember, the figure was dark and looked like Aquaman or some shit like that. And it wasn't like old boy was holding me down with brute force either. Apparently, he had stunned me somehow so that I couldn't move. So, in my vage consciousness I tried to relax because at that point I knew it wasn't purely physical strength that was holding me down. I could sense something else that I was totally unfamiliar with and at that time I was dumbfounded. As this deal unfolded the room was there and the dim lighting was correct. The AC whirred in the background as white noise the whole time. Fucking incredible. |

It started happening often enough that I guess I got tired of it and started fighting back. I was able to levitate and fly toward it and it took off like a scalded dog. I was left levitating in the hallway looking at the front door. |

I was left levitating in the hallway looking at the front door. I have had levitation dreams before floating effortlessly in my house and looking down the hallway into the living room. I had escaped a very large snake that was trying to devour me but it couldn't. It tried several times to trip me up with it's forked tongue but was never able to do it. When it was a sure deal that it was going to succeed in killing me I took to a spirit form and just disappeared from its sight. Thus, the floating around away from it in another part of the house. In a place devoid of human frailties and in total peace and not worried about harm. Finally, the snake gave up his hunt for me and was gone. I was sure happy about that once it had been dispatched. As it searched, it never came into my part of the house like it wasn't aware of the hallway and the two bedrooms that were in the back. Like the place had been split into at least two separate dimensions or something very strange like that. Silly dream I suppose. Lol |

Quote HistoryQuoted: OP, are you going to respond to any of us who have challenged you on a scriptural basis? I understand not responding to people making fun of you, but I have given 2 very solid reasons why this was not Lucifer, scriptural reasons, and you only respond to people who agree with you. Seems like you just want an echo chamber. Because the two posts you are referencing are not Biblically supportable. Just to grab one verse off the top of my head, Ephesians 6:12 dispels your arguments that (1) satan is too busy servicing his democrat accounts to bother me and (2) satan cannot act over a Christian in a supernatural way. Neither are true. And my thread was not a religious one. I was just talking about an experience I had and I politely asked that if anyone was triggered by it to please leave the thread so that they would not be bothered by a general discussion about my experience. However I dont mind open discussion or even civil discourse. Perhaps your point is that I saw a demon and not satan. Ok, well we could split hairs and I could say ok. I just felt like I saw what I saw. Your two posts seemed to just call into question my salvation by saying that God would not allow it if I were saved and that it was all just in my thoughts and dreams and that I didnt see what i thought I saw. Which is ok for you to say that. I just didnt feel the need to argue either point. |

Quoted: A little back story... I got saved in 1999 and everything about my life changed. Ended up in a new state and alone with The Lord, just working hard at entry level blue collar job and living in a 397 sqft apartment with a murphy bed and going to church every time the doors were opened. No damn way I could be happy with only 375 sqft of living space. Fuck that shit... My freakin dog room at the house is almost that size (and really ought to be bigger considering)  And I still need space for ME that better include a kitchen, a few bath rooms, an office, a bed room, a gun room / man cave room, etc...  If you had been out WORKING and trying to earn income instead of dicking around at whatever church - You would have money for a bigger and better place. If for whatever reason Satan was to come by your place you should have sacked up and shown some dominance.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I’ve never seen satan but I’ve been attacked by him. For those who proudly boast “He’s not real!” Here’s a challenge for you. Before you go to bed, pray for satan. Pray for his redemption. Pray that he might throw off his curse of pride and fall before God and beg for forgiveness. Pray for the enemies salvation, for if he turned back to God so would the world with him. And I assure you that he will attack you. He will make you enemy #1. He will convince your friends to hate you, to foment lies about you. He will turn your spouse against you, put an addiction on her if he must. He will make your children reject you and find fault in you and fill them with his pride. You will watch as your comfortable life disintegrates before your eyes. Just keep praying for him. Trust me, you’ll stop before he does. Interesting point you make |

I'm genuinely interested. PM me if you'd prefer. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I thought this was going to be a Kamala thread....but seriously, i'm glad to hear you are saved. Born twice, die once. Born one, die twice. Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior. What I mean is when you are lost you can turn into an absolute demon and not even understand why or what caused it. My devil was 20 plus years of really bad experiences that finally festered like an infected wound. I've gone back to church for the first time since the late 90s and 5 weeks in I feel so different. It's a process but it's allowed a clarity in my mind I haven't had in a lonnnnng time. |

Our brains use Serotonin to wake us from a sleeping state. But when we experience sleep paralysis or a night terror, we get a flood of it during the REM stage, which triggers our Serotonin receptor. This receptor is also the same one that's stimulated when we ingest LSD or Psilocybin, which are known for their hallucinatory effects. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Honestly, the closest thing I had was a personal revelation. An idea that is not fully backed up by my religion, but I don't think is actually opposed by it either. The revelation was nothing huge, but I attached a bit of an analogy to it afterwards. The revelation. I tended to go to Church on the First Friday of the month. I had been doing this little devotion for about a year. My alarm went off, I though I would rather sleep, and started to go back to bed. Then I thought - I chose sleep over Christ. Yes, not the largest revelation in history. But we make choices constantly. Christ should be alive in us. He should live through our choices. But why - we can not earn our way to heaven. Well, Catholics believe that the state of our soul at the time of death determines things. Then it made sense to me. Practice choosing Christ. In every part of life, we practice. If we want to get better at something, we practice. If you want to insure you make a free throw that could decide the outcome of the game - you should practice. Then the shot is easy, second nature, a given - not a random Hail Mary. If you want to make sure you choose Christ at the end of your life - practice. Make choosing Christ as normal as putting one step in front of another is for walking. I still don't do the best job of it. I still sometimes choose to miss the mark. But I try harder to hit the mark more often now. Don't see any harm can come by exercising your faith muscles. Thanks. Practice is definitely needed by me. |

I have had sleep paralysis my entire life. I've been accustomed to it ever since I was a child. Doesn't bother me at all anymore and it happens regularly.
But I've also had experiences that left a similiar impact on me. Was not like the usual sleep paralysis... Has stuck with me and this was a long time ago. I do think that evil exist, and I do believe the devil tries to toy with people when they are down on their luck. |

Not me. I don't believe in any supernatural anything. Luck isn't real. karma isn't real. All the gods aren't real. Ghosts aren't real. I do believe in some psychic phenomena though. I don't see that as supernatural. I see it as a human capability that we fail to master. I understand you comment. I've also seen people who proclaim atheism yet believe in ghosts and other such nonsense. |
