 You know I just wonder how many of you here really know  and I mean know what this means to be constantly buffeted by satan.  If Richard wurmbrandt was here yes he would know he was torture for Christ under the streets Russia for 17 years.  What is all this about with you guys.  I know I sound rude but please besides my rudeness does anyone here really had this experience  or is it just talking sounds.  If you haven't walk through something how do you know what it really is?  I knowyoustudythe scriptures to come to knowledge and some people talk like they have some knowledge.  To know is a good word to look up in the Greek and hebrew.  Head knowledge what does that profit a man with out walking through the firer of God.  Peggy

Peggy, I feel what you are saying. I have had what I call "demons" in my own life. The fire I walked through was painful and if I am honest it is still painful at times. My body has scars and disfigurements because of severe child abuse. The beatings came while my youngest sister was molested before my eyes. I tried to go to her aid and that is when the beating would start. The man who did this was supposed to love our mother but was instead trying to kill off every part of her life before him and that included us. There is music I can't listen to because a song can bring the violence back to my mind. I was changed throughout that and other things. I lived through a very real fire that he caused that left me scarred also. I am deaf in one ear from him. If I am not looking at someone to see their lips moving i can't always tell what they are saying.For me, alcohol and drugs became my escape from the pain of our lives. Time went on and the day came when I felt that pulling on my heart that led me to the Holy Spirit which led me to lay down my drugs and alcohol. That same gift of God has led me to help others who are in simialar situations as me and my sisters were. I am about as far from perfect as one can be but God loves and accepts me anyway. My heart is His and my life is His. He made me, knows what I survived, knows my desire to help others and knows when I mess up and loves me anyway. Demons, yes but the love of God is so much greater. Most sincerely from the heart,
Seminole

:'( Siminole-- my heart ached for you when I read your reply....I never experienced what you went through-- I understand that only by God's grace, little children endure such suffering-- and it is a mystery how He works these things for the good, although I trust Him and believe that He does....but going along with this thread, I did experience "being frozen" and talked to, as a child, by what I believe must have been a demonic spirit...almost nightly...my heart pounded and I felt shear dread, and was unable to stop it from happening for many years, I thank God that it made me search him out at an early age and I thank God that He has seen fit to remove it from my life and replace my fretful nights with good, peaceful sleep for many years now.... its really the only explanation that I have for such things...
peace and love to you!
Joyce :)
oh yes...and acturus:  again great point!
"If confronted for example how will you ever explain Luke 8:30 And Jesus asked him, saying  What is your name?  And he said, Legion: because MANY DEVILS WERE ENTERED INTO HIM. "

seminole:
Yes Joyce, such a hard thing to understand. maybe we will never understand why those things happen each day but praises to God that He uses those things to change our lives and make us better people.
