Eileen,
Thank you for your input.What is strange about my inquiry is I did not slam the door,satan did,as sure as I'm sitting here typing to you.
Peace...Mark
Wow to have such an experience! To know that satan knows he can't have his way with you, he wouldn't even try. He was convinced you really do belong to the Father and not the world. Praise the Lord!!!!
Thanks for letting us in on your experience Mark.

Here are some excerpts from The Lake pf Fire - Part 9 :)
Can we not see that Satan serves a needful purpose in God’s plan? It was absolutely needful that Satan tempt Jesus. If it weren’t needful, God wouldn’t have done it!

Thank God that Jesus was not intimidated in the slightest by Satan:
"Then says Jesus unto him, Get thee hence SATAN… Then the DEVIL leaves Him…" (Matt. 4:10-11).
Does Satan obey Christ by leaving and never to return? Is this the end of Satan? No. Let’s see what else Luke’s account adds to this drama,
"and when the devil had ended all the temptation [Gk: testing], he departed from Him for a season [Gk: until an opportune time]" (Luke 4:13).
So Satan left our Lord only for the moment. However, Satan would be at the heels of Jesus wherever He went.

Satan leaves, but only "for a season." Some might wonder why Jesus wouldn’t just command him to leave and never, ever return again? Because, Satan is needed. Satan was created for the very purpose that he fulfills.
Jesus tells us in a parable that wherever His Word is heard, Satan is there to do his dirty work:
"And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown, but when they have heard, SATAN comes immediately, and takes away the word that was sown in the hearts" (Mark 4:15).
I have no doubt but that this is happening right now to some who are reading this Series on the Lake of Fire. Some will see in their heart that these things I am teaching from the Scriptures must be true, but quickly Satan plants doubts and visions of persecution in their minds, and so some will immediately reject these grand truths because of Satan’s influence over their carnal minds. Satan is a very powerful spirit being.
This is not a ‘one time only’ parable by Jesus. This parable is true every single time that God’s Word is preached. Satan is always there to "take away" God’s words of Truth from the heart of the hearer. This parable is just as true today as it was two thousand years ago when Christ first gave it. Wherever the Word of God is being heard, there will be Satan also.

Remember, Satan can do NOTHING without God's approval.

Thats why I joined this forum! you realise that others have the same experiences. While I was doing worldly research I was fine. As soon as I started studying the bible in conjunction with Rays teachings I went down in the dumps.
I was a worm, oxygen thief, waste of space, why was I still alive?
Also confirmation, I think, that I am doing something right.
Fine now, Holy Spirit gave me insight as to why I wanted to do a Thelma and Louise everytime I drove over a bridge.

Hey Mark,
Though I haven't had any 'direct' ??? contact with Satan, that I'm aware of... I've had a few strange experiences in my life. I actually, posted about them in my "debut"!
