MY ENCOUNTER
WITH THE DEVIL (SATAN)
First I like to
begin with a Bible-verse from the book of Acts, for it has a to do with
this real story that happened to me some years ago:
"Many of them
also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned
them
before all [men]: and they counted the price of
them, and found [it] fifty thousand [pieces] of silver."
SOME say that the
Devil doesn't exists. But as you read my webpages, we know sure that
the Devil or called Satan is a very powerful spiritual entity. The
picture on the right is a manmade image and only a form, but as the
Bible says 'the Devil can come as a angel of light, and doesn't have to
have such a hidious appearance as in this picture. There are people who
have seen Satan, materializing in many forms. Like a dragon, a snake, a
man in a suite, as Marylin Monroe, and even as a beautiful angel. I
don't want to explain to much about it, but I like to tell you about
the night Satan himself came to me.
IT happened to be
that one of my great hobbies I had before I was converted to Christ
Jesus, was collecting rock/pop records. I had a fine collection and it
was worth lots of 'silver'. Then there came a day, I just destroyed
them like in the book of Acts, and put them broken on the streets so
everyone could see what happened. Some people even today tell shame
about it, and think that I was mad at that time, for they rather saw
the worth of it all. When I look back, I know now that I had records
that were supporting the works of the flesh, and giving honour directly
or indirectly to Satan.
THAT following
night, after I did this ACT, I was visited by the Devil when I layed to
sleep.
 SUDDENLY I awoke,
with a fierce pinching pain in my frail body.I heard a sinister voice
saying in a forced way: "Sing, Love is the drug" (a song of the
group Roxy Music) I said: "No I won't" Then the pain got worse, and
it felt like 2 powerful
hands clasped tightly around my body strangling the life out of me (in
the words spoken by Harry Hampel, who had such same experience; see his
tractise about excorcism). There was the malevolent presence of Satan
as my oppressor. Then the Voice commanded me again, but now with more
pressure. I said 'no' once again, and a force so powerful had me in its
grasp, that I could not physically extract myself from it (again words
of H. Hampel). The pain was so great, I could hardly breath (I first
thought it was a dream, but the grasp extended to such a level, that I
knew this was real pain). There was one thing I could do that suddenly
came into my mind, cause I was at my weakest position. I shouted: "I
won't do it, IN THE NAME OF JESUS!" The moment I called upon the name
of Jesus in my spirit (or loud, I don't know anymore), the feeling of
pain was immediately gone, and also my fear. The Devil had to flee.
SO if you are in
the same sort trouble as in this event, remember to call the Name of
Jesus, cause there is power in His name. This also shows that a child
of God need not fear any spiritual enemy. Don't forget, use the Name of
the Lord boldly to deal with Satan and his demons.
