indeed. the good thing is that for every one of those stories, there are many more of legit appearences by angels. if we let them, these demonic instances can keep us sober minded, which can be a good thing.
Well, first I can start off by saying I'm not anyone special, and I don't have any expectation of an angel ever appearing to me (I'd be scared half to death if one did, whether I perceived him as a Holy Angel or an imposter) and I don't think I'm on Satan's radar. But with that said, I do believe the spiritual world is a reality, and I think all of us can expect to be at least bothered by demonic spirits. And hopefully we have angelic spirits helping us as well.
I guess I was actually taught this lesson early on, while praying. Now that makes me sad, because I guess what that amounts to is that I may have failed to make connections and guarded myself when I should have.
In my defense, I don't think the necessary connection was ever given, and at the time I was listening to a church that has since not done what it should have done, and I was happily grabbing any spiritual thing that came my way, since honestly I found precious little of substance at that stage. They say hindsight is 20-20. But as I said, I did willfully ignore a warning (which was as suspect as everything else I was involved with at that time, but oh well).
