This has happened only recently, within the past few years. I have a facination with spiritual warfare and spiritual beings, mostly demons. I want to know specifically what they can and cannot do. I want to know the extent of their influence on my life.
But I feel something else, too. Its an indescrible feeling. This feeling does not seem like something that would be God's will. So I am cautious. Im not about to read demonic books (because I am pretty sure they would be full of lies anyways) but I am intrigued. And I admit I have a feeling that I would want to see a demon.
I know that cannot be from God.
Every time I start thinking about them, Ill go read other people's encounters with them on CF. As I do this, I will slowly get this strange feeling, its like a cold and tingly feeling on my back and arms, and it slowly spreads through my body. Ive had these feelings in other circumstances too, so its not unique. Part of me says its only a feeling created by my mind, but a smaller voice says it is real.
Ive always been facinated with the posiblity that some or all of this could be somatiform, meaning a sensation created by the mind because I believed it would happen. Stuff like that has happened to me before, and me being me (I have an interest in psychology) I wanted to find out what was going on.
I have never been able to pinpoint anything else, only the chills and tingling sensation....
Until just now.
I was reading about stuff on CF, and getting that usual sensation. But I stopped and thought about what was happening to me. And suddenly I felt this intence hatred. A hatred directed at someone or something I couldnt see or feel. And I felt adrenaline pumping through my body. Despite all this, I still cant say I felt an actualy "presence". Anyways, this all subsided when I told it to get away in the name of my risen Lord, Christ Jesus.
But I feel like its still there in the backround. Again, the posibility of this all being created because my mind believed it would happen is facinating. But if this is real, it is very scary.
So, I have a lot of questions, but yea... Being a biology major, Im a man of science and I feel silly attrubiting a demon to what could easily be a sensation created by the mind. But on the other hand, a small nagging voice says its real danger, despite the fact that I cant sence it. This voice says that I could easily go into more dangerous situations. This is the voice that deep down inside, I trust no matter silly it feels. I know which voice I should listen to, but I would like some thoughts anyways.
