Yet another extremely embarrasing thing to admit...i'm sure I'll rest comfortably tonight, knowing that my deepest darkest secrets are all safely on the internet. But whatever. To Christ be the glory! So listen up, and see what he has saved me from.

...

My late dreams had all been centered on my past spiritual life, but they took a break now to gravitate towards sex and video games.

I began to dream about having orgies, sex parties in some type of emerald-colored shower room. There were men there, and women, and everyone would have sex with everyone else. I was the host of these parties, and I would go around, making sure everyone was entertained and taken care of. Some of it was domination, and the women would dress up to suit the part. A great deal of it was experimenting, trying anything and everything, to see what would bring everyone the most pleasure. There was no hesitation for the men to have sex with the other men, and for the women to violate the men in this way either. Some of the men would dress themselves as women, IIRC, and some others liked to play the parts of the women. It would be someone's turn, and a dozen other people would swarm all over them like demons, to dig themselves into lust and ecstacy, and see how strong they could make someone's [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]. And I would join in, and have sex with anyone and everyone, and see how far I could push someone and see how far I myself could be pushed.

...

My spirit guide's eyes looked absolutely dead to me, and seeing this filled me with pure glee. I tried my best to mirror him, both in my dreams and in real life. I began to stare people down just to do so, just to feel myself exert that force over them. It occured to me again how tall he was, and how absolutely evil and wicked his presence seemed. The darkness that seemed to surround this man was so strong. It was immediately intoxicating, just to think about, to be in his presence.

I had a dream one night that he and I were fighting together.

There was a magnificent castle, miles wide and as far as a human eye could see. A ditch, a drop that continued down into the earth into blackness, was set like a moat all around the place, and it boggled the mind to imagine how that moat had been made.

There was a bridge made of heavy stone that spanned from the castle's entrance to the fields outside, and the area surrounding the castle was an absolute paradise, and grass covered the ground until it ran into the forests. The stones which made the bridge were several times bigger than a man, and the smallest ones were each at least 6 feet in size.

The castle's lord and his son were rallying themselves and all the people inside to fight us, because we were coming to kill them. We were against them, because we were against the things they did. All the kings and lords of the world were like gods, and this one was no different. But I did not accept this. There was one god, and He was evil, and creation was dying, and it deserved to do so because He had forsaken it for His elite.

Monsters that looked like men and others that looked like dogs came out to fight us.

We stood on the bridge, just at the point where it met the outside grass. Several people from inside the castle were fleeing, and I let them because I was not a wicked lord. The defending lord was furious, and I could feel this, and his spirit watched me and my own watched his, as his own guard deserted him and he knew he would have to fight me himself, this little child-god that I was.

The man who was my spirit guide stood to my right, with myself in the middle and my wife on my left. I did not have a son-I refused those things-but the three of us were more than enough for the lord's son, and I knew that we could slaughter him.

More abominations came out at us, things that should never have been, and I saw the man on my right wave his arms together, and a sense of something horribly wrong surrounded us all, and fire came out of nowhere, about 10 feet or so in front of him, and burned the things in front of us. The man, my "spirit guide" was very tall, and I noticed as I dreamed this that he had a beard here, a thin black beard that covered his face. He wore regular clothes, all black, and a small cloak, and he carried his own sword but seldom had to use it.

My wife was on my left, the beautiful woman, and she fought alongside us, killing and slicing and fighting alongside us. And I loved her, and I protected her, and together the three of us waited for the castle's lord to reveal himself so that we could destroy everything he had built.

...

There was a certain peacefulness to being so wrapped up in these things, I thought, and to have this secret world and see all these things. Nobody could ever know what I had seen or done. Certainly nobody would ever believe me if I told them. I was so far beyond them, so far outside them all, and I had been chosen because I was special, and I was going to learn all the things they didn't even have the intelligence to appreciate. I had become something beyond their understanding. I could feel all these things, just the force of them, the strength from them all, and that was the draw and power of what I was doing.

But what I didn't have the wisdom to understand was that the reason these things felt so good was that I couldn't feel anything on the inside anymore. I appreciated them because they filled me, they made me experience the things that I wanted, as if they allowed me to see or feel the glory of God or of His power in some way. I didn't want to have to go through that entrance, to live my life and be patient and die and work for what I wanted, because I thought I deserved them all now. And so I set out to take them on my own, because I was able. And lo and behold, I had found them. But they weren't real. They were fleeting, just vapors, like an empty mist. The reason I was so after these truths, this type of power, was that I had lost that within myself. I turned to the occult (what I was doing was far beyond 'the occult' though,) because it tended to grant you contact with things which held their own power. But that power is a lie, an illusion. It is empty, and finite, and anyone who espouses those things will always want more and more, because they never fill you or give you life. They only ease the pain, and you die just the same as if they never were. You lose who you are, all the life that you have, and all your own will, until you find yourself chasing after things that no longer give you an answer.

And that is the power of the occult and of the darkness. To blind you with secrets, and to rob you of your own life and will. It cannot be used, it cannot be dabbled in. If ever a human being has seen secrets and gazed upon things that man is not to know, I have. And I wish now that I never had. Those secrets are not true, because they are a reflection of a reality that cannot be understood outside of Christ Jesus, outside of the Word of God. You will always learn much quicker with Christ than outside of him, because the things outside are corrupted versions of the truth within him. He is the Word of God, and that Word is not just a human being named 'Jesus'. IT is a spiritual truth, and "he" is a gateway, to a reality beyond what can otherwise be known. To make things easy, God has made him like a man, like one of us. But he is so far beyond a mere man, that nothing you can imagine could ever express him.

But that darkness can't understand any of this.

...and I was flying, floating through a cloud, a mist of dust and light. But each single bit of that mist meant something, and I understood it and was in awe of it. I thought about what I was seeing..I tried to understand the mechanics, almost the mathematics behind it. And I realized then for the first time, that what I was seeing, as perfect as it was, was...incomplete in a way. It was perfectly formed, perfectly made, designed and cast without flaw. But it expressed something more than it itself was able to. It was a formula for a reality, for a truth, for...something, far beyond what it would ever be able to express. That stardust held a secret. It shined with it, announcing it, proclaiming it. But what it proclaimed could never be, because what it represented was above being.

The secrets and the true nature of things, the glory and the power of God, can only be expressed in Christ Jesus. He is a gateway to a realm beyond reality. Anything less is selling yourself short. I should have gone for the true power, for the glory beyond anything and everything that can be called glory, but I was unable to grasp it.

"The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it." - John 1:5

To ever come to power or might or glory or beauty, you have to first be able to understand it. Whether light or dark, love or hate, life or death, all have their beauty and all have their power, but not a single one can be understood outside of the Living Word. To come to truth you must learn to transcend reality, and that transcension comes about in Christ Jesus, the Son of the Living God.

I agree, getting into the occult is dangerous, before I became a Christian I used to be interestes in witchcraft and once I used a oujji board and it brought nothing but trouble....my life was quite painful and dark then.

We need Jesus for everything, for strength, wisdom, salvation, love....we cannot have true wisdom without God. Worldy wisdom may assist us in this world but it will be useless when we face judgement day.

It's human nature to look for answers in what can be seen... And yet I don't comprehend why you didn't at least know in your gut that Jesus was the only way...

It doesn't have to be that hard. In fact the harder you make it, the farther from Him you seem to get.

Then again, I've been blessed with close friends who are close to Him.

No, david, I do not understand this occult stuff, and while I am competent enough intellectually, I intend to stay aas far away from that crap as possible. A man can end up screwed over in spirit, with that.

Revolting.

Lol, guys, that is the entire point. :)

This was a long, long time ago for me. I am *nothing* like what I was then. (And thank the Lord for that!) No, I am so different, and happy and cheerful now. And for the most part sane. ^_^

Part of the reason I have gone into these bad parts is to illustrate what Jesus had to change in me. And he was completely able!

But the end of this story does have to do with the spirit guide and the occult and all those things in California, so I have to tell about them because otherwise it wouldn't all come together. Even when I left these things, they didn't want to leave me. And that is where the fight really started for me.

I hope everyone will follow this story as best they can.

Okay well I have to admit I wasnt following the whole story, lol, I have only read the last few entries. Im glad that Jesus has changed your life - only he can do it, without Jesus where would you be? where would I be?, Im so glad that Jesus is with me, without him I would be lost. Only God can change your life, no one else can.

I know. Didn't mean for this to turn into my life story, but while typing it out I realized I'd gotten too far in to back out.

Mostly this is all for me, i think. I want to leave what I did behind me, to bury it all with the person I once was. And this is the last nail in the coffin for me.

Thata a good idea, whenever I get stressed about things that bother me I write it down to release the stress and anger and then after that I riip it up and throw it away firstly because I don't want any nosy people reading it, lol, and secondly to symbolise the insignificance of the small problems.

You have a lot of vivid dreams......so do I, and I always remember them, the worst one I had was that this man who I couldn't see properly was chasing me so I started running but he was catching up with me even tough he was walking, and I knew it was a dream but I thought if I dont wake up he is going to kill me, so I actually forced myself to wake up.scary, lol.

Yeah, but this story is anything but insignificant.

I think MtDog said it best. Either I'm crazy, or what I'm saying is true. Either way, it's dangerous.

Hey MtDog, are you ready for more aliens in the story?

Give me a lightsaber and some popcorn and I'll be all set.

Can demons posess Christians??

Pretty basic question I think. I am curious as to what opinions and beliefs are held by others. It would be very helpful in a discussion I a having with someone. I have been taught that if you are a Christian, indwelt by the Holy Spirit, that while demons can attack you, they cannot posess. However I do know that some believe they can.

whiterider said:
Demons cannot "possess" the believer's spirit because that is the abode of Christ, but they can enter the body, and that is where they do their tweaking. I have seen and dealt with hundreds of demonic manifestations where the demonic spirits would manifest out of a person being counseled. Of those nearly 80% were from professing Christians. There is a strong scriptural warning for Christians concerning this matter.

MoriahConqueringWind said:
I'll second both these statements above as truth. Parasites and symbiotes require a host.

bobinator said:
Having demons, and being possessed are two separate things. Possession entails that a person has lost or has relinquished their will, or control over their physical bodies to these demons.

To my vast surprised, the Holy Spirit seemed to answer back...it felt like something golden, and engulfing, and unbelievably pure and strong. It felt just like a fire, and I decided very quickly it was not something I liked very much. It disgusted me.

Kol said:
"Watch this," I remember saying to my spirit guide. I descended, and entered the body of the first man talking.

"Watch this," he echoed what I had said, as I very subtly tried to influence him. You could give them thoughts if you were careful, and they would never notice it. I had given him an idea, which he didn't understand himself, but since he felt like doing it, he did.

"I'll be back," I had him say. He followed my guide, and took three pennies out of his pocket, then taped them inside of his cleaned-out cubicle where no one would find them. The second man looked at him in question. The two thought they might come back one day, that the lab would reopen, and they would all have their jobs back. The host wondered if this was why he felt like doing this. But it wasn't really a conversation between those two at all. This was something I was saying to my spirit guide. I was showing off.

Even if you are Saved and have the Holy Spirit, demons and other spirits can enter your physical body and influence you. I remember doing this. You will never know it has happened. I was never a demon; I was just a human being, and even I was good enough to keep myself hidden. It all depends on two things: how strong and "present" the Holy Ghost is within you, and how strong the descending spirit is, how much it can stand.

...

I saw this happening to myself though, and it shocked me.

"Do you see what is happening," the bhm asked me. He was frustrated, because I hadn't listened to anything he'd told me over the past year.

I was in uniform, my Honor Guard blues, and our van had stopped for us to grab a bite to eat. I didn't want much, so I bought a small bisquit and sat in the sliding door, listening to the other airmen but not saying anything to them.

And suddenly in this dream, I saw things outside of my own self. I was no longer David, but another entity altogether. I felt tall and strong, and royal in my own way. I was a "demon", but not a monster at all. I could remember my former life, where I had lived as a prince in my own time.

There was a boy I had been working on, pushing him and prodding him, working on him as if I'd been stoking a fire, making things right so that I could dwell in him and be there. I liked him, as if he were my friend almost, though in truth he was far below my notice. He had an interest in magick and spirituality, and that attracted me to him. It had grabbed my attention.

As this demon in my dream then, I descended, and entered *my* body.

I was shocked and afraid, as the bhm tried the last tricks he had up his sleeve to show me what I had really become.

The last attempt I remember the bhm making was a dream towards the beginning of 2000.

I was back at my first elementary school, and I was a character from one of my books, a vampire hunter who wanted to find and destroy the last of the monsters.

Kol said:
I just wanted to finish my mission and die. I was some kind of old grizzled war veteran, and I had been fighting the enemy for a countless number of years.

I decided to fight them, though I had no idea how I was going to do so...

That was what we did, traveled the heavens, fighting. We had all joined some group to do this, and that group had set us all together, with me as the leader. Everything had been taken over by "the enemy", and 95% of creation had no idea anything was amiss. This is why what we were doing was such a secret. The nearby city was a heavy part of that 95%.

I had come to this world as a celestial trying to fight the bad guys, and the bhm symbolized this in my dream by making me a monster hunter, because that's what I had wanted to be.

So I sat on the floor, this vampire hunter that I was, and I listened to the coach teach us what we needed to know about God.

Kol said:
...and I spent most of my free time with my music, my games, or reading my Bible.

Just like it was in life.

Beside me was Gerald Tarrant, the character from my book, and he was as dark and quiet, and as powerful as ever.

And then a light began to shine in through the window, because the sun was approaching, and it was getting closer to daytime. The light shined through the gym windows, and landed on my spirit guide. His skin began to turn red and blister. I turned to him, because I was surprised. And for just a moment, his image as this character wavered, like heat shimmering in the air, and I saw a pale white, ghoul-ish "alien" being. And I was shocked, and it showed.

He turned to me, with the same complete absence of expression.

"You know what I am," he said.
