So I will tell you why I believe in GOD, if you are willing to listen for a few minutes

[JacquelineDeane55]

Even though I was raised in a Christian household under parents who hold to conservative Christian beliefs and values, what really reinforced my belief in GOD is that recently, things have been happening in my life that cannot be explained by natural means.

For instance, I was sitting here alone in my room one day, when I experienced a presence of hatred directed only at me. When I looked around, nobody visible was there. That made me conclude that a supernatural presence was there in the room with me, feeling hatred towards me for some reason. If made me feel like my life was being threatened, and nothing feels worse than feeling like your security has been taken away from you.

Do you know what it feels like to be hated? It's an awful feeling, it really hurts my feelings.

I read the Bible and it tells me that GOD is love, so this hatred and judging condemnation could not possibly be from GOD. Maybe it was from one of Satan's demons.

Other things have been happening in my life that I cannot explain aways by natural means. Like feeling like my emotions were being controlled/manipulated by someone else, kind of like demon possession. Sometimes I have felt like I was possessed by an entity outside of myself, independent of myself.

Which has reinforced my belief that demons do exist and that yes, they are the enemy of GOD. They are filled with cruel hatred for us and they are out to hurt and destroy us.

If my testimony sounds weird to you, don't think any thing of it. I hear there are modern-day ghost hunters and people who research the paranormal. Even popular movies, such as the Ghostbusters, depict ghosts (even though movies are fictional, I assure you my testimony is real).

Some if not most modern Christianity disputes the existence of demons, but rest assured they are as active now if not more so than before.

Reading your post, I thought of the Lord's Prayer, how we pray "deliver us from evil".

When we truly pray that, sincerely asking the Father for that deliverance, with faith, then it will be given to us!

This is a wonderful benefit of truly believing fully in Christ. You can and should avail yourself then of the prayer He told us to pray, because it meets critical needs that we have.

Sometimes I have moments of extreme hate that comes out of nowhere. I could be driving and the smallest, most insignificant thing happens (not road rage, just anything) and I find myself getting very angry about it, for no reason! Evil is everywhere and is always trying to interfere with our lives. I often ask for forgiveness for even thinking this way and always ask for strength.

I quote these scriptures to myself regular:-
May the peace of God RULE in my heart (Colossians 3:15)
May i be grounded and settled in the gospel (Colossians 1:23)
