Hi Guys
I just joined after googling for a long time to find a discussion forum where Christians can share peacefully. So here goes.
My life changed when I was about 5 years old.
Back then, I lived the carefree life of a young child. But that changed - when demons started tormenting me at night in my bed. Every night, a powerful jolt would wake me up, which would be followed by complete paralysis from head to toe. Also, there was a smell of burning hair, and the most horrible fear would surround me. After some time, it would leave me damp with sweat, chest pains and exhaustion. Since I had no idea that there even was a God, or things like demons, there was no way for me to try and explain to my parents what was happening. It slowly drained the will to live from me. I just didn't want to live anymore. It was becoming too much for me. All that was about to change.
On the first day of primary school, the teacher told us about Jesus, how he sees and understands everything - and that He is able to help with anything. That day, it was obvious to me that all I needed to do was ask Him to help me. So, as usual, the fear and paralysis came, and I started praying to Him. I explained to Him that my teacher told me about Him, and that He understands all things, and that He is my only help. After I finished praying, waves of energy entered my body - starting at my feet. These waves caused the most intense joy I have ever felt. After a while, I blacked out and found myself standing somewhere where there was only darkness - except for a figure standing in front of me. There as an intense white light shining out of this figure. As I stared into this figure, the most awesome peace came over me. I could feel the light penetrating me, and warming me up from the inside. After a while, I moved away from this light, at tremendous speed. A few seconds later, I found myself back in my room hearing a loud whistling sound that faded away gradually. It is now 32 years later, and those attacks have never happened again.
The Lord took me on an awesome journey after that, and I'd love to share more of that.
Glory to God!
