Yes please, type it out, I want to read it.
If you have read my last post though you will see that I don't really believe that "Lucifer" was ever his name. The word was added to the text much much latter after Isaiah was written. But wow, yeah, I'm very interested in hearing your story.
Okay then
Ill try to include important details, and I can include even more if necessary, because I dont mind it being scrutinized. Ill include the hard facts, but also some of the debatable I could be wrong on the meaning stuff as well, to give the full context:
The bare bones experience is that I was staying at a family members house while they were out of town, and I was lying down (not asleep) when suddenly a bright flash of light appeared above me, and lasted for about 2-3 seconds. It was flashing, somewhat like lightening. My body started to almost convulse for the span of the 2-3 seconds in response to it, as though it was trying to suck me up into it (is the way I would describe it), and the way I felt
. it felt as though my entire body was trying to be turned inside out. Not like wanting to puke lol
but like on a molecular level. Its what I would imagine being sucked into a black hole would feel like
where you physically break down and get popped into nothingness.
I dont know why I felt utter terror
but I did. It was the single most terrifying thing Ive experienced, and I still dont know why I had such a primal terror reaction. Maybe it was due to the type of presence it was, or maybe it was due to my body having such a lack of control in that manner
it was very much a primal type of response. Now, Ive been in terrifying situations
Im well traveled, was in the military, third world countries, wild animals, life or death situations, weapons in my face, Ive dealt with death a lot, etc
this was not the same type of fear, and it was the first time in many, many years, that I wanted absolutely NOTHING to do with the spiritual world. Like, nothing to do with it. It was as though I was put in my place by a fist that was stronger than my own. But once I got my bearings, I realized I was still alive, I hadnt seemingly been harmed, and I needed to get control of that aspect of fear, and have faith again, etc.
Now thats the bare bones of what I would call the arrival of whatever-that-was. Here is the rest of the context for before it, and after it, which includes an angel, and why I believe the encounter involved Lucifer, etc.
Approximately ten years before that, I was at a place in my life where I very much was gobbling up anything and everything I could Biblically, in churches, spiritually, etc. I was relatively new to having experienced the filling of the Holy Spirit, and it radically changed me (of course). I was going to multiple churches, close to 6 days a week, every radio station was tuned to some Christian station
I was soaking up everything I possibly could. At that time, I was friends with someone whom we frequently sat and prayed together, and we prayed to be lead by the Spirit, and we would go out and do things in and around town, sometimes taking day trips even, etc.
This is important, but Im going to make a long story short so that I dont lose whoever is reading this lol
one night, me and this friend were praying about what to do, and for some reason, we both believed we were to have a barbecue. There was no This is what the Lord says,, etc
what we were doing, was trying to understand the way the Spirit might lead us. Arguably, this is the very thing that a lot of people (me included) can look at others and say, Thats bogus. You cant prove you arent just following your own whims, etc. Well, this is where I was at, and what I was trying to learn. So we decided to have a barbecue, but didnt know where to have it
it was at night. So we went and bought a few supplies, but we didnt buy forks, charcoal, matches, etc. We basically just bought food and some plates, and believed that God would provide the rest. We decided to head to a lake that was about 20 min away, and look for a place to pull off that had pits and such.
Well, we pull off at this lake
into a random park, and begin to look around for a barbecue pit. This is like, 9 or 10pm at night. Completely dark, had been dark for awhile now. No one around in sight. Well, there was a barbecue pit, that still had a fire burning
and there by the pit, were a set of 3 utensils still in new and unopened packaging. We attributed the presence of the fire, and the utensils, etc
as God providing. Well, while we were preparing to cook our food on this fire that was already there lol
a guy drove up in a truck, and started to set up to do some night fishing. He had a generator which he turned on, was running cables from it to a small dock so he could have lights
took him like 30 minutes to set up, and he was very noisy. He was tallish, black male, in a camo jacket and a ball cap.
Well, we got our food cooked, and for some reason, had too much. We had more than we could eat
and so I put some food on an extra plate, took the extra utensils, and brought the man some food. I walked up to him, told him we were having a late night barbecue, and had cooked too much, and asked him if he wanted some. He got up out of his chair, thanked me, took the food, and said, Thank you, my name is Mike. I told him it was nice to meet him, to enjoy the food, and then we went back and finished our meal.
After we finished our meal, and Mike was still over there fishing
. we noticed what looked like a nutria off in the water (an otter like river rat type of creature in the south, if you dont know what they are lol). We went over to take a look, for about 1 minute. We turned our back on Mike to do so
and when we turned around, Mike was gone. And not only was Mike gone, but everything was gone
no truck, no generator, no lights, no fishing equipment. It took him 30, loud, and noisy minutes to set up all his gear
and in the span of 60 seconds, all of it vanished.
I looked at my friend, and I said, Who was that ? and before I could get the words out of my mouth, I had a vision of the word Michael in golden lights. When I say vision, I mean
it wasnt before me in physical reality, it was either with my spiritual eyes, or with my mind (if you dont believe me lol). And it sunk in
could that have been the angel Michael ? My friend did not have that vision that I had, and so arguably I either had a revelation of who that individual was, or I didnt
while my friend did not have that same revelation, and so wasnt sure whether or not to agree with me.
That would be the first time I had met Mike.
Now fast forward to the Lucifer experience I first described. The family members house I was staying at when that happened
I had a lot of issues going on with the family, as well as some other people, that involved a lot of spiritual warfare. There were people making a lot of choices that I was believing was being influenced by spirits of some sort, and that such spirits were causing harm. Ill spare a lot of details, but lets just say I had more than enough evidence and reason to believe that God was helping shed light on events, and try to prevent some of them, etc. This family was involved in what I viewed as being influenced by something evil
based on a lot of events that were transpiring. This family was also lifelong believers, and also denied such evil spiritual influences in their lives. So I didnt have them on my side so to speak, we disagreed.
That day I had the experience of the light flashing above me and all that
. I had a vision earlier that day (same type of vision I described above). In that vision, I was part of an arena type of environment, and there were people all around
there was an opponent that was much larger than me, and menacing, across from me. His shape was not like anything on earth
I cant even describe it. It was like someone took a wild beast, added a porcupine, and blew it up on steroids. I couldnt even find its head, or face
only that it was large, looked as though you wouldnt want to touch it, looked as though it was comprised of various types of creatures, etc. And while I faced it, all the people around this arena moved further into the background, fading off into the distance so to speak (while still watching), seemingly so that I was going to face this thing down by myself.
Later that day, is when the event with the light happened.
I felt overwhelmed after the light thing happened
like maybe I was in over my head, because I was linking the flash and the horror my body went through, to the vision I had of facing this menacing foe. So I prayed for two days, to see if I was on the right track, and doing Gods will, and that I wasnt walking into things I needed to walk away from.
One of those days
I was driving on my way to work, praying that same thing, meditating on whether I was in over my head or not
and I decided to walk into the store to get some mints or something, and as I was walking in, a person rounded the corner and started to walk right towards me.
It was Mike.
Now, the first time I had seen Mike was roughly ten years, and that was the only time I could remember seeing him. Thus, if that was Michael the arch angel, that was the first, and only time, I had seen him. And now here, for the first time since that time, I was seeing someone I immediately identified as Mike
. 66 or so, tall, black male, camp jacket, ball cap, all of it. And there was somewhat of a crowd going into and coming out of the store
yet he walked through this crowd right at me, and as he did so, I froze
. one of those surreal moments type of freezing. He looked right at me the entire time, and said, Hey big man, smiling, and then walked past me. As he walked past me, I tried to bring myself out of my state of awe, and I made myself turn around to go after him. I mean, if it was Michael the angel, I had questions lol
and as I turned around and chased him around the corner he just walked past
again, he was gone. Just like that, he was gone. I didnt see him anywhere.
Not sure if I was seeing things now
I took this to mean that I was indeed caught up in some spiritual warfare, or conflict
but was this Michael the angel I was seeing ? So after work, I was praying again, for God to please not let me be misled
I mean, were angels, or whatever Michael is, just walking around us all the time ?
As I was praying this
and driving home, I took a road I dont normally take, which placed me to drive past a McDonalds in a wealthy part of the city I lived in. As I was driving, out of the blue, I believed the Holy Spirit was directing me to pull over at this McDonalds. I didnt normally eat McDonalds, but I did just that anyway
I pulled over, pulled into a parking spot. Not sure what to do next, I believed I was just supposed to sit there
like I was being guided and lead. So I just sat there
and within a few seconds, I noticed someone walking towards me and my car from the side of my window. I hadnt noticed them before, but there they were
and there was an old beat up blue Oldsmobile type of car or something I hadnt noticed before either. The guy walking up to me was older, short (like 56 or so), slightly overweight, white, had a cigar in his mouth, and he had this huge grin on his face, and asked me, Sorry to bother your lunch, but would you mind jumping my car ? I have the cables and I smiled back at him, and he smiled bigger with this, You low what this is type of look. And I told him I would. I pulled out and positioned my car, got out, and as I did so, I noticed his car was COVERED in bumper stickers
all of them saying almost the same thing: Trust God, Believe God etc and so forth. Very simple messages. And when I say covered, I mean covered. Dozens and dozens perhaps. He set it up to jump, and he did so
and I thought about asking him a million questions, but I had this distinct feeling or understanding like, I wasnt supposed to question him, I was just supposed to go with it. Well I jumped him, and he never stopped smiling the whole time
he unhooked the cables, gave me a nod and said, Thank you, and then got in his car and drove off.
Now, was that guy an angel ? I dont know. But in context of what I was praying about, coupled with seeing Mike again for the second time, coupled with the Lucifer incident
if I wanted to put those puzzle pieces together like that, it would be one conclusion.
Now, within the next few days
my family came back, and I was no longer staying at that house, and I was praying about what to do, and also
what was the identity of that flash ? What was that ? Was that, in and of itself, a being ? Was it a portal of some kind ? What was it ?
I was speaking with another believer about it, and the first thing out of their mouth, was Well, Satan was cast down like lightening from heaven, and he is said to appear as an angel of light
and after she said that, it hit me like a ton of bricks, and settled within my spirit a certain way
and similar as to how I saw the name Michael in vision, I suddenly saw the name Lucifer in darkness. I prayed a lot about that
because I am of the camp that Satan is not Lucifer (as others have stated), and I am also of the camp that Lucifer may not even be a proper name in the scriptures (as others have stated)
yet that is the name I got. And the idea that the flash I was saw was this entity being cast down, or perhaps appearing as light (although my body reacted to it as though it were darkness)
did not leave me.
