Christians- Have you ever come face to face with Satan?

Question

I have and almost lost my life. I can tell you he has the worst hatred that anybody could imagine. First of all he comes across as an angel of light, and it is not long before he shows his true colours. I can tell you Christians if it was not for Jesus stepping in when he did I would be dead. But that would be OK as I would have been in Heaven anyway.Before I became of Christian I did not believe in the devil. I do now, as i have seen him. He appeared to me because of something I was doing, which I did not thing there would be any consenquences (however you spell it)to my actions. To my surprise he appeared to me in November of 2005 in a vision.Why did he appear to me? Well for a start I was calling him every name under the sun a lot, thinking nothing of it. I did not relise I was playing with fire. Until November I had the shock of my life. Yes Jesus did Supernaturaly step in and will not say on hear how. After my encounter with Satan not long after I started to bleed to death

with no know reason. It was the first time it had ever happend to me. If I had not have gotten down to Hospital when I did I would have died. I lost so much blood, I looked pale as a ghost, I was so weak that I almost had trouble standing and was getting more and more tired, and my headaches were increasing. The hospital(Royal Womens) put me on drugs to stop it, and one month later the same problem came and I got emergency treatment as well. The hospital did exrays and all sorts of things and found no medical reason why this took place, and said it was very unusual. Satan comes to kill, steal and destroy.Have you had any Supernatural experience like that, and did God save your life like he did mine. Like I said Jesus did step in Supernaturaly as Jesus came into my room to let me know everything is OK and that is when he let his power go through my body for the first time that I could not move, it was awsome.

Answer 1

i have felt the shadow, i know the darkness, i know how consuming it feels, the name jesus has a power to it that i still do not fully comprehend, only that he was one of authority, and they are not just obligated to step back, but are very seriously forced to. does it matter if it was satan or one of the dark forces moving within this world, no, the name does not matter, but the intent does, and the intent was for harm. I BELIEVE YOU!!! even as a child i broke nightmares with the name of jesus, i thank my mother for this, even at 7 or 8 years old, she gave me the ultimate weapon, and that weapon to proect myself was the name of JESUS!!! i still fight them, they step into my friends into my environment, and i see thier faces through my friends, and see what they do, but i am not afraid, and i know neither are you, be well, bless the fighters!!!

Answer 2

I actually had a near outer body experience and didn't even realize it till months later that I almost astral projected. I thought it was just a dream/nightmare but how real it felt chilled me. I saw and a dark figure looming by my door just standing there watching me it was so scared and even when I tried to move I couldn't I was paralyzed and when a tried to speak, not a word could exscape me. And even though I could see everything around I could feel that my eyes were closed. Eventually threw my struggle I was able to wake from the night mare. I didn't call for the help of Jesus or God at the time because I didn't understand I was under demonic attack. Later I looked up information about that and found that even though my body was sleeping , the evil presence disrupted my soul causing my soul to wake up and become. Aware that there is such a thing as evil. And ill never forget the feeling of that evil presence. There is nothing more frightening. But because of that night I'm also

In ancient Jewish tradition Satan is simply an angel doing the work that God assigned to Satan to do.

The word Satan means challenger. With the idea of Satan challenging us, or tempting if you will. This description sees Satan as the angel who is the embodiment of man's challenges. This idea of Satan works closely with God as an integral part of Gods plan for us. His job is to make choosing good over evil enough of a challenge so that it becomes clear to us that there can be only one meaningful or logical choice.

Contrast this to Christianity, which sees Satan as God's opponent. In Jewish thought, the idea that there exists anything capable of setting itself up as God's opponent would be considered polytheistic or setting up the devil to be an equally powerful polarity to god or a demigod.

Oddly, proof for The Christian satan/devil mythology is supposedly found in the ancient Jewish texts that were borrowed to create the bible. One can’t help but wonder how Christians came up with such a fantastically different interpretation of Gods assistant Satan in their theology.

Other hints about Satan’s role in human relations can be seen if you look at the name Lucifer. It’s meaning in the original tongue translates as Light bearer or light bringer. Essentially the bringer of enlightenment. The temptations of the Satan idea bring all of us eventually into Gods light. Hardly the Evil entity of Christian mythology.

I've certainly felt his presence in direct opposition through manifestations and in other ways including the spirit of oppression and of course the anti-Christ spirit which is prevalent today (including in this community). I've not seen him. I certainly believe those that have so I'm taking you seriously. Sounds typical of our adversary. I'm glad God's love and the prayers of saints brought an angel of the Lord to intervene on your behalf because that sounds typical of my Jesus! I think if we had spiritual eyes we would all be surprised at what we would be seeing. I would like to hear how your life was spared. Have you given your life over to Jesus Christ completely? The same as God is love, satan is the polar opposite, sheer hatred. If a person messes around on his territory long enough and he will destroy them. That is his only goal. Jesus came though that we might have life and more abundantly. I pray others will realize how serious spiritual matters are concerning their souls. As the saying goes "If you play with fire you're going to get burned." Drugs do open people up to evil spirits by the way as do many other activities.

Answer 5

The word 'Satan' in its original meaning means 'Adversary'. It's a word used in the Bible referred to King David too ( adversary of the Philistines), because its true and ONLY meaning is that: ADVERSARY. NOT demon, evil, devil or whatever else the Fathers of the Church claim it means. ( a simple ethimologic crosscheck would show that;).

So, LEARN to distinguish the so-called Devil from Satan. The ancient Sumerian God Enki (Ea) was called Satan because he opposed his brother Enlil whenever he tried to get rid of mankind. Anyway, an excursus on Sumer, ancient religions and the Bible would be too long, besides I don't think you could possibly follow it;)

Last but not least: I don't know what you're on (drugs, weed, etc etc...), but I can tell you it's not good for your health;) Hope you'll recover somehow, one day, Peace.

Answer 6

Wow you'd now be the most sought after by the 'God's" TV shows and earn more than enough to last for generations.
See the way the devil can change your life !!

Answer 7

What a blessing you have experienced! But never provoke Satan even the Highest angel in the LORD's army left that up to GOD and did not dare to take it upon himself to rebuke him.
We read in Jude 1:9 "But even Michael, one of the mightiest of the angels, did not dare accuse Satan of blasphemy, but simply said, "The Lord rebuke you." (This took place when Michael was arguing with Satan about Moses' body.)
-----
Paul has the best advice and most important on what and how to handle incounters with Satan in Ephesians 6:10-18
A final word: Be strong with the Lord's mighty power. Put on all of God's armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies and tricks of the Devil. For we are not fighting against people made of flesh and blood, but against the evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against those mighty powers of darkness who rule this world, and against wicked spirits in the heavenly realms. Use every piece of God's armor to resist the enemy in the time of evil, so that after the battle you will still be standing firm. Stand your ground, putting on the sturdy belt of truth and the body armor of God's righteousness. For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News, so that you will be fully prepared. In every battle you will need faith as your shield to stop the fiery arrows aimed at you by Satan. Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Pray at all times and on every occasion in the power of the Holy Spirit. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all Christians everywhere.

May God continue to keep you and bless you

Answer 8

You saw Satan? In a vision? How did you recognize him? Who knows what Satan looks like? How do you know he was a "he" and not a butt ugly she? What do you mean by "vision"? How do you know it wasn't a hallucination? Or a dream? Do you have any idea how many people claim extraordinary visions? Would you believe such a story?

Sorry to be skeptical but it's not possible to accept such a story on somebody's word.

Answer 9

No, I have not come face to face with Satan. I must say the power of the mind is freakin' AMAZING! You should consider selling the rights to your story. John Carpenter might be interested. Hey .. I'm just sayin' .... there could be some coin in this for you.

Answer 10

Good going.
I hope you're right. I haven't had an encounter with the devil, and I don't plan to. I would be dead, I just know it, unless Christ decides to step in, but I'm not worthy for that.
Would you want to face him again?
Don't play with the devil. Don't play with hell. It's as real as anything can get.
