A comment occasioned by a recent post offers us a twofold tale of high strangeness and spiritual warfare.
I have seen demons myself. One night, after a series of bizarre dreams, I woke up to the faint sound of my mother calling for help. My mother lives far across town so I thought, “Surely that was just part of the dream I just had.” and started to lay back down when suddenly a random thought popped into my head:
“God has given you a vision of the future! Leave now and go help your mother!”
I will admit, for a second I wondered if my mother really was in danger. As I sat in my bed another thought appeared:
“God did not give you a vision of the future and that was not your mother’s voice.”
“Then who’s was it?”
“ME”
Suddenly, a large pale white face with black holes for eyes and large black lips lunged out towards my face. It started flying around the room making horrible loud noises that sounded like a distorted lion roar mixed with a swarm of bees.
As soon as it showed itself it got hard for me to breathe and my whole body started shaking as if I was having an panic attack. I remember hiding under the covers trying to mutter out “Lord have mercy”. When I finally did, a blinding white light enveloped the room and I woke up.
Demons can use any impression that’s come through our senses to tempt us. It’s child’s play for one to impress the sound of your mother’s voice, a lion’s roar, bees’ buzzing, etc. on your imagination.
As an aside, that’s also why viewing lewd images is an exceptionally bad idea.
