I don’t talk about this anymore, because many people get freaked about it. In fact, I leave it out of my testimony, but maybe I should include it. A lot of evil things happened to my wife and I prior to becoming saved, however about 6 months after I gave my life to Christ I came under major attack by evil. I was working for some big name Christian leaders who sent me to train IT developers in San Diego. I was exhausted when I arrived so I went straight to my hotel room. As soon as I jumped into bed the room became very active. At first the door opened and slammed like someone was very angry. This was a very nice hotel with multiple rooms. I ran out of the bedroom to the front door, opened it and no one was there. I got back into bed and turned

I began to tell Bob what had happened last night and as I did Jeff began to have a face of doubt. Jeff asked me if I had taken any drugs and I said, “No sir I am very clean.” Bob said, “I want you on the next flight back to Reno, don’t go home, go directly to my office and I will meet you there.” My flight arrived about an hour before Bob’s. As he walked into the office he was already prayed up and began to explain to me that demons can no longer hurt me because I am now a Christian. He asked if they had touched me and I said, “No that is one thing they did not do this time.” He asked if I had ever been anointed with oil. I had not so he began to explain how some believe it is symbolic while others believe it brings on the power of Holy Spirit in a real covering way. But he really believed in anointing for healing.

As he prayed with me anointing my head with oil I felt an overwhelming power from the Holy Spirit. Today I can sense and discern a supernatural realm, but that day the demons stopped appearing visually to …show more content…
He is not God so he can’t be all places at all times. But I believe he has demons that conduct his evil work. Evil tempts us all. I believe we should be aware there is a realm that influences but cannot possess a Christian. Influence is much different than taking control of the body. But make no mistake, “We are the battleground.” (Earley, Ch. 19) Many times I believe God has chosen me to glorify Him in a huge way and evil knows how I will become a threat. Reading books by C. S. Lewis, I know that doubting what God will use me for eventually is my biggest battle.
So as I am writing this, looking back over what I read, I can relate to Early explain why he never told his friend. “The enemy was trying to keep him from hearing. Therefore, he was blinding my friend’s “spiritual eyes” from “seeing” the gospel and blocking his “spiritual ears” from “hearing” it. Effective evangelism is a spiritual battle.” (Ibid.) I guess I should be including this in my testimony some how. But people always look at me like I am
