Though I don't believe in such things I will talk about the closest I have come to seeing something like it. I have complex hallucination, mostly auditory or tactile and rarely visual, and sometimes they have taken the forms of strange human-like monstrosities or lovely figures. These figures usually appear when I am in sleep paralysis which I used to have several times a week before being put on medication.

yes I do believe the demon is still inside me but I also believe that Jesus will win this fight!

One problem can a daemon and the Holy Spirit be present in the same body? No they cannot and Jesus said in Matthew 17:12 that Elijah has come already.

Last night my lights were off and i saw swift movments of something darker than black and i shut my eyes and I thought to myself ( So this is what true terror is huh?) I kept hearnig a voice saying to open my eyes and i said( Nope i think i'm good with my eye's closed) eventually i listened and it was still there. it had no form but I could see it, So i talked to jesus to calm myself down and fell asleep. the thing is these were my exact words, not the kind of words someone would say in true terror huh? I guess i kind of had a funny humor because even though i was terrified i felt like it couldn't hurt me

being able to see angels or demons doesn't matter as much as being able to see the will of God in your life and the lives of others and being able to discern between good and evil. it is more important to be able to test the spirits then visually or auditory simulation of seeing or hearing angels or demons. sometimes seeing them is just a distraction tactic used by the enemy to confuse and make you ineffective.

I believe I've seen both but I would rather talk of God and His ways then that of His messengers or of Satan's minions.

why are people afraid of demons? they have no power because JESUS has defeated them upon the cross.

Remember these verses among many others:

2 Timothy 1:7
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

Colossians 2:13-15

New King James Version (NKJV)

13 And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, 14 having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. 15 Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.




When the Bible speaks of Principalities and powers, it refers to the demonic realm, the spiritual powers of evil. GOD has triumphed over them and disarmed them, why do people through their fear and unbelief give back to these creatures chains and whips to enslave themselves again to the lies of the world?





2 Corinthians 10:4-6

New King James Version (NKJV)

4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, 6 and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.


God bless and keep you all.

During a dark time in my life I believe Yeshua came to me. I sat on this park bench and I told him I was not going to leave until he moved in my life some how. A little after that talk with God a man came over and I asked him to set down. I studied his kind features. Part of his beard was missing as if it had been pulled out. We talked for a little while and I poured my heart out to him.I asked him his name but when he answered it was like someone covered my ears. I could see he was speaking but could not hear him. He asked if I would trade money for his gift card. I was unsure if this was wise but in the end I did. When he started walking a way this peace and joy fell over me. I watched him walk away and when he was about 30 feet away he jumped up in the air and clicked his feet together. I remember thinking is this hat Yeshua looks like. later at home I was reading my Bible and came to this verse Judges 13:18 And the angel of the LORD said to him, “Why do you ask my name, seeing it is wonderful?”

I then thought of this verse Isaiah 50:6 I offered my back to those who beat me, my cheeks to those who pulled out my beard; I did not hide my face from mocking and spitting

I have never seen them, but have felt their presence many times. I have also been touched by them in most of these times. I think the funniest and most random one was when I was at youth group and we were in the middle of worship. I had my eyes closed and hands raised singing to God and all of a sudden something poked me under my arm. I was so sure someone poked me that I dropped my arms, swirled around and stared at my two friends (the only people standing near me). They were like "what?" and I asked them why on earth they just poked me (thinking it was rude) but they were like "what on earth are you talking about". When I realized they seriously had no idea what I was talking about I had to laugh, God really has a sense of humour sometimes. I've had two freaky experiences with demons. One I was home alone in my apartment, even my cat wasn't there, and I was laying in bed with my eyes closed finishing my prayers when all of a sudden it was like a face was starring me right in the face. It felt like it was only an inch or so away from mine. I sensed right away it wasn't anything good so I started rebuking it. It took me a long time to open my eyes, thinking for sure there would be someone stairing back at me. The second time I was in church with my head bowed and the pastor was saying a prayer. All of a sudden I sensed something standing in the aisle way just a few pews down starring at me. I sensed it wasn't good and it actually made me grip the pew with my nails. The most amazing experience was at another church. I was there for youth group I believe and we were again worshiping up front. I had my eyes closed and hands raised when I felt what I only could describe as an angels wing brushing against the side of me. It was a strange feeling because i wasn't happy, I actually flinched. But I wasn't scared either. I knew it was an angel, but the power I felt from that touch was overwhelming which is why I kind of moved away. It's all very interesting really.

A person said they had like 10 % of there body to live in and that was right side clocest to middle.
Was like the wing was tied up 24/7 across back and twisted and enemies had taken over body except for this 10 %.
They laughed a lot and when asked them to leave they laughed and never did.
They took energy and felt wonderful while the soul who had ten % body live in had not and felt awful and like raped of body.


As for me personally, yes Ive had experiences.
Angel when life was saved and a few other experiences.

Have any of you ever seen angels, or demons, awake? if so how did you feel when they appeared ? what thoughts came to your head? did you have a conversion W/ them? can you describe them?
I saw something looking at me through the window, once when I was around 6 yrs old.
Had its face up against the window. It wasn't human by any means. It didn't look
real solid either. Its hard to describe, but I will say, it looked a lot like those UFO alien faces.
It paralyzed me with fear. I couldn't breath in nor out. I managed to finally move my arm and get
my cousin's attention, who was beside me playing. She saw it too. Then I was able to breath.
It isn't my nature to freeze in fear, but that thing put me on lock down almost. It all happened at night.
Forty years later, I will not leave the blinds up on my windows at night. I don't want to risk looking
over and seeing it again. I don't know what it was, I just know I don't want to mess with it.

It's interesting a couple of you have mentioned seeing shadow figures. I have a friend who sometimes sees angels and demons. She describes them as shadow-like entities, the demons being black and the angels being white.

Personally, I've never seen any kind of supernatural creature and honestly, I don't want to.

I have seen many demons of many "types", I've heard them, and I've talked to them. My experience with the demonic is a bit of a long story, so I will only go into detail if asked. If any of you come across demonic influence tell them to go away in Jesus name, ask for a hedge of protection from God, and be sure to stay in the Word.

No but at one point in my life I was a practicing occultist and a demon tried to posses me. Needless to say, that's when I got saved!

Duchess, did they generally come as angels of light to deceive you or did they appear in their true forms and try to scare you?

They came as their true forms. I knew what I was getting into.

In my experience, coming to you in the "friendly" way is plan A. When manipulation fails, they resort to Plan B "Intimidation".

Okay, that sounds like it aligns with their nature (as found in the Bible). What did their true forms look like? (you don't have to answer if it makes you uncomfortable). Cheers.

I didn't actually see anything with my eyes personally like you would look at a person or object, it's really hard to describe what it's like. A foreign entity trying to take your body over. I truly hope nobody at CC ever has to go through it. It's a horrible experience. Blashphemies worse than you can think of being projected onto you and the attempts to force you to join in. It's a very horrible thing. I think it's more common than people think but no one who has came through that experience wants to talk about it. They're worried people will look at them different and call them crazy, probably with good reason. I'm not shy about it because if it wasn't for the Lord, I would have never survived the experience. The lukewarm sections of the church never take demonic possession or spiritual warfare seriously.

I don't have a problem answering the question, but I'm not sure I should answer it in detail in this forum. It's most likely going to cause debate, and I'm not up to defending myself against Christians who tell me my life's experiences didn't happen.

Here's the short version. I used to be a witch and I've seen/been apart of lots of stuff. There are four types of demons I've seen. Shadowy figures, as monster-ish beings, as people (sort of), and as angelic-ish types of figures.

Okay, creepy. No, I believe you. The spiritual realm is very real. Thank God for his saving blood!

i remembered one case happened at high school. There were very flirty girl there from Thailand who had lot of her original culture influence also affecting to her. One example was that she knew something about fortune telling. I don't now mean the "entertainment fortune telling" but the real one. I had experience from that when one day at lunch break she grabbed my hand starting to play and examine it. Her face looked quite odd, like she's searching something she couldn't find and that confuses her. I didn't knew she was trying to read my fortune until her personal "fortune telling Demon" spoke to me: "your future is hidden from me. I cannot go back to her empty handed (But I promise that whatever you ask that will be granted) so please be civiliced and tell WHAT SHALL I SAY TO HER?!" the last words were like desperate yelling in my head. I thought for a moment what to ansver and picked then (to my thinking) foolproof ansver to "play along". I "told" or showed the demon a picture of one particular girl saying. "Alright, have her as my girlfriend and wife... (If you really can)" The girl I spoke of though is not real girl but a character created by me. The demon left and soon the girl examining my hand told me I will have really beautiful wife and described some of the features of this girl I told the demon.

Later I think the decision in this particular case to play along was good because it proved that I really was withnessing a real demon, not just my own imagination. Because Demons specially knows that I can sense or feel some of their presense and therefore they try to confuse me. (like giving me similar but false feeling and doubt is this my imagination or is this real demon Im dealing with)
