I have an interesting story from when I was a freshmen in college. I went and saw the first "Paranormal Activities" movie and when I came back to my dorm room later that night I was attacked by a demon. Long story short I saw and heard it scream (with my eyes open, and small light on in the room) multiple times and then the next day told one of my friends who was not a christian about it. He of course didn't believe me so later the next day at night I told him to come in my room and I would turn the light on that I had on the previous night and see if anything happened. Sure enough the demon came back and it scared the crap out of him. Later that night I thought the demon was coming back when I was laying down to go to sleep ( you can feel it, its like your body is scared but you don't know why) so I decided to go next door to my friend who saw the demon and sleep in his room bc I thought maybe the demon was haunting the room and not after me. Wrong! After about 10 min it came back and this time my friend was really scared. He asked me a bunch of questions like if it would possess me and I told him that since I'm a christian it can't but that it can scare me and oppress me (five senses see it, smell, feel...etc). Then he told me that he didn't want it to try and hurt him so he wanted to get saved. I then led him to christ. The peace in the room after that was unbelieveable, it was truly like being in the presence of God and I will never forget it. However, That night we slept with the light on and nothing else happened except i kept waking up feeling like something was grabbing at me but couldn't quite get me. Kind like a dog trying to tear you apart but the chain stops them right next to you. I didn't think much of it at the time but the last four years have been terrible. It seems like nothing goes right and I still occasionally get attacked by a demon. I may not have realized it then but I made a huge sacrifice for God. God didn't rescue me when I prayed to him the first night and for good reason since I led my friend to christ the next day however God still hasn't told the demon to stop attacking me. My question is first if anyone has experienced a demon attack? Secondly, how do you keep the faith when God threw you in the fire and still hasn't came to get you? Or is that the nitty gritty part of being a christian that preachers don't like to preach? For example, all the desciples lived terrible lives of torture and persecution for following God and is that what I should expect for embarassing the devil and using a demon attack to lead someone to christ.
