My name is Jon Iwanyszyn (grandfather came over from Ukraine), I moved from PA to TN when I was 16 around 2001. Been into truth since I was young thanks to my dad planting seeds of distrust in my young brain. I never really found any people outside of my family that were into anything supernatural or conspiracy down here. Then again we moved to the backwoods place here in Tennessee.

I always knew there was more to life than the physical, when I was 3 or 4 I stayed up late coloring and when I decided to leave my room, door open wide, something invisible grabbed me, had its hand over my mouth and I couldn't move, I could hear my own muffled screams, as it held me there for maybe 30 seconds. Then I stumbled forward and screamed my way to my parents room. Over the years I had some more encounters, less scary though.

When I was in my young teens I went to a sleep over, his parents were on vacation. As I lied down to go to sleep, on my back, head under a window looking out at the stars, I noticed one of the stars was brighter than the others. Then I noticed it looked like it was vibrating, suddenly it moved rapidly to another location, stayed there vibrating, kind of shaking. At this point I told my friends and we all watched it zig zagging, but stopping, moving in a straight line to another point, vibrating, moving in another direction, but the zig zag course it was taking was coming towards us. Eventually it came to the house we were in, and flew directly over us moving slowly, much larger than the house, completely silent and filling the house with either a greenish or blue glow. At this point we were terrified, the kid who lived there was talking about getting his dads shotgun, the other said he got a look at the underside from another window and said he saw something rotating on the underside. I really do not remember going to back to sleep or anything and the other kid who stayed sleeping didn't believe us. I'm not saying we were probed or anything I just think I would of remember every detail of the night.

Another time at the beach when I was maybe 20 my brother and I met some girls and made a campfire out of the dune fence on the beach, as we looked up at the stars, I said wouldn't it be cool if we saw a ufo. Within a minute the five of us saw a moving light, it stopped, turned bright green, grew larger and then shot up away from the earth until it was no longer visible in 1 second, like it took off at warp speed. This makes me think what we saw had some spiritual aspect because that is some coincidence that within a minute of me saying it would be cool to see. Or when I was younger that the thing I saw miles and miles away would come over the house full of kids that was watching it.

After I moved here I kept researching craving truth but of course Satan's deceptions and doctrines vastly outnumber and seem much more interesting than God's. I was reading Robert Monroe's Far Journey series about out of body experience and David Icke, face palm. Which seemed to tie together all the different things I've read about. Like rat poison its 99% percent truth but it is the 1% deception that gets you. In his case it is all the pre-Jesus figures, which has been disproved. The series Know Your Enemy on youtube or just download the torrent .iso files I think they call it the Fuel Project, it is three DVDs long. Does an awesome job at explaining How Semiramis, Nimrod and Tammuz became the first false trinity, not really trinity but group of three. Semiramis tried to pass off her son as the prophesied messiah. Then that Babylonian religion spread to the whole world under different names, Semiramis known as the queen of heaven, now worshiped by the Catholics as Mary, and you know what, they even call her the queen of heaven.

I was plagued by sleep paralysis on almost a nightly basis, then again I was into drugs and metal music. Most of that music was anti Christian and some was satanic, I just saw it as a stage act. I was absolutely plagued by sleep paralysis, and you know what, those tormenting beings only flee and are terrified of name. Try crying out to Muhammad, Buddha, or Krishna . Nothing will happen, cry out to Jesus, and the sleep paralysis stops instantly. I'm sure you guys know about Chris White and Tom Bionics work www.stopsleepparalysis.com and the hundreds of people that found that out to be true also. Unfortunately I only found out about this after I came to the Lord. I was also trying astral projection. The first time I really did anything worth noting besides just doing barrel rolls or hitting the ceiling, I went to the living room (in spirit) , saw my dad, I took note of what he was eating, drinking, wearing, watching and the time on the clock. Then I went down the hallway, through my door, saw my own body and as soon as I reached it, bolted awake. I went to the living room and smiled because everything was as I saw it. Whats funny is that I would always be so excited and eager before I started trying to go out of body but when the vibrations reached the crescendo I would be apprehensive or even afraid to go out and wouldn't, as if I sensed the demons that i believe make it possible. Sure God can pull you out to show you a vision, demons can also. I don't believe we can do that alone. I think people have died doing this, found with all the candles burnt out, with no other sign of cause of death. I now hate hearing the new age wishy washy, vague, deep sounding statements that are empty of meaning or truth. Remember what the Bible says about the heart "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it"? I truly believe we can only either contact God through the Holy Spirit or the hoards of demons who transform themselves into angels of light like their leader Satan.
I married a Christian women, and was always mocking and making fun of church. When I went with her to church I saw everyone as weak minded sheeple, since I was always a man apart. To this day I still have a problem feeling kind of sheepish sitting in church, and I had to swallow my pride big time to admit that these people who never really studied much, had the truth and I having read volumes was deceived. I was utterly convinced of my spiritual beliefs, and knew Jesus never existed. I actually said a prayer in a totally skeptical manner, but was sincere that if He was real I would follow Him. Then one night I said a prayer: Jesus if you are real and really created everything of course I'd serve you, just show me something. A month later while driving my jeep after mocking and scoffing my wife's church it was as if my spiritual eyes were opened I knew I was on the wrong side of things as sure as if Jesus was sitting in the passenger seat. I stopped the car got out and knelt and prayed for forgiveness and was hit with the most intense feeling of power and love which engulfed me that you could mentally, physically and spiritual feel. I wept and wept. To think that I walked and talked against the one that created me and he still had this insane amount of love for me, it's beautiful.
After this when those vibrations came associated with astral projection and sleep paralysis, those spirit guides and the beings which help you leave your body revealed themselves as who they really were, the most horrifying demons you could imagine not just for appearance but because the energy they gave off, pure evil and hatred for me. They hate us because we are made in the image of God and they hate him. Anyway these being of “light” tormented me after giving my life to Christ. There are so many stories I later found of people coming out of the occult, former psychics, wiccans and the such talking about going through almost exactly what I did after coming to the real Light. Their spirit guides and familiar spirits showing their true identities afterwards. Whats funny is that if i ever went back and listened to some Lamb of God, or Opeth, some of my favorite bands. I would get hit with some sleep paralysis. My wife was trained to shake me awake if she heard me able to get some groans out while i was paralysed, before i was saved, and even a little bit afterwards.
Well, I thought you guys might find this interesting. I suppose i do believe that ghosts are really demons trying to fool us into thinking that we are free to linger or move on at our own choice. The Bible seems to make it clear that people go to one of two places after death. "It is appointed once for a man to die, after this the judgment". After all, I'm pretty sure the word demon has a meaning related to "of great knowledge," so they could easily know what your grandfather smelled, and looked like. I just love hearing all those ghost stories, "I was hearing scratching on the walls, and apparition floating above my bed, after soiling myself, I realized it was just my dear old grandmother watching over me." My wife's mother had a very real message in the form of a dream from her mother, her mother talked with her but she said they were separated by some veil that the two couldn't cross. I can buy that.

Hi Jon!

It's your cousin, Danielle. Remember me? :)

I have so many stories I can share with you and have had similar experiences that you noted. You wouldn't believe some of the stuff I've experienced over the years.

I believe we have some gifted people in our family that are capable of doing some extraordinary things. And I've also been visited by UFO's on many occasions. Have you ever felt as if you weren't from this world? Felt different than anyone else and know things sometimes you don't know how you know? Can sense what people are like within minutes of meeting them? Have hyper-reflexes?

I've been able to tell when people are going to pass away or if something bad was going to happen. I never fully understood but it's a curse as much as it is a gift. For instance, we were driving down a highway and I see the spirit or energy of what resembled a car flying by on the right side of us which would have been off the road by brush and weeds. I even brought it up to my kids and was a bit freaked out because at times this stuff makes me feel nutz. Less than a mile down the road was a major motorcycle accident where a guys legs were bent backwards and he was in excruciating pain and I knew he wasn't going to make it. He passed away and I knew what I saw was either his spirit or the spirit of something coming for him. I've had this stuff happen since I was probably 2 years old. It happens all the time and I really don't have anyone to talk to about this stuff.

I think I found your post for a reason. :) I truly believe there are angels on earth and before Teta passed she telepathically told me I'm an angel. It was the day before she died, she was sitting in a car staring at me and I could hear her thoughts. I knew she was going to pass but I know she wanted me to know why we were put here. I know I'm here to make a difference and to help enlighten the sheeple. Most people are so controlled and blind to manipulations of the government but there are people who can't be affected by the frequencies and constant media bombardment, that's us! I've been told there are bad spirits and energy that try to knock us down and gain our gifts but we have to protect ourselves. I can explain more on how to do this and have so much to share with you!

I've missed you so much little buddy(big buddy now) :) hope to hear back soon :)

Btw, astral projection leaves your soul open to lurking evil and can leave you possessed. I'd recommend being really careful with that because it is super dangerous. It can bring in negative spirits that will harm your family. It's happened to me.

Hey, you were the last person I expected to reply to my message. It is cool to hear from you, small world. I just need to call you sometime, I have been wanting to since you started talking to my wife on face book. Probably haven't gotten around to it because I pretty much feel like death all the time now, since the last time I visited PA last June, I came back and started having weird symptoms. Pretty sure it is chronic Lyme disease. I get burning down my arms, the skin on certain places on my body gets sensitive is feels like my shirt and pants is made of sandpaper, just feeling crazy and irritable, anxiety, blisters on my hands... weird crap. I have had Lyme disease twice when I was younger in PA, but this is different.

Hey,

Reading this was like reading my own life story. I also came out of the occult and had similar experiences like you, also dealt with sleep paralysis for a very long time and even after being saved I get attacked every now and then but now I praise God because He has given me authority over these demons, I'm not afraid of them anymore but I use the sword of the spirit against them and they flee!! We are in a spiritual war everyday, the devil tries hard to keep those that are not saved by deceiving them through many means and lying to them and he hates the children of God( those who have been redeemed by the blood of Christ) That's why we have to put on the full armor of God and be aware of the devils schemes. God is so long-suffering and merciful, He's love is just amazing. I pray for all those who are still involved in the occult to have their eyes opened and come to the marvelous light of Christ! Thanks for sharing your testimony.

Glad to hear others enjoying it too, glory be to God. Last week for several nights in a row I got attacked with sleep paralysis. The official idea that it is just your body mechanism for keeping you from acting out your dreams seems legit, but when you are half awake and all of a sudden you feel this energy rush you and you are paralyzed, explain that. I think sometimes it happens as a result of trying to indulge in a former sin, but other times I think that when you are trying to move forward and grow the demons hate that and attack. Like you said though all it takes is the mention of Jesus in your mind and whatever it is flees with its tail between its legs.

God has given me an evangelical heart and when I see people who seem to match the image of being in darkness, or if God makes me feel the need to talk to them, as shy as I am, I usually do and if I don't I feel horrible.

Wow, I had the same experience. That's how I knew Jesus was God.

He goes on to say when he tried to share his testimony they told him "The Coffee and Donuts are over there..." lol ;)

Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. - Hebrews 7:25

The worst thing is that Satan is so powerful he can turn himself into a cloud of light and make you feel loved
