I know many people don't believe in demons. I actually have a friend who is a Christian and she doesn't believe that God would allow demons to still be around us. That logic doesn't make much sense to me because never does it say in the Bible that demons have been completely cast out. If you believe that the Bible is God's word then why wouldn't you believe that demons still exist and are in our world. I think they'd be very happy for you to believe they weren't around; it would let them move around you without being cast out.
The reason I'm writing on this subject is because I had an experience with a demon. I know that they have been around some of my friends and family in different encounters, but I'd never had an experience where I actually saw or heard one. I'm sure they've been around me in some capacity, maybe influencing some of my emotions in some of my darker periods, but this was something that I don't think I will forget.
I was listening to music in my car and a song came on that I'd listened to many times before. As I really paid attention to the lyrics they started to make me uneasy and all of a sudden a voice I'd never heard in the song before came from the speakers. The voice said something along the lines of 'you're all gonna die' or 'you're gonna die'. Normally I would put it down to interference but it wasn't through the radio, it was my iPod. And the voice sounded so evil and sent a bolt of fear straight into my chest that I immediately turned the volume down. I began to pray and cast the demon out of my presence in the name of Jesus and I immediately felt the fear recede. I turned the volume back up after changing the music to my Christian playlist and continued to pray.
When I arrived home I started to tell my mother about what had happened and broke down in tears. Though I'm a sensitive person, I've never broken down in tears like that when talking to my family (excluding the times when family members were in life and death situations). It shook me and my Mom was very worried about the experience. She wondered if we'd opened ourselves up to demons through watching some of the paranormal shows we'd been watching recently. I made sure to delete the song I had been listening to and the rest of the songs by that band. I wasn't taking any chances.
I don't know what it was that I did to cause it, or what the demon's motive was in trying to scare me, but I refuse to let the devil win. I don't feel fear from it, I made sure to plead the blood of Christ on my soul and I know God will protect me. Anyone who knows me is aware of how easily freaked out I can get, so it's a change when something this jarring doesn't leave me scared. All I feel now when I think about a demon being around me is peace. I know that God has surrounded me with his love and protection; they can't hurt me. It makes me almost want to cry with happiness at this amazing feeling I have residing in my chest right now. I wish everyone could feel what I'm feeling at this moment.
I'll leave you with a verse:
"Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness." -Isaiah 41:10 (KJV)
