Now this sounds crazy, I will just go ahead and tell you...but its as real as the hair on my head! There was a period in my life (about 3 years ago) when I was going through soooooooo much! I had been dating a guy and he was very ungodly! I was being abused mentally and the devil was right up in the middle of everything that was coming my way! I was out of the will of God and was ready to give up!
Well after some serious issues coming my way and some mental abuse from someone and the devil I was exhausted. I remember going into my room and laying on the floor in the fetal position and crying out to God (saved)..."Take me Lord, I am ready to leave now!" I was begging God to take me because I was so down and out, and so come against by the powers of hell itself that I was done. I was ready to be done here on earth. I wasnt about to turn away from God...but I was ready for Him to take me home! Well as I laid there crying with my eyes closed...It was as if I had actually opened my eyes and was seeing my room around me...My eyes were still closed...but I was having a vision.
In this vision, I was laying there on the floor just as I really was and I saw an angel standing over me. He was gorgeous with armor all over him. He was absolutely stunning and yet terrifying. HE was about 7 ft tall and completely solid. By that I mean he looked insanely strong. So as I acknowledged his presence...I began to feel the realization of who this was. I am laying in the fetal position and he is standing over me...in victory. He has so much pride coming off of him...his face was turned up to the ceiling but his eyes were looking down at me...(what you call looking down your nose at someone). He was looking at me and the feeling that came off of him was "Ive got you right where I want you." This was satan. Call me crazy I DO NOT CARE. Like I said before the man with an experience is NEVER at the mercy of the man with an argument. It happened to me...it was real! So anyways I saw him and felt all of this and I just KNEW that if I opened my eyes he would really be standing there...so I didnt LOL I kept my eyes tightly pressed together!! But as all of this was going on...it was as if the ceiling parted and I could see people peering down from Heaven (Crazy I know but this is what happened) I immediately thought about the "we are surrounded but such a great cloud of witnesses" scripture and I knew that God had just stood up of His throne to come to my aid. So I hear the voice of God speak to me (Satan is still there mind you) and God says..."Stand up!" I was terrified but I slowly stood to my feet. (I actually stood...but kept my eyes closed too scared to look lol) Then God spoke to me and said..."Now reach up and put your hand around his throat!" I reluctantly reached my arm as high as I could and put my hand around his throat! (I didnt feel anything in my hand THANK GOD lol...oh but this was really happening believe you me!) Then God spoke and said "This is the authority I have given you through my Son Jesus!" I then began to dance around in my room and praise the Lord! My sorrow was gone lol!
Now...some questions...does the devil really look like this...I do not know. We know that he IS a fallen angel...and that angels are warriors...so yes it is very possible. However I do not believe that what satan looked like in this vision was the point. I believe that the point of this happening to me was that I would see how big my God is. Because here I am so small and weak compared to this angel...but through Jesus I was able to stand up to him and literally shut his mouth with my hand around his throat. God was trying to give me some backbone!
There are scriptures in the bible that talk about when God finally destroys satan that we will be like..."This is the one?? This is the one who gave us so much trouble???" LOL so he isnt as big and bad as he trys to make himself out to be! But like I said God had a lesson to teach me...so he let satan think he was big and bad....but then he put him in his place!! :) God is good and SOOOO powerful!!!
The devil is a bully...Dont let him bully you!
