The Prince of the Air
2020 hit the world. I was confused. How could almost every government in the world do the same thing at the same time? It was like they had one leader. Who was it? As a conspiracy theorist, I thought it was the Freemasons, Illuminati, Bilderberg Group, WEF, WHO, etc. I found videos online from fellow conspiracy theorists who confirmed my suspicions, but they revealed a much greater evil I hadn’t considered: Satan.
I wasn’t interested in God, so Satan hadn’t crossed my mind, but seeing Christian-conspiracy theory videos woke me up. It became obvious that the powerful, controlling, evil entity in the world had been Satan all along. That explained why so many governments hurt people, hid information, and ignored what voters wanted. They were following Satan’s will, not God’s.
When I realised that Satan was the ultimate threat against us, I found myself wondering how Jesus died. I thought of Him dying on the cross and couldn’t understand why being nailed to wood had killed Him. God led me to a video that did an “autopsy” of Jesus’s body. With a little more reading, I discovered what a crucifixion involved. Whipping, beating, nailing, suffocation, broken legs. I imagined Jesus enduring all that and it made me feel immense sadness. It took another month or two before I realised the reason He endured that pain was to save us from Hell, a place where the unsaved will pay the price for their sins forever.
Spiritual Warfare
Over the next few weeks, I bought a cross, started reading the Bible for the first time, and prayed regularly. As a child, I remember only praying when I was desperate. Now I was praying once or twice a day, sometimes for an hour at a time. I cried a lot and talked a lot. God had never heard so much from me! I, unfortunately, donated my divination cards instead of dumping them. Now I regret that! I did bin my “healing” crystals, though.
It was around this time that I had two major spiritual attacks.
First, my laptop stopped working properly. I tried everything I could, but nothing worked. I was so angry at God for letting this happen, but then He fixed my computer. It was just in time because I felt like leaving the faith.
Within two weeks, I was attacked again. My website was stolen! It took days to figure out what had happened. I was so scared that my domain name had gone for good. Feeling betrayed by God, I cried, got very angry, and threw my cross. I was done with God, again.
But with His grace, I got my website back, plus a free year of hosting, and transferred to a new company right away.
I believe those were both spiritual attacks. Why? Because around the time I was saved, I sensed a foreboding presence in the room. I looked back but no one was there. I think that if Sariel/Sophie is a dark spirit, it wasn’t happy to catch me praying. That spirit worked on me for months, if not a year. It must’ve been hard seeing all its work amount to nothing.
