Nearly Destroyed by Lucifer
https://elliaison.org/forum/index.phpindex.php?t=rview&goto=3923&th=973#msg_3923
I was visited by Lucifer.
I suddenly saw a man in a dark cloak with a hood appear in front of me, possibly fifteen feet away. His face looked evil (however his appearance was normal, I'm not sure how to describe this, but his evilness was within his face. He looked normal, yet evil. With a square jawline and slightly long face.) I was so scared that I didn’t know what to do, then I remembered in the Bible that Jesus had rebuked and cast out Satan from his presence.
He walked slowly towards me slowly, and the closer he got the more I felt the feeling of destruction wash over me, a literal destruction. I was terrified, my heart shot up in my chest and beat quickly. I knew I would be destroyed if he caught a hold of me.
I raised my arm to the square,
and said “In the name of Jesus Christ Leave Satan,”
He laughed a wicked laugh and walked even closer. I sunk into total despair as I realized that I could not get rid of him. Then as I was about to abandon myself to destruction, like a lightning bolt hit my mind, God said in clear words,
“SING A HYMN!”
it was as if the heavens parted and this beam of light came down quickly into my mind to save me, and so I quickly obeyed and started singing the only thing that my scared mind could think of, I am a Child of God. And when I started singing this song, he stopped, glared at me, and backed up. He had the most wicked face I had ever seen. It was as if evil just emanated from this being. He was as evil as you could possibly imagine, he was the pit, he was the darkest of dark evil that could possibly be evil. I have never nor will ever meet someone as evil as he was.
As he backed up, the feeling of destruction and suicide started to leave. I continued to gain strength and kept singing in front of the adversary and he slowly backed up again. And I sung louder, gaining courage, that he was leaving. Then he disappeared, along with his destruction and suicide feelings. The feeling of suicide was so strong that if I had not a strong will to live that it could be possible I could have killed myself then and there with who knows what. I kept singing that song as loud as I could, even when someone pulled up in a truck, I didn’t care one bit that he heard me singing I am a child of God. I wasn’t sure if Lucifer disappeared and left or just disappeared and was there. So I continued to sing. After I was done with cleaning out the stalls, I quickly went home shocked and frightened with what I had experienced.
Commentary:
I would like to add, that I could have continued to rebuke and cast him out. Eventually he would have had to have left, but I don’t know for sure, but it is important that I followed the instructions from God first, I don’t know what would have happened if I didn’t do what he told me to. Destruction was imminent at that point. I believe that angels were placed in front of me and pointed their weapons at this man, all because I had obeyed the voice of God. However I did not see my angels near me. I do not think he left because I sang a primary hymn if that makes any sense.
What I learned:
I learned that Satan is more powerful than we think he is. He also is weaker than God, but it seems not by too much. I have also learned that God is always there, but sometimes we have to be quick on our feet following instructions so as to not be destroyed by the adversary. It's good to always have a feeling of being on guard against the adversary, in your thoughts, heart and mind.
Be aware.
Be Courageous.
Be faithful.

https://elliaison.org/forum/index.phpindex.php?t=rview&goto=3919&th=970#msg_3919
1. Demons can sound like God in personal revelations
2. Demons sometimes DO NOT glow (they can) but if you ever meet a spirit WITHOUT glory it is never a good one. Spirits without glory are bad. In D&C it speaks of spirits of just men made perfect and that they must glow and have glory or they can be detected as Demons without glory.
4. Satan can provide as many confirmations to his revelations he gives you.
5. The world is so dark that even satan can appear as an angel of light
6. You need to be aware that Satan can say pretty much anything, even say "Jesus loves you," and preach "religion" to you and just add a few things that might be slightly off but you won't be able to detect it. As long as you're following their voice then it doesn't matter what they say.
7. Be wary of spirits you cannot see but can hear, sometimes Satan will use the opportunity to talk to you because you cannot distinguish who they are by trying to shake their hand (since you cannot do that).
8. Practice pretending that an angel will come to you, practice the idea of shaking their hand. Most people won't remember, and this can be an excellent way for demons to decieve the person.
9. Be HUMBLE. many people I've met with communicating with spirits, even if they say Jesus says this to you, or to follow Jesus, these people dont take it well when I say "that's not Jesus you're talking to" or "that's not quite right". Always check the source and see if the Holy Ghost testifies of the message. Even well meaning people can lead you astray.
10. Demons can appear as anyone.
11. Try to hear the spirit and listen to the spirit. Things are going to get trickier as time goes on, more subtle and more blatant.
12. Most people are not good at discernment. Meaning they can't tell the light grey from the white. Lack of information, lack of experience and lack of something else I'm not sure what it is.
13. Don't accept anything a demon offers.
14. Cast out the messenger just in case you're not sure. Say "in the name of Jesus christ leave satan" usually if they leave they're bad.
15. Don't talk to Deceased relatives who have not entered the light and accepted Jesus. Satan might have used them to decieve you, he can torture spirits if they don't listen to his wishes so you never know what's behind that message your great grandfather is telling you.
16. Just because you believe you're in the light and only talk to light spirits, doesn't mean satan won't try to decieve you.
17. Stay away from anything that doesn't invite the spirit of God.
18. They can impersonate people's voices, gods voice, satans, your mothers, anyone's.
19. They can read your thoughts.
20. They're levels and rankings in the spirit world and the higher and closer to christ you get the higher ranked satans will come after you.
21. They can give you revelations, and sometimes this is the reason revelations don't come true. Or it's because it's a revelation predicated on the person's agency, however, not every grand revelation is from Jesus.
22. They can get into sacred and holy places such as the temple by attaching to others.
23. Most people are possessed or followed by evil spirits unless they have implemented a casting out regimen daily or at every negative thought, or have been translated where the gates of hell shake at their presence.
24. Satan can possess younger people but may not tempt them.
25. Scriptures help attack the adversary especially the book of mormon, however opening and reading does not litterally cast them out at least from what I've understood and experienced. Only casting out does that. You can put on hymns and read scriptures all day but it doesn't get rid of that spirit, you're just more intense with God. Cast out
26. Many people with depression suffer from evil spirits
27. Suicide is inspired by an evil spirit near the person. Cast it out in Jesus name leave satan!
28. Sometimes it takes more than casting out it takes fasting
29. Sometimes you need to cast out multiple times.
30. Jesus will guide you through this.
Be diligent and faithful to christ despite what the adversary will do. ]]>XLucettaX2021-07-27T17:59:18-00:00Re: Ignoring the Demons

Unfortunately, even though we have cast evil spirits from our lives, they can continue to influence those around us. We are still tried so that we can grow through our trials. ]]>bishop2016-02-29T04:02:02-00:00As a Child

I don't remember anything else that day except what I experienced as an eleven year old boy. I sat on the upstairs bed of my parents with one of those not so small, clunky, built in the 40's(?) type writer. I was deeply engaged in typing out my tithing receipt for something like a dime. I could see the sun directly through the bank of 7 windows about 2 feet wide and 4 feet tall. It was a nice day and my face was to the windows with the long end of the room to my right and the door a few feet away to my back right.
As I worked the gizmo's of the typewriter the room grew dark as clouds covered the sun and I looked out at it to discover that there were no clouds covering the sun. The room; however, was quite dark and I became aware of someone else in the room at the far end. I turned but saw no one... let me rephrase. I saw a man in a long robe like what we see as period clothing from the days of Abraham. He had a dark beard and medium long dark hair. He stood a few inches off the floor. I could see all this detail, but I couldn't see anything with my eyes. It was quite unexpected but I trusted that what I 'sensed' was the reality. I quickly stood up and the figure tilted slightly in my direction and moved like what I can only describe as a 'glide'. He closed the distance in a mere second. As he arrived in front of me I couldn't see him, but he hit my chest with enough force to knock me on my back on the bed.
Let me explain that the force was not like someone hitting you in the chest, then your rib cage compressing. It was that my whole chest, front to back and side to side was pushed all at once as if my upper torso was impacted all at the same time and force. Not like being hit, but more like a full transfer of momentum... or like he grabbed each molecule in that zone at once.
I was able to get up and made my way to the door in haste and bolted to the stairs with a double handrail. (one on each side). As I stepped down a couple steps, my right ankle felt like a hand grabbed it and was held back. If not for he double handrail I would have sailed headlong down the stairs. Reaching the bottom I opened the door, ran through the kitchen then living room and out the front door. I didn't stop until I reached the middle of the front street. I honestly don't remember what happened after that.
Shortly after that I would experience times I would hear breathing and other times I would feel my body start shaking slightly, yet I didn't seem to be moving. I had been so terrified I made the decision not to read the book of Mormon so the adversary would have no need to bother me ever again. I didn't read the BoM until my senior year before going on a mission. The shaking in bed never went away and over the last year and a half I have experienced it something like 20 - 25 times. Each time I command it to depart but it brings those memories back, and each time the shaking stops.
I have never prayed about that experience until yesterday when I finally learned I should ask more questions of the Lord, but that is for another thread.]]>Rodney2014-05-06T16:37:27-00:00Re: Possession, 2

The reason that I divulge this information is so that it can be made apparent why my father would make such a promise. He knew that I had had a very hard life when I was growing up. He always wanted to protect me . . . I guess this was because he was gone so much taking care of others. I tend to be very sensitive to things and probably care too much about what other people think. Regardless, I am blessed beyond measure. Some very choice souls have taken me under their wings . . . for some, I have been their biggest trial. I, too, have read Doug Mendenhall's book on Conquering Spiritual Evil and have requested Heavenly Father to place a perpetual sphere about me, our home and family that will be restored after every undesired "mortal" intrusion bringing the "negativity" in. It has taken me quite a while to learn what it means to love and how to nurture others. I am grateful for my life . . . but I wouldn't want to repeat it. I really don't want to be recycled. (Alma 37:11) I have become very empathetic and can't handle people being hurt. For this reason I couldn't become a doctor like my father. I care and I don't like to see people get hurt or hurting. I can testify that Love will always find a way. I have been a receiver and giver. I have learned how to love because people and God have shown me what it is and loved me first. It is a wonderful feeling to know what God thinks of me . . . sometimes I don't feel worthy to have so much revealed to me. I wonder sometimes if I reveal too much. Hopefully I do it in the correct forums???]]>brrgilbert2013-11-09T12:43:55-00:00Re: The Valleys are as Low as the Mountains are High

I just wanted to confirm the advice given by Jules.
Conquering Spiritual Evil changed my life. Led me to new knowledge and experiences. Like many on this and other LDS forums, I am on a path of discovery, open to seek out truth whereever it may appear.
Though the dreams you are having may appear hard to endure, you may have been greatly blessed by them for they are pushing you to explore and seek out further light and knowledge. When you read Doug's book, you will know how to remove these spirits from your life. Contact Doug directly after you have read the book and he will help you understand things more clearly if you continue to have challenges. He's a lovely man to know.
have a blessed day]]>Thebruceguy2013-11-07T23:00:33-00:00Re: The Valleys are as Low as the Mountains are High
