Spiritual Attacks

Note: This really happened to me. I'm not lying.


To all my blog readers, my apologies for not updating my blog for so long. I've been quite busy recently. This post is specially dedicated to my Christian friends. Well, what I'm going to share with you is about my experience last week.


As many of you know, I've gotten a job at a certain company doing stuff like logistics... which basically means that I have to carry boxes of computers around. Quite fun though... We get to travel all around... which means I had to be sent to places like Tebedu, Tebakang, Serian, Sungai *something*, Riih Daso and so on...













Delivery












Well... on Friday, on the way to Serian, our job was to deliver 24 sets of desktop computers to rural schools. On the way, i looked up to the clouds and was shocked to see a cloud formation representing this...













Serpent waiting to devour the head of Jesus












Yeah. Shocked? What I saw was actually a cloud formation depicting a serpent ready to devour the head of our Lord. At that point, I didn't have my camera phone with me and I didnt get to taking a pic of that formation. My heart was beating madly and I was breathing heavily. Knowing that I had a youth gathering that night, I would be able to get an explanation of what was going on. So I just brushed that image out of my mind and i had simply forgotten about it.






That afternoon....





I had just finished my lunch and was on the way to Tebedu. While having lunch break, I was deleting all the messages that my ex had sent to me. Unsurprisingly, I really felt like I was in my own world and yeah... a little part of me still misses her, though I know that there would be ABSOLUTELY NO CHANCE that we were going back together due to some complications.

Just as I was siting in the urine-provoking truck (the truck was driven at almost 120km/h and we were thrown up and down... or rather.. 'jumped' up and down rather uncontrollably), a little voice inside my head started talking


Voice: You know you miss her...
Me: I don't know...
Voice: You'll never be together ever again...
Me: I know....
Voice: Haven't you ever thought of just... leaving this world?
Me: (unknowingly) yeah...
Voice: Then why don't you....
Me: I don't want to...
Voice: It'll be painless...
Me: ....
Voice: You still remember all those sweet messages she sent to you?
Me: uhuh....
Voice: You won't ever receive them again...
Me: *frus* I don't wanna die..
Voice: You said you'd die without her...
Me: that was last time...
Voice: Then what about now?
Me: *tries to stop thinking and concentrate on the road*
Voice: She lied about saying that she'll be with you forever...
Me: There are complications...
Voice: You should be angry....
Me: (influenced by anger)
Voice: She left you without a good reason...
Me: i know...
Voice: Aren't you angry?
Me: *ARRRGHHH* GOD HELP ME!!!!!!
Voice: ...
Me: (praying) LORD I NEED YOUR HELP!!!!!!
Voice: ...
Me: In the name of Jesus BEGONE!!



The little voice stopped. Terrified at what happened... I started to pray... and i knew that I had almost lost a spiritual battle. I haven't been that close to the Lord... and I guess that in that point of time, I hadn't had enough faith to fight that spiritual battle.





On the way to the border, I didn't see any mountains or hills along the way except for the ones beside the straight road. So on we went.. and there were many delays and stuff... by 4.30, we were already on our way back to Serian to deliver desktops to the teacher of SK Tanah Puteh.












I saw a beautiful scenery.. but when i got nearer... i saw what looked like this...











familiar?





Yeah, it looked EXACTLY like what i saw in the clouds!! and what's worse...



The mountain depicting the serpent was scaled... and it was all whitish or brownish... whatever it is... but then... look at this.












Looks EXACTLY like a snake



See?? the black part looks like a really BIG patch of ashes... but who the heck would burn something on a SCALED HILL??? furthermore, I SAW THAT THING LOOKING AT ME while i was going along... freaky eh?








Yep... pretty sure it was the work of satan. But wait, i thought it was over. Upon arrival at Serian, I almost got knocked down by a car and had to wait for almost half an hour before we could finally meet the teacher who was receiving the goods. but NO.. another agonising hour had to be wasted because the teacher was trying to sort out some money matters.. and by the time it was done it was already 6.30! and as we all know, it takes AT LEAST 1 hour to arrive in Kuching.




So in the truck, I could only pray... when I saw a few hills on my left... depicting Jesus with his arms stretched out, laid on the floor not once but THREE TIMES. Yup. I was literally gasping for air and just laid back and stared in front. I had a revelation saying "you'll be home by 7.15". And so I did. *praise the Lord*





I thought that all I had to do was to just rush, shower, change my clothes and then rush on for the youth gathering. HOWEVER... when I got home, I discovered 3 things.


1. My dad's car broke down
I have no idea what happened but the car seemed to be working fine

2. A temporary stay-in aunt had to be rushed to the hospital
She was coughing out blood

3. I wont make it to the gathering
You get the rest




I instantly knew that the evil one was at work. All I did was pray... my dad got home... but we had only one car and we had to rush my aunt to the hospital. I was thinking "God... let ur will be done". And my parents had to call for an ambulance to get my aunt to the hospital... while I was rushed to the gathering as i KNEW that there was something important going on.





I thought I had missed praise and worship... but when I got there, they were only singing the 2nd song... and I thought... well... praise the Lord. We instantly went into worship... and there were many touching verses during sharing that night... I talked to Mervyn after the thing and he said that we'll pray about it... So i called my parents and I followed Merv.




After the praying... i knew... that that very day, the evil one knew that there was something very important during our gathering that would've changed our lives forever... and he was bent on stopping ME from getting closer to God. (obviously)



I also noticed that everytime there was something going on for the youths, I will be held up in one way of another... hmm... there should be something to this... but i know that as long as I have faith... nothing can stop me... and the same applies to all my readers =D


but why me?

hey kelvin.. I found the link to ur blog through friendster. not sure whether you rmbr me, but just a lil' intro: I'm Evelyn from last yr's HTC Christmas Caroling group (alto).. ring a bell?

Anyways, I just started reading ur blog not too long ago, and this particular post stands out. I think you did the right thing by praying to God for strength and help! I personally struggled through some of those "spiritual attacks" recently... and sometimes find it difficult to stay focus on our Lord Jesus Christ... but i just didn't manage to put them down in words.

Btw, thanks for sharing those experience on ur blog as well... that's a good testimony for all Christians out there.. including me!

Continue to pray always, and may God bless you!

Praise the Lord!
