In support of your great post....

After being bounced around quite badly by the catholics and then the protestants of various kinds, I tried to forget about God. It's not easy to get rid of God... I could feel a loving Personality wooing me back. With a fair bit of reluctance, I started over...

I decided to erase everything and start over with the Bible and the Holy Spirit as Teacher. I needed to prove these things one way or another.

First question: Is the devil real? (I didn't want him to be) That was answered with some quite frightening experiences a few wks later.

Dealing directly with the Almighty was key...and real.

Some months later, I was leading a small Bible study for troubled kids in my living room. Easter was approaching... As I read aloud the scriptures about the Resurrection, I suddenly felt invisible hands around my neck trying to choke me! The malicious, desperate, hateful hands tightened. They wanted me dead! It was THEN that I KNEW the reality of the Gospel.
