The meeting of heaven and hell

Tonight, I experienced real, tangible spiritual warfare, for the first time in my life. It was the most terrifying experience I have ever encountered. I watched as demons took over someone I love, and fought and prayed harder than I have in my entire life, to get him back. They were dark, and vicious, and so terrifyingly real... If ever there was a doubt in my mind that there is a war being waged for the souls of mankind, that doubt is gone. I had nothing to rely on, nothing to comfort me, but my own faith, that God would take care of him, that God would never let him out of His sight. It was the only thing that brought me through. 

It's so fresh in my mind... The dark and mysterious way they talked, the evil in their eyes, shown through his... The way they mocked me, fought me, tried to discourage me... I never knew what real demons could do. The way they shake you all the way down to your very soul... When he finally came back to me, I cried tears of relief, and thanked God profusely for his deliverance. I have never been so happy about a simple text message in my life. That message was the end to the longest, most agonizing three hours of my life.

Today, I saw the way a soul breaks... The way a person can be invaded by forces outside their control... The most excruciating violation knowable to man - the violation of the soul. I watched it twist and tear and distort, all the while praying with every ounce of faith I have, begging, pleading with God. Calling on him to vanquish these enemies, not for my sake, but for his. I experienced the power of intercession, and watched an angel fight 100 demons. I have experienced the meeting of heaven and hell, and part of me senses that this is just the beginning. And that is terrifying.
