“The Lord will rescue me from every evil threat…” (2 Tim 4:18)
Four days after I started my bible sharing apostolate via the internet in June, 1999 I had the following eerie experience. I remember the date so well: Wednesday, June 23, 1999.
At around midnight, I suddenly became aware of a presence in my bedroom. The light in the room was still on as my husband was still out. He was still at the factory making last minute preparations for the out-of-town trip early Thursday morning of three of our staff who were going to install poultry equipments in one of the farms there.
I was aware of being awakened from my sleep by an unseen force. I tried to open my eyes, but I could hardly do so. The unseen force was trying to overpower me. I had goose bumps all over my body. I felt that the rosary was still in my hands. I had fallen asleep praying the rosary again (as usual! ). Automatically, I found myself praying in my mind: "I…believe… in… God… the… Father… Almighty…” laboriously and with great difficulty. It seemed the presence was trying to prevent me from saying the Creed. I can’t describe it but there was something diabolic and eerie in what was happening. Midway in the Creed, the thing subsided. I immediately got up because I smelt something burning. I checked the electrical outlets. Nothing. I went out of the room and inspected all electrical connections. I unplugged the computer. I went inside Nikki’s (my daughter who was 19 at that time) bedroom; checked the electric fan. It was not on. In the kitchen all electrical appliances have been unplugged. I noticed I did not sense the burning smell in those areas, only inside my bedroom. When I went back to my room, the burning smell was gone.
While I was recalling the incident to Nikki at lunch the following day I suddenly remembered the burning smell. “Could it be the devil that came visiting to try to oppress me?” I thought aloud. And Nikki commented: “Mommy, maybe the devil is so outrage over your bible sharings.”
If it was indeed the devil who tried to oppress me because of the apostolate I started (I don’t want to be presumptuous, really) I have nothing to fear because the Lord will always be there to rescue me from his evil threat…
Have you ever experienced the devil’s oppression at one time in your life?
