A personal encounter with Satan
“You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman” – Gen 3 vs 4
With my head filled with the thoughts of just about everything; the frequency of the tremors and the consequent anxiety, writing a word became the most difficult thing to do. The poor diary in front of me wasn’t sure what to make of my countenance. Everything else stood still in the given space. Except of course the usual company that cherishes moments like that. The victim has to be too broken to think, too frustrated to hope, and too weak to care. That’s his best moment. He walked in like one whose form is gaseous; a thick black smoke. He Didn’t need to ask for seat. He drew one out and sat directly opposite me. He noticed I knew he was there and just sat there starring at me.
“Am I supposed to be afraid?” I said to myself. Someone had to begin a conversation. I did.
“I have always wondered how you feel when you hear people say you are responsible for the evil things going on” I muttered. “How do you live like that?’
“Oh well, it depends on what you mean” The Daemon said with all calmness.
“Why do you do the things you do? Why are you here?”
“I help them help themselves when nobody cares” he said. “That’s all I do”
“Oh great. Am probably talking to myself”
“Well, you are not”
“If you ever get the chance to restoration, would you take it?”
“Do I get to choose? It’s not easy to afford such luxury. Like I said, all I do is help. I help you. I help them”
“It’s amazing you could sit here and talk with me”
“I love to bargain. When you are down and out am the hand that helps”
Still too weak to lift a finger I could barely whisper a word of command “Leave in Jesus Name”. He left.
He left quite well but not at a great speed as I had imagined it should. My firepower was too weak to be a threat I know. So he probably left knowing I was in no mood for a bargain.
I prayed some words as my strength could afford. To God this time. “I need you as always. I need you now”
God Is our helper in our darkest moments. He understands our pain and many tribulations and has promised to be there when we face our storms.
