> so that the person literally feels them tactually making contact

> the time I was demonically attacked, early on in my ministry, when
> I could feel things of the demonics crawling all over my body like
> hundreds of ants.  At the same time, I could also feel wave after
> wave of something that emotionally felt like filthy dirty cold
> water being splashed upon me by the bucket full during the
> attack.  I did not know, during those early days, what to do.
> Plus, I was afraid of them.  So I didn't try to fight back but

>      I awakened in the middle of the night.    Getting up, at my
> advanced age, I went to the bathroom first and then went to the
> kitchen and got a drink of water.  While standing at the sink, I
> heard one of our dogs enter the kitchen; walking slowly across the
> tiled floor.  I clearly, without a doubt, heard his toenails
> click, click, clicking on the tile floor of the kitchen as he
> walked across and stopped near our refrigerator.  We also put our
> dogs on leashes at night which are tied down near the bed so they
> don't get up and roam around the house.  In this case, I just
> figured one of the dogs had been overlooked so he had come into
> the kitchen to see if I would give him something to eat.  Not
> knowing which dog it was, I couldn't call him by name, so I
> slapped my leg and called to him.  When I do this, regardless of
> which dog it is, they always come because they think I have some
> food to give them.  He didn't.  I called again but he refused to
> come.  I suddenly knew, in my spirit, it wasn't a dog at all.
> Half asleep, I decided that he would just follow me back into our
> bedroom, if he was a dog, that is, so I left the kitchen.  I did
> not hear him follow.

>      The next day, I asked my wife which dog had not been hooked
> up to his leash near the bed.  She said, "None.  They were all
> hooked up for the night."
>
>      "Are you sure?" I asked.

>      "I'm positive," she replied.  "They were definitely all
> hooked up last night."

>      So, I ask you, what had been in the kitchen with me?  It was
> most certainly real; there is no doubt about that.  No, I wasn't
> dreaming.  The sounds of clicking toenails could not have been
> more real to me as they tapped on the hard floor surface.  I know
> now what it was.  Do you?
>
>      "Do such things really happen?"
>
>      Yes.
>
>      "Were you afraid?"
>
>      No, I said I thought it was funny.
>
>      "Why?"
>
>      Because I was being allowed, by the True Lord Jesus Christ,
> to be tested.
>
>      "Why didn't you send him away?"
>
>      I didn't have to.  He had no right to be there so I knew he
> wouldn't stay.  I just went back to bed and ignored him.  Nothing
> more happened.
>
>      "why didn't he talk to you or make frightening noises?"
>
>      He couldn't.
>
>      "Why not?"
>
>      Because, I had not given him any right to attempt to gain a
> foothold in my life.
>
>      "Doesn't it bother you that there are likely demons in your
> house?"
>
>      No, because there aren't demons in my house.  Once and awhile
> they may show up but they can't stay because they have no right to
> remain.  Plus, you see, I have the authority of the True Lord
> Jesus Christ over them.  I don't have this authority because I say
> so, I have it because Jesus says so.  Any more questions?
