The
testimony of James Coldiron
(FireStorm in the forums),
the founder of this website:
In 1975,
I was 12 years old. If you are visiting here and are
not a Christian, but researching UFOs and alien
abduction, I ask you to hear me out before you click the
button to close this window. Just give me a chance to
tell my own story here.
If I was
a normal 12 year old, you would have to find out from
someone who knew me then. I thought I was normal,
although I had a voracious desire to learn and to read.
At 12, I was reading about cosmology and astrophysics,
but I still liked comic books and riding my bike after
school. I was the first kid in my rural town to own an
Atari 2600, and we thought it was amazing. Boy, that
was a world ago, huh? I liked hiking in the mountains
behind where I lived, and I had some really good friends
who I used to occasionally get in trouble with. Though
I had hobbies like physics and history, in other ways I
was just like any other kid. I was an only child
though.
On a hot
August night in 1975, I had turned off my television
around 1:10 a.m. and decided to try and get some sleep.
School would be opening soon and I was enjoying my
Summer Vacation. At 3:15 a.m. (according to the clock),
I woke up and found myself curiously awake. In fact,
there was a feeling in the room that made me unusually
alert. I didn't know what was going on except for the
feeling in the air like you get before a powerful
electrical storm strikes. I just could not feel
comfortable though everything was unusually quiet. We
lived off of a rural road in Southeastern Kentucky, and
there was no traffic or noise outside that night. You
could hear the crickets chirping on the other side of
the window and that was about it. But I could not shake
the feeling that something was about to happen. After
about 15 minutes of this, I turned over on my left side
toward the wall and window by my bed.
At that
point a few things happened within a few moments.
First, the crickets stopped chirping suddenly and the
night became deathly quiet. There was suddenly in the
room almost a smothering feeling like something was
about to happen explosively. It was not a pleasant
feeling. Remember that I am wide awake at this point,
and now my nerves are so suddenly tense that I feel like
jumping out of bed. The next thing that happened was
that there was a poor cat that just outside my window in
the yard. The moment that the room exploded with light
inside, the poor cat went mad with a scream of terror on
the outside!
Suddenly
the feeling of a lightning storm in the room was evident
while multiple colors were flashing on the white
paneling that I was watching. If you remember the old
silver Christmas Trees that had the light with the
revolving wheel of colors that would shine upon it, this
is what it seemed to me. It was like one of those light
wheels with a super bright light behind it was being
shone on my wall, but instead of the slow changing of
colors of a Christmas Tree, it was changing at a rate of
about 5 colors per second... red... yellow... green...
blue... and shades in between over and over again.
I turned
around to see what was causing such a light and instead
of multiple lights, saw instead a "ripped hole of light"
in the middle of the room halfway between the bed and
the far wall. It was an area of pure light, and out of
that light stepped the most terrifying nightmarish
"thing" I have ever seen in my life.
The odd
thing is that I cannot force myself to remember much
about the details of the creature that stepped out of
the light except for its clawed hands. It was a
reptilian being and fairly tall, and it was totally
physical when it tried to grab me. In fact, it left
nasty scratch marks on my chest which hurt that I found
after the encounter.
Several
things to note here, I started throwing things at it
that I could get my hands on which it deflected to all
parts of the room including two Bibles that I had on the
shelved headboard of my bed. In fact, it knocked one
Bible so hard to the opposite side of the room that it
loosened the bindings. I had both my mom and dad in the
other side of the house (it is not a large house and
both their door and my door was open), and I was
screaming to them at the top of my lungs the whole time
that this occurred. They never once woke up until it
was over. This thing grabbed me by my tee-shirt and the
skin of my chest and was trying to drag me off of the
bed, presumably back into the light.
I
started to call out on God to no avail. Then this voice
spoke to my mind rather strongly, "plead the blood of
Jesus Christ". I was in no mood to argue with it since
I had just prayed for help.
I said
out loud, "I plead the blood of Jesus Christ!" Suddenly
and violently, it was thrown off of me. If felt like
some unseen hand had grabbed this nightmare from
wherever, and had pulled it off of me as easily as we
might pick up a puppy. I turned quickly to the left
again and started praying and the light show started
again with the multiple colors. Then it was dark and
quiet. There had been a sound while this was going on,
but I cannot remember what it was. And over the years,
I have not been able to force myself to remember the
details of what is looked like outside of those claws
that was grabbing me.
When I
called out to my mom and dad in a totally hoarse and
weak voice after the incident, they came running to me
quickly. Of course, it was all over. Even though they
tried to convince me that it was a dream or night terror
(which one of them had read about at some time... my dad
was a teacher), the fact is that they had not awakened
until it was well over, though it was clear I had been
screaming from my hoarse voice. Plus, the room looked
like I had been in a fight with someone and they slept
through it. Several books and other items were badly
damaged through the whole room.
I don't
want to talk about it too much except to say that after
that day, I drifted majorly away from God. I was pulled
after that experience toward other religions and New Age
ideas. In fact, a darkness overtook my life that took
me coming back like the Prodigal Son at age 20 and
calling out for mercy to Jesus Christ before it was
broken off of my life. I came back into fellowship with
Jesus Christ in 1983, and I have walked in Him since
then. One other time, an event that some would call an
abduction started to occur years later after I was
married. But I commanded it to stop in the name of
Jesus Christ, and it did stop completely. These things
are demonic, and they are subject to the authority if
Jesus Christ.
This is
something that I have had real difficulties in sharing
over the years. First, it was very difficult for
me to talk about this. I took a test when I was in
college which showed that I did not have a normal amount
of healthy fears. This has been a problem at times
for me as I have found it very easy to get into trouble
at times. But trying to share this for a long time
brought up in me a "fear" that I did not like to admit
to. Plus, for some reason, my mind blanked out the
face of this "thing", although I knew it was some kind
of reptilian nightmare. The hands were another
matter. They were burned into my memory forever.
Plus, my
own parents knew something very bizarre had happened
since my room was destroyed, and yet they did not awaken
until it was well over. I wonder if they were
trying to convince themselves as much as me that it was
only a night terror when it happened. So, in all
honesty, I always thought that I would come across as a
nutcase if I actually admitted to what had occurred.
Plus, there is the thought, "why me? What is wrong
with me that this should happen to me? Am I insane
and could I go from a normal, stable life to having some
kind of schizophrenic break suddenly in the middle of
the night?" I mean, who would really listen?
It was 1975, and I was a kid. Nobody would believe
me.
If the
need to minister to people who have had these
experiences were not so important, and God has not
impressed me as intensely has He had to share it,
then I would never have told it to anyone. With
me, it has always been a very private thing that I wish
I could forget.
There is
a part of this I need to clarify also. At this
time in my life, I was not that close to God. I
was a Christian and believed upon Jesus by faith for
forgiveness of my sins. But I was a kid and wanted
to be a kid as long as I could. How could I know
that I was about to have that stolen from me? I
had tried to "rebuke it in the name of Jesus" because I
had heard in church that this is what you do (though I
didn't have a deep understanding of it). I had
real troubles saying the words even though I was saying
a whole lot of other things well enough.
I truly
believe that God gave me that very intense thought to "plead
the blood of Jesus Christ". It was just
those words. It isn't a magic spell of using the
right words. It isn't something ritualistic like
that. It isn't ritual at all. That is where
most "religious" people miss it. They get into the
ritual and miss the spiritual substance and actual truth
of the Word of God. If you are not a Christian,
then it is doubly important that I "very quickly"
explain the power in having the blood of Jesus applied
to an attack like this.
When
Y'shua the Messias, or Jesus Christ went to the cross.
He was eternal Word or Logos of God... God made flesh.
He was both the Son of God and human... the Son of Man.
Unlike the rest of us who were born in sin (passed down
from the blood of our fathers), Jesus had no sin and
though He had an earthly mother, Mary... His father was
Yahweh.... God. He became flesh for one thing...
to stand in our place and take the judgment of sin...
DEATH upon Himself in our place on the cross. He
was innocent, but He took all of our guilt for all time
upon Himself and died for it, so we could be given life.
The
LIFE IS IN THE BLOOD, and Jesus' blood was
pure... sin demands blood or the lifeforce
that is in the blood. Jesus gave His blood... His
lifeforce in His blood in our place. When we
PLEAD THE BLOOD OF JESUS,
we are invoking the power of the blood of Jesus Christ
that breaks the authority of anything demonic or any
fallen angel up to and including Satan over our lives.
It has had some effect even with those who aren't born
again and use the name of Jesus when they were serious
in calling on Him. But to truly have the power of
God to cover you and set you free from the power and
authority of anything demonic, you need to actually have
that blood applied to you.
Invoking that blood of Jesus over
us BREAKS any demonic stronghold and power and
through the Holy Spirit, Jesus is there!
Even
though I didn't understand it all, I was saved.
And when I pleaded the blood of
Jesus Christ, the power of
God moved and ripped that thing off of me like
a rag doll. It was powerless before the
presence of God. We do not have the power in
ourselves to stop these spiritual entities, but God
does. And when we call on Jesus Christ (especially
if we are in covenant already with Jesus Christ), then
these enemies of God and man are stopped cold.
Many UFO
researchers have not been quick to share the testimonies
of people who have spoken of this because it makes alien
abductions look like the work of demons and fallen
angels instead of extraterrestrials from another planet.
Well, that is because there is a demonic nature to these
intruders. These "aliens" are more
extradimensionals rather than extraterrestrials.
Yes, technically, many of them are ET as in they are not
from Earth... some demons are, but generally what you
see in these cases are people being assaulted by
extradimensionals. Plus, if there is a "demonic"
nature to these things, and the invoking of Jesus' name
keeps them at bay, then they are lying to many about
their very nature. They want us to believe that
they are from another planet instead of another
dimensional realm.
Of
course, you can draw your own conclusions. I have
seen these entities put to flight many times since that
first time. I have seen people bound by this
kind of darkness set free by the power of Jesus Christ
when they chose to turn to God for help. Of
course, some will believe this and some will just decide
not to. But know this, this was my testimony and
what I have said is the truth. I have not added or
taken away from it.

SOME
SCRIPTURES TO GO WITH WHAT I HAVE SAID

Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and

and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound
in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth
shall be loosed in heaven. "

[the] supernatural working of Satan, in all power and
signs and wonders of deceit [fig., counterfeit
miracles], 10 and in all deception of the
unrighteousness among the ones perishing, because they
did not receive the love of the truth for them to be
saved. 11 And for this reason God will send to them a
supernatural working of deception, for them to believe
the lie, 12 so that they shall be judged, all the ones
not having believed the truth, _but_ the ones having
delighted in unrighteousness. "
Revelation 19:20 (KJV) " And the beast was taken, and
with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before
him, with which he deceived them that had received the

These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning
with brimstone. "
