Has the devil ever tried to recruit you?

Has anybody ever had an experience with the devil trying to recruit you? I remember being a young child around 5,and having a very high fever.It was one of the really high fevers you get as a kid which makes you very weak .During this time,the devil appeared in my mind and told me if i wanted to become a part of his team,he would make the sickness go away.I only remember saying no,holding on to the bed really hard.The devil made a few attempts at telling me i can have everything in life i want if i come to him.This entire session only seemed to last about a minute or so.It was very real and i still remember it vividly until this day.

May I ask, as you seem certain enough, how did you know it was the devil?



Peace

I think that this is always the case whether it be figuratively or literally depending on your perception of such things.

Oh yeah . . . and . . . Happy New Year!

No he didn't try to recruit me. Once he brought up the benefits package and the comprehensive dental/health plan I was in.

I saw a form of a being.But it was the feeling that i got that i knew right away what i was dealing with.This devil made it clear through the process who he was.There was no guees work here.The whole event was short ,maybe a little over a minute.It was like so much pressure being put on me to accept this deal.I knew i couldnt give in to this force,or my whole existence would be corrupted.

happy new year everybody,hope its a good one!

No, he has not tried to recruit me.
If he would tried to recruit me, he only need to present himself to me and tell me what he really want me to do, present to me a healthcare plan full coverage, a list of special powers I can choose from. I will surely join his side. Why ? because in this day and age, FAITH alone cannot get you anywhere.

I'm pleased to say I've never met him. And if I did without knowing it, I must have blown him off due to disinterest or something.

He doesn't seem to have pursued me. Maybe due to disinterest or something. lol.

No, because he's afraid I'd take over!
Oh and it;s ok to breathe now, devil, I'm going to sleep
ok but really no and I constantly tried to sell my soul to him to be a famous pop star but he refused to take me up on the offer, hell maybe he already owned my soul?

When I first read the thread title, I thought it said "Have evil deer ever tried to recruit you?" I thought, good lord, ATS has slipped, but I didn't think this much. I'm glad I was wrong.

And no, the Devil has never tried to recruit me. At least not that I know of, anyways. You never know, though, I've got a few family members that could pass for a human form or two he might have.

I really don't believe the Devil goes around offering people things to sell them their soul, I've seen a lot of people on TV talk about their experiences when they were in the hospital and such and it happened to them.
It's just a little far fetched though, either way... If it DID happen to me, you bet I'd take the deal.

The closest I have ever come to making a deal with the devil is being offered a rather well paid IT job with a South African diamond mining companies head office in London that had a rather dubious safety / employee rights record, I refused the job after getting down to the final two at interview and doing a little research into the company .

I would have been a lot better off financially by now if I had taken it.
