Many who saw the name of my blog, “The Paranormal Christian” probably had a passing thought, “Isn’t that an oxymoron?” Well, only if you have erringly come to the belief that God has nothing to do with what is really out there. To make that error, opens you up to all kinds of nastiness that truly does exist, waiting to get access to you, entrap you, attach itself to you.
I came to accept Jesus Christ in 1982, after spending four years in a downward spiral of witchcraft leaning into Satanism. I was delivered up from this, and received a miracle healing by the grace and power of our Lord. I spent the next seven years battling demonic forces and those I was associated with in my practice of witchcraft, seeking to tear me down, or destroy me. I literally had to become a demonologist in order to fight and survive.
In 1989, I began my work as a Christian Demonologist, as well as, a Paranormal Investigator and Researcher. In my work since, I have come to understand through scriptures and personal experience that what people are out there “hunting” and seeking evidence of, proof that is human spirits or ghosts exists, and of the afterlife – DOES NOT EXIST. When we die, the scriptures are very clear we go on to our judgment, and we do immediately. We don’t hang around, we don’t try to finish the business of our previous life, and we don’t seek to bring closure to those we left behind.
Hebrews 9:26-28 (NASB)
26 Otherwise, He would have needed to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now once at the consummation of the ages He has been manifested to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. 27 And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment, 28 so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time for salvation without reference to sin, to those who eagerly await Him.
There is no waiting period from the time we die to when we receive Judgment.
For many of you, this is too incredulous to believe. Your mind wants to block the thought process that leads to understanding that truth. Think on this though; think on it long and hard. Why would God, the author of all things, allow a man like Adolf Hitler, Jeffery Dahlmer, or any other evil individual to haunt a location, a family, or roam the earth, rather than go directly to their judgment and begin their punishment?
For that matter, look at the converse of the situation. Why would He allow a child, an innocent, or a believer, to be held back on this earth, wandering, seeking some lost loved one, etc rather than bring them directly into Heaven for their reward and be in His presence? The answer is that He would not. So the question comes to bear – if what we are seeking proof of is not human ghosts, what are they?
Demons – plain and simple. The Bible speaks plainly of them; Jesus Christ dealt with them quite a bit in His ministry throughout the Gospels. He cast them out, warned us about them, instructed us how to armor ourselves against them, even how to do battle against them. If you believe in Jesus – then you must believe in Demons. Demons are here for one purpose; to remove us from the presence of God through any means possible.
Ephesians 6:10-20 NASB
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. 14 Stand firm therefore, HAVING GIRDED YOUR LOINS WITH TRUTH, and HAVING PUT ON THE BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, 15 and having shod YOUR FEET WITH THE PREPARATION OF THE GOSPEL OF PEACE; 16 in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 And take THE HELMET OF SALVATION, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18 With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints, 19 and pray on my behalf, that utterance may be given to me in the opening of my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in proclaiming it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
Demons are fallen angels, here long before we were. They know every detail of every life that has ever lived on this planet. They can present themselves in any form, even beings of light. They are able to deceive our senses, even our spirits, which is why we need to be strong in faith and trust in the Lord, and have the Holy Spirit working within us, so that we can truly discern what we are dealing with. Because they can mimic any human being, this means they can deceive us into believing we are contacting our loved ones past or others that have died.
However, should we be seeking them out, even in the name of scientific inquiry. Perhaps God could was giving us warning for times like this, in an age where the Paranormal has increasingly caught our attention.
Deuteronomy 18:10-12 (NASB)
10 There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who practices witchcraft, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, 11 or one who casts a spell, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. 12 For whoever does these things is detestable to the LORD; and because of these detestable things the LORD your God will drive them out before you.
Doing such things opens us up to be drawn in by the demonic, to gain attachments of demons, to be led down a bad path to destruction.
