Update on The Paranormal Christian Show

By Pastor Michael Frisbee

On a more positive note, some news regarding The Paranormal Christian Show. There has only been two shows so far at the new home, BTVN TV, and already, had over 268,000 hits on the show page, of the over 2 million total the network received through the whole month, and our hits only account for 17 days. With the first show, March 17th, had 1546 hits with 87% retention rate, coming to 1345 total viewers. On last week’s show, even with server and network issues, had 8009 hits with an average 76% retention, coming to 6086 total viewers. The switch to the new video format has definitely made a huge difference in the outreach of our ministry.

Discussion has begun regarding the creation of a subsidiary network dedicated to Christian programming, of which I will help in developing and recruiting for. It will allow me to further impact people and bring the Truth of God’s Word in a format and media that is exploding.

A Memoriam - Andrew Wordes

By Pastor Michael Frisbee

This week has been an incredibly difficult one for me.

This past Monday, a dear friend of mine, whom had been in a four year battle with his local city council, ended his life. The city council had maneuvered and backed him into a corner, with nowhere to turn or escape, and he perceived he only had two choices; allow them to take everything he loved and owned and see it become just another park for their 2036 plan, or end his life and take out as much as he could when he did. He went with the latter.

His lawyer was at the District courthouse in Atlanta, trying desperately to see a judge to secure an injunction against the city and the man that bought my friend’s mortgage in order to force him out of his 12 year home thus buying some time to prove the city and associates maliciously used various loop holes and purposely refused to assist in getting my friend FEMA help when he distinctly qualified after his home had been flooded 4 times in 3 years, because the city refused to fix the water drainage issues from over building. The city and Marshall’s service moved fast Monday morning to physically remove my friend before his lawyer could get the injunction.

He refused to leave his barricaded home, argued with them for two hours to buy time for his lawyer, but they were preparing to come in with force. So he told them to get off his property or he was going to start firing on them (it was known he had a large cache of legally owned and registered firearms and pistols). They backed off, and at 12:44 pm, as soon as the last man cleared the property at a safe distance, the house exploded. He had poured gasoline throughout the house, and at that moment – lit it. His body was later found in the home, and identified.

I met Andrew in 2009, when I started my campaign for Congress on a Constitutionist platform. Though he was not in my Congressional District, he supported what I stood for as a patriot, and helped me with man power, finances, and the occasional loan of his antique Mercedes Benz for Congressional events. We would talk long and often by phone and online about where this country is heading, what needs to be done to turn it around, etc.

He had a great love for animals as well, and simple living. It was his animals that led to his legal fight with the city council. When the city annexed his neighborhood from the county, he and his animals were grandfathered in. However, someone related to a member of the city council moved in next door, and thus began the constant complaints over his chickens. They tried to fine him, he fought it, and won. Then they tried to use all kinds of regulations and such that were rather obscure, and each time, he defeated them in court. His last battle on that issue came when they passed a new law restricting barn yard animals. They tried using it against him – and the judge laughed them out of the court.

Where they got him, was after 3 years of begging them to fix the drainage issues in that area, and having his home flooded a few times, he finally graded his land one storm fall, to keep the flood waters out, and they charged him with illegal grading of his own property. He was older and of ill health, unable to meet the requirements of community service, and thus – the city moved to have his probation revoked, and he did 99 days in jail. While in jail, they put a lot of pressure and threats to the elderly woman that held the mortgage he was paying on, and she sold it to a third party associated with members of the city council. The new mortgage owner, when Andrew was unable to pay his mortgage because he was in jail, immediately began foreclosure proceedings.

He was fighting that foreclosure, and in the fourth month of that battle when tragedy struck this past Monday. I hold the city and all of the associates that were a part of persecuting this man, my friend accountable for his death. They drove him to such a desperate act. Today, at 10:30 am EST, I and well over 200 expected friends, family and associates will lay him to rest. You would not think such a persecution was possible in America. Wake up people – the tyranny is here.

But Against Principalities, Against Powers

By Pastor Michael Frisbee

DEMONOLOGIST. The word conjures up all kinds of dark images and misunderstood themes. The fact it starts out with the word DEMON seems to bring that foreboding due to a couple millennia of humanity’s mythology and subconscious training to fear them.

I have been a practicing Demonologist for twenty-two years now. I started almost seven years to the day after I was delivered up from black witchcraft and gave myself to Christ. In those seven years, I battled my former coven, defending myself from their spiritual attacks and attempts to curse me, as well as, an occasional conjured demon to do their work. I was introduced to spiritual warfare, demonic exorcism, and began to study religious texts of different cultures to know the mannerisms, methods of infestation and possession, and the tools to fight them.

I also learned that not everything we experience is a demon, and found a place within paranormal research and investigations to discern and discover the truth. One of my key working phrases I use for investigations is “Eliminate the Normal, Everything Else is Paranormal”. People can be misled, confused, even self-deceived about what they experience, which I think the proliferation of “haunts” recently is due to the popularity of dozens of paranormal investigation shows such as “Ghost Hunters”, “Ghost Adventures”, “Ghost Lab” and things like “Celebrity Ghost Stories”. This is why it is critical we go into a house more skeptic and doubter, seeking out natural and normal causes for what people are experiencing. Once all that is stripped away – that’s what we seek to document to show proof of the paranormal. Over the past twenty-two years I have been demonologist, spiritual warrior, paranormal researcher and investigator, spiritual counselor, and pastor. However, first and foremost – I am a servant of God and in that – a demonologist.

There are no “true” schools of higher learning to become a demonologist. Demonology is a study of demons. Only the Vatican has a program of training for their priests regarding demons and exorcism, but that is not open to non-Catholics or non-believers. I’m going to make a lot of people mad out there, but I have experience and truth on my side in this – you do not need to be “certified” or “licensed” to be a demonologist. People claiming to be running schools in it to certify you are scamming you. They are in it for the profit.

Being a Demonologist is not a calling. It is a field of study and people get it confused with being an Exorcist. However taking it to the next step and being a deliverance minister is a calling from God, our Heavenly Father, one that is usually accompanied by the gift of Discernment anointed upon you by the Holy Spirit. A deliverance minister cannot be an atheist, a Gnostic, a wiccan, or anything else but a born-again believer and Christian, one who has accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior. We as human beings are flawed and weak, fractured creatures whose wills can be easily bent by the demonic. Earth is THEIR domain, given that authority by God. Lucifer caused a third of the Angels to war against God and Heaven. The Archangel Michael, the only equal to Lucifer, led the Heavenly forces and defeated Lucifer. He was cast from Heaven and given domain and authority on earth.

However, when Christ gave fulfillment of the Law, was crucified as the Prophets foretold, died and after three days, rose again renewed and resurrected, He defeated once again Satan, freeing us of the blood sin, by washing our sin with His blood. In his glory and conquering of Satan, He now had Authority over Satan. We as humans and followers of Christ, can call upon Christ’s authority to cast out and command demons who interfere with our work and path here, especially when it interferes with God’s Will for us. Only be calling upon the Authority of Christ and the anointing with His Blood, can we do this work. So – how can someone who does not believe in God, Satan, Angels, or Demons – rightfully and believably fight demons where they infest and possess? They cannot.

A demonologist must spend his/her time cataloging and studying demons, studying, comprehending, and referencing religious texts and their references of the demonic, study demonic mythology of various cultures. One part of the gift of discernment is to be able to identify true demonic presence and signs. Regardless of Hollywood – you DO NOT need to know the name of the demon present, it DOES NOT give you any additional power over it – you have none – only Christ does. You also need to be able to discern false doctrines and references as well. I’m going to anger a bunch more people here. The Book of Enoch and the Lower Keys of Solomon are not true and accurate books of demonology. The Book of Enoch is a hoax, a forgery, it was not used in the time of Aaron, it did not predate any Catholic Bible. It is an occult deceit and forgery to lead those fighting demons along a false trail. The same is true of the Lower Keys of Solomon, it was devised from a 18th Century French Grimoire that listed 69 demons and assigned European titles to them. These titles did not exist in King Solomon’s time. The Lower Keys added 3 more demons to the list. Allegedly, the book claims Solomon was a great wizard and used demons to do his bidding. It is an attempt by the Occult to strip Christians and confuse them of the truth, that King Solomon was a great servant of the Lord, wise, but flawed. He still did great works, and created the Songs of Solomon.

However knowledge will only get you so far. You must engage and help people afflicted by a demonic infestation or possession. You don’t do it for accolades or glory. You do it to help heal, to bring peace of mind, and help people back on the right path, all for the glory of God.

If you would like help, I can consult with you and your group. I do so free of charge. I am currently based out of the Atlanta, Georgia area. I am offering my services and experience to all paranormal groups, so that the Truth can be found out there, and these groups can be protected. I do not charge for this. I can be reached through my website at http://www.ArchangelParanormal.com.

I am also seeking fellow Christians that are involved in the paranormal investigative field, with emphasis in deliverance. I launched the Spiritual Warriors Network a few months ago, and it is a growing network of born again Christians that serve as deliverance clergy, demonologists, prayer warriors, and investigative teams. Our goal is to help spread God’s Truth and assist fellow Christians oppressed by the demonic who have been turned away by their local churches and clergy.

Teenage Exorcists & Bob Larson

By Pastor Michael Frisbee

This past Wednesday, I took a heavy dose of anti-nausea medicine and turned to the Anderson Cooper show. I loathe what the man stands for, so normally I would not normally tune in. But I had been given fore-warning that he had a special topic and guests that day.

In this case, AC had renowned self-titled exorcist, Pastor Bob Larson, and three young women. One I know assuredly was his daughter or grand-daughter. All three teen age girls, ages 15 to 17, claimed to be exorcists and being trained by Pastor Larson. Needless to say, AC was skeptical, and having researched past coverage that AC has done on Christianity, I knew there was going to be an attempt to at least try to have his audience come away with the idea, “Oh those kooky Christians.”

I’ve known of Pastor Larson for a long time. I have read his book, and find his beliefs and practices somewhat questionable in regards to scriptural support. I don’t exactly agree in the way he evangelizes and how he determines whether a person is truly demon possessed. In Pastor Larson’s eyes, pretty much everyone but him and those that are with him are possessed. Go to his website, http://www.boblarson.org, and for $9.95 there is a test you can take to see if you are possessed as well.

As these girls were being interviewed, they came off as very “scripted” and well – brainwashed. I have seen videos of cult members that were being interviewed and their affect and such were very similar. It also came out that at 13, the one girl was given a chance by Larson, while in Africa, to exorcise a demon. At AGE 13! How in the name of our Heavenly Father, can a young, impressionable girl have the mental, emotional, and spiritual maturity to do this? Granted, Larson was right there, but how does any right minded individual put a young girl like that into such a danger?

During the course of the show, AC brought to light several of Larson’s questionable practices regarding how he charges for his services. Included is the Pastor’s Exorcists Training School. I have seen the $249 charge that was discussed in the show, but when I went to check the site later, the price had been removed. However, the “Cross” that he offers for a $100 donation was still there. One of the “testimonials”, was that when a man placed the cross on his wife, blessed by Larson, she was instantly healed.

Then things got interesting. They brought out a woman who had been exorcised by these girls. As the story played out, she had been exorcised by others before as well, “but it didn’t take”. What wasn’t discussed was whether this woman after her original “exorcism” had repented of her past sins and such that led to her possibly being possessed, and whether she had actually accepted Jesus Christ as her Savior. The only way someone can truly be delivered up from the enemy, is to accept Christ, repent of your sins, ask for forgiveness, and be washed in the blood of Christ to be made righteous. Once Christ and the Holy Spirit reside within you, you cannot be possessed by the demonic. However, as a Christian, you can be OPPRESSED by the demonic, something wholly different.

After this young lady came a woman and her minister father who was there to expose the non-scriptural teachings that Bob Larson ascribes to. They had been abused and victimized by a different ministry, but the same signs and such were on display within Larson’s teachings. They also took him to task regarding training and using these teen age girls. During this, it came out that a reality show based on the three girls was in consideration. Larson claims the production company came to them, but in doing a search around the web, there is signs that it may been more Larson approaching these networks.

Then comes Rev Darrell Motal, pastor and founder of the Caravan Community Churches, founder of The Paranormal Church, and someone that has been working in a ministry to help people that have been victimized by unethical and abusive deliverance ministries and exorcists like Larson. Rev Motal has done a number of undercover video and audio work looking into how Larson fleeces those that attend his seminars. He tells of how before one demon had even been cast out, Larson had 5 calls for the donation basket to go around, to buy his books, DVDs, etc. Larson got very irritable and angry, called Motal a liar. However, if you will go to this website - http://theparanormalchurch.ning.com/ - you can watch some of these videos. Motal’s Youtube site is here - http://www.youtube.com/user/TheParanormalChurch . Unfortunately, they did not give Rev Motal enough time to fully discuss all that Larson is doing wrong in this field and how dangerous Larson’s ministry is for those who are Christian and those who are not. You can listen to Motal’s backstage comments at the site.

Finally they wrapped up with a priest that directly addressed the girls and of course by this time, Larson was visibly angry at being challenged. The girls just were not believable, and by the end of all this, you have to question whether this was really about them doing this for the glory of God, or as a stunt to get their own TV show.

Deliverance ministry is a dangerous work. However, we are not powerless as Christians. Christ gave us the authority to carry on His works, and this includes the casting out of demons. (Mark 16:16-18) When called to do this, the Holy Spirit will anoint us with the gift of discernment. (1 Corinthians 12:10-11). As Christians, we have the ability to call upon the authority and blood of Christ to command and cast out the demonic. They must obey. However, we must be walking fully in faith and love of Jesus Christ and our Heavenly Father. We must be walking fully in His Word and Spirit. The person that is seeking freedom from the demonic MUST bring themselves to Christ, and begin living their lives in Him, otherwise, the demonic will not depart in fullness, and if it finds an empty vessel, will return with seven more even worse.

Now, many question whether we should even be applying scriptures to anything at all in regards to ghost hunting and paranormal investigations, that these are scientific realms, not spiritual. Well, I beg to differ. If you seek out the spiritual, it is a spiritual matter. It is a theological issue. There are matters as stake that have eternal consequences.
