The term "haunted
house" is a misnomer. Houses can be occupied by corporal creations or by
supernatural creatures that are
mentioned in the Holy Scriptures.
The reason I bring this up
is, I am currently visiting/staying at a house where my husband and I both had
a visit from a supernatural creature a couple of years ago. We did not summon
it (that's forbidden in the Bible) and we certainly were not expecting it. My
husband had never experienced the supernatural in such a hands on way before,
so this was a surprise.
We were in bed, but plenty of
light leaked in under the door from the next room. We had just turned in and
ended a conversation when something unseen ran across the covers, and over our
bodies. It had weight, it physically made depressions, and stepping sounds, and
we felt it through the comforter as it moved across the bed.
The first words out of my
husband's mouth were, "Did you see that?"
We weren't scared because we
know beyond 100% that the supernatural exists. We also know God is control and
we have His protection.
At the time someone whom we
assumed practiced witchcraft (because of the various spell books and
paraphernalia related to witchcraft that we saw around the house) was currently
living in the home, too. We assumed they had intentionally or unintentionally
invited “it” in through their practices.
We said a prayer asking the
entity to leave in Jesus’ name and peacefully went to sleep.
Now we’re back and have been
here for almost ten days. The person who owned the spell books no longer lives
here, and all the witchcraft items have been removed. We’ve had no visits from
supernatural creatures, and I don’t expect any either. Why?
Because of my faith, and my
husband’s and because any entity would be told to leave in Jesus’ name.
Now is the house haunted? No.
It had a supernatural occupant that was told to leave under God‘s authority
(not mine), which it did.
The problem with all these
haunting shows on TV is they should be just as boring as the true life incident
I related above. The creature engages you, then you command it to leave
permanently in Jesus’ name.
But the truth is—paranormal
seekers really don’t want these entities to leave. No, they want them to
stay—and interact, even in cases where you can see the human being possessed.
They treat it like it is a game, and talk excitedly about returning to interact
again.
The Holy Scriptures warn
about these interactions because they can lead to these evil creatures
attaching, possessing, or tormenting their human hosts.
Just like a house can be
occupied, so can a person or the area around them.
Keep your guard up, and call
in someone who will truly drive them away. Fifteen minutes of fame is truly not
worth the price you may have to pay for encouraging demonic manifestations to
interact with you.
