Another So-called Paranormal Team Out for Fame

By Chris Baricko

This blog is the most absurd one I have heard of yet.

There is a group call New England Spiritual team trying to raise $50.000 so they can land a TV show. But wait that's not the best part.

"Click here to support Bringing Paranormal Believer to TV by Michael Carroll" [link doesn't work]

'Paranormal Believer' is the brainchild of Michael Carroll & Elisabeth Pfeifer, founders

The founder Michael won 2 million in lotto just over a year ago. So the big question is where is all the money he won? I heard he did help people and donate some that is great and hats off. But to openly ask people to donate money for their own personal gain is a outrage.

Why would anyone with common sense donate anything to a person who had 2 million just over a year ago even after he helped people?

He they did not put any away for savings why ask others to foot the bill?

Donating to that would be like asking a buzzard to guard a gut factory pointless and foolish.

When I asked him about it here is the reply I got:

Really Chris? Really? I have never met you and only heard bad things about you. BUT, yet you post here talking as if you know everything about me and my group. Did I post to you bashing you with the solid evidence of misdeeds you've committed against other locations, in the desperate bid to get yourself on TV? No! I took the high road and left well enough alone. Buying my way onto TV? Hell, I won $2 million. If I wanted to buy my way on, I could have. Except, I did the RIGHT thing and donated to others and helped others. And as for not knowing me, I'm damn glad of it. Just cause you never heard of me and my group, doesn't mean that we weren't putting in the work. We have been public since 2009 and worked with many 'higher' people in the field on cases of our own, including Thomas D'Agostino and Arlene Nicholson, Jeff Bartley, Eric Perry, Joe Andrade, Leo Ryokan, Andrea Perron and her father, CC Carole, Sandra Selesky Bartlett, Keith Johnson, Carl Johnson, and many many more. We have done numerous cases around he Eastern seaboard and in parts of the South. NEVER have we pitched to TV or claimed to be famous. As for selling the ambulance, how about you don't worry about anything that doesn't pertain to you. What we do with our money is our business. You don't like it? Tough. You don't approve? I don't need your damn input nor appreciate it. I've heard horror stories about you and am not here to appease you. YOU, my good sir, need to stop bashing people to put your own name in lights.

Guess the truth hurts so I will point out a few things no local groups heard of them till they were on counting cars. He said they only been in public since 2009. He states what we he does with the money is his business this would be true if he did not start a go fund me page asking the public to support him.

And he stated he heard bad things about hey we all have people who line or dislike us.

Wanting my name in lights I can't sing or dance so Broadway is out of the question so there goes that theory he had. I don't bash people I call out ones who try to mislead people I to donating money for their personal gain. He paid over $70.000 to get the ambulance restored. Now if he was planning on a show how about just getting a normal car. But nope they wanted to stand out and get noticed.

I mean really would most clients want to have a fancy all done up ambulance parked out front of their location? Not many I know of unless a event.

And after myself and others posted comments we got blocked so they want your money but not opinions.

This is the 2nd group this year trying to get money. anyone person or group who supports this type of activity should pack their bags and go home.

Let the groups out there that raise money for great causes do it for the right reason helping people not themselves.

Even the Devil Dislikes Buell?

The more we uncover of the entire Buell fiasco, the more intriguingly evil it appears.  While some may think they are merely fans of the once popular star and hang onto the spiritual messages they saw on TV, there is a much more sinister side they are unaware of.  People seem to get stuck on Buell’s illness.  I believe they probably should pay more attention to his spiritual welfare instead.  At this point, he would appear more of a prince of darkness then any deliverer of evil and I’m not even mildly kidding.  He even joked with a cartoon on his site after announcements of being sued and the cartoon was a depiction of a devil in court saying, “You can’t sue the devil.”  The article attached was really unrelated to the paranormal and seemed to have little to do with anything being said, accept, the real issue at hand.  A rather not so coy move and tell tale in mine and other’s eyes viewing this.

Let’s look at some truths here that are evident, like; Buell’s claim of being attacked by a demon and even giving the name. At one time, he claimed the cancer has possibly a cause of this demonic attack.  Why then have public séances and charge money for them and introduce others into it?  He appears to most to be Catholic.  (Although reportedly on his past MySpace page he said he was Wiccan.)  Isn’t he subjecting people to this demonic attack if it really happened with a séance?  Isn’t he selling the thrill with out any responsibility once so ever?  What of his own ability to call forth this demon again?  If it were real, what does this mean?  If he lied, what is he really doing?  What is the truth to his religion?  Is it one of convenience to state to the public?  Do these priests know he’s holding public per pay séances?

Either way you look at it, there is a lie and told in great proportions.  One can not just ignore it because he’s famous and loved by fans.  Regardless of what religion you are, one can not escape the logical conclusion if one believed they were the subject of demonic attacks that possibly affected one’s health, why in the heck would they risk another run in with the demonic by doing public séances?

Would you be surprised to find out that someone who he claimed was a close friend, a person who was on his show and whom he billed along with him in events was an occultist and had her own cult?  Not only does she not have the same supposed Catholic view point of the show, but, criticizes PRS and the existence of demons here in a link below.  Listen carefully as Michelle Belanger justifies and explains dark magic paths and even seems to try to legitimize them.  Does this suggest someone who would believe her friend and show host that he was demonically attacked by a demon on several occasions?

http://thedemoniacal.blogspot.com/2011/09/michelle-belanger-demons-evil-dark.html

Below is a blog that I am including from “Who Forted?” that has long blogged criticisms and falsehoods of the paranormal as far back as the start of the Ghost Hunter’s show.  Read this article to get a closer idea of who was involved with Buell even more recently.  It should open some eyes.

http://whofortedblog.com/2010/11/17/michelle-belanger-vumpyre/

Now, I do not criticize different religions.  But, if your going to take a Christian and especially claim to be Catholic position for a show and consistently use that as a premise as part of your truth, then the mere having someone of Bellanger’s  background and having séances should raise some very deep seated questions as to what Buell is doing and the truthfulness to the show.

Now, what some do not realize is the affect on the outside of their little closed organization that solicits dues and puts out surveys asking for donations is that these people are infiltrated all around the field. I have found the members who diligently defend Buell on his page are also in Catholic groups that investigate fake exorcists and demonologist even.   The fact someone consistently goes to his page and defends a crook with a handful of others and puts down those just asking about the events they paid for is just as much as part of PRS as any standing member and I for one believe them to be among the members of it.

I’ve gotten information on intimidation tactics used by PRS.  I’ve had people back out of interviews being intimidated and even for trying to help ticket holders get their money back.  There are people threatening people and warning them not to have anything to do with me.  One such person, named Jodi Focht, threatened us and attempted to gain information from a former co-host of mine in an effort to turn us into an organization named Anonymous, an online internet hacking activist group.  It is unclear whether the threat was real or not.  Jodi is one person who claims she is not part of PRS, but, consistently argues in defense of Buell to a fault.  The threat she made to us on Anonymous was in defense of Buell.

Now, some people join in on the attacks on us claiming to be our victim.  These people from Buell’s camp always seem to be in the mix of antagonist when this happens.  The very nature of what the Paranormal Community has become, allows for those who may have an ax to grind with us to freely seek out like minds and join in some attack against us or another person or group.  One such person against us recently was an ex-co-host of my radio show, which decided to have a radio show blasting me and my friends and those associated with my show.  A guy, who decided to join in on the attack by the name of Tim Roxbury, appeared to act like our victim.  Keep in mind that the ex-co-host was the co-host of the show he had been on and he and had actually left the show in good standing.  Why he decided to help this ex-co-host and then to join in on the bashing of so many people and play the victim of us is beyond me.

The Paranormal Community is changing.  If people decide they need to protect Buell or other’s out there that we are exposing, like sex offenders, criminals, people who could be dangerous or people who are not who they say they are, then those people standing up and sticking up for them are going to be affected.  We are drawing lines here.  No longer can people stand behind people who are immoral, dangerous, despicable and do not belong in the field without it affecting their own interest and themselves.  This includes famous people who have shows where they fake things or rip people off, such as Buell.

One message to people in the Paranormal Community I have; pick your sides carefully.  If you look to be backing someone who is someone we are exposing and do not distance yourself, you will look immoral and it WILL AFFECT YOU.  I and the many other’s who are our audience, our readers and friends are not going to stand by and allow one after the other bad person be covered up over and over by intimidation techniques and harassment.  If you take part in this to protect someone like this, we will expose your effort of doing so.  Choose your side carefully.  Believe me, people are hearing our message.

Explanation of Demons...Not Ghosts

When you die, you will meet God...

Hebrews 9:27

So the question that gets asked to the Exorcism Ministry is “Do Ghosts truly exist or is this something else?” During these blogs we hope to help you discover the “Biblical Truth” of what the Holy Bible states regarding the phenomena.  This will be a multi-part format that we will be discussing.

Part 1 – What is the Bible stance on existence of what paranormal teams call “Ghosts”? In order to put into perspective this term of Ghosts, we need to establish common ground.  This can found in Hebrews from the Bible.  The writer of the book of Hebrews as some scholars think was the Apostle Paul, as just one whom possibly put “pen to paper” for this book.  The bible verse that Paul instructs those believers in God and those non-believers is “Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment,” Hebrews 9:27 (NIV)

This bible verse is very powerful, which places the foundation to nullify the ability to linger around, not wanting to move into the light or to crossover to be at rest.  These are words which we have all heard in the paranormal community.  This verse should be the foundation in which all paranormal teams use as a basis, but unfortunately very few will.

The reason this bible verse should be a foundation for all paranormal teams to embrace, is because many people in the paranormal world I have encountered do believe in a higher power.  Further adding a majority of these people acknowledge that this higher power has a name they have heard at one point in time or another – GOD.

This higher power is an all knowing, all judging and by definition the Alpha and the Omega (the beginning and the end).  Due to that significance of power held, how therefore can one person withstand the ability to linger around against a higher power in a spiritual form?  A majority of the people in this world do believe that something does happen to us when we die.  A common belief is that we leave our body to be in a spirit form. Now, this is not to get into every single aspect of both religion and the beliefs, but to just lay foundation of the point of a higher power.

Now, let’s examine another Bible verse which nullifies what paranormal people classify as Ghosts. This additional ground floor can be located in another book named Ecclesiastes.  This book is penned by Solomon, the son of King David, from the Holy Bible.  In Ecclesiastes 9: 5 & 6 and 10 we learn about the finality of death and the revelation that God had passed onto Solomon.  Verses 5 & 6 state the following, “For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing, they have no further reward, and even their name is forgotten. Their love, their hate and their jealousy have long since vanished; never again will they have a part in anything that happens under the sun.” (NIV)

To further add more validation to nullification of Ghosts, Solomon pens the words in Ecclesiastes 9:10 “Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom.” (NIV)

The bible verses 5 & 6 of Chapter 9 in Ecclesiastes clearly instruct the future readers that once we die any actions of a person once living lingering around or the desire to linger around for any “unfinished business” as a spirit form is nullified.  As a once living being you will no longer take part or have a hand in, ANY business under the life we now are in. Verse 10 from the same book and chapter adds that whatever you should do, do it now while you are alive (meaning righteous works), because once you pass (i.e. die) you cannot go back and further adds that we as humans face judgment of a higher power to another realm (I.e. Heaven or Hell).

Now, the foundational work has been laid to view the paranormal realm properly.  Therefore, nullifying “Ghosts” and lingering around for any unfinished business cannot exist.  So then if “Ghosts” do not exist based on these key biblical verses (and many others exist – Job 14: 10-12, Luke 24: 37-39, etc…), then what is it that paranormal people curious in the proof of afterlife are encountering? Answer: FALLEN ANGELS also known as DEMONS.

Many people will feel different to this point of view because of the personal experiences that these people have felt.  They feel that a loved one has truly come back to visit them.  The unmistakable feelings of the warmth and love that they felt being around that “presence” which came forward to see them.  The person may have even had the pleasure of certain smells that a former living one once had (I.e. Cologne or Perfume).

However, what they were experiencing is not what they thought to be.  Here’s why, according to the holy bible, Jeremiah 1:5 "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations." The higher power God calls us all to be a prophet to every nation, and God is all-knowing, the Alpha and the Omega.

When the Great War in Heaven took place, Lucifer (meaning shining one, morning star) was the most beautiful angel created by God.  Lucifer was given a lot of knowledge by God of his plans to create a race of beings to love and to worship God.  Angels were created to serve God, but Humans were created to love God or not, which is were free will comes in (another subject for another time).  Lucifer became very angry with this plan as Lucifer felt as an angelic being he and other angels were above Humans.

Due to the actions of Lucifer and those who followed Lucifer, they were expelled and as the bible states a third of the “heavenly angels” of glory were cast down to be away from the glory of God forever.  Since this action was created, Lucifer and those cast with him have a “pure hatred” for man (referring to woman and child too). Therefore, the Fallen Angels also know everything about you (referring to all mankind), before you were formed in your mother’s womb as related scripture that God inspired Jeremiah to pen.

Therefore Lucifer and the unholy realm of Fallen Angels started to tempt man and create deception from the beginning of Adam and Eve.  The Fallen Angels know mankind very well, and they have a customized plan for everyone on this planet.  Why? Unfortunately they too knew you before you were formed in your mother’s womb much like God and their hatred against God is for what he loves.

In the next part of this entry we will discuss how these Fallen Angels come against us, so until then God’s Blessings.

Reaching the Same Goal from Different Paths - Thai Buddhists in Dialogue with His Holiness the Dalai Lama

New Delhi, India, 15th December 2012 - A significant and inspiring event took place today in New Delhi, capital of India the country where Buddhism originated 2600 years ago, when a group of Thai elders among nearly 50 monks and scholars met to engage in an inter-Buddhist dialogue with His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Discussants from the Thai side included Phrarajnyanakavi, Phra Dr Anil Sakya, Phra Paisal Visalo, Dr Seksan Presertkul, Dr Krissanapong Kirtikara and Dr Veerathai Santiprabhob, while His Holiness was accompanied by Prof Samdhong Rinpoche, Geshe Ngawang Samten, Geshe Lhakdor and Geshe Dorji Damdul. Nearly 300 lay Buddhists from Thailand listened rapt to their deliberations.

Words of welcome and respect were pronounced by a lady representative of the Buddhadasa Indapanno Archive that was influential in organizing the occasion. She mentioned His Holiness’s having been a spiritual friend to two Thai Elders and expressed the wish that relations between the Thai and Tibetan traditions should continue to flourish. She said the purpose of the dialogue was to strengthen faith in the Dharma; reinforce relations between Thais and Tibetans and to promote other beneficial activities.

A short film clip showing His Holiness’s second visit to Thailand in 1972 was shown, following which a message from the Thai Sangharaja, who is 100 years old, was read. He pointed out that this meeting was very much in accordance with tradition from the time of the Buddha. He noted that the Buddha was remarkably open-minded and ready to listen to others, only offering his own views when invited to do so. While Buddhism has taken on different forms in different places, these differences should not be thought of as grounds for unthinking discrimination, but should encourage us to come together in dialogue to eliminate misunderstanding.

His Holiness began his address with customary words of greeting:
“Respected Bhikkshus, Buddhist brothers and sisters, welcome. I am very happy to see this large gathering of Thai Buddhists, including many monks. Since my first visit to Thailand in 1967, I have been impressed by the strength of Buddhism in your country. I recall that in my conversations with the Sangharaja at that time I asked what he thought of the fact that while Christian monks and nuns engage in widespread social work, we Buddhists tend not to do so. His reply was that it was the rule for Buddhist monks to remain in their monastery to study and cultivate shamatha.”

His Holiness’s voice was a little hoarse, partly the result of his having a cold, but also because he has just come from giving long teachings to some 20,000 monks in South India, during which he spoke for altogether sixty hours over the last two weeks.

Noting that like all other composite phenomena, Buddhism is impermanent and will disappear, His Holiness said it has survived for 2600 years due to the support of its followers, mostly monks. Now in the twenty-first century, even in countries with no previous tradition of Buddhism, interest is growing among ordinary people and scientists. He said that what he thinks of as the Pali tradition, to which Thai Buddhism largely belongs, is the very foundation of all Buddhist traditions. The ethics and discipline described in the Vinaya are the foundation for training both in concentration (shamatha) and insight (vipassana). He clarified that with the help of concentration our mind has the ability to remain still and by applying analysis we achieve understanding.

“However,” he said, “we must remember the rest of humanity. If we can create a more peaceful world, everyone benefits. And to achieve this I think we need to take a more secular, rather than a religious, approach to fostering ethics. Karuna or compassion really brings about inner peace and inner strength. Those who practise compassion become calmer and less subject to fear.”

He backed this up by reporting that scientists have also found that when you have compassion, your physical as well as your mental health improves.

When it came to questions and answers, His Holiness had some questions of his own. He wanted to know if there was any tradition of Bhikkshuni ordination - full ordination of nuns - in the Thai tradition, bearing in mind that we know such a tradition existed during the life of the Buddha. He also wanted to know about the apparent ordination of trees and it was made clear that this was a case of protecting trees by wrapping them in the monastic robes that command universal respect in Thailand.

Asked about Buddhist practice for lay people, His Holiness said that evidently the Buddha considered lay people and monastics have an equal opportunity and it is equally possible for them to achieve liberation and enlightenment. However, monastics, with no family responsibilities only have themselves to look after and so have more time to practise. To another question about a Tibetan reference to the inseparability of samsara and nirvana, His Holiness laughed and said if we were to take this at face value, we’d have to wonder why the Buddha gave up his royal life and engaged in austerities and meditation for six years. Clarifying what happiness is he drew a distinction between short-lived sensory satisfaction like listening to music or enjoying delicious food and the more durable joy derived from mental happiness. This is an area that needs further exploration he said, remarking that English and other Western languages lack the vocabulary to discuss these matters adequately.

After lunch, speaking about “Solutions to World Problems” His Holiness referred to the violence and bloodshed that mark the twentieth century during which some historians say 200 million people died violently. He said,

“We need to find a new approach to creating a better world. We have major problems to deal with: climate change, population increase, the gap between rich and poor, and corruption. People voice anxiety about an ancient Maya prediction of the imminent end of the world, but unless we address corruption, which is like a cancer, we will face disaster. Religion is important, but has failed to check it. Democracy, the rule of law and freedom of the press should be able to put a stop to corruption, but they have failed to do so too. Even in China where these qualities are absent and all power is centralized, corruption remains rampant. The key factor is a lack of self-discipline and moral principles.”

He said once more that we need to find ways to promote secular ethics that flow from common sense and scientific findings.

“We should remember that the Buddha taught for the benefit of all human beings. We too are part of humanity. To solve these problems we have a responsibility to work together. As a Tibetan Buddhist my concern is for the whole of humanity, you too should consider more than just Thailand and Bangkok.”

Questioned about the global economic crisis, His Holiness said he was surprised when it happened and he’d asked friends about the cause. They told him that it occurred because of too much greed and speculation, so to an extent ignorance was involved. He pointed out the need to distinguish between greed and desire, because there can be positive desire such as the wish for liberation and Buddhahood.

With regard to compassion, His Holiness drew a distinction between the biased compassion we may feel for those who are close to us and the kind of pure unrestrained compassion that is able to view even our enemies as fellow human beings in need of help. Reminded that last year he said that Nirvana is not achieved through chanting and prayer, His Holiness was asked how to cultivate a proper view. He said,

“Cultivating a more holistic and realistic view takes time and steady effort. As I said I have just given a long and thorough teaching to 20,000 monks in South India. Did it bring about immediate change in their minds? I doubt it. They need to work at it over a longer period. What we need to aim for now is a kind of emotional balance; eliminating our destructive emotions is difficult but it can be done. We need to be rigorous in our training. Thank you, see you tomorrow.”

Explanation of Demons Not Ghosts, Part 2

Continued from Explanation of Demons...Not Ghosts

Greetings and if you were with us for the last discussion we set the stage to better understand as to why “Ghosts” do not exist according to the Holy Bible.  What these “spirits” that people are encountering are the Fallen Angels and the Demonic realm that is associated to Satan.

Part 2 – In this we will cement this notion that Ghosts cannot exist based on the words of Christ and other doctrine.  To further validate the reason why one cannot linger around after death is found in the words of Luke a disciple of Christ.  Luke (A doctor by trade at that time), recorded the words of Jesus Christ of Nazareth in several very key verses found in Chapter 16.  These verses record to why Christ does exist and the stance that death is final with no possibility of lingering or not moving forward.

In Luke Chapter 16, verse 25 & 26 provide us a clue as to why once you die you cannot escape Hell and try to linger around.  The words from Jesus Christ state the following,

“But” Abraham replied, “Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony.  And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been set in place, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.”

This is a two part answer which is amazing, as it pertains to what happens when we die.  First of all Jesus Christ is stating the words of Abraham about the chasm between Heaven and Hell, which Christ provides validity to the fact that he is the Son of God, and would know what Abraham discussed with this ‘rich man’, because he was there at that time this discussion was occurring between Abraham and the rich man in Hell (being a righteous judge).

The second fact states that the chasm is created “so wide” that those in Hell cannot escape once judged by God for not accepting his ways or his gift given (I.e. Jesus Christ).  The very words that Jesus Christ spoke further nullifies the ability to leave hell to come back and be a ‘mean’ spirit to ‘poke, push, shove, scratch, etc…’ such as a ‘Ghost’ as paranormal teams like to embark upon with this false belief.

Now, let’s take this from another angle so to speak if we can.  Heaven has been described by the bible as a glorious and wonderful place to be.  This glory is pain free, trouble free, infinite in creation as well as design as it is referred to as the glory of all glories.

So follow me here folks, then why would you want to return to a place filled with pain, hate, anger, frustration, troubles, etc… back to this earthly realm?  Would you be doing this to ‘”warn your loved ones, tell them about the glory of Heaven, tell them not to worry that I am fine, etc…”?  This is a very plausible answer that many would say of course as I want to tell everyone, but according to the bible that is not the truth.

So if we continue on with what Christ stated about this chasm being great, the second part of Luke Chapter 16 verses 27 – 31 conclude, He answered, “Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my family, for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.” Abraham replied, “They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.” “No”, father Abraham, he said, “but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.” He said to him, “If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.”

The words of Jesus Christ instruct to the people that you did not listen to the Prophets of old, nor now will you listen to me with what I say regarding death.  The only way to truly show the people was to rise from the dead, which Christ did later after his crucifixion (to appear in flesh).

Jesus Christ’s warning was an apocalyptic snapshot at that time, because people did see him raise up people from a state of “sleep” what we classify as dead today.  The sad situation is still taking place today in this world as we speak, by not listening to the words spoken in the bible through reading and acquiring discernment for the truth by being close to God.

So if Ghosts do not exist, and one cannot come back from Hell or Heaven to warn what does that leave us?  The answer is only logical:  The Fallen Angels and Demons.  Earth is referred to as “The Devils Playground”, and Satan’s minions go forth with a plan of deception for all since this is the playground they are engaged to.  1Timothy 4:1 is a great example to further your knowledge about deceiving spirits in the end times.

These seducing spirits along with our own sinful nature are responsible for the new cult movement of ‘Ghost’ hunting.  If we are to believe that ‘Ghosts’ are roaming the earth, and not the Fallen Angels, then one can be easily deceived away from other truths of the Bible as well.

Jesus Christ, who is God was born into flesh, lived, died and was raised again in order to crush the head of Satan and the minions of hell known as Demons.  His actions allow us to no longer live in fear of Death or Satan.

Now that we have laid the foundation to understand that ‘Ghosts’ cannot exist due to truths documented in the words of not only the prophets of old, but by the words of Jesus Christ himself found in the Bible.  One only has to logically understand that Satan and his minions are set forth to destroy all mankind due to the hatred they have for mankind.  Therefore since the hatred exists, then what better way to destroy all mankind than to use something that all humans have in common, curiosity.

Since Satan and the Fallen Angels know all about us, due to the length of time they have had to study us over the millennium, they would certainly know how to put a proper plan of attack together.  Once people become infatuated with knowing more about what happens in the afterlife (i.e. curiosity), then Satan already has you in his web.  Folks, nothing to prove scientifically about Demons, they exist to destroy and bring forth destruction of mankind.  The Bible clearly warns of this.

However, once that curiosity starts in a person, the plan of attack as to how the Demons can infiltrate your life becomes even more attractive to that Kingdom.  That curiosity is also known as “invitation”.

In our next series we will lay out how the plan of destruction works, as it all starts with “invitation”.

Explanation of Demons, Not Ghosts, Part 3

By Rev. Dr. Bradley Luoma

Continued from: Explanation of Demons, Not Ghosts, Part 1
Explanation of Demons Not Ghosts, Part 2

In series part’s 1 and 2 we laid the ground floor to provide discernment that ‘Ghosts’ cannot exist as one would believe.  We used multiple Biblical verses laid out to clearly demonstrate when one dies they face judgment which is either Heaven or Hell.  At the end of part 2 we indicated that this entire false belief of ‘Ghosts’ starts with invitation to the realm to contact a person.

Part 3 - Satan knows man all too well, and Satan knew back then if he could tempt Eve with “eating” an apple and getting Adam to follow Eve’s actions, then he certainly can get people to believe that loved ones can come back to visit you once deceased to provide certain “words of wisdom” or “feelings of peace” that were once held in esteem for that loved person.

To further dive into our next subject – Demon activity not Ghost activity is infestation, oppression and possession, let’s look at the slide pictured in this article.  This snapshot captured is from the 2012 film, “The Conjuring”, which is depicting Ed and Lorraine Warren on a case.   During the movie the characters lay out how Demonic forces come about or infiltrate a person(s) life.  However, they missed the reason this is occurring in the first place – invitation or a generational curse.

The reason the Demonic become activated is two-fold – invitation of a person by their own hand or a generational curse found in the blood line.  The definition of involvement refers to being engaged with or participation with something.  This also refers to an emotional or personal association with something or someone. The invitation act is the direct result of ‘actions’ of said person in the occult world as well as in other aspects, but mostly related to occult activity.

Thus meaning, the person became active due to being involved with playing in the occult realm (I.e. Ouija board, Tarot Cards, Psychic/Medium engagement, Séance, Automatic Writing, Necromancy (going to the grave side and telling a passed one you miss them and wish you could see them one more time, telling a ‘Ghost’ to come forward to make yourself known or even telling a ‘Ghost’ to use my energy to come forward) Witchcraft practices, Satanic worship, Sacrifice of human/animal or both in the name of Satan, etc…).  Realize those discussed are just a small snapshot of occult aspects, but other sins of the ‘flesh’ also result in invitation too (I.e. illegal or legal drug usage (altered mind is what they are after), murder, prostitution, rape, sexual abuse, physical abuse, etc…).

Generational curses also bring forward the Demonic on a person.  These curses are found in the blood lines passed down through the family because of acts or ‘sins of our ancestors’.  Many people do not know what ancestors did 300, 600 or 1000 years ago in pledges to Satan for money, power, love, revenge, etc…  These curses become activated through the family lines causing havoc in the subsequent generations to come.

These curses cause people to become engaged further with activities that they should not be doing.  Many of you will disagree with this, but Exorcisms have confirmed why the Demonic were there in the first place, when they claim ‘Legal Rights’ to this person because of ancestral acts.  This becomes the challenge of the Exorcist to get the Demonic to admit fully what curse or curses are upon this person.  This is part of a ‘Legal Right’ they have to the person.  The sad part of this is (yes true) that even those professed saved in the blood of Jesus Christ, can and often under attack or even possessed by Demonic forces.  That is another story for another time.

The invitation process is not always instantaneous, but it can be for the Demonic.  Basically, the Demonic become activated as they wait for people to commit great offenses (I.e. Sin).  Even though we are all born in Sin, from the flesh of Adam and Eve, the Demons watch us all as they wait to see who continues to do more acts of involvement.  

For logical purposes, realize the Demonic are assigned to people to watch them, study them and then look for the ‘gaping wound’ found in the person.  What we might consider a very small scrape, the Demonic use as a major gaping wound to come upon a person.

The activity of invitation then moves onward towards the infestation aspect.  Infestation mode is designed to cause as much influx of Demonic activity as possible.  This is not limited to but does include: banging, knocking, heavy boots walking across the floor, items moving around, growling in the open air, a mist or a vapor, orbs, shadow figures and the list can go on and on.  During this time people become more aware thus will cause people to become obsessed with finding more answers, or engaging in the wrong manner which further opens that doorway.

The next phase after the infestation aspect is in full swing is the oppression state.  During this state people start to engage in behavior that is not typical of the person.  During this phase, the Demonic will take a ‘sane’ person and turn them ‘insane’.  They will cause the person or even the person’s family to always question every single aspect of their lives, cause major fights amongst each other, severe depression is common in women, severe aggression is common in men and both can be found in young children.

During this phase the attacks upon the person ramp up.  These include but are not limited to: scratching/gouging marks in the flesh, causing one to cut themselves (blood-letting), bite marks, bruising on body in areas they did not do themselves, getting pinned down on a bed/couch/chair, both men and women can be sexually assaulted, smells of sulfur/rotten meat/rotten eggs with no known source, catatonic activity (blank stare for extended periods of time), loss of time hours or days, and partial possession becomes apparent.

Possession the ultimate goal is when the Demonic fully reside in the person.  The afflicted will exhibit behavior that is not becoming or attributed to them.  This can include but is not limited to: ripping/tearing of flesh, tearing of hair off the head, removing all nails, severe mutilation of the flesh, eating bugs, playing/eating with/of fecal matter from the body, speaking in foreign tongues, levitation of the body, multiple voices coming out of the person at once, contortion of the body, breaking of bones, twisting and bending in positions not humanly possible, markings on the flesh with symbols, words, etc… as well as other aspects.  This stage is very severe and requires Exorcism upon the person.  During this extreme phase the Demonic may not allow the person to drink or eat thus sustaining life.  This phase requires both Medical and Spiritual intervention
In our next discussion of Demons not Ghosts, we will describe how the Demonic masquerade in the ways they feel necessary to enact their plans for all mankind.

Is It Dangerous Taking A Interest In Demons And Demonology?

In my humble opinion if this is not a calling from Jesus Christ then yes, it's very dangerous getting to nosy. It can lead to obsession as that is already a major problem that started developing since 2004 when these ghost shows started. Many people out there have no business trying to get involved. I have proof of my education and references starting in 1992 before the reality tv shows. I had to hide this back in the day. My father was mocked being a Preacher and dealing with these things that sadly came with the job for lack of better words. It was just doing funerals, weddings, baptisms and church services. I pray before and after I go over EVP's or video. This is very serious stuff people. Google slender man. You will be shocked and it's only becoming more popular. Let's be obsessed with Angels of The Lord who can take out a army of demons with the snap of a finger. Have you not heard about the wrath of these Angels? There is a reason why demons FEAR they're smite. When a location has demons due to legal rights they never leave until they are banished. That means anyone coming into that building, home or property are in danger. Doing EVP's in your home are welcoming any demonic being to come on in and stay a while. They take that legal right and run with it. Watching these reality ghost hunting shows too much getting way too involved in them paying money to go see these wanna be celebs (not all bust most are) is inviting all that mess in your life. I still do things inadvertently that allow this. I'm human, I sin and I will always make these mistakes but thank God for giving his only Son to die on the cross of Calvary so that we may have ever lasting life. Know this, say this out loud. These evil things shutter at the name of Jesus Christ. My heart is with him and he is in mine. He is my savior and Lord. Nothing will ever change that. I was not forced to believe anything. I was allowed to use my own head to decide this.

One of my favorite shows is Sid Roths "It's Supernatural" on the Christian channel. He is a Jewish man who believes Christ is the son of God. He has some amazing guests who share stories of the experience they have had with the demonic and the supernatural realm that started with harmless ghost hunting or researching and spending a lot of time wanting to know more. It's a slippery slope my friends. In 1992 is when I officially started full force into this and I still very much dislike this ministry. You don't have many friends and you are deemed a liar or nut case. I work for God and I trust whatever he has for me to do. I no longer really care what man thinks or what others say.

Sid Roth He had a guest named Mel Bond who like me had the gift of the Spirit, discernment. God allowed him to see demons and this dark world in order to help people. I always wondered why God allowed me to be privy to the most dark disturbing things that puts your worst nightmare in the category of mild dreams. Half the time I stay quiet as I witness these vile things. This man Mel Bond has a amazing ministry and books that speak about the gift of the spirits and I suggest this as a great read. You can also find YouTube videos as well.

Many who dabble in researching this come across people with strange and outrageous claims. And as a serious investigator for lack of better words, we all know that many people will lie only get their faces on television and attention.

We must realize now that there are those that just want attention. And making claims that the devil is hiding inside of them is often a true way to get the community to notice them.

Though now a days a direct school of thought is that such hoax's might lead to serious incidents and still these bogus claims might just be the devil actually at work behind the scenes.

For those that make the real claims that someone in their life is possessed by a devil or ghosts or diabolical dark forces or often the person of suspicion. Their terrible claims range from extraordinary claims of people walking on ceilings, strange voices coming from peoples stomachs, and what seems to be snippets taken straight out of current movies like Paranormal Activity and the demonic classic of all times The Exorcist. And of course whether we the people alive today believe it or not, there are in this world many individuals that seek out demonic forces. And their intent for such and serious reasons can vary.

Some call up demons to use their aid in gaining success. Others call them to make a man or woman fall in love with them or to leave their spouses and become armored with them alone. Yet still some call on these dark forces to wreck havoc in the lives of others for their own evil reasons. Making any kind of a deal with a demon has serious ramifications when it's all said and done. They hate humans. When I say hate I do mean HATE! Why would they want to help us? Think about this? Look at the Slender Man epidemic. More attempted murders have taken place in the name of pleasing the master demon Slender Man. If something doesn't exist, if given enough attention will take on a life of its own. It will be created from all the hysteria. We need Christ more than ever. Cling to the Father and is Holy name, through only him are we safe from this wicked world that satan is taking over through channels most never even of thought of.
