In our final summation for our examination Demons not Ghosts, we have demonstrated ground work, the steps taken, willful examples of Demonic charades and now we will bring this series to a close. As we have stated during this series, Demons will use any image known to them to enact a plan of destruction upon humans.  This is the forces of Satan and hell acting and posing as former living beings referencing ‘Ghost’ like beings.

Part 5 - When we talk about the subject of demons posing as human ‘Ghost’ spirits, either in a haunted house, building, location or in communications through an Ouija board, a medium, or whatever other means of channeling, contacting, or interacting with them, we can summarize their reasons for their ruses as follows.  I have chosen to divide up the sections into the methods of the Demons and their goals:

The Methods of Demons masquerading as ‘Ghosts’ is as follows:

1. Demons masquerade as human spirits to hide their true identity.  What would these unholy entities gain by this ruse?  The ruse is placed into action as a way for the Demons to interact with unsuspecting humans to get the person to buy into a harmless action or act.  If their true motive was known up front by all, which Jesus Christ stated in John 10:10 (set forth to kill, steal and destroy mankind) warned what they are set forth to do.

2.  Demons masquerade as human spirits to appear harmless or benign to their subjects.  By appearing as benign or harmless gives the target a false sense of nothing is wrong.  Many times it’s just a small child; a fellow loved one or the former resident.  However any image can be projected to the victim that seems harmless or non-threatening thus appearing more believable.  The Demonic realm will also at times appear to be righteous and mighty, even though the intention is to kill, steal and destroy.

3. Demons often portray themselves as a young person who died a horrible and tragic death.  The logic behind this is to play on the emotion of humans feeling sorry for someone who died tragically.  In truth, Demons love to see humans suffer, bleed profusely and even die in horrific mannerisms.   This is why satanic worshippers often use blood in rituals, as human or animal blood represents life.

4. Demons often manifest around their intended victims with tricks such as orbs, vapors or mists.  This is designed to draw or entice their victim(s) into "learning" more about why this occurring around them.  Often times the victims unsuspectingly do actions to further enhance these tricks.  This is part of the infestation phase, and many times the victim will become mad, angry, curse, yell, etc…  All of these actions do little to stop the process as the Demons know they are having an impact upon you.

5. Demons entice their subjects to probe deeper and ask questions relating to hidden knowledge.  The person becomes so involved and enamored with what is taking place within their life, which the victim starts to ask questions upon the forces inflicting this torment.  Victims will at that point even search for help and sometimes bring in improper paranormal teams unknown to them.  They are seeking help and all too many cases I have worked these teams have made the situation more severe due to their actions.

6. Demons pose as human spirits to develop the trust of their subjects and to foster a personal relationship, or bond, with them.  Demons rarely manifest themselves as they truly are. Their hatred, rage, and desire for the eternal damnation of souls are hidden behind subtle and carefully chosen disguises. Scarcely would anyone follow these creatures if they dared to manifest themselves honestly.  If they did manifest in their true form, everyone would be running to a church, priest, minister, etc… to seek help immediately.


So to sum up the entire 5 part series that we have laid out of Demons not ‘Ghosts’,  Demons have an extensive knowledge, relatively speaking, of human nature and the psychology of man.  Demons can size up an individual and can determine a customized plan of destruction for that individual or group of individuals that they are working upon.

Demons are cunning and have the wisdom of the ages at their disposal. Demons draw upon their vast knowledge of what works and what does not work in leading souls to Hell.  With their superior intellect, their knowledge of man, their burning desire to keep man from the vision of God and their millennia of experience in doing just that, demons are a foe that must be dealt with deadly seriousness.

We hope this series has served insights to all of you who took the time to engage in this reading.  Hopefully this has opened the eyes of some people today to provide a better and more logical approach to the idea of ‘Ghosts’ just don't exist.  Due to actions of people, by their own hand it is the direct result of the Demonic coming forward against them.  During Diabolical investigations I often instruct the afflicted person or family the following:  “You cannot open the doors of Hell, peek inside to see what is going on without expecting the Devil to not want to come return the view upon you and your life.”

For example, a case which I handled about 6 months ago, I received a call asking that I come over to perform a special blessing on the house.  In all seriousness I thought sure, no problem what day and time do you want me to do this, along with the question in my head ‘why do you feel the house needs a blessing?’

The caller went on to say that they have seen a black cat with glowing yellow eyes walking across the couch in their house.  Not thinking much of this, a cat with yellow eyes, I said sure what day do you want me over. The caller then said, “Didn’t you hear me Rev. Brad?”  I responded “Yes, I heard you, a cat with glowing yellow eyes all black in color walking across your couch.”  The caller said well “we don’t own a black cat at all only two dogs.”  The case was one I needed to become involved with quickly.

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.
