Screen shot: YouTube.com  Anneliese Michel (before/after)
Last month, I wrote about Nephilim spirits operating in the world throughout history and how they inhabit the antichrist kingdom (Islamic Caliphate) rising before our eyes in the last days. A documented example of demonic possession, among many, is the case of Anneliese Michel. Michel became withdrawn and strongly opposed to anything religious in nature. She refused to eat/drink and became emaciated and dehydrated, weighing only 68 pounds when she died at the age of 23. Then there is the case of “Roland Doe” (pseudonym), a 13-year-old Maryland boy who became demon possessed after playing with his aunt’s Ouija board. “Doe” was actually the real life victim that The Exorcist movie was based on, released in December 1973. In today’s secular world, possession may sound ridiculous, but I am personally aware of the fact that demon possession is real and nothing to be taken lightly. I was raised in a small Pentecostal holiness church. The church actually started as a mission (with the Church of God of Prophecy) in my mother’s home when I was one year old. I will never forget an incident that occurred one evening during a church service when I was about 14 years old. Two faithful women of God, who prayed and fasted often, began praying for a woman who was troubled at the close of the service. These two saints were praying with the woman and I decided to stay and pray with them after everyone else left the church. The woman that was being prayed for began vomiting and she started speaking in a demonically sounding guttural voice. The demon inside this woman said, “I am legion,” among other things. As we continued praying fervently, I laid my hand on the woman’s back, as she was kneeling on the floor, and it suddenly felt like I had touched thousands of volts of electricity and I jerked my hand off of her. Shortly after that, while still down on her knees, the woman began crawling to the door of the church, which was closed at the time. As she neared the exit, the door suddenly flew open so hard, it slammed loudly against the wall outside. No one was standing near the door, nor did anyone touch it, but it literally flew open with a loud bang, all by itself! I witnessed these demonic demonstrations that night and no one could ever convince me that demon possession is not real. Most importantly, the Holy Word of God tells us that people have been, and can become, demon possessed, even to the point of turning reprobate – unable to obtain deliverance – because they have hardened their hearts and satan takes complete control of them. The Word of God tells us, “Neither give place to the devil” Ephesians 4:27, meaning don't allow him an open door, or an avenue, to enter in to you, or into your life. Also, “Know ye not that to whom you yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants you are to whom you obey, whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?” Romans 6:16. Jesus cast demons out of a man, and he cast one out of a child, "Jesus rebuked the devil and he departed out of him and the child was cured from that very hour" Matthew 17:18. Devout Christians understand and have warned that there are certain things that “open a door” to demonic activity and possession. The Ouija board is famous for causing supernatural activity and demonic possession of its players. The same goes for those who dabble in Tarot cards, crystal balls, séances, necromancy, fortune telling, witchcraft, sorcery, black magic, palm reading, Dungeons and Dragons, and of late, Charlie, Charlie (inspired by the Ouija board). Demons also may enter those who give heed to sexual deviancy. In these last days, secular "psychiatrists" are actually saying sexual deviance is normal; but that's not what the Word of God tells us (1 Corinthians 6:9) - so beware! The list goes on... There are many reports of demonic possession after kids play “Charlie, Charlie.” Some of these occurrences have been reported in recent news articles, on YouTube.com and on the DrudgeReport.com. The stories are bizarre, to say the least. About 100 students at a school in Peru were rushed to a nearby hospital when they appeared to be “possessed.” Many of the students said a man in black was trying to kill them, students were screaming, hallucinating, foaming at the mouth, convulsing and fainting. Eighty of the students are still suffering effects weeks later. This type of activity is occurring more frequently now than ever, because children are dabbling in the occult and their parents have the least amount of influence today, unlike any generation before us. The Bible says, “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come (we are here, folks); for men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those who are good” 2 Timothy 3:1-3. Jesus said, “And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up and lift up your heads, for your redemption draws nigh” Luke 21:28. It is time to make sure we are prepared for the Lord’s return. “Therefore be ye also ready, for in such an hour as ye think not, the Son of man cometh” Matthew 24:44.
