Not Really Paranormal. Just Thought It Was Funny

Demons (aka: Fallen Angels) Part 1 by Chad Stambaugh

Demons (aka: Fallen Angels) Part 1

     The history of demons goes back to the beginning of time itself.  Demons did not always exist however. They were created as angels before man was created. As angels they were good in nature just like all the others, as God intended them to be. However, pride led to the downfall of many of them.  It was this pride that caused these angels to not only think but to even believe that they were equal to God Himself.  It was this pride that caused them to think that they did not have to stay in their assigned roles or duties, and thus themselves above God and rule over even Him (Jude 6).  Lucifer, who was the leader of the rebellion, would become known as Satan and the angels that followed him became demons.

     It is important to know and understand one thing before I go any further.  God did not create evil, he can’t.  God is pure, love, kindness, omnipotent, omnipresent, etc.  There is nothing bad or evil about God, there is no darkness in Him what so ever, only light.

     It was the pride of some of the angels that caused them to sin against God, thus causing some of them to be chained and cast into the pits of nether gloom to be kept until the last judgment of Jesus Christ. (2 Peter 2:4)  However, not all of the demons were chained and committed to those pits after the rebellion.  The other demons were cast out of the third Heaven which is also known as the heaven of heavens.  This is where Jesus Christ ascended to and now sits and rules over all having all authority, power, and dominion. Thus they were removed from the presence of God and Jesus Christ until the last judgment.

    Once they were cast from Heaven they lost a great deal of their powers as a part of their    punishment.  When it comes to their powers they still have more power against non-Christians than they do Christians.  For example, against a non-Christian they can control, possess, deceive, blind them spiritually, and trap them.  To a Christian they can tempt, harass, and deceive them at times but never control or possess them.  Demons can possess people and animals only, not dolls like some people believe.  People will often hear stories of possessed dolls and toys and it is believed because the doll or toy was said to have moved on its own.  What’s happening in those stories is that the doll or toy is being manipulated by the demon, not being possessed.  Demons cannot possess inanimate objects.

     It’s not just the powers and abilities of demons that are popular, it’s their appearance too.  Demons have even found their way into medieval art.  During that era they usually appeared as little black evil creatures or “imps” in paintings.  Of course demons do not actually have material or physical bodies.  They can appear as a black humanoid form, but they cannot duplicate the human form perfectly.  This is because demons never were human.  It is more common for them to appear as a black mass, red mist, or orange mist. Although demons have no true form or body they will also appear in an ugly, grotesque form to scare the people they are appearing before.  This is to initiate a reaction of fear. Fear is what a demon feeds off of because it makes them stronger.  Demons can also appear in more friendly forms though to gain acceptance into a home or life.  For example, demons can appear to very small children as another child to gain acceptance into the child’s life and home.  This is where some children get their imaginary friends. This is also a good example of how they deceive people to get what they want.

      As I have stated before, demons will do whatever they can to get what they want, nothing is beneath them.  Until the final judgment of Christ they have nothing but time, and the wisdom of the ages to do whatever they can to try and destroy mankind and make him/her suffer as much as possible in the process.

Two Articles by Jennifer Scelsi: Pray to Whomever/Use Holy Water

Pray to Whomever You Believe In
By Jennifer Scelsi of CSI: Paranormal

Whether you believe in God, the Goddess, Buddha, Allah or if you simply want to pray to your ancestors or family members who have passed away; when dealing with a spirit it can't hurt to enlist the help of loving spirits. They may be able to help the ghost find its way to the other side or be effective in convincing it to leave you alone.

Use Holy Water

 

You can take a small, clean container with a lid and respectfully go to a church and fill it with Holy Water. Go around your house and put a bit of holy water on your finger and make the sign of the cross on every door frame.

When you make the cross with the holy water, you can say:

"I bless and clean this space in the name of the Lord." 

Or you can use any other prayer if you wish. If you are not particularly religious, you may want to say a mantra that goes, "I order any spirits in this space to leave."

The trick to completing this task properly is to really believe with all your heart what you're doing and saying. So if you are not comfortable with saying a prayer, use a mantra, and vice versa. Be firm and assertive in your tone. There's no need to yell, but if you project a calm, assertive energy and truly mean what you're saying, the use of holy water can be very effective in ridding your home of spirits.
