“Mom, brace your self. I know this
is going to be hard for you to believe.
But Jane is still alive. Honestly,
she is.! Her spirit exists and I
actually talked to her!”
It was late at night. I had returned home from an evening with my
friends. Never had my mother looked so startled and never would she have
expected such words to come out of my mouth.
Jane was my twenty one year old sister and she ‘d recently died in a car
accident after having been disowned my Dad who never got along with her and who
finally kicked her out of the house for good.
Now, I was telling my Mom that Jane’s ghost was alive, my Mom who had
raised me as an atheist. Not only had I
grown up without God, I didn’t believe in anything supernatural at all. In
fact, I was a cocky arrogant, High
School Senior and the only reason I accidentally stumbled into this bizarre
sounding experience is because I was at a wild drama cast party. I heard that a
few people were messing around with a Ouija Board upstairs and I went up there
with a few wise cracking buddies to laugh at these naïve, gullible idiots who
believed in fairy tales. When the evening was over, none of us were laughing
anymore. We saw some things we couldn’t explain. Through the Ouija board and
later on through an actual séance we communicated with a spirit who claimed to
be Jane. This spirit said things about our family that were private, that
nobody outside our family could have possibly known. The spirit said she was the guardian angel of
our family but only “Mother’s side.” She
was acknowledging her bad relationship with my Dad. One woman even got possessed at the séance,
turned to my brother and cried out “Paul, be good. Paul be good” This was something Jane used to say to
Paul.all the time.
A few years later I became a Christian. I renounced this occult activity
because I learned that I had not in fact talked to my sister Jane, but rather a
demon who was impersonating her in the hopes of getting me obsessed with the
supernatural. Such
obsession could have eventually led to demon possession. But ironically, seeing
the supernatural, (even the evil deceptive supernatural) convinced me that
there must be some kind of God. By God’s
grace, I ended up with Jesus Christ and I want to warn everybody that Satan has
a thousand masks, a thousand exciting, warm and fuzzy experiences. He wants to keep you from the miraculous work of
the real God in your life and he knows that the best place to hide a tree is in
a forest. But we must not be fooled. His path is the path of destruction. Any supernatural power apart from Jesus comes
from Satan. It may look good and feel good. But the source is evil.
