To make a long story short.... as a child, my brother saw a demon outside our window (back then you had to have the tv by a window because of heat generated). He saw this demon "dancing" around our window. He has been plagued w/ nothing but horror.
Now, in these days, he has over come his demons; however, his first born son has seen this demon, a few months ago, outside his window. His first born son described to him ( at first reluctant that he would not be believed) the same thing my brother saw as a child. My brother was stunned.
We need help. I truly believe in satan and his demons to be as real as we are. What can we do? Who do we turn to?
Some may see this as nonsense, but we are living this in real life. Can anyone help us or at least lead us to someone who can help?
Thanks tons.
And for your wonderfully cute Christmas greeting.
NGZ, you and everyone on this thread who take it as “gospel” That your bother and now his son witnessed an identical “demon” as children, are at least in the second instance relying upon the observation of a 4 year old!
Can we please put a little perspective on the reliability of a four year old child’s observations and then reports of those observations?
I mean really it’s preposterous and all those who would fill his house with holy water fonts, an entire congregation praying, exorcists, etc., are giving you a prescription for a child to develop serious emotional problems.
Two little kids seeing “something” a generation apart? This is not the basis for a panic, and that is as informed and reasonable astatement as all the advice from “paranormal investigators” and the like on here.
Most priests and serious religious people will NOT jump to the conclusion that a little kid who got scared has had a deep spiritual experience.
Let us know what the priest says. Thanks.
Theological elites are not necessary
Stop answering and listen for once. We have concrete freepers who can help with this concrete problem. Leave your abstractions at the door in this one case, if you can.
Sorry, Bro,
However,
Mark 16:17 disagrees with you:
Mark 17:
And these signs will accompany
THOSE WHO BELIEVE; In my name they will drive out demons;
I gather you haven’t read my posts except for the parts you wish to fuss about.
I respectfully disagree with your advice to ignore the situation. We’re talking about a child who saw the same apparition that his father did as a child himself. A young child doesn’t have the spiritual maturity to spend time in the Word and pray about the situation.
Also, many times the father will casually relate a story about a demon outside the window, and the child overhears it - and then the story becomes a “reality” to the child...Best thing I can recommend is for him to tell his son that his parents will protect him from all demons, so don’t worry or be bothered by this anymore.
Excellent. And is Fedora the keeper of that list?
Amazing . . .
What’s so difficult about
TRULY LISTENING to a 4 year old boy?
Children can be quite good at describing what they see.
Their description can be compared to other descriptions and sightings.
What’s so difficult? Sheesh.
NGZ, hang in there. Remember this is a case of spiritual pests, which can be gotten rid of. In the meantime, remember no spirits have control of you and yours, they’re just pestering the house.
In Jesus’ Lord’s name I pray, Amen.
Any spiritual warfare in which they choose to engage should absolutely not be done in the presence or knowledge of the child. Nobody on this thread has recommended otherwise.
Interestingly enough, the Catholic Church just recognized an apparition of the Blessed Virgin in Wisconsin as legitimate.
I would also advise bringing in a priest. Don’t be afraid; that’s what it wants. Jesus told Satan to “get thee behind me.” Ignore it, if you can. Refuse to see it. Reject it.
James Randi debunked “psychics” like Uri Geller who went from cheap parlor magic and bending spoons, to telling desperate people that he was in touch with space aliens who could cure their cancers.
Randi also was a great magician, I had the pleasure of seeing him prform live.
Don’t know why he is being lumped in with Richard Dawkins here.
Agreed.
Hey Man , I believe you, this stuff is real, it sounds like you have an dark entity following your family, you can fight this, you will get rid of this. Turn to some PRS researchers and the Church, even if those affected don’t believe, FIGHT!!!!!
“I just told my brother he needs to involve his Priest. If his Priest doesn’t want to get involved, go higher.”
Priest? I think you need an atheist to bait the demon so that it’ll leave your brother alone.
I gather you haven’t read my posts except for the parts you wish to fuss about
I believe the family needs to take stock of the things family members may have been involved with....there are many seemingly innocent curoisities some look into which give way to demonic influences.....what ones mind can and does manufacture is nothing new...we can easily picture what we imagine might be as well. What one sees is not always reality.
Daily reading of horoscopes in the newspaper has been found to give entry to demonic forces.
Rebellion, against, ignoring God’s instructions in The Manual give demonic forces legal authority to bother individuals.
