She’s charming, she’s whacky, and she’s got funny hair and crazy fingernails- she’s also working for the devil.
Sound harsh? Good.

Sound harsh? Good.
, Theresa Caputo,AKA “The Long Island Medium” seen weekly on the TLC cable channel, is the devil’s own Pied Piper leading people along the devil’s path. Does she know it? Probably not, but she should.
Caputo is a psychic- yes they do exist. I am not talking about the “Miss Cleo” types who randomly make up anything to make a billion (yes, that’s right) dollars. I am talking about the psychics who actually do see and hear things. They exist. The trouble is not that they see and hear things per say (many Saints had that gift), it’s who is behind what they see and hear and the fact that Caputo does not have the discernment to know its evil.
What do I mean by ‘evil’? I mean anything that is against God’s Will is evil. You might be a fan of Caputo’s who watches the shows and say to me: “She helps people by making them feel better!” I bet a lot of pot smokers out there would tell you the same thing about pot – yet it would remain damaging to your lungs no matter how good it might make a person feel.
Associating with psychics is damaging to a person’s soul. It jeopardizes a person’s salvation. How?
First of all, what Caputo is teaching from her television show is heretical to Catholic teaching- to ALL Christian teaching.
Sunday, May 26th, the “Long Island Medium” told her audience that she had lived past lives when she went into a ‘past life regression’ session to find out why she was ‘chosen’ to be a psychic. Any Christian worth their salt will tell you the bible flat out refutes ‘reincarnation’ completely…
Hebrews 9:27 “And just as it is appointed for men to die once, and after that comes judgment"
In another episode, Caputo told a woman her dead daughter’s soul was now “reborn” into the body of her newest grandchild. Poppycock!
Reincarnation comes from Eastern religions like Buddhism- it is a heresy to ALL Christian groups, Catholic and Protestant alike. A person is ONE soul and ONE body together. A person dies when the soul separates from the body. The Resurrection is about the soul reuniting with the body for eternity- in Heaven or Hell, at Judgment Day.
That is the basis of Christian belief in the Resurrection (yes, some Christians believe in ‘soul sleep’ but that is for another discussion). The “Resurrection of the Body” is not about an animated corpse because the soul has now been placed into yet another body and another and another. There is ONE soul for ONE body. That’s it. Period.
So what about Caputo’s “gift”? Is she making it all up? Is it a hoax? Why is it wrong to hear what a psychic has to say if it makes you feel better?
It’s the devil’s path. The spirit world exists; there is no doubt about it. Christians know there is life after death- heaven or hell, are our final destinations, its one or the other for eternity (Matt. 25:46). We know there are angels and demons. We know there are people in Purgatory. Some people can see them – numerous Saints have seen them and wrote about them – they are often called ‘ghosts’.
St. Bernard, in his life of St. Malachy shares this case…
Even Jesus Christ was mistaken for a ghost, not once but twice in scripture.
Here in Luke 24, Jesus clarifies that ghosts do not have bodies, they are spirit only. He tells them He still has his body. The body and soul are RESURRECTED together. This is as it will be for all of us. ONE body and ONE soul.
What psychics are doing is allowing (encouraging) their “spirit guides” (as Caputo and others call them) to show them things and let them hear things. These “spirit guides” are demonic. Guardian Angels from God would NOT direct people to believe in heresy, nor would they direct people to go against the Word of God in Scripture or against Church teaching. The “angels” who do this are FALLEN angels- demons. They WANT people to be deceived and to believe in the devils powers, this is how they win souls for hell.
The devil has power – for now. And he uses it to deceive, trick and lead people away from God and the Truth of Christianity. This is where Caputo is leading people astray. She’s been deceived by the devil and her “spirit guide” to go AGAINST the Word of God. She’s been deceived into believing she’s lived passed lives. The demons (AKA "spirit guides") are showing her these things and she’s fallen for their deception hook, line and sinker. She actually thinks what the demons show her, are lives her soul has lived in the past- no such thing! She’s been deceived and she is spreading that deception to others. A quick look at her "Long Island Medium" Facebook page shows the horrid ripple effect of her deception spreading worldwide to ignorant people. People pleading with her to please contact the dead for them. It's retched.
I don’t doubt that Caputo and others like her actually believe what they are doing is ‘good’ and even helpful to people, but it’s not. Her "well intentions" aren't really helping anyone, it's harming people. It is jeopardizing the souls of thousands of people. It is deceiving people from the Truth, into heresy and perhaps even into occult and demonic practices. How? This stuff is addicting. It’s like a drug. People go to one psychic then another, then another. They begin to want to see what they can do, so they play with Tarot Cards or Spirit boards (Ouija board) and CALL “spirits” to them. The spirits who answer are demonic.
The devil doesn’t show himself as gruesome with horns, hooves and forked tail – who would listen to or follow that?! The devil appears as “an angel of light” according to the Bible. This is how he tricks people.
2 Corinthians 11:13-15 Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition (RSVCE)
13 “For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. 14 And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. 15 So it is not strange if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.”
Now who does that sound like to you?
In the book “An Exorcist Tells His Story”, Father Gabriele Amorth, an exorcist priest in the Catholic Church tells about the power of the devil and exorcism’s he performed to release people from the power of the devil. On pages 40 and 41, Father Amorth shares a story of a witness who calls himself “Erasmus of Bari” (as published in the magazine “Rinnovamento dello Spirito” in September 1987). Erasmus of Bari tells how he was given gifts that he at first thought were from God- amazing gifts.
The gift of [page 40 – direct quote] “clairvoyance, mind reading, medical diagnosing, reading of hearts and lives of people both living and dead, and other powers. A few months later I received another faculty; the ability to take away pain merely by the imposition of hands. I could eliminate or alleviate any sort of suffering…” He goes on to say that he knew it was off because it wasn’t from God. He wasn’t living a changed life for God. He was “quick to anger, slow in pardoning, easily resentful, and given to take offense at nothing.” Realizing he wasn’t being gifted by God with abilities, he knew the only other source was the devil himself. His “gifts” were not divine from God to do ‘good’ but rather diabolical and from Satan! He'd been deceived! As soon as he was prayed over and asked God for help the “gifts” disappeared.
Don’t be deceived by psychics who themselves are deceived. Some psychics are in it for the money (Miss Cleo), some for the fame (Sylvia Browne) and others like Caputo who seem to believe they are helping people, but what they are all doing is spreading deception and doing the devil's work.
Don’t be led down the devils path by anyone. Trust in God. Don’t go looking for answers from anywhere else. God loves you, all of you, even the psychics and He wants you to reject the temptations of the devil and put all our trust in Him. You don’t need to contact anyone dead. You’re alive, live that life for God so that one day you will be resurrected, body and soul together for eternity in heaven.
Pray for Theresa Caputo, others like her and all who've fallen for the devil's trap. Most of these people are GOOD people who have been deceived, don't hate on them, just love them, pray for them and TEACH them the Truth before it's too late. And please, please, please DO NOT LET YOUR KIDS WATCH THIS STUFF!
God bless.

Catholic Catechism: #2115 God can reveal the future to his prophets or to other saints. Still, a sound Christian attitude consists in putting oneself confidently into the hands of Providence for whatever concerns the 305 future, and giving up all unhealthy curiosity about it. Improvidence, however, can constitute a lack of responsibility.
Catholic Catechism: #2116 All forms of divination are to be rejected: recourse to Satan or demons, conjuring up the dead or other practices falsely supposed to "unveil" the future.[48] Consulting horoscopes, astrology, palm reading, interpretation of omens and lots, the phenomena of clairvoyance, and recourse to mediums all conceal a desire for power over time, history, and, in the last analysis, other human beings, as well as a wish to conciliate hidden powers. They contradict the honor, respect, and loving fear that we owe to God alone.
Catholic Catechism: #2117 All practices of magic or sorcery, by which one attempts to tame occult powers, so as to place them at one's service and have a supernatural power over others - even if this were for the sake of restoring their health - are gravely contrary to the virtue of religion. These practices are even more to be condemned when accompanied by the intention of harming someone, or when they have recourse to the intervention of demons. Wearing charms is also reprehensible. Spiritism often implies divination or magical practices; the Church for her part warns the faithful against it. Recourse to so-called traditional cures does not justify either the invocation of evil powers or the exploitation of another's credulity.
1 John 4
On Denying the Incarnation
4 "Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3 but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world. "
Now a true example of 1John4 in action.
I have told this true experience before but this should never be taken lightly. My friends wife is into tarot reading. On the way to helping him move from an upstate rental house she was playing with the tarot cards. I prayed before hand about going because I knowing of her " new age" practices. While she was in the back of the car she decides to read me. My eyes are turned up. I declare do not read me. Please! She decides no I am already doing it. Well! I plead the blood of Christ over her. " I cover the Blood of Christ to make it null and void. " I did it loud but firm.
As I am doing this a car is out of control from the ramp on the NY state Thruway coming right towards us. It goes on the grass then comes toward us. I am calm because of my prayers that morning. The Holy Spirit has me boldly speaking the blood of Christ over the car. It straightens out into the lane finally after swerving.
My friend’s wife is also into spellcasting. So later under the Holy Spirit 's leading I had to confront her at the house.
He thought it was harmless until I told him she can not repeat the Apostle’s Creed. I challenged her and she could not repeat it. She could not say the long form Nicene creed or just directly that Divinity became man (1 John4). She says there are many Gods like from an unseen force. She had contortions.
He flipped his wig. I gave him a exorcism St Benedict cloth. She falls down when he takes it out of his wallet. I am not kidding. We are definitely leading and racing to the end.
Just remember we are in some weird unholy times. Pray more and more for others and guidance. Beware. Do deep beautiful heart felt contrition prayers before you even step out the door. I really believe I would of been dead on the NY state thruway without God's Daily Guidance.
“Caputo is a psychic” No, she really isn’t. She’s a con artist that uses information gathering web-sites and on-line social media web-sites. And on the cases headed for television, probably the help of private detectives. My father dealt with scum like her when he was a Detective in the NYPD.
"But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that during your life you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus bad things; but now he is being comforted here, and you are in agony. 26 And besides all this, between us and you there is a great chasm fixed, so that those who wish to come over from here to you will not be able, and that none may cross over from there to us.’ 27 And he said, ‘Then I beg you, father, that you send him to my father’s house— 28 for I have five brothers—in order that he may warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’ 29 But Abraham *said, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them hear them.’ 30 But he said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent!’ 31 But he said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead.’”
Yes, she works for me. >>>
LOL, she sure does!! and is doing a great job at that!!!
That’s a standard cold read. 90+% of the US population lives “near a body of water.” By the very nature of population patterns very few communities are far from a coast, a river, or a lake.

Yep, just like John Edward
http://johnedward.net/
sad thing is that his father was also a cop and fostered his evilness.
I saw a video of her on some TV show, before a large studio audience. She said, “Someone here has lost a spouse...maybe a sister.”
She really went out on a limb with that one. /S
That’s an amazing testimony. Praise God, and I hope she is delivered.
I hope Mr. Caputo will be amenable to where she will (probably) be spending eternity.
She really went out on a limb with that one. /S
Geez. It really IS true: There's a sucker born every minute.
It really is true. Caputo is laughing all the way to the bank.
Well, I hope she enjoys here "filthy lucre" while she can.
The treasures of HEAVEN are what we seek, nothing else.

That is VERY interesting, especially in light of all the *miracles* we see from televangelists.
I know of many Christians who think that all healing is from God because the devil couldn't heal. There is a denial in Christianity today that the enemy is capable of any good and that *If it's good, it's from God, and if it's bad, it's not* but that just does not square with Scripture.
I think one of Satan's best ploys has been to convince the church that all miracles validate the preacher as being from God, but one look at the lifestyles of people like Benny Hinn, and you know that can't be true.
I stopped after reading “per say.”
That is the basic ploy of using five dollar words to try to make yourself seem smart.
Except it’s spelled incorrectly. And that’s a killer.
Was she in the Ozarks?
More people would rather be praised into Hell;
than be rebuked into Heaven.
Catholics pray to dead folks all the time!
It makes THEM feel good; too!
