Drunk On Spirits – The Mis-Information

Drunk On Spirits – The Miss Informed.

Wednesday 11th September 2019.

Over the last few days, I’ve felt God telling me I need to get back into blogging as I let it fall by the way side, due to other things I needed or wanted to do. With this in mind and as I was not sure what topic to write about, I found God guiding me to a car show, which a friend of mine runs. After the show, I got introduce to a gentleman, who said he was a minister in a Christian Spiritual Church. This is the topic I felt God telling me to write about.

Anyone who has read my blog and knows me, I question everything, and research completely and rightly so. This gentleman, I will call him Tom (not his real name) said that their “church” looks at spirits which most none believes would call ghosts, and he proceeded to show me photos on his phone of what looked like ghostly shadowy people in old dark buildings. Has I trained in photo editing, and have friends who are professional web and image designers, these photos could have been photoshopped and manipulated quite easily. However, Tom believed these “spirits” where human spirits who roamed the earth, talking and appearing to him and other people, one of which was a woman who appeared to one of their Sunday school teachers and she conversed back. This to me was very concerning as a practicing Christian, and having a some what understanding of the spiritual realm. As well as what this Sunday school teacher would be teaching these young children.

I will be blunt here and say I say with true conviction, that what Tom believes, what Tom calls a place a church is a cult and does not teach the true teachings of Christ. This is when I started to discuss with Tom the teachings of Christ and what the Bible say Christians should believe. Christians believe and are told directly from Christ, the ONLY way to the Father in Heaven is through Him (Jesus). If you believe Jesus is the Son of God, He (Jesus) died for your wrong doings (Sins), rose again on the third day and ascended to heaven, then you are saved. You can read this in Romans Chapter 10, verse 9 & 10, which says “(EVS) Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the Dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved”. John Chapter 3 verse 16 & 17 says “(NCV) God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son so that whoever believes in him may not be lost, but have eternal life. God did not send his Son into the world to judge the world guilty, but to save the world through him. The book of John is a good book to read and Chapter 3 says a lot on this topic.

So I’ve explained what the foundations of Christianity is and I then explained that there are ‘Spirits’ on Earth, but not the ones people believe in as ‘ghosts’. This is where Tom looked puzzled and for anyone reading this, I’ll explain like I did to Tom. There are two types of Spirits in our world, and they are all called Angels, some are the ones we picture as beautiful and white wings and follow God and does His bidding, the others are fallen Angels, like satan and what we call demons. (I personally don’t believe Angels of any sort look like they have been in a DAZ washing powder commercial or demons wear black because it looks cool). Then there are Souls, which humans have, these are a form of Spirit but different to those fore mentioned. This is because God breathed life into man and this spirit (soul) came from the Holy Spirit (God’s Spirit), the Book of Genesis Chapter 2 verse 7 says “(NIV) The Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being”.

So now we have understanding of what a Spirit is and what a Soul is. Now, lets look at what happens when we die… Yes that is a big topic, however I’m going to simplify it so that you don’t have to do five years of Bible College and have a doctorate in Christianity lol.

When we die, from what I know from 1 Corinthians Chapter 15 verses 12 to 28 says “(NCV) Now since we preached that Christ was raised from the dead, why do some of you say that people will not be raised from the dead? If no one is ever raised from the dead, then Christ has not been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is worth nothing, and your faith is worth nothing. And also, we are guilty of lying about God, because we testified of him that he raised Christ from the dead. But if people are not raised from the dead, then God never raised Christ. If the dead are not raised, Christ has not been raised either. And if Christ has not been raised, then your faith has nothing to it; you are still guilty of your sins. And those in Christ who have already died are lost. If our hope in Christ is for this life only, we should be pitied more than anyone else in the world. But Christ has truly been raised from the dead—the first one and proof that those who sleep in death will also be raised. Death has come because of what one man did, but the rising from death also comes because of one man. In Adam all of us die. In the same way, in Christ all of us will be made alive again. But everyone will be raised to life in the right order. Christ was first to be raised. When Christ comes again, those who belong to him will be raised to life, and then the end will come. At that time Christ will destroy all rulers, authorities, and powers, and he will hand over the kingdom to God the Father. Christ must rule until he puts all enemies under his control. The last enemy to be destroyed will be death. The Scripture says that God put all things under his control. When it says “all things” are under him, it is clear this does not include God himself. God is the One who put everything under his control. After everything has been put under the Son, then he will put himself under God, who had put all things under him. Then God will be the complete ruler over everything.

I want to touch upon a couple of passages or parts of here, These are verses 20, 23 and 24 which say this “(20) … and proof that those who sleep in death will be raised”, “(23 and 24) … when Christ comes again, those who belong to Him (Christ) will be raised to life, and then the end will come. At that time Christ will destroy all rulers, authorities and powers.” So from this, as far as I’m aware, our soul stays with our bodies, whether we are buried, cremated or anything else which is done fore burial. Then Christ will return, which then the ones who follow Christ will Raise to life (Heaven), and the end will come. Those who do not believe will stay dead. I take it from this, when Christians who haven’t died will raise to Heaven together with those who were buried etc. Jesus will then destroy those who appose God, including satan and the other demons, who will be cast into hell for all of eternity.

This now brings me to what people see as spirits of loved ones at the end of their beds, sat like their Grandfather or Grandmother for example. These are spirits but not human souls. As I explained earlier, these are fallen Angels (demons) who know enough about a person (ie; Grandfather, Grandmother etc) to imitate them and make themselves look like and sound like the person they are pretending to be. You might ask why demons would do this??? That’s easy to explain. For this you have to look at satan and his personality. A good and in-depth description can be found via this link https://www.blueletterbible.org/faq/don_stewart/don_stewart_69.cfm. satan’s personality in the Bible is described as: Proud, Fierce and Cruel, Powerful, Deceitful and Subtle. Now all demons have these traits, because they don’t have any part of God’s Goodness in them, and when you read about them, you will see they are ‘deceitful and subtle, cruel’ in their approach to trying to trick us and to make us believe lies, which seem like truths. Check this link out for some of the lies demons, especially satan tries to make you believe: https://www.blueletterbible.org/faq/don_stewart/don_stewart_90.cfm. Now these fallen angels (spirits) know where they are going, this I showed in the previous Bible passages earlier, however you may also like to read Revelations Chapter 20, paying attention to verse 10, which says “(NCV) and satan, who tricked them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulphur with the beast and the false prophet. They will be punished day and night for ever and ever.” So because the fallen angels know where they are heading, to the lake of burning sulphur, they want to take as many people as possible with them. Now on this premise, if those who don’t know or actively deny God are already going to hell. So fallen angels need to only focus on three types of people, the first are Christians as they are going to Heaven, the second are would be Christians, as they will become Christians and gain access to Heaven, and the third are none Christians but are gullible to believe the lies and help spread false doctrine, or lies about who God is or that He (God, Jesus, Holy Spirit) doesn’t exist. So this is why we have people seeing so called ghosts, spirits etc of loved one or a “spirit” haunting a place. Drunk on Spirit hunting. It is evil spirits trying to stop you from receiving and having the FULL Potential, and love God has created you for.

I say this prayer for anyone who reads this and for those who don’t…

“Lord Jesus, Thank you for being our God and Lord and Saviour. Thank you for your Love for us. I bring before you now, those who read this and those who do not. Bring Peace into their lives which only you can do. Protect them from all evil spirits who wish to do them harm and cause them to suffer. Let your Guardian Angels protect them. Bring them under your guidance and help them to know your love and understanding. If they do not know you Lord, bring them into your loving arms and show them you are their true God and Saviour, Amen”.

If you would like Jesus in your life, for Him to speak into your situation and help you on the journey you are currently travelling on, Please open your heart to Him and recite this prayer.

“Jesus, I have heard of your word and I want you in my life, I am sorry for all the tings I have done to dishonour you. Please forgive me. Please come into my life and show me how you want me to live and please build me up to love you, love myself and love others as you did. Please let your Holy Spirit come upon me, and please guide me to a Church which is filled with the Holy Spirit. In your name I ask this, Lord Jesus, Amen”

If you said this with an open heart and meant it, it will happen. I would further advise you look for a Protestant, Evangelical or Baptist Church (I recommend these as these have sound teaching of Christ, even though there are other churches out there, you will be safe with these). If you need help in finding a Christian Church which will help you grow in God, please feel free to message me and I will help source one in your local area, and I will be happy to help you in your walk with Christ.
