When will we stop deciding we know what people are like based on who they love, what faith they practice, what they look like or how much money they make? God created all of us. Please, let’s remember our commonality, instead of going out of our way to denigrate others because they are different from us. Here’s my 2013 [...]
If you’ve had a loved one worried about your spiritual salvation because you’re a paranormal investigator, take heart: they love you. And love is never bad. But how do you address their concerns (if you choose to)? Here’s what I’ve learned over the years from studying the Bible and my experiences with ghosts. The New [...]
Just like I once disbelieved in ghosts, I never believed in guardian angels. It seemed too nice to have an ethereal being watching out for me. After all, why would I warrant this kind of blessing from God? But as with my other views regarding the spirit world, this one crumbled shortly after my night [...]
See my related post from two weeks ago, “The Bible acknowledges the existence of positive spirits and ghosts.” I view our psychic abilities as a gift from the Holy Spirit, a divine energy that connects all of us—whether or not we still inhabit our bodies. While some denominations say that God only allowed prophecy and [...]
At one time, I worshipped at a church where the pastor warned of the evils of supernatural beings visiting our realm. What about angels on Earth, you may ask. He’d have said, “Nope, only Satan’s army of fallen angels visits us.” What about the spirits of crossed-over loved ones that come to see us? “Satan [...]
Life is an ongoing exercise in seeking balance. Take something great and use it wrong and you'll most likely get disappointing results. The same is true of our god-given sixth sense, whether it be a psychic inkling, dream message or visit from a guardian angel. I've met people who've been blessed with great intuitive abilities, [...]
Satan constantly tries to get me to stumble and stray from the Lord. And, to overcome this constant threat, I need vigilance and determination to behave in as saintly way as possible. That’s what I used to believe. My former pastor, who taught all spirits (outside the Holy Ghost) as cohorts of the devil, constantly [...]
I study my Bible nightly. It always amazes me when a verse I’ve read dozens of times before can suddenly become so profound when I face a specific circumstance in my life. The scriptures thrill me, touch me and humble me. I take the Bible figuratively. Jesus taught in parables—clearly, not a literal approach. I [...]
At various times, I’ve regularly attended Methodist, Unitarian, Assembly of God and non-denominational Bible churches. Each place of worship gave me skills to carry through life and I’m glad to have had those experiences. However, today I’m closer to the Great I Am than I was when I sat in the pews every Sunday. Don’t [...]
My definition of Christianity Anyone who believes Christ died for our sins and that Jesus is the son of God. It’s wrong to accuse differing denominations of being cults. One Bible verse haunted me As my life spun 180 degrees after GFH, a verse from Isaiah 8:19 worried my spiritual consciousness. How could God thrust [...]
