God’s Protection when faced with a Demonic Presence….

What I want to write about is not an easy topic to discuss. Some of you will scoff in disbelief.

A little background if you will……..

My sister cares for a 63 year old gentleman with Downs Syndrome. He moved here last October when his other family members who were caring for him passed away. He moved in with his sister-in-law and nephew.

The house is rather old. The original part of the house was built in 1709. The second part of the house was added in the 1800’s. There was an addition put on in the early 1900’s. The house is “noisy”. When the current owners bought the house, they began remodeling. It was then they found out their house was possessed. Finally the mother of the nephew stamped her foot and told the spirits in her house that this was her house now; they could live with her but she wasn’t leaving. They were invited to stay………

One day while my sister was in the house she was slapped in the face….she was by herself. She said if it hadn’t been for the red mark across her cheek; she wasn’t sure she would have even believed what just happened. The house has issues.

The guardian had to leave town for 10 days due to a business trip. He wanted my sister to stay at the house to watch the gentleman.

Night 1

She put her gentleman to bed. She sat up for awhile watching tv. She kept hearing noises, doors banging, drawers closing, what sounded like a tennis ball bouncing on the floor, voices, breathing in her ear and footsteps. She was told by the other care taker that she wouldn’t get any sleep during the night and she was better off leaving all the lights on along with the tv and radio. It would help drown out the noise. My sister cannot sleep with a light on but she did leave the tv on but very low. She got ready for bed, turned out the lights, and the whispering and breathing started right at her ear. She turned the tv up a little louder. She was awakened every hour and then at 4:30 am she was shaken. She just threw her hand up in the air and said,”It’s only 4:30. I have another hour and half. Wake me then and we can talk.”

This went on for the next three nights. Finally, she couldn’t take it anymore and called in one of our sisters. My husband was refusing to allow me to go unless I took a friend. Up to this point my sister was still thinking they were just ghosts. My husband and I have other ideas concerning what she was dealing with in that house. The other sister stayed with her from Thursday to Saturday.

The other sister went armed with her laptop, video camera and digital recorder. If she was going to stay there she was coming back with proof that our sister wasn’t crazy. As a Christian, I have my own belief on this and one of the things we wouldn’t do is go around and question what ever is there nor would I actively seek it out.

It took some explaining but we were able to explain to my sister that according to scripture, our souls go to one of two places when we die….heaven or hell. There is no hanging around. The devil is able to use his demons to present as familiar spirits. I know my sister is saved. She is not a strong Christian. What the rest of the world may not realize is how the devil uses this to muddy the waters. It pulls people away and draws them into other things and away from God.

They called us Thursday night. They played some of the recordings. These were not friendly family members. It only got worse as the week went by. Finally on Saturday when my sister took her gentleman home and got him ready for bed, I suggested she pray with him and over him. His room is….very active. He is not left alone. He constantly complains about how the voices won’t leave him alone and they are noisy. He is always tired when he gets up in the morning. After their prayer…..the night went down hill. It became so bad that my sister called in tears asking my husband to pray. I wasn’t home at the time. When I did arrive my husband informed me that I needed to call my sister immediately.
