Yes it is very traumatic. You have to forgive yourself or you will never be free! Remember the Lord Jesus is Gracious and do not hold your sin against you at all! Jesus has had mercy on you and has forgiven you all your sin. He cancelled ALL your debt at the cross!!

The question is will you now be as Merciful to yourself as He has been to YOU!

f you cannot forgive yourself make a list of all the reasons why not? For example "I don't deserve to be free after what I have done" etc. Take these beliefs prayerfully to the Lord and ask him to talk to you about it! If Jesus does not talk you out the belief immediately ask him to show you where you have learned that belief and then let him talk to you in the memory where you learned the belief!
In this way the Lord will enable you to reach a position where you can forgive yourself from your heart! In that moment when you have forgiven yourself from the heart ask the Lord to show you how He has forgiven you!

Jesus can heal the deepest hurts! If you don't manage on your own and cannot find a flesh and blood believer to help you resolve this pain.

Revelation 18:2 (ASV) | In Context | Whole Chapter


2 And he cried with a mighty voice, saying, Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, and is become a habitation of demons, and a hold of every unclean spirit, and a hold of every unclean and hateful bird.

im not saying you live in babylon, im just pointing out that demons can haunt places according to the bible.

Throughout the Bible there are references to demons, Satan, exorcisms, evil spirits, angels, etc. At times even the apostles saw spirits (Moses, Elijah). So this opens the possibility for hauntings. Every good Christian I know seems to believe that we should be very careful about dealing with potential evil spirits.

At the same time, I have seen too many Ghost Hunter shows on TV, and in most cases they seem to be nothing more than people placing themselves in spooky dark places and scaring themselves when something goes bump in the dark.

Actually, it may be possible that sensitivity to spiritual phenomenon can be quite common to true Christians.

See John 16:13:

Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

Pay attention to that bold text - The Holy Spirit will show us things/events from the future. Some sort of precognition? I've seen it for myself, in fact, one of my visions of the future, save me from a very dangerous accident!

"Precognitives" tend to be sensitive to spiritual phenomenon too. Although I'm not so sure whether the ghost's I'm seeing are real ghosts or just people who are projected from the future and partially interacting with my present time. Some of the ghosts I'm seeing doesn't seem aware of my presence and they are a blur to me so I can't make up their identities.

The frequent visions of the future I have are very brief and often very faint. Fraction of a second, that I only see a "picture" of it. The strongest ones last several seconds, look very real, and manifests in all 5 senses. There are quite a few occasions other people saw me react well in advance of what is to come like avoiding something that isn't there yet but will come later. "unfortunately" it doesn't always occur at a situation that can be of immense benefit to me such as avoiding an accident, etc.

If we are given means to see into the future, I suppose it's natural that we might see spiritual entities too. The future that is not yet "arrived" in a way, is like existing from another dimension, as do spiritual entities. I think it has something to do with the "unified field theory" in quantum mechanics - time and multiple dimensions are in many ways intimately connected - see the future and you may be able to see another reality existing from another dimension that may be coexisting with our own in the same location.

It is written,
Hebrews 9:27
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:​
However, if we pay close attention, we'll realize that the judgment hasn't taken place yet. We know that the saved are carried by the angels into the presence of the LORD. However, the Bible doesn't say much about the souls of the lost. We know that the rich man found himself in torments. However, is it possible that a lost soul be "abandoned" to roam the earlthy plane? It's "possible".

Also, when dealing with occult spiritism we read something interesting regarding the witch that conjured up the spirit of Samuel,

1 Samuel 28:11-14
11 Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up unto thee? And he said, Bring me up Samuel.
12 And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice: and the woman spake to Saul, saying, Why hast thou deceived me? for thou art Saul.
13 And the king said unto her, Be not afraid: for what sawest thou? And the woman said unto Saul, I saw gods ascending out of the earth.
14 And he said unto her, What form is he of? And she said, An old man cometh up; and he is covered with a mantle. And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground, and bowed himself.​
That word "gods" is, "'elohiym", a term used for "spirits", angels, etc. in ancient Israel. Essentially, when she opened the "door" between the realm of the living and the realm of the dead... the witch saw other spirits rushing into our world. Thus, when a witch opens a door to communiate with the dead it is possible that a "door" is opened in the spiritual plane that might allow human spirits to wander back into this world and seek out the home in which they lived prior to death.

A second type of "haunting" is a residual haunting. This is like a "replay" of events. The "ghosts" appear to be stuck in a loop. It appears that whatever happened was so intense, a spiritual (or psychic) impression was burned into the location that replays. Some think these spirits don't know they are dead and are somehow "stuck" in a constant loop reliving their death.

The final kind of haunting is connected to the possession of a home. A demon spirit might take up residence to oppress and finally possess an occupant. They might even impersonate the dead (familiar spirit).

All are adequately dealt through casting out in Jesus name.

Here's what I believe....
  • Devils - Fallen angels (includes Satan)
  • Lilith - Possibly an unclean spirit
  • Demons - Fallen angels (includes Satan)
  • Inccubi - Possibly an unclean spirit
  • Succubi - Possibly an unclean spirit
  • Unclean Spirits - Spirits of the unclean progeny between fallen angels and human kind described in Genesis 6
  • Possession - When a Devil, Demon, or Unclean Spirit takes up residence in a person to satisfy it's thirst for rebellion, sin, and debauchery
  • Ghosts - Human spirits that are cursed or self condemned to roam the earthly plane until they are set free
  • Hauntings - Areas where any on this list might abide
  • Witches - Those who are cursed by a generational curse passed down through their bloodline. These have special giftings to curse, speak to the dead, be fortune tellers, ward off unclean spirits, read omens, read minds, etc.
  • Vampires - Legend, perhaps a form of unclean spirit.
  • Death - Forgetting your wife's birthday. Can be avoided if banished to roam the night in search of a place to stay for the evening.

All parts are played by fallen angels....
All power comes from Satan alone in the cases above!

The dead do NOT come back from it and haunt people....


The woman opened a door and ONLY demon spirits were found.... Samuel did not appear.

We also see Saul bow to the witch another sign he had nothing to do with God here.

The devil roams to and fro the bible says

so does his demons..... And it wasn't Jesus who showed up at your house either
nor did you go to heaven..... It's all demons - not to say a Godly angel would not show but if their telling you new bible stuff then it isn't them....

The spirit MUST conform to the word! We know the spirit is true by the word he keeps!

Do Not think that an evil spirit won't tell you some truth in order to fool you...

I can say from experience that demons are invovled during Rodney Howard brownes 'live' shows through the so called holy laughter or slain in the spirit shows he does....

And so many Christians accepted the unbiblical spirit involved in this and laugh out of control.... And he wildly misuses scripture that somehow those speaking in tongues somehow acted in such manner as a drunk when they were simply speaking about God in other tongues - the only ones who talked about drunks were the scoffers.... He even tells people to stop prayering and let go and not to let scripture get in the way of the spirit


Most foolish thing you can do is take away scripture our ONLY guide to truth

I think many Christians call it "drunk in the spirit" "laughing in the Spirit". People shaking uncontrollably, babbling like a baby, etc, etc.

Actually, they claim it's in the sciptures especially since the disciples were often accused of being drunk by scoffers...

...However, I also believe it's taken out of context. If a person who rejects the Truth (scoffers) tells that someone is drunk, would you believe them to be saying the truth??

Who must we believe, Apostle Peter who said, we must be sober all the time or the scoffers who claimed the disciples were drunk (or lost control of themselves).

Did I caught anyone's attention??^_^^_^

The Gospel of Jesus is simply so radical that worldly people trapped in a materialistic mindset thought they have lost their mind since the message they speak is utterly alien to them, not to mention, their temporary ability to speak fluently in many languages. It has nothing to do with shaking uncontrollably, nor babbling!!

In fact:

Do not babble like the pagans!! (Matthew 6:7)

I have an idea about psychics but what are hauntings about. God says there is no other its just him. So why would he haunt houses? Does the bible talk about hauntings somewhere? If so, where?


First MANY are fooled into believe dead people roam the earth, I once did ,they don't! The first lie of false teachings, the “SOULS” are the ghost of the dead. NO!, the “SOULS” ,are living breathing, people , (Josh. [FONT=Times New Roman, serif]11:11), here...(James 5:20), here, (1Pet.3:20), here,[/FONT] (Gen. 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul). And (1Cor. 15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit). Jesus even showed the soul was a living being ,(Luke 12:19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry) ,i've NEVER heard of a ghost being hungry! Many misunderstand what Jesus meant here ,(Matt. [FONT=Times New Roman, serif]10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell). This just means man can kill ONLY the body, but Jehovah God and/or Jesus, can resurrect that person, or leave them dead, the “SOUL”, is now destroyed forever. Even animals are “SOULS”, (Num. 31:28 And levy a tribute unto the LORD of the men of war which went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, both of the persons, and of the beeves, and of the asses, and of the sheep).[/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]So NOW that we have scriptural proof of humans NOT roaming the earth, because there's NO ghost left from a dead body. The truth on psychics and huntings. Psychics , though MANY believe is of God, (Jehovah God ,Exo. 6:3), or Jesus, they're NOT! Here's scriptural proof ,([/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]2King [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]21:6) , (Levi. 19:31 Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God). and (Deut. 18:10-12 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch. Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee). These people get their “gifts”, from satan. He use them to make people believe the dead can STILL communicate with the living, which is a lie![/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]God doesn't hunt houses, lol, satan does. Again, satan goal is to make us believe the dead still walks and knows the goings on concerning the living not true ,(Psa. 146:4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish). And (Eccle. 9:5,6), which shows “ the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing”) also (verse 6), shows their emotions are also gone. If i'm to believe God as a hated of lying, and I do believe ,([/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Pro. 6:16,17), because satan lied on him ,(Gen. 3:4,5). then I MUST believe he WOULDN'T say the dead knows nothing, YET! ...He KNEW there are ghost of the dead that DOES KNOW! Again, ANY huntings, attacks of “ghost”, "seeing dead people", be-it good or bad, ISN'T them, but demons! It's so sad many of us REFUSE to believe satan and his demons can play “let's pretend”. The ONLY difference between, then doing this and a child doing it. Is the fact with kids it's harmless, With satan, it means our lives. Jehovah God has scriptures throughout the bible for those who's truly seeking the truth.[/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]And to answer your question, there IS a story somewhat which shows satan fooled one Jehovah's once, faithful servant Saul,([/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]1Sam.28:3-19),long story, but I’ll try to make it short! Samuel, a true servant of God. And Saul knew it was against God to deal with spirit mediums, psychics fortellers, etc. Samuel died, Saul ticked Jehovah God off ,by doing something wrong. so God wouldn’t answer his prayers, when he needed help against a strong wicked army. He went to a medium, who brought up what looked like Samuel. it WASN’T though, it was a demon pretending to be Samuel). Also see , (1Chron. 10:13 So Saul died for his transgression which he committed against the LORD, even against the word of the LORD, which he kept not, and [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]also for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif], to enquire of it). And (Gal. 5:19,20), speaks of the “works of the flesh”, one is witchcraft, which ISN'T the “work of the Spirit ,(verse 18). so again, many needs to learn the truth concerning demons and their tricks ,(Ephe. 6:11). it's them who's making it seem as though objects move on their own. and dead harming or loving the living. peace :)[/FONT]

Hi, hauntings are very much so real I have lived in haunted house and I have been on haunted land. Houses and land are haunted by spirits who are living limbo because they have unfinished business from when they were alive. Some spirits are evil and vengeful and some aren't. I believe the ones that are vengeful are the ones the ones from "the underworld". I am a just strating to get on the right track with God and I don't know the bible that well so I have no clue where they you could look it up in the bible. I hope my response helped you somewhat.

I am going to have to disagree with you on the fact that souls do not roam the earth yes a souls is a living person but a could also be a dead person. There are dead tormented souls known as ghost who do room the earth. I have the gift of seeing ghost and other "beings". They are not Godly but they do roam the earth I have had many encounter with them.
