Month: February 2018

The story has circulated since President Trump’s Inauguration, January 21, last year. Now the account is gaining steam with at least one pastor claiming inside information that First Lady Melania Trump demanded an exorcism of the White House before she’d move in. According to the uncorroborated account, she had priests and pastors anoint the place with oil. The problem, according to this story, was images of gods and idols from the Obama days and Haitian witchcraft influences from the Clinton era. (The Clintons spent their honeymoon in Haiti and visited a Voodoo ceremony, an event Bill Clinton admitted to in his book “My Life.”) Melania, a devout Catholic, wanted the demonic stuff out and her new home cleansed. Since all these claims are off-the-record, it’s hard to know what’s true. If accurate, good for her, and good for American.

Tales of White House demons isn’t new. Some paranormal buffs believe it’s the most haunted building in America. Legends abound, such as the ghost of William Henry Harrison who died a month after his inauguration. Eleanor Roosevelt once claimed to have heard President Lincoln’s ghost pacing the hallways. As the tale goes, Winston Churchill refused to sleep in the Lincoln bedroom after seeing a ghost beside the fireplace. History does attest that Jane Pierce, the wife of President Franklin Pierce, invited spiritualists to the White House to hold seances so she could talk to her dead son. After the death of her 11-year-old child Willie, Mary Lincoln, enamored with spiritualism, also held seances to communicate with her departed child. Abraham Lincoln himself attend one such séance.

I don’t doubt that the White House has had demons in it, claiming territorial rights, based on the evidence above. In addition, Bill Clinton invited demons of lust into the Oval Office, during his trysts with Monica Lewinsky. Nancy Reagan’s embrace of astrology, especially her relationship with psychic Joan Quigley, brought in more evil spirits. But before we point fingers at Presidents and occult presidential shenanigans, we all need to get the demons out of our where we live and how we live. That’s why we are training hundreds of highly informed exorcists through our International School of Exorcism. Enroll today and get the demons out of your house and your life.

An encouraging word: WICKEDNESS IN SOCIETY

I read many Bible versions, but there are times when the old King James Version says it best, like in Psalm 12:8: “The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.” In short, wickedness easily prevails when evil men are held up as icons. What a picture of the times we live in. Our entertainment heroes treat women as sex objects. Our politicians lie and use spin-speak to cover up their deception. Even preachers hide their hypocrisy until caught. In contrast, Proverbs 4:18 declares, The path of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.

It happened again, in Parkland, just a 30-minute drive from my seminar, March 2, in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. By the time you read this, the death toll, initially set at 17, will likely be higher. This tragedy has been called “catastrophic” by USA TODAY and “pure evil” by Florida’s governor. Journalists, political pundits, and talk show hosts have been positing theories as to why it happened and solutions to prevent it from happening again. But most have missed the point. More guards at schools and better detection of mental illness may mitigate such carnage; however, the problem we face is not one of identifying madmen or restricting their ability to commit mass murder. We must look deeper at the moral conditions than spawn such killers.

Since 20 first graders and six adults where shot in Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012 there have been 239 more school shootings, with 438 being shot and 138 killed! There have been three mass shootings in the last four months. Those my age, and even those several decades younger, find such outbreaks of violence unimaginable. When I attended high school, we had no metal detectors at our school entrances. There were no armed security guards or police on duty at the schoolhouse steps. What’s changed isn’t the impulse of evil in the hearts of potential criminals. What’s different is the generational change in moral behavior.

Until recent decades, there were no wardrobe malfunctions at football games. No abortion on demand. No identity politics polarizing the left and right. No rap “singers” advocating the killing of cops. No basketball stars like Lebron James, who didn’t even finish high school and can’t speak a grammatically consistent sentence, cursing the President. No movies like “Pulp Fiction,” “Fast and Furious,” and “Kill Bill,” and no violent video games such as “Mortal Kombat,” “Thrill Kill,” and “Grand Theft Auto.” No legal, recreational drugs like weed.

Here’s what we did have: Everyone recited the pledge of allegiance every day; everyone stood for the National Anthem; prayer in schools; graduation with a baccalaureate service and a pastoral sermon. Our butts got paddled if we broke school discipline. (Yes, it happened to even me.)

What we face is a spiritual problem of moral rebellion, disrespect for authority, lust and greed at every level of society, and smooth talking mega-pastors who wouldn’t know a demon if it spit in their face. Consequently, demons run rampant with little restraint upon their evil. Here’s what will stop the killing: tougher drugs laws, faster sentencing of criminals, stricter behavior codes in schools, no-nonsense teachers, and more hellfire preachers. And a lot more exorcists.

An encouraging word: COMPARISONS

We are all prone to compare ourselves to others. The car they drive, the house they live in, what they look like are all factors we may consider when making comparisons. First Samuel 16:7 says, “The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” Remember that the next time you compare yourself to another person. As someone who counsels those with deep, dark secrets I can assure you that things are not always what they appear on the outside.

A recent news report was about as bizarre as it gets. A five-year-old child faces a lifetime of permanent disfigurement from burns, cuts, beatings and unspeakable torture because of a Voodoo deliverance. The Haitian mother of the youngster claimed that her child was behaving badly due to evil spirits. So, she took the little girl to a voodoo priest. The officiant blew fire on the child and lacerated her with a sharp object. All the while, the girl’s hands and feet were tied, rendering her helpless. Now, the mother and the witchcraft priestess are in jail charged with indecent assault and battery on a child. Ironically, whether the child had demons, she most certainly does now after being subjected to this satanic trauma.

Of course, the mother and priestess are to be blamed for this despicable tragedy. But should part of the blame be shared by American evangelical Christians, those who are supposed to believe the Bible, word for word? As pointed out in our International School of Exorcism, Level 1, Course 3, in the gospel of Matthew 7 of 28 chapters refer to demonic activity; in Mark’s gospel 15 chapters deal with the demonic, and in Luke’s gospel 8 of 24 chapters contain accounts of demonic encounters. That’s roughly a third of the chapters in the synoptic gospels.

There is no excuse when Christian leaders avoid the mention of exorcism’s importance in the ministry of Christ. Fewer searching people would be going to psychics, energy healers, and even Voodoo witchdoctors if they knew they could find help in churches. Whether or not such seekers of exorcism really do have demons isn’t the issue. The tragedy is that they can’t find legitimate answers in most of the evangelical community. In fact, anyone who approaches a Christian pastor saying they have demons will likely be treated as a nut-job or handed over to a psychiatrist without the slightest benefit of deliverance prayer.

I’m angry at the injustice of that little girl being tortured in the name of exorcism, but I’m even more upset at the neglect of this much-needed ministry among followers of Christ. You may think that God will severely judge that mother and Voodoo witchdoctor, but what does the Lord think of those in Christian ministry who fail to offer answers for the satanically afflicted, especially Christians who think they may have demons?

An encouraging word: Don’t Envy Evil

Psalm 37:1 offers advice we need to be reminded of over and over: “Do not fret because of evil man or be envious of those who do wrong.” Our celebrity-obsessed culture does the opposite. Take a glance at the Grammy’s or the Academy Awards and you’ll see the opposite of what God advises. In such showplaces, it seems as if the most outlandish and morally egregious behavior is honored. As Christians, we’re not to admire or envy such people, who often lead evil lives. Set your sights on godly examples and those who live scriptural lives instead of envying those whose fame is fleeting.

I’ve been reading again the gospels, for my own edification. Over a lifetime, I’ve read them many times, but this go-around is to see what fresh truths I can find. As I began Mark’s gospel, I was struck immediately that this account of Christ’s life is unashamedly a document about demons. Consider the evidence:

• Mark’s first reference to ministry by Jesus is an exorcism, the casting out of demons from a worshiping, godly Jew in the synagogue. (Our International School of Exorcism analyzes this exorcism in detail, especially pointing out that this man was obviously known as a devout follower of God who had never manifested demons before, until Christ was present.)
• Just eight verses later (v. 34), Mark recounts, that same day in the evening, Jesus “drove out many demons.” That’s a lot of deliverance in one day!
• Five verses later (a. 39), Mark says again that Jesus continued “driving out demons.”
• All total, there are 14 references in Mark to casting out demons.
• There are just 10 references to healing, and two to preaching.

What more incontrovertible evidence do we need? Yes, Mark isn’t the only gospel. Luke uses the word “demons” 18 times; Matthew 12 times. And how many times has your pastor used the word “demons” lately? How many times have you heard your favorite TV preacher refer to demons in the context of genuine exorcism and deliverance?

The documentation is overwhelming. Only John’s gospel goes light on this issue; but as Course 9, Level 1, of our School of Exorcism explains, the Johannine epistles and his Revelation frequently reference demons and Satan’s kingdom. If anything, the subject of casting out demons is OVEREMPHASIZED in the first three gospels, not under-mentioned. Should followers of Christ and Christian leaders do any less? Never accuse good deliverance ministries of a theological imbalance; the exegetical disequilibrium is on the side of those who neglect or oppose exorcism!

An encouraging word: REJOICE WHEN GOD TESTS YOU

Psalm 11:5 says, “The Lord tests the righteous” (NKJV). What’s the point of that? Why not leave them alone? Why not test the ungodly? Why try (KJV) those who are doing their best to serve the Lord? Because God wants us to be better, therefore He tests our faith. For our own good, He lovingly pushes us onward and higher. Perhaps He has more wonderful things in store for us and doesn’t want us slacking off short of the greatness of our goal. So, when the Lord tests you, rejoice. He’s putting His confidence in you that you’re capable of doing even more for him. The test is His way of showing that.
