You, yes you, have a demon. Perhaps not everyone reading this, but the majority. You are demonized and don’t know it. Forget about the notion that demon-possessed people are like zombies from the “Night of the Living Dead.” In most cases, demons don’t display their presence to the unsuspecting. They hide. They burrow deep in the mind and emotions. They come out when it suits their purposes but otherwise work their evil schemes undetected. Demons are like a metastasizing cancer that is initially painless and unnoticeable, but in the end, left unchallenged, kills.

Some years ago, a reporter from the New York Times asked me, “What percentage of the population do you think has demons?” I answered that a least half are demonized. For a moment I felt unsettled to make such a bold claim. But as I reflected, I realized my answer was wrong. Not overestimated. Underestimated! Those with demons include good people, even godly people. In many cases the demons were ancestrally inherited. The individual lives under a curse because of the witchcraft of their forebears. Possessed people often live with internalized evil for so long that they don’t know their own identity vs. what’s demonic. This bondage can go on for years, even decades until something threatens the demon’s stealth strategy.

A person with a demon, including a Christian, may struggle with moral lapses of lust or battle recurring addictions. They may occasionally have fits of rage or dark depression. Relationships may constantly crumble. Sometimes, paranormal things happen which they try to explain away. If they tell a pastor they are likely told to pray more, read the Bible more, give more, or have more faith. They try that, but the torment and dysfunction persist. At that point, “Who you gonna call?” An exorcist! But those are few and most operate with scant experience and knowledge.

That’s why we established the International School of Exorcism and the Advanced Academy of Deliverance and why we daily minister by virtual encounters. If your life is troubled, and nothing has helped, move beyond the “not me” attitude to considering prayers of deliverance. Healing is at hand. Freedom is available. Liberation from lifelong struggles is near. Be willing to admit that you might have a demon and contact us immediately! Health, hope, and victory over evil awaits!    

Joe Biden is cursed. That’s not a political statement. It’s my analysis as an exorcist. He’s not the first President to live under a curse. For decades the Kennedy was said to live under a curse. There are more than a dozen untimely deaths associated with the Kennedys. Here are the ones most remembered:

• August 12, 1944: Joseph P. Kennedy Jr., oldest son of the clan, died in WW II when the plane he piloted exploded. His sister Kathleen died in a plane crash in 1948.
• August 9, 1963: Patrick Bouvier Kennedy died, the first child of then President John F. and Jackie Kennedy.
• November 22, 1963: US President John F. Kennedy was assassinated.
• June 5, 1968: Robert F. Kennedy was shot and died the next day.
• April 25, 1984: David A. Kennedy, son of Robert Kennedy, died of a drug overdose.
• December 31, 1997: Michael Kennedy, another son of Robert, died in a freak skiing accident.
• July 16, 1999: John F. Kennedy Jr., his wife, and sister-in-law were killed in a plane crash.
• September 16, 2011: Kara Kennedy, only daughter of Ted Kennedy, died of a heart attack at 51.
• August 1, 2019: Saoirse Roisin Kennedy Hill, granddaughter of Robert Kennedy, committed suicide.
• April 2, 2020: Maeve Kennedy Townsend McKean, another granddaughter of Robert F, Kennedy, and her 8-year-old son Gideon died in a boating accident.

What about the Bidens?

• December 18, 1972 Joe Biden’s wife Nelia and 13-month-old child Naomi were killed in a violent car crash.
• May 30, 2015 Joe’s son Beau died of brain cancer.
• Joe’s son Hunter abandoned his wife and three daughters to take up with his brother’s widow. During that time he fathered a child with another woman. He developed serious drug problems. The Navy Reserves discharged him for cocaine use. More recently, pictures and videos emerged of Hunter using drugs and engaging in pornographic sex acts.
• Ashley Biden, Joe’s youngest daughter, has been arrested for drug use and videoed snorting cocaine.  

When people ask me, “How do you know if someone is cursed?” I answer this way. Consider the facts, the forensic evidence of all the tragedy and trauma associated with a bloodline. If the magnitude of bad things is outside the normal, statistical probability of what could go wrong in any family, at least some of the bad stuff is the result of a curse. The Kennedys were cursed. Apparently, so are the Bidens. This is not a political indictment It is a warning and a call to prayer for the Biden family. Someone needs to tell Joe Biden that, until the curse is broken, more tragedies may be on the way.

Acts 26:18 is a scripture that every pastor in every pulpit needs to be reminded of. Paul had gone to Jerusalem to meet with the church there. While in the temple area, he was seized by a mob that was stirred up by members of the Sanhedrin, the highest court of Jewish justice. The Sanhedrin inflamed the crowd so much that forty men took an oath to kill Paul. When the Romans learned of it, they transferred Paul to Caesarea, an ancient port city near Haifa, Israel. The high priest of the Sanhedrin came there to press charges against Paul. He presented his case to Felix, who was the Governor of Judea. Afterwards, Felix put Paul in prison for two years, but did not send him back to Jerusalem where he would have met certain death.

Eventually, Felix was replaced by a new Governor, Porcius Festus who again convened a court to hear the charges against Paul. He appealed to be judged at Caesar’s court. A few days later King Agrippa came to see Festus, who told the king about Paul. Before these two rulers, Paul shared the story of his conversion. Paul quoted the exact words Jesus spoke to him during the heavenly vision on the Damascus Road. The Lord declared that He was sending Paul to the Gentiles with this express purpose: “To open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God.”

Inherent in this one statement are these truths:

1. All religion that is not of Christ is darkness. There is no room for the moral pleasantries of good intentions and good works. Rejection of Christ as the Son of God is total darkness.
2. Satan is acknowledged as having power. Removing souls from such supernatural bondage requires more than conversion and confession. There must be total freedom from all the bondage of demons, generational curses, and sins of witchcraft.
3. To free people from Satan’s power often requires more than baptismal water and the reciting of a creed. We must battle with the demons of hell and overcome Satan’s power by the power of Jesus of Nazareth. We must turn them from the devil’s power to the Lord’s omnipotent might.

Witchcraft is the dominant religion of America. By popular designation it is the use of spells and supernatural skills to manipulate reality and consciousness with summoning rituals. I use the term “witchcraft” in the broader biblical sense encompassing all forms of the occult, sorcery, necromancy, spiritualism, wicca, satanism, divination, and New Age practices. Such indulgences are usually facilitated by a psychic, channeler, medium, shaman, energy healer, or witchdoctor.

How has witchcraft, in the biblical sense, gained so much popularity? What happened to rational thinking? We’ve gone from the scientific mindset of Isaac Newton, a devout Christian who discovered gravity, to the godlessness atheism of Stephen Hawking; from astrology to astronomy and back to astrology; from the scientific method of inquiry to ghost-hunting TV shows and the Christian adoption of yoga.

Witchcraft was not swept away with the 17^th century witchcraft trials of Salem or the rise of secular humanism. Today, 20% of Americans believe in witches and nearly two million openly practice the craft. The same demons behind the occult oracles of Greece’s Delphi, 700 years before Christ, are active today in our secularized society. Every day, as I minister in virtual encounters, I cast out demons from Christians who have dabbled in witchcraft. They were tricked into consulting a fortune teller or psychic because they wanted relief from physical or emotional pain, or they wanted to make sense of a disrupted life. Many of them say, “In all my years of attending church, I never heard a single warning about witchcraft and the occult.” That’s disgraceful! With our School of Exorcism, we’re doing all we can to change that. As the devil rises full force during these Last Days, we must fight harder than ever to combat the return of witchcraft.

Halloween has come and gone with its shredded sheets hanging from trees symbolizing ethereal specters. Artificial apparitions aside, are ghosts real or subconscious projections of human thoughts? The online journal Tech Times reports that 43% of Americans believe in ghosts. The idea of ghosts is as old as Homer’s Odyssey and as recent as the tales of Edgar Allan Poe and the “Goosebumps” anthology of author R. L. Stine. Shakespeare added to the idea with the dead king of “Hamlet” roaming about Elsinore Castle. If authentic, then where do ghosts come from and what is their intent?

Scientists say it’s all in the mind of the beholder. Many ghostly appearances are likely metaphysical conjurations of thoughts. Other ghosts spring from psychotic and delusional states of the mentally unstable. The popular idea of ghosts, taken from psychics and movies, is that appearances of shadowy figures is a projection of extra-dimensional consciousness, departed beings stuck between this life and the next. Paranormal investigators seek traces of them with night vision goggles and thermal imaging. Some even seek sex with ghosts. But such phenomena must square with the scripture in Hebrews 9:27, “It is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment.”

Ghosts are not the dearly departed who failed to “cross over.” The are not wandering souls caught between earth and wherever. When real they are almost always demonic. (The only rare exception would be a discarnate state of consciousness, such as a generationally dissociated identity “haunting” the mind of the victim. As such they would not take visible form.) Hunting ghosts or seeking to connect with them leads to demonic possession. Some past existential evil (e.g. a murder, suicide, occult act) may have given them the right to frequent a dwelling, a property, or some physical dimension. Ghosts are never friendly and never benign. I’ve done countless house cleansings and actual exorcisms on those who thought otherwise. Ghosts aren’t real, except as supernatural, demonic manifestations. In that case, they are spiritually deadly.
