The House of Spirits

Wow, I just finished reading my daughter in law's version of the experience they had in my chalet on Beech Mountain, N.C. I was not there at the time because I was called to help my aging mother in Bradenton, Florida. I was to be away while my youngest son stayed behind to man the fort.. He was attending college in Boone at Appalachian State. He had met a wonderful girl there in one of his classes who later became his wife.

At first when i was called out of town i did not want to leave the home to the college kids but Josh friends told me they would keep it neat and clean. Josh was to get some rent from them to help bevpearce1@gmail.comwith expenses.

One night I received a call from Joshua and he was all shook up. He told me that a terrible ghost like man had tried to kill Maritza with a long knife and that when he woke up to hear her crying and was trying to comfort her they both saw a DARK GRAY CLOUD OVER NEAR THE CLOSET Then he went on to tell me that the Ellis family who had lived there for generations had known for some time that Satanic worship had gone on in the house. A young woman we all knew who worked at the Police station up on Beech was renting the home for a while when she got so scared one day she called the police who searched the whole place and found signs of devil worship under the house.

All the while i lived there as a single woman alone I never saw anything because i was always having prayer meetings, Bible study, and cottage meetings from the small Baptist church i attended down in the valley town of Banner Elk. When winter came i started going to an all charismatic fellowship at a country inn with a really turned on dynamic Pastor. but this night i decided to call the Baptist Preacher down in the valley and ask him to go check on my son and the house and pray over it.He had a ministry for young college students as he used to be a wild kid himself.

Well, Don Holder drove up there with a new convert from AA and they sat and talked with the boys for about two hours. I do not think Maritza was there as she had her own apt in Boone. I also made some phone calls and found that my chalet had become party headquarters on Beech Mountain while I was gone.

I cut my visit short with Mom and rushed on home to get the charismatic members of my new church called The Mountain of Salvation to come over and exorcise the house.One lady was really scared but came anyway and brought her rosary with her.

Joshua who had attended a private Christian school from kindergarten thru 7th grade knew about spiritual warfare and he knew also that living a lifestyle not pleasing to God would invite evil in. I had always felt it strange that the people we bought the home from left in such a hurry. They never came back for precious artwork left on the walls or the linens and comforters that the Real estate office told us they would be back for.

Before my church people came one night after i returned home the attic door upstairs next to Josh room began to rattle fiercely..I went up the stairs and saw the sliding bolt on it moving as if someone trying to get out..I got so scared so I went and got my BIG GIANT GERMAN SHEPPARD MINDY out of the doghouse on the deck and took her upstairs with me and a big roll of DUCT TAPE TO PLASTER ALL OVER THE SLIDING BOLT. then called my Pastor who said to keep Christian radio on all night and take my Bible to bed. I read the Bible out loud and was able to fall asleep.

Next day in the evening about six of my brother and sisters in Christ came to cast out the demons.Pastor Haste Harrold could not be there due to another meeting or being out of town. He had trained us all in spiritual warfare and I was even a liturgical dancer at the time trained in the warfare dances. We did it by using every Scripture dealing with the authority the believer has and we also prayed in tongues which is a MIGHTY WEAPON FOR ONLY GOD AND THE ANGELS UNDERSTAND. The DEVIL DOES NOT UNDERSTAND TONGUES.

tHERE IS WAY MORE TO THIS STORY BUT I will not relate it now. I do know this. there is no such thing as a real ghost. Anything we see that may resemble a spirit is really a "familiar spirit which is in fact a demon in Satan's army. Lucifer, the brightest and most beautiful angel in heaven was cast out of heaven by God and he took all his followers with him which are his agents here on earth. There are forces of evil in the world and these are all Satans army. He comes to kill rob and destroy all he can. He does this by tempting us to do things we should not be doing. God wants us to l live a pure and holy life. i will post a poem that i wrote shortly called "THE COUNTRY PREACHER" You know those miners that were trapped for 69 days...several of them were unfaithful to their wives. one said in a magazine I read "I SAW THE DEVIL AND I SAW GOD AND I REACHED OUT FOR GOD...jESUS SAID " I have come to give LIFE and give it abundantly. FOR THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH BUT THE GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE THROUGH CHRIST HIS SON...AMEN AND AMEN
