Until Christ returns to us, physical death is a certainty. The Bible reassures us that “1For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: 2a time to be born, and a time to die….” Ecclesiastes 3:1-2 (ESV) and so the process of dying and what happens afterward touches every person no matter their age, race, nationality, culture, or gender. "What happens when I die and do I somehow live past physical death?" There are as many answers to this question as there are religions and even the atheist is forced to give an answer. So who do we believe?

Post Summary: I think it is safe to say that if you have a supernatural experience you will feel fear and anxiety. This is certainly true if your experience is demonic because demonic and tormenting spirits use fear as a weapon to control their victims. The purposeful production of fear by a spirit during a supernatural encounter is one way we can generally tell the difference between what is Godly or demonic, for as Scripture says in 2 Timothy 1:7(KJV) "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind" However, fear of the paranormal can have another even more devastating result, it can keep you from experiencing God supernaturally and that is exactly what Satan wants. What does it mean to fear God? When should we be truly afraid of a spirit? Check out the book to find out:

Post Summary In part 1 of this post I wrote about some of the actions which you should not take if you are being attacked by a spirit. Certainly removing such a spirit is difficult and can be a real spiritual battle. Do not forget that the attachment it has to this world is what is keeping it from hell and so it will fight with everything thing it has to stay put, though in the end it really has no choice. So the battle is on! The question is; how can you win it? Find out by reading my book. Anyone who is dealing with a tormenting spirit needs this information. The book does a better job of describing what needs to be done than this post did. Get the book and read it carefully to find your freedom from this type of nasty spirit.
