WHEN DEATH CAME TO THE DOOR—AGAIN!

In the last episode we began exploring how divine interventions can combat the impact of Evil. Many, many good people have missed the fact that they can be under an assault by the dark forces. Realize it or not, the attacks of the demonic continue day and night. An amazing number of folks believe in miracles but don’t recognize that the demonic is real also.

Last time, I wrote about the encounter that a friend had with a possessed young man. Our story involved an 18-year-old whose mother called Rev. George Blair about helping her deal with the son’s obsessions. George agreed to talk with him only to discover that the guy was standing there completely naked holding a butcher knife ready to stab!

George began talking and praying with Alvin but he didn’t put the blade down. For the next six hours the minister attempted to help the young man. What happened during those long hours?

Alvin slowly began to answer questions. He finally talked about his past and how he slipped into being possessed. Some of the time, Alvin mumbled incomplete answers, but George kept praying. After several hours, the minister noticed an unusual picture on the wall and asked Alvin where it came from. Several years earlier Alvin had gone into the southwest desert area. He found an old Indian shaman and spent the day learning the rituals some Navajos followed. Alvin seemed strangely attached to the picture. Alvin related that he and the shaman had exchanged gifts as he was leaving and that’s where the picture came from. Little did he know that Evil had been there.

Finally, George’s persistence paid off and Alvin was set free. The knife was put away and he dressed. As he was leaving, the minister asked if he could take the picture with him. Now a very different person, Alvin no longer felt an attachment to the scene and agreed for the minister to take it away.

George remained convinced that evil had in some way been attached to the strange composition. Once he returned home, he doused the canvas with lighter fluid and set it ablaze. Strangely enough, the painting wouldn’t burn. He tried several other ways to destroy the thing. Nothing worked. Finally, George buried the conveyor of Evil in the backyard and covered it with dirt. The picture’s influence was ended.

Was some of what happened to Alvin related to the picture? Apparently so. The design conveyed captivity even though Alvin couldn’t see the connection and the effect it had on him. Nevertheless, Evil can attach itself to things. But don’t worry as you have the power of the Holy Spirit to set you free. No matter what you might face, you can know that the power of the Cross defeated the Adversary. Just call on Jesus to provide cover. He always answers.

Don’t forget. Miracles never cease.
