Here' a recent story about a pleasant looking woman who murdered her children. She appears happy enough. But you can't tell from outward appearances what's in a person's heart, can you? It's likely her thoughts were as black as India ink.We especially like what this blogger wrote:
The only thing that could have caused this young mother of two to commit murder, then turn the gun on herself is clearly Satan.Amen to that!
Now, in light of the above and considering the late Melody Anne Bodine, do you remember the parable Jesus told about the demon possessed man?
When an evil spirit comes out of a man, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, 'I will return to the house I left.' When it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean and put in order. Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that man is worse than the first.Jesus' parable applies to women too.
Now, Melody Bodine never was a Christian. But while she was under the headship authority of her believing husband, she was "sanctified," per 1 Corinthians 7:14.
That doesn't mean she was "saved." (Saved from hell - see Romans 5:9.) It simply means, that like Noah's and Lot's family, God graciously protects a believer's immediately family for the sake of the believer. (It's clear from their actions that Lot's wife wasn't a believer. She looked back and was turned to a pillar of salt.)
Now that the late Mrs. Bodine has left her husband, she is no longer protected from demonic possession. Our blogger's opinion is that seven other wicked spirits have entered her latest incarnation as Melody Thomas-Morgan. Ask anyone who knew the old Melody and the new. They can tell you there's been quite a change. (Read her former church elder's statement.)
So, does she hear voices? Will Satan have his way with her? Time will tell. It always does.
