Our blogger was listening to Coast to Coast AM the other night (which, interestingly, the late Melody Bodine, when she pretended to be a Christian, used to disparage for its para-normal bent). The show was about (Demon) Possessions & Exorcisms, and the guest was the Founder of Free Our Family, Bill Scott, who recounted an excruciating 18-month period when he and his wife invited a woman (Roxanne) who was demon possessed, and the member of an active satanic network, into their home.
Mr. Scott wrote a book about his experience. His publisher said he needed to get Roxanne to sign off on the book before publishing.
But Roxanne was long gone. Where to find her?
Well, Mr. Scott's wife had a brilliant idea, which had occurred to our blogger years ago.
Where do you find demons?
You find them in the Christian church! (Like, First Baptist Church of Prescott?)
Look, if you were the devil, where would you marshal your forces to do the most damage? Would you put a demon possessed man or woman in a desert? What good would that do? (No pun intended.)
No, if you're the devil, you'll put a demon possessed man or woman in the church! That way, you can mislead as many people as possible!
The Apostle Paul foresaw this and warned the early Christian Church, saying, "Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood.
I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. Even from your own number men [like so-called Music Pastors?] will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them."
Mr. Scott's wife's brilliant observation was that this demon possessed woman "always gravitates to the church."
Remind you of anyone? (Hint: Go to First Baptist church of Prescott and ask for Melody Thomas-Morgan.)
