The big kids will be heading down to the National Youth Gathering next week. It’s never appealed to me to go. Though I don’t know specifics or have any personal experience being there, I know New Orleans is known for it’s darker energies and forces. One time my sister went on a mission trip there and for several years was oppressed by an evil spirt that would speak and cause seizures. They traced it back to New Orleans.

There was one time in my life where I feel like was possessed or under the influence of an evil spirit. She gave me instructions and I listened. The way it manifested was by being more sexual than I would normally be, mostly in speech. There are probably others that I haven’t been so much aware of that manifested in more innocent ways.

I do remember when that demon left. As far as I know the one with my sister has not troubled her for a long time. It’s good to be aware of demons so you can put them back in their place when necessary. Some though, like my sister’s, are harder to get rid of for whatever reason. When they show up in your dreams it is very apparent because they try to hurt or kill you. I was taught to say, “Jesus”, when that happens and he comes.
