A lifetime of supernatural

My mother always spoke of the supernatural as if it were real, not commonplace, but real. She spoke of the time when a spiral followed by musical notes floated down her childhood house's staircase on Halloween. She also spoke of smelling her father's cigar scent after his death and feeling someone hug her, without seeing anyone hugging her and the sensation of someone getting up from the bed, again without seeing anything. She said my great grandmother talked to spirits.


The reality did not sink in until I had an experience of my own. But my experience was different. It wasn't just an experience. It was a life changing event. Before I go on, I want to quote a very important, practical Bible verse, so that you can understand what to do, the same thing that I did if you are ever in a similar situation:

1 John 4:1  Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

 

This not only applies to people who have spirits in them, but spirits without bodies that come. The Bible also says:

2 Corinthians 11:13-15    For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, masquerading as apostles of Christ. ¹⁴And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. ¹⁵It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.

It happened to me that I did not accept the spirit who was talking to me. I listened to what he was saying to me and I realized that he was not merely an ordinary spirit, but the true Holy Spirit, the Third Person of the Trinity. How did I know this? Being brought up Catholic and picking up certain things from parochial school and my mother, I knew there were certain characteristics that only God possessed. 

God dances to the beat of His own drum and He commands us to dance with Him (it's not a chore, trust me, it's actually fun). When you hear that beat that no one else is playing, but that God seems to recognize as part of His own personal style, then you know you're in God's country!

So when you hear a spirit say to you things that only God would endorse, you can sure bet it is the One and Only, God Almighty Himself!
