...Continued from my previous blog: "RISK."
What happened my sophomore year at the
University of Missouri, in Columbia, is not common knowledge. Somewhere
in the world there must be a few women who remember, but I haven't
spoken to any of them since I left the campus in 1968.
I was a reasonably "good" church-going college girl in 1968, with no knowledge of spiritual warfare, who came face to face with a real devil.
I was a reasonably "good" church-going college girl in 1968, with no knowledge of spiritual warfare, who came face to face with a real devil.
How do know it was The Devil?
He told me.
He told all of us in our dorm room on the 7th floor at Gillette Hall at the University of Missouri.
He spelled out his name on the Quija Board that we played with.
We thought it was a joke.
We laughed.
The board worked best when a girl named Pat and I put our hands on it. Someone else had to write down the letters because it spelled out messages so fast.
I actually thought Pat was pushing it to spell out things. Pat thought I was pushing it. Neither of us pushed it. Sometimes we didn't even need to put our hands on it. It began spelling things out when Pat and I sat down.
People were curious. Pat and I were invited to a college class (perhaps Psychology?) and wires were attached to us to see if the movement was voluntary or involuntary.
We all thought it was a game. It got us lots of attention. We learned firsthand the Quija Board is not a harmless board game.
Messages spelled out from the board said:
"I am Satan."
We didn't believe it.
It said: "There are spirits in this room."
The idea of supernatural spirits intrigued us. We asked how many spirits were in our room, and the board gave us a number that was one less than the number of people in the room.
The idea of supernatural spirits intrigued us. We asked how many spirits were in our room, and the board gave us a number that was one less than the number of people in the room.
It said: "Each of you has another spirit - - except for one of you."
It told each of us - by name - who our "other" spirit was. Some of us supposedly had famous or infamous departed spirits attached to us.
We asked why one girl didn't have a spirit.
It said: "She will have one tomorrow. A man will die tonight and she will have his spirit. Read the paper tomorrow."
It gave us specific details about the man.
We checked the obituary page in the paper the next day, and we found the name and details of the man exactly as the messages from the board predicted.
I did not realize until I became a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ (in 1973) and began to study the Holy Bible, that the idea of humans having "other spirits" was a direct and demonic counterfeit to the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
This entry into the world of supernatural spirits through the Quija Board was exciting and enticing. We never thought it was dangerous. In fact, it seemed to be helpful.
Once it said: "There is going to be a murder on the campus in Champaign, Illinois. Call the .........(name of sorority house) and warn them. Tell them to cancel a meeting they have scheduled for ....."
It gave us a specific date and time.
We called the sorority house; and gave them the warning from the Ouija Board. They freaked out when we told them the exact details of the meeting they had planned. Because of our call - they tightened security, and cancelled the meeting. I remember something about the police in Champaign finding and arresting a man outside the sorority house with a record of murder or assault.
We were hooked. Girls began asking it who they should date, and if they should do certain things, or go certain places or take certain classes.
We went farther and farther into darkness: ignorant to what was really going on.
We held seances. Seances are a meeting where a living spiritualist attempts to receive communication with the dead. It's something God specifically warns His people not to do - but I was ignorant of the warnings in the Bible. All my years in church did not prepare me for spiritual battle.
God tells us not to...
(Leviticus 19:31) practice necromancy (talking to the dead) or
(Leviticus 19:31) resort to "familiar spirits" neither should you
take idolatry or its mythology (Leviticus 19:4)
You must not (Leviticus 20:23) imitate the ways of idolators or practice their customs:
(Leviticus 19:26- Deuteronomy 18:10) divination, (Deuteronomy 18:10)
soothsaying, (Deuteronomy 18-10-26) enchanting, (Deuteronomy 18-10-11)
sorcery, (Deuteronomy 18-10-11) charming, (Deuteronomy 18-10-11)
consulting ghosts, or (Deuteronomy 18-10-11) familiar spirits and
(Deuteronomy 18-10-11) necromancy are forbidden.
My mother sent me an article that said the Ouija Board was evil, but I ignored it. Some girls depended on the board to help make their decisions.
Someone (maybe it was Pat?) took the board away, and burned it. People reported it cried out in the fire.
I left Mizzou in the fall of 1968, and for the most part - forgot about the Quija Board. I was given a Quija Board as a shower/wedding gift in 1970. It stayed in a box in the basement...until one night in 1973, when I took a Bible class on the occult.
Dr. William O. Poe, my pastor at Waldo Avenue Baptist Church, in Independence, Missouri, taught a class on the occult, the fall of Lucifer, and the doctrine of demons.
Dr. Poe taught directly from the Bible. You can read the verses for yourself. God and the devil are not equal in any way. God is the Creator. God never created the devil. God created the angels, and He created Lucifer, (son of the morning) the most beautiful of all the angels. Lucifer was the praise leader of the hosts of heaven whose sin of pride caused him to attempt to exalt himself above God - to be like God himself. He rebelled against God and led 1/3 of the angelic hosts to join in his rebellion against God. God defeated Lucifer and pronounced part of his punishment on Lucifer (who became Satan) and the fallen angels.
One of my heroes, Lisa Diesel, saw the presence of evil in Germany, during World War II.
I have seen videos on television from a Christian ministry who have actual footage of the green horseman riding up and down the train tracks in Germany during World War II. Are they real? Search them up and decide for yourself.
Please search my blog (at the right top of my blog) for more stories about Lisa and the 12 Disciples/Snipers, and their heroic acts in Pearl Harbor, Japan, and Germany. The USA government and military still has not recognized them for their acts of heroism, as teenagers, farm girls, who were sent into battle.

2 Corinthians 11:14
And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.

Isaiah 14:12 - 2
God forgave me of my sins when I became a believer in Jesus, and my sins were covered under the powerful blood of Jesus, but I continue to discover the amazing grace and power of my blood bought redemption. My eyes were opened that night, sitting under Dr. Poe's leadership. I realized for the first time how deep into darkness I had been in my college days.
I went home, searched until I found the Ouija Board, and made several attempts to get it out of the house. I was interrupted by phone calls, someone knocking at the front door, and my daughter needed my attention. Finally - I put the board, box and all, in a trash sack, and put it outside.
The next morning the trash man took away the piles of trash on our street. I walked outside and discovered the Quija Board in its box on my front porch. It was shocking. I had someone else take it away.
Satan, the devil, is also called the Lord of the Flies. The actual meaning is "Lord of the Manure Pile" - and what does manure attract? Flies.
Any occult activity that encourages talking with the dead, or calling spirits attracts demons - the same way manure attracts flies.
Evil is alive and present in our world.
One of my heroes, Lisa Diesel, saw the presence of evil in Germany, during World War II.
Lisa and the 12 Snipers/Disciples (women in USA military) saw Germans line up Jews and herd them into a train. Lisa saw a green horseman with fiery red eyes riding back and forth between the Germans and the Jews.
Lisa saw the green horseman again in a German village, once occupied by Jews, that had been leveled - burned to the ground. Only one man stood - a rabbi- in the midst of the rubble. Lisa saw the green horseman ride through the fire and cut the rabbi down with his sword. Lisa fired, but she was not able to take down the green horseman.

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood,
but against principalities,
against powers,
against rules of the darkness of the world,
against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God,
that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day,
and having done all, to stand."

Evil is present in the fallen world in which we live.
There are spiritual battles all around us - battles between darkness and light - good and evil.
You must make a choice.
Not choosing is a choice for the dark side.
"Beloved, believe not every spirit, but
try the spirits whether they are of God...
...Ye are of God...and have overcome them:
because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world."
Holy Bible
1 John 4: 1-7
Don't be fooled.
Don't be afraid.
"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear;
but of power,
and of love,
and of a sound mind."
Holy Bible
2 Timothy 1:7
