It is hard to find adequate language for life these days.
How to convey the depth of these experiences.
I seem to be on a fast track of learning.
I work with a eleven people. Ten of them have these.
Me too.
Getting my own healing while helping others find theirs is a roller coaster!
At any given moment I find myself in the grips of contending through various and sundry emotion.
Grief. Sorrow. Anger. Determination. Awe. Lots of awe. Surprise. Shame. Compassion.

So, what are these?
These are human spirits that started out like you or me. Created by God. matched to a body and soul. Given time and a life. And free will.
But something happened. Something went terribly wrong.
Life in the body was lost.
And for some reason or another, they got stuck.
Some in the land. Some in people.
Stuck from entering eternity.
Stuck here with no bodily form.
And they do their best to find a way to continue that doesn’t leave them hopeless.
They exercise their will from within the space they now occupy. Only. It isn’t right. It doesn’t work. And its unclean.
They need to go.
Through what is called an eviction process.
Some are easier than others.
It is not about legal ground. They have none.
It is about a power encounter. God says go. They need to go.
Wild.
It gets wilder.

In Scripture when Jesus set people free, he rebuked and cast out a lot of stuff. It is interesting to note that the word demon is used, the word evil spirit is used, and the word unclean spirit is used, in different places.

So now there are tools to remove them. Rather, the tools were always there, but now we have rediscovered them.
The same way Egypt had to let God’s people go, these spirits need to let go. God provides help, when needed.

After the initial creepiness passes when contemplating a bodiless spirit of another human occupying me, the work itself is relatively simple.
It is just that every case is different so we need to lean on Jesus for each one.

Exciting, wild, sometimes crazy, and always interesting. Life in God.
