I understand what you’re saying, but lately I’ve come to think otherwise. The earth has a spirit but objects like homes or ouji boards don’t. I read the account of the nde where objects can feel sin and mourn but I don’t believe it.Kit-OTW wrote: ↑June 15th, 2022, 9:29 amAfter personal experiences and reading some Near Death Experiences, I believe that if something evil is done in a place, or on something, that can become evil. We know that many "things" like trees and water and mountains are living and responsive to the voice of the creator. If that "thing" is sentient enough to recognize the voice of the Master, it is likely that they are sentient enough to know when they are being used for evil. On a large scale, we know the earth comes into commotion, when there is evil upon it, because we are told so in the scriptures. I have read of a desk or couch that was in mourning because of wicked use, seen by one in a NDE.Mamabear wrote: ↑June 15th, 2022, 9:02 amI don’t know what to tell you to do.Robin Hood wrote: ↑June 15th, 2022, 12:11 am I have my house on the market at present. The highest offer I have received is from a homosexual "couple". Their (cash) offer is about $30,000 higher than the asking price, and $65,000 higher than any other offer.
I have lived here for 29 years and raised my family here. I don't want my home to be defiled.
Should I sell to them?
But a couple of thoughts…. it will no longer be your home. It is only a place, a thing. Who’s to say it won’t be “defiled” in other ways if someone else buys it?
I’ve been thinking lately about this….
I think sometimes we, myself included, put too much stock in places, thinking churches, homes, etc can be holy or evil.
When in reality it’s people who are righteous or evil.
If people defile themselves somewhere, then I think the place remains neutral, because places don’t have a spirit since they aren’t a living thing.
As far as personal experiences, my family member lived in a house a long time ago. She noticed a significant change/problem in a specific area of the house. This area extended through both levels of the house. When the family member inquired about it from the former owner, it was admitted that someone had taken his life in that exact spot.
Portals are mentioned in the Bible twice. Because of a dream I had, I believe in portals. We can open good portals in our homes, or we can open evil if we choose to by viewing porn, or other sins. Do you not think, that Satan would love to mark his territories, by marking places or things with evil? For example, a ouji board is a thing and it is marked by evil.
Understanding this is important, because as children of the Creator, we can open or close portals by our choices. If we are righteously living God's laws, we have been blessed with the power to close evil portals. That is simply an extension of the concept of raising your arm to the square to cast out devils and unclean spirits.
Evil spirits can be anywhere, anytime. Spirits can go wherever they want to and try to influence whoever they may.
I don’t believe we can dedicate or bless places because they aren’t living and don’t have a spirit.
For example, a family moves into a house and blesses it. One of the family members starts using drugs or committing sexual sin in the house. Does the house become a place of evil or does the person? What if the husband has the Holy Spirit in him? Does it remain with him because he’s righteous but his house is defiled? I think it remains with him wherever he is regardless of his home where his child has chosen sin.
My point is, is that the Spirit is in people not in places, which is the same for evil….the spirit of the devil is in people not places.
