The Devil & Karen Kingston

Viac o knihe

"There are two equal and opposite errors regarding devils," cautioned C. L. Lewis: disbelief in their existence and an excessive interest in them. Father Juan Cortes, a psychology professor at Georgetown University, asserts that all possession cases he studied can be explained scientifically, including Biblical accounts of "casting out devils." In contrast, Reverend Donald Basham argues that a significant part of Jesus Christ's ministry focused on exorcisms. He believes that by taking authority over demons in Jesus' name, he can achieve results that traditional counseling cannot. This authority is straightforward, as demonstrated in Acts 16:16-18, where the Apostle Paul casts out a spirit of divination from a possessed girl simply by commanding it in Jesus' name. Theologians agree that Jesus believed in demons, with instances of Him driving out evil spirits. Billy Graham supports this view, citing Matthew 12:28. Philip, another biblical figure, also exorcised spirits, healing many in the process. Kathryn Kuhlman proclaimed the possibility of casting demons out of bodies, while Evangelist Leighton Ford warned of the organized evil of demons. An unlikely trio of exorcists—representing different faiths—came together to help Karen Kingston, leading to a chilling three-day encounter with evil entities that ultimately strengthened their faith and resulted in a miracle.
