Are ghosts real?
They are very much real and they reside in our Earth too. Often they are referred as, ‘Evil spirits’. Only the Holy Bible makes a reference to them and it alone tells us the origin and nature of these fiendish supernatural beings.
These evil spirits are live persons with physical bodies and they are not the souls of the dead people as some humans believe. [Incidentally, once dead, a human being could never come back to the Earth ever in any form] They are none but the banished angels from Heaven. There was a war in Heaven much before creation of Adam and Eve, Satan and some rebellious angels on one side and Jesus Christ and the remaining angels on the other side. Satan was defeated in this battle. (Read Revelation 12.) God opined that the vanquished could not live in Heaven any longer and had to be driven out. The fair minded God therefore gave a choice to Satan: “There are many planets in the Universe. To which one would he and his followers like to go?” “Earth” answered Satan and that’s how they are here. We don’t know how many of them were cast down. Possibly a few millions. Being ex-angels they enjoy some power too, very limited power though, once again accorded to them by the Fair God. And they are here to deceive the earthlings with the little authority they possess.
Angels are beautiful looking creatures, much more handsome than us men and women. But these banished angels have lost their charming looks and have been turned into horrible beasts. Don’t you ever ask any ghost to show themselves to you.
All the living human beings are their victims. They harass some people with strange ailments and physical torture. It is not known on what basis the ghosts select their prey but once they enter into their physical body they could attack them in various ways short of taking away their life.
The Gospels tell us how Lord Jesus Christ had driven them out of some persons seized by them and they obeyed Lord Jesus. Evil spirit have a good knowledge of the true God and they fear Him no end.
Christians are the ghosts’ special targets. In fact they detest the sight of Christians. It is my personal view that no ghost could ever approach a ‘believing Christian’ without taking permission from Lord Jesus Christ. And sometime, the Lord does permit Satan and his cohorts to test, tempt and trouble some of His followers but only in a limited way. Satan may choose those Christians who are weak in faith, to be ruffled by him and his members. But otherwise, every Christian is protected from the power of the evil spirits.
If you want to be free from the clutches of the evil spirits, put your trust and faith in Lord Jesus Christ and then you are absolutely safe.
