Haunted Houses

Please don’t think that I am weird. But some strange stuff is happening.

My wife and I were invited to a long-time friends house for dinner tonight. One of my mates from work/uni and one of my groomsmen. In fact I was sharing a house with him when I first became a committed Christian in my 20’s – but that’s another story.

After a couple of glasses of wine at dinner, I could tell that he and his wife wanted to talk. They confided in us that they have for some time being having trouble in their house. Hearing audible voices, cold rooms and electrical equipment suddenly coming on at anytime during the night. Their children are having nightmares and refusing to enter certain rooms etc.

They have also enlisted some spiritual professionals. A group known as the “Golden Dawn”. A simple web search reveals that this is a mystical/occult based group that is involved in Magick and things. (Obviously, sometjing that concerns me).

It is all odd. Apart from my nominal prayer life, some reassurances to my friends that I believe in the spiritual dimension and some advice that “Jesus is bigger than all of this” I have got absolutely no idea of where to begin to help them.

Sometimes I feel I have become a bit like an intellectual Christian, where there remains a huge gap between the theory and the practice.

But at the very least, the conversation led to spiritual reality, "Eternity" and the Lords Prayer,
