“Shields Up, Scotty”

Yes, my friend Bob came over and through the Lord Jesus Christ cast the entity out that was the dark ball of energy. Z was here and kind of grimaced as she looked on making the comment it was a nasty one. The area under my arm is healing quite nicely, thank you God.

There are several things addressed in the last post that I wanted to bring up. One is the concept of entities jumping from one person to the other. I have heard some people tell me that this can’t happen. I don’t know what planet they reside on, but on this one it sure can and does happen. There is an event in LDS church history where it happened. I’ll let you think about where, we’ve written about it I do believe. I’ve had people tell me their stories about it happening in their families.

A month or so ago another friend in our preparedness group asked for a blessing to have something cast off of him. Bob was there so I asked him to assist me. I have this problem that Z pointed out to me this past week. I assume that people come with understanding and are prepared to do things. That is not always the case, and you know what it makes “u” and “me” when we ASSume something.

Anyway, we laid hands on Bob and as the voice for the blessing, I cast off the offending entity and voiced whatever the Spirit said to say. Immediately after, they departed my home. Bob was staying at his brother’s house some ten to fifteen minutes away. By the time he arrived there he was really in a bad way. I was going to say that it seems he hadn’t quite shielded himself and the entity jumped to him. But that is not true. The entity had been destroyed by my guardian and sent back to hell. I felt that he hadn’t properly shielded himself so I went to pray and ask. After asking I knew there were several other things involved in what happened to my friend besides lack of shielding.

I asked my friend Z to tell me what she “sees” when she looks at the event:

“The darkness draws life energy from any nearby body to strengthen against being thrown out.  There are some nasty germs and assorted small bugs, we like to call viruses, tossed into the mix all to weaken the non-shielded. It can and will cause loss of physical strength or energy, a feeling of illness and assorted mortal troubles.  Hence, those who insist on working to address the stronger evil beings will pay dearly if they refuse to protect themselves.  So why are the “elders” of various religions seeming to be protected?  HAH… they often end up completely unaware with some, not so, cute entities in them and loss of life energy not to mention the fact the one, they were dumb enough to try to destroy, simply hid.  They may believe they are protected by simply believing they have some type of priesthood (no matter the source) or have a belief Christ will protect, when in fact they are not.  They end up as nice food for the darkness.”

If you want to “play” in this arena, you need to learn to shield yourself continually. Especially if you are going up against any kind of dark energy or evil. If you don’t know what you are doing, you will get burned. There are evil beings on the earth that you will not want to go against if you don’t have the required knowledge, understanding, and priesthood. Just because someone laid hands on you in a church or you feel you “received His anointing” doesn’t mean you have the authority to take care of the situation. When my daughter Denise came out of her coma without a veil we’d sit in church and I’d ask her how many men in the congregation had a priesthood mantel? She’d look around and reply, “Five or six.” And that was usually just Aaronic in many cases. We did this in many congregations we’d visit and it was always the same. Is that why Joseph Smith said that it is knowledge that will save us?

“Knowledge saves a man; and in the world of spirits no man can be exalted but by knowledge.” (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 357)

Before we venture to do anything we need to know if the Lord Jesus Christ wants us involved and get His permission. We’d better know how to shield properly, if we really have priesthood, or how about the needed faith? At least a rudimentary understanding of how evil works is surely required, the more knowledge the better. Is fasting required? For how many days? The Law of Sacrifice always enters into the equation. Or as I would often say, “What!!! Fasting?!”

It doesn’t matter on which side of the veil we find ourselves, we should always be in a learning mode and apply what we have learned.

A few years ago my wife and I attended a funeral of a friend that had attended some of the workshops we have done the past many years. Z was also there. After the service Z came up to me and said that our friend that had transitioned the veil had just told her to tell me that the first classes he had attended on that side of the veil after his mortal death were what had been taught to him in the “jedi” classes we held. He said it gave him a jump on the others. (Now that is funny.) We need knowledge, understanding and comprehension. The best place to get it is here and the reason we came into mortality is to gain a comprehension of these things. We are here to learn just as we do on the other side of the veil.

The largest chapter in the book Conquering Spiritual Evil is on shielding. I would suggest a review and even more important is to learn how to shield and do it. We live in hell here and the battles rages on. Though I know there are some men that believe they are so tough they would go into battle with just a loin cloth on.

Shielding can be used for many things in our lives. My middle daughter, Debi, came over the other day. She and her husband were cleaning out a huge clothes closet in her in-laws home. The dust had overcome her and she was miserable. She was worried because she had to go back the next day.

She showed up the next evening after having been at the in-laws cleaning for hours and exhibited none of the previous day’s problems. I asked her what she had done to not have the respiratory problems.

“I shielded myself against the dust. I also put a ‘hepa-filter’ shield over my face.” Now that was a smart woman. (Must be the genes, from her mother) She had zero effects from the dust. Pretty cool.

My friend Dave had gone with the Scouts in his ward up near Yellowstone a few years ago. The mosquitoes had just hatched and they were being eaten alive, even needed netting to be able to sleep. A few nights later the bishop mentioned that the mosquitoes seemed to be gone or at least were leaving the campers alone. Dave’s son quipped up and told the bishop it was his dad’s fault. The bishop inquired what he meant by saying it was his dad’s fault. He told everyone there that his dad had put up a shield against the mosquitoes and it was keeping them away. Now that’s effective use of a shield!

There are hundreds of stories about shielding, like when the deer was right in front of my car as I was going about 55 mph. I watched as the shield I had placed around the car swept the deer away and it ran off. They are fun to read about, but the bottom line is do we take advantage of a tool the Lord Jesus Christ has given us for protection? Not just for us, but as fathers and mothers with stewardship over our homes and young ones, it gives us the ability to help protect them from evil and darkness.

Please remember we are not allowed to shield others that we do not have stewardship over. That would require their permission. When our children reach understanding (yes, I know, some never seem to), they need to be taught how to shield and do it themselves. That is why I told Denise after that entity was cast off that she needed to shield herself, which she did.

If you feel the need to go up against evil, please get educated and know what you are doing. As Z and I have gone around and I have had the opportunity to lay hands on those that work in energy or healing, I have been amazed how many of them are full of all kinds of weapons, curses, entities, and so much more. I know that some of it because of the work they do. In fact, I haven’t laid hands on one energy worker or healer that has not had this problem and been clear.

That leads me to my last statement. Remember to cast out and clear yourself before shielding. If you don’t you will keep those nasty critters with you inside that shield. Now that sounds like a bunch of fun……
