Blog 54: "Demon Names"

Demon Names
Recently, a child said to me,

"I know it's initials, it showed them to me."

This was a 1st for me. I was taught by a Pastor that it was good to know a demon's name because they all have one. When you know it's name, call it by their name and remove it. Demons hate humans knowing anything about them from their names to their demonic tasks against us. Tasks meaning their assignments to destroy humans. Although I always remembered learning this from that Pastor, but I never encountered a child who learned the name of a demon by asking it or seeing initials. This child, however, did see the initials and told me about it.

I think I was kind of shocked and sat there for a minute listening to she/he tell me more about their most recent encounter with a demon. I asked, 

"What are the initials?

The child told me the answer and I said, "Wow." I was honest and I mentioned to this child what I learned from the  Pastor above, but had not encountered anyone with this type of knowledge. Until that moment, this was unheard of for me which is why it was so fascinating. As we talked, I learned the physical description of this entity and this child was fully aware that this was a demon. Remember, older children call dark angels demons - to me. She/he admitted that it was a scary and dark presence, but did not talk to she/he or harm she/he at all. It just stared at she/he and continued to walk around the room. That probably would scare any Nebulous Child.

I had a feeling that she/he's family home had quite a bit of paranormal activity after listening to several stories of ghost sightings. She/he has siblings and they, apparently, can all see ghosts. I spoke to one of the siblings and together, both children experience paranormal sightings and activity within their home. This stops them from entering into certain rooms within their home. Each child is terrified to go into those rooms after seeing what they described as scary-looking and dark demons.

These siblings did speak to their parents about the visions and apparently, one of their parents saw one of the entities as well. The children shared that it freaked that parent out! This parent was initially skeptical, but as the sightings continued to occur, the parent softened to it and started to help to get rid of the ghosts. The other parent believed the children upon the first report of the sighting from the kids. This parent easily tells the stories of the paranormal activity and is not embarrassed or ashamed to admit that it happens to their family. Despite knowing about the entities within their home, both parents agreed that it is not easy to just pack up and move residencies. Ironically, the parents are also not afraid of demons and they decided to fight back against them with prayer, holy oil, and teaching Biblical principals to their children. This is not something that I taught them, FYI, but what they decided to do on their own to help their kids. 

A few weeks ago, I asked the children if they still see demons in their home and they said,

"No, they have not come back."

I mentioned to this child that they would not come back because they are not allow to do so, after she/he's parents cleansed the home. Despite that cleansing, I warned that it did not mean that she/he would not see more ghosts in various places that are not cleansed which lead this child to admit,

"I know. I see them at school and other places."
"I see ghosts all of the time."
"Some are God's angels, I can tell."

I asked if the demon with the initials paid a visit to she/he again, and the answer was no. I also wondered if that demon was in my office as we chatted, (recall that some of them try to do that when I am with the kids), and she/he said no. That's good! When this Nebulous Child is around me, we talk a lot about the history of she/he's ghost sightings and what they mean for this child. Keep in mind, this child is NOT my client. This is a child who attached to me, for some reason, and now we chat frequently. She/he has seen ghosts for many years and can control the visits with the assistance of she/he's parents. I listen to the stories and at times clear up some of the potential curiosity about interacting with those demons. I also make sure that she/he is being proactive about protecting him or herself from the manipulative tactics that demons can do to children. 

Parents of Nebulous Children
Rarely have I encountered parents who quickly believe their children's ability to see ghosts are true, and take action. The moment that the kids above disclosed this information to their parents, their parents started the cleansing process that they felt would help their family. I did not know this family when the paranormal activity started for them but I surely was proud of them. 

I would like to see you start a process to improve this plight for your Nebulous Children as well. Although we may not have the ability to remove this ability from your children, we can improve their daily living. What I share with you on my blog to help children cope with their ability to see ghosts, is what helped the children under my care. It will, however, assist your children too. Your religious preferences are a moot point to me. In practice, this is what I witnessed worked to improve a child's mental health, academic standing, behavior patterns, and social/emotional functioning.

This blog pertains only to Nebulous Children and does not mean that you either ignore other challenges with your children such as anger, inattentiveness, or any medical condition. For example, a child can see ghosts and still have ADHD. Or, a child can still have a medical condition and continue to see ghosts. I have diagnosed children with ADHD who can see ghosts, and we worked on both areas in treatment. Seek qualified medical doctors and therapists to address other needs for your children. My stories and solutions pertain to Nebulous Children who have persistent problems with their ghost sightings. Yes, I worked with children who became consumed with their ability to see ghosts, and made wrong decisions due to manipulation from their visions. Some of those same children had other obstacles outside of their ability to see ghosts. Still, I will tell parents to seek alternative treatments including medical when it is necessary and appropriate. My focus for this blog, however, is to tell Nebulous Children's stories about their ability to see ghosts - only.

The Screwtape Letters by C. S. Lewis
I highly recommend that you read The Screwtape Letters. This book was given to me by a Pastor to read in order to understand Satan. If you are reluctant to learn about Satan, then you are vulnerable to his steady path of manipulation. Learn by way of this book, Satan's standpoint in teaching a younger demon how to destroy a human's life. I learned a lot from reading this book, including why demon names are important.

My former Pastor had a vision for teaching me not to be afraid of demons when I encountered them through children, or when children told me that they see dark angels/demons. On this blog, I mentioned that this happened a lot to me early in my career, and my Pastor's plan seemed to include educating me in preparation for what I would experience. This book is not a fun read. It was not fun to write for C.S. Lewis either according to quotes of his interpretation of this book; his book, and it will make you put it down for a second. It will also make you consider some of the things that you have done in your personal life.

Do not let those thoughts make you stop reading The Screwtape Letters especially if you are working with Nebulous Children. I read this book years ago, and I think I will read it again for a refresher. The Nebulous Child above has numerous stories that I am planning to share with you. Although this child has seen some of God's angels, rarely does she/he discuss those angels more than demons. Secretly, I am planning to change that narrative. This is why I have to be educated and armed when working with Nebulous Children. It is also why you should be aware and armed as well. You will come across a Nebulous Child or Adult.

Be Prepared!
