Spirit Chronicles: Gingerman

Featured

My wife and I were on a mini vacation to the North Carolina mountains in a small cool town called Banner Elk. In this small town is an old very haunted hospital called Cannon Memorial (check it out on youtube). This place has been on several top ghost hunting shows on various channels. I actually spent a week in that old hospital back in the mid 1980’s with a severe head injury and while in there I had several odd experiences. As we entered the town limits we drove past the old place and I immediately picked up on a heavy spirit load. This means that I got heavy chest pressure, a headached and breathing problems.

This happens when I am surrounded by bad spirits that mean harm to people. The old hospital has a history of hauntings, documented pictures, sightings and other paranormal expereinces. This feeling of spirit told me that something or many somethings knew I could sense them and they came to me to try and communicate or harrass me. I pushed them away as I do with negative spirits and drove on past the place. Later that night about 12:15am as I preparing to go to bed I saw a tall red headed man standing beside my bed. He was holding a little girl and both of their faces were deformed which signifies to me a lost or mean spirit. I see them for what they really are due to my abilities and gifts.

The tall man looked at me and pushed the child towards me and it cried and screamed at me with an horrific smile with nasty teeth. This told me that it was not a real baby but a trickster spirit using the image of a child to try and fool me. Sensing that both wanted to harm me I immediately went into attack mode which is the typical response for me. It is a response of fight or flight and I usually go after it first to let it know that I am not afraid of it. I took a swing at it and it moved away and growled at me. I began to command it to leave me alone and leave the room and house immediately in Gods name. It growled and mocked me when I spoke the Lords Prayer. I continued to pursue it and read Bible verses to it and it left because no spirit can stand to Gods word.

The next day I was meditating near a river to cleanse myself and I heard my spirit guide say that was the Gingerman. I went back to the room and did some research and found several references to the Gingerman. None of the them seemed to tie directly to the old Hospital but I am sure that is where this came from. So I called on my Angels and guides to show me more and I had a dream the next day about the old hospital fourth floor. Turns out I was on the fourth floor when I was in that old hopsital many years earlier when I was in my early twenties. The Gingerman is still to be figured out, but the feeling I have is he was one of the negative people that died there before the place closed and he is now a wandering spirit in that old Cannon Hospital. I will continue to work on this story and find what happened and who the Gingerman is.

Spirit Chronicles: E6 The Armour of God With Me Always

A few nights ago I had a bad experience with a demon that attacked me and tried to hold me down and beat on me. I ran it off and prayed to God for guidance, grace and mercy. I asked him for protection as this was the strongest demon I have faced yet. I went to sleep and soon dreamed that I was outside at my grandmothers house playing in the back yard with my cousins and I saw a light bubble appear in the tree near me. I pointed to it and asked everyone if they seen it, but noone could but me.

Sitting in that bubble was an ancient spirit that I saw as God and he looked at me smiled and said “E6”. I looked to my right and left and saw demons coming at me and God took his hand and swiped them away and they were gone. I saw “E6” again and the bubble closed and I woke up. I immediately wrote down what had happened in this vision and told my wife about it and she said she could see me smiling as I was dreaming. I felt so happy and soothed that God was with me.

I got my Bible out and went to look at Ephesians 6 and the chapter deals with demons and Gods control and command of them. It was a clear sign that God had heard my plea and answered that prayer by telling me to read his word. Folks, it all fits together and God has our back. Demons will come at us, but we must know that God is with us all the time and will handle them for us on our behalf. I sleep now knowing that God is in control. Read the Bible verses below and make your own judgements.

The Armor of God From Ephesians 6:10-17

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

Spirit Chronicles: Eight Foot Demon Spirit

Last night as I laid in bed trying to go to sleep I kept hearing something bang on the ceiling of my room upstairs and it was persistent. I get a lot of spirits around me and many of them will make noise to get my attention. This one was very loud so I told it to go away that I was very tired and did not want to mess with it that night. Little did I know this thing was mean and nasty and the strongest one I had ever dealt with. I have been making a transition to the light of goodness for some time now and demons will come at me to mess with me and try to frighten me.

They sense that I am working for the greater good of humanity and the light and will attack me to try and slow me down or discourage me. I fell asleep and immediately saw an eight foot tall dark spirit walk past the foot of the bed. It came beside me and began to hold me down and press on my chest really hard. I can usually fight them off physically but this one was big and stronger than I suspected and caught me off guard completely with their strength and meanness.

As I struggled with it I began to tell it to leave me alone and forbid it to touch me or my family and commanded it to leave in Gods name. This really pissed it off so it pressed even harder. I looked at my wife and she was asleep and couldn’t hear me ask for help. The fact that it held my arms down was very scary as this normally does not happen. My heart was racing and I was getting stressed out. I started to say the Lords Prayer which is the best way for me to fight things like that off. This makes them really angry but they cannot refuse because God and his spirit has reign over all living, dead and undead.

I spoke the prayer twice and the second time it was like a horror movie with the demon mocking me and saying it with me as to mock God. Then I felt the spirit of God hit me and the demon screamed in anger and let go. It can mock God but cannot fight the spirit of the holy one. I continued to say the Lords Prayer and grabbed my Bible beside the bed. I sttod up and my wife woke up and I told her what had happened. She could see that I was physically shaken and frustrated with what had happened.

I went around the room saying Bible verses telling the spirit to be banished back to hell where it came from and to never come back to me again. I could feel it hanging back and slowly fading away from me as I read the scripture to it over and over. It went away and I blessed the room. I got up took a good warm cleansing and prayed to God for protection and blessings. I will see if it shows back up tonight but I doubt it. I generally can send them away for a long time. Lets hope this one is gone for awhile.

Spirit Chronicles: Crying Young Lady

I was asleep and I got up to go the bathroom about 3:15am and as I walked into the hallway I felt spirit come to me and touch the top of my head. After using the bathroom I acknowledged the spirit that I felt it and ask it to present itself to me only if it was of good intention. As I closed my eyes and began to fall back to sleep I saw a young lady about 21-25 years old. She was blond haired with blue eyes. She was wearing a brown sweater that came up on her neck and a white pair of spandex pants. She also had a light brown pair of Uggs on also.

She stepped near me but stayed away and stood there staring at me. I sensed that she was a kind spirit and needed my help. I asked her to come closer to me and she stepped forward and I could see that she was distraught as if she was lost and wandering around. Then she looked at me really close and all I saw was her pretty face a tear coming down her left cheek. The tear drop was real big and flowing down the side of her cheek. She backed away from me and stood there waiting for me to do something.

I told her to walk towards the light and ask God to take her to Heaven. I said a prayer for her and she smiled and turned to walk away. I then saw a few bright white shadows appear in the tunnel of light and they took her to Heaven. She was a sweet spirit that had been stuck in between here and there. Her sadness was obvious and she missed her family. I awoke and she was gone and felt good that she had been helped. I am glad the young lady went to Heaven and found her smile and happiness. I do not know why she was there, but I am glad she showed up.

Spirit Chronicles: Tired and Afraid

I had a dream that I was very tired and stuck at the bottom of a mountain. It was a long ways to the summit and had to be climbed to get to the other side. My left hip was hurting really bad and I looked up and thought “I may not be able to do this”. But I knew I had to try so I began to climb the hill step by step, foot by foot until I started to struggle. I looked to my left and a man was standing beside me and was smiling. I get this smiling man alot and he is one of my guardians and he was urging me to keep pushing and not give up.

I looked to my right and there stood another guardian, a female spirit that is ancient and she shows up when I am in need of motivation and inspiration. She looked at me and pointed to the top of the mountain which told me to push onward. My hip hurt so bad and I struggled up the hill, bit by bit stopping as needed until I made it to the top. I had a wonderful view that was only of God waiting for me. Everywhere I looked I saw beuatiful white light, wonderful white clouds and crystal blue skies.

Then I looked down the mountain trail was steep and thin but I knew I could do it. I began down the mountain and I fell and landed on a ledge overlooking a beautiful waterfall. I gathered myself, stood up and pushed down the mountain with my guardians in tow. We made it to the bottom and my hip, knee and back were hurting really bad so I laid down in a field of yellow, purple, red and green flowers to rest. I looked up and the sun went down behind the mountain and I fell asleep lying there.

Spirit Chronicles: The Many Faces

I sat down to meditate the other day and felt lots of spirit around me. It was an unusally strong day for me and I had alot going on around me. So I wanted to relax, listen to some music and chill out. As soon as I got comfortable and relaxed I immediately began to see people all around me. They were coming at me in large numbers and it became overwhelming. I was mentally tired from a tough week at work and this made me even more tired and it was harder for me to block them out.

The first one was a short older man dressed in shorts and a tennis shirt. He was walking on a cain and came up to me and just stared at me and smiled. Then a young middle eastern lady came to me. She had brownish skin, heavy blue eye shadow and bright red lip stick on. She glanced at me and moved on quickly. Then a man and woman stepped forward and they were older folks and likely a couple. They were holding hands and standing there staring at me from a distance.

I pushed all them away and then a child came through and just stood there at my feet and looked at me. It was a little girl and she was dressed in clothing from the early 1900’s. I asked her what she wanted to see how she reacted. Many times bad spirits will present themselves as a child so I always test them to see what they want. This child immediately moved on. I opened my eyes to reset a bit and felt a strong spirit in the room. So I closed my eyes and asked anyone near me to show themselves to me. That is when my spirit tunnel really ramped up and became very bright purple and blue. My spirit tunnel comes to me and it is a literal tunnel that spirit moves in and out of.

At the end of it is a bright and warm light. That is how spirit moves back and forth to me. I see the tunnel and then spirit shows themselves to me by image, face, a sign, a number or a name. I had taken a week away from things because I was very mentally tired. Now spirit is coming back to me because my guards are down and guardians are allowing spirit to flow to me once again. I am learning to block, recieve and send spirit messages one day at a time. This spiritual journey continues day by day, experience by experience and blessing by blessing.

Spirit Chronicles: The Four At the Top of the Stairs

Featured

I was mediatating, praying and meditating the other morning and spirit hit me really hard. I knew it was a strong spirit so I asked it what it wanted. I then heard the spirit say “the four at the top of the stairs”. I asked who I was talking to and spirit said “Jack”. I asked Jack if he was one of the four and he showed me a hand pointing to the top of the stairs. I asked him who he was with and he said, “anibelle”. I ask what he wanted and he showed me a sign of heaven. Jack was a wandering spirit that is between here and heaven in the spirit realm and he is with his family.

I did some research and found a local family where the dad’s name was Jack, the wife Anibelle and they had two kids. I went back the next day to the top of the steps in the house and asked Jack about what I had found but they were gone. I am not sure if they were really in the house or just wandered by in the spiritual realm. I was having an extra strong day that day and seemed to picking up lots of spririt activity and with the massive power lines on our property that is like a major spirit highway. The power lines provide the power and energy for spirit to talk to me.

I will continue to see if Jack shows back up soon. I have had hundreds of spirits contact me in the last several months with most being breif visions or dreams showing me themselves or a sign. I often hear them, see them and pick up on their energy outside. Jack and his family are at the top of some stairs waiting for someone to help them get into the light.

Spirit Chronicles: Spiritual Support from Beyond

Featured

One of the things that I can sense, feel, detect, pickup on and see is spirit that surrounds people all the time. This is spirit that has moved on from the earth and are now part of the spiritual realm from Heaven to the earth. Spirit is in constant motion and flows to and from what it considers to be Heaven and the earth. These are generally loved ones that have departed this life that hold special feelings and love for those of us left on Earth in this realm. It is typically an immediate loved one and at times may be someone that has been assigned as a guardian Angel.

I have several gaurdian Angels that have moved on and feel them around me often. My mom and dad are two of my guardians combined with a great grandmother and an old man from the past that watches over me. I have a friend that knows about the spirit gift I have and everytime I see him spirit wanting me to communicate with them comes at me hard. They touch my arm, mess with my hair and send me messages that they are around. This week I was talking to him and felt the same spirit that shows up and immediately started rubbing my head because it tickles me. He recognized that I was having a spirit moment and smiled and started to walk away.

He is a great friend and very supportive of me but it creeps him out a bit when this happens. Unlike many gifted spiritual people I do not immediately hear voices or see the folks as my skills are still growing and I have not been able to hone in on spirit signals like many that can do that. I simply feel them touch me, walk up to me and on occasion catch a quick glimpse of them. I am intrigued by this situation with him and want so bad to be able to tell him who it is. Often I do not let him know that spirit signal is happening out of respect for him and not to mess with his mind any.

As I write I feel spirit touching me right now and I know it is a good spirit and it feels like one of my guardians. But it could be any spirit as we live on a property with huge power lines that carry tons of energy that spirits can use to signal with. It takes tremendous energy for them to do that before they and myself get very tired. It happens all day long at random with those I know and do not know. Somtimes it ovewhlems me and I just have to clear the area. Since September when I died and came back during a procedure I have developed or had the following spirit signs.

Dreams, Visions, Spirit Touch, Poking Me, Quick visual imprints, Vocal Signs, Tunneling (I see a tunnel of light full of spirit) and several other spirit signals. I am working to hone in and figure out what I am and who I am and how I can use this gift to help people find God, peace and blessings from those that have departed. Along with this comes the bad also. The occasional bad dream, demons messing with me, temptations and mean spirits literally punching me in the gut, stabbing pain, headaches and body pain. I can ride by an area where a bad wreck happened and pick up on the pain felt. That sucks at times, but it is part of what I am now. I am protected by Angels, Guardians and God and blessed to help those that might not otherwise be able to help themselves.

I pray each of you have peace, prossperity, strength, good health, emotional stability and the vigor to pursue life and your dreams with Gods help.

Americana-My First Car

Featured

Scrolling Facebook this morning and I see a post about your first car. The picture in the post is actually my first car. It was called “The Bean”. Only difference was I had mag wheels on mine. Before I got it it looked like this. My friends and I made some good memories in that little car. I believe I drove it to the Prince Purple Rain concert with a few folks that are friends on here. The motor died in it near Yadkinville on the way back to App State one winter Sunday and dad got rid of it for me.I remember wanting a fancier car and my parents taught me a valuable lesson I still remember to this day.

I had seen a really nice looking truck down the road for sale and as my birthday came closer I kept telling them what I wanted. My birthday arrives and my mom comes in my room early and says get up and go outside your truck is in the driveway. I jumped up and ran as fast as I could and sitting in the driveway was a truck (beautiful shiny brand new out of the package hot wheel truck). Then dad came to me and said that is what you wanted, but mom and I are getting you what you need. Dad passed in 2009 and when mom passed in 2017 I found that little hot wheel truck.

She had packed it away for me to find years later. I have that truck now and use it as an example when I teach my lessons on “wants and needs” at school. I am thankful I had such great parents. My kids at school get those fancy shoes and I will ask them how much they cost and they say like 300.00. I tell them I like my money in the bank and not on my feet. I had a fellow a student come see me this week and he told me he was working, saving money and doing good. I looked at his feet and smiled and he said, yes coach, I also like my money in the bank and not on my feet. Then he said, I wasn’t always not listening to you in class. Life lessons we learn, live and pass into the next generation are special and needed.

Spirit Chronicles: 12 Angels and The Message of Acts

Featured

I went to bed and said a prayer for guidance and a sign from God about whatever he wanted me to see or tell people. I fell asleep and immediately had a dream about Angels and the Acts in the Bible. I asked the Angel what the message was and he told me that nothing would happen until the Acts were finished. I went back and read the Acts again to see what I could get from that information. The dream was 12 Golden Angels standing around the thrown of God. I could make out the Angels and see the Throne but the light was so bright that I could not stare at the area if the throne. It was a beautiful light that I wanted to go to and as I stepped towards it that is when the Angel told me “not until the Acts are completed”.

The book of Acts was written with several key messages and themes. The main theme that hit me was that in Acts the 12 Disciples were established. The 12 men I saw may have been the Disciples of Jesus. Acts speaks to the establishment of the church and the founding beliefs of Jesus and his influence on the nations. There are five key principles to the book of Acts. Prayer, witnessing, the established church, the Holy Spirit and the growth of the church across the world. Acts tells us about Jesus ascension into Heaven and how he becomes the right hand of God the father, son and holy ghost.

I beleive this dream was a biblical message that the church still has much growth to do and that the world has turned its ways from God and growing the church and the spirit of God. The 12 Angels are holy and assigned to bring the message and peace of God to the world. I will be reading the book of Acts again and know that this message is direct and to the point that we the people need to turn to God and do better as a whole. We need to seek God and be disciples of his word. Angels in your dreams are a sign of divine intervention and spiritual awakening.

The number 12 signifies a need to focus on spiritual growth, physical health and emotional stability in life. 12 means big changes in life and spiritual awakening. I have been experiencing that growth since I died during a heart procedure in September of 2020. I am glad God has plans for me and look forward to his many messages and heavenly notices going forward.

Spirit Chronicles: Me and My Buddy

Featured

I had a dream where my life long best friend and I were at a ballgame. I was down at the bottom of the bleachers in a gigantic stadium bigger than any I have ever seen in the world. The top row of the bleachers was probably about 2000 feet off the ground way up in the sky. I saw my best friends brother down at the bottom and asked him if his brother was at the game and he pointed to the very tip top corner and said he is way up there. I am not a fan of heights and knew it would take a long time to walk that far so I began to make the climb. As I walked very slowly towards the top I saw people I knew from the past and many of them were passed and gone.

I made it to the top and there sat my buddy all by himself just looking out across the scenary behind the stadium. The railing was missing so I asked him why he was sitting way up here and he looked at me and said “I love it up here, the view is awesome”. I didn’t want to look out over the ledge but he was correct, the view was phenomenal and breathtaking. All you could see was water, palm trees and beuatiful blue skies for miles and miles. The water was crystal clear and the palms just swayed in the wind as the breeze blew across the water. My buddy loves the beach and has spent alot of time there.

This beach was different and unlike anything on earth. It was beyond beautiful and you couldn’t help but look at it and be in awe. I had been worrying about my best friend awhile now as he has struggled with somethings recently and just has not been himself. I told him it was awesome and I could see why he was sitting there watching the game and looking out at the view. He told me he needed the peace and I agreed. Then I saw his mom and she told me that she was with him always guarding over him and for him to fight to regain his power back.

My bud is a great big guy with a great big heart and it has been broken, messed up or bent. I know he can do it and the message I got was that he needed peace and understanding in his life. He will win this struggle with things. I woke up and wrote everything down and sent him a text. I told him I loved him and that I spoke with him in my dreams. I told him his mom who passed a few years ago was with him and rooting for him. He told me he was trying so please if you read this say a prayer for my friend so we can get him back on track as the man we all know he can be. Thanks and God Bless!

Covid- Teachers Perspective

Featured

Covid is taking its toll on schools, students, parents and teachers all across this great country we call America. It is ravaging the world as well, but for my purposes I will write about what I witness on a daily and weekly basis as a local career educator and coach. Different states, cities, towns and districts all have different standards and protocols in place. This inconsistency has gotten things all jumbled up and out of sync. Governors are putting in mandates while others are leaving it up to the local school board to decide. Some washed their hands of it due to political reasons while others are doing what they want regardless of the polticial consequences.

Covid is very real and I am a survivor of the sickness. Last December right around Christmas while I was at home ordering food in, staying out of the public, wearing a mask, being careful and teaching from home online as directed by my school district I contracted the sickness. Within five days it had ravaged my body and put me in the hospital. I could not breath, walk or hardly talk as it took its toll on my lungs and body. I fought back and survived and Thanks to God I came home. It took 30 pounds off me quickly, messed with my lung function and put me at a high risk of other issues. So as I write about Covid I do so as a survivor that nearly died in the hopsital fighting to breath and not give up.

I see schools are trying to return to normal and have implemented mask mandates, staying six feet apart and other guidelines to protect their students, teachers, staff and families. But is that enough and are those simple little guidelines realistic to stopping the spread of Covid and saving peoples lives? I am not for nor against a mask and other guidelines. I am simply saying this Covid thing goes much deeper and farther than a guideline. If a person is exposed the guideline says this. If they are vaccinated it says this. If they are not it says this. All of this means nothing because when it comes down to it Covid scares many people and even others that will not admit it.

If you are a teacher you know that it is true that kids come to school all the time sick with colds, coughs, flu and other things. Parents send them to school to make sure they do not miss any work time or even do not have to keep the kids at home. I have seen the stress Covid is putting on the staff at schools and the anxiety it gives many of the students. Some act as if it is no big deal, but to others it is real because they have had it, seen someone fight it or even worse lost someone from it. Covid does not care if your young, old, healthy, fat, skinny, diabetic, sick, not sick, etc. Covid attacks us when we are weak and takes it toll on the body.

I know of several people I would conside fit as a fiddle that died within a week of it. I have seen case after case at school, exposure after exposure at school and your told look at the protocol. What they do not understand is a person that has a mother, father or older person at home does not care about a damn protocol. They are worried they may take it home and give it to someone else that could pass away. A paper of process cannot replace lives lost due to protocol. Covid will not be going away soon and will continue to ravage as it wants to.

How we react to it is what matters. Do we live scared? Do we live free of it? Do we proceed with caution? What do we do? Is remote learnig best? Is alternating weeks best? Is face to face with spacing and masks best? These are the things the politicians, school boards, administrators and leaders must face. But for the front line people, the teachers, nurses, police, firemen, and other civil servants it is more of how do we face it and move forward. I see people taking time off, stepping away, leaving the field and doing safer occupations. I see people on facebook talking about “if you do not like what you do or are scared then do not do it”. That is easier said than done when it comes to leaving a profession you love, giving up an income and not taking care of the family needs and wants.

Covid, you suck and need to go away. Our kids need to be in school. Our teachers need to be teaching them. Our kids need to play football, be in the band, hang with friends and live life. We need you to go away as quick as you came. Wishful thinking yes, but it sounds good to me for it to go away. As for me I will be at work, be as safe as I can and take care of my students, my family and myself. Prayerfully I can teach, coach, mentor and survive this thing called Covid.
