Soul Food

Haunted Childhood

Bishop Bira Joshua

Reach out to us!

The moment grief starts talking back, it can feel like a gift. A whisper that sounds like your grandmother, a presence that feels like home—until the comfort curdles into dread.

We also lay out a clear biblical lens for paranormal claims: people die once and do not return to visit. That single truth reframes séances, mediums, and “messages” that breed fear. 

If you’ve felt watched, haunted, or trapped by a story that looks like comfort but acts like control, this conversation offers a way out.

SPEAKER_05:

Hi there. May the God of the Bible bless your life. Together once again with this podcast. Paranormal activity. It is real, it is not fiction. It happens. Today we are going to see the story of Kathy. She was haunted by the evil spirit since she was nine years old. That evil spirit appearing to her was appearing in the form of a dead relative. You are going to see her story in a few. But I want to show to you what dead spirits do when they hunt a person. She was haunted by this evil spirit. Let us understand it.

SPEAKER_00:

This house has been my home for 30 years. This house has been passed down from my great-grandparents to my grandparents and parents. A lot of great memories have been made in this house. But there has also been a lot of terrible ones. Suddenly, all the joy left the house one day. And strange things began to happen. There are times when I feel as if I'm hearing my grandmother's voice. I miss her presence. Hearing her voice was so lovely. In the same house where my grandfather passed away, sometimes I feel their presence following me within the house. And even outside, to hear them more clearly, I sought out a spiritualist who could assist me in communicating with my deceased relatives. Once I heard them again, these spirits that I thought were my family started touching me. Suddenly, the voices changed from sweet words to screams and shouts. The dark shadows following me around the house were no longer my grandfather. Is there a place I can find help?

SPEAKER_05:

There are some people even in prison. They live in Jesus' cell, it's a concrete box, but they live like they are haunted by evil spirits. There are evil spirits haunting you after you. Oh yes, to destroy your life. In her case, she was like that. If you ever see the dead spirit, spirit that appears to you, this is not real, this is not true. It is from the devil, from the evil spirit. The Bible just says here that it is appointed for men to die once. After death, judgment. But after this, the judgment. So nobody dies and comes back. But you say it's surreal. I hear the voice of my father, my mother who passed away, even my child cry. Jesus is not from God, Jesus from the evil spirit, Jesus the devil to destroy your life. I want you to watch now the story of uh Kathy, and I'm going to be right back to pray for your deliverance. Does it happen to you? Since you were a child, stay tuned.

SPEAKER_06:

My name is Kathy. I'm 38 years old and I work as a secretary. And um my life when I was a young child, I had a lot of problems since I was nine years old. I started having like paranormal activities. I used to see um some of my uh relatives that had passed away. So um when I was little, I was I was always afraid because once it used to the dark, like I used to go to bed, that's when everything used to start. Like I used to always um cry and I told my mom that I couldn't see by myself because I was always uh seeing spirits, I was always seeing things that would make me scared. And um my mom, since then, my mom took me to a location and they told her that they felt as though that I had like a special gift or something was told to my mom. So every time I used to tell my mom that I was like afraid and um and that you didn't want to go outside because I felt like this anxiety since I was young, I used to always felt like this anxiety inside. So my mom believed the fact what she was told, and she used to keep me home. So a lot of times I used to get sick, and every time that we that I used to get sick, my mom would say something bad is gonna happen. And it became often like that. I would get fevers, and every time things would that I would feel that way, bad things would happen. And um, so when I started growing up, I always kept that fear inside of me. When I was like 13, I started um dating, I was always dating around, I started going to clubs. At the age of 14, I was already going to clubs, and due to that, I got into a relationship that led I was 17 years old and I got pregnant. So that's when the depression totally took over. It took over me completely. I used to cry every day, then I had the baby, and still with the baby, I wasn't, I wasn't happy. It was just it was just worse and worse. I would drink, um, I tried drugs. Well, I tried um marijuana, I did ecstasy pills, um, so that I did everything to try to be happy, but there was nothing that was making me happy. And I used to get in my car and I used to see myself, like I used to see my car going over the bridge. Like I used to already like see how it was gonna be. All this happened until I came to the universal church. When I came to the universal church, I came on a Friday, and that day, the day that I came here, it was already different. Like I I the the service, everything is just I left from here already feeling different. My I felt like a weight was lifted off of me. And and then I just started coming. I started doing my chain of prayers, I started coming every um Friday, I started coming on Sundays, then I started fighting for um, you know, my spiritual life, which I got delivered from that. It I mean, that it was like it happened so quickly at the time, you know, because it was like I was so desperate that I would I was doing everything that I was being told. God blessed me with a brand new car, you know, zero miles, and now I'm happily married. Now my oldest daughter, she's 20 years old. God blessed us. She goes to college, we don't have to pay anything because she has she received the scholarship and we don't have to pay anything. My greatest blessing is receiving the Holy Spirit. And that was there, there's no, I can't even explain. That was the best day. Not even when I had my kids. Not even, there's there's nothing that could compare to that day. I came to church and I just like gave it all. I gave, I just prayed and I just told God. I was like, God, look, I'm exhausted. I'm mentally exhausted, I'm physically exhausted, but this is what I want. I said, and I don't care what's it gonna take. And that Tuesday, I received the Holy Spirit, you know, and like I said, it was like the best thing ever. Like it was the best thing ever. It was a it was a feeling of joy. It was like my whole life was like transformed. Like once I received the Holy Spirit, it's like I received a new life completely. Completely. It's like it's just something that you can't really even explain because it's like so glorious. It's like it's such a privilege to have the Holy Spirit. It's such a privilege to be able to serve God, you know. I just say that the biggest thing is first receive the Holy Spirit. Once you receive the Holy Spirit, everything else gets added onto your life.

Hold your water, please close your eyes. Oh God Almighty, in the name of Jesus. I pray to you right now and I ask you for their freedom, for their deliverance. My Father, set this person free. When they drink of this water, let it be the water consacrated by the power of the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit. Amen. Drink now your water, it is blessed. Amen. Now raise both your hands to heaven, close your eyes. In the name of Jesus, oh Lord, I bless their hands for their freedom, for their deliverance. Place your hands, both your hands now on top of your head, close your eyes. In the name of Jesus Christ, whatever evil, the evil spirit that appears to dismant, to dishuman, even for the prisoners. Pretending to be a late family member, somebody that died long ago. I rebuke you, evil spirit. And I command you to live this person, to live right now the body of this person. You want to drive this person crazy. You want to drive this person crazy. I command you to live this person in Jesus' name. Together, you say in Jesus' name, take off your hands and say, get out of my life. Be set free. Be blessed in Jesus' name. Breathe in and out. Amen. Praise God. You are set free. Once again, I read the word of God for you. The scripture says, as it is appointed for a man to die once. There is no reincarnation. A person that died is gone. Will never come back to visit you. Alright? If somebody comes knocking on your door and say, I am your father who passed away, I am your mother who passed away, tell this for yourself, have got the wrong address. Nobody will ever come back to you. Man dies only once, and this is Bible-based advice. God bless all of you. Now I want you to watch how you can be in touch with me.
