Someone said, "Do you believe in ghosts?" I said, "Yes I'm speaking to a ghost right now. Another word for ghost is Spirit. You are a spirit and I am a spirit who lives in a body and has a soul. When the body dies the spirit leaves."
Sometimes a recent expiration will maintain a presence for a short time and then depart to another place. Normally, a "haunting ghost" is not a human spirit but rather a demon who has the capability of impersonation. Like all of us, they are territorial and want to inhabit a particular "house" or place that they can claim for a domain. Through fear and the power of deception they can gain entrance to human faculties.
I said that I believe in ghosts, but I am not afraid of ghosts. I have been in the presence of ghosts and experienced a fright or two, but quickly regained my composure and told the ghost that he has no authority or dominion over me or anything that is mine.
I am quite confident to speak in Jesus name and cast out any demon presence the way that Jesus did. Not only did Jesus cast out demons but he told his followers to do the same thing wherever they encountered satanic opposition.
There is no territory that we can relinquish when we understand the power of the shed blood of Jesus to redeem everything that was lost in the Fall. Every person born of a woman belongs to Him. Every square inch of real estate ultimately has been deeded to Him. The (true) Church been sent as ambassadors to reclaim it all for Him.
When the body of Christ begins to walk and talk and act like Jesus then we will know his return is near. Everything in heaven and on Earth will be joined in Him and those alien spirits who are restless until they can deceive the children of men through Ouija boards and seances, levitation, or flipping light switches and bumping things in the night, will be thrown into the Abyss, never again to haunt!
See Luke 10:17-20; 11:14-15, 17-26 wMs
