Attention Team Members and General Public who may be interested in attending:
On Thursday October 11 at 11:30AM, Mike Chapman, Team Leader of the Natchez Area Paranormal Society, will talk to members of the Natchez Garden Club about paranormal investigating, and especially about our investigation into Magnolia Hall last November, which was then aired on Natchez TV. Magnolia Hall is owned by the Natchez Garden Club, and thier officers invited us to speak at their monthly meeting for October.
All Team Members are invited to participate, share their experiences, and help answer questions, especially those who took part in the investigation. We realize it is during the working day however, and most will not be able to come due to work. Any members of the general public who are interested in what NAPS does may also attend. There is no cost involved. Mike will speak shortly after the Club holds a brief business meeting. It will take place in the parlor of Magnolia Hall.
Those interested or engaged in religious demonology should be aware of a set of cogent, relevant books on the topic of spiritual power with regards to dealing with diabolical forces. Clinton A. Arnold, Professor at Talbot School of Theology, has written three outstanding books regarding spiritual warfare. I have all three, and strongly recommend them as part of your study and resource library.
Arnold is particularly an expert with regards to St. Paul's understanding and approach to the diabolical forces that were opposing him, the people he was ministering to and trying to reach. All of us involved in demonology and the study of diabolism (and how to fight it) know how important and central the Ephesian verses are to this field of study, and Arnold breaks them down powerfully in his book Power and Magic: The Concept of Power in Ephesians. What should be noted is that we are still dealing with the same forces and their strategies today. Gnosticism, Dualism, Magical practices, Astrology, Jewish magic (done in the name of King Solomon) and others are still very much alive and well. In addition, he breaks down the study of these demonic forces and powers mentioned by Paul his letter to the Ephesians for us in a way that is understandable and clear, and also gives us ways to stand and resist these forces. Get all three books, and do more than merely read them...study and incorporate them into your worldview and your lifestyle.
