Ghosts....

The other day for one of our classes we had to read an article about a team of guys here in Bandung that claims to be able to catch ghosts and contain them in bottles. We might laugh about that, but here in Indonesia the spirit world is alive and affects many. Since I've never seen anyone possessed by any sort of spirit, I have a hard time believing some of the stories that I've heard. However, one of our teachers, a good christian man, has seen a girl that was "possessed". She was able to push off two big men that were attempting to hold her down. Her family called upon a man who specializes in this sort of thing and he told them that she had been possessed by five demons. He got them to go out of her. It is hard to believe that, but our teacher, who had never seen anything like this before, said that after seeing that girl, he believes that they do indeed exist here. There are other teachers at the school too who have said that they have been involved in casting out evil spirits. They just command the spirit to leave in the name of Jesus Christ. I guess satan uses different methods for different parts of the world where he knows those methods will be more effective. People here are very afraid of spirits and ghosts as they are taught about them by their forefathers. We in the west are more realists so satan uses different methods such as film, tv, internet and magazines.
