Howard Pittman's Near-Death Experience

Rate this Entry
I came across this video about Howard Pittman's near-death experience a week ago and one afternoon decided to listen to it. After I listened to it I found the material online and read it also. Some of it reminded me of "Fore's" written material on demons and the higher entities.

It also came to me while listening to the video of some material I've written about in the past.


The Adversary has always candy coated his poison.

The words of Oswald Chambers in his Christian devotional, My Utmost for his Highest....... “The good is always the enemy of the best” speak loud and clear if we choose to listen.

The Adversary figured this out a long,long time ago, becoming a master at playing with our senses and is one of his greatest tools to lead men astray.

Most religions and faiths have things that are incredibly attractive and appealing. Anyone who doesn't see this must be putting their heads in the sand. Most religions and faiths have inward and outward expressions that are quite good.

Jesus Christ is not merely another good man, prophet or just one in many gods,as many religions and faiths teach,rather He is “The Way and The Truth and The Life.” (John 14:6)

Remember first and foremost that the word “Antichrist” has a two fold meaning. Not only does Antichrist mean “against Christ,” it also means instead of Christ....... "A Substitute."

The Adversary is a master at mixing lies with the truth. The things that most appeal to our senses conceal the dark by blanketing them with the eye candy of light.

The Adversary is perfectly happy to allow many godly elements into the religions and faiths in exchange for the absence of the true relationship with The Lord Jesus Christ.

    Thanx for the link ScaRZ

    I read the written material, and it is quite interesting, although there are a few points of bother, although I'm sure they can be open to interpretation.

    In his booklet it would seem that a big part of redemption seems to based on the "works" done after salvation, although I understand that motive is also a factor in works.

    I was also under the impression that we are dead when we die, untill the resurrection towards the end of days? Yet he has people going into heaven at this stage?

    I was also of understanding that Jesus died for ALL our sins, even those we do unknowingly, yet in his booklet we are still held accountable?

    I only took it as Howard Pittman's near-death experience and found some things very interesting. I tried my best to just listen to the video and not let some of my thoughts or beliefs get in the way. I've read and listened to other near-death experiences and everyone of them are different. In some areas they are very close and in other areas they are far different. Very few of them that I've read go the direction of dark forces in the mix.

    As I mentioned,some of Howard Pittman's near-death experience reminded me of "Fore's" writings. The ability of the entities to be close around us all the time. The spirit world that's more real than even believers would ever think is true. I certainly believe the vast majority of people who say they believe in a spirit world think of it little more than entertainment. Even as full as The Bible is with the spirit world I would say few view it as much more than outdated myths and fairy tale legends.






    I don't believe (doing this and doing that) "Works" can earn any of us a golden ticket. We must first be drawn by The Father to come to The Son (Jesus Christ). Without that we have nothing. Jesus Christ is The Way,The Truth,and The Life that brings about our salvation. We must believe that he is the one Way,the one Truth,and the one Life that will give us eternal life through his death on the cross.

    I do believe we as believers and followers of Jesus Christ are not to just sit and be do nothings. We are to use our gifts and talents to bear good fruits. If we see a man in a ditch struggling to get out,what are we going to do,......."Pray and ask God to lift him out,or do we do some work and reach down and offer him a helping hand to pull him out?"

    It reminds me of the feeding of the five thousand men besides women and children when Jesus gave the loaves to the disciples,then the disciples gave to the multitude. The disciples were learning to........"Feed the flock".

    It took work on their part to go into all the world and feed the good news (gospel) to mankind. They became fishers of men. They didn't just sit around being do nothings.






    I believe when we die our flesh bodies return to dust of the ground and the spirit returns to God who gave it. One day a resurrection will take place,but all the in between is still very much a mystery "For Me".





    I believe Jesus Christ took upon himself all sin.

    As far as myself......."I've known every time before I sin what I'm doing." I make no excuse for myself,I blame no one but me.

    I agree Scarz.

    Especially on the roll of dark forces and the underworld, whichever form they come in. I think one needs to be more aware of their existence, their roll, abilities etc.
    I for one have not given much thought or attention to this area. I feel if we are more aware of their roll and works, the children of God will be able to prevent a lot of bad things that tend to happen to us.

    A lot of these type of experiences - especially regarding the "rights" of demons to do certain things due to the so-called "open doors" which we knowingly, or unknowingly create still has me slightly confused.
    I know that some people insist that even something like a (for argument's sake) African tribal mask, could be a "door" through which these demons are granted legal passageway and cause havoc in your life.
    Maybe I don't have enough knowledge in this area, and I will ask the Lord to guide me, but at this stage I am of the belief that If I bless that tribal mask, and plead the blood of Jesus on it, it should be rendered useless as a door, or else the power of the the blood of Jesus is not strong enough??

    I can understand the concept of the "doors" via Lust, Greed, Jealousy etc.....

    I know this might not be the right thread for a discussion of this sort.

    This is the right place and is what I'm hoping for. I want to lay out everything on our minds about this subject or any other. I want this blog to be a place to open up and not be afraid to go in areas many shy away from. I really want this place to be like a group of people interacting in the comfort zone of the family den.

    People say they are looking for the truth,but I really wonder if it's the truth they want or just more entertainment. I believe people are going to get exactly what they want in the long run. People will buy the camouflage or as most would say,"The outward appearance."

    They will be what we want them to be. What better way to carry out an Ages old plan of an Ages old war. Through the Ages they haven't always worn the same clothes but change them to fit the times. What was in style yesterday is shed for what is in today.

    It's all about a deception on a vast scale. Using camouflage to blend into not only our world but also our minds. The greatest war being fought is for the minds of all of us. Once they have your mind they have you. Through deception we give our minds away and enter a deep sleep becoming numb to reality.


    We must have a strong foundation (The Lord Jesus Christ), or what ever we build will never stand. You and I are a temple which our spirit is placed. If we have a strong foundation,our temple,our house will stand even against the mighty storms that have and will come. God never promised a rose covered path in this world which we all live. But if we have Christ,we will remain standing when the curtain closes.

    Matthew 7:24-27

    Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

    And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

    And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

    And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.



    The spirit of antichrist has been working hard and pushing forward to achieve a set goal. Many Jesus's have become and will continue becoming replacements for the real deal, The Lord Jesus Christ. These Jesus's have been molded into what we accept or desire them to be,rather that who the real deal, The Lord Jesus Christ really is without all our window dressings. Before our very eyes these idols have been and will continue being erected.

    The spirit of Antichrist isn't only as some think,"Those who totally distance themselves from Jesus Christ and want nothing to do with him." The spirit of Antichrist is a false spirit that waters down and by so doing replaces the True Word of God with a counterfeit word.


    "A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump." Galatians 5:9



    This spiritual war is much different than most will care to comprehend. I would say most people including believers don't even want to think about it. In other words we do exactly what the enemy hopes we will do.

    Do you believe for one second that the dark spiritual forces wish for us to understand the real deal?

    It's all about a deception on a vast scale......." Blending in."


    God knows the beginning and the end,but the dark legions are as we uncertain of all the details. I believe they believe they can win. They will never give up and we as believers and followers are in their crosshairs. If we allow or invite them to enter our temple........"They will move in and blend in very quickly." We must always be alert,watching,and wearing our full armor. They know a weak spot and they will jab at it time and time again.

    We as believers and followers of Jesus Christ are never to engage them in mind games. In other words......."Do not play with them or argue with them." This is one of their main goals........"Drawing you into the jaws of the trap."
    Our one and only weapon is The Word of God.

    Any other route we take will lead to our defeat. Many times they will even let you think you have won,but when the dust settles.......They got what they wanted........"You".

    I view a tribal mask being nothing more than what it is......."A man made item."

    I believe it as any other object can however with great devotion or reverence lead us into idolatry." Now we have opened up our temples and foul spirits will enter. We have now taken an object and allowed it to become more than what it is. We read this time and time again throughout The Bible. The molten calf is a good example in Exodus 32 of how it wasn't that they created with their hands a piece of artwork,but it's what they did with the artwork formed by the hands.

    Exodus 32:8........" they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto"


    Lets say back in the days Jesus Christ walked upon this earth that The Apostle Peter was a great artist and he created with his hands an artwork of Jesus Christ. I don't care what it was made of, or what type of artwork it was,and it was discovered today and without a doubt it was authentic. If we took that artwork and let it become more than what it is......"A man made item", and began to worship,bow to it,or serve it in any fashion the same rule applies as that of the molten calf.........."Idolatry"

    And yes demons,foul spirits,evil spirits would be in the mix.

    Thanx

    I totally agree on the sin of worshipping anyhing on earth - the bible clarly states that. I just pondered the "open doors" teaching that could allow demons or evil spirits lawful entry into humans.
