I met an Indian gentleman who was over here to study law & languages. He went over to Paris, got in with Madame Blavatsky's set, became a theosophist, then a Spiritist & was much used as a medium.
He then believed in Christ and was saved. Then it was that
the evil spirits distressed him. For months he was awakened by them night after
night, rarely getting half an hour's consecutive sleep. Tangible hands touched
him & terrible manifestations of their presence afflicted him.
He prayed to God, but got no relief. At last a voice
appeared to say to him, "Mention the blood." He then spoke to them,
commanding them by the precious blood of Jesus Christ to leave him. Every time
he mentioned the blood they left him & by that means he obtained complete
deliverance.

Luke 11:24-26 (GNT):
“When an evil spirit goes out of a person, it travels over dry country
looking for a place to rest. If it can't find one, it says to itself, ‘I will
go back to my house.’ So it goes back and finds the house clean and all fixed
up. Then it goes out and brings seven
other spirits even worse than itself, and they come and live there. So when it
is all over, that person is in worse shape than at the beginning.”
“The most solemn truth in the gospel is that the only thing
Christ left down here is His blood.” -
D.L. Moody.
