    About this ebook

    Provides the theological framework for the reality of the dead hanging out around us in defiance of God’s command that the dead must return to Him and be judged. Anyone harboring the dead is guilty of harboring fugitives and the living are FORBIDDEN from talking to their dead loved ones. This act of defiance and our tolerance of said lawbreakers has become a bane on earth and must be corrected.

      TESTIMONY - Arlin Ewald Nusbaum

      Introduction

      It is one of the salient points of this book that to help bring Heaven to earth (as prophesied, Mat.6:10), the inhabitants of earth must live and act more like how it is in Heaven—to push darkness out. This book will be my first that includes all four genres of my writings: Christian, Mormon, general Spirituality, and Spiritual Warfare.

      While I have been diligently exposing the causes of darkness within those classifications, it became apparent to me at some point that the greater hindrance to God’s Light is what I term The Defiant Dead (TDD). TDD are the ones in defiance of God’s established order of things, which is after we die, we are to return to the God who gave us life, and report on our life:

      "Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it." (Ecclesiastes 12:7)

      TDD take up hiding from God in the homes and the bodies of the living, e.g., family and friends, objects, locations, and casual acquaintances—wherever they can get away with it. The problem is, they rarely stay quiet, and will inevitably begin to engage the living—which is against the order of God—whether they are well-meaning interactions or evil; they are acting as rogue agents, in defiance of God.

      It has been my sad experience (and observation), that while I have spent years trying to increase God’s Light among Christians, Mormons, and the public at large by correcting false doctrines, the real culprits are TDD.

      [For more on these corrections, within Christianity see Tongues, Babylon – Then and Now, Prophecy Wars, Before He Comes, etc. For Mormonism see The Five Errors of Mormonism, True Points of Doctrine, Temple Gap, etc. For general Spirituality see The Joy-Filled Way, A Higher Form of Existence, The Age of Illumination, Bread of Life. Within Spiritual Warfare see The Coming War in Heaven, Army of the Lord – United States, Taberah, Wealth Transfer, Global Reset, Protocols for the Living About the Dead, and this current title Spirits Among Us.]

      Unless people involved in those four groups: Christian, Mormon, general Spirituality, Spiritual Warfare (and the public at large) become educated about this menace and stop the harboring of TDD, we cannot eradicate darkness from the earth. The reader should not assume I have not thoroughly investigated this subject, both the practical and the theological, or that I am unaware of the cynic. I ask that readers reserve judgment until hearing the whole matter (reading the free portion won’t be enough).

      My first serious engagement with the World of Spirits (WoS) was at 18. After much prayer, fasting, and repentance, I was visited by a holy angel, and then by the Lord Jesus. After another year of even further repentance and proving myself serious in following the Lord by performing missionary work, I was baptized by fire and of the Holy Ghost, which opened my eyes to the World of Spirits (WoS).

      Framework

      I was raised Mormon (outside of the Book of Mormon beltway), and after resigning from that faith, Protestant Christianity became my faith for the last thirty years. Within Mormonism, they believe that angels, demons, and even God Himself are all humans just passing through different states of beingness.

      They firmly believe that God birthed all children in a pre-mortal world and that one-third of His children (not angels) rebelled, and that is how Satan and his angels came to be. To them, good angels are likewise human, be it premortal or postmortal spirits. The Mormon framework is straightforward with its own logic, but is too simplistic, and not backed by scripture or based in reality.

      Christianity, on the other hand, is nearly the opposite of Mormonism. They believe (as the scriptures say) that Yes, we are God’s children, but angels are a separate class of beings. Among Christians, their understanding of the different types of angels can be a mix of detailed or rather simplistic explanations. So too does the knowledge of evil vary among Mormons and Christians. Some Christians know there are different types of evil, but others believe there are only demons. Whereas Mormons believe they are all humans.

      Because Mormons believe angels are fellow humans in one stage or another, for them, the idea that a ministering angel could be a departed friend or loved one is not unusual; in fact, it is accepted. Among most Christians, it is safe to say they do not believe in administrations from departed friends or loved ones, and some genuinely believe the dead know nothing (Eccl.9:5), therefore, in their minds, they could not possibly perform any such role as ministering spirits:

      14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation? (Hebrews 1)

      In the New Age community, they most often do believe in angels and administrations from
