Past lives

There are different types of portals. Most portals allow those souls who have recently left the physical body to ascend into the afterlife. There are the portals that swing both ways. These portals allow souls to come and go in visitation to the physical world. Then there are the dark portals that someone may have opened using the dark arts or where the veil between the two worlds has worn thin. I have encountered all three types and needless to say, the dark ones are not my favorite. Whenever found, these portals should be closed, if possible. I have only closed a few of them; here is what happened with my very first encounter with one.

I was sitting in my home office working on the editing of my first book when the phone rang, startling me. Sighing, I picked up the phone and answered it.

“Hello..?”

“Hey it’s me, you know I moved into my little house don’t you?” Julie asked

“You told me you were going to be moving to your new place in about a month. Are you already moved in?”

“Yeah, I’ve been living here for a couple of weeks and let me tell you there’s some weird things going on over here.”

“What kind of weird things are we talking about?”

“I’ve been having weird dreams and it feels kind of creepy here.”

“Did you sage and salt the place before you moved in?”

“I did the smudging with the sage but it doesn’t seem to do much good. It still feels creepy and today I think I saw a shadowy figure. Can you come over and see if you pick up on anything?”

“I can’t come right now but I’ll come over this weekend and see what I can feel. In the meantime you’ll need to smudge every day and ask for God’s protection.”

“Okay, but if something worse happens, I’m out of here until you get here!”

“Alright, let me know if something else happens and go to your mom’s if it does or you feel unsafe.”

Hanging up I got an image of a swirling vortex of dark energy. I could see dark entities entering and coming out of it. ‘Great, just great,’ I thought, ‘that’s just what I need to make my day complete, a dark portal.’

I tried to call her back but her cellphone was not answering so I left her a message. “Hey it’s me, I think you need to go and spend the rest of the week at your mom’s place. I’ll pick you up there Saturday morning around eleven.” And I hung up the phone, hoping she’d get the message later that day.

The week seemed to fly by and it was suddenly Saturday. I spent the early part of the morning preparing for what was waiting for me. First I rid myself of any negative energy then I brought the light of God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit to fill and surround me. I connected with God and asked Him to send Raphael and Gabriel with me to show me how to close the portal. I instantly felt their presence and heard them say they were with me. I started packing the things I thought I would need: holy water, sage, black salt and anointing oil in a small bag. Driving over to Julie’s mother’s house I heard the Archangels discussing the upcoming event.

“I’m glad God chose us to get rid of the dark opening.” Gabriel said.

“Yeah, it’s been a while since I closed one of these, I think I might be a little rusty.” Raphael said.

“Gabriel laughed and said, “Well I’m sure you’ll lose your sense of being rusty once we get there.”

“Yes, you’re probably right. It’ll be like old times, you and me together again against the darkness. It’s just what I need to hone my skills.” He said, winking at me in the rear view mirror.

“I really don’t know about you two, I think you’re going to have way too much fun helping me with this!”

I could see them exchanging a knowing look and knew that whatever they were up to it meant trouble for someone. I was just hoping that it wouldn’t be me. “You guys need to be quiet, I can see she’s outside waiting for me.”

“Why should we be quiet, she can’t hear us, you know. You seem to forget that sometimes.”

Raphael said with a smile.

“I agree if you wouldn’t talk to us out loud no one would even know we’re here or think you’re crazy for that matter.” Gabriel said with a smile and they both burst out laughing.

“Oh be quiet you two, you distract me.” I said telepathically.

I slowed the car down to a stop and Julie got in. “Hey, needless to say I got your message.” She said smiling.

“Do you know that you have a dark portal in your little house?” I asked.

“Son of a sea biscuit, that’s why sometimes I see things out of the corner of my eye and feel weird. What can we do about it? Do I have to move or can we get rid of it?”

“We, is right, I’ve brought a couple of helpers with me to make sure we get it sealed.”

“Really, Archangels, which ones? Is it Michael, tell me it’s Michael!” she said eagerly.

“Gabriel how do you like that? What are we, chopped liver?” Raphael complained.

“Yeah, how come he gets all the glory and we get all the work?”

“Alright you two, you know I love to have you with me in any kind of fight, now stop complaining.” I said telepathically.

“No it’s not Michael, its Gabriel and Raphael and I’m glad they’re here.” I said glancing in the rear view mirror.

“That’s great double the help.” Turning toward the back seat she said, “Thanks for coming guys.”

“They said ‘you’re welcome’.”

As we made our way toward her little house the feeling of uneasiness grew stronger. The house was what some call a mother-in-law house. It was situated in the back of the property. Pulling up in the driveway we had to walk through the backyard of the big house to get to the smaller one.

Julie got out of the car while I sat for a minute gathering my thoughts and reinforcing my protective shield.

Julie came around to my side of the car and asked, “Is anything wrong, are you okay?”

“No, there’s nothing wrong, I just needed to make sure that I reinforced my protective shielding. Gabriel and Raphael said that they need to explain to me what the plan is.”

“Okay, no problem, I’ll wait by the gate.”

“Alright what’s the plan of action?”

“First we need to find it, I know it’s in the house but we need to find the exact location.” Gabriel said.

“Wait a minute, let me see if I can sense where the portal is.” Closing my eyes I focused on the building. I could see a white closet and could feel the coldness emanating from it.

I looked over to where Julie was waiting and asked, “Is there a closet on this side of the house?”
