WheelsOfGrace.com April/May 2016 23 a presence, like someone was there, but no one was. Dean's wife mentioned that sometimes she felt like someone was standing on her side of the bed at night. At the time, Dean had a job working at a graphics company located in a very old building near Los Angeles. One of his coworkers told him he thought there was a ghost running around in it, but Dean didn't believe in ghosts. At times he would be in the camera room "shooting artwork" and he could swear someone was standing behind him, but no one was there. One night he was working late and ended up there alone. He was getting ready to leave, it was dark out and being the last one, Dean had to shut the building down. e room Dean worked in was across the building from the exit, so he would have to go through it, shutting the lights down, to close up. e upper floor was a storage area. All of a sudden, Dean heard loud footsteps coming from the floor above him towards where he was, from the other side of the building. It stopped directly on top of him. Loud steps, like a pair of boots on a wooden floor. Dean was spooked, got out as fast as he could, locked the door and went home. He told his wife what he had been experiencing at work and they talked about what she was experiencing in their apartment. Something was going on. Dean le that job for a better offer and went to work for another graphics company, thinking he le the ghost behind at the old job. at wasn't the case. e manifestations would start again. A guy by the name of Jeff, who worked with him, was a Christian who listened to Pastor Chuck Smith (founder of the Calvary Chapel churches). Jeff worked at the light table directly next to Dean and he knew Dean was Catholic. He oen asked Dean what he believed about church teachings, creating a challenge for Dean to look into and answer the questions. Over the period of a year, talking about each other's faith with Jeff, Dean wrestled with his. Having to explain how he thought his beliefs were based in scripture. Working with Jeff, he could not be wishy-washy about his faith and Jeff challenged him to "not ride the fence" with his beliefs. Dean began to realize what Jeff believed was based on Scripture vs. what Dean believed which was based on Scripture, church tradition and oral tradition. His wife had surrendered to Jesus earlier in life and Dean was realizing that he had not. Manifestations in the camera room were more frequent and one day, while working on color separations, Dean felt someone behind him. He turned around and the curtains in the dark room closed. He looked through them and no one was there. Dean talked to Jeff about what was going on, but the situation didn't faze Jeff at all. As they discussed the goings on, Jeff said that Dean should ask the "ghost" what it thought about Jesus Christ. At that moment a door in the back of the room they were in, opened by itself. Dean, Jeff and a co-worker were there. Jeff asked the other two if anyone had gone through that door earlier, but no one had. e door was closed and there was no explanation for the door opening by itself. at day, Jeff recommended a book to Dean called "e Satan Seller" published in 1978 by Mike Warnke a former Satanist and High Priest who became a Christian. e book is still available on Amazon today. e book explained things that were happening to Dean. Mike Warnke emphasized that there IS power in the name of Jesus. Reading the book, Dean realized it wasn't a ghost, but it was something demonic…something darker. Dean found himself at a crossroads with what to do with music and realized through the book, he hadn't committed his life to Christ. One night, Dean again felt the presence in his sleep. Waking up, he remembered what he read and asked Jesus for help. He prayed for God's Holy Spirit to come. God delivered and the entity le. at doesn't mean it all stopped in Dean's life that day as he still had some bad dreams. Dean and Sandra were praying, pleading the blood of Jesus over their apartment and over their life. He realized the music he was playing was not honoring to God and he needed to make a change.
