Would you live here?

If you had an opportunity to buy a home for a really good price would you live there if you knew that there had been a mulitiple murder and sucicide?

IF no, why not?

That has happened down the road from us. A man killed his wife and her kids, took the child he had with her to his mother in Louisiana. It was very violent for the woman and her daughter, less violent for her son. I think that house was torn down. I am not sure if I would want to or not. Might seem kind of morbid and creepy.

Why do you think that?

Do you think there would be ghost in the house?

Isa 26:3 Thou wilt keep [him] in perfect peace, [whose] mind [is] stayed [on thee]: because he trusteth in thee.

unless it is something that you feel would be detrimental to your witness (having others into your home), I do not see a problem with it.

I would, however, go through the house and pray through it, asking God to sanctify it.

I do that in any home I buy or rent.

And usually more than once.

Question. How could it be detrimental to someone's witness?

There is a house here in our town where the husband killed and his wife and then chopped her up in small pieces. He then took her to Michigan and dumped her body into various dumpsters in several towns.

The house has had 2 owners since this happened (just a few years ago). When the first owner moved in he seemed to have things pretty much together. He was a divorced man, but highly respected as a psychologist/counselor. He was the father of 8 children and had custody of several of them. The others lived with his wife here in town. Within a year of them moving into the house, the world fell apart for him. After only a couple of years his children were all heavily into drugs and drinking. He was said to be supplying drugs and alcohol to them as well as to other teens. He eventually lost the house. When they moved out, the house smelled horribly. Rotten!

The next people who bought it are a young couple with 3 children. They had to basically gut the house out to clean it up and be able to move in. The things they found were disgusting!

And now that they've lived there just over a year, their marriage is crumbling. They are on the virge of also losing the house.

Is it the house? Or is it just bad luck in people who've lived there? I don't know. But I know I do not want the house at any cost!!

If there are others in the community that know of the situation, it may cause them to be less receptive to your hospitality within this home.

I believe in the power of the blood. If they, prayed over it an anointed it I believe there would not be any spirits in the house.

The house next to me, is now empty for the third time. Seems like at least two of them went bankrupt, the first one divorced.

So different things can make you have problems.

But who knows what went on in your home you bought without your knowledge.

I learned that the hard way years ago, when we bought our first home.

From what I have been told the entire community knows.

The house is just wood and other building materials. So no it is not the house. It could be an evil spirit. But what power does an evil spirit have over a Holy Ghost filled child of God?
