This week we talk about Ed and Loraine Warren and their work in the paranormal field.  Their work does not come without controversy.  Basically, what we can say is there is enough spiritual warfare that is real, don't really need people conjuring something up that isn't just to make a few bucks.  We end on what will cause a person to overcome the demonic, which starts and ends with Jesus and the Holy Spirit....
