Paranormal things?

Hey so recently the same week my mother went to a haunted house and took part in scences (however you spell it) and probably used a weegie board for charity but still absolutely wrong strange things have been happening in my grandmothers house.

Like for example the other day she woke up and found her plant in her living room which she waters every day etc.. asif someone pulled it kinda up outa the dirt and it was withered and hanging down at the side of the pot, not completely out of the dirt just pulled up till its hanging over and withered.

Also shes been finding feathers around the place over the last few days in several room which I hear is linked to occultist things?

weird.

Any suggestions on what to do and anyone had anything like this happen before?

Urge your mother and grandmother to turn from idols unto the Living God. And if they have, I'd ask your mother what she was doing with that nonsense. I'd ask your grandmother, if she's a Christian, if that messed up plant or those feathers are hurtin' anything, and to continue to submit herself to the Lord, resist the devil, and he will flee (per James' instructions).

It is God that multiplies our sorrows....
God, as a righteous Judge, does it, which ought to silence us under all our sorrows; as many as they are, we have deserved them all, and more: nay, God, as a tender Father, does it for our necessary correction, that we may be humbled for sin, and weaned from the world by all our sorrows; and the good we get by them, with the comfort we have under them, will abundantly balance our sorrows, how greatly soever they are multiplied. - Matthew Henry

I don't know what they were expecting from their involvement, but misplaced plants and random feather finds should be the smallest of their concerns. So, basically, to deal with these things they need to repent and believe the Gospel. I know that's not much for "practical" help, but other than prayer for them, you can't help them by treating the symptoms with a band-aid, when the limb is completely severed.

When satan is given an open door, he takes it.

Praying that God would open your mom's and grandmother's heart to the Gospel.

BTW, don't stop sharing the Gospel with them. Take them to the miracles of Jesus and show that true spiritual power is not linked to ouija boards or seances, but to the risen Savior and Lord.

My wife told me that her friend's mom was involved with this stuff when she was a kid and at some point things were always falling off the walls at night and when she placed a bible on the floor under them they stopped falling. She also became a Christian.

I hope she really did become a Christian but it wasn't because of a superstitious prank. If this story is true then the falling objects AND the Bible were just props used by the demons to breed superstition. A printed book has no spiritual power, it was used as a talisman. It's all part of the act.
