God, Aliens, and Other Stuff

In the first three parts of the Osborne story, we learned about Myra’s two life-changing visions of Jesus Christ, her sensitivity to ethereal realms, Charles’s Baptism of the Holy Spirit, and his experience with deliverance ministry. In this last section, Charles discusses gold dust, angel feathers, Marian apparitions, aliens, and his brother’s NDE. Gold dust Our discussion of gold dust began when I mentioned the fact that in Medjugorje, Bosnia and Heregovina, where Catholics and the curious gather to experience frequent apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary, pilgrims would often discover that the silver-colored chains on their rosaries had turned to gold. There is a DVD movie called “Finger of God,” by Darren Wilson, that documents testimony of gold fillings appearing in teeth during a worship service. Wilson has also filmed Christian speakers who manifest gold dust all over themselves as they preach. At that point, Charles had his own gold dust story to share, since the phenome...

In my first post on this topic, Myra shared the two visions she had of Jesus Christ that changed her from a flaky, pot-smoking teen to a disciple of the Lord. In Part II, Charles described what it was like to be haunted by demons after a seance, slain onto the sawdust floor of a revival tent, and speak in tongues for a half hour. The stories in today’s post will not disappoint. Charles explains: "We went to London, our first and only visit, and we were touring the Anglican sites there. We went to Westminster Abbey, and we were really shocked that it was like a big cemetery. We didn’t know that we were going to walk by so many tombs. And we went into a side chapel called St. [?] Chapel where it was quiet, and we were able to sit there and pray for a while. We were just being quiet and praying, and I looked over at Myra, and when I did, I saw a woman standing in front of her in a long dress, and her right hand was kind of raised with the index finger extended. And um, she wa...

This series of four parts was originally published in 2012 on this Blogger site. In my last post, I published a brief obituary for Rev. Charles Osborne, rector of Light of Christ Anglican church in Marietta, GA. I got their contact info through Kathie Walters, an evangelist/speaker. In my last post, Myra Osborne told her own story. My first contact with Charles was an email in which he described a séance that he initiated just for fun. His brother joined him in that venture. Unfortunately, shortly after I interviewed the Osbornes by phone (and after I had digitally saved and transferred the interview) my hard drive fried, and that email was annihilated. What I gathered from the transcript of the interview is that Charles developed a psychic capability, while his brother became haunted in a terrifying way. Neither of them nor their parents were Christians at the time. Later in life, both received the grace of Christ into their lives. Myra has a gift of being taken “into the Spi...
