Alien abductions stopped by the name of Jesus
The Nobel Prize-winning biochemist Francis Crick calculated the probability that a living cell would form by accident from non-living chemicals and found the probability to be less than 1 in 10 to the power of 40,000. (That’s a 10 with 40,000 zeros after it!) To put that in perspective, consider that the number of atoms in the known universe is just 10 to the 130th power!
What is the probability of finding the correct atom among all the atoms in the universe, even if you choose one atom every second for ten billion years? The formation of life by chance is much less likely than that. Francis Crick did not get down on his knees and say “there must be a God!” Instead, he said that aliens (extraterrestrials) from outer space brought life to earth.
This brings us to the question of aliens, UFOs, and alien abductions. In recent years, many people have come forward and said that they woke up one morning with a clear memory of being abducted by aliens and taken aboard a spaceship. This usually happens with people who are involved in the occult or “New Age” belief systems. “New Age” can be defined as a westernized form of Hinduism.
Some of the “abductees” who did not start out as New Age members tend to adopt New Age beliefs due to messages received from aliens they encounter. It is the opinion of many researchers that UFO “abductions” are nothing more than demon-inspired dreams and demonic encounters intended to deceive people with New Age beliefs.
Joe Jordan attended church as a child, but embraced New Age beliefs through his involvement with New Age literature. Joe repented and became a Christian after a Christian friend challenged him to read the Bible. He now works to expose the UFO hoax. Some time after his conversion, Joe came across the case of a man who claimed to have stopped his kidnapping experience.
The kidnapping stopped when the man called on the name of Jesus. Through further investigation, Joe Jordan and a colleague discovered about 100 cases of UFO “abductions” detained by the name of Jesus. (see “Charisma” magazine, April 2001 issue, p. 46) This is empirical evidence that the name of Jesus Christ is the name to which every knee must bow to the glory of God the Father!
When a Christian confronts a demon and speaks to it and commands it to stop in the name of Jesus, the demon will stop the kidnapping.
For a biblical example of the power of the name of Jesus, we can read the case in which Paul, the apostle, cast out a demon from a girl. “Paul, saddened, turned and said to her spirit: I command you in the name of Jesus Christ, to come out of her. And she left at the same hour (Acts 16:18).
If UFO abductions are mere illusions perpetrated by demons, it’s no wonder they stop at exercising spiritual authority through the name of Jesus.
“So that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow…” Philippians 2:10
