ROBIN WILLIAMS, HOLLYWOOD AND DEMON POSSESSION: THE UNTOLD STORY
No other performer other than possibly Jonathan Winters, could demonstrate his ability to tap into the spiritual realm to convey a world of unusual characters in such lightening speed other than Robin Williams. Robin Williams acknowledged that he had opened himself up to transformative demonic powers that aided him on stage. In a recent interview, Williams stated that, “Yeah! Literally, it’s like possession ‑ all of a sudden you’re in, and because it’s in front of a live audience, you just get this energy that just starts going…But there’s also that thing ‑ it is possession. In the old days you’d be burned for it…But there is something empowering about it. I mean, it is a place where you are totally ‑ it is Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, where you really can become this other force. Maybe that’s why I don’t need to play evil characters [in movies], ’cause sometimes onstage you can cross that line and come back. Clubs are a weird kind of petri dish environment. I mean, that’s where people can get as dark as they can in comedy ‑ in the name of comedy, be talking about outrageous stuff and somehow come out the other side. I mean, that’s one place where you really want to push it” (Robin Williams, “Robin Williams,” by James Kaplan, US Weekly, January, 1999, p. 53).
Robin Williams only portrayed one dimension on film, but his live performances were anything but the lovable character actor, manic, so many seemed to fall in love with. In reality, Robin Williams was crude, vulgar, hostile to evangelical Christianity, and worse, was very sexually explicit. The truth is, Williams openly allowed his ability to tap into possibly thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands of demons to bring about such an array of characters that no wonder it took such a toll on him mentally as well as physically. This lead to episodes of drugs abuse, alcohol abuse, clinical depression, all of which took such a drastic toll that on August 11th, 2014, Robin Williams committed suicide. In an even colder, eternal reality, Robin Williams went out into eternity bound and warped by the very “voices” he often praised, but only now does it all become reality, that those same voices which he grasped hold of to build a large career with, would eventually turn on him in the end and drag his soul into eternity.
The word says in Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. The truth is, demon possession is a spiritual disease that invades the body much like an invisible, lethal virus; it is the attack of an unseen entity not of this world. If it is never recognized as such, there is no hope for the victim. The only solution is Christ and a turning from sin and repenting, allowing God to cast out the demonic voices and bring peace. That is the only true option for those caught up in this spiritual darkness.
