I find it interesting to note that you would place within the same paragraph two conflicting ideologies. On the one hand you state that the little black men are not real and then you make reference to them being demonic. Are you in fact then saying that things demonic are not real? What then is real and not real? Is your faith in God real? Have you been saved from superstition or do you kneel to it daily? I cannot speak for your friend nor can I about mummery men but I do like little bowler hats. When Samuel came to Eli and asked him what he wanted, Eli was dumfounded and said go back to your room for I didn't call you. Yet, when Eli finally gave in to the sincerity of Samuel he instructed Samuel to commune with God. God has chosen many forms with which to communicate with different persons. To Moses through the burning bush and to Bellack (spelling?) through the mouth of an ass. Christians can't be cursed, but they can be cursed at, tested, tried and even killed. I suggest that your friend examine closely his revelation to determine if it is of superstition or indeed of God and to commune with God and not superstition. Your friend should examine the fruits which come from these little black men for all good things come from God.
