Man Claims ‘Possession’ Drove Him to Cannibalism
There have been heinous events throughout history. Satan’s perversion of humanity and his influence in committing atrocities is not new, but today’s culture feels as though it has been saturated by criminal acts and are viewed as mundane by modern audiences.
Americans were shocked and appalled by the string of serial killers in the 1970s because it was something the nation had not experienced before, especially in such a concentration of violent murders.
The soul of the country had been harmed with the removal of the Bible, the Ten Commandments and prayer in schools, giving Satan the opening he needed to begin reshaping culture against God thanks to the Supreme Court’s misguided decisions.

Now, a man is able to commit a murder in Las Vegas, Nevada, (allegedly) and is caught feasting on the body, then tells law enforcement that he was “possessed” when he committed this crime, yet it barely warrants a click with online media.
The man, now identified as 31-year-old Colin Czech, was arrested by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police after another male, who has yet to be identified, was found “unresponsive” and “bleeding from the head.” The LVMPD later revealed that the medical examiner had pronounced him dead.
How did we get to a point where a man beats another man to death, and during this encounter, begins to eat parts of his face?
This is the result of a country that has removed God, and His protection, and replaced it with a society given to the devil.
Czech admitted that he had been awake for “five days straight,” one of the likely outcomes of a drug binge rooted in spiritual oppression, as he claimed that there was an entity “possessing him” and he “was going in and out of consciousness.”
So, if there are people today saying they are afflicted by demons, spirits or spiritual entities, and the ministry of Jesus explicitly shows that He delivered people from demons tormenting them, why are Christians today so willing to dismiss the spiritual warfare taking place all around us?
Even non-Christians are recognizing the evil that is spreading and committing heinous crimes around the world, yet far too many are focused on fixing these issues through politics or social reform, when the root of the problem is spiritual.
We can’t change society for the better until we change our hearts, and the One who changes our hearts, lives and mannerisms is Jesus Christ. His transformative power in our lives is what can drive away this kind of sick and twisted evil that is plaguing the world, not just America.
If we as Christians truly want to see a change in society, we need to humble ourselves before King Jesus and live out His commands in a sin-cursed world.
With the power of the Holy Spirit in our hearts, we can see the revival and renewal that so many hope and pray for, but without it, we will continue to watch cultures sink into the mire of depravity and sin.
