The kids had fun carving pumpkins. (Sorry, no pics this time). Mama was irked, and sick and exhausted the next day. This pattern is getting old. Suffice to say, there is a significant shift happening, overall, but I can feel it in my life in particular.

What major historical events do you remember?
The first significant event I recall is September 11, 2001. It started out as any other day. We lived in Tampa, Florida at the time. My parents were still together; they, my brother, and I all resided together. In an apartment complex called St. James Place. I remember having friends that I got to play with frequently, as they lived in neighboring apartments. We were always “going on adventures” and playing in the Laundromat and the bushes around the corner from our unit.
It being September in Florida the morning air had just started having a chill to it. The grass waking up to a morning dew. We got up and ready for school, and headed off to the front gate like every morning where the school buses would pick up all the kids for their respective schools. My mother, brother and I would walk as we were close enough to the front of the complex.
The morning at school started out like every morning, we all arrived before the first bell range, and gathered on the front lawn around the flag pole. As it was getting frosty, someone inevitably tried to stick their tongue to it. Most of the time it didn’t work. The bell would ring and we’d all line up in our classes to be met by our teachers. Tampa Palms elementary was a good school. I enjoyed my time there.
We get to class and get settled in, kids are finishing some of their breakfast still and the teacher is getting the stuff out for her lesson plan for the day. Class begins as usual. I don’t remember getting to the first recess before the principal comes in and whispers to our teacher. Then we go outside and when we come back in we’ve got coloring pages on our tables and an instruction to color quietly. All the while all the teachers and aids are silently watching the classroom televisions.
My mother tells me she was at the store when it happened. Walking through Target to grab a few things before heading home. The news was playing on their televisions. She said to herself, “Well, that’s a stupid show.” Then, a news anchor she recognized came on the screen, and my mother’s heart dropped. So she finished up her shopping and raced home. Just in time to find my father packing his duffel, as he had been called to duty.
Since recording the last episode, life has begun turning for the better. I deep cleaned most of my house last night. To the point of exhaustion. Not to mention I’m still clearing out the rest of this cold. My house, now, does visually represent the peace I’ve been feeling post-separation.
I put out queries on Instagram, YouTube and Facebook about what other unclean spirits I should delve into next. I’m not done with Formalism, but it’s time to start introducing new names to the pool. I’ll circle back around. I think my brain needs a reset and God is working, so I’m going to keep moving forward.
Unclean spirits are personalities without bodies. Some are one main personality trait some are a group of traits. Like the spirit of Formalism and the spirit of Jezebel, respectfully.
What are some other spirits or personality traits that I should start looking into? There are so many, I’m a bit at a loss as to where to start.
Leave a comment here or find me on Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook.
Thanks, Robin.
This week actually started alright. It just so happened to be the week I made the next steps in God’s plan, and I also came down with an epic cold. This week was the week that I shared the story of the night I accepted Jesus as my personal Lord and Savior. Other than these two videos, there really isn’t much else to say. Check out my whole YouTube channel; I post videos of just reading scripture. I’m in Genesis and just uploaded chapters 18-23
These are my notes that kept me somewhat on topic:
Demons hate eye contact. They remove the backlight from a human’s eyes. People with their own human soul in control have a light, a glint, behind their eyes. Demons block that when they come up.
Life and Death are on the tongue.
*audio of Sunday talk – first attempt at salvation ever (many demons/tried that clip. Include link to full conversation)
He and my mother chose the demons. I do not.
Hello, welcome to an installment of the Capybara Paranormal podcast. Today is a continuation of the Spirit of Formalism episode from last week. I’ve been gathering as much information as possible to further this investigation. I’ve gathered some more reference materials, but I’ve lost some sleep. I’m now the proud owner of an interlinear bible, the Ethiopian bible, and two different concordances. I’ve found a thesis paper on the Pocket Bible app from the founder of the Dallas Theological Seminary, published in 1951.
It’s been a busy week, so let’s dive right in. I’d like to start with some additional backstory before diving into the information I uncovered this week.
Growing up, I didn’t have regular exposure to the gospel, Christ, or Christianity, for that matter. My Grandmothers took me to church a few times during the summers, whichever grandmother I was with. No one taught me anything, however. I had Veggie Tales and those two DreamWorks movies, “Joseph King of Dreams” and “The Prince of Egypt”. I grew up knowing that the Bible was a guidebook. Otherwise, I was left to my own devices and the internet… I was left to my own understanding. And we are explicitly told not to do that (Proverbs 3:5). Thanks, Satan.
One of my grandmothers did say to me, “I’m not going to force you to go to church and participate in any of that. Just know one day you’re going to hear him calling for you and you’re going to answer.” This being the same grandmother, both my father and I were thinking about her one day, and thinking about calling her when he got the call that she had passed and gone to be with Jesus.
That being said, in dealing with the occult like I did for many years through yoga/meditation, tarot cards, spirit box sessions, paranormal investigations, scrying, and candy/alcohol offerings, I’ve downloaded the understanding that there is no other being like Jesus, and without Him, everything you do will fail. I didn’t yield many results with the paranormal investigation, mainly because I was going about it without Him by my side. I know now he was near and making sure I was going to be ok. He made sure I escaped the enemy’s rabbit hole and retained my sanity. There is no way it wasn’t God.
One more thing about God/Jesus, he doesn’t force himself on you like the enemy. He honors the free will with which he built all of us. I didn’t have to let him take over my life, but I’m glad I did.
-Lewis Sperry Chafer, Founder/President of Dallas Theological Seminary, “Dispensationalism”, a Thesis ( found on the pocket bible app store) , published in 1951
-dispensations listed in the book “Rightly Dividing God’s Word Through Dispensations” by Victor B Shingler, Jr.
(Scofield Reference Bible, p.5)” A dispensation is a period of time during which man is tested in respect of obedience to some specific revelation of the will of God.”
The definition in the concordance I have:
Definition (The new Strong’s Expanded Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible)- (Greek) Oikonomia: Primarily signifies “the management of a household or of household affairs. (4) A “dispensation” is not a period or epoch, but a mode of dealing, an arrangement or administration of affairs; but by metonymy, dispensation is applied to that period of time (not clearly demarked in the Scriptures) wherein God deals specifically with man, giving him a special stewardship to administer.
(Read three verses before and three after)
1 Cor 9:17 “For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: But if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.”
Eph 1:10 “That in the dispensation of the fullness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
3:2 “If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:
Col 1:25 “Wherefore I am made a minister according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you to fulfill the word of God;
This leads me to believe a dispensation is on an individual basis and requires intimacy with God. Something isn’t quite adding up,; it’s not really a group thing, but let’s continue.
According to a Copilot search
-Covenant Vs. Dispensational Theology
Dispensationalism and Covenant Theology are two distinct theological frameworks that interpret the Bible and God’s relationship with humanity differently, particularly regarding the role of Israel and the Church, the nature of God’s covenants, and eschatology (the part of theology concerned with death, judgment, and the final destiny of the soul and of humankind)
Overview of Dispensationalism
Definition: Dispensationalism is a theological system that divides history into distinct periods or “dispensations,” during which God interacts with humanity in different ways. It emphasizes a clear distinction between Israel and the Church, viewing them as separate entities with different roles in God’s plan.
Eschatology: Dispensationalists typically hold a premillennial view, believing in a literal thousand-year reign of Christ on earth following a rapture of the Church and a period of tribulation.
Covenants: In dispensationalism, God’s promises to Israel remain intact and will be fulfilled literally in the future. At the same time, the Church is seen as a distinct body that receives spiritual blessings but not the physical promises made to Israel.
Overview of Covenant Theology
Definition: Covenant Theology posits that God interacts with humanity through a series of covenants, emphasizing the unity of God’s plan throughout Scripture. It views the Church as the continuation of Israel, with both Jews and Gentiles being part of one covenant community.
Eschatology: Most adherents of Covenant Theology lean towards amillennialism or postmillennialism, rejecting the idea of a literal thousand-year reign of Christ on earth.
Covenants: Key covenants in this framework include the Covenant of Works, the Covenant of Grace, and the New Covenant, which collectively demonstrate God’s redemptive plan through history.
Key Differences
Israel and the Church: Dispensationalism maintains a strict distinction between Israel and the Church, while Covenant Theology sees them as part of one unified people of God.
Eschatological Views: Dispensationalists typically believe in a premillennial return of Christ, while Covenant theologians often adopt amillennial or postmillennial views.
Understanding of Covenants: Dispensationalism emphasizes multiple distinct dispensations, whereas Covenant Theology focuses on the continuity of God’s covenants throughout Scripture.
Conclusion
Both Dispensationalism and Covenant Theology offer valuable insights into the interpretation of Scripture and the understanding of God’s relationship with humanity. While they differ significantly in their theological frameworks, both perspectives contribute to the broader conversation within Christian theology. Understanding these differences can enhance one’s grasp of biblical teachings and the diverse views within the Christian faith.
Personally, coming from a more covenant perspective, but also being a dark nerd and prefer some semblance of order, both theology methods should be used in unison. Both methods have their merits but seem to fall short of being well rounded. Dispensational theology to read through scripture, learn it and make sense of it. Then Covenant theology to apply it to whatever God told you individually to do with whatever gift He’s given you. A house divided cannot stand (Luke 11:17) and God works in mysterious ways! At least mysterious to us, because were dumb.

10/8/2025
This week started as a catch-up week. Friday’s episode got recorded and uploaded on Monday. Tuesday was a typical Tuesday; lengthy. Today, a heavy mental load. Appointments for the kids and errands were non-stop. The headache began about mid-morning, and it’s one I’ve become familiar with over the last couple of years. It’s similar to a hormonal headache after a miscarriage in that medication might take some edge off, but usually not. The Chiari headache is something I’ve only mentioned a few other times on my other blog and personal page.
This journey with the Lord is urging me to open up and let people into my inner world. That’s tough, because it’s foreign to me. After all these years of not opening up, at least not comfortably, I’m beginning to. Jesus has his ways. He woke me up and led me away from ( 2 Timothy 3).
As I mull over the contrasts between Dispensational and Covenant theory, the more I’m mapping out how to conduct in-depth research on the two. It’ll be a lengthy process. I’m starting on the covenant side, but I’m beginning to see how dispensation makes sense. It’s more logical, whereas the covenant is more like freeform jazz… This research is ongoing. I’ve found a book about the man who made popular dispensation that I have to read in the next couple of weeks. This will be interesting, stay tuned. Goodnight!
After a lengthy hiatus due to personal issues and spiritual reevaluation, I have been drawn back to my research. This time with the Holy Spirit, the goal is to fulfill His will and bring Him glory. The Lord has taken over my life and is leading me toward deliverance, researching the various spirits that humans need deliverance from.
Since the last video of the old way I used to do paranormal research, there has been death and rebirth. The masks have fallen off, and My Lord and Savior now shows me what I’ve been drawn to all these years. They are fascinating but dangerous when unchecked. The Church body I’ve been sent to be a part of is a focal point. As well as my personal issues that made me stop investigating altogether.
This is going to be a fascinating journey; I can feel it in my spirit and my bones. Follow along as I shed the Lord’s light on the unknown and unpack years of baggage.
