Pat Robertson: Second-Hand Clothes Could Have Demons Attached to Them

Televangelist Pat Robertson

If you are in the habit of buying second-hand clothes at shops like Caritas’ Kleiderkammer for those in Germany  and the Goodwill for those in the US, you need to think twice.

Until now one has to worry if those second-hand clothes were properly laundereded. But Pat Robertson on Monday's episode of his "700 Club" program brought about entirely new dimension to the second-hand purchased clothes. 

While responding to an email from a viewer, the televangelist warned that some second-hand clothes have demonic spirits attached to them and emphasised the need to pray over such clothes before wearing them.  

Carrie wrote:

“I buy a lot of clothes and other items at Goodwill and other secondhand shops. Recently my mom told me that I need to pray over the items, bind familiar spirits and bless the items before I bring them into the house. Is my mother correct? Can demons attach themselves to material items?”

Robertson answered with a story of girl who had problems because she bought a ring that was  prayed over by a witch. 

"She had to buy it and all hell broke loose because she finally recognized what it was," He assured viewers that he was not implying that all second-hand wear is an instrument of the devil but it pays off to take precautious measures.

 “it ain’t going to hurt anything to rebuke any spirits that happened to have attached themselves to those clothes.”

“700 Club,” is Pat Robertson’s daily programme on Christian Broadcasting Network.
