Carl Hewitt Obituary

HEWITT, Carl Carl Hewitt, Psychic-Medium, Founder and Pastor of Gifts of the Spirit Church in 1977, transitioned from the physical to the Spirit body January 26, 2005. Carl was born on March 3, 1928 in Shalotte, NC. He went to school at Shalotte High School. He was born as a clairvoyant, clairaudient medium, and even during his early childhood, he was predicting events for people who visited his family. In 1933, Carl's mediumistic abilities were tested at Dr. Rhine's institute associated with Duke University, in Durham, NC. He was further tested and certified by several psychical research centers including one owned by Henry Belk, of Belk Department Stores. In 1954 several ascended masters visited Carl and commissioned him to create a teaching ministry. In 1977 he finally consented and allowed Spirit to teach through him to the best of his ability. Rev. Hewitt's mediumistic abilities achieved world recognition, he had clients from all over the United States, and as far away as Hong Kong, the Philippines, Ghana, and Saudi Arabia. He taught seminars to thousands of people world-wide. In 1999, Carl received physical confirmation that Joshua ben Joseph, known as Jesus to most people, was one of the ascended masters who worked through Carl's mediumship. The following paragraph is one such example, because Spirit never misses an opportunity to teach. Carl dictated these words for this announcement. The ascended masters made it clear that Jesus only taught the Gifts of the Spirit and he said many times to his students, What you see me do you can do even greater things shall you do. To do this, I (Jesus) have to go to my Father, my spiritual body. I did not finalize my teaching because I was silenced by the priests at the time, who saw me as a threat to their livelihood. The conflict between religion's priesthood and mediums has been the true story ever since I walked the earth. The World of Spirit is just as real as the physical world. We who reside in the World of Spirit have been communicating with those of you in the physical world as far back as man has walked on this planet. Orthodox religion does not want their followers to understand this, because once they do, they will realize that God is within them, not in some far off real estate in the sky. Furthermore, a church and its priesthood is not required to communicate with the God within. In the last several years of life Rev. Hewitt has appeared on a weekly public access TV show, Making Known the Unknown, from Norwich, CT, where thousands of people have become acquainted with Spirit's teachings through him.
