DEMONIC INFESTATION

During days of apostasy, fallen-away Catholics -- not in a “state of grace” and not Sacramentally fortified -- become vulnerable “to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils (1 Timothy 4:1).” The Devil offers excitement, diversion, mystery, intrigue… The Devil lures people into forbidden Occult practices -- and away from God.

Evil increases insensibly, once it is given in to. And one’s mortal sin testifies to the Devil’s victory in one’s life. Having turned away from the Light, fallen-away Catholics become more and more curious about the Dark Side -- the Occult, spiritism and the paranormal...

The current craze is “paranormal investigation” (charged and sustained by a Godless Hollywood). One’s willing participation in such activity is consent given, and doors (portals) to the demonic are opened. There can be dangerous consequences:

We were playing with the Ouija board. Suddenly, objects started flying across the room! At night, I often see a dark figure standing in my bedroom. It is like a shadow man watching me. And I get terrible nightmares.

A paranormal investigator was attacked during an investigation (scratch marks on his back). When he returned home he began to suffer the sexually-stimulating attacks of a succubus spirit. And objects began to move in his house.

Demons can attach to people, and people can bring demons home with them. This is how some houses become haunted -- that is, infested with demons.

August 2017 _ I visited a desperate family in Upper Darby, PA being targeted by a (real) witch from Trinidad. I agreed to see them because they were not getting the help they needed... I prayed for the family members, and sprayed holy water throughout the house.

Soon after returning home, I thought I had some kind of flea infestation in my carpet. I never saw them; I just felt them. I cleaned, and I cleaned some more... I even used a body wash that repels biting insects (such as fleas and ticks)...

One month later _ I was inspired to record a video of my apartment using the flash on my smartphone. This is when I discovered that the fleas in my apartment were not fleas.

This is what a demonic infestation looks like.  

 

Demons can attach to objects connected to a dark (diabolical) force: objects used in pagan rituals, false religions, white and black witchcraft, Santeria and Satanic rituals… objects of the Occult (amulets, crystal balls… Ouija boards/witchboards, dowsing rods... Tarot cards and horoscopes). These (cursed/Occultic) objects can bring a dark presence into your home; they can be the source of a demonic infestation.

"Any object created (or book written) for Satanic use is a conduit for demonic spirits and reverberates Satanic power."

Demonic infestations are also found in places where serious demonic activity once took place: Satanic rituals, blood sacrifice… deviant drug use, suicide, abortion… séances, divination, black witchcraft… deviant sex crimes, rape, murder, prostitution… torture and violent death.

“Violence is the heartbeat of the Devil.”

A demonic infestation can cause fear, obsessive thoughts, emotional stress, anger/arguments… anxiety, depression, nightmares, insomnia, sleep paralysis… headaches, nausea, digestion problems… and other physical ailments due to a weakened immune system.

Some of the phenomena can include: hearing footsteps, voices, tapping on the walls... the opening and closing of doors, poltergeist activity… seeing shadows, apparitions and shadow men… the physical movement of objects, electrical problems… unnatural coldness, the shaking of beds… and bodies being touched, and scratched...

~ * * * ~

If you sense a dark presence in your home:

1) During the night with all lights out, walk throughout the house using the flash on your smartphone camera. If there are any evil spirits in any of the rooms, they will become visible on your camera as orbs.

2) Remove and destroy all objects that have anything to do with false religions [including statues of false gods (idols) and ceremonial masks], witchcraft, voodoo, spiritism, Santeria, Satanism and the Occult (including gothic jewelry and good luck charms) ... remove all heavy metal and hip-hop music (which have their basis in Satanism) ... and all pornographic materials. Remove, destroy and sprinkle with holy water.

3) Fill a spray bottle with holy water and walk throughout the house spraying a mist of holy water in every room, closet and hallway.

4) Use Sacramentals (blessed medals, crucifix, holy water, blessed oil and exorcized salt).

5) Ask a priest to bless your home.

Never contact psychic-mediums

or paranormal investigators!

Always stay within the Catholic Church.

WAR TO TAKE BACK AMERICA

2017

What we have in the United States is an "illusion of democracy." Presidents are not elected by the people; they are "selected" by the Deep State. (The faces change, but the policies remain the same.) 

Presidential elections in the United States are nothing more than "political theater" -- for a "dumbed down" electorate. But the 2016 Presidential election was unlike any other. 

IT WAS A REVOLUTION!

OCCULT PRACTICE, WITCHCRAFT & SATANISM

A WARNING FOR EVERYONE

Do not love the world [all that is hostile toward God and alienated from Him] or the things of the world. [Love of the world and love of God are mutually exclusive (James 4:4).]
If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, sensual lust [“the lust of the flesh” (inordinate desire for physical gratification)], enticement for the eyes [“the lust of the eyes” (avarice or covetousness)], and a pretentious life [“the pride of life” (arrogance or willful independence from God and others)], is not from the Father but is from the world. Yet the world and its enticement are passing away. But whoever does the will of God remains forever.
(1 John 2:15-17)

The Devil will satisfy “the lust of the flesh.” The Devil will provide enticement for the eyes, the “windows to the soul.” The Devil will feed “the pride of life” -- causing one to abandon God and others.

It is the Devil who lures people (young and old) into witchcraft, Satanism and Occult practice. The Devil offers excitement, diversion, mystery and intrigue to people fighting boredom… he provides friendship and support for people in lonely, tragic circumstances… and he seduces people who are fascinated with the paranormal and the dark side of life.

Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils. 
(1 Timothy 4:1)

For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine but, following their own desires and insatiable curiosity, will accumulate teachers and will stop listening to the truth and will be diverted to myths. 
(2 Timothy 4:3-4)

BLACK MASS, BAPHOMET AND DEVIL WORSHIP

BLACK MASS -- POLITICAL THEATRE IN AMERICA

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA

Oklahoma City is the beleaguered city where Satanists want to install a monument to Satan next to the Ten Commandments monument outside the Oklahoma State Capitol building.

"Striving to expand acceptance of beliefs in response to American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) Concerns, 'The Satanic Temple,' based in New York City, offered to donate a public monument to Oklahoma's Capitol Preservation Commission for display upon Oklahoma City's capitol grounds. Described as an 'homage' to Satan, the purpose of the monument is to complement and contrast the 'Ten Commandments' monument that already resides on the North side of the building." _ The Satanic Temple (December 2, 2013)

September 21, 2014 _ The Satanic Temple performed a Black Mass at the Oklahoma City Civic Center. While over 400 Roman Catholics gathered to pray outside the Civic Center in Oklahoma City, over 1,200 attended a Holy Hour of Reparation with Archbishop Paul S. Coakley. Only 42 ticket holders showed up to attend the Black Mass.

THE UNVEILING OF BAPHOMET
Detroit, Michigan, USA

Detroit is the beleaguered city where The Satanic Temple has a significant following. Detroit was selected for the unveiling of a 9-foot-tall Baphomet monument.

July 25, 2015 _ Hundreds of people came out to celebrate The Satanic Temple's unveiling of the Baphomet monument. Most of these young people are just curious and looking for a little excitement. It's like Halloween in July: "Sex, Drugs, Rock & Roll" -- and some Satanism too.

BLACK MASS -- DEVIL WORSHIP IN MEXICO
Catemaco, Veracruz, Mexico

 

March 13, 2015 _ This is where natives come to worship the Devil, and curious pilgrims come looking for a little excitement on the Dark Side. Live animals are sacrificed, the Devil is summoned, and people make pacts with the Devil. Curious pilgrims leave horrified by what they witness.

Curious pilgrims who attend this Black Mass will return home with a spiritual attachment. (Demons attach themselves to people, and people bring these demons home with them.) Doors have been opened -- and many will be terribly oppressed by demons. Some may be partially-possessed -- that is, having an evil spirit in one's body.

SEX DEMONS, INCUBI AND SUCCUBI

It is common for people with sexual sins (sexual fantasy, masturbation, fornication, pornography, adultery and/or homosexual practices) to be harassed or seduced nightly by sex demons (demons of lust) with vivid sexual dreams and sexually-explicit nightmares. (Sex demons can invade our dreams with pornographic fantasies of having sexual relations -- even with members of the same sex!) But some people are attacked, molested or raped "nightly" by sex demons (incubi and succubi).

“Last night as I lay on my bed, I heard someone whisper my name... Something spread my legs, and I was full of lust. It got on top of me and I could hardly breathe. I couldn't move. Then it (an “incubus”) started having sex with me! I know this sounds crazy but it happened.”

The unwanted spirit would visit her during the night. It would sexually stimulate her until she was powerless to resist. Then, she would succumb.

A few years ago, I was contacted by a man being harassed every day by sex demons (demons of lust). The attacks had been so subtle that he didn't recognize them as being demonic. At first he thought he had some kind of flea infestation in his carpet. The (invisible) fleas would attack his eyelashes, nose and ears... They would swarm around his legs -- and then swarm to his crotch, sting his genitals and sexually stimulate him.

INCUBI AND SUCCUBI

The incubus is a fallen angel -- a sex demon in male form that seduces and lies upon a woman during the night in order to have sexual relations with her. The succubus is a sex demon in female form that seduces and lies upon a man during the night in order to have sexual relations with him.

While asleep in bed, the woman or man is sexually aroused by some kind of (cold) dark presence in the room. It is a lustful presence that seduces... and stimulates. It is an entity that eventually attempts sexual penetration.

"The Nightmare" - Johann Henry Fuseli (1781)

Many women enjoy having “spiritual sex” with an incubus, a passionate lover that becomes a jealous "spirit husband." Many men enjoy having “spiritual sex” with a succubus, a passionate lover that becomes a jealous "spirit wife." Pleasant sexual arousal, seduction and carnal intercourse (during the night) can lead to unwelcomed sexual advances, molestation and rape (anytime). These sex demons feed upon the sexual energies of women and men. (The result is the deterioration of health.) Compliance with the demon’s desire is rewarded; resistance is severely punished.

When a succubus becomes a spirit wife, it can rob a man of his health and wealth, and destroy his relationships with women. When an incubus becomes a spirit husband, it can rob a woman of her health and wealth, and destroy her relationships with men.

This spirit causes failure in my relationships with men. Things spiral downward. I noticed this in my last relationship. "Oh I loved him and he, I. A promising young man when we met (but) wasn't that much by the time we went our ways."


The incubus or succubus can be summoned with a ritual found on the internet. The result can be demonic possession and a house infested with demons. (I have encountered such a case.)

Evil spirits attack and exploit weakness and vulnerability; they exasperate mental illness; and when doors are opened through sinful behavior... they enter in. In the case of the incubus or succubus, it could be sexual sin and perversion, abortion, sex magic... It could be a curse. (Incubi and succubi can be summoned and sent.) It could be dabbling in witchcraft or the Occult. But a door has been opened; consent has been given.

~ * * * ~

I know a woman who was once a victim of the sexually-stimulating attacks of an incubus. It began with a sexual relationship with a sorcerer, a practitioner of black magic. She told me he had performed “sex magic” on her. This was the “open door” -- her consent given.

Some time later, this woman (touched by evil) was working in the sex industry. She soon started her own “telephone sex” business with another man. Her perverted sexual sins provided another open door.

When the incubus entered her life, the woman welcomed the sexual pleasure it gave. She told me it would “lick” her while she was alone in bed -- but it did not end there! When I met her, she was suicidal, hearing voices… and being sexually assaulted by a demon! (Incubi and succubi are very real.)

~ * * * ~

When a woman is in mortal sin -- not in a state of grace -- prayer will have little effect on the incubus. So too, when a man is in mortal sin -- not in a state of grace -- prayer will have little effect on the succubus. And for one who has not been baptized, there is no protection.

Deliverance is possible through the

Sacraments of the Catholic Church.

If you are serious about stopping these spiritual attacks, you must get serious about living a Sacramental life -- a holy life. This means attending Daily Mass as often as possible and going to Confession as often as needed (when you fall into sin, or at least monthly). You need to grow in "sanctifying grace." [Sanctifying grace stays in the soul. It’s what makes the soul holy; it gives the soul supernatural life.] If you are unwilling to make such a commitment, you will have limited defense against these spiritual attacks.

Sometimes the "renewal of baptismal promises" is needed. Ask your priest to do the Renewal of Baptismal Promises and Sprinkling with Holy Water (as is done every Easter).

Women may need to be delivered from a “spirit husband.” Men may need to be delivered from a “spirit wife.” Some may need a formal exorcism (by a Catholic priest). All will need prayer for inner-healing.

If you are serious about stopping these NIGHTLY spiritual attacks, become a DAILY Communicant.

The incubus or succubus will return (Matthew 12:43-45 / Luke 11:24-26). And when it does return, it must find all doors closed! It must find the person in a “state of grace” and “Sacramentally” fortified.

And whenever you feel the touch (or sting) of the sex demon, cry out to Mary as a child cries out for his mother: "Mother Mary, Queen of Heaven, please pray for me." / "Mother Mary, please protect me during the night."

 

INCUBUS IN SCRIPTURE

The Nephilim appeared on earth in those days, as well as later, after the sons of God (fallen angels) had intercourse with the daughters of human beings, who bore them sons. They were the heroes of old, the men of renown. (Genesis 6:4)

[The belief that semi-divine human beings (giants) -- the heroes of old -- once lived on earth.]

The Bible generally regards them in a negative light (Numbers 13:33; Ezekiel 32:27). The point here is that even these heroes, filled with vitality from their semi-divine origin, come under God’s decree.

He did not forgive the princes of old (the mighty destroyed in the flood) who rebelled long ago in their might. (Sirach 16:7) _ New American Bible

~ * * * ~

The incubus is often referred to as a “spirit husband.” The succubus is often referred to as a “spirit wife.” A severe case of incubus is found in the Book of Tobit (Chapter 6:13-18).

“…Now listen to me, brother (Tobiah); we will speak about this girl (Sarah) tonight, so that we may arrange her engagement to you. Then when we return from Rages [Media (North-West Iran)], we will take her and bring her back with us to your house.”

But Tobiah said to (Archangel) Raphael in reply, “Brother Azariah (Archangel Raphael had disguised himself as a man), I have heard that she has already been given in marriage to seven husbands, and that they have died in the bridal chamber. On the very night they approached her, they would die. I have also heard it said that it was a demon that killed them (the demon of lust, Asmodeus).

So now I too am afraid of this demon, because it is in love with her and does not harm her; but it kills any man who wishes to come close to her…

Raphael said to him: “Do you not remember your father’s commands? He ordered you to marry a woman from your own ancestral family. Now listen to me, brother; do not worry about that demon. Take Sarah. I know that tonight she will be given to you as your wife…

When you go into the bridal chamber, take some of the fish’s liver and the heart, and place them on the embers intended for incense, and an odor will be given off. (In 700 B.C., these organs were believed to have healing powers.) As soon as the demon smells the odor, it will flee and never again show itself near her. Then when you are about to have intercourse with her, both of you must first get up to pray. Beg the Lord of heaven that mercy and protection be granted you… (Tobit 6:13-18) _ New American Bible

The Summa Theologica

St. Thomas Aquinas

...It is not contrary to the truth of the holy angels that through their assumed bodies they appear to be living men, although they are really not. For the bodies are assumed merely for this purpose, that the spiritual properties and works of the angels may be manifested by the properties of man...

Sensation is entirely a vital function. Consequently it can in no way be said that the angels perceive through the organs of their assumed bodies. Yet such bodies are not fashioned in vain; for they are not fashioned for the purpose of sensation through them, but to this end, that by such bodily organs the spiritual powers of the angels may be made manifest...

As Augustine says (De Civ. Dei xv): "Many persons affirm that they have had the experience, or have heard from such as have experienced it, that the Satyrs and Fauns, whom the common folk call incubi (and succubi), have often presented themselves before women, and have sought and procured intercourse with them. Hence it is folly to deny it.

[Now giants (the Nephilim) were upon the earth in those days. For after the sons of God went in to (had intercourse with) the daughters of men, and they brought forth children, these are the mighty men (the heroes) of old, men of renown. (Genesis 6:4) Douay-Rheims Bible]

But God's holy angels could not fall in such fashion before the deluge. Hence by the sons of God are to be understood the sons of Seth, who were good; while by the daughters of men the Scripture designates those who sprang from the race of Cain. Nor is it to be wondered at that giants should be born of them; for they were not all giants, albeit there were many more before than after the deluge." Still if some are occasionally begotten from demons, it is not from the seed of such demons, nor from their assumed bodies, but from the seed of men taken for the purpose; as when the demon assumes first the form of a woman, and afterwards of a man; just as they take the seed of other things for other generating purposes, as Augustine says (De Trin. iii), so that the person born is not the child of a demon, but of a man.

UFO DECEPTION

Fox Mulder’s Poster,

The X-Files (1993–2002)

From “The Coming Counterfeit”
By Mark Mallett
(Comments in red are mine.)
Published: April 8, 2010

STARRY DECEPTION?

“I am not certain that we can ignore the increasing manifestation of ‘UFOs’ and the deception that may accompany this. There is a belief within the New Age that the mythology of the gods and the human race was ‘birthed’ from aliens… aliens who will return at some point to bring us into an age of peace and harmony. (Of course, this is nonsense.) One researcher estimates that there are six ‘sightings’ somewhere in the world every hour.” (This is not nonsense.)

“I agree with many other Christians that these (UFOs) are deceptions, but on a couple different levels. For one thing, in those who have been ‘abducted’ (by aliens -- which are demons), there is often left behind a ‘residue’ of after-effects which are very similar to demonic possession, including at times the smell of sulfur.”

[There are no aliens, and there is no extraterrestrial threat. As with “sleep paralysis,” the “alien abduction” experience is a demonic attack that can be abruptly stopped by crying out the Name, Jesus! (Philippians 2:9-11)]

“While there appears to be a demonic element to UFO abductions, there is also evidence that governments possess far more advanced technology than many realize. The ability to produce ‘anti-gravity’ effects has been proven, but never allowed to proliferate in the private sector: it could very well be that UFOs are, in fact, not driven by little green men from Mars, but the product of highly advanced earth technology. This is precisely the conclusion of some who have been involved in high levels of the New Age, but have converted to Christianity. It is also the conclusion of some brilliant scientists and inventors in our time who have been silenced or eliminated when their discoveries and inventions have ‘gone too far.’ Is a coordinated ‘UFO invasion’ possible? Yes, it’s possible… but not from aliens, rather, powerful people wielding powerful tools of manipulation (and control).

 REMEMBER THIS?

12/4/1985 _ U.S. President Ronald Reagan remarks to students and faculty @ Fallston High School, Fallston, Maryland ... 9/21/1987 _ President Reagan’s Address to The General Assembly @ The United Nations (UN), Manhattan, New York City, NY ... 5/4/1988 _ President Reagan’s Address to Members and Guests of National Strategy Forum @ Palmer House Hilton, Chicago, Illinois.

For those involved in Satanism (Freemasonry) and black magic (rituals), it is an Occultic rite to inform their victims, usually in veiled messages, of what they will be doing to them. For those with power and money (members of secret societies conspiring to establish a New World Order), it may often be done through the media in very non-implicating ways. Have the proliferation of Hollywood UFO movies where ‘aliens’ invade or attack or save the earth been a subtle way of projecting a message to the public under the guise of entertainment? (A form of Conditioning.)

Several years ago, I was having a reoccurring dream in which the stars would begin to spin… and then change into fleets of strange, droning aircraft. Some time after, in an instant, I was given to understand what this dream was, and it frightened me (more so because I thought it was crazy!) But now that I have come to understand that such technologies exist and have been witnessed by very credible people (who said the UFOs they saw were not aliens, but definitely man-made), it makes sense in the bigger picture. But it is still disturbing given the conditioning that we continue to see in the media for the public to accept these flying saucers as visitors from space. Can you imagine the panic…?

Considering how widespread is the world’s fascination with UFOs (a sign of the times), this is a deception we should keep in mind, for it may play a significant role in the larger deception that will seduce mankind. [Therefore, God is sending them a deceiving power so that they may believe the lie, that all who have not believed the truth but have approved wrongdoing may be condemned. (2 Thessalonians 11-12)] If you see UFOs appear over your cities some day, remember what was written here.”

HALLOWEEN / SAMHAIN

While most people innocently celebrate Halloween as a children’s night of scary costumes and candy (“Trick or Treat”)… neo-pagans, such as Druids and Wiccans (witches) -- followers of the Old Religion -- celebrate Samhain, a night for remembering the dead and for practicing divination concerning the future.

SAMHAIN (Summer’s End)

Celtic New Year & “Festival of the Dead”

 

“When the sun’s power wanes, and the strength of the gods of darkness, winter, and the underworld grows great . . . On the night of Samhain, the door to realms beyond mortal comprehension is opened, the veil between life and death is at its thinnest . . . It is believed that at this time of the year the souls of the dead can walk among the living . . . This night (October 31) and all of the first week of November once blazed with ritual fires, upon which the early Celts symbolically burned all the frustrations and anxieties of the preceding year.” _ R. L. Ellison, The Solitary Druid 

This reminds me of the “Cremation of Care” ceremony at the Bohemian Grove, which includes the burning of a mummy-like effigy named “Care” at the foot of a 40-foot-tall concrete owl.

The Great Owl at the Bohemian Grove represents Moloch. Moloch is the god/demon of child murder. Some also believe the Great Owl represents “the ability to see in the dark,” and is associated in that sense with the All Seeing Eye. It obviously has some hidden meaning.

To purge themselves of worldly concerns, members of the Bohemian Club -- a private club of influential men (the ruling elite) which meets annually in Sonoma County, CA -- participate in a “Cremation of Care” ceremony -- which is, a mock child sacrifice.

Cremation of Care Ceremony at the Bohemian Grove

Lighting a torch and turning towards a funeral pyre, the High Priest says: “Great Owl of Bohemia, we thank thee for thy adjuration.”

The High Priest lights the pyre and continues: “Well should we know our living Flame of Fellowship can sear the grasping claws of Care, throttle his impious screams and send his cowering carcass from this Grove. ‘Begone, detested Care, begone! Once more we banish thee!’ Let the all potent spirit of this lamp by its cleansing and ambient fire encircle the mystic scene. ‘Hail Fellowship! Begone Dull Care! Once again, Midsummer sets us free!”

Is this a ritual cleansing of conscience for members of secret societies... an “absolution” for sins/crimes against humanity? And what is this “all potent spirit” that cleanses consciences with ambient fire?

Satanists established October 31 as an “All Demons’ Night” -- “All Hallows’ Eve” -- a festival and major “sabbat” for Satanists and witches.

A sabbat is “a secret rendezvous of witches and sorcerers for worshiping the Devil, characterized by orgiastic rites, dances, feasting, etc.”

MENTAL ILLNESS AND THE DEMONIC

Catholic priests work with mental-health professionals to discern what is mental illness and what is demonic possession. In fact, the Catholic Church demands this cooperation before considering an exorcism.

Exorcism _ St. Francis Borgia 

Listed in the Roman Ritual are five indicators of possible demonic possession: 1) speaking foreign or ancient languages of which the possessed has no prior knowledge; 2) supernatural abilities and strength; 3) knowledge of hidden or remote things which the possessed has no way of knowing; 4) an aversion to anything holy; 5) profuse blasphemy and/or sacrilege. When these (obvious) signs of possible demonic possession are absent, the “rite of exorcism” is usually denied by the local bishop.

In his book, An Exorcist Tells His Story, Fr. Gabriele Amorth writes about Demonic Possession: “This occurs when Satan takes full possession of the body (not the soul); he speaks and acts without the knowledge or consent of the victim, who therefore is morally blameless.” Fr. Amorth advises, “to fix a set ‘model’ for demonic possession would be a serious mistake; the affliction runs the gamut of symptoms and severity.”

There are other (less obvious) signs of possible demonic possession (and partial possession), but these are usually considered signs of (and dismissed as) demonic oppression or obsession -- or misdiagnosed as mental illness. Therefore, the rite of exorcism is not warranted.

~ * * * ~

While it is true that "full possession" is rare, "partial possession" is quite common. Partial possession exists when a demon enters one’s body and takes control over a specific area of one’s life, a specific aspect of one’s character and personality...

The partially possessed person is "demonized" -- that is, has an evil spirit inside the body. Such a person may sense that something is wrong -- but no connection is made with the demonic. One can be full of anger, have uncontrollable rage, and be violent... One can be full of lust and have insatiable desires or unnatural passions... One can be full of fear, have crippling phobias or experience paralysis... Although one is able to function normally most of the time, one suffers internally with something from which there seems to be no relief. The demon remains hidden within the body -- until it is provoked by a priest or deliverance minister. And when the demon feels threatened, there will be manifestations that expose it.

~ * * * ~

Priests work with mental-health professionals to discern what is mental illness and what is demonic possession. But during this time of testing and observation, a truly possessed person may not necessarily show signs of possession.

[“The fallen angels did not lose their natural knowledge by their sin; nor did they lose their angelic intellect.” _ Saint Thomas Aquinas, The Summa Theologica]

Demons often hide within the victim’s body during the discernment process... Observation by a mental-health professional poses no threat to them. However, provocation by a priest will cause demons to manifest and reveal themselves. But today this rarely happens.

~ * * * ~

Schizophrenia _ People diagnosed with schizophrenia can experience bizarre hallucinations, delusions… disorganized thinking and hearing internal voices. But are these only psychotic manifestations?

Allentown, PA (2011) _ A psychiatric nurse took me to see a woman who was locked away in a private, psychiatric facility. The woman was suicidal and being treated for “schizophrenia.” Although heavily medicated and sedated, the voices in her head did not stop. She described a constant “chatter” that would neither give her a moment of peace nor allow her to sleep at night.

This woman knew she was not schizophrenic. She exclaimed, “NOT VOICES -- CHATTER!” But the staff at this psychiatric facility did not understand what she was saying. Rather, they kept her heavily medicated and sedated with powerful, antipsychotic drugs and locked up behind closed doors.

In one email, the woman wrote: “I’ve had soooo many out of my body experiences (supernatural abilities) again. I’ll have to explain more explicit about that… I have had two kinds of light. the bad, and the good. each side was big experience… but I feel like I have no god, and he doesn’t exist, I always feel so lost, alone. and this is why I get suicidal thought, cause I feel no one is helping me, and I lose all interests, but dear, death is here, it’s touching me (physical contact by a demon). I feel like life is sad...death is better. death is perfection. like suicides my job. do you really think I will go to hell if I kill myself? or is your god so trusting and forgiving, and he’d just take me cause he loves everybody and doesn’t want them to suffer?”

In another email, she wrote: “…I’m not used to all this god stuff, I’ve really only known the other side (the dark side), and all the things we would have to do to those animals… and their was lots of blood involved, cutting, and a whole lot of sexual and physical abuse (Satanic ritual abuse; profuse blasphemy and/or sacrilege). I had five abortions from that sick man. and I didn’t want his evil parts of me in my body, so I aborted them all. It was constant rape (extreme trauma) and he’d put some kind of powder in the blood to drink (black magic). I think it made us in more of his control, so we couldn’t resist, so it made it easier for him to control us. I cant talk no more,....they (?) want me off the computer…”

I knew the psychiatric nurse from another case; and, the possessed woman was one of her patients when she worked in the state hospital. I still remember how (unnaturally) cold the woman’s (temperature-controlled) room was -- evidence of a demonic presence.

~ * * * ~

Q: Can you imagine how many possessed people are heavily medicated and sedated with powerful, antipsychotic drugs and locked up behind closed doors in state hospitals and private, psychiatric facilities?

A: However many there may be, one thing is certain. Their numbers are growing!

Abandoning Christianity, many people are turning to the Occult… Living in a hostile and aggressive secularist (Godless) society/culture, we can expect to encounter more and more people under the influence of the demonic.

Dissociative Identity Disorder / Multiple Personality Disorder _ People diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder can experience dissociative amnesia… and “switching” to alternate identities when under stress. But are these only psychotic manifestations?

Oakland, CA (1991) _ A young woman had been misdiagnosed as having MPD (Multiple Personality Disorder). Her psychotherapist did not realize that her “multiple personalities” were actually demons.

[The reality of “Satanic ritual abuse” has been investigated, and denied by many, over the years... but God has allowed me to witness the “trauma” -- the aftermath -- of Satanic ritual abuse.]

IS SATANIC RITUAL ABUSE REAL? 

CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING TESTIMONY.

In August 1991, I was told by a friend about two people who were good in spiritual deliverance. I wasn’t sure I wanted to talk to them. I was afraid that they would tell me that I had to make drastic changes in my life. I wasn’t prepared to give up the lifestyle I was leading.

Since I was very young, I had been involved with a Satanic cult. I was born into the cult and forced to perform hideous acts. Because of all this abuse I developed severe emotional problems. My therapist thought I was a multiple personality -- and I was convinced that these separate entities were good and that they should be there. I enjoyed being different people at times and I would often ask these entities to perform tasks that I didn’t want to (perform).

But life was not all calm for me. I was often suicidal, very depressed, always in some sort of crisis and very self-destructive. I wanted to leave the Satanic cult, but the “personalities” kept drawing me back to the cult. I hated going to the Satanic rituals, but I couldn’t stop. I was so oppressed I couldn’t think of anything but the horrible experiences I had gone through. I was preoccupied with revenge and self-pity. I was constantly reaching out for help, which I sometimes didn’t get. I burned out friends because I was so emotionally needy.

God prepared me to accept what Gene and Mary had to say to me. I didn’t want to believe at first that these “personalities” were actually demons. I didn’t want them to leave. I liked them, cherished them, and didn’t know how to live without them. But when Gene and Mary prayed for me, I knew they were right. Several times I was sick with a fever or in pain, and when Gene prayed, I was healed. The demon “personalities” knew that Gene and Mary were Christians and were able to help deliver me. The demons spat at them and wanted to bite them. The demons cursed them and yelled and screamed.

But when I wanted them to leave, they had no right to stay when Gene and Mary commanded them to leave. So many demons were cast out, some went easily, and others took a lot of work. Memories had to be brought to the surface, hurt emotions had to be healed and forgiveness given to the perpetrators before some demons would leave. We met together many times and Gene and Mary were so loving and gentle to me. Though there were a few times when Gene became firm because I wouldn’t listen or was being stubborn.

Most of all the demons are gone and much healing has taken place. I feel so much better. No longer do I wallow in self-pity or obsessively think about the horrible tortures I had endured. No longer do I hate my parents who did all this to me. I know that God has restored to me all the things that Satan had stolen from me. I know that God has blessed me and has turned a horrible past into a promising future.

Demonic Possession occurs within the body. Demonic Oppression occurs outside the body. Demonic Obsession occurs in the mind.

In his book, An Exorcist Tells His Story, Fr. Gabriele Amorth explains:

Demonic Oppression _ “There is no possession, loss of consciousness, or involuntary action and word,” just severe to mild events that plague the individual. Fr. Amorth points to Job’s severe afflictions and St. Paul’s thorn in his flesh (2 Corinthians 12:7). Fr. Amorth reveals that he and his fellow exorcists “run into a great number of people who have been struck by the devil in their health, jobs or relationships.”

Demonic Obsession _ “Symptoms include sudden attacks, at times ongoing, of obsessive thoughts, sometimes even rationally absurd, but of such nature that the victim is unable to free himself.” Moreover, “the obsessed person lives in a perpetual state of prostration, desperation, and attempts at suicide. Almost always, obsession influences dreams.”

“Is your faith stronger than your fascination?”

 

 

“When you come into the land which the LORD, your God, is giving you, you shall not learn to imitate the abominations of the peoples there.

Let there not be found among you anyone who immolates his son or daughter in the fire, nor a fortune-teller, soothsayer, charmer, diviner, or caster of spells, nor one who consults ghosts and spirits or seeks oracles from the dead.

Anyone who does such things is an abomination to the LORD, and because of such abominations the LORD, your God, is driving these nations out of your way.” (Deuteronomy 18:9-12)

All forms of divination are to be rejected: recourse to Satan or demons, conjuring up the dead or other practices falsely supposed to “unveil” the future. Consulting horoscopes, astrology, palm reading, interpretation of omens and lots, the phenomena of clairvoyance, and recourse to mediums all conceal a desire for power over time, history, and, in the last analysis, other human beings, as well as a wish to conciliate hidden powers. They contradict the honor, respect, and loving fear that we owe to God alone. (Catechism of the Catholic Church 2116)

All practices of magic or sorcery, by which one attempts to tame Occult powers, so as to place them at one’s service and have a supernatural power over others -- even if this were for the sake of restoring their health -- are gravely contrary to the virtue of religion. These practices are even more to be condemned when accompanied by the intention of harming someone, or when they have recourse to the intervention of demons. Wearing charms is also reprehensible. Spiritism often implies divination or magical practices; the Church for her part warns the faithful against it. Recourse to so-called traditional cures does not justify either the invocation of evil powers or the exploitation of another’s credulity. (Catechism of the Catholic Church 2117)

Superstition is a departure from the worship that we give to the (One) True God. It is manifested in idolatry, as well as in various forms of divination and magic. (Catechism of the Catholic Church 2138)

“I will sprinkle clean water upon you to cleanse you from all your impurities, and from all your idols I will cleanse you.

I will give you a new heart and place a new spirit within you, taking from your bodies your stony hearts and giving you natural hearts.

I will put My Spirit within you and make you live by My statutes, careful to observe My decrees.” (Ezekiel 36:25-27)

A Christian reflection

on the “New Age”

#4 _ NEW AGE AND CHRISTIAN FAITH IN CONTRAST:

The New Age which is dawning will be peopled by perfect, androgynous (hermaphroditic) beings who are totally in command of the cosmic laws of nature. [For example: biotechnology (engineering and manipulating the genetic makeup, the DNA, of organisms) and nanotechnology (engineering and controlling matter at the atomic level)] In this scenario, Christianity (and Christian morality) has to be eliminated and give way to a global religion (a religion of naturalism) and a (totalitarian) new world order.

HOW DEMONS AFFECT OBJECTS

When people cease to believe in the One True God, they will believe in anything: materialism, superstition, the Occult… spiritism, witchcraft, divination… animism (the worship of spirits in trees, rocks, rivers…) and/or the worship of mother earth (Gaia). The worship of idols of pagan gods and goddesses is the worship of demons. 

Demons can affect objects directly, as in a case of the physical movement of objects… or preternatural effects on lights and other electrical appliances (demonic infestation). But demons usually affect objects indirectly, by tempting people to do evil (like the desecration of churches). 

Demons can also “attach to” or “reside with” objects: New Age crystals, idols (gods and goddesses of false religions), objects used in pagan rituals (ceremonial masks, candles, knives, chalices, cauldrons...), objects of the Occult (amulets, good luck charms… Ouija boards, Tarot cards), cursed books written by Occultists (like Helena P. Blavatsky, Alice Bailey and Aleister Crowley) and objects used in witchcraft, voodoo, Santeria and Satanism... 

Such objects can be cursed and bring a dark presence into your home. Cursed objects can serve as a conduit for evil. They can be the source of a demonic infestation. This can cause fear, obsessive thoughts, emotional stress, anger, arguments… anxiety, depression, nightmares, insomnia, sleep paralysis… headaches, nausea, digestion problems… and other physical ailments due to a weakened immune system. Any object connected to a dark, diabolical force will carry a “spiritual attachment.” 

Cursed objects (like objects of the Occult) must be removed from the home. They must be destroyed in such a way that they no longer resemble what they once were and/or blessed with holy water and buried. (Some people bury cursed objects with a blessed St. Benedict medal.) 

~ * * * ~ 

The LORD said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt: (...) take some of its blood (the blood of a lamb) and apply it to the two doorposts and the lintel of the houses (...) But for you the blood will mark the houses where you are. Seeing the blood, I will pass over you; thereby, when I strike the land of Egypt, no destructive blow will come upon you. (Exodus 12:1,7,13) 

The blood of the Lamb protects.

Pleading the blood of Jesus on an object (or, applying the blood of Jesus to an object) will drive away evil spirits. It will also protect an object from people under the influence of evil spirits. (People who desecrate Catholic statues are under the influence of evil spirits.) 

~ * * * ~

Before my friend Ashok left for India, he offered me a statue -- an idol of Ganesh, a Hindu god. I accepted this gift because I know that evil spirits can “attach” to idols of false gods. (The worship of Hindu gods and goddesses is the worship of demons!) So, I accepted the gift. My intention was to protect others from something that could possibly be harmful. (Bringing such an object into one's home can be the cause of a demonic infestation.)

I pled the blood of Jesus on (I applied the blood of Jesus to) the idol of Ganesh. And when Ashok was gone, I destroyed it.

~ * * * ~

Any object exposed to a diabolical force can carry a “spiritual attachment.” For example, antique furniture can have a spiritual attachment and bring a dark presence into your home. [Always spray antique furniture with (a mist of) holy water.]

~ * * * ~

“From long experience I have learned that there is nothing like 'holy water' to put devils to flight.” _ St. Teresa of Avila 

Sacramentals such as the crucifix, blessed medals and icons, exorcised salt and holy water can help in restoring peace to your home. (I have used holy water to clear demon-infested homes.)

Sacramentals are sacred signs instituted by the Church. [These blessed objects] prepare men to receive the fruit [the chief effect] of the Sacraments and sanctify different circumstances of life [various occasions in life are rendered holy]. (Catechism of the Catholic Church #1677) 

Like many Catholics, I wear a blessed Miraculous Medal: “O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.” And in my home, I have a blessed canvas of The Divine Mercy.

HOW TO COPE WHEN UNDER A CURSE

By Fr. John H. Hampsch, CMF

One of the most disconcerting types of suffering is that which results from being targeted by another person as the object of an evil curse, (similar to a hex, which is a witchcraft-induced evil spell). A curse or hex may take any of countless manifestations; and, in many cases, the victim may never know who the culprit is who imprecated the curse or hex.

A curse may be cultural (Gypsy, Indian, Italian, etc.); it may be of an Occult or Satanic origin, or simply an act of perverse retaliation as a kind of vendetta -- simply an enmity-engendered hatred from another person. Invoking curses is a frequent practice among those involved in any of the many evil forms of the Occult, such as Santeria, Voodoo, Obeah, etc.

Anyone who invokes a curse is certainly (knowingly or otherwise) under demonic influence. By invoking a curse such a person commits the most heinous sin against the virtue of charity that is possible; it delights Satan, but calls down the vengeance of God upon the one responsible. The most serious type of curse is one that turns a good Christian into an irreligious or anti-religious person. The most difficult type of curse to break is one invoked by a family member or by a living or deceased ancestor.

The following may be regarded as effective Catholic norms for responding, if you are unfortunate enough to be targeted by a curse or hex:

1) Your success in drawing down God’s power against a curse will be in proportion to the level of your faith. In the words of Jesus, “According to your faith it will be done” (Matthew 9:29). It helps to elicit a faith-filled prayer of deliverance from a priest, a mature Christian or a prayer group. Like healing or any prayer-induced miracle, curse-lifting is not a frequent occurrence. Why? Because most people pridefully overestimate their own faith; they are satisfied with their low level of faith that is enough to induce them to pray frantically for relief, but not enough to humbly beg for a deeper degree of faith that would trigger that sought-for relief. Praying for a cure is less important than praying for enough faith to induce that cure. The latter must come first, as Jesus taught when correcting his apostles’ failed attempt at exorcism (Mark 9:19,23).

2) Make frequent and fervent use of the Sacraments -- especially by very humble and contrite confessions, and by receiving Communion with exquisite devotion and love. The Enemy’s power, even when operating through malicious human agents, is vastly reduced when these Sacraments are received, not routinely, but humbly and devoutly.

3) Never reverse a curse by calling down harm on the person or persons responsible for this flood of evil. (See 1 Peter 3:9 and Romans 12:17-21).

4) Stand meditatively and expectantly beneath the cross of Jesus to be covered symbolically by His Precious Blood as a shield to deflect the onslaughts of evil in the afflicting curse. By that “atoning blood” (Romans 3:24) shed on the cross, the forces of evil are disarmed and conquered, as Paul says (Colossians 2:15).

5) Do the four things that Jesus asks us to do in relating to our enemies, like those who invoke curses on us; these are outlined in Luke 6:27-28. The four things are: Love your enemy, do good to your enemy, pray for your enemy and call down God’s special blessings on your enemy (see also 1 Peter 3:9). Love of enemies is a challenge, but loving in this context does not mean liking. It means benevolent love, or “agape” love, as St. Thomas Aquinas says. This love consists in desiring good for one’s enemies. Yearn for their salvation, not their damnation; desire that they repent and become holy. In this endeavor, St. Augustine’s maxim is pertinent: Hate the sin but love the sinner, as God does.

Every Christian must sincerely desire that bad persons become good, like the great terrorist, Saul, who, when converted became St. Paul, a champion of Christianity; or, like the thief, Dismas, when dying next to Jesus, was canonized by him: “This day you will be with me in Paradise” (Luke 23:43). In the words of Jude 22, “Snatch others from the fire and save them…show mercy.” James 5:20 speaks of the amazing benefits of converting a sinner from his life of sin. If you turn from sin the one cursing you, that enemy will befriend you for all eternity.

6) Until the time arrives for you to be released from the curse, strive to conform to even hidden moves of Providence, with faith-reliance on Jesus as demon-evictor (Mark 16:17). Offer up your sufferings that result from the curse or curses. Like all suffering, disappointment, adversity, etc., this unique type of suffering should be united -- even joyfully -- with Jesus’ redemptive suffering (1 Peter 4:13). Don’t waste suffering that could otherwise lead to your sanctification and consequent reward. Carrying this cross courageously infuriates the Devil and his demons lurking behind this evil. Sustaining the affliction will grace-fill your soul, help other souls, and reward you for all eternity (see Hebrews 6:10-11).

7) For curse-breaking, invoke the angels and saints, your guardian angel and patron saint, Archangel Michael, and the especially the sinless Virgin Mary who is prophesied to crush the head of the sinful serpent (Genesis 3:15).

Of course, you should seek relief from the effects of a curse, as you would for sickness or any hurtful situation. But meanwhile, as you await your release, use your curse-caused suffering; though it is admittedly hurtful, it may well be the very sacrifice used by God to obtain salvation for your persecutors, as well as your own sanctification and your unimaginable heavenly reward.

The bottom line: After our lifelong struggle against evil, the last chapter of the Bible tells how it will all end. With Christ, we are the winners!
