Defeating Dark Angels: Breaking Demonic Oppression in the Believer's Life

Product Information

Also remember if you’re saved, He will never leave you, and you always have the helper, the Holy Spirit!!! He’s saved me more times than I can count!!! Catholic Answers Magazine: How did you get into the profession of demonology? You describe it almost as a calling. Follow the Church’s rules. Follow the exorcist’s directions. Don’t speak to the demons, and don’t respond to the demons. Pray. If you are a follower of Jesus, you are on the frontlines of this cosmic battle. Jesus introduced His kingdom into the world like a tiny seed (Matthew 13:31–32), and it is growing as people discover the truth of the gospel message and turn to Him. But it’s pushing against a firmly established demonic structure in this world. That structure is fighting tooth and claw against people knowing Jesus personally and growing in His righteousness. In the meta-analysis, which was published in November in the journal Frontiers in Psychiatry, the researchers looked at 13 studies of the incubus phenomenon that included nearly 1,800 people. The different studies came from various countries, including Canada, the United States, China, Japan, Italy and Mexico.

According to Fr. Fortea, your denomination doesn’t matter. You don’t have to be Roman Catholic. What truly matters is that you make a good-faith attempt to act in ways which are objectively, scripturally good. But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, “It is only by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, that this fellow drives out demons.” (Matthew 12:22–24, New International Version) Even though Jesus has demonstrated His power and glory on the cross, the devil is still hard at work. One of Jesus’ early followers wrote, “We know... that the whole world is under the control of the evil one” (1 John 5:19, NIV).

Conclusion

I, (Name), a faithless sinner, renew and ratify today in thy hands the vows of my Baptism; I renounce forever satan, his pomps and works; and I give myself entirely to Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Wisdom, to carry my cross after Him all the days of my life, and to be more faithful to Him than I have ever been before. Humility forms the links of your chainmail, keeping you safe. Don’t neglect this elusive quality if you want to be safe from demonic activity. Invoke the Authority of Christ

The Church wisely says that possessed people need exorcism, not deliverance prayer. Deliverance prayer generally doesn’t work on possession, as that situation requires the full apostolic authority that Jesus gave to the apostles. even because of the extraordinary character of the revelations. Therefore, so that I would not become arrogant, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to trouble me—so that I would not become arrogant. I asked the Lord three times about this, that it would depart from me. But he said to me, “My grace is enough for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” So then, I will boast most gladly about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may reside in me. To further support the believers’ authority in Christ even over the angelic realm, in 1 Corinthians 6:3, Paul said that one day believers will judge angels (1 Cor 6:3). You loved the world so much that u gave ur only begotten son to die for ur sins so that whoever should believe in him shall have Eternal life. In the paper, the researchers speculated about a possible link between the incubus phenomenon and sudden unexpected death syndrome, a situation in which a healthy person inexplicably dies in his or her sleep.prayer idea: I pray for Your protection as I begin this day. You are my hiding place, and under Your wings I can always find refuge. Protect me from trouble wherever I go, and keep evil far from me. No matter where I am, I will look to You as my Protector, the one who fights for me every day. When ministering to the demonically oppressed, we should use Scripture, both when rebuking the devil and when counseling the person on how to get free from the oppression and stay free. As I now interiorly relinquish what belongs to me exteriorly into thy hands, I entrust to thee the protection of those exterior goods against the evil one, so that, knowing that they now belong to thee, he cannot touch them. One of the key biblical passages on preparing for spiritual warfare was written by Paul. It’s the next part of the verses quoted from Him above:

I needed this. I feel like I’m barely holding on right now. My mind feels like it’s running wild with so many messed up thoughts all the time. And right now, especially. Love was randomly misconstrued for hurting others. All I could think of was: “Stop trying to destroy my heart! I know what love is and God has it! I won’t let you twist or change the word “love” into something horrible.” But I’m not giving up! I’ve worked hard these past few months to reaffirm my faith in God, to seek him and I refuse to let the lies that Satan tries to feed me control me.The important thing is to focus on human free will and our relationship with God. The demons are not central players here; we give them sway in the world only through our choices. Their job is to tempt us, but we make the decisions to follow those promptings. So, in a sense, they are behind all the evil, but it is we who allow evil to manifest. You need to have a relationship with Jesus Christ. Do not mention these terms to police or doctors as they will try to have you committed. You are NOT crazy. Stuff is happening to the chosen ones. This is why there isn’t a lot of info out there. Most people who go through this end up homeless, destitute and driven insane because they want to shut you up and eliminate you as a threat to the kingdom of darkness.

I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” Some people doubt the existence of the devil, believing that he is a human construct to explain the presence of evil. Others have perhaps an unhealthy interest in the demonic. The Church teaches that demons do indeed exist. What are demons, and who is Satan? We are blessed to have a growing number of counseling clients who have seen the power of Christ in their lives. Most demonic interference can be handled by a Catholic lay deliverance ministry, such as Unbound. Only extreme cases should be dealt with via the Rite of Exorcism, and as a last resort at that. In other words, once all other options are explored and determined to not be the cause of a person’s ills (e.g., psychological diagnosis, biological disease), exorcism should be sought. Most exorcists have a team of trusted people who act as consultants on various fields of expertise, including medical and psychological interventions. There is always a thorough evaluation for a person who is suspected of demonic possession, and when it is determined that there is no natural cause of the affliction, an exorcism is performed. (Note: Do not seek an “exorcism” from anyone other than a priest!)Some might argue that Christ had authority over demons, which he specifically gave to his apostles (Matt 8:19), but other believers do not have that authority. However, in Scripture, others, outside of Jesus and the apostles, cast out demons. The seventy who followed Christ also cast out demons. In Luke 10:17, it says, “Then the seventy-two returned with joy, saying, ‘Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name!” In Luke 10:19, Christ said to them: “Look, I have given you authority to tread on snakes and scorpions and on the full force of the enemy, and nothing will hurt you.” Also, Philip, one of the early deacons, cast out demons. Acts 8:6-8 says, But you need to remember that it’s not your battle. Like a sheep surrounded by wolves, you are safest when you remain close to the Good Shepherd— Jesus. It’s when you get off on your own that you are at your most vulnerable. Fr. Fortea doesn’t recommend this step so that the Church can get your money or out of a sense of tradition. No—he recommends regularly attending church because it helps you to spiritually grow over time, and gives you the support you need to maintain those good choices we spoke of in the previous step.
