I’m reading a book on exorcism and it says that one of the ways a person can become possessed is through trauma or abuse. The trauma opens a deep wound in us that is difficult to heal. The deeply wounded experience severe negative thoughts and emotions, which open the door to the devil.
There are several different types of possession and it can sometimes manifest as pestering us with difficulties and illnesses that further limit our ability to recover. All to weaken and control us.
I’m wondering if many of the crazies in antifa, screaming liberals, and school shooters are actually traumatized in some way, and under some form of possession. Also, the level of abuse of children and teens could be a way to wound them so deeply that they are easy prey for the devil. Devils can actually control our bodies. Think of that wild eyed stare in the mug shots. Think of how many people are sick right now.
Our protection is freedom from sin, invoking God, Sacraments, sacramentals, and our Blessed Mother. We took God out of schools so children don’t become aware that they can invoke God’s help and protection.
Very interesting observations.
Prayers up.
