I suppose with all the real, painful, and dangerous problems in the world some people find comfort in battling fake problems.

I once attended a lecture by a guy who did what he considered to be scientific investigations of the paranormal or supernatural. Recordings, videos, detection of electric and magnetic phenomena, etc. He had some really weird tales to relate. I particularly recall him playing a recording of a person singing a pure tone. No human being can generate a pure tone. Any vocalization by a human being includes harmonics. But this one didn't.

After the lecture, I asked him, "Don't you realize Who you're messing around with?" His reply was, "I'm protected by the Big Guy upstairs." I sure hope he was right.

In the Catholic Church, only a priest who has been specially trained, and is authorized by his Bishop, is permitted to conduct exorcisms. It's not something for anyone else to mess with.

Michael in Los Angeles; caller

19:39

D: West of the Rockies, Michael in Los Angeles

M: Thank you for taking my call, Bob?

B: Yes, sir.

M: You're a Catholic now, correct?

B: Yes.

M: And you've were confirmed, sacrament of confirmation?

B: I was Confirmed, yes.

M: Good, that's why you can do exorcisms. I'm a Roman Catholic and I'm an exorcist, from '84 to '90 a colleague of mine and a priest who was a personal friend of John Paul II did research we found out that Catholic laymen who had the Sacrament of Confirmation can do exoticisms on any person, place, thing or situation from anywhere at any time of their choosing.

I've had eight Bishops face to face tell me that I am absolutely correct. They don't want, they will not teach it to laymen. When asked why they said “We don't want the laymen to know they have this tremendous authority and power.” It is your God given right to know that and you can do exorcisms on your children and on the situation and it's gonna lighten up for you, and I will help you.

I just finished not to long ago a seven year exorcism, it was very difficult, it was on a man who was the son of a Costa Nostra Godfather. It was a little bit difficult. Got him turned around and when he passed away he passed away as a Roman Catholic.

D: Michael, let me ask really quickly if I may, you're an exorcist, are you a lay exorcist, or are you...

M: Yes

D: … a Priest?

D: So, a lay exorcist

M: They don't want you to, in other words, the Pope knows the Cardinals know the Bishops know, Priests don't know, they want to keep the layman ignorant of of the fact that the Sacrament of Confirmation is where get the authority and power and that the fact is that you can do exorcisms, incidentally, they hid this knowledge one thousand seven hundred and ninety-four years ago, this year. We found out in 1990 and have been applying it ever since.

I've used it against some very serious politicians, etc. and told them that they were going to lose their next election if they didn't do what God wanted, they chose not to and they lost their next election.

You can use it, it's to be ubiquitous, as much of it as there is prayer there should be exorcism.

D: Michael, wouldn't that actually help people convert to Catholicism? Why would they hide something like that if indeed it empowered you to have the ability to protect yourself from the others especially when the church for many years has not been prepared to deal with exorcisms there wasn't nearly enough exorcists to deal with the onslaught of claims in doing this you would think instead of hiding it they would promote the fact that this is why you should be a Catholic and this how you can protect yourself and you can help in these cases. Why the conspiracy of hiding it in your opinion?

M: I know what it is. Satan and his demons had to do a lot of work to get that concealed and as soon as they concealed it they went after the married priesthood, you see the married priesthood was extensive, in the four hundreds, we had two popes that were married, in the five hundreds it was the last one who was married.

After that they hid that knowledge they wanted to go after the married priesthood because if it was just the celibate priesthood they knew what could happen, they knew the evils that would creep into the church, an in the ten hundreds St Peter Damien talked about all the sodomy that was going on in the church and the monasteries and in the convents and all that.

The reason that they didn't want us to know is because when we spotted the evil we could drive it out ourselves.

I've put a couple priests out myself. I would go to Mass and do an exorcisms about their Mass and they would just leave after about six months.

We laymen with the power and knowledge of exorcism can take care of any of the evils within the Church.

Right now I'm trying to get in touch with the Ukrainian Bishop to call on him to teach exorcism to the Ukrainian people so they can drive the Russians right out of their country by simply doing exorcisms.

Because you are supposed to be able, and I have used it on any person, place, thing or situation from anywhere, at any time of my choosing, just remembering that it's more powerful the closer you are to the object of the exorcism, but you can do it from the other side of the world, and when you get a lot of...

D: But how do you do it from the other side of the world when you had to deal with an up-close exorcism that took you seven years? If you're doing it from the other side of the world how do you factor in the fact of how long that's going to take?

M: When I did the exorcism of seven years he was in San Francisco or in New York or wherever he was and I was in LA.

D: So it was because of the distance that you feel was really keeping you from being successful?

M: Well that was part of the problem but it was a tough exor-, this guy was the son of a Godfather, do you understand what that means?

D: I do.

M: What he had done in his life? wow. What I'm saying is that God has made it available to us now, to return this knowledge to us, and that Bishops have to admit it when you ask that question because if they didn't admit it they would be denying the Holy Spirit, they're not going to do that, there's a difference between concealing something and denying it. So I was face-to-face with these fellows they all had to say “Yes.”.

D: Michael, thank you, we have to go to a break, thank you very much for weighing in and showing us different aspect and a different insight. I appreciate that. Bob? You've worked in the world of politics for many years and have dealt with that, how many politicians do you know that could probably use a good exorcism?

B: [laughs] I guess we could talk about that at length.

D: Is there enough Holy water to scrub the evil out?

B: In Washington DC right now I think there are plenty of candidates there, I say tongue in cheek. Real quick I did learn a lot through this [his own haunted house experience] I'm certainly not looking to have any career in exorcism or ghostbuster, if it's my choice I don't have to deal with this again, I probably will as I have in the past but it would be my choice that this all would become a chapter in my life I'm certainty not looking for a career as an exorcist.

Satan doesn’t have to possess anyone these days - the libtards, homos and muslims are doing his work without having to be possessed.

To those that have never experienced evil in that way no proof is sufficient - to those that have no argument is sufficient to convince them otherwise.

The writer makes a great point about the name of Jesus being hated and inciting hatred in people - what’s up with that? There is actual spiritual power in the name of Jesus - one which the evil in these people cannot handle. People who want to see the devil in the face could try telling a tattooed, protesting lesbian that Jesus loves them - hope your insurance is paid up!

Possessions Are on the Rise

As well as repossessions.

FWIW, don’t place much credence in the report of somebody who claims they are responsible for the removal of a fallen angel possessing the soul of a human.

The power comes from our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus, who also created all things that were created.

Through faith in Him, God has given us many gifts and authority over those who spiritually oppose Him, but when involved in spiritual warfare, those persons who have honed their spiritual power and have been around for thousands of years studying humans and have the ability to survey our minds, and are adversaries to our Lord Christ Jesus, aren’t simple playthings.

Place the issue in God’s hands through faith in Christ and He will settle the affair.

PS, those who are possessed, will also become the home for even more possession if they fail to exhibit volition in faith with Christ after being exorcised of those malevolent adversaries.

I’d be careful of an exorcist who today claims to be RCC ordained. Given the state of the RCC today, those who remain so identified, now become targetable by the adversary in a litany of religious worldly scenarios to defeat their remaining in fellowship with God through faith in Christ.

Jesus tells us to go out and lay hands on the sick and cast out demons. You don’t have to be ordained or Catholic to do it.

since I've finished it I've had to completely reevaluate my stance on religion. I think it gives a deeper understanding of true evil and a very real God. This book didn't make me run out and find Jesus, but it did make me rethink religion

I can safely say that many would find themselves better off not reading this book if they are of a nervous disposition

As a librarian, it has been my job to review non-fiction books of all varieties and judge them for quality. I also have a bit of an interest in the topic personally. So, when I say this book is most recommended, and is in fact in my Top Ten Non-Fiction List,

This book was (is) pretty disturbing. I had to read it in very short segments. If you're wondering why this kind of activity occurs, the book answers that question. Ed Warren makes a good point..... There no atheists that experience this type of turmoil....
