Demonic Foes: My Twenty-Five Years as a Psychiatrist Investigating Possessions, Diabolic Attacks, and the Paranormal (October 6, 2020 release )
Amazon Books ^ | October 6, 2020 | Richard Gallagher M.D

Posted on 10/04/2020 12:03:57 AM PDT by tired&retired

The world’s leading psychiatric authority on demonic possession delves into the hidden world of exorcisms and his own transformation from cynic to believer over the course of his twenty-five-year career.

Successful New York psychiatrist Richard Gallagher was skeptical yet intrigued when a hard-nosed, no-nonsense Catholic priest asked him to examine a woman for a possible exorcism. Meeting her, Gallagher was astonished. The woman’s behavior defied logic. In an instant, she could pinpoint a person’s secret weaknesses. She knew how individuals she’d never known had died, including Gallagher’s own mother, who passed away after a lengthy battle with ovarian cancer. She spoke fluently in multiple languages, including Latin—but only when she was in a trance.

This was not psychosis, Gallagher concluded. It was, in his scientific estimation, what could only be describe as paranormal ability. The woman wasn’t mentally disturbed—she was possessed. This remarkable case was the first of many that Gallagher would encounter

I have had Bible versus come out of my mouth that I had never heard of nor read.

The first was 1John 4:1 which confronted an imitator evil spirit.

The spirit replied to the question “I know Jesus.”

To which the words from my mouth said loudly, “That was not the question! Do you believe that Jesus was born of the flesh?”

The spirit could not answer that question and his blue eyes turned to black and then red as his true nature came was revealed.

” . . .and you and I must learn how to fight him, how to
put his legions to flight, how to destroy
the works of the devil. That is our
commission from Jesus Christ. It is not
an optional thing. Now if you would like
to, you may volunteer for a special Corps
of workers who are to do this dirty work.
I’ve got news for you. Everybody is to be
engaged in the dirty work of attacking
the enemy and destroying him! . . .” . .

“Is that Route 15, Williamsport in Pennsylvania?”

Yes. Actually South Williamsport, across the Susquehanna River from Williamsport.

It is not uncommon to get stung, or to have these things try to attach when my guard is down. Actually it is when I forget to stay focused on God.

I was headed to see Scott Peck in CT in 2005 to help him out as he got stung, but he died before I could make it.

I did not volunteer. I did not choose this work. It chose me. (In spite of me)

I do not go out looking for this work. It just happens.

We are in special times now where the weeds are becoming more active.

The difference between the Children of God and the children of Satan are becoming more and more evident.

Time to take this very seriously.

“I trust you to be telling the truth”

Sorry to say, yes. My life has been more bizarre than I should ever make up.

My wife is a psychiatrist on the faculty of a major medical school for over 30 years. She has observed many events, but has been silent as it is carreer destroying.

I've never observed a person whom I would believed to be a person born anew in the Spirit is one who ever manifested any thing like an indwelling evil spirit.

I do not believe that a person who has totally and irreversibly trusted in Jesus as his/her Lord and Messiah, has become His servant and solely owned possession, can be a host of any spirit other than the Holy Ghost, Who comes to dwell in a human the moment that he/she is saved, sanctified, and justified, having received the gift of everlasting life.

I believe that a human can be possessed, as the scriptures show, but it seems clear that no truly saved person of this dispensation can ever be one of them.

I remember seeing the sign for that. It’s been years since I’ve been that way. I used to go to Gettysburg several times a year. I was into the Civil War for a long time. Gettysburg and Antietam were two of my favorite battlefields. The Democrats passed a bill in July that contains provisions to remove all the Confederate monuments, plaques, statues, etc., from the battlefields. The Senate hasn’t done anything with it, so hopefully it will die, along with the Democrats on November 3rd.

That's what they charge you if you don't have a mask on.

Hm. That is apparently what happened to Pentecostal Bible teacher Derek Prince (1963, Seattle), Southern Baptist pastor Frank Hammond (1966/7, Dallas), Southern Baptist pastor Win Worley (Chicago, 1970), and Baptist pastor Steve Bell (Dallas area, 1980s).

These men all knew each other and occasionally worked together. All wrote upon the ministry of casting out of evil spirits. Some of the titles are: “Diary of an Exorcist”, “Pigs in the Parlour” and “They Shall Expel Demons”.

Steve Bell (Micah Stephen Bell) is still actively ministering and providing deliverance at Key Ministries, Euless, TX (Dallas)

Recommended.

Pastor Worley had over 40 hours of psychology, and Pastor Bell used to run a psychiatric facility for disturbed adolescents. Might be worth comparing notes w Pastor Bell. (817) 283-1700

I took our Boy Scout Troop to the Gettysburg Battlefield many years ago. We camped out on the Battlefield and had a parent, an attorney history buff who was a certified Battlefield Guide lead us on our daily hikes with full detailed history of the events.

It was very interesting for me as there were many stuck wounded souls.
