15 And he (Jesus) said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils;
they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

Q: Are you actually practising exorcism? As in Roman Catholic exorcism?
While I did not grow up Catholic, I resonate very much with the Catholic teachings.
Many times I have gone to Carmelite and Benedictine monasteries for extended periods of prayer and meditation. It’s like stepping into a spiritual elevator to be around the sisters and brothers.
My religion is daily and direct, using the Bible as my guide map.
It’s not only Catholics that exorcise demons. When I was growing up, foreign missionaries (Baptist) often stayed with us in the parsonage when in the States on furlough. The stories they told of casting out demons were chilling.
The adults were discussing it, and I was supposed to be in bed asleepN but I listened. Scares the crap out of me.
