one of Satan's greatest deceptions is making people think he doesn't exist. Praise the Living God!!

[jamesfrazier]

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities against Powers against the rulers of the darkness of this world against spiritual wickedness in high places

50 years ago I was delivered by a Baptist minister. Don't try to tell me they're not real. I was possessed by "legion". I have a rock hard faith because I suffered and my Lord literally Saved me!

[Bradley-pgamer]

My local priest was a hardened athiest convert to Catholicism. I pray for the world's conversion. Jesus Christ is Lord.

[BarzOnTheWindow]

Raised Catholic, AND being 1st American born member of my family from VERY superstitious origins, I always knew about the idea of being possessed, but never considered it, as an actual possibility.
That is, until I found myself physically WRESTLING with “something, ” that I could not see. Whatever it was, it had a rather intimate knowledge of what frightened me. Things, that I shared with no one. It visited me often enough, that I dreaded having to go to sleep.
It wasn’t until I called on Jesus, and begged for Michael, that it all abruptly ceased.

Think what you want. I KNOW what happened.

[jacquelinejacobson]

Actually one can be mentally ill and possessed at the same time. How perfect a picture for demons to hide behind.

[cindymay]

The priests won't do an exorcism until other physical or mental issues are ruled out. Its a very thorough process

[PatMcAnn]

its pretty sad that one guy's students are so numbed to evil that they have no reaction at all to the exorcist. its a scary movie - but maybe they should watch Nefarious.

It's not "rubbish" when animals start walking on their hind legs, looking you in the eye and smiling at you, holding eye contact, in the darkness. It's not "a load of trash" when your bed groans two feet to the left, with you on top of it. It's not "silly" when three dimensional humanoids made out of darkness itself stalk you in your own home, or when sleep paralysis suddenly affects everyone in your house, despite no one ever having it. It's always ridiculous to the people who so confidently, so arrogantly ridicule something they admit to knowing absolutely nothing about, and have zero experience with.

[deannapotes]

It is sad how we have fallen away from faith in the Lord and become so intent on disproving God ...

[vtopc]

It always surprises me how even many believers of various religions (including some Christians) don't believe in demons or the devil. People will say anything from "God is love" to "manifest positive energy", but when you mention demons and possessions they suddenly become sceptics. Feels like they'll believe their horoscope helped them win the lottery, but demonic influence is somehow out of the question.

[hacorn]

most people don't encounter possession, yet they are already under the influence of the devil in the day to day. listening to father martins only deepened my faith, precisely because it made me understand the ways of the devil and it explained so much of today's cultural malaise.

I suffered just under five months of very intense demonic oppression and/or partial possession in 2022 (as a Christian)! Also experienced angelic encounters and protections. Very intense spiritual warfare over the course of my entire life, but 2022 was the culmination.

I saw a dude leap from one side of my sons bedroom, from the floor. He was crouched in an odd position as he had the palms of his hands & soles of his feet flat to the floor, all at the same time, so he was like a frog when he began the jump. He flew up through the air, all the way across the room, to the opposite wall. He landed on the wall in the same position he began from, crouched down low, knees out, on all four of his extremities, which were flat on the wall! Then he began crawling across the wall sideways, five feet up the wall, one hand & foot at a time... Like a fly! Then his head turned sharply towards ME with an awkward, extremely unnatural speed & motion, sideways like it was going to spin off his neck! His head stopped right at the angle of his eyes meeting mine! It was at that moment that I knew for sure and for real that had been engaged in another war that was apparently going to be a doozy, again! It was at that moment I realized he had returned, bringing seven others much worse with him! If I thought Burbank California in 1989 was intense, I never could have imagined just how wide my mind was about to be blown open. Thank you Jesus! Thank you Mother!
CHRIST IS KING
JESUS CHRIST IS MY LORD AND SAVIOR
Mary wears combat boots!
Amen Alleuia!

Peace be with you!

I was an atheist until I witnessed a failed exorcism..
After that night I was more than aware of the supernatural.

Finally saved by Christ after a radical encounter with Him in 2016.
Jesus Christ is LORD 🙏🏼

[minfamilie]

If the Catholic Church used exorcism as a way to attract people then there would lots of exorcists, and getting an exorcism would be much easier. The truth is that there are very few authorized exorcists, and that the process for getting an exorcism is more complicated, it involves doctors, psychologists, witnesses, a whole investigation of every particular case. Atheists always try to create theories about things that are beyond human understanding.

[elizabethanthony]

I have witnessed a deliverance with the Healing mission in London, as prayer backup, I can assure you, demon possession and oppression are real.

[debbierichards]

The Screw Tape Letters said, Satan never pulled off anything as effective as he doesn't even exist.

[jamesallaire]

First of all exorcist want the person to have a psych evaluation and a medical evaluation. Secondly exorcism is really about prayer.
