Spiritual Warfare

Visit the forum of this group.
Group created by Tonaw

Those of us that have been in spiritual warfare and have seen, heard, felt good or evil spirits. Those of us that acknowledge our spiritual gifts and use them in order to fulfill God's will. People who want to learn more about physical or viewable manifestations of spirits and other things feel free to join! :)

Pope John Paul II: "'Spiritual combat' is another element of life which needs to be taught anew and proposed once more to all Christians today. It is a secret and interior art, an invisible struggle in which (we) engage every day against the temptations, the evil suggestions that the demon tries to plant in (our) hearts."

Pope Benedict XVI: "Whatever the less discerning theologians may say, the devil, as far as Christian belief is concerned, is a puzzling but real, personal and not merely symbolical presence."
"The more one understands the holiness of God, the more one understands the opposite of what is holy, namely, the deceptive masks of the devil"

I had not remembered it until about a week ago when I stayed 9 days in the hosp with a friend as she had emergency surgery During this time a man came into the room and wanted to pray. We talked outside of the room about her and the negative energy coming from her. For some reason I asked him if he percieved anything from me . He told me I was posessed of a negative spirit or demon. He explained he was part of a deliverence ministery. As I thought we would leave the next day I agreed. He called a friend and we talked for hours. The result was they did not do the required prayers. They said I was not ready and quoted the passage that 7 spirits would replace the one expelled. I could explain further but that will come later. I hope there will be responces.

    Very enlightening video about angels and demons

    I just found this YouTube video about spiritual warfare and angels and demons.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vB9QtHtudY

    It 's about a brazilian man who had contact with high hierarchy of satanism, but he was released by Jesus. So he tell us about what he learned when he was there.

    He have wrote a trilogy, but only in portuguese.

    To deal with any sinful nature you must know the difference between sin and vice. Sin is the effect and vice is the cause. Lust is a vice that causes the sin called adultery. Sin may be forgiven but vice can only be purged through suffering.

    All vices are the same in terms of deadly potential. Craving for chocolates is as dangerous as Lust in its potential to drag a person to hell.

    Vice is an interior defilement of our faculties which hampers our freedom to will rightly (or to do as willed) despite our spirit's good counsel, because of a wavering mind and a sensual heart. If there is no defilement, then the mind decides based on spirit's counsel and the heart obediently does the will of the mind. Because of defilement, our corrupted heart with sensual cravings overrules the spirit to influence the wavering mind. Even when we will rightly what is actually done is the heart's whim.

    When we surrender through intellectual assent to God, we receive a divine power called Grace which gradually achieves freedom from vice. Suffering serves as an aid to the purgation process.

    That's a good point, I think the reason why my dreams are extremely tame now is because of a certain medication which helps control my sleep disorder also helps control nightmares.

Luckily I just called an Exorcist I know and am waiting for his call back. I feel so dirty. How do I get rid of this thing they call a "gift"
    If you are not possessed, but only oppressed and or obsessed by demons, you do not need an exorcism. Exorcisms are only preformed on the possessed.

    Any priest can pray a deliverence prayer over you so maybe you should ask another priest about that.

    Generally, discernment of the spirits is acknowledged as a charism given by the Holy Spirit

    Dear sisters and brothers, God love all of you, and a very blessed Sunday to you.

    I have to work today (and I have a dispensation from my priest to work on Sundays because we can't get out of it).

    Thing is, I have to work with "Jane," the bullying troublemaker and sale-stealer whom I've mentioned before. A little background: things finally got so very bad with her bullying and harassment that I privately went to our new manager upstairs, and told him everything. He was VERY understanding and quite upset. I later found out that she ***IS*** under strict observation and that they are being careful before taking any action against her, because she is very belligerent and willful and may sue them for libel, so they are documenting everything that everyone tells them.

    Anyway, she got wind of, or strongly suspects, that I reported her.
    So now (as she did the last time she was reported), she has begun to play the victim.
    The victim of ME, when I have not done ONE IOTA WRONG TO HER or ANYONE else.
    I don't even WANT her fired, I just want her to leave me the heck alone and let me do my own work, and she do hers, and just STOP harassing me (and everyone else), that's ALL.
    But, now that she has wind of the situation, she is being excessively sweet to those she thinks she can win over, and has started trying to turn it all around on me and make ME look like the bully and sale stealer. She is trying lots of underhanded stuff.
    I need DIVINE AND ANGELIC PROTECTION FROM THIS UNBELIEVABLY ARROGANT, BELLIGERENT, BULLYING, MANIPULATIVE WOMAN.
    I am BEGGING all of you to pray very powerful prayers for me, so that God PREVENTS HER , SUPERNATURALLY, from successfully turning this around on ME and making ME look like the one causing the problems. She is going to try EVERY move in the book.
    PLEASE pray for me.
    ALSO, I am AVOIDING HER LIKE THE PLAGUE to avoid confrontations with her,
    but she ALWAYS manages to maneuver herself into my area and my work situation to start trouble, etc. PLEASE PRAY FOR ME that God will send holy angels to invisibly speak to her mind and if necessary scare the living daylights out of her so that she will NOT come around me and harass me ANY MORE, EVER AGAIN, NOT ONCE.
    You see, for months, I was (as was typical of me all my life) a PUSHOVER, who let bullying and her sale stealing "pass," as a form of penance. The penance I deserved, but being a pushover is never the right thing to do with a bully and malicious manipulator, because you become his/her permanent target. I finally decided to STOP being a pushover, and now she is freaked out, very upset by it, and is hell-bent on not accepting this change in the situation. She had previously been able to bully everyone in the department like her own private Fiefdom, with no real resistance, and finally someone has decided not to take it anymore. She can't STAND that, because her Almighty Reign has now been seriously challenged.
    Please don't anyone lecture me about "forgiving" her.
    I agree with the need to do that.
    I ***do*** forgive her.
    I wish her the best, and do not want her fired,
    and I have masses said for her and pray for her soul, even chaplets of the holy wounds for her. But forgiveness and CONTINUAL KNUCKLING UNDER (to my GREAT financial loss and wrecked nerves) are two TOTALLY DIFFERENT things.
    She needs to repent. I need protection from her and her machinations.
    Please pray for me, and most sincere thanks in advance to all of you who do.
    I want a peaceful workday today, with the regular, normal stresses, and none
    of this ridiculous, diabolically-inspired HIGH DRAMA.
    God bless you,
    Jaypeeto4

    Even blessings from a priest, even though you can not see them will stay with your and what ever is blessed. My priest say me drive up to the church in my new car back in 2008, he asked if he could bless my car, of I said yes of course. He said many people don't realize if while the car was being made someone swore on it, the car can have problems. People who say they had a car that was a lemon, it probably had a worker swear a curse on it. So he blessed it for me. A month or so later my 20 year old son did an oil change on it and did not tighten the oil cap on top. After traveling 150 miles I was smelling oil under the hood. When my husband checked it, the engine was ok, and it took 3 1/2 qts of oil and the engine only holds 4. I had drivin many miles with only a tiny bit of oil, but he blessing on that car saved it.

    I was under a huge amount of persecution when I became Catholic, mostly from my husband and sons, but after my priest blessed my house, the persecution stopped.

    Praise the Lord, our God reigns.

    hello everyone,hi beth and friends,warrior81 wat you say aabout unholy items in a home reminds me of a statue of an indian deity my mothers friend once gave her.it was carved out of ivory and even though we never venerated it we kept it in a place of prominence because of its beauty.

    one day a family friend,a priest came visiting and noticed it.he now explained the dangers of keeping such items in the house and we promptly disposed of it. i must confess my sister who is a strong pentecostal christian had warned us years earlier but we brushed it off as gibberish.i shudder to think of what we probably exposed our selves to all the while that 'thing' was on the mantle.now all is well and i"m glad it's gone.i plead the Blood of Jesus upoun every door that was once opened to such forces and ask for cleansing in Jesus name i pray.Amen.
