Deliverance ministry in the Northwest anywhere?

[spirithill]

Hi, I am new to this group and it is wonderful to find christians who believe in spiritual warfare. I was wondering if anyone knew of a priest in the Northwest (WA, ID, MT) who has a deliverance ministry. I have talked to Fr. Bill Halbing and Fr. John Hampsch but they are both quite far. As Fr. Bill says, you have to believe in Jesus and be desperate for deliverance to work and my family has both requirements. We thought about flying one of them out here if they would come. A fellow parishoner told me if a priest came in from another diocese to your home as a friend you still needed permission from the Bishop of the diocese. Is that true? I have listened to many of Mother Nadines tape sets and we have been under attack for many years but it has intensified in the last four. Even people who aren't believers think we have had so much bad luck. Also has anyone read "His Power is Among Us: the story of a healing ministry"? It is about Albert A Fredette. He had a healing and deliverance ministry. It is an older book dedicated to Our Lady of La Salette. Just thought I would ask. Christ's Peace to all.

Hi, welcome to the Group and CAF. I see you are pretty new. If you need to know some stuff about the site then I may be able to help.

Mother Nadine is awesome. "His Power is Among Us: the story of a healing ministry"? hmmm... nope. Is it good?

So you need a Deliverance Priest eh? I would help you but I still gotta go to Seminary. lol. (Most likely this January) I would probably talk about it a bit with your pastor or whoever would want to welcome the Priest. He could talk to the bishop easier and if it is a very bad case on the verge of possession then a Priest would definitely be assigned.

These people... Are they receiving the Sacraments frequently? Confession every week? Daily Mass? Are you? This may be necessary for victory. The Eucharist destroys every type of evil and if someone receives frequently in a state of Grace (With no mortal sin so they do not cause sacrilege) then no Evil will stand a chance. As long as they are contrite and have a Good relationship with God and the Celestial Court. Prayer and Fasting is important too. As long as they are not living lives of extreme sin and are humble and rely on the Lord there is almost no chance they will be possessed. Witches are powerless against Strong Catholics.

I'll wait for your response before I go further.

Hi,
Well, our parish priest is not exactly open to spiritual warfare or sacramentals, the divine mercy and so on. So I don't think he would be of any help and probably would just think we are "out there" somewhere. It is a case of more oppression and a family tree that needs cleansing. My son is in Fort Worth and we haven't seen or heard from him in a year. He is addicted to oxy. Don't know if we could do proxy prayers for him. Fr Hampsch said he has to want to be helped. So that is very hard. We keep praying for him and having Masses said for his deliverence from drugs and all that goes with that lifestyle. He has abandoned a 2 year old daughter here in WA. We live rural and we definitely need to make the effort to make more daily Masses. I totally see what you are saying about evil not having a chance. I just know we need some extra help to break the cycle in our family from everything that I have read and the speakers I have listened to. I am praying for the Holy Spirit to send us the help we need and guide us as to which path to take. Thank you for your help. May God richly bless you in your call to the priesthood.
