Demons and Angels - A Conversation with an Exorcist | The Lila Rose Podcast E48

[@Mrs.Escobedo]

I really appreciate his explanations of fatherhood in the Catholic tradition. I'm learning I've been fed so much misinformation about the Catholic church. I'm non-denominational christian, but find myself drawn more and more to the Catholic church the more I learn The Word. This conversation furthers that. ❤

[@Dienekes678]

That's awesome, praise God! I recommend maybe listening to Fr.Chris Alars video "Catholicism - the Fullness of Faith" if you want to learn more. God bless you!

[@twocyclediesel1280]

So glad to hear that. Fr Ripperger at “Sensous Fidelum” has a lot of good stuff, some exorcism but also many other topics on the faith.

[@juliahambright7363]

Hi Mrs. Escobedo, I recently became Catholic from Protestant (non-denominational as well) and a book that really helped me with the facts is Protestants Dilemma by Devin Rose

[@DrStrange1000]

Thank you for opening your heart to this. I have SO many non denominational Christian friends who simply refuse to open their heart to feelings outside of what they have been taught even when they know in their heart of hearts they are incorrect. God bless you!! 🙏🏼

My late sister and brother played obsessively with a ouija board as children back in 1964. My brother became possessed and taken away to a mental hospital. My sister was plagued throughout her life with demonic house infestations.. I personally witnessed flying objects in her house. Even Ed and Lorraine Warren came. A full Catholic house exorcism was done in 1995 - things died down dramatically, but it never left. One day in 2003 I visited her. I was talking with her and her husband at the kitchen table when I felt a need to pray for them. I excused myself from the table, saying I was tired and was going to lay down on the couch for a nap. No one knew of my intention to pray for them. I prayed silently and mentally. As soon as I started the Our Father, a large wall hanging picture flew off the wall and crash landed at the opposite corner of the room. The crash was loud. My sister thought I had fallen down the stairs. This is proof positive of a demonic presence. It reacts negatively to prayer as well as holy water and sacramentaks. I ignored the parlor trick and finished my prayers.

[@etcwhatever]

God bless. You did very well, to keep praying and not being impressed by the demons. Ive been through and seen many things also. I only got baptized at 22. I never touched ouija it freaked me out. I already saw deceased people either way. Now 12 years after Baptism i can tell you i have a lot less weird occurences and im being helped with liberation prayers. I dwelt on some new age and divination practices before and after Baptism so i still suffer consequences...i also have a serious auto immune disease but i offer everything up for the conversion of sinners and the souls in purgatory. Been praying for 3 years for my parents conversion...finally my mom wants to get baptized, my dad also wants to confess and both want to get married in the Church. May God be praised forever. I am also thankful to the Virgin Mary because i asked for it so many times in the Rosary

In my country we do not have an Ouija Board, we used to write the letters and numbers in small piece of papers, lay them in a circle, put a paper written Yes and another with No right in the center with a glass cup (bottom up) inside the circle. Everybody would pray together out loud The Our Father and The Hail Mary. Then, everybody would slighty place their index finger on the top of the cup. We would keep asking "Is there anyone there?" Of course, there are always jokes of people pushing or pulling the cup, lol. This is played mostly by teenagers. Sometimes we would do it for hours and nothing really happened, sometimes when the cup moved an inch and everybody knew that no one really did it on purpose, everyone would scream and run, lmao. So, like many teenagers, my brother, 2 cousins and I decided to play at midnight just with candles lit, lol, back in 1998. For a couple of hours a lot of jokes and nothing happened until it did. It was already after 2am and we were all tired and sleepy and tired of praying all the time and asking if there was anyone there. We gave it another try and all of us felt the cup move a tiny tiny bit as if someone had put too much pressure on it. But we all looked at each other and said "not me." I started to shake, lol. Then we asked again and this time the cup went straight to the YES paper very fast. We all screamed and my brother started crying. All of us wanted to remove the finger from the cup but people say you can't or else. We were scared sh*t. We asked who are you and it circled around picking the letters YOU. We didn't want to play anymore and we started praying out loud and the cup started to circle very, very fast. Even me, who was 17 at the time, started to cry. After a couple of minutes, the more we prayed it the more it started to slow down and, eventually, went back to the middle of the circle and stopped. We asked the question 3x, no movement at all, so we removed our fingers and ran to the room and we slept all together, lol. The next morning, mom woke us up shouting at us, asking what the hell did we do last night. We explained and she was furious, she is Catholic. We said it was okay because we prayed and it went away. She said "let's check" and she forced all of us to do it all again but this time the cup moved right after the first time we asked if there was anyone there. We looked frightened at my mom. She called us stupid teenagers and that it has stayed in the house. Out of nowhere it spelled: "CORRECT NOT GOING AWAY EVER". We all started to cry and mom told us that everything would be okay. She got the bible and started praying a lot of different prayers. The cup went crazy going round and round in circles very very fast nonstop and us along with it since we could not take our fingers from it. It lasted for about 10min or so until it started to slow down and stopped. Mom kept asking if there was anyone there and that it should not lie in face of the holy bible. A few minutes with no movement she said it was okay to remove our fingers from the cup which we did as fast as we could and to NEVER do this again, EVER. But since it "worked" I did it many times again with some friends but not at my place, of course. I know that maybe 5 years later one of those friends of mine %¨$# himself, he was depressed, they said. Another gave into heavy dr*gs and has been in and out of rehabilitation centers. He claims to see ghosts and stuff (maybe because of the things he takes? who knows...) And I.... I developed socialphobia and GAD (generalizzed anxiety disorder.) I am 42 years old now and still in treatment but I think it's just who I am. The others are "normal."

I am no catholic, only Bible. Jesus: John 14: 21 He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will disclose Myself to him.” 22 Judas (not Iscariot) *said to Him, “Lord, what then has happened that You are going to disclose Yourself to us and not to the world?” 23 Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him. 24 He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent Me. John 7: 37 Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink. 38 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, ‘From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.’” 39 But this He spoke of the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. John 7: 15 The Jews then were astonished, saying, “How has this man become learned, having never been educated?” 16 So Jesus answered them and said, “My teaching is not Mine, but His who sent Me. 17 If anyone is willing to do His will, he will know of the teaching, whether it is of God or whether I speak from Myself. 18 He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who is seeking the glory of the One who sent Him, He is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him. 19 “Did not Moses give you the Law, and yet none of you carries out the Law? Why do you seek to kill Me?” 20 The crowd answered, “You have a demon! Who seeks to kill You?”

Dont forget there is such a thing as over praying when it causes you to miss out on important things in your life or the life of family members. The enemy can be sneaky in that way and cause family tentions. My friend was fixated on praying the rosary so much that he missed his family priorities and his wife almost divorced him. He was eventually able to catch on to what was happening to his family. Ask yourself what would Jesus do in my position.. Jesus wanted us to be there for eachother and you missing out on someones life is harmful to them sometimes.

@@t.d6379 - Roman Catholicism makes salvation a long, complicated process with no assurance of eternal life and forgiveness of all sin. Baptism, Mass, Confession, prayers to Mary and the Saints, good works, and purgatory are all added to faith in Christ. By contrast, the Bible teaches salvation by faith in Jesus Christ alone. Bible salvation is God's free gift to any sinner who believes that Christ died for their sins and rose again for their defense. Bible salvation gives immediate assurance of eternal life. No church ever saved anyone, but Christ can and will save everyone who will come and trust Him as their Saviour. Membership or faith in a church does not secure salvation for anyone, but trust Christ and Him alone and you will be saved for all eternity!

I was an atheist and was saved when I called out to God when I was under a severe demonic attack. For the first time ever, I was plucked right out of that dimension and I awoke. I became a believer that night, especially after I opened my (boyfriend at the time, husband now) boyfriends Bible to a random page and the first thing that I read was "You cannot have two masters". I know that the passage was referencing money vs the Lord. However, the Bible is the Living Word, it speaks to us to deliver a message that we need. I read it in that moment and I knew that God was trying to tell me "Stop fence sitting. Choose. Me or the Devil." And I chose God. I've also met Archangel Michael when I was under the worst attack of my life. It was an amazing experience, though I hope to ever experience it again.

In 2015 when I attended the Afropunk festival in Brooklyn NYC was the first time i was in the presence of masses of humans who were under the influence of demons....I'm not Christian or Catholic but when I went to that "festival" which i was spsd to be there with my friends for about 5 hours or so, cuz it was an all day event, I only lasted 30 minutes, I went there with a cute dress and flowers in my hair, I am a pretty girl and my femininity was emohasized with my outfit, the people at afropunk gave me the nastiest looks, cuz everyone there was dressed atrociously like "punks" to purposely desecrate their physical appearance, in additon to this the majority of people there were of the LGBT "community", when i was there amongst all these people i immediately felt DRAINED, really tired, felt a sense of depression come over me, and lost my appetite, almost like a faint nausea ....and i just knew i didnt want to be there, actually my thoughts were " i got to get out of here" it really felt like a hell realm where demons were congregating, i ordered an uber told my "friends" bye and once i was far away from that place i started feeling much much better and back to normal, i no longer follow mainstream culture since that day, because all this new "left wing" "progreesive" culture is exactly what he says it is....lead by DEMONS, go to a Pride parade or an afro punk festival and see for your self, it's awful.

So glad You shared this story because I had a VERY similar experience happened to me in 2013. I went to a gay club to accompany my friend and to just have fun. I started feeling nauseous and my stomach started to hurt. Right away I just instinctively knew that this place was spiritually corrupt and needed to get out. I needed to go outside for some air. Funny thing is back in 2008 I went to another Gay club to accompany some gay friends and I was fine and didn't have the same reaction as the second time. I just had fun. The only difference I can think of is I was going more to church and learning my faith during the second time I went to the club. I believe the Holy spirit and your spiritual life makes you feel and see things that you might be otherwise blinded by due to wordly things and energies. And not to be mean but anytime I'm around someone whose gay, the energy feels dirty. Even though I mind my business and its not up to me to judge, I have this off feeling about them.

[@JuliaShalomJordan]

At age 19, I played with the Ouija board…I was fascinated by it…and ended up getting possessed. My life turned very dark; my family put me in a mental institution…lost my mind, my job, my hope to live…but in God’s grace, this darkness caused me to search for the light. The evil actually led me to a saving relationship with God through Jesus.

[@Dienekes678]

I've had a similar path Julia, only in my case it was addiction. I fully believe addiction is demonic influence as well as physical. Either way I lost a lot too. But now I have God in my life and I've never been happier! God bless you.

I started watching episodes of "The Haunting" throughout the day, 24*7 for entertainment purpose only but this brought them in my life and home. I started having terrible dreams and ended my happy family days. My dad met with a horrible accident with a brain injury,was on life support for 6 months and my mom had severe psychotic disorder. Both were in the hospital. My life changed within 10 days and turned into hell. Then I realised what I did was not correct and started with my prayer life again; reciting Divine Mercy chaplets, prayer to St. Faustina for healing etc. Now I'm out of all such things, mom is perfectly fine but dad's still in hospital for the past 3 years. Praying for his recovery every single day.

[@tammyblount3910]

What this man is saying is Very True. No one Ever thinks this will happen to them. And a little over 5 yrs. ago I was doing things I should not have been doing. I was trying to understand spiritual activity and I was living in a house with my dearest friends of several years. He warned me the house had activity happening. I came to realize that it was just as extreme as he had told me. And by 4 I began Seeing spirits but had no idea what they were because a Child thinks of monsters. Later in my teens I realized what was happening but didn’t know why or how. So living in this house which used to be his aunt’s property as a halfway house where many overdosed. I foolishly began doing recordings and picking up activity. I was getting attacked a lot after awhile and would wake up not being able to scream or move. Feeling terrified as what was on me was putting me to sleep. Then one morning at around 4-4:30am I went through an experience where a demon Did enter through me. It could’ve been a partial possession because I remember all of it. My best friend was awakened by a voice telling him to go to me now. He studied demonology, Christianity, and grew up Catholic just as I. He came into my room and called my name. I lifted my body very slowly without using hand or arm as I was laying on my side. My eyes appeared like that of a serpent and were green on the outer edges. I only heard my name because I lost my hearing but felt So Much Hatred and was somehow able to question as to Why I felt a strong desire to want to lunge onto my dearest friend and kill him. I could see him speaking but could not hear. This only lasted around 5 minutes as he went and grabbed his Holy Bible. Apparently he described my eyebrows being raised almost to my forehead and curled. He rubbed his palm onto the Bible and then told the demon he has the authority of Christ working through him and then he called upon the Arch Angels. Along with a couple other demands. I’m just Grateful this only lasted around 5 minutes. I’m actually writing a book on the experience because This brought me Back to God! It’s like this man says, how God Permits this. And it’s for HIS Higher Purpose. I am Not at All afraid of these demons. The only thing I Fear is the Wrath of God. I Never Thought this would actually happen to me. And This Is a Spiritual War! This horrible experience, along with a Divine Experience Brought me to Praying Each Morning very early. I know now that Everything happens for a Higher Purpose. Because I Now am Devoted to the Unconditional Love of The Lord. And I am going through some health issues. After going through This, I ask Jessica to be with me through some of the things I’m currently experiencing in my health. Because I Know HE Hears Us All. I’m Not at All angry I went through that experience. Because my Salvation Depended on it. I have Always Loved Jesus since I was a little Child. And I Love HIM Far More than Ever. I encourage Anyone who is suffering through Anything to turn their attention and Love to Christ. Prayer is the Most Powerful Weapon Against evil. It proved to be in my friend of several years, whom I Thank God was given the authority to Rid that filthy thing from me. Because I remember it, I don’t think it had a chance to Fully possess me. I Pray Each Morning for Children who are sex trafficked, abused, and for people under the influence of Several things. I choose not to Judge, but to Pray. And hopefully someone who is suffering from something similar, will see this and Turn to God. I give No attention to these demons or spirits. I’m a Greater person Because of God. God Bless You All. And Know HIS Love Is Real. ❤️🙏❤️

I've been celibate for 9 years. I'm 59 years old. I was married and I have 2 adult children. My ex-husband could never control himself. He left me for another woman but had extramarital affairs before that. If you (and I too) are blessed by Christ to enter into Heaven, that human act will be the last thing on your mind. I'll pray for you. 🙏

[@Knsoms]

Thank you@@marier.245. I was actually referring to the Catholic Church's belief that there's no marriage in heaven. It saddens me to think that spouses will not have the same beautiful relationship they have on earth as in heaven. (In understand this is not all spouses, as not all relationships are good ones) I have difficulty imagining how heaven will be any better than what I already have here (I know it sounds crazy, but I struggle with spiritual things, I am very much 'of this world.') Hope this makes sense, I should have been more specific. Also, I will pray for you as well, I cannot imagine the heartbreak you must have gone through. We men need to learn to control our desires and remain faithful to our significant other. I send my condolences, for whatever that's worth. You'll be in my prayers.

[@marier.245]

@@Knsoms From what I understand (I'm a convert to the Catholic Church), faithful couples will still have the same wonderful relationship in Heaven as they did on Earth, but not the sexual part. Faithful Catholic couples worship The Holy Trinity on Earth, the same is done in Heaven. Heaven is the worship and adoration of God. Faithful Catholic couples do that now, there is just no need to procreate so there's no need for sexual relations. There are many many Catholic couples (and otherwise) who are celibate during the end part of their marriage either because of health reasons or by choice. A couple who worships God on Earth can and will worship God in Heaven. There are no stresses in Heaven, there is no sin or fallen human emotions. Therefore the couples who worship God on Earth will worship God in Heaven only with more joy, more happiness and more love than ever before on Earth.

​@@Knsomsremember what the Lord says "you'll be like angels" (meaning you'll have a more intimate relationship together with the Lord, NOT SEXUALY because angels has not sex but MORE INTIMATE ) you'll find out there too your ancestors and it'll be like you have always knew them. I hope this helps you 🙏

[@rosiegirl2485]

​@@Knsoms I love how Mother Angelica spoke of heaven. She compared it to a baby in the womb. If you were to give that baby the choice to stay all warm and snuggly in its mothers womb...or to come out and see the beautiful sunshine..and feel a beautiful breeze..or to taste some yummy ice cream..or to play with a fun little puppy... The list goes on... Still, that little baby will choose its mother's womb...that's is warm, safe, and familiar. The same applies with us. We don't know the beautiful wonders that we are promised in heaven... So we choose to stay where we are safe..and where we are familiar with our surroundings. Trust in Jesus... Heaven is more glorious then we are able to imagine! I believe it was St. Paul who said something similar..(sorry, I can't remember the exact quote from the Bible) I hope this helps.

At 28:00 talking about suicide as a Demonic end-game... is very interesting... and true. I am a law enforcement chaplain (not clergy like the military, more like a layperson-peer-support side- gig as a law enforcement officer myself). I am tasked with instructing a suicide prevention course for my guys because our agency has had quite a few suicides recently. I am also a celibate traditional catholic woman (and older-- at 45) whom Our Lord has not chosen for the married life, but has chosen me for this unique "ministry" role (I believe I'm probably the only Catholic woman serving as both an active law enforcement officer and chaplain in the nation -- kinda weird haha). I feel very privileged and also on alert because even though the course material is secular in nature, the subject matter is very spiritual, as Fr. Ambrose says. I tread lightly and trust that Our Lord is guiding me and protecting me as I am active on the front lines of this spiritual war.... I humbly ask for prayers to keep me and my partners protected...and that somehow we can turn this bus around and get folks back to Christ. Thank you 🙏

Thank you, Lila, for featuring Fr. Ambrose Criste on your podcast. There seems to be renewed interest in exorcism and the brave clerics who perform them. I am wondering why? Even in secular podcasts, like the PBD podcast and Jedediah Bila LIVE are interviewing exorcists like Fr. Vincent Lampert. Movies, like The Pope's Exorcist, starring Russell Crowe was released just a few months ago, about a real life exorcist, and a sequel to the 1973 The Exorcist film, called Exorcist :Believer, is coming out soon. Have things gotten so bad in our culture than even secular areas, which used to mock this sort of content, are now taking it seriously?

I believe the exorcist is the phophet of this generation. The exorcist are shattering the myth the devil does not exist. If there is evil - then people have to acknowledge there is a Good. The world is searching for the supernatural through psychics, witchcraft , mediums, crystals.... The Church is failing to feed their sheep. The exorcists are rising to be the Shepard of Truth. The devil exists, God is real. The Catholic church's scamental life us the road to holiness.

Im currently Protestant but I wasnt raised in the church and I have been being sanctified by our Lord in regards to denominational topics. I appreciate this priest's view on non Catholic brothers and sisters, and I rarely hear Protestants speak about Catholics that way. Just an observation. Also, in regards to angels and intercessory prayer via saints, Mary, and so on ... which is something I myself wrestle with and pray for discernment about... yes, we can talk to Jesus and our Father and the Spirit directly but why do we ask ONE ANOTHER for prayer? We still ask each other to intercede for us, and if we believe in eternal life, then we know the church fathers are alive with Christ in heaven right now. Thanks for helping me unlock fhatt.

[@INeedJesus55]

I'm not Catholic and don't adhere to any denomination but this guy is speaking the truth. When I was in the fifth grade at my graduation, my dad took a picture of me and my sister at school and Jesus was in the picture with me and my sister with His arms around us. Most people would have looked at that miracle with extreme gratitude but I was angry and bitter about it because of my childhood and the suffering I went through and saw in this world which I blamed God for. I didn't see it as a blessing, I saw it as God mocking me. Years later after getting involved in many occult things and seeking secret knowledge I came face to face with a demon known as Hat Man during an out of body experience and the demon attacked me. I could do nothing. Jesus spoke to me and said "Its feeding off of your fear." and so I became angry instead of afraid and wanted to fight back. I prayed and said "Lord Jesus please give me the strength to fight this thing!" and then I screamed with my spirit "IN THE NAME OF JESUS GET OFF OF ME!" and that demon was infinitely more terrified me of simply saying Jesus' name than I was of it and the demon ran away. Years later I was still not convinced that Jesus Christ was exactly who He said He is though I knew He was real and under demonic influence from hypnotic programing, I came to the conclusion that Jesus was crucified because of sin rather than for our sins to be forgiven and I spoke those words with my mouth. The result was three days of non stop demonic torture that was beyond description. All I heard in my head for three days was multiple demonic voices saying over and over "YOU'RE GARBAGE! GOD DOESN'T LOVE YOU! YOU'RE GOING TO HELL! YOU MESSED UP FOR THE LAST TIME! YOU'RE WORTHLESS TRASH! NO ONE LOVES YOU!" Jesus loves me so much that though it was by far the worst experience of my already hard life, though I was taken to the very edge of sanity and left hanging on by a thread, God allowed it because He wanted me to know the consequences of rejecting His love. On the third day of being tortured by demons non stop, without sleep any sleep God allowed me to pass out for a few hours. After a few hours of sleep God spoke to me out loud and called me out of my sleep. He called me by name and told me to wake up. I looked around my room for the voice because while the demonic voices were coming from inside my head, God's voice was clearly outside of my head but I found no one. I prayed to Him and told Him that if He would save me I would tell people about Him for the rest of my life and the demonic voices went about 90% away. I called my dad who was a Christian and told him what was going on and he wanted to take me to see his pastor, believe it or not I was still stubborn as a brain dead ox and wanted to go to the emergency room instead. We went to the emergency room and for the first time in my life I was turned away and I didn't even know it was possible to be turned away from an emergency room. I ended up going to see my dads pastor and he explained things to me and educated me on who Jesus truly is and I believed and asked Jesus to forgive me and be my Lord and Savior. The only command the Lord spoke to me that day was "Love others as I have loved you." and let me tell you I saw how greatly the Lord had loved me because I knew my great many sins and I knew how stubborn and prideful I was. To this day I can say with absolute sincerity that I have witnessed many miracles, heard the audible voice of God multiple times, wrestled with God for decades, I believe I have encountered angels and and I am certain I have encountered demons, I have been recruited by the devil, sought after and obtained secrets and mysteries and I tell you the absolute truth that I would rather be a 24/7 port-a-poty cleaner in Heaven in the Lords presence than the king of hell. I studied all kinds of religions, occult practices, magic and was propositioned to becoming something awful by exchanging love for power but I refused as love was what I wanted more than anything. God is love and Jesus Christ is His wonderful Son who is by an immeasurable distance the greatest friend anyone could ever dream of. I have a ton of experience in things most people cannot even imagine, good and evil and as sure as the Lord lives I wouldn't trade a miniscule, microscopic millimeter of God's love for sole rulership over the entire universe. I know everyone has their own path to walk and no one else was able to convince me who the Lord was and is except Himself and I believe that's how He likes it. Everything I've told you is true, if you don't know the Lord and my sharing my story means anything to you at all, I ask please give Jesus a chance. I promise you that you will never regret it. Take all your questions, complaints and whatever else you got and talk to Him about it from your heart. He knows, understands, cares and loves even when we dont.

The one thing I disagree with him though so far (45 minutes in) is that people who have been saved, born again and have received the Holy Spirit do not need any man's permission to cast out demons. I know this is true by my own life experience and by the Lord's own words. "These miraculous signs will accompany those who believe: They will cast out demons in my name, and they will speak in new languages." Mark 16:17 "17The seventy-two returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!” 18And he said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 19Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you. 20Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven." Luke 10:17-20 When you are born again you become a priest to Almighty God. "14Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. 16Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need." Hebrews 4:14-16 In contrast: "My people are being destroyed because they don’t know me. Since you priests refuse to know me, I refuse to recognize you as my priests. Since you have forgotten the laws of your God, I will forget to bless your children." Hosea 4:6

[@INeedJesus55]

This was a wonderful conversation and though I have my disagreements with the Roman Catholic church as an organization, I know many of the Lord's people call themselves Catholic as well as other names but I love all my brothers and sisters in Christ. Just two months ago I was a member at a Pentecostal Church where the Holy Spirit moved as free as the wind and now I'm going to a Baptist Church where the pastor said just last night at Bible study that God doesn't (but could if He wanted to) speak out loud to people. The pastor made some jokes about people who claim to hear God's voice (not knowing my experience) and wants to know my testimony before he finalizes my membership at the church and I'm not sure how he's gonna react to it so that should be interesting. I think God is bringing His children together to know and worship Him in spirit and truth and so I believe people will start to leave the behind the rigid buildings and organizational structure of mans traditions and come more and more into the fullness of the Kingdom of God as it will be needed for what is coming. I must say that I believe we're not only in the last days but in the last hours of the last days and the great falling away/apostasy is fast approaching. Great conversation and God bless you both in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ 🙏

Lila can you do a Podcast to help people understand the Catholic Church? My dad was a non practicing Catholic but my mum was an atheist. I have been drawn to Jesus all my life but never found any enduring faith or victory. Recently, before I found your channel I had the idea to go to a Catholic Church purely because I remember my granny going to mass every day (in Ireland) and I feel I need God so much going to church once a week is not enough and I’m also uncomfortable with aspects of praise and healing and speaking in tongues in church. When I was a teenager I used to call into a Catholic Church on the way home from school as I felt peaceful there.

[@nwachukwunjide3107]

Keep praying and going to mass and the Lord Jesus will give you the direction you need ,I trust him completely

[@aggyness]

Speaking in "tongues" isn't a thing Catholics do. Don't worry. Pray for discernment and keep coming to Mass!

[@lisamurphy3291]

Sweetheart, most Catholic Churches offer Mass every day, so if going to Mass once a week doesn't feel like enough, you can go daily. Yes, it is meant to be lived fully, every day, as a way of life, and not just a once-a-week practice, so it makes sense that you feel that "you need God so much that going to Church once a week is not enough"--it isn't, if you are living it right! :) God is calling you, clearly. You can sit in the back of the Church, quietly, and just observe in peace, if you would like to. God is pure love. Don't be afraid. If you have any Catholic friends, maybe you could ask them if you can go with them? In the church, look for the tabernacle. (It is often shaped like a box. There is a red candle lit next to it, called the sanctuary lamp.) Sit quietly and pray, close to the tabernacle, knowing you are in the presence of God, who loves you. You can go to the USCCB website and open the online reference called the "Catechism of the Catholic Church." That will tell you a lot about the Catholic Church. God bless you, my dear. Listen to His call. Follow your heart there. You will never regret it. Pray to your Granny and ask her to help you. ❤ I know mine helped me. I became a Catholic almost 40 years ago and I've never looked back!

We had a priest from St. Michael’s Abbey fill in for our Parish’s TLM. That week (prior to Sunday) I had met a coworker who was into astrology and she hugged me for a prolonged time and I just joked around to brush off the weird encounter but then on felt this weird oppression. That Sunday I walked by the priest and went on a ways but decided to go back and ask him to pray for me. So I waited to speak with him and told him I’ve been visiting this parish a lot but I’m not Catholic yet but I do listen to a lot of Pints with Aquinas lol he laughed and I explained my situation and he immediately knew what to pray and I just remember him saying intercession of Mary and I felt this thing snap or break off me. It was really shocking and I was happy. His name is Fr. Hermon and he’s badass and I’m so thankful to him and God. I went to my car and first thing that came to mind was God is with the priests. RCIA classes start in semptember for me. There’s other things I could add but this is fine for now. God bless you guys

This is a great interview and so much truth. I am a hypnotherapist and a Christian and will say that I was led to help this way . I believe that I am doing Gods work. I understand that this could be a window for demons but it also is certainly not. What I do is deep relaxation and guided meditation. Stage hypnosis is completely different - in my practice, you are always in control and I could not make anyone goes against their values. I just wish to make this point in defense of hypnotherapy. I believe that alcohol and weed are great ways for demons to get in and I will say that sleeping hypno sessions on you tube, etc have potential to be dark so do not do those , as well as others listed by him. However, what I do I believe is good but I am going to continue to pray before and add some biblical verses during sessions.

I am no catholic, only Bible. Jesus: John 14: 21 He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will disclose Myself to him.” 22 Judas (not Iscariot) *said to Him, “Lord, what then has happened that You are going to disclose Yourself to us and not to the world?” 23 Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him. 24 He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent Me. John 7: 37 Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink. 38 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, ‘From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.’” 39 But this He spoke of the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. John 7: 15 The Jews then were astonished, saying, “How has this man become learned, having never been educated?” 16 So Jesus answered them and said, “My teaching is not Mine, but His who sent Me. 17 If anyone is willing to do His will, he will know of the teaching, whether it is of God or whether I speak from Myself. 18 He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who is seeking the glory of the One who sent Him, He is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him. 19 “Did not Moses give you the Law, and yet none of you carries out the Law? Why do you seek to kill Me?” 20 The crowd answered, “You have a demon! Who seeks to kill You?”

There's really no such thing as a non-denominational Christian. Think about it. Christ created one visible and heirarchical Chruch, the Catholic Chruch, and all of His followers must belong to it, not man-made "churches" run by random people who have no authority to do what they do. It doesn't make any sense for people to call themselves Christians while refusing to join the Church that Christ started and then to use the Bible, which was created by the Church and is the property of the Church, as their sole rule of faith.
