Demons are just those angels that chose to follow Lucifer, wouldn’t we have always had command over them? It’s my understanding that Jesus was sent to form a new covenant with Man, and his sacrifice was to replace the live animal sacrifices that the Jews were making. I’m sure there is more nuance to it. There are stories of Christ descending to bell in order to steal sin from Lucifer, IIRC. Would it be stealing? That may be the wrong term as theft is certainly a sin. Language is so muddy at times.

@@brob368 I mean almost all Satanists agree that excorsism is a bad ritual. A father killed his son during an excorsism in 2019. And in 2021 a man killed his father during an excorsism. Respectfully I think Christians should be ashamed for refusing to denounce excorsism for the harm it has caused throughout history. I grew up in a Christian family and at one point could have been considers a son of God. Then I became atheist (anti-religious) for what I couldn't bear to see the religion I grew up in doing. Fortunately I got over my anti religious predispositions and rediscovered Satanism as something I truly believe in. I am what many call a "Compassionate" Satanist (the fastest growing sect) so I'm not involved with the Church of Satan.

[@brob368]

@@borontv6400 are these reports from people not trained in exorcisms? Who maybe didn’t know what they were doing? I would bring to your attention that compassion and Satan don’t mix, so I’m not sure why you would call yourself a compassionate satanist, you would just say you’re compassionate. Satan by definition is the enemy of God and his creation, he doesn’t love you, he does love that you’re away from God though and I am sorry for whatever Christian became a stumbling block in your life, Christian’s aren’t perfect and they shouldn’t be self righteous.

I praise Jesus and thank God daily for setting me free. The battle is daily, in breaking the chains of witchcraft, but I am willing to take the suffering to spare another from the devil. Thank you for your testimony! ✝️

[@grasshoffers]

So I was hesitant to watch this, and here is why. As Catholic, I started looking for faith content, miracles and spiritually edifying content. This included looking at conversion stories. One of the stories was a ‘converted’ satanist…and he was under the tutelage of a Catholic priest. The problem was he was speaking to young teens at a school and he was getting detailed about how high in the Satanist realm he got. He was talking about he got all the girls he wanted, money, cars, power…that supposedly he never had to do anything illegal or really bad, but somehow he ended up being the main Satanist. It sounded more like he was recruiting kids by explaining the benefits. He would say how you should not do it and pray the rosary and such, but it gave me really bad vibes that he might be a wolf in sheep’s clothing. This young man approached it the way I would expect a genuine convert to approach the topic. God bless him and his conversion.

[@beverleyonyejianya5710]

You are spot . I’m the same. This is the most genuine and sincere Satan to Christ conversion story I ever watched. It was so intense I couldn’t watch it in one go. He didn’t dwell on the glamour of it in fact his testimony terrified me a little. Praise God for Michael’s conversion. ❤

[@techereyes]

Talking to kids about this stuff should be done very carefully, I agree. It's not wise to compare conversion stories though. I only stick to known Catholic podcasters and vloggers especially exorcists. It's the safest way to learn about these things.

[@jonathanhendry9759]

"He was talking about he got all the girls he wanted, money, cars, power…that supposedly he never had to do anything illegal or really bad, but somehow he ended up being the main Satanist." He was lying. A bunch of people have made up fake conversion stories like that and used it to build a career. They always claim to be the lead satanist, not a mere hanger-on. They always claim to have had access to wealth and sex, which is absurd given they're always talking about some hick town "cult". The math doesn't work out. One example of this is Mike Warnke, who made a career out of talking and writing about his conversion from satanism, but was exposed as a fraud by the Christian magazine Cornerstone. I'm sure this guy is lying or exaggerating hugely and he actually only listened to heavy metal and played some dungeons and dragons, neither of which make you a satanist.

The same opportunity was offered to me also in middle school. My friend took me to a Wiccan store… I immediately felt the evil and never touched anything and never went back. I was a very broken kid at that point- but I had enough knowledge of the faith to ask my angel for help and I ran the other way. Seven years later I gave my life to Christ as a religious sister. St. Therese said the only difference between her and St. Mary Magdalene was that Our Lord lifted the rock so she wouldn’t trip on it (aka mortal sin). I know it was only His grace. When I listen to stuff like this I feel so grateful for the protection around my life that I in no way deserved. Astounding!

[@8-BitHeart79]

I was raised Wiccan(pagan) and much of my early years from pre-teen on into my late 20’s I practiced. I in fact still to this day have my fathers wand. I say this because this gentleman is the first Christian person in all my life that I believe actually lived what he describes. I believe too many Christian’s try to sensationalize their stories to make it more of an “exciting” testimony especially in the Protestant, Baptist and Evangelical(prosperity types) circles. It’s not that they’re lying but embellishing… it’s hard for me to take people like that seriously knowing the world I came from was so much more subtle and dangerous BECAUSE of its subtlety. I have seen and experienced too many supernatural things in my life to deny a vail that separates natural from supernatural. But witchcraft and paganism put on a very friendly welcoming facade up unto the point it’s too late for you or you’ve discovered the mess you’re in and want out. You see, most Christian’s believe that witchcraft is the open worship of satan and that simply isn’t the truth. Satan disguises witchcraft as a good thing, something that can connect one to their natural world, supernaturally. Or as a vehicle of earthly Justice rater than Holy Justice. Majority of witches or those that practice witchcraft are not in fact evil by any stretch… in fact, they’ve been quite duped.

[@RosieJ7223]

Good point. There’s a friar from the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal (CFRs) in Ireland and he has a video where he said “there are no neutral spirits.” Hit me like a ton of bricks. I have pagan friends that are genuinely trying to do good, but they don’t know that all the supernatural spirits are either God’s holy angels, or demons who have denied God. There are no spirits “in between” or “light spirits.” But it’s hard to see that with the façade of “positive vibes” all over it. I am hopeful though for my pagan friends because at least they recognize that there is a physical/natural world AND a spiritual/ supernatural world. Many atheistic materialists can’t even have a convo about God. Praying that the true light of Christ will break prisoners free and heal all who have been damaged by false idols ❤️

[@ingoditrust7784]

If I may recommend another powerful testimony, look for Zachary King. Also, on a side note: in the Christian Faith, it's not about being a "good person". It's about being in a good place before God. No one is a good person, really. We either cooperate with the graces God keeps pouring on us, or we don't. To believe somehow one is "good" is a dangerous path to damnation.

[@Uncle_Ruckus_]

Let me guess, you frequented your local hot topic. So is there any spells that ever worked?

[@theyliveyousleep8965]

Yes, the progression of witchcraft can be subtle. Thats because most witches are completely unaware of what their practices are about. Witchcraft has been packaged with a New Age twist…as using “energies,” manifesting, honoring the elements of nature, casting (both good & bad) spells to affect change they desire, etc. And even though there is a wide range of practices, most witches are sternly adamant that their practices avoid or reject Satan. Which is why witchcraft seems so subtle…or should we say duplicitous. Most witches chant that they “do no harm” & are merely working with good or retributive intentions. But the reality is…they are unaware of the dark, hidden powers behind those false promises. And regarding what Christians (as well as most people regardless of religion) believe….very few believe witchcraft is “open worship of satan.” If anything, Christians see the hidden devil behind witchcraft…even though most witches themselves don’t see or believe it. And true…there is a LOT of embellishment on the internet. But sadly, not all of it is embellished. Much goes way beyond the simple Wiccan ritual circles. There is a *massive* range of evil practices, cults and sick people in the world. Some of which is so evil, that most wiccans and witches would be shocked. .

[@jonathangeorge5599]

So much of my conversion story matches with yours, Michael, though I'm from the Southern US and my home background is Non-Denominational and my childhood was "less than idyllic." In high school, I befriended a Wiccan girl, but very quickly moved past Wicca to a pagan restorationist sect dedicated to Apollo. Without getting too deep, I never went as far down the rabbit hole as you did though I was a favorite of our priest who began to groom me and train me as his acolyte. I was (blessed be God) saved from that situation by a good philosophy professor in college who was a Thomist, very patient, and more holy than he could know. I'm not sure if he knows that his Intro to Philosophy class is directly responsible for the beginning of my conversion. I sojourned through Buddhism too, and Yoga, and through the mercy of God ended up in the True Faith. I was received and baptised into the Church at the Easter Vigil in 2013. Blessed be His Holy Name.

The [adult] kids still avoided him so it was pointless to his real desire.

​@user-ly3li3ex8c if the man who cast the spell on his ex wife was a yoga teacher... means either he was a Hindu or he was practicing Hinduism. Yoga is part of Hinduism. And the words they chant are evoking the demons. Stay away from yoga. Anyway... the ex wife, might have got killed by the Hindu practicing man's evil spell. Hopefully she was not a practicing hindu.... hopefully, she was saved by the Real God - Jesus. Jesus is merciful to us when we are alive on Earth so we have to avail of His mercies. Because, after our death - it is only judgement.

I love this interview. It really gives me hope for my children who have turned away from God. It also reminds me of my conversion, I have always been a Catholic, but I became a “born again” Catholic in the way that I truly adore going to church and I try my best to be a good Christian Catholic. I went through the tears stage like him as well. It’s a beautiful feeling. When I go to communion, I talk to God on my way up and plead forgiveness (besides confession). I always feel like I’m walking towards heaven when I go to communion. God bless him for allowing this interview and God bless you for interviewing him.

[@kermierogers7876]

I was born in his hometown of Haverhill. Salem, MA is a beautiful port town but absolutely evil! I bought items from there, subsequently got involved in studying Tarot, Oracle cards, Kundalini yoga and went down a horrible spiritual path that led to terrifying sleep paralysis, a demon having sex with me, and a dark shadow presence in my room for several nights. After one terrifying encounter at the 3am hour where i "awakened the serpent" at the base of my spine, I was so terrified with the demonic presence that took over my body that i ran out of my house at 340am, and the next day I brought all those items to a Catholic church to have them burned. I then went to confession. That was a pivotal moment in my spiritual life. It is all very seductive at first and then it controls you. Stay away!

Listen, I want you to honestly think about this. Jesus was a Jewish Baptist. He created Christianity which used to be originally called "The Way". Romans killed Jesus. Where did the Catholic Church come from? Rome. This is why when you read the Torah "Holy Bible" Catholics break SoooOoo many of Gods laws. Constatine who created the Holy Roman Empire "Catholicism" used to kill Christians. He would burn them alive and watch animals eat them alive and be torn apart. He would throw Christian babies to bears in a public setting. People around the city started realizing these people weren't afraid to die. In fact, they embraced it. Catholics are literally the direct lineage of the people that killed Christ. They are labeled in the Torah as being the first beast in end times. Look at Paganism, now look at Christianity. Now look at the difference. The difference is when Constatine converted his army and land to Christianity he first changed some rules. He took parts of Christianity and took part of Paganism, and he created his own religion. Catholics are just Pagans in Christian cloth. That is why homosexuality, child abuse, praying to false idols "statues", and worshipping the mother are allowed in Catholicism because those are Pagan practices. I implore you to dig deeper into what you follow. Those following a false Christ will no inherit Gods kingdom. I'm saying this because I love you. If you want to follow Christ, then do as Christ did. Was Christ a Catholic? Was he a Mormon? Was he a LDS? No. He was a Jewish Baptist. He was a Christian. And by reading his words with an open heart to his glory you will see the truth. Please read and don't stop. I promise you Catholics are a part of the Bride, The Beast, and Babylon prophecy as stated in the Old Testament. Let Yehweh shine his light on you. God bless you all.

Wow. I am so beyond thankful for this powerful, beautiful testimony.

His tears were, for me, tremendously meaningful. I had to watch this in stages, with pauses due to my own weeping.

I think I’m most grateful to see how he sobbed frequently. This happens to me and I found it embarrassing because I felt like I was being hyperbolic and subconsciously doing it for show of true metanoia. But to see this; I know this. The heart nearly ruptures because the love held for God and our Blesses Lady-is so great. I understand when he said “(God) is so good to me, I suck”. I know that feeling.

I am a Catholic convert and HOME. When I was in college and a very poor protestant, I went to an E-Free church to speak to the preacher because I was very burdened with the life I was living. In his office, I essentially confessed all I had been doing. I will never forget his words, "If you have confessed these things to God, and you agree that He has forgiven you, who do you think you are to not forgive yourself?" I asked him what did he mean? He continued that if I believed God that He forgave me, why did I think I was more than or better than God and not forgive myself and put it all away? Oh, that hurt! Because it was exactly what I was doing. I was hoisting myself higher than God. He is the Creator and I am the created... who was I to raise myself higher by letting my sins (the guilt of them) to remain with me? Thankfully I was called home a dozen years later into the beauty and fullness of the Catholic church. The beauty of Confession is truly a life-saving, efficacious sacrament. May this guest find the power of God's great love and mercy and find peace. And.... welcome HOME! ❤

You should try to score an interview with the two members of the Swedish band Reverorum Ib Malacht on your channel. They used to be anti cosmic Satanists making black metal, until the two founders studied the Bible (to better 'blaspheme' in their own words) and ended up becoming Catholic. They're somewhat hard to get into contact with, but post on their channel 'Malacht Multimedia' every couple months. They're oddballs in the best possible way.

[@ellemeno5142]

​@@emilclark645​@emilclark645 Do as Jesus did... Jesus loved His mother, and so should we. Her fiat, not just at the annunciation, but her entire life raising Jesus and loving Him perfectly, helped bring the redemption. That is why we call her co-redemptrix, not because it was she who died for us, but she who denied her will like Christ, for the will of the Father. We are all, in some way, co-redemtrists, since we are all called to be the hands and feet of Christ, bringing the Word to our brothers and sisters. But we honor Mary, for Jesus was man and God and his Divinity and humanity cannot be seperated; they are one, and he was formed in the womb of a woman; hence we call her, Mother of God. That does not place her above God in anyway. But she bore the God-man. She suffered and pained as a mother but with more love than any mother, since she was perfected by God. She had to be, otherwise she couldn't have given birth to something pure and perfect. She was purified according to God's plan, she could not by her sin crucify her own son, nor could she sin while she bore him. Nor throughout her life, her special calling to raise him she could not both aid in redemption and also work against it. She's the model for us, on how to LOVE JESUS BEST. She's not the way the truth and the life, but she leads you to it with a mother's hand, she leads you to her Son. Everyone in heaven has achieved some share in the glory of God, in the mission of God and of the bringing of His Kingdom, the Kingdom of the Divine Will. (where we all follow God's will, like Mary, like Jesus... perfect love and unity in one Body, the Body of Christ) Marys mission is the highest Mission after Jesus, because she is His mother. She is the daughter of the Father, the Spouse of the Spirit, and the Mother of the Son. We are all called to be a Spouse to the Spirit, submissive (sub-mission, under the mission of) to the Will of He. To love Mary is to love Jesus; when you have a friend who you care about, don't you want them to love your mom as well, since you care about her most? When Jesus gave her St. John as her son, and St. John her as her mother, that was for all of us. She is there to help teach us wisdom, she understood the divine mysteries best, as she partook in them... Meditate with the Rosary, it's looking at Jesus through Mary's eyes. If the key is to love Jesus more and more, why not ask His mother how? We are her children too, since we are entirely one with Christ through the redemption, body blood soul and Divinity. Hence his mother is our mother.

From shadows as tall as doorways, to a faceless grey figure with no hair in a full body apparition peeking from beyond walls or open doors, to physical items being thrown. A lot of the things were directed at me mainly, my cell phone was thrown off the table in the home office, i would hear voices and think that im developing a mental illness.

I thought "well , a lot has to happen before He comes" and God said "Jesus was praised as the Son of David a week before he was crucified. You'd be surprised to see how quickly the world can change in a week. This was in March of 2020. A week before the churches were closed due to the pandemic ... 🙏

This interview stirred in me so many feelings. Joy for the gift of the Church, gratitude for all the gifts the Lord has showered upon me, and guilt for all the years i spent as an unrepentant sinner

This was a riveting conversation. God bless Michael and Matt.

I was born and raised in Dracut, now living next door in Tyngsboro, but my family was one of the first to settle in Haverhill in the 1600's. As a teenager through to my early 20's, I was heavily involved in practicing magic. For some reason, I thought removing or doing rituals without explicit references to pagan gods made it "okay". At the height of my involvement with this stuff, I attended my first TLM and God showed me what I was really looking for. It took a few more years, but I eventually came back to the Church after being away for ten years. Now, praying the Rosary in Latin or simply meditating with the Jesus Prayer gives me more joy than any pagan ritual ever could.

I’ve never heard it referred too as a gift of tears before, but maybe it is a gift. I can tell how deeply you feel things and I feel them this deeply as well. You’ve made me feel so much better about myself and my own tears through sharing your experiences. Thank you.

I had a Lutheran coworker who had the gift of tears. When I was going through some tough things in life she would pray for me and she has the gift of tears. I was unable to cry myself but she would literally cry for me. I appreciated that SO much. It is real.

Tears are cleansing. It's a gift from God.
