How Exorcists Find Out If Someone Is Possessed

[@MNkno]

I wish this priest, or at the least, his understanding of possession and evil, had been accessible to me back when we needed guidance and prayer. It wasn't something a psychiatrist or counselor could handle. It was real, and we got gaslighted.

You can't trust every christian minister either. They can be false ministers who are manipulative and demon filled with the spirits of Jezebel, Leviathan, ect. They pretend to want to help, but they are getting narcissistic supply off of those who go to them.

[@lauragraves4342]

@brock2443 I've heard that, and I def believe it. Why would they do horrible things if they really thought God was real and He was going to give them what they ask for in the end? They just use believing in Him as a mask and a tool.

[@AnneEloiseOfCNY]

Fascinating! I try not to watch a lot of devilish videos. That's because before I converted to Catholicism, I loved all that spooky stuff. So, I don't feed that latent interest. But it is also so good to know that such worthy priests know how to combat evil. And it's beneficial to know that demons are ... well ... like that. (If I write how lurid they are, I could be attracted to it due to my past practices). Thanks so for posting this. I learned a lot! ✝️🛐💟🙏🔥🌟🔥💖

[@CollinKillian]

Nothing wrong with the spooky stuff..So long as you practice your faith, take the sacraments seriously, etc..

[@justmyopinion3450]

If you ever were to come face to face with a demonic presence, it would break you of your fascination. It's like facing a man-eating tiger, with the added fillip of intense hatred to increase your instinctive fear response. Not. Fun.

[@AnneEloiseOfCNY]

@@justmyopinion3450 What a nerve you have! You are assuming you know me from one post. An ACCURATELY WORDED post! I have dealt with evil entities, and I understand their ... Unholiness. So that is one WRONG assumption! Second, I called this video "fascinating" because with clear lucidity this phenomenon is explained. THE EXPLANATIONS fascinated me, not the filthy demons! Sheesh! Thirdly, I was told to stay away from demonic things unless it was obvious I was targeted. And I do stay away, one day at a time. It sounds like you are early '20's with little life experience. So I'm not going to explain that to you. You were dense enough to NOT get it on the first go around. You probably wouldn't on a second, third, or fourth go around. Only, you have a supercilious unmitigated nerve to accuse me of what you did! Finally, get away from me. Don't post to me even one word. After the filth of which you accused me of, I want no part or parcel to do with you! STAY AWAY!

@@CollinKillian You are very right about staying close to the Sacraments, and the Bible too. The other things, I no longer need them. "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Peace ✌️

[@marek1911]

The easiest way to detect a demon: recite or play a recording of Psalm 23 (The Lord is my Shepherd). If you feel a shiver / get goosebumps from the psalm itself - bingo. Something has attached itself to you. I'm speaking from experience. Also: if you need to ask a Saint for intercession with a demon-related issue (like a haunted house for instance), pray to St. Therese of Lisieux. I felt as if someone had ripped something that had been Velcro'ed to my back the moment I asked St. Therese of Lisieux for her intercession. I felt it physically.

Dios te bendiga, Arturo. Cuando sientas que no puedes, encomiéndaselo a Dios. Seguro ya has oído eso mil veces, pero se suele recomendar por algo. Lo que no te voy a decir es que tú puedes solo.

I know many Catholic exorcists get a bad rap and sometimes deservedly. But from one exorcist to another, this priest knows what he is talking about!

I have known about Fr Martins since seeing his wonderful video about the Holy Relics. One thing I was wondering, just came to my mind while watching, would a genuine possessed person always react to a Blessed object like a Rosary, Cross or medal for example? Similarly, would asking the possessed person to say a prayer (Our Father, Hail Mary etc.) be a test?

[@Mich_G]

I've heard Fr Martins say that the Hail Mary prayer is a better test than the Our Father. That they can fake praying the Our Father, but because of how much they detest Mary, the farthest they will go with it is to jumble up the words of the Hail Mary prayer.

[@crusaderACR]

​@@Mich_GI've heard testimony that the Our Father is just as effective if said in full. I believe it must be the part of "deliver us from evil" right at the end.

[@crusaderACR]

While prayer is an effective measure, it becomes a settled matter after either it involves supernatural events, or there are several witnesses present. In cases where there's nothing truly supernatural or it's lacking witnesses, I recommend seeing both a priest and a psychiatrist. Just in case. I did so for a personal experience. I've seen a few psychiatrists, discarded all posibilities, and went straight to my city's exorcist, which worked. So in the end it was demonic in my case. Father, deliver us from evil. As an example of the other situation, in my brother's case he did have witnesses and it was recurring so he never had to go to a psychiatrist for that. FWIW this experience transformed my religious life. I cannot deny nor doubt when I have a personal testimony. The devil likes his tricks. And, as they say where I'm from, his greatest trick was that convince people he didn't exist. God have mercy on us, sinners.

Doesnt the bible say not all demons can leave by commanding them to leave in the name of jesus. But by prayer and fasting.

Question: How can one tell the difference between having a Demon, hex or a curse upon you?

[@grinningtiki220]

@@2tallyGr8 Was checking because recently I started asking questions of my inner voices, or what I thought was mine. Have been working on myself these last few years (8) and have not been able to get much further, like something was blocking me from advancing. Cured depression but the negativity, sloth and self doubt was still there. So about four weeks ago I had just woken up and had said aloud what could I do that would make me happy and make money. Something that has been on my mind because current jobs are not paying the bills. A inner voice instantly replied "Nothing, I don't deserve to be happy" Now I have heard this for so long since I was at least seven years old that it seemed to be apart of me. However that morning an intuition was given to me (perhaps from a guardian angel) To ask a question of the voice. "Who said that? Is that my voice and is that true"? It started to get angry. It certainly looked like me and I knew it well for all these years. After some back and forth arguing I said "Lord are these things true"? What looked and felt like me vanished and a black creature was revealed. Once unmasked it disappeared. One week later same time in the early morning it attacked me in my sleep. It was not in the house so much as it was on another plane that did not include the house, room or my bed. I was laying on my side and it had paralyzed me. What happened next were words had been put in my mouth from a third party. I croaked out "Christ, is ,Lord" The black being hurt me. I repeated over and over again getting louder each time "Christ Is Lord!" I could tell this hurt it and it released me and vanished. I wanted to know what the difference between all three was so that I could get the specific help needed. After this encounter videos about exorcists have been getting suggested to me. I have been reading aloud the prayers from a little book on spiritual warfare I bought on a whim earlier this year. Have access to holy water but did not want to start using it without understanding the risks involved. My apologies for the long read.

[@geo.ies93]

That’s because of original sin. Because of it, we are naturally inclined to do evil. That is why evil FEELS GOOD. But, through the grace of God, made possible by Jesus’ death on the cross, we are saved from this wicked tendency. We just have to allow God’s grace through our will. After all, “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.” God bless you.

[@seth956]

Likely it's not your mind that turns on you. We have a heart, mind, and soul. The heart is much more intelligent than the mind and knows when you haven't fully committed. Your heart will always pull you back to what you truly desire. You have, and are heart, soul, and mind by way of the image of God. Sin creates conflicting wills between these, which can only be made congruent through an outside perfect source in Jesus Christ.

I agree…Not that I don’t doubt the reality of the demonic and paranormal…but it’s quite odd not ONE exorcism has been accidentally recorded or “leaked” just strange…

[@lifesong8484]

They don't record Exorcisms out of respect for the dignity of the possessed person. Both the Exorcist priest & the afflicted person are protected though, as it is required for other ppl to be present during the Rite. Not just bystanders, but ppl specially chosen to assist. If the possessed person is female, there is supposed to always be at least another female present.

[@lifesong8484]

Exorcists usually have layppl present who can assist with Gifts of the Holy Spirit, such as gift of knowledge or gift of discernment of spirits. In my case we have the Exorcist priest & a minimum of 2 layppl who both are gifted & Holy prayerful ppl. It makes it quite difficult for the demons, as it's like the weapons are coming in from all directions 😅
