17 yrs. Demonic torment in my mind affecting all areas of my life. God delivered me as I read the Bible, got inner healing and deliverance. It was a serious fight. I list everything but gained Christ. No, I did not have drug or alcohol addiction and dont participate in anything like that the past 40 yrs. Ive seen and know things I never imagined through the spiritual warfare. Female, grew up in 70s and 80s. Good student, lettered in sports, obeyed parents, liked church. Doors were open thru family rage and being sexually abused, and neglected in general. God, Jesus is my deliverer. I am free! Alleluia. The Word of God works!

[@celestin777]

I am in a similar situation for the past few years. Glory to God that you experienced deliverance!

[@terezka5340]

I have long life oppression and past seven years possession. God is liberating me ever since baptism four years ago. It´s impossible to imageine to be truly and fully free. I have never been in my entire life. It seems never ending

[@lukebrasting5108]

​@@charleswilliams8248Why do you ignorant and arrogant heretics insist on barking like dogs all over Catholic videos when you don't know the scriptures as well as you think you do and are not members of Christ's Church? Instead of running your mouth and repeating what you're taught by false teachers , read Revelation 8:3-4 and you will see that angels intercede for us and present our prayers to God. You're not a Christian but a heretic and unless you convert to the Catholic faith before you die, you will never see the inside of heaven.

[@celestin777]

Father, after I converted before 4 years ago I experienced night terrors, sounds of chains and hoofs, bashing on the door, after I started praying more I had a big bruise that hurt appear out of nowhere. It stopped but the first year of conversion was really tough, God was with me through it all as He is now but I deal with severe mental torment and obsessions, I live a sacramental life to best of my abilities, pray but it is hard. It brought me closer to God but I'm still young (27) and try to accept and love God despite all the suffering. Please pray for me. God bless you all!

[@yuhu8380]

I’m 21 and am going through something similar. No chains, but foot steps and constant noise. Dead animals and chaos seems to always surround me. The dreams I’ve had are horrific and my head is full of some kind of yoke that hinders me from thinking straight. For 50% of my days I feel insane battling this thing until after Mass or say my rosary, sometimes I find rest. But not even meaning to, I recently went to a healing service at a nearby Catholic Church. It’s cooled down a lot since, not fully gone but I have great hope! Don’t ever loose hope! Bible and glasses also help a lot. Just thought I’d share so u know u not alone and I’ll be praying for you

[@celestin777]

@@yuhu8380 I'm sorry that you are going through this, my is constant, I do auffer from some other mental stuff coupled with those things that I mentioned above. Last Saturday I went to make a general confession and there was a Charismatic meeting, I feel lighter after those and also being in a community of faithful helps a lot. I totally understand you, I have also severe brain fog, cognitive and memory issues along those thoughts which then manipulate feelings too. Christ is with us, He knows why we go through all of this, but He is our, hope, fortress and salvation. I would recommend a short book named Miracle Hour: A Method of Prayer That Will Change Your Life by Linda Schubert and Fr. Robert de Grandis. Bible, Rosary, sacraments and we should also pray and invoke the Holy Spirit to guide us and protect. Someone recently recommended me to meditate on Christ's crown of thorns. God is a good Father, He will not let those things break us! God bless you!

[@annsaunders5768]

There isn't all that much time left to suffer and we must strengthen ourselves and just persevere in serving our Lord who took your sin upon Himself so you could go to heaven and not be hauled down to hell by the one who loathes you. God is amazing that way, but it must cost in order to be a true test of whether you are worthy of Heaven.

In the case of being tormented - it becomes a blessing when the afflicted comes to learn by faith and submission to God that the affliction has a purpose in our pursuit of God. For example, I experienced a call to teach a bible study in which I had reservations about accepting but after the Holy Spirit reassured me then I accepted the call for the year. During that bible study, I experienced extreme attack from one of the participants who mocked God's word, gaslit me, and otherwise attempted to obstruct the study (which was about seeking the face of God in prayer). Although the study was very difficult to lead, I finished my call in faith and the result was that God opened my eyes and ears to the nature of narcissism - becoming aware of this evil and it's attempts at attacking my vulnerabilities has progressed my faith over the years that proceeded after that incident.

[@sharon70418]

Sociopaths and narcissists (satan and his demons) made me run to God wanting to be closer to Him and to learn everything I could on these evil spirited people. Now seeking deliverance from ptsd and oppression in every area of my life 24/7. Again seeking God daily for direction, reading of the bible, praising the Lord and looking forward to my testimony and sharing my healing experience with all the people I can. I pray to help bring many souls to Jesus Christ before my day is done here on earth. Your comment helped me to remember the positive side of my situation. May God bless you on your journey in Jesus mighty name. Amen. ❤❤🙏💞🙏

Whenever there is demonic activity or even suspected demonic activity of any level, a person should most certainly follow St Paul's example of praying to God earnestly for deliverance. After that, it's up to God what will happen.

Psalms 7:9 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins. Romans 11:26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: Ephesians 5:27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. Titus 2:14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. I wouldn't call it a gift from God Almighty it would more likely be a curse instead of what salvation is to believers that become born again.

Hello Fr Ripperger, thank you for your repetition regarding infestation, possession and all and how to deal with it. However, there is a matter of concupiscence. That is, original sin and it's affects & effects on human behavior, attitude, actions, etc. Concupiscence is like an imprint in the soul or mind which can cause negative behavior or pestimistic outlook. To what extent can the devil tag on to such?

It is evil for a god or for anyone else to force another life form into the type of existence where they will suffer against their will because they might not want to exist in the type of existence where they will suffer against their will and that's why doing that to them is an evil thing to do. But if a god exists then it's not gods fault that god exists and unfortunately happens to be that way because if a god exists then god didn't get to choose to be whatever way that god happens to be. God is just forced to be whatever way that god happens to be no matter if god wants to be that way or not. And if a god exists and if god was created then god is forced to be the way that god was created no matter if god wants to be that way or not. If a god exists then the only way the way god is would be gods fault is if god willingly chose to come into existence and if god created itself and made itself be exactly the way that god wants to be, but that's not possible. And so if a god exists then god doesn't deserve anything good or bad to happen to god because the only way god would deserve something is if the way god is would be gods fault. But just like it's not a horrible criminals fault that they exist and unfortunately happen to be a horrible way, they should be stopped just like a horrible god should be stopped even though the way god is isn't gods fault.
