In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
After having studied in many of our videos on the 99 Catholics channel the different
ways through which the powers of darkness act, we can say that to be a Christian is
to be free from these dark forces in order to be happy with God.
But it is not enough that you are free and happy.
You cannot remain calm, while you see around you hundreds and thousands of people who suffer
the onslaught of evil.
The devil exists and is very active, and as we have seen, young people and children are
especially vulnerable.
Therefore, you have to be a light in the darkness of this world and bring to all those around
you the light of Jesus Christ, the only one who can free us from the power of evil.
You have to make the Lord's Prayer come true, when He says: Deliver us from evil, that is,
deliver us from the evil one and from all its negative powers and forces that want to
harm us.
The official ritual of exorcisms says. According to proven experience, the signs of demon possession are these
speaking in an unknown language with many words or understanding the speaker;
discovering distant and secret events, regarding this point it is very important to discern
and be very careful about seers which there are many of on the internet;
showing forces superior to nature or age.
These signs may be a clue.
But, since these signs are not necessarily to be considered as coming from the devil,
it is also advisable to pay attention to others,
especially of a moral and spiritual order,
that otherwise manifest diabolical intervention, such as, for example, a vehement aversion
towards God, to the most holy name of Jesus, to holy Mary the Virgin and to the saints,
to the Church, to the Word of God, to her things, rites, especially sacramentals, and
to her sacred images.
Finally, the relationship of all these signs with faith and spiritual struggle in Christian
life must be carefully weighed, since the evil one is, above all, an enemy of God
and of everything related to the faithful with the salvific action of God.
In the first place, there is the aversion to everything sacred.
Sometimes they can't get into a Church or they feel very bad inside of it.
When you pray in front of these people, they become tremendously violent and aggressive,
even blaspheming those who pray.
They react badly to holy water or to blessed things like images, rosaries, relics, scapulars.
For this reason, some exorcists say that the best way to diagnose if a person is possessed
is to pray, even mentally, in front of them, or better, to do a brief exorcism to see their reactions.
Sometimes they manifest superhuman forces.
Father Amorth says that he has seen with his own eyes how delicate young women have easily
broken walnut benches.
If the person behaves normally, it is not a definitive symptom that he is free from
the evil one, since there are mute demons, who find it difficult to manifest.
Monsignor Andrea Gemma says that exorcisms always begin with the recitation of the rosary
and that he has never reached the last mystery with the devil having been able to endure
without manifesting himself in a violent way.
Sometimes, preternatural phenomena occur that can only be explained by demonic action.
And this without counting diseases, from headaches to very serious diseases, which can lead to
death due to spells done on purpose.
Sometimes, there are people who have nightmares, insomnia or discomfort which do not have a
normal explanation.
There are even cases in which in the x-ray examinations, magnetic resonance or MRI, it
is seen that there are physical health problems, and when they undergo surgery, the doctors
do not find anything, because they are caused by the evil one.
There are also cases of mental obsessions of hatred, taking one's own life, murder,
and sex, which are the product of malevolent influence.
All this without forgetting that the main manifestations of evil in our lives occur
through persistent temptations, which want to take away our peace and make us fall into
sin, to move us away from God.
There are four reasons why one can be possessed by the devil or suffer serious disturbances
from demonic causes.
It can be a simple permission of God, just as God can allow a disease.
Some Saints have had continuous vexations from the devil, and in some cases, even possessions
for some time.
Another cause may be by receiving a hex.
Just as there are people who can pay an individual to kill another, so there are those who pay
to hex others.
And God can allow the negative effects, especially if the person is unprotected by a life of
little faith.
If you have strong faith, it can happen that the curse returns like a boomerang against
the one who has done it or had it done.
Another cause of possession or devilish damage is due to visiting dangerous people or places,
such as going to magicians or attending seances or satanic sects.
You can also receive these negative effects of the devil by persisting in serious sins.
They occur in young people who are involved in drugs and in sexual perversions or in murders
or abortions.
As we described, the last two causes are of the total guilt of the person, while in the
first two, there is no guilt of the person who receives the damage.
Why does God sometimes allow evil possession or harm to innocent people, even children?
We can only answer that God allows everything for our good - Romans 8:28.
But God also gives us the effective means to free ourselves.
According to the exorcist priest Pellegrino Ernetti, what Satan dislikes the most are:
Confession, where Christ washes our souls with His precious Blood.
When you have problems, what you should never do is go to magicians, healers, spiritists,
fortune-tellers, witches, or shamans, since, apart from the fact that they are going to
get money from you, they are not going to solve your problems, but they are going to
increase your problems.
And they will want to enslave you, making you a regular customer, to get more money
from you.
If you do not know how to recognize the difference between shamans, sorcerers and fortune-tellers,
click on the video that appears on your screen where you can learn more about this.
Do not forget that the devil exists and has an interest in taking you to his kingdom of
darkness.
For this reason, you must defend yourself with daily prayer, and above all, with frequent
Confession and Communion, which are the two things that the devil detests the most.
In addition, the devotion to the Virgin Mary will be a permanent protection.
Also devotion to your guardian angel will be a great blessing to you.
Carrying religious objects will be of great help, because the devil flees from sacred
things.
In your house try to have images of Jesus and Mary so that you are well accompanied.
Use holy water, because Saint Teresa of Jesus used to say:
Of many times, I have experienced
that there is nothing with which demons flee more than holy water; they also flee from
the cross, but they return.
The virtue of holy water must be great; for me it is a particular and well-known consolation
that my soul feels when I take it.
And a witness says in the processes for the beatification and canonization of Saint Teresa of Jesus:
Mother Teresa of Jesus was comforted to drink holy water often, and she never wanted
us to walk without it, and if we ever forgot, we carried two gourds of holy water hanging
from the ribbon, and almost always she told us: it is a great good to enjoy the Blood
of Christ so easily.
And how many times we started on the road to pray the Divine Office,
and Saint Teresa of Jesus made us drink the holy water.
On the other hand, try to be attentive and take care of what your relatives see on television,
the Internet or what they read in books and magazines.
What kinds of video games do children have?
What cartoons do they see?
Who are their friends and where do they go?
Parents cannot ignore what their children are doing.
They are the first ones responsible for their education and it cannot be left to television
or the internet or video games or cartoons, which can have many negative elements and
anti-Catholic teachings.
On the internet you can get information about anything, but also about magic, fortune telling, horoscopes.
Magic rites can be learned, and many magicians offer free services, at first, to help the
unwary who need help.
And so they can be initiated into esotericism and the occult.
Please be careful, please be aware!
Do not get caught in Satan's nets, do not be his slave, following his instructions.
Do not wear amulets or talismans, which give you a false security.
Do not go after the fortune tellers to know your future, because they will deceive you
and you will follow a wrong path.
Try to be free with the true freedom of the children of God.
Only the truth will set you free, as Jesus said.
Be free, but with the truth in hand.
Be free, but without lying or deceiving anyone, without hurting, and above all, without being
enslaved by vices.
Be free and take the wheel of your own life.
You must be yourself.
Do not let yourself be enslaved by anyone.
Only our Lord Jesus Christ should be the owner of your life.
Surrender to Jesus and tell Him at this moment:
You can be a glorious and victorious Catholic, and turn away from yourself and those around
you the power of the evil one in Jesus' Name.
Why don't you do it?
Why don't you become a soldier of Christ, at the service of good and the Gospel?
Think that many of your brothers and sisters are sad, because they are oppressed by the
devil and his power.
And you can help them break free so they can see the light and be happy in this life and
for all eternity.
Do not forget that the Lord is counting on you and He needs you.
And now repeat with us:
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
