  • I noted of all the examples of how the demonic can enter two of these stood out. First abuse and second habitual sin. I was sexually molested when I was 8 years old. I have reached out to counseling in 2017 for this after years of keeping this buried out of shame. As of writing this however I am struggling with addiction and it's truly a battle. I can tell you from first-hand experience childhood molestation is pure evil and it devastates anyone who has suffered this!! Please pray for me!! 🙏

    I was abused by my biological father so much for years as a child and then molested by a middle aged woman at age 14. This constant abuse totally caused me to be very self destructive. I never lived a life i only survived. I pray n love jesus very much. Please pray that God father will restore to me everything that was taken from me in this life.

    My Catholic husband of 38 yrs caught in adultery. Now divorced. We went to church weekly. He lied and was a wolf in Sheep’s clothing I became prosessed by the demons. I couldn’t control my anger. My brokenness led me to deep despair. I was a daily mass follower. It’s NOT EASY TO FORGIVE. Years to get demons out . I am being refined by fire and Gods directed me in agency. I will forgive everyday at mass for rest of my life. Gods grace healed my heart. SISTER Miriam James has a great meditation on Forgiveness.

    I have met this man, and he is as nice as he sounds, and I believe God has blessed the world with him.
  • St Michael the archangel defend us in the day of battle. Be our safeguard against the wickrdness and snsres of tbe devil, may God rebuke him we humbly pray. And though prince of the Heavenly Gost by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl around the world seeking the destruction of souls.
  • @Angel-yl1ck
    Eever since I was a child and now as a 72 yr old. This is the best presentation. I love Jesus.
  • IDK why but when he said the demon wouldn't cooperate but instead scrambled up the phrase and said "grace of full" gave me chills. Because that encapsulates their nature: to twist, pervert things, take them out of order into disorder. It's like an element of defiantly evil playfulness

    St .Joseph terror of demons,pray for us.
  • Thank you father. My family destroyed by demons. Terrible animosity between siblings . I'm 70 and offering up rosaries everyday.
  • “No one is ever lost to God’s mercy and grace. If we want to be found, God will find us.” Always Seek Him and He will answer you. Pray fervently, fast, read the Bible. Thank you brother for this video. ❤✝
  • I went to confession and returned to the Church after becoming obsessed with the occult after watching your videos Father. Thank-you for sharing. I feel free today. Thankyou Brothers and sisters. I confession my soin to you all and ask to please pray for me. God Bless
  • I remember when I was 11 years old and experienced an attempted possession. I prayed so hard and I believed 1000% Jesus would block the attempt. It was blocked. Nothing can shake my faith ive seen God show up repeatedly to protect me. So thankful. I’ll forever worship him.

    I'm in tears thinking about the poor child dedicated to the devil by her mother. Wow.... she found spiritual help at age 18, and is now a sister helping the street children of Rome. That is beautiful, may our dear Lord bless her all her life.
  • I came from a broken family and grew up in it but I was blessed to have people who made me even closer to God. It was not an easy life but in His mercy, my family is in better shape. God gave me simple miracles in my life. Praise God!
  • @missluna
    My heart claps for that lady who turned her life around by the grace of God.
  • @lucyhero1254
    My life completely changed for the better when I went back to confession and began fully practicing my Catholic faith. Praise you Jesus
  • @jgrillo638
    Thank you for sharing Father. I recently came back to the church. Had my first confession of 10 years a couple weeks ago. Getting those sins off my soul has truly done wonders. Daily rosary praryer, and prayers. Attending Mass on Sundays, reading scripture is changing me in ways I never thought possible. The devil had many footholds in my life, but I want to walk with Christ.
  • Thank you for all your talking about the Bible in Jesus remember never lose you faith❤❤❤
  • Never in my life did I ever think that I'll find a Catholic priest talk about spiritual warfare. WOW, this is dope!
