How Exorcists Find Out If Someone Is Possessed 

We?

Pray. God bless you

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 Alot of “christian” ministers don’t actually believe in the spiritual.

@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.

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

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.

@@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 ✌️

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. Yo he tenido depresión y eso es falso, detestaba cada vez que alguien me insistía eso. Busca ayuda entre tu familia, amigos, médico, y sobre todo, busca ayuda en Dios. Esquizofrenia, no he tenido, pero si buscas ayuda puedes vivir una vida normal. Tienes lo que tienes, agradece por lo que tienes, me parece que fue Aristóteles que dijo que la felicidad viene al que requiere poco. Que Dios te guarde siempre, Arturo.

@@alonsoACR Gracias. Me voy a seguir en el camino de Dios y seguir tomando mi medicamento. Que dios te bendiga también!

They have it.

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.

​@@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.

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.

Thanks @@alonsoACR , makes sense.

Doubt they are gonna care about a relic but I know personally they react to being around a Spirit filled man of God.

@@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.

I am not sure if all US states have an appointed Exorcist (I am not American), but the St Michael Center in the US specifically deals with this field & should be able to help. You can otherwise contact the Bishop of your diocese. They may or may not let you know, but it's worth trying.

@@lifesong8484 Thank you for the information!

I heard possession is a grotesque scene. In one of his podcasts, he said possessed people hurt themselves, eat their own feces etc. One can only imagine how much more awful it could be.

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…

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.

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 😅

I would seek out more priests, until you find one who actually has faith & is willing to help. In the meantime, the St Michael Center has an app with deliverance & protection prayers you can pray. I would also get some olive oil, salt & bottles of water, & ask a priest to bless them. Then you can use these both on your property & in your food/drink. Blessed salt can be sprinkled around the borders of your property. Holy water splashed around your home regularly. The Blessed oil can be applied to the doorways, windows & mirrors (as well as used in cooking). Oh, & something demons particularly hate is worship music! It is absolutely torturous to them. Highly recommend playing it. It doesn't even have to be Catholic (as long as it's Christian). They also hate Gregorian Chant.

^ Btw in my family we've been dealing with all 4 forms of extraordinary demonic activity (infestation, oppression, obsession & possession). Music is extremely powerful in the spiritual realm. This is why I no longer listen to any secular music, & regularly play & sing Christian praise music/songs 😄

@@lifesong8484 thank you so much for the advice I will keep looking for a priest and I will also try the things you suggested. It’s been a battle and it’s starting to become too much the oppression, nightmares, threats. I have voice recordings of these things talking and saying horrid things

Spot on. I've been through rehab, Aa meetings...the whole 9 yards. Daily mass, 3 x Rosary per day, fasting, regular confession are my salvation. I'm pretty much guaranteed to relapse if I ease up in my spiritual life. The demons know *exactly* how to destroy us.

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.

I appreciate your reply, but I'm talking about the ceaseless internal chatter of the mind. Is this the work of the evil one? Keeping our attention on what doesn't matter at best, and what is destructive at worst? Who's doing the talking and who's doing the listening? Because we are fallen, a pocket of the mind is a bottomless fount of pain.@@Ikthus

Very Socratic @@terriblefez

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.

Did you watch the video??

@@MW-he4cp Brilliant. Then let's see a SINGLE incident of levitation on video. It never happens despite quite a few "exorcisms" being recorded. In fact, nothing is ever filmed and presented which necessitates a supernatural explanation. I wonder why?

@@a.s.7936 Yes, I clearly did which is why I referred to an incident specifically described by the priest in the video. Your point?

But you have to consider, there are hundreds if not thousands of exorcists all over the world, who testify to the same phenomena (e.g possessed people knowing secret sins of the people present, eyes rolling to back of the head, things floating in the air, supernatural strength, fluency in ancient languages etc.) Would you say all these priests are delusional? Check out other exorcists. Fr. Martins isn’t the only one.

@@Charlotte_MartelObviously they’re not recorded for privacy reasons. Basic reason should tell you that assuming all that people are lying for who knows what reason is illogical.

To be fair, they had a 3-hour+ podcast, he had ample time to speak. It was pretty interesting.

its matt fradd bro

I like this host though. This isn't a speech, it's an interview. Matt Fradd knows when to let people speak, and when to butt in to raise up the questions a skeptic or curious listener would raise. Which is great! He wasn't good at that a few years ago, he has been getting better and better.

sure dude

Would you like to rephrase that?

Hey man, eternity is a long time, so you may want to be more careful. Blasphemy of the spirit is the one unforgivable sin.

Malicious, scurrilous accusations such as yours come from no person with the Holy Spirit dwelling in them. You need to take a long, hard look at yourself.

You may think that anyone who wears that collar is wrong or deceived, but to call your fellow man a demon is contra-Biblical and against Christ's teaching to love your enemy and pray for them. So before you try to take the speck out of anyone's eye, remove the beam from your own.

You do realise Catholic Exorcisms are completely free? I'm dealing with possession myself. I have been treated with utmost respect & kindness, & even when I asked for the Exorcists bank account details to donate, he wouldn't let me.
