Prayer and the Demons

Everyone prays.  As God is all present, even knowing our thoughts, (Matthew 12:25) one way or another, everyone will communicate to God, weather it is your thoughts, desires, love or hatred.

Even the witches and warlocks pray, even though it is to a demon.  

Anyone, and I mean anyone who does an incantation or a spell with the intention of harm to someone else or for a benefit is seeking access from the fallen side of the eternal realm.   This is dangerous and may lead to demonic obsession or worse.  The demons CANNOT read your mind, but with their angelic intelligence, they can make an excellent guess.  

Be careful what you say about someone, if it is negative or cursing, you could attract something you don't want around.  

Demons do study us and at times it can appear that they can read minds, but they cannot.  Even though they are fallen angels, they still have their intelligence and rank - what changed was their permanent position with God and their task for which they were created.  Example:  An angel created to inspire peace in human beings would then try to cause strife and division in his permanent fallen state.  

The good news is this angel only has a short time to do his evil work on the earth.  While he seeks to wreak havoc on the earth, we, the ones in a state of grace in full communion with the Catholic Church,  are those who are chosen to fight them. 

Know that the demons are very legalistic.  They know the scriptures better then you do and their aim is for you to break God's word so that at your judgement they have a shot of dragging you to hell.  Demon's love Ghost hunters with their 'e.v.p.'sessions because these misguided paranormal investigators talking to spirits are destined to love God yet are speaking to demons, putting themselves in the territory of the demonic.  

These are just some of the scriptures they want you to break:

"Do not have recourse to the spirits of the dead or to magicians; they will defile you. I, Yahweh, am your God. (Leviticus 19:31) 

If anyone has recourse to the spirits of the dead or to magicians, to prostitute himself by following them, I shall set my face against him and outlaw him from his people. (Leviticus 20:6)

This is what they use for you to fall.  Study it, know the word of God.  The word of God is one of the armors given by God to keep you on the right path.  

We as Christians have many weapons that we can use in prayer to both armor ourselves and to fight for others.  

The Rosary is a great weapon of prayer. 

In addition to the Rosary: 

1.  We can pray silently and the evil one cannot know our thoughts, these prayers are direct to God.
2.  We can pray vocally, and by using the name of Jesus with reverence and love for God, the demons who are assigned to our destruction (yep, you have one, just like you have a guardian angel, you have a guardian demon) are tortured.  Remember where it says to pray constantly?  This will definitely keep evil at bay as they evil ones will not want to come near someone who is constantly seeking the presence of God

3. We can place images of holy things before our eyes and keep demonic influences at bay.  You see we are in eternity right now although we cannot perceive it.  When we view something Holy to God (crucifix, etc) while we pray we are accessing the eternal truth that the Holy Crucifix contains that is eternal and not bound by time, without doing idol worship for we know that the carved or created image is not God himself, but an access to the truth contained within the witness of the Cross. 
4. Keep St. Michael Close, it is he who can protect you against the Principalities.  (Yep, they're a thing.) 

So be a force on the earth to fight the demonic forces.  Pray constantly, either vocally or silently using the tools that God has given us to do what every Catholic is called to do...

.

to make WAR on the earth.

The Interview.

Interviewer:  "Hello,  and welcome to Mystical Talk Radio, I'm John of Mystical Talk.  We have with us a woman who says that she is a warrior in the true mystical sense of the word.  Welcome Miss Anne.  Now I want our listeners to know that Anne is not her real name, our guest only agreed to the interview on the condition that we not reveal her identity, is that correct Miss Anne?

Miss Anne:  "Yes."

Interviewer:  "And Anne is not your real name of course."

Miss Anne:  "No, I'm afraid not."

Interviewer:  "Well tell us Miss Anne, our show is Mystical Talk Radio and from your book, Encounters with St. Michael the Archangel. you claim to have encountered the mystical realm, is that correct?"

Miss Anne:  "Yes, many times in fact."

Interviewer:  "So the mystical realm is real, is that what you are trying to tell us."

Miss Anne:  "Yes.  Very Real in fact.  More real that our own existence.  Accessing the mystical realm is the same as brushing the edge of eternity.  When you brush this truth, you have felt the breath of God pass over you."

Interviewer:  "So there is a God?"

Miss Anne:  "Yes, most definitely.  I have had many experiences of God, and although I am sure of His reality, it is not a reality that be conveyed to anyone else.  You see God is a personal experience for each person.  The love of God from His heart has given us many ways to access Him.   For those who seek Him with a true desire to know God and not by any selfish means, God will send a way to light the path.  These things cannot be explained by any means other than a loving, God who knows all and can direct us to Himself, if we choose to follow the signs that is.:

Interviewer:  "Can you give us an example of one of these experiences?"

Miss Anne:  "Certainly.  I have a heart condition that required I seek a Cardiologist.  I went to the Dr. and I had a list of questions that I wanted to ask him.  I especially wanted to ask him if my heart condition would shorten my life.  Basically, I wanted to know how long I could expect to live."

Interviewer:  "Ok, so you went to the Cardiologist, and what happened there?"

Miss Anne: "Well, honestly, he wasn't very nice to me.  I thought I was in the room with the man that was planning my funeral.  He took no interest in me, his demeanor was that I was a hopeless case, and it was obvious that he wanted to get out of there to go to something else that was more important to him."

Interviewer: "Oh, that must have been terrible."

Miss Anne: (laughs), "Well, yes it was, but the worst thing was that he made me feel so bad, I didn't feel like I could even ask him the questions I wanted to ask.  I mean, I was paying for his time, but he was so rude that I had no confidence in him at all.  I didn't get to ask him about my expected life span, I was so disappointed.  I left feeling awful about myself."

Interviewer: "I'm sure that's not the end of it, what happened next."

Miss Anne:  "Well that night I went to Eucharistic Adoration, to a beautiful church on a hill that had all night adoration."

Interviewer: "For our non-Catholic listeners, Eucharist Adoration is where the Blessed Sacrament is exposed in a sacred vessel, a Monstrance is it?"

Miss Anne:  "Yes, that is correct."

Interviewer: "And Catholics pray in front of the Eucharist, correct?"

Miss Anne:  "Yes, you see we believe it is truly the body, blood, soul and divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ.  I actually know it is true, but I don't think we have time for that."

Interviewer: (Yelling off mike), "Maggie, reschedule Miss Anne for another slot on Mystical Radio!"

Maggie: (Laughs) "No problem, as soon as you all are done."

Interviewer: (Laughs) "Well at least someone listens to me!  Ok, so you were saying Miss Anne.  Wait, let me ask you a question first.  Had you told anyone of your bad experience with the Doctor?"

Miss Anne: "No, no one."

Interviewer: "Ok, so you are at Eucharist Adoration, then what."

Miss Anne: "Well, after I prayed as I was leaving, a man stopped me as I walked down the aisle.  He said, 'Excuse me ma'm, but I need to stop you and talk to you.  Jesus wants me to tell you something."

Interviewer: "Wow, Jesus huh? Where you skeptical at all?"

Miss Anne: "I'm very analytical, I'm afraid I never dismiss anything right off hand, I always want to analyse what is given to me for truth or falsehood."

Interviewer: "So you were open that this man may have had a message from Jesus for you?"

Miss Anne: "Open, but not convinced."

Interviewer: "What did this man say to you."

Miss Anne: "He proceeded to tell me everything I had just prayed about."

Interviewer: "What!!  He told you what you had just prayed about?  Where you praying out loud, maybe he overheard you."

Miss Anne: "I'm afraid that isn't possible, I said all of my prayers silently.  I never uttered a word."

Interviewer: "And you had never met or seen this man before?"

Miss Anne: "No."

Interviewer: "Perhaps he made a good guess?"

Miss Anne: "No, you see he was too specific about what he knew.  The only way he could have known what he had told me was if God Himself had revealed it to him.  I believe this was the Holy Spirit preparing me for what came next."

Interviewer: "Please tell us."

Miss Anne: "Then he said something that could not be denied by any means other than God.  I had told no one of my horrible encounter with the Doctor, nor did anyone know that I wanted to ask the Doctor how long I would live.  The man looked at me and said the following:  This is what Jesus is telling me to tell you.  'If you want to have a long life, all you have to do is ask Me.  Ask Me and I will give it to you.'"

(Silence)

Interviewer:  "Wow.  That is amazing.  So what was your reaction to this?"

Miss Anne: "I think my eyes got big and my mouth hung open for a bit!   After that there was no doubt in my mind that what he was telling me was from the Lord."

Interviewer:  "I must say I'm always a little skeptical myself but I have to say that is amazing.  So tell us, did you ask Him for a long life?"

Miss Anne: (laughs) "Well, I think I will keep that prayer to myself."

Interviewer:  "And rightly so.  Well I'm afraid we are now out of time, but this has been a fascinating talk and I do want to thank you for coming on Mystical Talk Radio, and we look forward to having you back on a future radio show.

Miss Anne: "Yes, thank you, I would be happy to."

Interviewer:  "And I am John with Mystical Talk Radio, until next time!




=============================================
The Radio interview is fictional, but the story contained in it is very true and happened to me.

"They Fear You."

Recently I was contacted by a young man who said he was very scared because he was experiencing demonic oppression.  He sounded terrified and didn't understand what was happening or what to do about it.   Now, normally we are called to be sceptical and not see the devil under every bush, but something about this young man's genuine fear pulled me more to belief than not.  I know that he could have had mental issues, or been just someone craving attention, but what he told me he was experiencing would dispel both of those theories. 

He said he was not religious, he said that he had been baptized many years ago as a child or an infant, but other than that, no religious or church experience.  So no matter what the truth may have been, either way I decided I was going to go to war for this kid.  (My prayers nor me asking him to pray in no way would hurt him.)

The first thing I did was send him prayers of Saint Michael the Archangel, the  long and the short version.  I told him he wasn't alone, and that I too had experienced demonic oppression.  I fought them with the Word of God, and the Holy Rosary at first...later I would use the weapons they must flee from, Holy Confession and the Holy Mass.  

What he sent me in emails was torturous for me as a mother to hear.  The demons where torturing him mentally and physically.  He was so scared, he said he had no one to talk to about this and didn't know where to turn.  When it was at it's worse, I went late one night to St. Joe Hill and offered the Stations of the Cross with many tears for him, begging God to protect him.  That night he emailed me back (before I told him I had prayed the stations) and he told me they were leaving him alone and he could sleep a little.   (The demons can't stand the Stations of the Cross.)

What really surprised me is that Matthew was experiencing obscure demonic tricks that I doubt he could have gotten from the internet. (I will not mention what they are). 

Our fight wasn't over, and there were many emails back and forth.  I made him some prayer videos and sent to him, which he said did help him.  In one email he spoke of the demons saying that... "They fear you." (meaning they were afraid of me). I knew immediately what that was.  The demonic will NEVER give you a compliment, but they will try to get you to have pride so that you will not be in a place of communication with God.  Pride broke the line of communication from God to the demons, and they desire that I would have pride in my 'holiness' so that God would no longer hear my prayers for Matthew.  It didn't work.

Later I sent him a blessed Rosary with the Miraculous Medal.  This was his most recent email to me:  

+++++++++++++++++++++++
"I am happy to be writing you again. Ive thought about you everyday and the items you sent have helped more than anything else.

They ran instantly from the miraculous medal. when i hold it and recognize what i am holding, it all goes away. all the pain all the torment torture, what-have-you... it all goes away. Im so happy!


i wanted you to know im doing well and i hope the same for you!!!"
+++++++++++++++++++++++

I knew for sure he was telling the truth, because he was not Catholic, and had no experience or knowledge of what a Miraculous Medal was.  

I have recently told him that he isn't done yet, he as only a reprieve and am encouraging him to come fully into the Holy Catholic Church because we have the best weapons to fight the devil, and I'm afraid he will be fighting this for a while.  I haven't heard from him, please pray for him.

The Miraculous Medal is powerful, we should all have a blessed one and wear it if possible. 

Connecting to Heaven

As a Mathematician I have a great hunger for knowledge.  I seek knowledge in Mathematics like a bulldog would, I dig in, latch on, and don't let go until I have what I want.  Because this is the method I have used to acquire knowledge, it was no surprise that I would employ these same techniques when it came to seeking after God.    

It is written, "there is no one who seeks God", well I did.  I went after God, and sought Him diligently and by God's grace I will tell what I found.  

1.  God exists, and is very real and is an eternally Holy, and is eternally just.   Although there will be no direct scientific proof of Him, because He is the author of creation and is not bound to be subject to the criteria of proof required to prove 'existence' .  God does give evidence of Him being the author of all life and creation, but men push it away as a natural occurrence, a fluke or a coincidence.  There is no such thing.  Natural occurrence, fluke or coincidence are only aspects of the mystery of "God Allowing."  God is  "I Am"....He IS existence.    

Human beings experience 'reality' in relation to time and sensation, God is not bound to these constraints.  As we were created by an Eternal God, the eternity that is our destiny was placed in our hearts and despite all our limitations in a fleshly state, we can rise above the groans and demands of the flesh and seek the truth of an Eternal existence that is not waiting for us when we die, but that we are a part of right now. 

If we are in Eternity right now, then our thoughts, actions, and words will have eternal consequences.  Whatever we say, do, or think, God remembers for all eternity, and if our actions are sinful and not repented of, they may require an eternal consequence.  Do not think that because you flesh lives a short life, that you can do what you please and tread on the Honor of God for your own desires.  For some will come to their deathbed in such a horrible state of mortal sin, that only the hands of a Priest giving the Anointing of the Sick can turn God's wrath from their eternal damnation. 

2.  As God loves those He has given life, God has given his creation a means of piercing the veil that separates life from death and perceiving, at least in part, the eternal reality that awaits those that will diligently seek Him.   Yes, we can perceive Heaven, even while we are in the flesh.

3.  The most powerful methods given to man to gain access to the heavenly realm are:
      i) The Holy Mass with frequent Holy Communion
      ii) The Holy Rosary 
      iii) Confession and Penance
      iv) Holy Scriptures 

The two most 'portable' methods of these being the Holy Rosary and Holy Scriptures.  

The Holy Rosary is the best portable method of purification of a soul in order to gain access to the Heavenly Realm, as God allows.  We can have access to praying a Rosary when reading scriptures would not be feasible.  

4.  Gaining access to heaven isn't about what you do, or how many times it is done, but about what your heart does.  There is no list of how many prayers it takes to get into heaven.  St. Michael will not be looking at your excel spreadsheet of prayers to see if they were completed, but he will take you heart and weigh it in it's love for others.   How much did you truly love and pour yourself out for others, even to your last breath.    In one scale, will be your heart, in the other will be the Cross of our Lord.  Your heart will be weighed against the Passion of our Lord, and His sacrifice.   If you understood this, you would be terrified.

5.  The Holy Rosary is for purification and petition, but the Holy Mass is where the Heaven's are first opened for us.  This was not something that happened instantly, I had been a great sinner, and had to go through several years of purification before I attained this perception, as God wills it.  But I can tell you, when the Heaven's Open during the Holy Mass, we have access to the Throne of God for our petitions for others.  (You only get to this level, if you have truly humbled yourself before God, sought nothing for self, and petition God for the good of another, seeking no acclaim or attention.)  

I have seen the Saints in heaven observing the Holy Mass being celebrated on Earth, and how happy they are!  When you perceive God in this way, you are given what a victory the Holy Mass is on the Earth and how it was a gift from God to man.  Not just Catholics, but every soul on the Earth benefits from each and every Holy Mass that is said, and many souls in Purgatory are released to the beatific vision of God. 

6.  As God allows, depending on the state of your heart and soul to God, He may allow you access to the Throne of God for your petitions outside of the Holy Mass.  Yes, God can do that, and I didn't even realize I was seeking this connection outside of Holy Mass until God showed me what I was doing.  

We in the flesh are very limited, so God gives us each and every person that we encounter in our lives, no matter how insignificant that encounter.   Your children and family are a gift from God, but also is the woman that cut you off in traffic.  God gave her to YOU and He showed you that she is in a potentially dangerous state, and made sure you didn't forget her.  (Wouldn't you come home and complain about being cut off!  You remembered her!!)  There are NO coincidences, and no accidents.  

After encountering an older gentleman that God gave to me for prayer,  I looked up to heaven and petitioned God for this soul as if I was with him before his Judgement.  Instead of just praying for the soul, I go the extra mile and seek to be present at the souls Judgement and petition God for them.   I seek the Throne of God, the Judgement seat of Christ, and before the Cross, I kneel with this soul and petition God to be merciful for his or her sins.  

If the man is still alive, how can I do this? Because we are bound by time, God is not.  God is ever present in a state of eternal "now", with all things before Him constantly with an eternal and perfect knowledge whether the knowledge is from the past or the future.    This perfect knowledge in eternity in no way hinders man's free will to direct his future even though that future is already known by an eternal, loving and perfectly just God.   Even though this man is still living, God is in some sense of eternity presiding at this man's judgement, and He was given to me to be one that pleads for him before the Throne of God.  I have a level of faith that knows that God, if He wills, can allow me to plead at this man's Judgement even though this man is yet still in the flesh.  

If we are going to seek after God we must realize that because of our sinful nature, He is not like us, but as He wills, we can become more like Him.  We must seek to understand the truth of God's reality and seek to perceive this reality to attain the salvation of others.  

One of the best ways to do this is also to constantly remind God, "Nothing is impossible to you, if you will it."  But know God is not mocked, He knows even the deepest secrets of your hearts, so if your intention is not pure, you will attain nothing without a heart directed for others that allows you to be properly dressed for the wedding feast.

God desires ALL  to seek Him.  The Saints have all had this access to the Throne of God, and the one's that did most obviously, where very devoted to the most Holy Rosary.

GO AFTER HIM...and Godspeed. 

==============================

St. Gemma praying, looking to Heaven.

St. Gemma's prayer as a child was “Holy Virgin, make me a Saint.” During this time she often said the whole fifteen decades of the Rosary on her knees in the evening after her return from school and she also began to use penances and to rise in the night to pray. - 

Vision of Eucharist (Part I)

It's time.

This is what I saw.  The words underneath the vision of the Eucharist is what I heard.  A man's voice, gentle, but with authority to it that you did not question.

Now the history.

I was baptized a Catholic as an infant.  Although I went to Catholic School, I never did get my first communion or my confirmation.  (There were problems at home).  We had school Mass every Friday morning.  We didn't have a "blessing", if you hadn't had your first communion, you just sat there and watched everyone else go.  This was torture.  

After Catholic School, I would still go to Holy Mass, at St. Michael the Archangel Church, but I would never take Holy Communion.  Again, I would just sit there.  I can't tell you how bad I wanted to take Holy Communion.  I KNEW it was Jesus, and as a result I was also terrified of it also.  Although I saw other people take the Blessed Sacrament, I  got to a point that I gave up ever being able to receive Holy Communion.  I can't tell you how much I would hunger for what I thought I would NEVER HAVE.  

I still prayed the Rosary.  Marriage, years went by.  

One night I had a dream.  In the dream I went into a beautiful church, and when I walked in there was red carpet and pews to the left.  To the right was the Altar in this Church and the Holy Eucharist was hanging over the Altar.  The Eucharist was as BRIGHT AS THE SUN!!  Before the Altar, was a one person kneeler.  (Like the one below - red cloth and everything!) The only difference was the kneeler in my dream didn't have the top part where you place your elbows when you pray. 

I knew Jesus was standing next to me, to my right.  I wasn't permitted to turn and look at Him.  I heard Him say in my dream, "Kneel and receive Communion." 

I said to him, "But Lord, there is no Altar for me to kneel on." (I meant the top was gone from the kneeler).  

The Lord said to me, "I will become the Altar." And He laid across the posts and became the wood and the cloth and I knelt and received Holy Communion.  

When I woke up, I knew what I had to do, I knew He was calling me to get my First Communion.   But how? I didn't know there was anything like RCIA.  I loved the Priest at St. Michael the Archangel, but he had such a deep voice he kind of scared me.  I thought I would find another Catholic Church to get my Communion from.  I called St. Martha's Catholic Church and their RCIA was starting in a few weeks. (Go figure!) 

I had never been to St Martha's, never stepped in the door.  I signed up for RCIA and started going there for instruction.   The first time I stepped into the Sanctuary at St Martha's, my breath was taken away, and i cried.

It was the EXACT same Church as in my dream.

======================================

More of this story coming in (Part 2).
