What is an exorcism?
In my vocabulary I use the term exorcism
only when removing a demon from a person or location. I call it a clearing when
dealing with ghosts and other energies. A demon is an entity that has never
been human and feeds on emotions such as fear and anxiety.
In my experience you do not have to believe in demons to suffer a possession.
Some of the things that make people susceptible are: physical trauma, any type
of abuse that alters a persons perception of self, drinking, smoking and drug
ingestion of any kind that alters one's energy and/or thought processes. I have
also seen possession due to a karmic agreement by the person or a parent.
Everyone is susceptible to a certain extent - know anyone who undergoes a
drastic personality change when they drink? Then can't remember their actions
right away? It's more a matter of knowing your own Self and acknowledging when
something isn't right. Quickly recognizing a stray emotion or negative thought
gives you the power to refute it.
I find that people who engage in the type of religions that teach a lack of
self worth are feeding grounds for these negative entities. The Bible [Jesus
specifically] preaches to love ourselves, so any church telling us how wicked
and undeserving we are directly opposes the gospel. Letter of Paul to the
Romans is full of warnings against such preaching pretending to be from God.
Especially Romans 16: 17. I'm not going too far into that. I have a Bible Study
on Blog Talk Radio you can refer to if you are interested. Demons are not
church specific or faith specific, however they will manifest in a way
particular to the victim. Be strong in who you are, your faith and be joyful -
demons hate that!
Where
do you suggest an individual go if they are looking for someone to perform an
exorcism? Do most exorcisms require more than one person?
I would recommend finding someone who
makes you feel deeply at peace when you speak to them. They should also try to
rule out mental illness or other causes for your woes.
I was raised Catholic and I know that
Catholic exorcisms are rarely performed. And honestly, a full blown exorcism is
seldom needed.
How many people participate depends on
the situation. I have done them alone with the subject or have had the family
who is effected involved at other times. The key is that if it is a person who
is infected, they need to truly want to be cleared and the must have faith that
God will deliver them. Sometimes this is accomplished in the course of the
work.
Some take weeks where others take only an
hour. Every situation is different.
Make sure whoever you hire is
compassionate and not just flaming your fear to make as much money from you as
possible.
They should know what to do with the
entity once they remove it so it doesn't come back. They should instruct the
subject to fortify their connection with God and their protection to ensure
against a relapse. Family members and those close to the subject should also be
protected during and after the ritual.
