Just remembered something that baffles me about secular media. They insist on framing spiritual warfare (and specifically exorcisms) as something that’s like…. “old church”, something that “oh well we used to do that, but not anymore, that would be silly to do that now in our ✨enlightened age✨”.

I’ve seen it in Criminal Minds and in Supernatural and I think in Lucifer as well?

And it’s just such a confusing choice??? Like, where did these people get this idea???? Why is it so wide-spread??????

Every diocese that’s big enough to support them has an exorcist. We’re not told who that exorcist is, but we have one.

One of my religion professors shared a story with us from a few years ago when he had traveling exorcist visit his class! The guy was based at the Vatican iirc and traveled around as needed. He was on sabbatical for a break.

I get that part of it is ease of plot and getting side characters out of the way do the MCs can do their thing, but even then I do not fully understand it because the truth is so much more interesting!!! You’re telling me you’d rather have Dean and Sam be shut down by a skeptical old priest who insists they don’t “do that anymore” when a real priest would be like “don’t do anything until I call up the exorcist and get a proper investigation going”?????? Now that’s new. That’s interesting and a new kind of challenge they haven’t faced before.

And I can’t help but think that part of it is because our belief in the spiritual and spiritual warfare makes people uncomfortable. It’s all hunky-dory as long as they can dismiss us as being “those Jesus people who have too many rules”, but the second we start showing a true belief in the supernatural, a supernatural that can and will TANGIBLY affect us, they lose their nerve and start watering it down.

I’m reminded of an episode of Buzzfeed: Unsolved where Ryan and Shane went to a Catholic priest before going to their one demon location a season. It was obviously for a joke, but the priest took it dead seriously, and I think it really threw the guys off. It was very entertaining, and a much more realistic example of what would happen irl.

Saw this on one of the facebook pages I follow. I think all of us can relate to this experience, perhaps even more so these past couple years.

What's from God and what's not

From God

Holy - set apart from the world (which is cursed with sin) and anything that comes directly from God Himself

Love

Joy

Peace

Patience

Kindness

Goodness

Faithfullness

Gentleness

Self-control

Mercy, forgiveness and grace

Truth

And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Phil.4.8&version=NLT

Everything humans do in the Bible is not of their own power but God's which they receive the blessing to experience through FAITH. So, God is saying to keep our minds focused on Him because many beliefs or doubts start as thought and can work their way to the heart and spirit for better or worse.

What's not

Demonic - absence or lack of God's light and presence (think of how the sun provides warmth, light and life and as you get further away, space becomes cold, dark and inhospitable)

Anger/bitterness (holding a grudge)

Hatred

Sadness

Lonliness

Distress (fear)

Lies

Murder

Theft

Pride

Greed

Lust

Gluttony

For jealousy and selfishness are not God’s kind of wisdom. Such things are earthly, unspiritual, and demonic. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jas.3.15&version=NLT

Demons are angels who've chosen to separate themselves from God, and the Bible is very strict about committing sin in your mind and heart like 1 John 3:15, "If you hate each other, you are murderers, and we know murderers do not have eternal life."

This is to warn others about merely doing something in your mind and heart with good or bad intentions. You can do anything for the goodness of God if you're acting in genuine honesty, humility, selflessness and empathy. But anything can be sinful if you're doing it in selfishness, callousness, or in the desire for malice, deceit and disorder (chaos).

The point is, ALWAYS check your thoughts and feelings.

And we destroy every proud thing that raises itself against the knowledge of God. We capture every thought and make it give up and obey Christ. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2Cor.10.5&version=ICB

This to help you be aware if you're being deceived or influenced by evil spirits and to make a strong, conscious effort to DENY them, and do what God says instead:

Give Him your fears and worries

Be joyful

Be loving

Find peace in Him

Let go of anger

Pray and praise constantly

It can be REALLY hard to do these things, but God promises to give you endurance if you trust in Him (Isiah 40:31) and strength if you ask for it.

I can do all things through Christ because he gives me strength. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Phil.4.13&version=ICB

Start off your morning praying the rosary. I did. Today is another day on the battlefield for souls that is the Earth.

Good morning, my brothers and sisters.

Oh my Jesus

Forgive us our sins

Save us from the fires of hell

Lead all souls to heaven

Especially those in most need

Of thy mercy

Amen.

I've been struggling with wondering if I am doing this right. If I am worshiping Jesus the right way. I am second guessing myself alot lately. Wondering if it's worth it. If life has any point of we can't enjoy the things we like. And it makes me so mad. Because I do it to myself. I sit and question if it's this hard for any one else. I question if I even heard the LORD. If I truly was saves and have been forgiven. And I cry and ask and beg for signs that I am doing this right.

And today I was reminded that all of this is a spiritual attack meant to keep you from the LORD. The enemy tries to get you to feel this way so that you are far from you Father in heaven. To keep you from your purpose. He whispers lies to you and if you choose to accept them it leads to pain and anger and further sin. And its all to get you to distrust the Lord to question if he is truely there, if he cares and anything else. And our best way to combat it is to recognize it for what it is and to bring it to the Lord. Pray and talk it out. He wants our hardships he wants to be there for us. And to know him is to know his word, the Holy Bible.

I've been dealing with this cycle a lot lately. I feel as if I am faking it and going through the motions. Thinking that I am learning of him and not truly having that relationship, questioning if i am making it all up in my head as some sort of comfort to help me cope. And I won't lie, its made me feel quite hollow and sad inside. But then I came across something that reminded me that this is spiritual warfare, the enemy's handiwork. And while I can't find the post that reminded me of this, I will leave you will something He, the Lord, reminded me of when I was in one of these dark cycles.

LUKE 10:10-20

While this is very long, I will sum it up. The deciples were sent into the cities two by two to go and speak all that they learned from Jesus. He told them that people may or may not welcome them. And to all that do not welcome them, shake it off for he has given them "authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall in any wise hurt you. 20 Nevertheless in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rejoice that your names are written in heaven."

The Lord loves us and gives us power over the enemy because of Jesus's blood. We must remember that the head of the serpent has been crushed by the heel of Jesus all because of his sacrifice on the cross. The enemy has already been defeated. Always remember this beloved.
