I'm scared!

[InLight247]

First of all, I want to thank all of you for your advice, suggestions, sympathy and above all else your prayers.
I went to confession this afternoon and then stayed for 5pm mass. I feel like a weight has been lifted off of my shoulders but I am still praying and have saved many of the links to prayers that have been posted here.
This was an experience I will never forget…and it has definitely caused me to strengthen my faith.

Thank you for letting us know.
Praise the Lord!!

God bless!

Praise God you wasted no time in going to confession!

Also, don’t forget that simply saying the Most Holy Name of Our Lord reverently is a powerful prayer that will provide comfort, consolation, protection, peace, and joy.

Pax et bonum!

I’m not sure if you need to go to confession because I can’t identify what SIN you would confess but I find this especially disturbing …

… running her hands down my back …

 

[Bridge]

I’m wondering. Could it be possible that this “gift” may actually have been helped along in some fashion by potent herbs or the like? You mentioned she rubbed her hands up and down your back. Could she have put something on her hands? Something where just the smell of it (for instance, her hands may have been near your head while she was performing her ritual and rubbing your back) may have induced the reaction you described? Or perhaps the “perfume” she was wearing had something in it? These are possibilities that i would at least consider. By the way, perhaps this could explain her “vomiting” motions, perhaps she caught too much of a whiff of something she may have put on her hands.

Another thing i’d watch for in such situations are what are called “binaural beats” which can be played with music (and can be masked by the music) and they have the ability to alter one’s emotional state. Binaural beats themselves require headphones to be effective but there are similar methods (such as isochronic tones) equally effective that don’t require headphones. So if she accompanied her ritual with music i would consider that possibility as well.

But, then again, maybe she does have some sort of unearthly power. I am dubious of that though.

YAY! May God bless you for taking all of the actions that you can take. And prompt action at that! I wish we would all do that with even the simplest of sins.

And how wonderful that this has strengthened your faith. …“what satan means for evil, God uses for good!” (if we let him! )

Peace!

This is a long post…but I am scared about something that happened to me…and I found this message board earlier today.
I am a teacher for a child development center at a local community college. The last six months practically every single person that works with us has been faced with some type of medical challenge…either with themselves or a family member. We all decided that we would come to work early and start our day with prayer…the group has grown…and now our morning prayer is something that most of us participate in. Well, yesterday, a woman stopped by to visit. She was a former student for one of the teachers at our center and apparently she has a “gift” and is something like a “medium” or spiritual healer. She spoke to several people at our center and was able to tell them things that nobody else would have known. Each person she spoke to ended up leaving in tears. I wasn’t going to speak to her…but curiosity got the better of me. I am so sorry I did. She spoke of how I feel…saying that I feel lost, unloved, trying to find where I fit in, feeling like people hate me…things that I honestly do not feel!!!

I’ll explain more later, but this has the makings of a “witchdoctor” who propositions that you have a problem that only they can fix and requires their services.

She also told me that I had a dark shadow of a man standing behind me…she then proceeded to “heal” me…by running her hands down my back. A teacher who was watching her…said that as she was doing this, she had to stop and do what looked as if she was vomitting.

This could’ve been her entryway to cursing you. Again, if she tells you that she can help, when you don’t really need it, she gets you to buy-in to what she was “selling”. She then actually causes a problem herself by sorcery. This can be evidenced by the teacher’s reaction.

Afterwards, she told me that I was too troubled and that she needed more time to “work with me”…she asked me to come to her house. I felt sick to my stomach…a feelng that is finally now starting to ease up…I began crying and couldn’t stop…the other teachers all tried to talk to me but I just felt this horrible feeling about myself. When I left the building I immediately started praying the “Our Father” and then when I got in my car I prayed the Rosary…I prayed the entire way home. Apparently the woman told them that I made her tired…she couldn’t “reach me”

Prayers - good. Another sign she’s into witchraft - she is trying to “reach you”.

Getting to work this morning, I spoke to one of the older woman at my work. She is very active in the catholic church and she comforted me and told me that what I saw was not “God” but something evil. We prayed together and talked more about it…I began to feel a bit better. Another teacher came in to talk to me…she held me close and prayed over me…my body for the first time felt warm and relaxed…while we were praying this woman called the school. She said that she needed to talk to me right away…that she could sense that I was crying and she was trying to “work on me” but she couldn’t unless I stopped doing what I was doing. What I was doing was praying. Fortunately, the person who answered the phone told her that I was busy and did not want to talk to her.

And further signs that she is a sorceress. It’s not funny, but her not being able to work on you because of your praying is classic. I love it. You see, prayers are SO powerful against evil. The spoken words of praising our Heavenly Father and the Lord Jesus Christ and appealing to angels is a ready defense. Since that seems to work for you and blocks her “work” that means you should continue to do this!

I just cannnot believe this happened…I know it doesn’t sound real…but it is! I am not making any of this up. I am feeling stronger and better now…but I just keep praying…anytime the thoughts of this woman come back to my mind I pray. It was even hard for me to write this because I was afraid of retelling the story of what she did and said to me. For almost 24 hours my stomach has been burning…I feel tired and worn out.
I’m so ashamed that I would let something like this get into me…I knew it was wrong. I am glad I have the support of people at work…but I’m still scared…I want to make sure this “person” does not try to get to me again.

Dear one, you’ve already admitted it was a mistake. Once confessed, drop it. Once you have absolution (if the priest sees that you need to be), then don’t let the Evil One make you feel guilty anymore for that. Christ is merciful.

Keep up your prayers and use the links that BeckyMarie has shared already about curses, hexes, etc. And by all means, pray, pray and then pray some more. Remember, you are a child of God. Don’t make the mistake of thinking the Evil One has the upper hand. He doesn’t. Your prayers will be effective in keeping her from you and from “working” on you - as evidenced by the earlier comment.

Peace…

Right on!

Suzpots,

I recommend the following steps:

1. Confession.
2. Prayer to take back ground from Satan.
3. Prayer to break curses.
4. Hedge Prayer for Protection of Self

See the St. Pio Center for Deliverance Counseling Help Page for more information.

As others have said here, you absolutely need to take this to Confession. What you describe may have been a mortal sin since it was a grave matter and you knew it was wrong, but did it anyway. Your consulting with the medium has opened you up to demonic harassment.

That is the bad news. The good news is that you can be restored to a state of sanctifying grace through confession, and Fr. Gabriele Amorth, exorcist of Rome explains that the confessional takes back more souls from Satan than exorcism takes back bodies.

Your biggest problem right now is not the possibility of demonic harassment. The bigger problem is that you may be separated from God due to mortal sin. It sounds like you are truly contrite; now just take it to the confessional where the sin can be dealt with.

I hope you will let us know how things are going. I will pray for you.

Wow, thank you BeckyMarie…those are some powerful prayers on that website! THank you so much for sharing those!

 

[Mystic_Warrior]

Yes, that is an excellent resource for deliverance prayers and general prayers. I especially like the Litany of the Precious Blood of Jesus. If there’s anything the Devil hates - it’s the blood of our Lord!

Peace…

It’s been a little while since I’ve been on here, but I wanted to say a few things.
First of all, congratulations. Thank God for saving you from this! Thank God for what He has done through you and for you. Anyone who reads this thread will leave it with a greater knowledge of the truth.
Second, whoever wrote the stuff about the markings of a witchdoctor, sorcerer, whatever you wrote (I can’t remember who all wrote it all), thank you so much for writing that. I wouldn’t have known all that without someone explaining that to me, and the majority of my generation is much like me.
Pray for my generation, the generation of today’s youth and young adults, because many of us are following the dark path of New Age and occult. We hunger for life, and many of us are deceived by New Age and occult empty promises.

Again, congratuations. Praise Jesus for what He has done and continues to do. With much love, Emily
