A few days ago my priest was talking about dark spirits. He taught us about demons, about how they’re trying to bring us down and keep us away from the Lord, and shared a few stories about people who got possessed and how they had to get treated by an exorcist. He told us about some tape on youtube that shows a missing teen named John Kirk. I watched it and now I can’t stop thinking about it and wondering how can one prevent that sort of situation. You can find the tape on youtube under-
The Tape of John Kirk
 
Trust in God.
Pray the Rosary.
Trust in God
Pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet
Trust in God.
Repeat…

Peace

What thoughts exactly? Worries that you might become possessed?

Ill watch the video while you answer.
 
That movie is clearly fake, like an even cheaper version of the Blair Witch Project. Worried about demons? Stay away from ouija boards, and people who engage in “magic” and clairvoyance(psychics, mediums etc). Some people claim that they only practice “white magic” but remember that all forms of divination and witchcraft are forbidden and open doors for demons.
 
Hi 🙂

Trust in the Lord…Pray the Rosary and divine Mercy…Pray to St Joseph and St Michael … The Chaplet of St Michael is great!! and there are booklets of devotion to St MIchael… he is my hero 🙂 Carry Holy Water and sacramentals about you always… Remember The Rosary and prayers are your weapons and they are powerful… but you need armour too… Wear the Armour of the Holy Spirit and you will be protected and able to combat all bad thoughts 🙂

Well, Justin, I watched the video. Yeas, there are some creepy parts. I think its contrived, though. We don’t know if this fellow is really missing or what, for one. It might be a hoax. Why would all the creepy things happen when he is not in view? All of these thing could have been done by him or someone else. Anyway, he is not possessed. If the video is not a hoax, the worst this would be is a haunting. Scary, yes, but he would not be in physical danger.

Remember, demons are like chained dogs. They may bark and howl, but they are chained. They can’t get us. They have been defeated. They can only tempt us

usually. There are extraordinary demonic activities, but you have to open the door for that to occur. God would not allow your fear and worry to be that door. It is a temptation of the devil to think so, or to think he can somehow get by your powerful guardian angel who guards you every second.

When thee thought enter your mind, say a Hail Mary, or just say Mary help me!
 
In order to avoid being possessed obsessed or oppressed by demons, avoid anything of the occult. Also, remain in a state of Grace and wear a Rosary and or Brown Scalpular around your neck. Ordinarily staying away from all things occult is enough to almost guarantee that you won’t be possessed, obsessed or oppressed by demons, but sometimes those things happen because of a curse. (Also, of course, it’s best to always remain in Grace…as hard as that can be…)
 
Thanks a lot guys!
By the way, I didn’t say that i’m sure it’s a real tape, but because of watching it and talking about it… I don’t know… I just got scared of the unknown and not having control over it…
 
God is much more powerful. Pray to Saint Michael for some additional help.

Remember, it is only the evil one that wants you to become unstable and frightened.

I found this website recently and like it a lot - catholicwarriors.com/default.htm

I understand in a personal manner how consuming thoughts of possession can become. It can seem, in its own way, like possession or at least demonic oppression. But, I can also speak from a personal point of view here and remind you: Our God is so much stronger than any evil that is out there. Trust in Him fully, and you will be protected.

As for the thoughts, here is what I did. Whenever I had the thoughts like you are having, I made myself visualize the image of Divine Mercy. Google it if you are uncertain. It is Christ with the blood and water from his side–amazing. It helped me every time.

👍

This is a very common thing. We all like to feel that we have “control”, but that can ever only be true to a point. That is why it is so important to put your trust in God, focus on Love - (Mt 22:36-40) and move forward in Charity and Faith.

Peace

I watched the video.

I find it interesting that everything seems to happen in view of the camera. I didnt notice any poltergeist footage that was too much out of range for the camera not to capture.I couldnt find any news reports for missing teen (doesnt mean I didnt miss it) I suspect a hoax

When the video becomes viral check on Snopes.com
 
Thank you all I feel much better thanks to your patient and support! God bless you 🙂

Well, I would be cautious about such things, even coming from a priest, who may not have received training in demonic possession.

First of all, demonic possession just doesn’t happen automatically, but instead it’s a process.

The demon works on the individual over a period of time, and the goal is to have the person surrender their will to the demon. Our free will is the greatest gift God has given us, and it should never be surrendered to any spirit.

A person who is centered in Christ Jesus, should have no fear of such a thing, because Satan has no power over Jesus and as long as you are centered in him, he dwells within you.

A good book which explains demonic possession is "Hostage to the Devil, " by Malachi Martin. It’s a book on five documented cases of demonic possession, in the United States.

The first part of the book, the author explains demonic possession and how it happens.

In all, have no fear and be centered in Christ and pray.

but how do you put the bad thoughts aside?

The devil is weak. The only power he has is the power God gives him. He can’t look in your direction without God’s permission. And he can’t possess you without your permission. You are more powerful than satan. He has a big bark and uses smoke & mirrors to make you think he has some control. Reality is.he is nothing but a worm. Put him out of your head. He has no power over you.

Triumph & peace come from knowing that YOU are the one with the power.
 
One more thing: when I get scared of things I have seen in movies or I think of the devil, I say, “Mary, Jesus and Joseph” or recite the Divine Praises over and over. Sometimes I do it out loud! Its ok to get creeped out. Just find your way to fight it and know that Mary terrifies the devil. But you are her beloved son!
