Actually, no, we should not study satan. How can we know his tactics and so forth? the bible tells us. And God tells us. The catholic church has A LOT about this subject, and the priests and exorcists knows a lot too about this, especially the exorcists that have podcasts and interviews, Radio Maria where you can call in or email, the exorcist files, Fr Carlos Martins, Fr Chad Rippberger, Msgnr Rosetti,
www.catholicexorcism.org Fr Dan Rehill you can find them all over youtube, just make sure it is not AI. All their knowledge and interviews etc are gold and filled with so much information. Should we not turn to these people and the bible first, before we study things that are far from God? I agree only if God has clearly showed you but the risk of getting contamination is big. SO I would not recommend it. And why. The Fathers mentioned all recommend getting close to God, go to church, read the bible, have a relationship with God, removing sin from your life. Live a holy life. (understood doing the best one can, not be sin free) learning what the bible says about spiritual warfare. when we do these things we will come to know. when Jesus is the only one we need, why should we go to the enemy?
It is Him that cover the evil darts of the enemy not our knowledge. when we stay close to him and do what he told us. through his word then we are covered, and in case of persecution continue and hold on to God. In the long run it is the only thing that will protect us.
Mary is fantastic by the way I have never recieved help that fast.
May Jesus fill us with his love and wisdom
I always think that I'm a guest here on this website, it is a Baptist website, and I purposefully don't push my Catholic thinking here. I mean what's the point even if I did.
But I wanted to point out something also with the names that you have posted, not all of them should be listened to.
If you ever listen to any podcasts from any religious person always ask the Lord bless you and shield you before you listen to it.
I've been doing spiritual work for over 40 years. You could say that I am fairly attuned to sensing spiritual things. And I can tell the positive and the negative pretty clearly whether it's text or a podcast or video or you can just talking to people or reading a letter I'm aware of this stuff.
I'm not saying that I know everything by the way. But I am attuned to it
With Rev. Carlos Martins and Rev. Chad Rippinger, I strongly urge you not to listen to the material unless you have asked the Lord to Shield you from it. Because both of them are corrupted.
I first noticed Rev. Chad's failure when he started talking about how much he Delights and tormenting the demons that he exercises from people.
You see the thing that he is not doing which is scriptural by the way, he's not respecting them as a being. It's one thing to do an exorcism and do the job. It's a whole another ball game when you're sitting there tormenting the spirit when they're already in torment. Even Jesus didn't do that nor did Michael the Archangel.
Also with Rev Chad, in his own podcast he brags about the fact that he has had a 3-hour conversation with a demon. In my personal opinion that is suicide. Because you have to remember a demon is a million times more intelligent than you are. And anytime you spend any length of time with the demon you better have that demon gagged. In the name of Jesus shut your mouth. That's what I tell those guys cuz I don't want to listen to him. Any kind of lengthy conversation with the Fallen spirit is not wise.
When it comes to Rev. Carlos, he is also doing something that's really bad. Whenever a person does any kind of conversation about such a thing as an exorcism they should always and I mean always give a blessing before they even start talking about it. I listened to the Exorcist files, and there's not one of them that has any kind of blessing at the beginning or end. And besides that he really gives really bad information of how to conduct an exorcism. As he does not talk about how when you have a team of people working that the very first thing that you need to do is ask the Lord to bless everyone. Because that protects the team from the darkness. If you don't do that then they get attacked plan and simple. And he even says in one of his podcasts how his team was attacked by the darkness.
There are a number of other things with Rev. Carlos that I was alarmed about listening to his podcast. Alarmed enough to write a letter to the Archbishop of Detroit. To which I got a response from and he stated that he would contact Reverend Carlos Martin and his Superior. And that they were to contact me and we would have a conversation about the podcast.
In the Catholic Church being obedient to the Archbishop is extremely important. And I never have received to this day any communication from either of them.
Other things that I was concerned about with Rev Carlos, never once did he talk about how the person needed to receive Jesus. Never once did he talk about how important forgiveness whether it is to forgive or to be forgiven is. And these things are things that need to be done it doesn't matter what church you are if you're doing a Deliverance or an exorcism these things have to be done.
