How do I know I am being called Tj M Monday, March 28, 2011

Question:

How do I know I am being called by Jesus to be a catholic demonologist and deliverence counceler. And do you know of any priests that can mentor me or have me as an apprentice



Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OMSM(r)

Dear Tj:

In the first instance we know someone is not called if they have a "let's go kick some demon butt" attitude. Such a "cowboy" attitude is dangerous and will eventually get either the person or his clients hurt.

The question to ask oneself is "why?" Why a deliverance apostolate? Deliverance work is dangerous and requires a person with knowledge, courage, emotional and spiritual maturity, a person not easily fooled or overly sensitive, is trained, and has a calling from God.

As it is with any training, one does not have to be 100% sure of a calling at the beginning. It is in the course of training that one discovers whether or not this apostolate is for them.

We have the most extensive training program in the world. Depending on the pace the student takes, the academics and clinical modules of our training takes up to three years, in addition to a one year Internship. Once graduated, the new Deliverance Counselor spends three years under supervision, in a manner similar to a Resident in the medical field.

Performing deliverance is a lot more entailed than knowing symptoms of demonization and prayers to pray over the client. Deliverance counseling requires knowledge in theology, angelology, demonology, apologetics, catecheteics, knowledge of occult, new age, and to other non-christian influences, some science and physics, some psychology and psychiatry, critical thinking skills, investigative methods, and much more.

If you are interested in becoming a Deliverance Counselor you can go to our Training Brochure for information and an application.

God Bless,
Bro. Ignatius Mary
