questions about deliverance Lily Sunday, February 25, 2018

Question:

I have been praying self deliverance prayers and sometimes a priest prays over me for anxiety and other things in the confessional. When he does this, the effects of the prayers are not instant, but rather it takes about 20-30 minutes for a peace to come over me.

At first this peace lasted a few days. Then the last time he prayed over me I felt peace for several weeks. Another priest was working with me on the phone but quit because when he prayed with me I did not feel "pain" nor peace until about 20-30 minutes later. A peace did come over me and it lasted for a few days until I said the self deliverance prayers he gave me. He said I should feel some kind of pain as the demonic spirits leave me. Well, 20 or so minutes later I did get a pain. It was like I had a black eye. My left eye started throbbing with pain and the skin felt bruised. The pain lasted about a half hour and dissipated.

When I said the self deliverance prayers in the following weeks, I did get a subtle pain around my right eye and sharp pinching pains around my body. I dismissed it thinking it was caused by sinus pressure. I have continued the self deliverance prayers and last week the pain I got in my right eye was no longer subtle. It came when I commanded the demons to leave and never return. I also felt a definite pain in my left clavicle bone.

Today I got a pain in my left calf and shin when I prayed the prayers.

1) Is it considered a sign of demonic oppression to get a pain when saying deliverance prayers?

2) Do all oppressed persons get a pain somewhere in their body?

3) Is it unusual for peace or the results of deliverance prayers to come 20-30 minutes after the deliverance prayers are finished? Am I just odd? Or is this a sign that nothing spiritual is going on? The priest who worked with me on the phone will no longer work with me as he thinks I am delusional, but I am seeing amazing results when I bind certain spirits. Thank you.

Dear Lily:

Sorry to hear about your troubles. There are no hard and fast rules on how demons will manifest in a person's life. Sometimes there are physical phenomena, sometimes not. The nature of physical phenomena can be as you described, or it can be something else. Any part of the body can be effected when there is physical phenomena.

It is not true that you must feel pain as demons leave. Again, what happens can be many things. Often demons leave without any physical effects at all. Effects of deliverance prayers rarely happen immediately. It can come on in a few minutes, like in your case, or it can take weeks or months. 

It is not possible to assess your situation unless I have more information. You are welcome to make an appointment for a one-time consultation. though from the sound of it you may want to submit a Help Request for formal counseling.

At the bottom of this page is a link for the consultation. The Help Request form is linked in the HELP section link below.

We will be praying for you.

God Bless,
Bro. Ignatius Mary

PS. Sorry for the delay. My father died and I am just now getting to this.
