have I a problem	Marie	Friday, March 7, 2008
Question: for about 5 years I have been very ill and have a lot of pain. I went to a deliverance person recently and was not too impressed by experience. I am very irritable the pain leaves me feeling very raw and I could be wrong. This man with his wife were praying over me and he was speaking in tongues - there was something very gutteral in his tone when he spoke in tongues and I found him a very domineering man. I am desperate to get relief I find like so hard. Should I listen to my gut feeling and not go to this man again or should I think I am making rash judgements about him?
Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OLSM Dear Marie: If this person is not Catholic you should not go to them. Even if they are Catholic I would not advise going to a person who lays hands on you and speaks in tongues anyway. You do not say, but how did this man discern that you need deliverance? If he just started praying over you without any effort to discern whether or not your problem is medical or demonic then he is incompetent. For that matter, how do you know that you need deliverance? Now I am presuming you went to him for deliverance since this is a Spiritual Warfare Question and Answer forum. I guess I shouldn't make that presumption. Maybe this person claims to be a healer and you went to him for healing, not deliverance. Even so, the advise is similar. Be very careful about people laying hands on you and praying in tongues (or praying in tongues and not laying hands upon you). The problem is that neither you or they have any idea what is being said in "tongues." There is no reason for a "healer" or a deliverance counselor to pray in tongues. Actually there is no real need for anyone to pray in tongues. Bottomline: if you feel uncomfortable with this man, then do not do back to him. God Bless, Bro.

Question:

for about 5 years I have been very ill and have a lot of pain. I went to a deliverance person recently and was not too impressed by experience. I am very irritable the pain leaves me feeling very raw and I could be wrong.

This man with his wife were praying over me and he was speaking in tongues - there was something very gutteral in his tone when he spoke in tongues and I found him a very domineering man. I am desperate to get relief I find like so hard.

Should I listen to my gut feeling and not go to this man again or should I think I am making rash judgements about him?
