Question: One night and a few days leading up to my children’s baptism in the Catholic church, I was suddenly stricken with a horrific bout of depression. I absolutely hated myself and I was much sadder than usual about all of the issues taking place in my life, and wanted to hurt myself. Confident that I wouldn’t kill myself, the enemy encouraged me to do the next best thing to physically hurt me, and that was to cut off my hair. I have never felt or been at a more deplorable state in my ENTIRE life then I was that night. I felt useless and worthless and worst of all I hated me. I remember, I walked to our bathroom and stared in the mirror for about five minutes just crying hysterically. I could feel the enemy all around. A voice was telling me to cut my hair over and over and over again. And that’s when it happened, I said “Yes.” At the moment I said yes, and started to cut my hair, an evil force took over my body. The force was cutting my hair VIGOROUSLY using my body and I had no control. My despair turned to fear, and I started to scream hysterically and ran in the room to wake my husband. After my husband woke and saw what I’d done, he talked to me and held me for about 20 minutes and calmed me down enough to where I could lay down on the bed. But the enemy wasn’t quite finished with us. As I lay there in the bed, I got a vision in my head that an upside down cross was hovering over my son’s bed. Just when I started to get up and bring him in our room, my son burst in the room hysterical saying a little boy with a sword was in his room trying to hurt him. For me that was confirmation that we were truly under demonic attack. I still wonder why it happened. Did I open up a demonic door from regularly watching a psychic/medium talk show, doing yoga, or was it because my children in a few days would be baptized and the enemy wasn’t happy about that? One lesson I learned from the experience is no matter how low you feel even if you're on the brink of despair, you still have control over your own will, not the enemy. Therefore, NEVER say YES to hurting yourself…I realize that each time we sin we say yes to the enemy, and for that I’m always asking for God’s mercy and forgiveness. Any thoughts you have Brother please share. God bless.
Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OLSM Dear Faye: Sorry for the delay in responding. Your statement, "no matter how low you feel even if you're on the brink of despair, you still have control over your own will, not the enemy", is exactly correct. I praise God that you realize this. As for the entire episode, we can get on Satan's radar anytime we do something that brings us closer to God. Your children being baptized can attract possible attacks. But, the real cause of these attacks is your involvement and attraction to things occultic and new age. Your attraction to that TV show and the Yoga does open doors whereby demons can gain access to you and your family. You need to confess those involvements and attractions and prayer the Prayer to Re-claim Ground found in our Prayer Catalog. In addition, pray the Hedge prayers of protection and also the Rebuking Particular Spirits whenever you are bothered or harassed. A blessing of your house is prudent to do as well. We have a longer version of the House Blessing in our Catalog. Since you had opened the door, the demons essentially had you in their clutches. That is why harassment became so intense leading up to the baptisms. They demons were hoping to scare you away from baptizing your children. If you play in Satan's playground you will get Satan's sand in your shoe. Re-dedicate yourself and your family to God. Make a Family Consecration. Live the best Catholic life you can, and avail yourself of spiritual warfare prayers whenever needed. God Bless, Bro. Ignatius Mary For information on how to receive help see our Help page.
