SHORT COMMUNICATION 53.
A Very Dangerous Undertaking
By
Roger Behra
When a person's (man, woman, child) behavior changes and is marked as dramatic, such as strange physical behavior, obvious mental aberrations as a daily pattern, clear distaste to all signs, symbols, mention and sight of religious people, places, objects, and ceremonies, an investigation into that person's life to determine the reason is in order. When medical or psychiatric treatment fails to pinpoint or help the person, the investigation can and is usually referred to a priest to determine if an exorcism is the next step. And, frankly, that is usually the next step. The presence of an evil spirit is possessing the person. A priest exorcist is, therefore, badly needed. And that leads to a very dangerous undertaking, indeed. An exorcism is extremely serious and dangerous. And there is a definite effect in the life of the possessed and the priest exorcist. One effect is positive, and one effect is negative to a degree. The possessed is demon free, but the priest's life is depressingly effected for life. What went on during the exorcism never leaves his mind.
The possessed person is brought to the attention of Catholic Church authorities, usually by family or friends, after it has been determined that the person cannot be helped otherwise. Rarely does a demonically possessed person voluntarily present himself/herself. (More women than men become demonically possessed). After church authorities deem an exorcism is needed, a Bishop selects and authorizes a priest exorcist. lt takes a special type of priestly makeup to be successful exorcist.
Many people are demonically afflicted (not possessed) because their lifestyle opens wide the door for evil results. That is another story, but it can lead imperfect possession and does in many cases. An imperfectly possessed person is not involuntarily taken over by Satan or one of his demon helpers, a lessor demon. A voluntary agreement has to be made Satan for a desired and stated outcome, a wish to be fullfilled-money, sex, a certain woman or man, job, etc. And once a deal is made, Satan keeps his end of the bargin, and there is no turning back. The person becomes possessed. In the cases of perfect possession one sells his soul to Satan, he takes over, and gradually over a long period of time, Satan delivers. No exorcism can later help. lt is a done deal, and when the person dies, Satan owns the soul. In cases of imperfect possession, which has increased seven to eight fold since 1970, very few exorcisms can be done nowadays. And if a person needs an exorcism, but dies beforehand, Satan owns the soul. Therefore, one has to be extremely careful how the person lives life.
In the case an exorcism is needed and planned, there are three central and very necessary figures involved: the possessed person, the priest exorcist, and the evil spirit(s). (In very, very rare cases more than one evil spirit possesses one person). There are non-central persons who are present at an exorcism who prepares the room and are available in case the priest needs assistance. The exorcism is a very serious and dangerous situation (for the priest), and sometimes for others present, when the evil spirit hurls objects that are closeby. A properly prepared room takes that into account most of the time. The exorcism itself can take only a few hours, or it can take a matter of weeks in some cases. At an exorcism there is a winner and a loser. The possessed person is the winner. The evil spirit is the loser. Most all exorcisms are, sooner or later, successful. A few are not. If the possessed person is not truly desirous and truly gives consent to be free of the evil spirit, the exorcism ends in failure.
An exorcism is truly a very serious undertaking for the priest exorcist. (His assistants are most always not in any danger). The priest must follow the authorized procedure very carefully with no deviations. The priest's life can be exposed to all present. The extreme hate, venom, wildly and disgusting and obscene speech is aimed at the priest. The evil spirit does not want to be giving up the possessed person, because it will have to find another person to possess, which in today's cultures is earier to do it seems. The priest has to be always very careful in the words he uses and how and when he uses them. The evil spirit is very, very cunning, never misses an oportunity to trap or harm the priest. The priest has to be perfectly trained to avoid that ever happening. The exorcism has to be very well planned, organized, and perfectly administered, or failure is the result.
After the exorcism is completed (that can take a short or long time) the once possessed person is completely free of the evil spirit and to once again lead a normal life provided he/she avoids evil activities. But that is not the case for the exorcist. An exorcisms exacts a mental, emotional, and physical toll that can last a long time, even years. The exorcist's life is never the same as it once was. lt is a very sad result for one person after a very successful and happy result for another person.
After note:
More women than men become demonically afflicted, or demonically possessed for that matter, because of the fact women put themselves in more dangerous and evil positions, such as prostitution, witchcraft, covens, using ouigi boards, etc. Women are more likely to make a deal with Satan. If any readers of this communication thinks, feels, or knows that they are demonically afflicted because of what is happening in their lives after they have made evil decisions, they can do certain things. Firstly, they have to truly and quickly decide to change the order of their lives. Secondly, they have to express sorrow for their evil way(s). Thirdly, they have to pray and ask Jesus to hide them in the wounds of His crucifixion. If the affected one is Catholic, seek the help of a Catholic priest, who will be more than happy to offer his help. Non-Catholics can do the same if they wish. Many times after a person becomes demonically afflicted or imperfectly possessed, they regret very much their decision and behavior that has led to their situation and the only solution to their problem is to receive outside help. lt is so crucial. Please, God, lead them to outdid help while there is still time left in their lives to do so. Their earthly existence and eternity, later, depends on it.
