Exorcism - a Christian Manual
“The memory of how we do these things is in the unconscious and we don’t need to make these memories conscious in order to successfully do them. We can have 2 opposing thoughts at the same time. In an earlier discussion you can have a client say at the conscious level that he wants to be free of a perverse sexual sin, but deep down he really don’t want it to go away. The deepest desire will always win and you must detect if there is a split in their motives.2. Some use exorcisms as a qui...ck fix when they feel bad or are in a bad situation. Some want to blame all of their problems on a demon. They come to an exorcism hoping to get rid of the demon and everything will be just fine. They also believe at some level that they can pretty much go back to the way things were and if they feel bad they can just get another exorcism. God does not honor this approach and the client will deteriorate as the exorcisms become ineffective. I did see a woman like this that had a horrible past. She was sexually abused as a child and grew up angry and violent. She was in and out of group homes and juvenile detention, and eventually ended up as a drug addict and a prostitute. In one of her incarcerations she got saved and started to turn her life around. When she got out of prison she got a job, got married, and had several children. However, she never received counseling or an exorcism and when under stress she would disappear for several days. It was later found out that she was on the street doing drugs but her family had no idea. After several disappearances her pastor decided that she needed an exorcism. She went through one and immediately felt better. Things went along fine for a while, but new stressors hit (her child needed surgery and she got fired from her job) and she disappeared again. This time someone saw her on the street and her husband and pastor went and got her. She went through another exorcism and felt better. However, after more stresses she disappeared again. When she came in to see me she asked if she could go through an exorcism rather than counseling. When I asked her why, she stated that counseling took too long and exorcisms are faster and she feels better right after. This is not how to approach an exorcism.3. There are some who will not confess all of their sins. The client may either be embarrassed by the sin and not want to confess it or he might not believe that the sin is really a sin. If they won’t acknowledge that the sin is wrong then they cannot be forgiven and set free. It is important to be as open and non-judgmental as possible. The client must feel safe in confessing their sins and that you will maintain absolute confidentiality. In addition, the exorcist must be able to confront the clients’ concept of sin if it does not line up with the Word of God. One woman visited a white witch (one that casts good spells to help people) once a week and refused to stop seeing the witch as she saw her as someone that was saving her life. In fact, the witch referred her for the exorcism. The client was having other problems and that was what she wanted to focus on. After several attempts to point out that God forbids seeing a witch and He sees it as sin, I terminated the exorcism process because I knew it would not be successful because she would not stop seeing her. 4. Some really don’t believe that the exorcism will work. For many, they simply are afraid of satan and believe that he is too strong to defeat. These clients typically have seen evil at work through witchcraft or they were abused as children by those that practiced the black arts. They have felt powerless and have seen evil win or they were led to believe that evil can’t be defeated. Many will listen to demons telling them that the exorcism will not work and they believe it. Another type of person believes that God doesn’t love them enough to deliver them. They will not have enough faith to see the exorcism through because they listen to what the demons tell them that God does not love them.5. Some will use the exorcism to test God. Believe it or not, some people have lied, hidden things, or entered an exorcism with a skeptical attitude. They try to hide things on purpose to see whether the exorcism team will find the hidden thing as a test on their spiritual alertness. They may be testing the skill of the team, but they may also be testing God to see if He will reveal the hidden thing to help set them free. They believe that if God really cared He would expose the hidden sin or issue. It is very dangerous to test God and we have no right to do so. For example, when Ananias and Sapphira sold some property they gave some to the apostles but kept some money hidden to themselves. Peter then confronted them and said…”’Ananias, how is it that satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land?MoreLess
