Do I need deliverance Gabby Saturday, June 13, 2009

Question:

I worried about the way I've been feeling for two years. I feel that when I go to mass, I'm scared to be there. I want to leave and run out the door before holy communion. I've always been a loving and kind person. I was born and raised a Catholic. I feel when a pastor is praying over me that I'm being attacked by him and when I'm trying to close my eyes and vision Jesus, I feel that Jesus is attacking me. I know this can't be. I love Jesus. Where are these thoughts coming from. I have this fear were I tremble, urinate constantly, and have disturbing thoughts. I have a spritual advisor and all we continue to do is pray. My fear has increased and I feel weak all the time. When I put the St. Benedict cruxifix on, it irriates me around my chest and neck. There is so much more to tell. I want peace, joy, love and happiness in my life



Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OLSM

Dear Gabby:

To make a determination about whether or not you need deliverance requires filling out a 45 page questionnaire and about 3-4 hours of interviews. There are many factors involved in making any determination.

One of the aspects that we consider is where the lines are draw between psychological, psychiatric, personality, and spiritual causes. Some of what you are describing could suggest a psychological or psychiatric issues. Yet, it could also be spiritual, or both. There is no way for me to tell in this context.

It is always good to be checked out by a doctor concerning these things. In the description you have given there are several physical phenomena. I would recommend you talk to a doctor about what you are experiencing. If the doctor can find nothing wrong, then that may be a better clue to a possible spiritual cause.

You may also avail yourself of the Seven Steps to Self-Deliverance and the Spiritual Warfare Prayer Catalog linked below.

If the medical and the self-help solutions do not give you any relief, then you might want to contact us for a Personal Consultation. The Help Request form is linked at the bottom of the HELP page. If the link is turned off, try again in a few days or weeks.

We will be praying for you.

God Bless,
Bro. Ignatius Mary
