demonic obsession	Katie	Saturday, November 20, 2010
Question: Recently, I went by this abortion clinic and threw holy water on it to bless it. That night I had a strange dream where a pale vampiric man was talking about the merits of pornography. Even before this, I have had demonic dreams. A few days before, I dreamed that some guy was converting another guy and then all of the sudden some big beefy man pushed him into a room with a bunch of other people and shot them all. I have also had dreams of being in a church and meeting a strange person that told me that I was staying there too long, of receiving communion and having someone sit next to me and make strange chewing noises of the Host, and then in another dream I went to confession and met someone in the confessional who kicked the door closed. I read this is a symptom of demonic obsession. I also have OCD. I was wondering if this sounds demonic obsession or mentally related. I go to confession regularly, try to receive communion as much as possible and sometimes say prayers before going to sleep. I don't know if I should just continue on with I'm doing or talk to someone.
Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OMSM(r) Dear Katie: What you are describing is not demonic obsession. Do not try to diagnosis yourself. This does sound like demonic harassment. Doing things like sprinkling holy water on an abortion clinic can get you on the devil's radar. This can result in harassment. The devil, by harassing you with these dreams is trying to get you to back off, to stop doing what you are doing at the abortion clinic. Do not let the devil scare you off. You are doing a good thing by sprinkling holy water on the property of Planned Parenthood. I would suggest you avail yourself of some of the prayers in our Spiritual Warfare Prayer Catalog, linked below. I especially recommend the Hedge Prayer of Protection, the Bedtime Prayer of Protection, and the Rebuking Particular Spirits. With the last prayer, you can rebuke the "spirit of these dreams" or any other spirit, identified by its attributes (such as the spirit of anger, lust, fear, etc.). The fact that you are being attacked like this after doing what you did at Planned Parenthood means that you are doing the right thing. The devil doesn't like what you are doing, and that is good. But, do not allow the devil to dissuade you. Persevere through this attacks. Pray the Spiritual Warfare prayers for protection and keep doing what you are doing. I would also recommend going through the Seven Steps to Self-Deliverance, also linked below, as these steps can also be helpful here. But, from what you are describing, it sounds to me like a rather typical attack to try to get you to stop what you are doing. We will be in prayer for you and for the work you are doing at Planned Parenthood. God Bless, Bro. Ignatius Mary P.S. The Seven Steps to Self-Deliverance are being revised and expanded. I should have that finished later today, November 20th, or by tomorrow. For information on how to receive help see our Help page. We suggest that before contacting us directly for help you try the Seven Steps to Self-Deliverance. These self-help steps will often resolve the problem. Also our Spiritual Warfare Prayer Catalog contains many prayers that may be helpful. If needed you can ask for a Personal Consultation.

Dear Katie:

What you are describing is not demonic obsession. Do not try to diagnosis yourself.

This does sound like demonic harassment. Doing things like sprinkling holy water on an abortion clinic can get you on the devil's radar. This can result in harassment. The devil, by harassing you with these dreams is trying to get you to back off, to stop doing what you are doing at the abortion clinic. Do not let the devil scare you off.

We will be in prayer for you and for the work you are doing at Planned Parenthood.
