Did I really sell my soul to the devil? | DWB | Friday, August 5, 2011 |
Question: All of my life I have been Christian, and throughout the years attended church off and on. I was bapetised at age 12. At age 13 I developed a pornography addiction, and masturbating addiction. Still to this day. Around may sometime I was masturbating when a thought came into my head I dont exactly remember how it went but it was something about "What if I sell my soul to the devil for an amazing orgasm." I bevame afraid by my thought, but I kept masturbating and I had the best orgasm of my life. That night I became afraid praying for forgiveness, and since then have contineously praying. Since then more thoughts like that have came into my head. Especially lately. I've even had a few nightmares lately of being posessed. Did I really sell my soul to the devil??? I am sorry and regret what I did. But now due to my remorse and regret I fill the devil attacking me. I really don't mean to sound crazy, please help me. |

Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OMSM(r)
Dear DWB: You did not "sell" your soul, but you certainly invited the devil to come into your life. You need to ask God for forgiveness, which you state you have done. But, you also need to renounce the devil. A good way to do that is what is called Renewing Baptismal Promises:
In our Spiritual Warfare Catalog linked below, we have many prayers, including a Hedge Prayer for Protection of Self, Prayer To Control Thoughts, Rebuking Particular Spirits, and Breaking Personal Curses and Spells. Since you are not Catholic, if you feel uncomfortable with phrases in these prayer that are particular Catholic, you can omit them. The Hedge prayer is to protect you generally. The Rebuking prayer is to rebuke particular demons that may attack you, such as the spirit of lust, masturbation, anger, etc. Identify the spirits by their attribute. The Breaking Curses prayer I would advise because in a sense you have cursed yourself. In this regard you should also pray, Renunciation Of Satan and Claiming the Full Victory. We will include you in the prayers of our Prayer Warrior Team and add you to the list of the Proxy Deliverance prayers our team does each month. God Bless,
