Should I do the Seven Steps to Self-Deliverance Crystal Wednesday, July 4, 2012

Question:

Dear Brother,

I am so grateful for this site and I appreciated the prayers you have suggested for me in regards to previous post I've submitted.

I want to do the Seven Steps to Self-Deliverance, as I use to have acquaintances with individuals whom were into Santeria. I never participated in any Santeria rituals, but the most I've done was buy candles for good luck or money and anoited them with certain oils. Even though I've done prayers from this site and I'm a Christian today and feel a lot better; I still feel at times that there are certain entities holding me back and want to know should I do this deliverance method.

For example, when I did associate with individuals whom believed in Santeria, I had broken several acquaintances as I wanted to live a righteous life in Christ. There was a male acquaintance who liked me and wanted to have a relationship, but I was not interested and it seems like ever since I rejected him; I've developed illness, financial problems, weight loss and other misfortunes. Therefore, I feel he may have placed a curse or some other negativity is around me.

With the Seven Steps to Self-Deliverance, I'm confused in regards to writing down your sins for the Renunciation Ritual. As it states to write down your sins and burn the paper. But for the Performance Ritual, it states to sprinkle holy water on the paper and than burn it. Do you have to write 2 separate papers to be burned for each ritual or do you burn the paper with your sins for the Renunciation Ritual and than sprinkle it with holy water?

Also to Renounce and Reclaim Ground for Non-Christian Activities, it suggest you make 2 list. With those 2 list, are they suppose to be burnt as well after the prayers are recited and with the Prayer Signatures; do you keep them in a safe place?

If you can tell me how to perform the Seven Steps to Self-Deliverance I would really appreciate it, as I want to do it correctly.

Thank you so much Brother for all of your help and you are in my prayers!

God Bless,
Crystal

Dear Crystal:

I praise God that you are moving away from these evil things and getting closer to God.

As to the Seven Steps, just follow the directions. They are self-explanatory. This not a magical formula where if you do not do it perfectly it will not work. That sort of idea belong to the occult. Just go through the Steps and read the information and follow the directions.

There is no "Performance Ritual". I think you are referring to the section of the Ritual called "Performing the Ritual". That is spot where the Ritual begins (after the Renewal of Baptismal Promises, There is no second ritual.

The Renounce and Reclaim Ground requires you make the stated lists. The directions does not call for burning them, so you do not burn them (unless you just want to). Those lists can be thrown away in the normal manner after doing the exercise.

The Prayer Signatures you should keep, along with all other material provided to you in the Seven Steps. It is good to review all the material at least once every six months.

I have just added a new item to the Seven Steps. In Step 6 I have added an audio presentation of Fr. Machado praying a deliverance/exorcism prayer according to his priestly ministry. When anyone listens to Fr. Machado pray this prayer the effect and graces of the prayer applies to the listener as if he was standing in front of Fr. Machado.

If you need a personal consultation with one of our counselors to help you through the Steps, that can be arranged.

God Bless,
Bro. Ignatius Mary
