Oppression Testimony and Questions Lindsay Monday, October 10, 2016

Question:

My boyfriend moved in with me into a studio apartment in February 2014. I was not regularly attending mass and did not have a prayer life even though I was born into a Catholic family, was baptized and received my first communion. I had not attended confession since I was in middle school.

In April of 2015, it seemed like I ran into one misfortune after the other. I had terrible stomach aches and pressure on my neck that doctor's could not explain. I also got pneumonia in August 2015 so suddenly doctor's could not explain how. I also could not recover from fatigue and seemed to make no progress with my health, the stomach issues and neck pains continued.

In February 2016, I was laid off from my job, would try to interview with other positions and other companies and no one would respond to my resume or emails.

In March 2016, my mother prayed to have God explain why I could not get any calls had a dream of two witches. I investigated my boyfriend's mother and discovered she was into witchcraft practices such as tarot cards, enneagram, birthday altars, solstice rituals (lighting candles in the dark and making wishes), numerology, astrology, and a black Virgin Mary. She also signed a petition for a witch who's interests are demons.

I attended my first mass in years on Easter 2016. In April, I started going to mass daily and in May I started going to confession at least once a month. My mother also sent me a Mount Caramel and Green Scapular to wear. I also started saying the rosary daily and said a simple prayer to Saint Michael.

In June, my apartment complex asked me to renew the lease or double the rent for a month to month basis so I prayed to God what I should do and for the first time in months, I got an inquiry regarding employment. I took this as a sign from God to resign my lease. On the night of the summer solstice, my mother and I were attacked by Satan at the exact same time around 3am even though we were nowhere near each other. I saw an eye that glowed rainbow colors and she said she felt like someone grabbed her by the hair and neck. We said many rosaries and Hail Marys.

In July, I asked my local parish priest for prayers since I landed an interview with the company and he did a blessing. For a month, I fasted for breakfast and prayed anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours in front of the blessed sacrament at my parish. I also had a dream where his mother came into the apartment uninvited, sent an email on her way out, and when she departed, there was an explosion in the distance where she was. My mother had a dream about a middle finger covered in blood. Later that month, a week after my interview, my boyfriend received a box in the mail. I was terrified to be around the box. My mother and I prayed to Our Lady and Saint Michael for hours to destroy any evil forces in the box. My boyfriend later opened the box and it had a postcard of a natural monument, my first thought was it looked like a red middle finger even though I was not consciously thinking of my mom's dream when I saw the postcard.

On August 16th, my boyfriend's grandmother died. Immediately, companies were contacting me about employment again. While I have still not found a job today, I am speaking to a few companies about various positions and have had a few interviews.

In September, I had a dream about her trying to curse me and I called out to Our Lady and Saint Michael. She disappeared and in her place were four pictures of the Lady of Guadalupe. Later that month, my boyfriend brought home four objects belonging to his dead grandmother. My mother also had a dream of a witch she never seen attacking her, she put the scapular on the witch and it burned her. I looked up the witch that his mother supported and it seemed like it was the same person.

On the last week of September, I visited a parish a few towns away and the priests there told me that living with my boyfriend, even if we were not having intercourse before marriage was considered a mortal sin. I stopped having intercourse before marriage when I went back to Confession in May. She also sent me a birthday card and I sprinkled salt and threw it in the trash. I cannot burn it in my apartment and cannot burn it nearby.

In October, I told my boyfriend he needed to find his own place and he has signed a lease for his own apartment and will be moving out. The day he signed his lease, I saw a grey cloud, I could not tell if I was awake or asleep, the second I realized it was evil, the Lady of Guadalupe appeared and it disappeared. That same night, I also smelled burnt incense in the house, but my boyfriend could not smell it.

I am continuing to go to daily mass, praying the rosary daily, and attending regular confession. My boyfriend is a good person, he respects my beliefs, helped pay for my food for six months while unemployed, but he is not baptized and he does not believe in God (agnostic.) His dad used to be Protestant, but does not practice the faith and did not pass it onto his son in any way.

Normally, I would leave this person due to the trouble they brought upon me, but my boyfriend is a really good person. He respects my desire to go to Church, bless the house, say the rosary. When I had pneumonia and could not move, he helped me get to work for months and prepared my meals for months. When I lost my job, he paid for all my food for six months. When I told him I needed him to move out due to my faith, he respected that choice. He has personality qualities that I strive to have, he treats other people so well and is considerate. The only downside is he seems resistant to knowing Christ himself, but I believe this has to do with his mother and perhaps the demons that carry out her spells.

Questions

1. Is there any chance of this relationship working even though my boyfriend's mother is a witch? For example, if I continue to go to mass often, say my rosary, wear my scapular, spray holy water in the apartment, will I be protected?

2. Can I get an oppression by visiting my boyfriend's new apartment? Can I get an oppression by having him visit my apartment after he moves out? Can I get an oppression by meeting him for dinner or lunch? Is he an open door to oppression because of his mother's practices and his disbelief in God?

3. Can I get another oppression or curse by eating lunch or being in the presence of his mother? What if his mother finds a hair of mine on of her son's belongings, can she still curse me even if I stay in a state of grace?

4. My boyfriend is still in the process of moving out, should I be worried about anything he brings back with him from his mother? I have no control over this while he is moving out.



Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OMSM(r), CCL, LTh, DD, LNDC

Dear Lindsay:

Thank you for your testimony. You are going in the right direction, but there is more that needs to be done. As for your questions:

Question 1: It is never wise to have a relationship or marriage with a non-Catholic. Only a good Catholic man can truly make your home a Catholic home, lead by a spiritually mature Catholic man, and thereby all the protections benefits the Church can offer you. 

In this case, you are asking for a world of problems that may last for decades because his mother is a witch. Especially if your boyfriend does not believe in God, a relationship with him is asking for trouble that you do not want, and can harm children when they come.

Question 2: It is possible for you to gain a demonic attachment (not likely oppression) from the boyfriend's mother. Demons could be hanging around him and his apartment because of the mother. This is more likely since he is an atheist. Given the circumstances you describe, I would not want to be around your boyfriend at all. Having sex with him is asking for demons to come into your life.

Question 3: Since the mother is a witch she may attempt a curse or spell at any time. You should never allow her into your home, nor should you ever go to her home. Never accept gifts or food from her. Do not allow her the opportunity to obtain your hair. I would be sure to wash any clothing of your boyfriend to eliminate any of your hair that may be on the clothes.

But, keep in mind that God is more powerful than any curse or spell. Most curses and spells fail and oftentimes boomerang back on the spell-caster. Nevertheless I would advise you prayer periodically the Breaking Personal Curses and Spells. Also the Hedge Prayer for Protection of Self.

Question 4: After your boyfriend has moved out, check everything and destroy any items that you think may be contaminated by his mother. Destroy all books, games, video games, moves, occult or new age paraphernalia. We have a document on how to do this: Procedure to Destroy Occultic or Cursed Objects.

Once your apartment is clean of any suspicious items and all materials of an occult and new age theme, then ask your priest to come and bless the apartment.

Lindsay, you really need to break it off with this man. This is only going to be a world of hurt that may damage your faith. Should you get married to this man, it will be even worse as you will have that marital bond with him and his family. Any children that come along will always be at a deficit because their father is not Catholic, and worse, an atheist. Plus, the witchcraft in the family will effect the children.

I know it is hard, but I think you ought to break it off with this guy, before it is too late. Instead, find a good Catholic man who can love you as Christ loves the Church, and who can sanctify your marriage and your family.

We will be praying for you.

God Bless,
Bro. Ignatius Mary
