prayers for rebuking spirits	Ivonne	Thursday, October 16, 2008
Question: Dear Brother: Thank you for your website and for all that you do. I have a question regarding the various prayers for rebuking spirits. When these prayers mention the spirits, they often seem to say "the spirit of _____," as in a particular trait (anger, lust, etc.) But what if the spirit bothering you does not have that sort of "name," but rather a more bizarre and freaky name, more like a personal name? (It's name entered my head one night after a really scary experience. It is a name I had never heard before and was actually difficult to pronounce, but when I typed it into google the next day, I found that it was the name of a spirit.) Thank you so much.
Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OLSM Dear Ivonne: All demons, even if we know their name, operate with some trait such as anger, lust, etc. The danger in relying on this name you heard in your mind is that you have no idea if this is the real name of the demon. Demons lie. And, it would be common for a demon to tell you a name that is a lie so that when you rebuke it will not be him you are rebuking. I would continue to call the demons by their traits. If you want you could say something like, "the demon who calls himself ______, or whatever his name may be, but that is certainly the spirit of _____" God Bless, Bro.
