why are they so powerful? | constance | Wednesday, March 4, 2009 |
Question: Hello, it happened 25 years ago. I was in a relationship with young man and everything was going on fine. We were in love and had no disputes at all. The problems start when he moved in his aunt's house in a village near town we went to university together. After having spent his first night there he came to me in terror. He said he had heard all night somebody calling out his name, and for once he responded. When he looked out he saw nobody. I loughed at him as everything seemed stupid and said he was halucinating and everything will eventually stop. Soon, I used to spend time there with him and nothing unusual happened. Whenever he was alone the thing reoccured.But he was the same, he loved me and was kind. At that time I wore a blessed crucifix on the chain.Soon the problems started: we found strange little sacks by the entrance and we wandered what it was, luckily we never touched them. Instead, we removed them with rod and burn them in the garden.Contents: hairs, threads,dirt.when burned something like melted lard came out. It was disgusting but we hadn't slightest idea what it was. Soon he completely changed: he was always hungry and ate a lot but lost weight, he became hostile to me, his eyes changed,I had nightmares but I used to go to church.I just had to be in church. After a while we broke up and he kept coming but I wouldn't have him back. After year I and my roommate remembered three strange women leaving the village almost every time we were leaving. They acted friendly contrary to all other people we met. It was a conservative region and people wouldn't approve of unmarried couple live together. But three women always talked to us friendly.There are several strange things about them I remembered: they were always in black with black lace hiding their hair, their age might have been:youngest 35, then 45, and the eldest 55. Then one evening while waiting for a bus, one approached me and said: I can smell fish, do you? The other two said: Oh yes, very much! I was so offended as I had washed and I smelled nice. The other odd thing happened on the bus. It was dark outside and all lights in the bus were on. The three were already sitting inside. As I got on the light fell upon the crucifix and it went shiny.The women went pale, one screamed to the other two: have you seen this? they were in terror. I was happy because I thought they were comunists. But,they would have ripped the cross off. The landlady I rented a room mentioned her friend living in that village, quite close to my boyfriend's house. She also said that her friend married there and originally was from a strange part of town known for people engaged in occult.The three ladies were visiting that house and when we arrived in town they would take the bus to that particular block.They all had strange dark complexion.When I finally split up my boyfriend said to me: "you can leave me but you will never find another man in your life" - and I never have! I am now 46

Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OLSM
Dear Constance: The devil has a type of power, which his disciples appeal to in their curses, spells, hexes, and such. But, the devil's power is limited. His power is limited because angels (he is a fallen angel) do not have all power, but only the power that is natural to their creation. Only God is omnipotent. The devil has additional limitations that God places upon him. While innocent people can be effected by curses and spells such effects are more unlikely the more a person is living a Godly life. When the effects of curses and spells do occur, there is deliverance available to the person. If you were having sex with this man without being married, you opened a door for the devil to get to you. If you play in the devil's sandbox you will get his sand in your shoes. I would recommend that you pray the Hedge Prayers of Protection and the Prayer to Break Spells and Curses in our Prayer Catalog linked below. But, you must do more than that. You need to live as a devout Christian as best you can, avoid sin, avoid the near occasion of sin, attend Church every Sunday, participate in the Sacraments frequently, and do not give the devil an opportunity in your life. God Bless,
