We don't want to offend God	Elizabeth	Friday, June 5, 2009
Question: Dear Brother Ignatius, Thank you for your work in spiritual warfare and May God bless you abundantly! I wrote you months ago after my husband and I had a deliverance prayer prayed over us. Right after, my brother in law contacted my husband and apologized unconditionally for all the hurt he had done. Then he wanted to come from out of state and stay in our home. I was extremely uncomfortable with his insistance and wanted to see in time if he was sincere. You understood and agreed that this was okay to do. Well it's 8 months later and we've never heard back from him. My husbands mother cursed our marriage and 13 of our 14 years we felt like we were being tossed about with family turning on us, and many strange occurances coming at us over the years. Just a week ago my husbands other brother whom has stayed in contact with us (1 of 9 brothers and sisters) came to visit and stayed at a hotel. A week before he came to visit my husband had another spiritual attack, which hasn't happened since being delivered, and we started having strange occurances again. We both continued our daily rosary and our other prayers before his visit. Of course the second day he abrubtly came at us saying, "when are the two of you going to reconcile with mom". Brother Ignatius, we tried for years with his mother, in fact when we moved to her home town we sent her flowers and cards with our phone numbers and never heard from her. His mother likes to involve her sons and have them attack us with lies she has fed them. We had tried to tell them these things weren't true and they would call us the liars. As this particular brother was listening to us he smurked at us and kept rolling his eyes. This same brother ignored her for 20 years because of the problems she caused in his marriage and he even said he knew their mother "hated" 2 of the ex- daughter-in-laws and still hates them. In fact, he seemed cavalier about the fact their mother hating them, it actually was frightening, because hate is malice at it's best, and it's 2 marriages and families destroyed. My husband said these problems have existed for years before I came along and that he no longer wants any part of this craziness. Any spiritual advice and prayers are welcomed. We don't want to offend God in any way but we also don't want to keep opening a door to people who want to harm us. God bless you
Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OLSM Dear Elizabeth: Well, the family seems to be dysfunctional to say the least. But, more than that it appears from your narrative that the mother and others in the family are harming you and your husband spiritually. Perhaps it is time to wash y'alls hands of the family. Have no more to do with them. Pray for them, but cease allowing them to abuse you and your husband. Once the is some distance between your husband's mother and family and yourselves, the prayers to renounce ancestral sins (of the mother, for example), the breaking of spells and curses, the household hedge prayers of protection, etc. may have more impact and lasting effect since you will be out of the situation. You know, as the old saying goes, it is hard to get clean when you're sitting in a mud puddle. Once has to get out of the mud puddle before washing up will have any real effect. We will be praying for you and your husband, and for all the family. God Bless, Bro. Ignatius Mary For information on how to receive help see our Help page.

Question:

Dear Brother Ignatius,

Thank you for your work in spiritual warfare and May God bless you abundantly!

I wrote you months ago after my husband and I had a deliverance prayer prayed over us. Right after, my brother in law contacted my husband and apologized unconditionally for all the hurt he had done. Then he wanted to come from out of state and stay in our home. I was extremely uncomfortable with his insistance and wanted to see in time if he was sincere. You understood and agreed that this was okay to do.

Well it's 8 months later and we've never heard back from him. My husbands mother cursed our marriage and 13 of our 14 years we felt like we were being tossed about with family turning on us, and many strange occurances coming at us over the years. Just a week ago my husbands other brother whom has stayed in contact with us (1 of 9 brothers and sisters) came to visit and stayed at a hotel.

A week before he came to visit my husband had another spiritual attack, which hasn't happened since being delivered, and we started having strange occurances again. We both continued our daily rosary and our other prayers before his visit. Of course the second day he abrubtly came at us saying, "when are the two of you going to reconcile with mom".

Brother Ignatius, we tried for years with his mother, in fact when we moved to her home town we sent her flowers and cards with our phone numbers and never heard from her. His mother likes to involve her sons and have them attack us with lies she has fed them. We had tried to tell them these things weren't true and they would call us the liars.

God bless you
