Walking in the Dark with Faith

I have spoken much about Fr. Chad Ripperger’s book, “Deliverance Prayers for Use by the Laity”; in the back of his book, there are three appendices, one of which deals with the very lengthy list of vices/sins/spirits that humans have dealt with since the Fall of Man in the Garden of Eden.

SIN is a very real part of the human life, but most ignore it, don’t believe in it, or if they do state they believe in the Triune Godhead of the Holy Scriptures, some still have very real issues in coming to terms with the very real SPIRITUAL REALM that is written throughout the OT and NT.

The word “SIN” occurs in 390 verses in the ESV–104 times alone in the NT; 389 in the KJV. So obviously, the LORD God wants us to realize that there are serious issues regarding SIN/vices/spirits that need to be dealt with.

The reason I am also including the word “spirits” there, is because Fr. Ripperger realizes that it is BECAUSE of such beings, that SIN entered into humanity’s world right from the start, IN the Garden of Eden, where the devil took the form of a SERPENT, and beguiled EVE, and both Adam and Eve then committed sin by NOT taking God at His Word–the word He gave them in Genesis 2:16-17 to NOT take of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. It wasn’t just the disobedience that made the LORD God eventually drive them out of the Garden–it was also to protect them from ETERNALLY being CONDEMNED, IF they went and ate from the Tree of LIFE after eating from the forbidden Tree of Knowledge.

BUT–as a good Father, CONSEQUENCES had to be dealt with. Hence the driving out of the Garden, the SIN that followed mankind right up to the present day, BECAUSE the LORD God demands that we are ALL TESTED to see whether or not we will ABIDE BY Him (Jn. 15:4,6,7,9,16) and, equally important, in HIS WORD (John 8:31).

The LORD God never stopped loving His creation, but He DID give us a CHOICE to either ACCEPT or REJECT Him. While we live and breathe, we have that opportunity to change our minds and live out our lives for Him, even if we did not do so at first. Most people have chosen over the several millennia to NOT accept what the LORD God and His Son has written in His Word; therefore, since there are good consequences for those who accept and believe in Him and His Word, hence then there MUST be a JUDGMENT for those who have refused to accept Him, and That Day SOON approaches.

IF one states that they are a non-believer, then they are already on their way to the Bottomless Pit and eventually, the Lake of Fire (Rev. 20:11-15). Atheists, pagans, Agnostics–basically anyone who refuses to believe in the Word of God (Genesis-Revelation), who also refuses to believe that Jesus Christ is the Savior and soon-to-be JUDGE of the world, are within this category of humans that will be sentenced to eternal death and damnation, which the Bible calls “the second death” (Revelation 2:11; 20:6,14; 21:8). They will NOT escape this, just because they don’t “believe” in it. God’s Word for all these several millennia, hasn’t changed, just because the majority of mankind has decided to walk away from Him, turning to other gods, themselves, lusts and pleasures of this life, etc.

JUDGMENT on the Earth by the Lord Jesus WILL COME (Jude 1:14-15; Rev. chapters 6-18), whether one likes it or not, or “believes” it or not. God’s Word is eternally true (Ps. 119:160; John 17:17). Mankind’s refusal or denial of God and His Word doesn’t mean His eternal Word and judgments will not eventually be carried out.

There will be wonderful consequences for those who have committed their lives to Christ, not giving up their faith in Him, AND trusting in the ENTIRE counsel of His Word (Acts 20:27)–they will be ushered into eternity hearing those words they so longed to hear–“WELL DONE, thou good and faithful servant” and will “enter into the Joy of your Lord” (Matthew 25:21,23).

Those who REFUSE to acknowledge God’s Word and His Son as both Savior and Lord, will hear the awful words, “I never knew you; DEPART from Me, you workers of lawlessness” (Matt. 7:23); “DEPART from Me, you cursed, into the eternal FIRE prepared for the devil and his angels” (Matt. 25:41). Those are awful words to hear from the Son of God, Who suffered and died so that ALL humans could have an opportunity to be SET FREE from any and all DEMONIC influences, when they were living out their lives here on Earth.

There IS hope for such a person, but FIRST and FOREMOST–they must HUMBLE themselves, REPENT of their sins, RENOUNCE any and all dealings with the sinful lifestyle they lived (especially if they were involved in any type of pagan practices–witchcraft, satanism, freemasonry, the various cults like Jehovah’s Witnesses, Mormonism, Islam, etc.), and WHOLEHEARTEDLY accept the Lord Jesus as BOTH Savior AND LORD of their lives, making a commitment to READ, STUDY, MEDITATE on, and LIVE OUT the life He planned and purposed for that individual, so that they can be blessed by Him, and have eternal LIFE through Him.

They MUST BE set free and delivered of ANY and ALL demonic attachments, infestations, infiltrations, etc.–and that can only happen AFTER they made the Lord Jesus their Savior AND LORD of their lives. THEN the Holy Spirit enters into them (see Jn 3:3,5,7; Acts 2). The Holy Spirit will teach, correct, convict, guide, lead, etc. (see Jn. 14:26; 15:26; 16:13,18) that individual, and will make sure that NO evil spirit will dwell within them any longer, AS LONG AS they allow Him to PURIFY their hearts (Isaiah 52:11; Daniel 12:10; Titus 2:14; Hebrews 9:14; James 4:8).

1 Peter 3 tells us, “WHOEVER desires to love life and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit; let him turn away from evil and do good; let him seek peace and pursue it.
For the eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayer. BUT the face of the LORD is against those who do EVIL.”

I highly suggest that you get this deliverance prayer book; I cannot sit here and write out the HUNDREDS of sins/vices/evil spirits that plague humanity, but I will give you a few examples from each group (MIND you, some may start out as obvious mental/emotional/physical ailments, but IF LEFT UNCHECKED–can and WILL turn into demonic issues that the devil and his evil spirits can WORSEN in an individual over TIME, right up to their demise!):

Unclean spirits–offensive, compulsiveness, busybody, perverted thinking, scandals;
Theft–stealing, greed, materialism, hoarding, etc.
Making Excuses for SIN–inability to pray (demons keeping you from praying); worldly cares and lusts, etc.
Mental Illnesses–any and all mental and behavioural type of illnesses such as ADD/ADHD, OCD, PTSS, Anxiety Disorders, Mental torments, Compromising, Doubts, Death Wish, Personality disorders, etc.
Physical Ailments–Paralysis, Tremors, Night Tremors, Blood Pressure, Sinus/Respiratory, Tumors, Cancers, Insomnia, Fibromyalgia, Allergies, Diabetes, Heart Diseases, etc.

False Religions and Philosophies–Any and all cults (JW/Mormonism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism), Yoga, New Age, Nazism, Freemasonry/Mason Lodges, Eastern Star (for women), any and all secret societies, beliefs in other gods such as Greek/Roman/Babylonian/Assyrian gods/goddesses, etc.

Any and all abandonment of Christian faith; any who are against or have unbelief in the Spiritual Realm; any and all who practice Marxism, Socialism, Fascism, Racism, Liberalism, and any and ALL parts of the OCCULT practices–witchcraft, satanism, pagan worship, Druidism, dealing with Channeling, crystals, Reiki, Mantras, Chakras, familiar spirits, Tarot cards, Angel cards, etc.

Dabbling in those mentioned above, or playing around with Horoscopes, Astrology, Spiritism, Numerology, Seances, praying to the dead, etc.

ANY and all types of spirits that are against marriage, the biological male and female, those who accept the lifestyles that are an abomination to the LORD God as written down in His Word both in the OT and NT; any type of physical mutilation of the body, especially to change the gender, etc.

Physical, mental, emotional, abuse of a person–cursing, putting curses on a person, especially children, Child abuse, neglect, molestation of any kind, human/child trafficking, betrayal of spouse, abandonment, any and all abusive language, mocking or bullying, dominance over the spouse or children in a fearful and unloving way, guilt trips, sarcasm, etc.

THESE should be very obvious, but I’ll add them as well (they are mentioned in the book)–Alcoholism, any and ALL types of Drug use and addiction via smoking, inhaling, needles, etc.; Abortion,
any and all types of sexual intercourse outside of marriage/promiscuity/Pornography, sexual addictions, rape, pedophilia, etc. SEXUAL INTERCOURSE is one of the #1 ways besides drug addiction and pagan/cultic/occult/New Age practices that a person receives MANY evil spirits INTO their body and spirits, EVEN IF THEY CLAIM TO BE A CHRISTIAN!

The lie that has circulated for decades about “Christians cannot have evil spirits in them if they belong to Jesus, because the Holy Spirit dwells within them”; they may not be POSSESSED, but they SURE CAN have vexing, infiltrating spirits in their bodies BECAUSE of this VERY LONG list of sinful habits they may have either been exposed to, especially GENERATIONAL CURSES and spirits that have been PASSED DOWN to them–or, sins they have committed themselves, or have been FORCED to commit (such as those who are in false cults, religions, pagan practices such as witchcraft/satanism, etc.).

DO NOT pretend to think that you have not been opened up to any type of demonic stronghold in your life!! WE ALL have been exposed to evil since the day we were born! WE ALL need to REPENT and be CLEANSED of our sins, and be SET FREE from any and all types of demonic infestations, vexations, infiltrations, oppressions, obsessions, etc.

THIS is BUT a SMALL list of what is written in that book. PLEASE take the time out to PRAY and ask the LORD to help you in any or all the areas YOU and your loved ones may be afflicted in. GET this prayer book, and SEEK OUT a Biblical deliverance worker, or better yet, an exorcist (if such issues are very serious) such as Fr. Dan Reehill, Fr. Chad Ripperger, Msgr. Stephen Rossetti; at the least, go to a CHRISTIAN counselor (like from the Biblical Counseling Coalition, for example) who takes the Word of God seriously–ALL of it–and can begin to help you discover what other underlying issues you also may have, besides whatever is the obvious one(s) plaguing you or your loved ones.

I CAN help at the very least, try and determine those issues with certain questionnaires that I have. That is a good start and one of the first steps for those who wish to finally get themselves SET FREE from any and all types of demonic/spiritual attachments.

I pray this has been very helpful to you all. May the LORD God bless you and have you seek the help you need, in order to be SET FREE and DELIVERED, so that YOU can live the life you were always purposed to live in the name of the Lord, Savior, Master, King, and Judge of this World–Jesus Christ.
