The devil exists. I know because he tormented me for years through people who were involved in the occult. The assaults affected me mentally, physically, spiritually and emotionally. The attacks were so vicious they distorted the way I saw and perceived everything. They affected my thoughts, my relationships, my ability to experience joy, and over time, they literally changed the person I was into someone I no longer recognized. My emotions were so hampered that I was unable to communicate or live my life in the way I always had.

As I sank deeper into darkness, my hope for freedom began to fade and I fell helplessly into despair. My strength was so sapped that I believed I would remain in that place forever. It was at that point that the Lord reached down and pulled me from the pit, and in all His mercy began to lead me on a journey toward hope and healing.

I have been Catholic my entire life, but it was only through this trial that I discovered how rich with remedy the Catholic Church actually is. It was through the sacraments that the Lord saved me, and through the Eucharist that I was sustained. The Lord slowly renewed my strength and taught me exactly what I needed to do to conquer the devil.
You aren’t confessing to a priest and it isn’t the actual power of the priest who frees or exorcizes you, but Christ, via Persona Christi, as the priest stands in for Christ, on Earth.
Yes, it is Jesus who works through the priest.
Hello a question I’ve had in mind for a while now. Would postpartum depression be a form of depression used by the evil one?
No. I had it with my first child and it only lasted a short time. That is something you can talk to your doctor about. I am sure they will be able to help you. Congratulations on your new baby!
I just discovered this blog this morning. Wow! I truly believe we could talk for hours. Our situation is very, very similar. I too came to the conclusion that God permitted this nightmare for a greater good, and to help others due to the explosion of witchcraft/black Magick. Not many would believe it if you didn’t live and experience it. Not for the faint of heart. That in itself does create isolation because no one, even in the Church, takes it seriously. It makes you feel isolated, alone, and doubtful. Thanks for sharing. I admire you and totally appreciate what you’ve been through. I know words do not really convey the depth and scope of these experiences, but you’re doing good!
Thank you! I think the Church is getting there. There are so many holy priests that have embraced the deliverance ministry. I have even seen priests who shied away from it or just plain rejected it, who are becoming more open to it. There is a great need for this ministry, in the Church, and in the world and. I think that need is becoming more and more obvious. I always tell people if you can’t find a priest then contact the diocese and they will direct you. Or pray to the Holy Spirit, He will surely lead you to the right priest.
I agree. There is a great need. I realized also that given the scope of this in our society that 1 or 2 priests won’t be able to handle what is surely coming when it manifests in its entirety. The laity, and those that the Lord has “trained” in this will be required to help in deliverance.
In reading your story, I am wondering was the “witch” a friend from work, etc? What became of her? If you can reveal that, I think it would be helpful because part of this for us has been to be more discerning in our relationships and interactions with others. The source of our torment was someone from church. Took quite awhile to accept that!
Oh, there are more than a few priests that are trained in the deliverance ministry. In my area, there are a lot of priests who are versed in deliverance. When I was first attacked, there was no one, not even one priest. But now there are several priests I can go to. So the Blessed Mother is building an army of very holy priests who are and will be more than equipped to deal with the enemy. I pray deliverance prayers for myself and my family. I wouldn’t want to pray over other people though. I can just pray for them privately. After what happened to me I would never allow a layperson to touch me because I don’t know the state of their soul. That brings me to “the witch.” I wrote a book about my experiences and I am hoping to self-publish this year. I talk about the questions you are asking. What I can say is that I thought she was a holy catholic person and she wasn’t. I suffered for years because of that mistake. I think that if a witch wants to hurt Catholics the perfect place to find them is in the catholic church or at a catholic conference. That was difficult for me to understand, but now I get it. That being said, I don’t think that parishes are overrun with witches. I go to Mass every day and it is rare I am apprehensive about anyone. It has happened, but I just avoid them and ask God to remove them if they are evil. They either stay or they eventually go away.
My relationship and interactions with others is different because of what happened to me. I’m guessing you understand that because it happened to you. I am just careful. I trust my intuition. I guess I am guarded and have been for years now. I don’t trust as easy as I used to. But I think that was a part of what the Lord was trying to show me.
I agree 100% – it’s best to totally avoid lay people praying over you/touching you –
as you cannot know the state of their soul.
I am praying to the Holy Spirit to guide me to a good holy Priest.
God Bless your work Wendy and reward you abundantly.
There are so many holy priests, you’ll find one. They really are a blessing in our lives!
Wendy, you said you went to the priests for deliverance from this evil; why not go straight to Jesus? Men can do nothing without Christ.
I was saved out of new age in 2019. Tarot. Channeling. Meditation. All the usual. One day I googled, “What does the Bible say about tarot and mediumship?” Understand that I considered myself atheist at that time. I cursed God for an abusive childhood and a life of hardship. Me asking what the Bible says about this was a miracle in itself.
The Bible uses the term divination, not tarot and mediumship, but regardless, the response I received was not only to be directed to Deuteronomy, the Holy Spirit spoke through my thoughts. Essentially He said if I did not turn away from that evil, I would spend eternity in hell. I was convinced. I’ve never been so terrified to die as I was in that moment. I ran around my apartment tossing everything related to new age. I didn’t know enough to realize I should have burned everything. I was so panicked that I couldn’t think straight anyway.
It took another three months before I was saved.
God is so good! I am so happy to hear such a beautiful experience of God and how he saved you. It’s wonderful. The fact that you escaped the new age is a miracle. To answer your question, during the time I was under the influence of witchcraft I prayed to Jesus constantly (and I still do). It was a time of intense fear, anxiety, and confusion. But this was God’s will for me. He allowed these attacks so that I could come to love Him more and so that I could help others who were suffering too. It brought me to a place of surrender and a knowing that I could do nothing without Jesus, as you mentioned in your comment. I went to Mass (church) every day and Jesus strengthened me through the Eucharist, which Catholics believe is the body, blood, soul, and divinity of Christ. I also went to adoration where I sat before Jesus in the Eucharist and prayed. That is where I built a deep and loving friendship with Him. And little by little He healed me. Then I went on a pilgrimage and my whole life changed through the hands of a priest who prayed over me. I was so filled with the Holy Spirit that I went home and did an amazing amount of research and learned so much about what was happening to me and also about deliverance. It was a journey for sure. The Catholic Priest is very powerful, and the prayer they pray over you literally kicks demons out so they can no longer harass you. I do pray deliverance prayers and the scripture is definitely very powerful against demons. It is the living word of Jesus. So it is like a combination of personal prayer and the power of the priest when needed. Confession, which is where you confess your sins to the priest, is also powerful in defeating the devil. The sacraments are essential in the battle against evil and without them, I don’t know that I ever would have been completely healed. The Eucharist and confession are 2 of the 7 sacraments. They give us grace and increase our faith. I hope this has helped answer your question.
