Dear Father,

  • Can you please give me a deeper understanding of the spiritual realm?
  • With respect to this issue, can you please minister to me about prayer and fasting and their effect on the spiritual dimension?

I seek to deeply and intimately know the things of that dimension for I am in a spiritual warfare that keeps on overcoming me. I need a deliverance and a miracle from what has engulfed me.

Please help me grow in Christ and in faith as I go through my tribulation. I would be more than grateful if you could refer me to podcasts or other materials that may be useful.

As a side note, I have personally met a devil incarnate, a demons host or witch, some may say from the occult realm.

Father, these people are extremely powerful in the dark arts; they are malicious and wicked. The hatred I saw in their eyes towards me transcends the human range of apathy. To be honest, It's beyond comprehension. They have been toying around with fortune telling, and what they declared onto me, has come to pass.

Father, help me seal my fate from being revealed and tampered with by these people.

Please intercede on my behalf and pray for me.

"I have come into the deep waters; the floods engulf me. I am worn out calling for help; my throat is parched. My eyes fail, looking for my God. ... May those who hope in you not be disgraced because of me, O Lord, the LORD Almighty; may those who seek you not be put to shame because of me, O God of Israel."

Psalm 69:2-3, 6

Tsebaot

Dear Tsebaot,

We are not priests but faithful, lay Catholics who help fellow Catholics and non-Catholics understand our faith better. That said, we can still help you.

You need to start praying the Rosary everyday. Praying the twenty mysteries is best, but do at least 5 decades, and fast by making some acts of penance everyday. Give up simple pleasures for a start.

To learn more about spiritual warfare, listen to Fr. Chad Ripperger and get the book of prayers of deliverance. I'll give some links to help you below.

Lastly, contact your parish priest or bishops office about these matters. You may need extra help fighting these satanists, but if you:

  • are in the state of Grace
  • receive the Sacraments
  • pray the Rosary, and
  • keep and wear holy (blessed) objects on your person

you should be safe. The war is real and you must take it seriously.

I'll pray for you. You must remember, Christ is greater than satan, and when you have Christ you have strength to overcome all things.

Being strong for Christ will be your strength.

Peace,

Bob Kirby

Tsebaot replied:

Amen. Amen.

Thank you for your prayer Father.

Many thanks for your counsel as well, I will take heed to it. The materials you shared are also very helpful.

God bless you, In Christ,

Tsebaot
