Angel of light
Feb 2300:26:07Tap to summarizeNew book in the book series!Demons, Deliverance, and Discernment. Separating fact from fiction about the spirit world. by Father Mike Driscoll"Catholics do not believe in possession by any spirits other than demons: whether animals, dead human beings, or gods. That said, demons can masquerade as any of the spirits found in pagan beliefs - even as an angel of light (2 Cor. 11:14)."(pg. 27)

Feb 2200:05:30Tap to summarizeRom 5:12-19Adam and Christ12 Therefore as sin came into the world through one man and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all men sinned— 13 Sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted where there is no law. 14 Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sins were not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the one who was to come.15 But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through one man’s trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift in the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many. 16 And the free gift is not like the effect of that one man’s sin. For the judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the free gift following many trespasses brings justification. 17 If, because of one man’s trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ.18 Then as one man’s trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one man’s act of righteousness leads to acquittal and life for all men. 19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by one man’s obedience many will be made righteous.

Feb 1600:16:03Tap to summarizeThe Occult Among Us by Charles De Fraune"God is truthful, and He delivers on His promises, constantly leading us forward in holiness and happiness. Satan is a liar and, if he does grant what he offers, he does so with the plan to use that 'gift' against us to compel us to serve him in evil and die in mortal sin."(pg.106)

Feb 1500:05:28Tap to summarize1 Cor 2:6-10The True Wisdom of God6 Yet among the mature we do impart wisdom, although it is not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are doomed to pass away. 7 But we impart a secret and hidden wisdom of God, which God decreed before the ages for our glorification. 8 None of the rulers of this age understood this; for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9 But, as it is written,“What no eye has seen, nor ear heard,nor the heart of man conceived,what God has prepared for those who love him,”10 God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God.

Feb 900:13:47Tap to summarizeThe Occult Among Us by Charles De Fraune"Those in a state of mortal sin, who have refused or have broken from the easy yoke of the Gospel, are in a state of spiritual bondage to Satan at the moment of death. As a result of this, they are led captive into perdition and eternal suffering in Hell. This is how we are damned; by leaving the passing realm of this mortal life without the fortification of sanctifying grace."(pg. 91)

Feb 800:02:32Tap to summarize1 Cor 2:1-5Proclaiming Christ Crucified2 When I came to you, brethren, I did not come proclaiming to you the testimony of God in lofty words or wisdom. 2 For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. 3 And I was with you in weakness and in much fear and trembling; 4 and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and power, 5 that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.

Feb 200:23:11Tap to summarizeThe Occult Among Us by Charles De Fraune"Idolatry and sexual deviancy are grave spiritual crimes, as the Church teaches and as exorcists note from their work. Fr. Athanasius pointed out that sins against the First and Sixth Commandments are why people need exorcisms the most."(pg. 60)

Feb 100:02:58Tap to summarize1 Cor 1:26-3126 For consider your call, brethren; not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth; 27 but God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong, 28 God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, 29 so that no human being might boast in the presence of God. 30 He is the source of your life in Christ Jesus, whom God made our wisdom, our righteousness and sanctification and redemption; 31 therefore, as it is written, “Let him who boasts, boast of the Lord.”

Dec 21, 202400:10:10Tap to summarizeEPHESIANS 2 Made Alive in Christ 1 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, 2 in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. 3 All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. 4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. 6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 7 in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
