Ephesians 6:11-17
11 Put on the armor of God so that you may be able to stand firm against the tactics of the devil.12For our struggle is not with flesh and blood but with the principalities, with the powers, with the world rulers of this present darkness, with the evil spirits in the heavens.13 Therefore, put on the armor of God, that you may be able to resist on the evil day and, having done everything, to hold your ground.14 So stand fast with your loins girded in truth, clothed with righteousness as a breastplate,15 and your feet shod in readiness for the gospel of peace. 16 In all circumstances, hold faith as a shield, to quench all (the) flaming arrows of the evil one.17 And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
Just saw the movie THE RITE tonight.
It was an Exorcism story.... I was taken aback and was deeply disturbed. I think I have encountered a situation like that. When I was a child, I didn't know better. Perhaps it was our customary recitation of the Holy Rosary that led us to the path to Light... way back, we were not fully aware of the troubles that we were in. We had spiritual warfare and belief in God was so so-so.
I still had mixed emotions as I watched the film, but deep down, I know my spiritual journey is different from a lot of people. I couldn't even begin the story on how i believe what I believe now. DEVILS do Exist, and so does God.
In the movie, the charm worn by the possessed victims played a vital role. It was repeatedly stressed throughout the movie. I think they forgot to explain why they kept on highlighting the charm. The charm is used most of the time for occult practices, and anyone who uses it will be susceptible to demonic possessions. So the next time people buy things, they have to know its origin to make sure it wasn't used for any kind of occult practices.
The Devil is cunning.... they fool people into not believing them so that it would be easy for them to go around playing with people.
I don't know if I am biased... I just want to be vigilant for my own sake. As I am writing this, I am fully aware of my role as a person who understand what it means to be a Catholic. And with that, I think I will live as one... I hope I can make my God proud of me, as I once said strongly in my dream. Such bold words... I can't forget it. I hope I have the will and the capacity to live it through.
From this point on, the amazing journey begins.... Help me God!
