The Generals of Satan

Father Dan shared in one talk that an exorcist told him about the Five Generals of Satan. These are major demons who work for the Evil One as generals over troops. According to this exorcist, these are called The Council or the Table. Interesting that the exorcist had this information and passed it on to Father Dan,...who shared this with us.

The SCOTUS decision gave three of these generals of Satan control over American lands.

(I referred to some of these in my Synod series last October and later--you may want to go back and look at those posts.)

The first evil demon "general" now in power is Asmodeus, homosexuality in men. The second and third, out of the five, are Lilith, the passive demon of homosexuality in women and Leviathan, the agressive one.

Two other generals are still not in control. One is Baal, the old God of the Canaanites, of whom I have written on this blog in the past.

The point Father Dan wanted to make was that these demons now have a foothold in our country and more and more demons, (there are millions), will gather in the States like flies. Father used the metaphor of flies to explain that once a general is in an area, the troops follow.

We are now living in a besieged land spiritually.

This is another reason why I want to set up a house of prayer, like a little area of troops behind enemy lines. And, why this country needs contemplative, intercessory prayer.

Father Dan said that we have to prepare ourselves for the coming onslaught of evil. (One reason for this blog).

Knowing one is living in a land under the rule and troops of evil spirits sobers one's thoughts and hopefully focuses one on becoming holy, and, may I add again, moving into some sort of community.

I add here the famous section from Daniel concerning the angels fighting.  From the book of Daniel:

8 And I being left alone saw this great vision: and there remained no strength in me, and the appearance of my countenance was changed in me, and I fainted away, and retained no strength.

9 And I heard the voice of his words: and when I heard, I lay in a consternation, upon my face, and my face was close to the ground.

10 And behold a hand touched me, and lifted me up upon my knees, and upon the joints of my hands.

11 And he said to me: Daniel, thou man of desires, understand the words that I speak to thee, and stand upright: for I am sent now to thee. And when he had said this word to me, I stood trembling.

12 And he said to me: Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thy heart to understand, to afflict thyself in the sight of thy God, thy words have been heard: and I am come for thy words.

13 But the prince of the kingdom of the Persians resisted me one and twenty days: and behold Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, and I remained there by the king of the Persians.

14 But I am come to teach thee what things shall befall thy people in the latter days, for as yet the vision is for days.

Our Angels fight with demons. This is not news.

I shall continue this later....

Retreat Talk continued

Father Dan referred to something in his talk which was taught to me when I was in community in the 1970s.

Dissociation. Psychological disassociation is the state of a person being detached from reality. Father Dan used an example, almost the same type used by my spiritual mentors forty years ago.

A friend of mine in 2008 and I experienced this type of caused by demons.

But, this state is exhibited either because a person is detached from reality by serious sin and demonic influence interiorly, or by exterior demonic influences.

Two examples--the external influence first. A person in a room says something important to another person and that person hears something completely differently--the demons of the air have taken the words and either twisted these, or interfered with the hearing of these words.

One can correct this oppression by repeating the sentence or words clearly and by unmasking the demon of the air -- which is what I was taught years ago to do.

In the second example, this dissociation is caused by interior chaos, sin, trauma, shock, and the person separates from reality either as a coping mechanism, or as a complete retreat from reality.

Christian families can be infected with this demonic influence. Many people who have been abused experience dissociation.

Father Dan noted that porn causes dissociation. I would go farther and state that obsession with computer games.

I extrapolate.

Dissociation stops spiritual reality from sinking in.

I have met people who have fallen into dissociation. The result is a tragic loss of humanity and identity.

Fantasy and living lives which seem holy but are really facades as one is living beyond the grace of God, pretending, may also be symptoms of dissociation.

Prayer must be intense and real. Conversion and complete abandonment to Divine Providence.

All those dissociated people in power will try to make our lives miserable.

to be continued....

First Talk of The Retreat

The first talk on this retreat by Father Dan may be summarized in three words. Most, if not all, of what we are experiencing in the sudden decay of America is demonic. The second word would be that what we are experiencing will get much worse. The third point is that we must learn how not to fall under this influence.

Worse demonic influence.

Worse --- life will get worse in all ways.

Demons --- these will be more and more active.

Influence --- we need to prepare ourselves so that we shall not be influenced by either chaos or loss, the worst which can happen, or demons. More later.
