DEMONIC possessions are on the rise and the church does not have enough exorcists to fight them.
DEMONIC WAR: Catholic Church exorcists say they are not enough of them battle the forces of evil.
This is the shock claim made by top priests from the Catholic Church close to the Vatican.
Religious figures warned there was an “emergency” lack of priests with the ability to battle the possessions.
Church experts insisted they need to recruit more priests to combat black magic, satanism and sorcery.
They blamed the internet for the rise in the occult as more people begin to dabble in demonic ceremonies such as ouija boards to summon the dead.
Valter Cascioli, from the International Association of Exorcists, which is endorsed by the Vatican, warned the impending demonic crisis.
He said: "The lack of exorcists is a real emergency. There is a pastoral emergency as a result of a significant increase in the number of diabolical possessions that exorcist priests are confronting.
"The number of people who take part in occult and satanic practices, which lead to serious physical, psychological and spiritual damages, is constantly rising.”
Father Gary Thomas, a Catholic priest trained in Rome as an exorcist, told the Telegraph: "We’re gaining all sorts of knowledge, but there’s still that emptiness within us that is being filled with addictive behaviour such as drugs and pornography.
"The decline in faith goes hand in hand with the rise in evil.”
He added: "Almost every free night that I have is taken up with exorcisms."

The demons are rising up from hell in anticipation of Hillary taking power and bringing forth Armageddon.
I had such great hopes for the Enlightenment.
When God allows us to experience darkness, He also provides us with the Light. It’s our choice. It is my prayer that most will choose “En-Light-enment.”
May the "enlightenment" soon be dead and buried with a stake of iron through its black and evil heart!
But, I asked it a question: What was the NAME of the man I would marry? I knew it would answer "YES" if I asked if I were GOING to marry so I thought this a cleverer question.
The name it spelled out for me? MOZART.
Lol. I was sort of puzzled THEN. Now I smile because the old adversary couldn't/can't read the future so it took a name of our my life. I loved classical music. So much for him and his powers...tiny, minute, minuscule, microscopic, nanoscale, infinitesimal, very small, little, mini, diminutive, miniature, scaled down, baby, toy, dwarf, pygmy, peewee, Lilliputian in comparison to his Creator.
Anybody seen the youtube of the swiss tunnel ceremony? IMO it’s overtly satanic, it is now (also IMO) out in the open.
There is another excellent thread on this topic:

I must need coffee...I read “Statism...more exorcisms needed, “ which actually still works.
Its only power is to destroy. I listened to a French evangelical channel of a French explaining how he was some kind of Gypsy and used to be able to make furniture walk and make boards talk etc. Basically once invoked, the spirits do not let go and push the person to suicide through harassment, and the suicide is the mean by which the person gets to join them in hell.
It is a hoax from hell
Jesus Himself performed exorcisms in the Bible. There is plenty of superstitious nonsense in the world — the fact that people who purposefully invoke demons/commune with the dead get a result, whether they were looking for it or not, is not among that nonsense.
The adversary will do what he has to do to steal souls away from his Maker.
There was a Jesuit priest who mused on the idea of what might happen to Satan and others who died with mortal sin on their souls on the Last Day. He posed the possibility that rather than an ETERNITY for sin, those condemned to eternity without God (A.K.A. hell), God might simply "un-create" them.
Their souls would cease to exist. I thought it was an interesting idea.
In that case, Christ saying man has an eternal soul would be a lie which means, God can’t do that so he has to give people exactly what they wanted, life without Him or, Christ was a liar.
“Their souls would cease to exist. I thought it was an interesting idea. “
If you hold onto darkness, you cannot exist in the Light. Thus darkness can continue to exist, but elsewhere.
However, the core essence of every human soul is Light. Thus we may hide that Light within us and fool ourselves into thinking that we are darkness and the Light will kill us.
That is the great lie of satan. In many ways, the Light washes away the darkness of our sins that we hold onto and sets our inner Light free to shine. Only those who go through the pain and agony of continuing to hold onto our darkness in our souls will remain shackled.
Jesus used the parable in Matthew 13 of Mankind being the good seeds that were planted here in this field (earth) to grow. satan planted the weeds.
When we realize that evil is “live” spelled backwards, darkness is evil as it takes away our ability to “live”, while the Light provides our ability to “Live.”
When you feel the radiance of Jesus on your soul, it is beyond description. The closest thing would be the warm sun on a spring day that warms your body. Evil on the other hand does not provide that warmth. You feel cold, often freezing cold as evil drains your energy.
Thus the best way to battle evil is to stay connected to the Light so you become like a high voltage wire where when grounded by darkness, the sparks fly and darkness is replaced by Light.
“...there’s still that emptiness within us that is being filled with addictive behaviour such as drugs... “
Drug use is the problem, not demonic possession. The more excuses you give an addict or abuser to not be responsible for their behavior, the less likely they will come around to facing the fact that they are responsible for their drug use.
This is just another excuse not to put the blame squarely where it belongs.
The demons are us. Our own choices. Our destructive behaviors. If priests are willing to help folks face this truth they may be able to save souls, if they blame “demons” they will save very few.
“Drug use is the problem, not demonic possession.”
The two go hand in hand. Drug use opens a person up and makes them vulnerable.
