DISCERNMENT

Testing the Spirits

Curses, spells, seals and blood consecrations - we handle them all the same way.  A sealed in spirit, by the way, usually comes if a child is not baptized or not baptized properly and it can come into little children.  It is a little armor that evil spirits have on and you cannot reach them if they have that armor on.  So, you break the armor.  You are breaking that seal is what you are doing.  You are breaking a curse or spells or hexes the same way or blood consecrations.  I put them all together because they are all handled the same way.  Since curses, spells, hexes, seals, blood consecrations are all put on three times on people in mockery of the Trinity, tremendous mockery of the Trinity, we break them three times.   We had a team over in Lithuania for a big rally when someone started manifesting.and they removed the person right away (which you always should do) to a private ministry area. there were about twenty thousand people there and they started giving the command for these spirits, that were manifesting themselves, to go.  The spirits did not go. Our intercessors were receiving from God that this was a curse, that means they would have to break it three times.  Our intercessors began to say kind of to themselves, "Three times, Lord tell them three times."   The bishop was standing right next to one of our intercessors and heard what she was saying so he went over and said three times, "In the name of Jesus I break this curse.  I break this curse in the name of Jesus."  He said it three times.  Then the curse was broken and then he ordered the spirits to leave and it was over right away.  So that three times is important.  

We had been questioning the Lord about that, "Lord show us if we really need to go three times to break curses, spells, hexes and consecrations."  That was our confirmation when that happened in Lithuania that day.   Seals are also kind of concealed.  The Lord might give you an image of a seal - a fish type of seal or maybe a seal on a book or something.  He will let you know somehow that you are up against a sealed in spirit and they will not obey the command until you break the seal.  Break the seal three times in the name of Jesus.  Then, the spirits are very easy to send to the foot of the cross.  This is really the power of God's grace which is working.

Sometimes, however, you may be up against a human spirit.  We did not know this at first.   We do not know a lot about purgatory.  We know that souls in purgatory are suffering and they need prayers from us.  We are the militant Church, the suffering Church.  They are getting ready to go into the Glorified Church.  There  are some of those in purgatory too, that are in tremendous suffering for purification purposes and it seems like they are kind of roaming.  These are human spirits.  They sometimes live in the very house or place where they died.  They do not seem to know where to go.  It is a human spirit that has died.  You cannot give a command to a human spirit.   You can command evil spirits and they have to obey the command of God, but a human spirit you handle differently.   We found this out by some friends of ours who were having manifestations in their house, like a rocking chair would rock and there was no one in the rocking chair, a door would kind of slam or they would get locked out and it was getting their attention. 

Lots of times spirits who have died want our attention because they are begging help, they are begging for prayer.  I tell you, when they get to heaven they are so grateful, they become wonderful intercessors.  They will do anything almost for you because they want to be part of helping other people get to heaven as well.   In this particular case, these manifestations, which we thought were evil spirits, were human spirits.  

People were making Holy hours and we kept trying to give commands until the Lord showed us that these were not evil spirits.  This is why they would not go. Finally the Lord gave us this teaching on these are the souls and showed us that they were souls in purgatory.  Then, what we did was to have Mass offered.  That is what these souls want.  The Mass is so powerful. They family called a priest to their home and they had Mass said right in their home.  They said as the Mass was being offered in their living room with only a few family members present, they just felt the room was packed.  It was probably packed with a lot of other poor souls waiting to go home as well.   The power of the Mass to help our human spirits.
