The Power of Christ Compels You

By Reverend J. Andrade

It is critical to understanding that being a Demonologist is a calling from God. It is not something that one should do because they have nothing better to do on a Saturday night. This is a ministry and unless one is called to serve in this ministry, they should stay away from the topic because for being involved with such matters, there will be dangerous consequences.
Anyone who's involved in Demonology and certainly Exorcism should be devoted in strong prayer life.
I have studied Demonology since I was 14 years old and there is a big difference between what books say and what the real experience deems as truthful. If one only reads theories but yet has no field experience, I would hardly call them a Demonologist.
Once again, to be a Demonologist is a calling from God and I cannot stress enough that this is a hazardous ministry and people should become educated on what those risks are before venturing on this path.
Now what's the difference between Demonologist and Exorcist, you may ask, well a Demonologist is one who has studied Demonology and is able to decipher through knowledge the difference between infestation, oppression and possession. To be considered a true Demonologist, one should have studied under a reputable Demonologist (I'm mentored by Keith Johnson http://www.nearparanormal.com/ ) or Exorcist before claiming to be one.

Demonologist does not perform the Ritual of Exorcism. This Ritual should only be performed by an Exorcist who is validly ordained.

An Exorcist is a validly ordained priest who has the proper education and prayer life to perform the  Ritual of Exorcism. This should ONLY be done by a validly ordained priest. Ordination does not mean hitting the “get ordained” button on the internet. This is not considered valid ordination.

                                                                            BUT!!

If I have studied the scriptures, knowing them by heart in Latin, Portuguese and English, studied Theology, have done deliverance ministry,

Been a missionary, missionary leader, taught Sunday School, held the High Priesthood with the Latter Day Saints (the Mormons), and received the Sacrament of Holy Orders and Patriarchal Blessing .

Would that make me an invalid Reverend? Then I will be subject to the ultimate punishment!

                                                                Deservedly, so be it!


                                Matthew 10:1 (KJV)

            And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he
            gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out,
            and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of
            disease.


            Matthew 10:8 (KJV)  (Jesus to the twelve disciples)     
                                   
            Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out
            devils: freely ye have received, freely give.



            Luke 10:19 KJV  (Jesus to His appointed seventy people)
                                         
            Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and
            scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing
            shall by any means hurt you.


            Matthew 28:18-20 (KJV) (Power extended to new disciples)
                                      
                                         
             18
                    And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power
                    is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
             19
                    Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing
                    them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and
                    of the Holy Ghost:
             20
                    Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have
                    commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even
                    unto the end of the world. Amen.


                            Among the "all things whatsoever I
                            have commanded you" are included the
                            instructions to "heal the sick" and "cast out
                            devils" given in Matthew 10:8, above.                     



            Mark 16:17-18 (KJV) (Power of believers to cast out demons)

       17                        
            And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name
            shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new
            tongues;
       18
            They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any
            deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay
            hands on the sick, and they shall recover.



            Matthew 18:18 (KJV)
                                         
            Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth
            shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on
            earth shall be loosed in heaven.


             "For with God nothing shall be impossible."
              (Luke 1:37 KJV)

             " . . . for with God all things are possible."
              (Mark 10:27 KJV)
