Changes

:There have been cases where innocent persons have been violently possessed against their will. We can see some of these in the Gospels. In those known instances where persons have been previously somewhat sinful but not notoriously so, and then have suddenly have become unaccountably far worse, with or without the influence of drugs and alcohol, the evil spirit or spirits have attacked and made an already bad situation much worse, having suddenly found an individual, already willfully disposed to sin, who is ready to welcome a much greater evil, but who did not bargain for such an overwhelmingly malevolent increase in wickedness, far beyond the bounds of what that individual had ever believed themselves capable of or expected. They either take over and dominate the sinfully cooperative will, or they aggravate and inflame the willful tendencies of the sinner to eagerly embrace greater, and ever-increasing depths of wicked depravity to an unnatural degree of overwhelming intensity which the sinner never believed possible for himself or herself. Some persons have confessed to making a compact with the Devil, or of selling their souls to do evil, in order to gain something that they have greatly desired. When they have perpetrated evil in order to obtain something ordinarily desirable as a good, for themselves or for society in general, they have been deceived into believing that the end justifies the means to reach it.

:An enslaved victim of evil domination can be healed and set free by an authentic [[exorcism]] rightly performed and empowered by God Himself acting through his legitimately authorized representative.
