How to Exorcise Demons

An exorcism is a practice which drives out a satanic or demon possession from a person. Typically the Roman Catholics perform exorcisms, but other religious denominations will occasionally perform an exorcism as well. Follow these steps if you want to exorcise a demon.

Difficulty: Challenging

Instructions

1. Ensure that you have a very close relationship with God. To exorcise demons you must know God and have a very close connection to him through prayer and faith.

2. Work with a team. In the Roman Catholic rite of exorcism the exorcist has three assistants: a physician, a younger priest and a strong member of the victim's family. If the victim is a woman, the third person is also a woman to prevent false accusations of misconduct.

3. Confess your sins and ask for forgiveness. In a traditional exorcism the exorcist will confess any sins he committed to ensure that he didn't have any unforgiven sins that the demon could use against him during the ritual.

4. Ask the demon his name. This will help you to determine who is possessing the victim and the nature of the possession.

5. Pray for the demon to leave the victim. If you know Latin, recite the prayers in Latin because it is believed to be the best language for exorcism. During the prayer, the assistants can read scriptures from the Bible and do the sign of the cross.

6. Command the demon to leave the victim in the name of Jesus Christ. If the demon does not leave, repeat the ritual until he is gone.

7. Pray for God to help and protect the victim.

Tips & Warnings

• Exorcism should only be performed by religious leaders because it can be dangerous.
• Make sure the person being exorcised is actually possessed and not just suffering from a medical disorder.

on 1/23/2009 sounds season if you were taking acid then I highly doubt that you casted out any demons the demon may have hid and not manifested anymore but I doubt he's out. What actions made you think that you did? this is important and will determine if the threat is gone. So let me know and I'll tell you for sure.

on 12/17/2008 I'm pretty sure I exorcised my friend the other day. We took some acid and were doing ok but he stats bugging and I had to exorcise him. This proves that you don't have to be a priest because I'm not yet.

on 11/29/2008 wavymouth your comment is very correct.There are many and there are also many in you. ghenesis if a person has christ behind him then he can do all things. It doesn;t matter how old you are. Elitchka preists aren't the only ones who can cast out a demon. The bible even speaks about non christians casting out demons. However it takes a strong man filled with the holy spirit to do this right.
