From Forums of the Virgin Mary [translated for discernment]:
(And if someone makes a pact with the devil, how can they get out of it?)
We at Forums wish to ask this: Have you heard stories about people “selling” their souls to the devil?
Are such stories true?
If so, what damage can these dark pacts cause?
How does the evil one recruit people to work for him? And what does he give them in return and what does he take away from them?
Can you get out of these agreements? How?
Here we will discover the tactics of the evil one to trap young people to work for him. [SD note: for your discernment]
And how to avoid falling for their deceptions.
We will see the tactics he uses and how he achieves it.
How to realize, at the first opportunity, that the evil one is trying to seduce you.
The signs that indicate that a person is under its influence.
And how to free yourself from their clutches and recover your lost path.
The first thing to be clear about is that you cannot sell your soul to the devil, because the soul does not belong to the person but to God.
But you can make a pact to serve the devil.
Many men have done it throughout history, but it has always ended in disaster; the devil is a great liar and does not keep what he promised.
And the person who makes the pact ends up tied to the devil because he fears losing what he was looking for, but in the end he does not achieve it completely, and other negative things come to him (or her) that he or she was not looking for.
Perhaps the most famous case is that of Dr. Faust in Goethe’s novel, who made a deal with the devil to receive supernatural power and pleasures for twenty-four years.
And when the end of the two dozen years came, he tried to thwart the devil’s plans and in the novel it ended with a cruel death.
Exorcist Father Pellegrino Ernetti says he has spoken to priests in virtually every country, and they report these deals with Satan.
And he cites an interesting case of a pact with the devil (real and not deduced by behavior) that allows us to understand that the key to getting out of the pact: human will.
It tells the case of a very attractive woman who could not enter the world of cinema.
She reportedly made a pact with the devil, and was immediately cast as the star of a movie. And: she continued to land leading roles, becoming a star in Italy.
However, as in so many cases, the lifestyle led her to drugs, and as a heroin addict, she came completely under the control of the devil and her life became unbearable.
That’s when she asked the exorcist to break this pact.
But then she became frightened of the possibility that without the support of Satan, she would return to the miserable anonymity she lived before and gave up with deliverance.
Perhaps these cases are most abundant in the music environment.
There is the famous case of guitarist Robert Johnson, who is considered one of the best blues musicians in history.
He died at the age of twenty-seven of a mysterious death.
The legend is that he met a “person” at the intersection of Highways 49 and 61 in the town of Clarksdale, Mississippi. [scroll for more:]
And Johnson told him of his ambition to become the greatest blues musician in the world.
This character took out a guitar, tuned it, taught Johnson some tunes, and gave him the guitar and the skills.
Those who heard Robert Johnson play live say that he sounded like two guitars at the same time.
Today some ambitious musicians go to the crossroads of these roads seeking to repeat this pact.
There is also the case of John Lennon, who was obsessed with occultism, magic, numerology, and above all he wanted to be bigger than Elvis Presley. He told his friend Tony Sheridan that he had made a deal with the devil [allegedly; see coming article on SD].
The agreement would have been for twenty years.
And what happened 20 years before his tragic death, which was supposedly when Lennon made the pact with the devil?
On December 27, 1960, the Beatles played at the Town Hall in Litherland, England.
And it was said that after that performance, the Beatles never looked back.
Each of the Beatles remembers that night as the turning point in their career.
[SD note: Now, if you ask ChatGPT, it says: “There is no credible or widely recognized statement from Tony Sheridan claiming that John Lennon sold his soul. Tony Sheridan was a British rock and roll singer-songwriter and guitarist who collaborated with The Beatles in their early years when they were performing in Hamburg, Germany. While there have been many sensational stories and myths surrounding the lives and careers of famous musicians like The Beatles, claims about things like ‘selling one’s soul’ are typically metaphorical or part of folklore rather than literal or factual statements.”]
We do know this: David Chapman, his murderer, would be exorcised while serving his sentence in prison.
And he declared that he had always had an intuitive belief that the true author of this story was Satan and that he was only the messenger.
And currently this continues in the world of music.
We have the case of Taylor Swift, currently the most popular pop singer.
She is one of those people who boasts of being “spiritual, but not religious.”
And under the umbrella of spirituality comes anything: all paths lead to Heaven, karma, the law of attraction, connecting with the universe, practicing yoga, aligning your chakras, etcetera.
She was raised Catholic; however, she has been accused, for example by Irish singer Shane Lynch, of performing satanic rituals at her concerts.
In some rock shows there are two or three different demonic rituals that have to do with the pentagrams.
Shane Lynch has said that this music is a danger to society, because musicians are channeling the devil before everyone’s eyes.
And this has a real impact on people.
Those who attend Taylor Swift concerts have experienced post-concert amnesia.
However, there remains a subconscious substratum that it is legal and even innocent to cast spells, play with Ouija boards, talk to the dead, connect with mediums, and spiritualism.
And through that, the devil influences the young generations.
In some cases to desensitize them towards Christian values and standards, for example about sex, marriage, family, etcetera.
And in others to make them see the devil himself with more benevolent eyes, and even dare to cross the line and try to make pacts with him.
And furthermore, Shane Lynch personally stated that he has seen satanic rituals during his time in the music industry, which involved praying to the devil for albums to ensure they were successful.
Exorcists are saying that there is more and more demon influence on people and it takes longer to dislodge the demons from the possessed.
Because demons have more power, because of what we have talked about, and also the Church, which is what supports exorcism prayers, is less and less holy.
But all this about the pact with the devil is a great deception.
The pacts made with the devil end up being discouraging for most because they do not achieve what they wanted.
Making a deal with the devil does not automatically mean that the person will obtain a life of wealth, luxury, or fame.
And if he achieves any of that things—wealth, luxury and fame—he will also acquire a series of vices that will end up making a mess of his or her life.
Such as drugs, alcohol, sexual disorders, diseases, etcetera.
But in addition, a person can always repent of the pact they have made whenever they want, with a simple act of will.
When you repent, the covenant you made remains as ink on paper, regardless of the terms of the agreement.
Because God has given us freedom, and this is inalienable.
Therefore, if a person wants to get out of a life of sin that involves a pact with the devil, he must confess, ask for forgiveness, reform, and return to God. Acts of will.
Well, that’s it for what we wanted to tell about how the evil one lowers the defenses of young people to recruit them, what happens after he recruits them, and how to get out of this loss of freedom.
And I would like to ask you if you know people who you believe have made a pact with the devil and by what signs have you realized this.
