How to get rid of evil spirits, demons & ghosts
Centuries old advice on how to fight and remove evil spirits
By: Glenn Dallaire
This article is especially written in consideration for those
who are being openly oppressed or attacked by demons and
evil spirits, and are seeking to rid themselves or their homes
of the influences or presence of malevolent spirits.
Having spent years studying the lives of dozens of Saints andMystics for this website, one quickly discovers the role that
God allows the demons to play for example in the lives of the
mystic-saints. God Himself explains it when He said to St
Gemma Galgani:

You will be trampled underfoot by the devils. Prepare
yourself, my daughter, the demon at My orders will be the
one that will add the last touch to my plan that I will
accomplish in you, that is, your sanctification."
-And what an incredibly hellish war the devil waged against
Gemma! Those interestedcan read more about it here.
But the point is that literally every mystic that I have read
have been assailed by the evil spirits through the express
permission of God. But then, why would God allow the demonsto attack the mystics or anyone for that matter? It is to
draw us closer to Himself. God permits, at times, the devils
to assail us, that we might turn to Him in prayer, with a
renewed trust in His love and concern for us. The
extraordinary priest St John Vianney, who's straw bed the
devil tried to burn when he was sleeping in it, once remarked
that "the devil is like a dog on a chain. He can only go so far asGod permits."
So the first rule to remember is that God is always in
absolute control, and the devil can do nothing without God's
permission.
God always seeks to draw good out of everything, and He can
draw good even out of evil, if we let Him. An excellent
example of how God draws good out of evil is the Passion and
Death of Jesus Himself. The Gospel of John says that at the
last supper Satan entered Judas and he then went and
betrayed Jesus. -You certainly know the story--Jesus was

captured, tortured, and was nailed to a Cross, and died a
torturous death. But was the death of the Son of God, this at
act of pure evil, a victory for satan and the demons? No! -it
was in fact satans defeat, because through Jesus' death onthe cross we can be forgiven of our sins, if we desire to be.
So we can readily see how God can and does transform evil
into good.
A spiritual battle must be fought with spiritual weapons
So, how does all this correlate to those who are battling with
demons, and want to rid themselves of the evil spirits? Firstlywe need to look at how Jesus fought and expelled and cast out
the demons. Among others you will certainly want to read
Mark 5:1, Mark 1:23, and perhaps the most telling is Mark
9:29 in which the apostles were unsuccessful in driving a
demon out of a boy. So afterwards they asked Jesus why they
could not drive the demon out, and Jesus replies: "This kind
can only be driven out by prayer and fasting."
Prayer and fasting!Therein lies the primary spiritual weapons
to be used to get rid of demons and evil spirits. Jesus said
prayer first, becauseprayer is the first and most important
weaponto be used against the devil. This can not be
emphasised enough! Prayer unites us to God, and draws us
closer to Him, and it is God alone who can free us from the
demonic presences. We can do nothing without He Whom
sustains us!
The other weapon against the devil that Jesus mentions is

fasting. This is self-explanatory, but what is sometimes
forgotten is thespirit that must accompany fasting. We are to
fast from food in a spirit of sacrifice in reparation for our
sins. Our sins are what separate us from God, so we are tofast in a spirit of penance and reparation for our sins, to put
us in the proper disposition that God might forgive us of
these sins. So, firstly prayer, and then fasting done in a spirit
of reparation for our sins, is the primary recourse against evil
spirits. The demons have no power over those who are closely
united to God in prayer, and who are in a state of grace.
The devil does not make peace treaties
God loves us. And because God loves us, the devil and the
demons hate us, because they hate God. "Cast all your
worries upon him because he cares for you. Be sober and
vigilant. Your opponent the devil is prowling around like a
roaring lion looking for someone to devour." (1 Peter 5:7)
Satan and the demons do not make any peace treaties. Theyknow only war. They prowl about the world constantly seeking
to ruin our souls, to cause us to despair of God's mercy, and to
drag us to hell. So, we need to follow in Jesus' holy example
and face the evil spirits head on, with courage. We must do
battle and fight the good fight. We cannot run away, because
as Father John Corapi always says "surrender is not an
option!"
Key points for Catholics in the fight against the demonic
Eucharist/Confession/Rosary/Sacramentals
Catholics are in a privileged position in the battle against the
-
7/29/2019 How to Get Rid of Evil Spirits
5/9
evil spirits, because the Catholic church has been fighting
against the powers of hell since Jesus instituted the Church
upon Peter, the first Pope, and the Apostles (the Bishops)
some 2000 years ago. For in the Holy Gospel Jesus says: "Youare Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and
the gates of hell will not prevail against it."(Matt 3:16)
Along with prayer and fasting Catholics have powerful
weapons to be used in the fight against evil presences. The
most important of these is Sacramental Confession (also
known as the Sacrament of Reconciliation) where sins areconfessed to God, and forgiveness of sins is obtained. A soul
free from sin is in a state of grace and has nothing to
fear from the devil! Along with Confession, the Mass and
the frequent reception of the Eucharist are the most
efficacious means of battling with evil. Also prayers before
the Blessed Sacrament (Eucharistic adoration) is exceedingly
powerful, because then one is praying right at the feet of theLord.
Crucifixes
The devil flees from Jesus on the cross so if you do not
already have one, get a Crucifix and have it blessed by a
priest, and place it in a appropriate and worthy place in your
home--and most especially, pray to Jesus before it each day.
Also, if you do not have one, get a crucifix on a necklace, get
it blessed and wear it with devotion and prayer.

Prayers to the Virgin Mary, the
Saints and Angels
(Pictured to the left is the Virgin Mary crushing the head of
the evil serpent)
By the express power and will of God, the most Blessed VirginMary, the Angels and the Saints assist us in our battle with
evil. Jesus gave us His Mother while He was dying, hanging
between heaven and earth upon the Cross (John 19:26). And
next to Jesus, our Mother in heaven is our greatest help and
advocate against the devil and his minions. And the greatest
prayer asking for our Blessed Mothers help is the most Holy
Rosary. The Rosary is a chain that binds the evilspirits. Those interested might want to read more on
the Blessed Virgin Mary's role in the battle against the
demons here.

Along with the Blessed Virgin Mary certain Saints and Angels
are especially powerful against the wickedness of the devil. St
Michael the Archangel for example---the prayer to him has
been recited for over a century and is exceedingly powerful---"St Michael the archangel, defend us in battle. Be our
defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O'
Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, cast
into hell satan, and all the evil spirits, who prowl about
the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen."
Throughout the centuries, the relics of the Saints have shown
to be exceedingly powerful against the demons. Pray to the
Saints, and if possible keep a relic on your person.
Catholic sacramentals
Sacramentals, especially holy water and blessed salt should be
sprinkled in the affected areas of the home, and the holywater and blessed salt should be sprinkled on one's food and
drink to protect from within. (*see note about exorcised holy
water and salt below). Along with the relics of the Saints,
blessed medals and holy cards carry with them the blessing of
the Catholic Church, and the protection of the Saint whose
image is on the medal or holy card. Also, the burning
of blessed candles and blessed incense is recognised to be a
very powerful weapon against the demons.
And so, to summarize the spiritual weapons needed to rid
oneself or one's home of evil spirits:
-

8/9
First and foremost is prayer which draws us closer to God;
fasting in a spirit of reparation for one's sins; Confession;
Holy Communion; Eucharistic adoration; Prayers to the Blessed
Virgin Mary, the Angels and Saints, asking for their heavenlyhelp and intercession; and the usage of Sacramentals (holy
water, blessed salt, holy cards, medals, burning of blessed
candles and blessed incense etc.). Abandon and renounce any
sin in your life. Additionally, if your home appears to be the
source of the demonic infestation, then it would be very
prudent to get it blessed by a priest.
Additional important considerations
In closing, those oppressed by evil spirits should remember
that faith, hope and love--most especially love, will help
disarm the demons that plague them or their dwelling. The
devil seeks to drive us to the opposite of faith, hope and love-
-that is doubt, despair and hatred---most especially despair.
Do not not despair! Love and trust in Jesus and He willconquer and cast out the evil spirits.
Also, those who have ever engaged in dark practices such as
demonic worship, invoking and calling upon the dead (thru ouija
boards, medium and psychic practices etc) the occult, dark
forms of witchcraft and wicca, black magic etc. MUST
RENOUNCE THESE PAST PRACTICES before God and
sincerely repent and ask for forgiveness for having engaged in
them. Such practices offend God and open a portal to the
demonic, and therefore the portal must be closed through
sincere repentance and the desire for the mercy and
-

forgiveness of God.
Finally, ask Jesus to pour out His precious blood upon you and
your loved ones because the precious blood of Jesus isinfinitely powerful.
*Note: There is a special ritual of prayer called an "exorcism
blessing" that any Priest can recite to give salt and holy water
a special blessing. This exorcised salt or holy water is
especially powerful against evil spirits.
