Exorcism

We comes to part two of these articles about some symbols and issues on Supernatural (TV Series) and Christianity. We comes to difficult issue about exorcism on Supernatural (TV Series) and Christianity.

On Supernatural :

And I don’t know about where the writers get the exorcism method from this TV Series. And from what sides cause there some many version about how to exorcism demons. But, the main method to exorcism is like this :

1. The Main Method

a. They trapped the demon who possess the human on the symbol. According to Supernatural Wiki.com this symbols refers to Key of Solomon. Key of Solomon is a book that created on middle-ages, some kind of magical book. This book divided into two books.

Key of Solomon-The Symbol to trap the demon on Supernatural TV Series

Book I contains conjurations, invocations and curses to summon and constrain spirits of the dead and demons, forcing them to do the operator’s will. It also describes how to find stolen items, become invisible, gain favor and love, and so on. Book II describes various purifications which the operator (termed "exorcist") should undergo, how they should clothe themselves, how the magical implements used in their operations should be constructed, and what animal sacrifices should be made to the spirits.
As in most medieval grimoires, all magical operations are ostensibly performed through the power of God, to whom all the invocations are addressed. Before any of these operations (termed "experiments") are performed, the operator must confess his sins and purge himself of evil, invoking the protection of God. Many barbarous names are also employed in the invocations, some of which are Arabic in origin, deriving from older magical texts from the Near East, while many others are clearly taken from Hebrew names of God. Elaborate preparations are necessary, and each of the numerous items used in the operator’s "experiments" must be constructed of the appropriate materials obtained in the prescribed manner, at the appropriate astrological time, marked with a specific set of magical symbols, and blessed with its own specific words.
All substances needed for the magic drawings and amulets are detailed, as well as the means to purify and prepare them. Many of the symbols incorporate the Transitus Fluvii occult alphabet.
The book contains instructions to practice necromancy, experiments of invisibility, to cause harm to others, etc., and the zodiacal time appropriate for each experiment. (about the history and further information of the symbol go to Supernatural Wiki )

b. They read some spell. Dean or Sam will read some spell in front the demons. It’s on latin. Like this :

Regna terrae, cantate Deo,
psallite Domino
qui fertis super caelum
caeli ad Orientem
Ecce dabit voci Suae
vocem virtutis,
tribuite virtutem Deo.

Exorcizamus te, omnis immundus spiritus
omnis satanica potestas, omnis incursio
infernalis adversarii, omnis legio,
omnis congregatio et secta diabolica.

Ergo draco maledicte
et omnis legio diabolica adjuramus te.
cessa decipere humanas creaturas,
eisque aeternae Perditionis venenum propinare.

Vade, Satana, inventor et magister
omnis fallaciae, hostis humanae salutis.
Humiliare sub potenti manu dei,
contremisce et effuge, invocato a
nobis sancto et terribili nomine,
quem inferi tremunt.

Ab insidiis diaboli, libera nos, Domine.
Ut Ecclesiam tuam secura tibi facias
libertate servire, te rogamus, audi nos.
Ut inimicos sanctae Ecclesiae humiliare digneris,
te rogamus, audi nos.

Ut inimicos sanctae Ecclesiae
te rogamus, audi nos.

Terribilis Deus de sanctuario suo.
Deus Israhel ipse truderit virtutem
et fortitudinem plebi Suae.
Benedictus Deus. Gloria Patri.

English Translation:

Kingdoms of the Earth, sing unto God,
Praises to the Lord
that carry above the sky
of heaven to the East.
Behold, He sends forth His Own Voice,
the Voice of Virtue.
Attribute the Virtue to God.

We exorcise you, every impure spirit,
every satanic power, every incursion
of the infernal adversary, every legion,
every congregation and diabolical sect.

Thus, cursed demon
and every diabolical legion, we adjure you.
Cease to deceive human creatures,
and to give to them the Poison of Eternal Perdition.

Go away, Satan, inventor and master
of all deceit, enemy of humanity’s salvation.
Be humble under the Powerful Hand of God --
tremble and flee -- I invoke by
us the Sacred and Terrible Name
at which those down below tremble.

From the snares of the devil, free us, Lord.
So that You may make Your Church safe to serve You freely
we ask You, hear us.
So that You may destroy the enemies of Your Sacred Church,
we ask You, hear us!

That ... the enemies of Your Sacred Church [2* see issue noted above]
we ask You, hear us!

God is frightening about His Own sacred place. [3*]
The God of Israel Himself will have thrust excellence
and strength to His Own people.
Blessed be God. Glory be to the Father.

This will forces the demons to out from the body he possessed.

2. They uses holly things or symbol like cross, holly waters to hurt and force them to go out.

On Christianity

In Christianity, exorcisms are performed using the "power of Christ" or "in the Name of Jesus." This is founded in the belief that Jesus commanded His followers to expel evil spirits in His name (Matthew 10:1,Matthew 10:8; Mark 6:7; Luke 9:110:17, (Mark 16:17). According to the Catholic Encyclopedia article on Exorcism: Jesus points to this ability as a sign of his Messiahship, and he empowered his disciples to do the same.

The Jewish Encyclopedia article on Jesus stated that Jesus "was devoted especially to casting out demons" and also believed that He passed this on to His followers; however, He was superior to them in the exorcisms."

In the time of Jesus, non-New Testament Jewish sources report of exorcisms done by administering drugs with poisonous root extracts or others by making sacrifices. (Josephus, "B. J." vii. 6, § 3; Sanh. 65b). They mention that exorcisms were done by the Essene branch of Judaism (Dead Sea Scrolls at Qumran). (taken from Wikipedia )

But in modern world today, since Christian divided into some many current they have different way to do it. But, what I shares with you is according to Protestantism. We still do it like Jesus did. The simple ritual is :

But in modern world today, since Christian divided into some many current they have different way to do it. But, what I share with you is according to Protestantism. We still do it like Jesus did. The simple ritual is :

a. If not in pinch, we usually take praise and worship Him. Pray for protection to us (who involves on exorcism) and our family so the evils can attacks them when we try to exorcism.

b. Usually we give a brief explanation in from people who possessed by demon ( of course when they still sober) about what we will do. He or she has to :

- Confess his/he sins, especially on occultism sins. Beseech for forgiveness from Jesus.

-Break the curses that fall on their life. Claims Jesus victory from dead, sins and Satan.

-Expel the demon/demons from their body.

c.We who help this process keep on eye on the person, help in pray and participates with them to expel the demon. The form of the expel always contain : the name of demons (if we know it) we order you to out in The Name of Jesus.

Some the fight will be hard and takes hours but the point is always utter the name of Jesus and cites Jesus’ victory that written on Bible. In a pinch situations, we straight to expel ritual which expels the demon/s on the name of Jesus.

Note : the most important thing is demon itself smart. They know Bible, history and languages. They not scared on Christian, Bible, cross etc. Even they can be discovered in Church or any religious places, hiding on the human bodies without anyone notices. Only Jesus and the belief on Him that makes them scared and hurt them. Spell the prays, the formulas of pray or Jesus’ name or cite Bible doesn’t help you if you not a believers.

There is a story about seven children of one Jewish spiritual leader, Skewa ( Indonesian translation) on the Apostles. They try to imitate they way Apostle Paul exorcism demon. They cite exactly what he did, take a pray in the name of Jesus but they not believers. The demon said : I know Jesus, I know Paul, but you, who are you ? " So, the demon attack them and raped them. They escape in wound. ( Apostle 19 :13-20)

The conclusion :

In the method that the Winchesters did, there are no Jesus’ name. In fact, they are not believers. So, what they do it some bullshit. Sorry, if I rough. But, spell the prayer that the Winchesters did, won’t help you.
