DO YOU NEED OUR HELP?
WHAT WE OFFER
Over 50 years of our collective expertise in dealing with spiritual disturbances:We carefully train members of our order so that they will be knowledgeable and faithful help to you.
A Christian approach that will respect your faith:
We will do everything we can to work within the structure of your faith. If your church is not able to help you, we’ll work to find one that can. But we are not in the business of taking you from your church. We respect all denominations and will try to work with your clergy if possible.
A non-judgmental attitude based in our own experience of the loving, living, Christ:All of us have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. So we won’t judge you. You’ll probably find many of us have been where you are.
Spiritual counseling that is based in scripture and traditional Christian
practice: We won’t ask you to do
anything that is adverse to scripture, or the traditional practice of the catholic ( universal) Christian Church.
Complete confidentiality
We don’t tell tales. We may request that your story be told to our members,or clergy, for
training purposes. We respect your privacy. Nothing about you,or your experiences, will be discussed publicly
without your express written permission.
We are a community of faithful Christian Knights who will pray and fight to help you
resolve your problem. We’ll do
everything we can, within our knowledge and ability to help you.We understand that spiritual disturbances can be terrifying. We do not
believe that the person involved deserves them. No one does. We will work and
fight to help restore you to a world where you are no longer troubled by these
things.We can only do that in partnership with you and within the community of
Christ. We ask that you understand that to resolve your difficulties, you will
have to be personally involved in those changes. Although we will do everything within our knowledge and power to help you, we of course, due to the nature of spiritual matters ,can make NO GUARANTEE of resolution of any spiritual situation.
What We Ask of You
To let us do an investigation:
We may bring in a group of believing, Christian, paranormal investigators to help clarify with
what you are dealing. They are experienced,fully trained, under our guidance, and will not do anything
to intentionally provoke a spirit, or open you to more attack. We really can’t help you until
we have the fullest understanding of what is happening.
To understand that our own perspective
is Christian:
We know of no other remedy to a demonic power other than Jesus Christ our Lord,
who is sovereign over heaven and earth. You don’t need to be Christian to ask
our help. But you do need to understand that our answers will come from a
Christian perspective. Some of us are Christian simply because we have seen
Christ’s power in our own deliverance.
We ask that your household be involved:
Whether or not everyone is being troubled in a situation, in our experience, everyone is involved. We can help you best when everyone is willing to participate.
Pray:
Our perspective is Christian. We find the closer a person or family are to Christ, the easier it is to resolve their issues. Prayer is simply communing with God.We have all types of resources to help you learn to pray, if that is what you need.
To do what we request:
We may ask you to use many things that are part of the Christian tradition that
may not be part of your regular denomination's practices. We often use holy water, blessed salt,
blessed medals, and incense in our practice. Our experience with these
things is that they work. You don’t need to personally believe this, but we do
need you to keep an open mind. We won’t ask you to do anything that isn’t based
in Scripture, or ancient church tradition.
To respect the schedule of your
spiritual counselors:
Your spiritual counselors will set up generous amounts of time to talk to you and support you in this
endeavor. We are self supporting and most of us have secular employment. We are not paid
by the church or supported financially by it. We understand crises, and will
respond to them. But when you are not in a crisis,we ask you follow
the schedule/appointment time, your counselor gives you and if it is no longer possible for you to keep that time, let him or her
know, and they will reschedule your time.
We ask for your patience:
Most of these situations have been, in some regard, building for years. You may
need to work with us for some time to turn these situations around. In the same
way, we understand all this involves you changing and growing. That, too takes
time. Please give us the time it takes to help you through.
We ask you NOT to engage in, "new age"practices :
There are a number of spiritual practices we’ve seen be very unhelpful.
They come out of the "new age" culture. In our experience they usually make
things much worse. While you are working with us we ask that you not involve
psychics, mediums, séances, Ouija boards, card readings or any "new age" practice
in your case. If you’re not sure a practice is "new age" ask us, we can offer you guidance in this area.
We ask that you understand that we are vowed religious, and can only do what we are permitted within our rule, and that we function under the authority of a Bishop
Only an ordained priest has the power to do certain
procedures. We’ll locate a priest to help if that is what is needed to resolve your situation.
But we have vowed strict obedience to God, our faith, our order's rule, and our Bishop Protector.
We ask you to understand that we do not work alone. You will have a team of Knights working on your case. All of them are well trained,highly experienced people of faith who have answered the call to this risky work for the
love of God. If you have a problem with a specific member of the team, let us
know. But we can help you best with a team approach. We do not do regular home visitation
without a full team approach.
We ask that you respect our protocols.Deliverance and exorcism work is dangerous by
definition, not just to you but to us as well. We do accept those risks, but we
depend on a series of rigid protocols that were adopted to minimize that risk. If you feel that you cannot work within our protocols it’s
likely we cannot help you. If that is
the case, we’ll do our best to refer you to someone who may be a better fit for you-however demonology is a relatively small field, and although we will try our best, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to locate another source of help for you.
There are other things we may ask.
We may ask you to work on attitudes and behaviors that are not helping: We have learned that certain actions, behaviors and attitudes make people more
vulnerable to negative spiritual disturbances. If that is what we think is happening in your
case, we will ask you to work on changing those actions, attitudes, and
behaviors. We are not making judgments here. We simply know from extensive experience some things help,
and some hinder.
We may ask you to find a Eucharistic church and go regularly:
A church that serves the Eucharist puts you directly in the presence of the
living Christ. Christ is the only answer we know to victory over spiritual assault,
first, last, and always. Communion brings Him to you, spiritually, physically,
emotionally and intellectually. Read the Gospel of John, chapter 6 in the Holy Bible.Christ is always our one
and only Savior. We’re not asking you to leave your church. But we might ask that
you add the Eucharist to your life.
We may ask you to seek professional counseling:
We are not mental health professionals. But we have seen, first hand, the emotional
devastation caused by spiritual assault. We can help you rebuild your life
spiritually, but most people can benefit by talking to a believing,Christian, mental health professional, about how the
experience has affected you and/or your family. A serious spiritual attack can create a
post traumatic stress condition that may have long term repercussions for those who are affected. This is not about being crazy.
Instead, it’s the very sane action of emotional healing after a time of intense
crisis. We’ll try to find you an appropriate Christian, mental health professional ,who is
knowledgeable about total emotional healing for those in the aftermath of severe spiritual assault.
We may ask you to go to for a deliverance:
If we decide that a deliverance would be helpful, we may ask you to do
that with a specially trained priest or minister. We’ll help you find the best clergy in your area, or the area closest to you, and if you prefer, make the arrangements for you.
We may consult with other Christian experts outside the Order about your
case. They will also respect your privacy, and will keep your case confidential.
.
We do not ever charge for our services.
But if your case involves more than a three hour trip from the Priory in Steelton, PA, a donation for travel expenses is appreciated. We will not refuse a case because you are not able to make that donation. We take and prioritize cases only on the basis of spiritual need. More serious and dangerous cases are fast tracked particularly if they involve children or those with special medical circumstances.
We do reserve the right to refuse or refer a case if we feel we cannot be of help.
Nothing is certain in this world. We cannot promise that we can resolve
your spiritual problem. That largely depends on the response of you and your
household. We can promise that we’ll do everything we can to help. But we
cannot make guarantees of an absolute resolution to any problem.
In the end we are all in God's hands
