Why have I been trained as a demonologist after 36 years in ministry?

Good question, but no direct answer!

As I was born into a Catholic family, I heard about the devil at a very young age, but it was more about right or wrong. I learned about the devil in my primary classes from third grade to sixth grade in our Catechism class.

In the ministry training course, we learn about the devil in

• Demon​ Cultural Ontology: A supernatural being: a spirit, a divine force, a semi-divine being, an evil spirit, or a malevolent force.
• Satan​ Devil, Systematic Theology
• ​Devil/Demon, Supernatural Being: The adversary of God.
• Satan​ Devil, Cultural Ontology, An Evil Supernatural Being, Preaching Theme, Supernatural Being, The adversary of God.
• Concept
• Literature

As all my training was aimed mainly at being a Chaplain, we did not learn much about the devil in Divinity courses.

WHY?

Following the Council of Vatican II and as governments became increasingly secular, religion was removed from schools, hospitals, and other institutions. Most people of the generation after mine became atheists; also, we noticed an increase in people toward spiritism and occultism, with sentences like “spiritual but not religious?

Roman Catholic parishes claim not to have enough exorcist priests; we are living in a funny world.

1966

In 1966, 14-year-old Eric Michel would be 15 at the end of that year. As mentioned, I entered the paranormal world with an essay that met the grade-height requirement set by our teacher, Mr. Cormier, on a topic of our choice. I chose UFOs.

Taking notes from a UFO bulletin, the Ufologist of Ottawa, my father, lay down on our buffet.

UFOs were one of many topics in my dad’s library…

In his collection of books, we could find:

• Sorciers d’aujourd’hui Éditions de Crémille, Genève, 1970 height books
• All paranormal books collection J’ai lu, Belline, 1977
• Mystère de la mort Presses Universitaires, France, 1943
• Cours pratique de graphologie, Henri Dangles, Paris, 1937
• Missals and other Catholic books
• And the most intriguing and wanted-to-know books for a teenager, the Grand Albert and the Petit Albert

Of course, I wasn’t allowed to read them, but when you’re a young, curious boy.

Eric Michel’s Prayer Ministry upholds the timeless Christian beliefs enshrined in the Apostles’ Creed, Nicene Creed, and Athanasian Creed. EMPM sets the captives free from oppression and demonic bondage. These profound statements have been guiding the Christian faith for centuries. We are a biblical healing and deliverance ministry. We deeply cherish the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit, Saint Michael the Archangel, and Holy Mary, who are conduits of God’s profound healing power.

At Eric Michel’s Prayer Ministry, our belief in miraculous healing through Jesus Christ is not just a part of our faith; it is central to our faith. We honour and respect the invaluable contributions of the medical professions as channels for divine healing, but we see His intervention as integral to His role in healing.

At Eric Michel’s Prayer Ministry, we acknowledge the medical profession as a channel for divine healing, but our belief in miraculous healing through Jesus Christ sets us apart. We see His intervention as integral to His identity, inspiring hope and faith in our hearts.

According to believers in possession, a demon may return after a successful deliverance meeting if proper precautions are not taken. To avoid this, a person must pray for God’s protection over their being and their home. The person remains protected because the Holy Spirit is believed to be stronger than the demons. If needed, the person may need to take other steps, such as removing certain media from their home and setting boundaries with individuals who may have “spread” the spirit(s) to them.

Certain Christian theologians have held that the wearing of a head covering by Christian females confers protection against fallen angels, which they teach is referenced in 1 Corinthians 11:3–1

I wanted to chat about something I think we’d really enjoy: joining some Facebook groups together.

1. Find Like-Minded People: Countless groups align with our interests—be it books, fitness, travel, or cooking. Joining these communities allows us to connect with others who share our passions and discover awesome new ideas.
2. Grow Our Network: Being part of these groups can open up doors for networking and collaboration. We can meet new folks who can help us grow personally or professionally, all while making new friends along the way.
3. Supportive Community: Many groups are centred around support—whether it’s for health, parenting, or creative projects. We can seek advice, share our experiences, and lift each other when we need it most.
4. Stay in the Loop: Groups often share critical info about events, promotions, or the latest trends. It’s a fantastic way to stay engaged with the topics we care about and not miss out on anything exciting.
5. Fun and Interaction: Engaging in group activities, challenges, and discussions can bring some fun to our daily lives. It’s an excellent way to make our online interactions more enjoyable.

I can help us find groups that resonate with what we love. Let’s embrace the benefits and enjoy the journey together! What do you think?

A member of the Interdenominational Assembly of Churches Ministry is a person or a group of persons who belong to a local church and wish to be part of a Worldwide Christian Association.

We are a religious organization that meets in a particular location or online. We are formally organized, with constitutions and by-laws, maintain offices, are served by pastors or lay leaders, and, in nations where this is permissible, often seek non-profit corporate status. You are a person or a Local church that often relates to denominations, connecting them with a specific tradition within the religion and sharing a broad sense of history, culture, and doctrinal heritage with other church bodies of the same tradition.

So a member is somebody who, whether by a signature or a word of commitment or promise, says, “I’m committed to people who preach the word of God, and people who commit to the one commandment of love for each other. If you say, “OK”, I want to be a part of a community, give yourself to ministering there and receiving ministry there, and advancing the cause, and I’m a part of that.”

1. In joining IAoC, you make visible your commitment to God and his people. Membership is one way to raise faith. You state before God and others that you are part of this Christian body of believers.
2. Committing by saying, “I am committed to this group of people, and they are committed to me. I am here to give, more than get.”
3. We are independent, free spirits and critical thinkers. We get an idea and run with it in the same direction as a part of something bigger than myself. I am not just an individual. I am part of a body, the Body of Christ.
4. IAoC membership keeps you accountable. When you join our association, you offer yourself to be encouraged, rebuked, corrected, and served. We are placing ourselves under leaders and submitting to their authority. We are saying, “I am here to stay. I want to help you grow, and will you help me to do the same?”
5. Joining IAoC allows you to make promises. When someone becomes a member of Eric Michel Ministries International, they make promises to pray, give, serve, attend, accept the association’s spiritual guidance, evaluate its teachings, and seek what fosters unity and peace. Membership matters more than most people think. If you want to be a person enlightened with knowledge, sign up for the association and join us.

Why pay dues to the IAoC Association?
Part of the donated funds does indeed go to help those going through hard times. Spiritual leaders have living expenses, and fellowships have operating expenses. Your donation goes towards meeting those expenses. Paying Membership Dues is part of your financial commitment to the association’s survival. Eric Michel Ministries International members are a vital part of the association.

Eric Michel Ministries International membership demonstrates your commitment to solidarity and allows us to continue working with you and partners for a better society. Eric Michel Ministries International welcomes both individual and organizational members.
