He has sought advice and direction on how to address what he believes to be preternatural events in his life occurring in his family home as far back as the age of five as best he can remember. He has addressed these issues by having talks with parents, increasing his participation in the 'Shield, using the Catholic Church's sacraments, and remaining in the state of grace. The talks with his parents have caused tension in the family, finger-pointing, denial, and have been fruitless thus far. The following is a recollection of those events and what he remembers.

At age 18, he noticed bunches of maggots on the ceilings of his home and around the house. This has occurred off and on until this day. During these appearances, there were no dead animals or rotting food in the area where they appear. During this same period, when he was stationed at Marine Corps Base Camp Johnson, North Carolina (NC), maggots have appeared in his barracks room only on his side of the room. He did not tell his parents about the maggots in his room in NC, but he overheard a conversation between mom and dad in which his mother said, "We have not had this problem since our son was in NC."
ANSWER! / COMMENT!
When he was in NC he was still diabolically afflicted – the demons were not attached to the barracks.

QUESTION? / COMMENT!
He knows his older brother, a Los Angeles Sheriff's Deputy, has also been affected. He has had several conversations with his brother, who is shacking up with his girlfriend and does not live in a state of grace. He loves his brother, but his brother is poorly catechized, and he does not comply with the perennial teachings of the Church.
Again, in the summer of 2019, he was sitting in his truck having a convo with his brother as they listened to a podcast of Jesus 911. During the discussion on battling demons and spiritual warfare, Jesse mentioned the names of several demons and then mentioned the holy Name of Jesus. At the mention of the Name of Jesus, the lid on the soda sitting in the cup holder in the truck exploded inside the cupholder, splashing soda all over him and his brother, and the interior of the truck.
ANSWER! / COMMENT!
The demons attached to one of the brothers (or maybe both) were triggered by hearing the powerful name of JESUS spoken in faith, hope and love.

He is now faithful and active in receiving his sacraments and participating in praying the Divine Office daily. He has spoken with his sister and cautioned her against receiving gifts for his 4 y/o nephew, from their parents.
ANSWER! / COMMENT!
He is precisely where he needs to be, living in a state of grace, completely disconnected to the sorcerer and growing in prayer and virtue by being part of St Michaels shield. The cultivation of a serious prayer life will keep him protected.
He should add this prayer daily (from Deliverance Prayers for the Laity by Fr Ripperger):
Commission of the Care of Soul and Body May be prayed at any time, but especially before sleeping. For oneself:
Into thy hands, Mary, I commend my body and my soul. I ask thee to provide for them and to protect them. I ask thee to protect them from the evil one. I ask thee enlighten my mind, strengthen my will, and refrain my appetites by grace. Our Lady and St. Michael, call down from Heaven the legions of angels under your command to protect me; I ask of thee all the things I ask of my Guardian Angel. My guardian angel, under thy intellectual and volitional protection I place my body. I ask thee to 20 illumine my mind and refrain my appetites. I ask thee to strengthen my cogitative power, my memory and my imagination. Help me to remember the things I should and not remember the things I should not. Help me to associate the things I should and not to associate the things I should not. Give me good clear images in my imagination. I ask thee to drive away all the demons that might affect me while I sleep (or throughout the course of the day). (Help me to sleep and, if thou should deem it prudent, direct my dreams. Help me to arise refreshed). Amen.
He should add this prayer daily (from Deliverance Prayers for the Laity by Fr Ripperger)
Prayer Against Every Evil
Spirit of Our God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, Most Holy Trinity, Immaculate Virgin Mary, Angels, Archangels, and Saints of heaven, descend upon me. Please purify me, Lord, mold me, fill me with Thyself, and use me. Banish all the forces of evil from me, destroy them, vanquish them, so that I can be healthy and do Thy Holy Will. Banish from me all spells, witchcraft, black magic, malefice, ties, maledictions, and the evil eye; diabolic infestations, oppressions, possessions; all that is evil and sinful; jealousy, perfidy, envy; physical, psychological, moral, spiritual, diabolical ailments. Cast into hell all demons working these evils, that they may never again touch me or any other creature in the entire world. I command and bid all the powers who molest me by the power of God Almighty, in the Name of Jesus Christ our Savior, through the intercession of the Immaculate Virgin Mary to leave me forever, and to be consigned into the everlasting hell, where they will be bound by Saint Michael the Archangel, Saint Gabriel, Saint Raphael and our Guardian Angels, and where they will be crushed under the heel of the Immaculate Virgin Mary – Amen.
Do this prayer in front ot the blessed sacrament with some men present as witnessed (taken from Deliverance Prayer for the Laity).
Repeat the following sentence three times; once in honor of the Father, once in honor of the Son, and once in honor of the Holy Spirit:
In the Holy Name of Jesus, I seal myself, my relatives, this room (place, home, church, car, plane, etc.), and all sources of supply in the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ. To break and dissolve all satanic seals, repeat the following paragraph three times in honor of the Holy Trinity, because satanic seals are placed three times to blaspheme the Holy Trinity: In the Holy Name of Jesus, I break and dissolve any and all curses, hexes, spells, snares, traps, lies, obstacles, deceptions, diversions, spiritual influences, evil wishes, evil desires, hereditary seals, known and unknown, and every dysfunction and disease from any source including my mistakes and sins. In the Holy Name of Jesus, I break and dissolve any and all links and effects of links with: astrologers; bohmos; channelers; charters; clairvoyants; crystal healers; crystals; fortune tellers; mediums; the New Age movements; occult seers; palm, tea leaf, or tarot card readers; psychics; santeros; satanic cults; spirit guides; witches; witch doctors; and Voodoo. In the Holy Name of Jesus, I dissolve all effects of participation in seances and divination, ouija boards, horoscopes, occult games of all sorts, and any form of worship that does not offer true honor to Jesus Christ. Holy Spirit, please reveal to me through thy grace any evil spirits that have attached themselves to me in any way. (Reflect on things which you have seen, such as: anger, arrogance, bitterness, brutality, confusion, cruelty, deception, envy, fear, hatred, insecurity, jealousy, pride, 7 resentment, or terror. Pray the following for each of the evil spirits revealed) In the Name of Jesus, I rebuke you spirit of N. I command you to go directly to Jesus, without manifestation and without harm to me or anyone, so that He can dispose of you according to His Holy Will. I thank Thee, Heavenly Father for Thy love. I thank Thee, Holy Spirit for aiding me against Satan and evil spirits. I thank Thee, Jesus, for setting me free. I thank thee, Mary for interceding for me with the Holy Angels and the Saints. Lord Jesus Christ, fill me with charity, compassion, faith, gentleness, hope, humility, joy, kindness, light, love, mercy, modesty, patience, peace, purity, security, serenity, tranquility, trust, truth, understanding and wisdom. Help me to walk in Thy Light and Truth, illuminated by the Holy Spirit so that I may praise, honor, and glorify Our Father in time and in eternity. For Thou, Lord Jesus, are, "the Way, the Truth, and the Life", and Thou "have come that we might have life and have it more abundantly". "God indeed is my savior; I am confident and unafraid. My strength and courage is the Lord, and he has been my savior". Amen. Alleluia.
Once you’ve done all of the above, don’t give it a second thought. The demon wants to keep projecting negative thoughts and your sinful past to keep you full of shame and feeling unworthy, don’t let him rent space in your mind. Focus on God who is goodness, beauty and truth and this way you “give no opportunity to the devil” (Eph 4:27 rsv) who has access to our memories, images and emotions that linger in our middle faculties. A good general confession and frequent (monthly according to Venerable Fulton Sheen) will keep you strong in the Lord.
Finally, Our Lord warned us that He would divide even our own family between those who believe and those who remain unconverted.
Luke 12:51 Do you think that I have come to give peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division; 52 for henceforth in one house there will be five divided, three against two and two against three; 53 they will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against her mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law."
Matthew 10:32 So every one who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven; 33 but whoever denies me before men, I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven. 34 "Do not think that I have come to bring peace on earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; 36 and a man's foes will be those of his own household.
St Mother Teresa once said, "I am called to be faithful, not to be successful." In other words, you just be a faithful follower of Christ, pray for their conversion and leave the rest up to the Lord. Or as St Paul said: 1 Cor 3:5-9 "What then is Apol'los? What is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, as the Lord assigned to each. I planted, Apol'los watered, but God gave the growth. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. He who plants and he who waters are equal, and each shall receive his wages according to his labor. For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, God's building."
Notice, WE plant (the Word of God) and water (pray for them) but only GOD causes the growth. HE IS A MIGHTY GOD who loves your family, more than you do.
Stay the course, keep your eyes on the prize (Heaven).
