I know Michael from back home. I haven’t talked to him since 2013 and I couldn’t believe this was him. I am praying for you Michael. May God grant you peace, long life and happiness.
@@jonathanhendry9759 You watched the interview, right? He explained all that. High school age is plenty old enough to do some terrible things, even assault and murder. It’s enough that he told us he worshipped the evil one. We don’t need details. Perhaps you’ve been fortunate enough to live where the worst they do is D&D. Let’s not worry about what exactly he did but rejoice in his conversion. That’s the big story.
This man is so sweet. He’s sharing his story, but he’s gingerly protecting us from the harsh, dangerous parts of it. I feel so cared for. God bless him!
It is worse than this. Some testimonies are more graphic than others. None of them tell you everything, just a small part. Some of them can be very disturbing. But both Protestants or Catholics that were once involved in this are all against anything involving the occult or darkness such as Halloween.
@@panninggazz5244 There are some demonic and depraved experiences that should not be shared to those who might be vulnerable. It can create an opening, the way his "friend's" witch mother opened him to those experiences. We all have a peverse curiosity. It can vary as to topic but "discretion is the better part of valor." It is better not to name these things.
@@butterification He doesn’t want to tell anyone how to do spells or encourage it. Plus, he said he didn’t do the creepy, “probably criminal” initiation.
We bought a house 2 yrs ago and I've been hearing voices and sensing something standing next to my bed at night. It doesn't feel bad but still it's unnerving. A few months ago I started praying again as I lay in bed and I do say out loud that only Jesus is welcome in my home and all others must leave. I haven't had any issues since.
@@De3e3Through Christ? I mean no disrespect, but didn’t Lucifer rebel against God because he placed Man above the angels? Demons are just those angels that chose to follow Lucifer, wouldn’t we have always had command over them? It’s my understanding that Jesus was sent to form a new covenant with Man, and his sacrifice was to replace the live animal sacrifices that the Jews were making. I’m sure there is more nuance to it. There are stories of Christ descending to bell in order to steal sin from Lucifer, IIRC. Would it be stealing? That may be the wrong term as theft is certainly a sin. Language is so muddy at times.
I'm not sure how or why this video came up in my feed. The experience Mr Davis is talking about is something I've been through and I have never spoken about my experience with similar matters. Because of the combined effort, I now can understand that I've never been alone in my struggles. Thank you, Micheal, for being so willing to help, for your tearful gut wrenching honesty. God bless you. Keep guarding your heart, and stay beautiful.
I am a former tarot card reader and new age follower. I fully understand why he didn't want to speak in detail about some of his experiences. Satan uses the mind (ie memories) against us. There are nights where I've had to sleep with a Bible under my head due to the images that demons tried to project. It can be incessant, grotesque, and frightening. I praise Jesus and thank God daily for setting me free. The battle is daily, in breaking the chains of witchcraft, but I am willing to take the suffering to spare another from the devil. Thank you for your testimony! ✝️
Please look into the believers authority. We have the authority to use His name in these situations, those unclean spirits don't have a legal right over your mind. Just as a police officer has the delegated authority backed up by the power of the law and it's institutions, we have a greater delegated authority backed up by the promises of God which are all "yes and amen" (2 cor 1:20). That includes protection and peace etc. Please look into what the Word says about the believers authority.
@@jenlbirke my friend hold on to your rosary when you sleep or put it under your pillow. That is the sword that will cut through and lead you to Jesus.
You probably need deliverance, and also you cannot just repent but you have to renounce and denounce each practice and agreement you came into while dabbling in that.
This is living proof that Jesus can redeem every living person. Never give up on those in your life that have fallen away. The prodigal son returned. Love this, Matt. ❤
Jesus died a long time ago. He was a martyr for the cult he started in opposition to Judaism. He was a superstitious narcissitic pacificist who wanted to be worshipped as a God but fell to the same fate of most ppl who rebelled against the Roman Empire.
I want to applause Michael for his sincerity and how cautious and wise he was during the interview. It was touching and beautiful ! God bless him and his family !
@@butterificationwhat are you on about?! It doesn’t matter the reason. Hes repented and telling his story without feeding your curiosity. That’s why you’re mad. I’m sure you can look it up somewhere what those rituals were.
It normally gets on my nerves when people cry because it often seems forced for effect, but Michael's tears are 100% sincere. He is darling. My heart is warmed by him.
It’s a testimony of the Catholic church not Jesus Christ. Considering we’re not saved by works, if one can’t receive sacraments isn’t a sign of none possession. The sign is if you don’t want to say Jesus is Lord, Romans 10:9. Children of God are possessed by the Holy Spirit. Focus, minister testify about Jesus Christ not Satan. Ephesians 1:13
I am new to this channel and greatly intrigued. I was raised Roman Catholic but left organized religion in my 20s, though I've kept belief in God. I'm nearly 70 now and these discussions are causing me to reassess as nothing else has done.
Wonderful interview and testimony! I was saved while in a same sex marriage where I had given birth to two children via sperm donation. That was 10 years ago. Life is messy but Jesus is awesome! Lead back to Rome two months ago after 10 years in the Evangelical Church! God bless Pints with Aquinas! ❤🎉❤
I’ve had offers from Sean McDowell and other Evangelical Christians to interview me and I’ve always turned them down but maybe now after I’ve returned home I will do an interview ❤sending all my Love ❤
The same opportunity was offered to me also in middle school. My friend took me to a Wiccan store… I immediately felt the evil and never touched anything and never went back. I was a very broken kid at that point- but I had enough knowledge of the faith to ask my angel for help and I ran the other way. Seven years later I gave my life to Christ as a religious sister. St. Therese said the only difference between her and St. Mary Magdalene was that Our Lord lifted the rock so she wouldn’t trip on it (aka mortal sin). I know it was only His grace. When I listen to stuff like this I feel so grateful for the protection around my life that I in no way deserved. Astounding!
@@jbeauty4150 it’s just a slight difference in the way of life/ vow really. Sisters generally work outside the convent- nuns are cloistered. It’s a pretty interchangeable word.
So much of my conversion story matches with yours, Michael, though I'm from the Southern US and my home background is Non-Denominational and my childhood was "less than idyllic." In high school, I befriended a Wiccan girl, but very quickly moved past Wicca to a pagan restorationist sect dedicated to Apollo. Without getting too deep, I never went as far down the rabbit hole as you did though I was a favorite of our priest who began to groom me and train me as his acolyte. I was (blessed be God) saved from that situation by a good philosophy professor in college who was a Thomist, very patient, and more holy than he could know. I'm not sure if he knows that his Intro to Philosophy class is directly responsible for the beginning of my conversion. I sojourned through Buddhism too, and Yoga, and through the mercy of God ended up in the True Faith. I was received and baptised into the Church at the Easter Vigil in 2013. Blessed be His Holy Name.
@@Anna-jb7ll Yoga, when practiced fully, is a religious expression of Hinduism which seeks to balance the body with the mind and soul and achieve oneness with the "trimurti" (the three forms of Brahman who is the universal god: Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva). It is possible to perform the movements devoid of devotional intent, but it is something that ought to be avoided by the spiritually vulnerable and those directly connected to them under St. Paul's advice concerning meat sacrificed to idols.
I want to thank Michael Davis for his generosity in coming to this interview and sharing these very personal experiences. It is a very generous act and will be appreciated by many people, including me.
Michael, you are doing a great thing by telling your story. Our entire culture has been captured; kids are easy targets for all this, and parents are told to accept, affirm, “understand,” etc. God bless you for your honesty and courage-it is clear that this is not easy for you. I cried with you, dear.
I love this interview. It really gives me hope for my children who have turned away from God. It also reminds me of my conversion, I have always been a Catholic, but I became a “born again” Catholic in the way that I truly adore going to church and I try my best to be a good Christian Catholic. I went through the tears stage like him as well. It’s a beautiful feeling. When I go to communion, I talk to God on my way up and plead forgiveness (besides confession). I always feel like I’m walking towards heaven when I go to communion. God bless him for allowing this interview and God bless you for interviewing him.
I legit haven’t cried that hard watching an interview ever in my life. This was a powerful witness to the infinite love of God the Father and through His Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ. Amen.
@anthony...., Yes! This interview was beautiful. I cryied with Michael too. God is great, God is all we need to live, now and forever. Our Lord Jesus Christ, have marcy on us! Amen. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I appreciate that he withheld info that could compromise the souls of others. He really didnt want to put himself in that headspace either. I respect that. Thank you for sharing
@@smokyquartz5817it's not a slippery slope. It's a cliff face and many fall the whole distance. If you are lucky enough to grab hold of something you will find yourself being pulled as you climb back. Why would the saved condemn another with information leading to a path of damnation. To qoute the late Sir Christopher Lee: "you will not lose only your mind, but your soul" in reference to a warning he left a room full of college students when questioned on his rumored knowledge and collection of occult works.
Fellow Massachusetts resident here! Grew up in Amesbury. I fell into the occult at age 13 and only this year at 34 I have found my way back to my Catholic faith. The stories I could tell. So happy to be home ❤
I am a baby Christian, was saved in January. But boy am I feeling convicted about Catholicism as of late, the work they do with exorcism, their work of confession. Really appeals to me
As a Satanist I greatly attest to excorsism. It's a pretty disturbing thing considering people continue to die during them. I don't really care what you do religiously but if people are dying repeatedly during a ritual you do then maybe it's time to stop.
@@brob368 I mean almost all Satanists agree that excorsism is a bad ritual. A father killed his son during an excorsism in 2019. And in 2021 a man killed his father during an excorsism. Respectfully I think Christians should be ashamed for refusing to denounce excorsism for the harm it has caused throughout history. I grew up in a Christian family and at one point could have been considers a son of God. Then I became atheist (anti-religious) for what I couldn't bear to see the religion I grew up in doing. Fortunately I got over my anti religious predispositions and rediscovered Satanism as something I truly believe in. I am what many call a "Compassionate" Satanist (the fastest growing sect) so I'm not involved with the Church of Satan.
@@borontv6400 are these reports from people not trained in exorcisms? Who maybe didn’t know what they were doing? I would bring to your attention that compassion and Satan don’t mix, so I’m not sure why you would call yourself a compassionate satanist, you would just say you’re compassionate. Satan by definition is the enemy of God and his creation, he doesn’t love you, he does love that you’re away from God though and I am sorry for whatever Christian became a stumbling block in your life, Christian’s aren’t perfect and they shouldn’t be self righteous.
When Matt read that prayer around 52:00 I felt something lift in me that I was hardly aware was clasping down, this strange paranoia and anxiety. Oh the subtle power of evil, but how triumphant the power of God. These prayers work
But why at the end of this prayer (1:24) did the host make the sign of the cross in the way the Orthodox churches do it, but certainly NOT Catholics !? That's kinda strange for a channel named after Thomas Aquinas, isn't it !?
I worked with the Pregnancy Care Center in Haverhill, MA and during my pro-life activities in that area met a woman whose autobiography was so horrific that I threw the book away after reading it so my children would never have to. There was a lot of darkness in Haverhill, but the light does continue to shine through.
I've been listening to this for two or three weeks now. Haven't finished it yet. I can only take about 10 minutes. This unassuming guy is bringing me to tears every time. You capture the essence of what brought me to Christ. Even though i wasn't a Satanist. You don't have to be a Satanist to worship Satan every day of your life. I'm still struggling every day. But this is bringing me immense hope.
Man, that prayer at the beginning of the podcast was POWERFUL. I would almost consider doing that at the beginning of each episode. It hit me like a BRICK and got my spirit ready to unify with you and the message. Thank you!
But why at the end of this prayer (1:24) did the host make the sign of the cross in the way the Orthodox Churches do it, but NOT Catholics !? That's kinda strange, isn't it !? Especially on a channel that is obviously named after St. Thomas Aquinas, one of the most important Catholic theologians and saints !
My dad asked for concfession , I reluctantly got a Priest for him as he blamed God out loud for having a stroke … he had confession and last rights and died on the 22nd February at 3 pm , he called out to me as I was saying the Divine Mercy Chaplet ❤️, hours after having confession and Last rights 🙏 Gods mercy is immense! 22nd February is the date St Faustina was given the image of Divine Mercy
Prayed Divine Mercy next to my Fathers bed in the USA the summer before he passed away. Then we flew back to Europe. Felt it would be the last time I would see him. Then October 5th he passed away. That is Sr.Faustina's death day! Can't someone get that man a Kleenex!!?? The interviewer should have a BOX near by.
I've watched many of your videos and podcasts, and I'm only 30 minutes into this one, but wow it's incredibly gripping. What a story. I had some ties with a similar past as him, but not NEARLY to the same level, thank God. But I was adjacent to it, so it sends shivers down my spine to think about. But this man is very humble, and his honesty is palpable. I'm very glad he found Christ, or Christ found him. Whichever would be the proper way to put it. Thanks for sharing and posting this. *Edit* This video has brought me to tears. What an incredibly beautiful interview. Such a gift to be able to listen to this. I'm at the part about Mary, and it is just truly beautiful.
wow i definitely have a similar experience. i was baptized and converted this year after years of satanism, wiccan, new age, and it was a crazy scary experience i would never want for anyone. i was exposed to it very young at age 11 and i lost my absolute mind and never thought to connect it to my distorted beliefs. this is a *dangerous* curiosity for your mind, body, and soul. may God bless you all and pray to keep yourself close to God. God can stop the demons, but you have to close the door on them as well.
I am watching this in complete awe that this gentleman was able to get out of this! I dabbled in the occult and have recently come back to God. While watching this I felt compelled to just jump up and gather everything I had relating to the occult and immediately running it to the garbage bin. Wow, this has been such a powerful interview. Thank you!
@@DeprogrammedSnowflake he gave a health warning at the beginning and then clasped his hands and began talking to a supernatural entity, yet couldn't see it was exactly the same as the fellow who believed he was in communication with demons. They were both imagining it all. We dream our lives away.
What an absolute breathtaking interview. I críed along; i understand him so well; I practiced Wicca from about 12 ,and even after stopping it’s spiritual after math affected me until the age of about 27. I think I’m most grateful to see how he sobbed frequently. This happens to me and I found it embarrassing because I felt like I was being hyperbolic and subconsciously doing it for show of true metanoia. But to see this; I know this. The heart nearly ruptures because the love held for God and our Blesses Lady-is so great. I understand when he said “(God) is so good to me, I suck”. I know that feeling. To be loved wholly when you are unworthy. Such a humbling and washing feeling. Such a good episode! Viva Cristo Rey!!💕💕
I was raised Wiccan(pagan) and much of my early years from pre-teen on into my late 20’s I practiced. I in fact still to this day have my fathers wand. I say this because this gentleman is the first Christian person in all my life that I believe actually lived what he describes. I believe too many Christian’s try to sensationalize their stories to make it more of an “exciting” testimony especially in the Protestant, Baptist and Evangelical(prosperity types) circles. It’s not that they’re lying but embellishing… it’s hard for me to take people like that seriously knowing the world I came from was so much more subtle and dangerous BECAUSE of its subtlety. I have seen and experienced too many supernatural things in my life to deny a vail that separates natural from supernatural. But witchcraft and paganism put on a very friendly welcoming facade up unto the point it’s too late for you or you’ve discovered the mess you’re in and want out. You see, most Christian’s believe that witchcraft is the open worship of satan and that simply isn’t the truth. Satan disguises witchcraft as a good thing, something that can connect one to their natural world, supernaturally. Or as a vehicle of earthly Justice rater than Holy Justice. Majority of witches or those that practice witchcraft are not in fact evil by any stretch… in fact, they’ve been quite duped.
Good point. There’s a friar from the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal (CFRs) in Ireland and he has a video where he said “there are no neutral spirits.” Hit me like a ton of bricks. I have pagan friends that are genuinely trying to do good, but they don’t know that all the supernatural spirits are either God’s holy angels, or demons who have denied God. There are no spirits “in between” or “light spirits.” But it’s hard to see that with the façade of “positive vibes” all over it. I am hopeful though for my pagan friends because at least they recognize that there is a physical/natural world AND a spiritual/ supernatural world. Many atheistic materialists can’t even have a convo about God. Praying that the true light of Christ will break prisoners free and heal all who have been damaged by false idols ❤️
If I may recommend another powerful testimony, look for Zachary King. Also, on a side note: in the Christian Faith, it's not about being a "good person". It's about being in a good place before God. No one is a good person, really. We either cooperate with the graces God keeps pouring on us, or we don't. To believe somehow one is "good" is a dangerous path to damnation.
Yes, the progression of witchcraft can be subtle. Thats because most witches are completely unaware of what their practices are about. Witchcraft has been packaged with a New Age twist…as using “energies,” manifesting, honoring the elements of nature, casting (both good & bad) spells to affect change they desire, etc. And even though there is a wide range of practices, most witches are sternly adamant that their practices avoid or reject Satan. Which is why witchcraft seems so subtle…or should we say duplicitous. Most witches chant that they “do no harm” & are merely working with good or retributive intentions. But the reality is…they are unaware of the dark, hidden powers behind those false promises. And regarding what Christians (as well as most people regardless of religion) believe….very few believe witchcraft is “open worship of satan.” If anything, Christians see the hidden devil behind witchcraft…even though most witches themselves don’t see or believe it. And true…there is a LOT of embellishment on the internet. But sadly, not all of it is embellished. Much goes way beyond the simple Wiccan ritual circles. There is a *massive* range of evil practices, cults and sick people in the world. Some of which is so evil, that most wiccans and witches would be shocked. .
Matt shows his stuff here, truly thoughtful and intelligent questions. Matt allows Michael speak and find his way without interruptions and digressions. Great work, thank you!
So I was hesitant to watch this, and here is why. As Catholic, I started looking for faith content, miracles and spiritually edifying content. This included looking at conversion stories. One of the stories was a ‘converted’ satanist…and he was under the tutelage of a Catholic priest. The problem was he was speaking to young teens at a school and he was getting detailed about how high in the Satanist realm he got. He was talking about he got all the girls he wanted, money, cars, power…that supposedly he never had to do anything illegal or really bad, but somehow he ended up being the main Satanist. It sounded more like he was recruiting kids by explaining the benefits. He would say how you should not do it and pray the rosary and such, but it gave me really bad vibes that he might be a wolf in sheep’s clothing. This young man approached it the way I would expect a genuine convert to approach the topic. God bless him and his conversion.
You are spot . I’m the same. This is the most genuine and sincere Satan to Christ conversion story I ever watched. It was so intense I couldn’t watch it in one go. He didn’t dwell on the glamour of it in fact his testimony terrified me a little. Praise God for Michael’s conversion. ❤
Talking to kids about this stuff should be done very carefully, I agree. It's not wise to compare conversion stories though. I only stick to known Catholic podcasters and vloggers especially exorcists. It's the safest way to learn about these things.
"He was talking about he got all the girls he wanted, money, cars, power…that supposedly he never had to do anything illegal or really bad, but somehow he ended up being the main Satanist." He was lying. A bunch of people have made up fake conversion stories like that and used it to build a career. They always claim to be the lead satanist, not a mere hanger-on. They always claim to have had access to wealth and sex, which is absurd given they're always talking about some hick town "cult". The math doesn't work out. One example of this is Mike Warnke, who made a career out of talking and writing about his conversion from satanism, but was exposed as a fraud by the Christian magazine Cornerstone. I'm sure this guy is lying or exaggerating hugely and he actually only listened to heavy metal and played some dungeons and dragons, neither of which make you a satanist.
Wow!! This is so beautiful!! I am actually in tears myself watching this. The love of God is so powerful ❤. I love this podcast. I am a 43 year old single mom from Georgia USA. I was raised pentecostal. I lived in sin for years. I was born again in Jesus a couple of years ago. God bless you Matt and your family as well. Love you ministry.
God bless you, brother. Welcome back to the loving arms of the Father, through the Son, by the Holy spirit! I was an atheist for quite a long time, I've had many sins above my head that I thought I'd never escape, but Christ can carry the heaviest crosses and conquer the darkest abysses. Praise the Lord, our saviour! God bless us all!
Michael is obviously a pure, gentle & innocent soul (which initially led him astray). It's probably why God, Jesus & Our Blessed Mother protected & continue to protect him. God bless you Michael for a very touching testimony.
I cannot tell you how much I appreciate this. From mainline Protestant to pagan to Catholic is my own story as well. But man, I'm glad I didn't get pulled into the trap. Thank you for sharing this so much.
Michael exudes humility. And the indication of this is the he cares so much how much what he says might influence the viewers negatively. God bless him
Wow. I am so beyond thankful for this powerful, beautiful testimony. Although I could not relate to the pagan/satanic part of Michael’s conversion story, there were some significant aspects of his faith journey that I do relate to. His tears were, for me, tremendously meaningful. I had to watch this in stages, with pauses due to my own weeping. I’m somewhat of an emotional sort anyway, but I’ve had some encounters with Jesus in the Eucharist that have totally undone me like nothing else.
I want to say something to a very specific group of people who might be watching this (if you know, you know). If you are struggling because you doubt your salvation for "selling your soul", know that you can't sell what isn't yours. God knew your name before you were even in your mothers womb, and His mercy is enduring. See that you doubt not the grace that is offered to you. He has not appointed you for wrath, but rather the one who tried to steal you from Him. May God grant you peace in the firm knowledge of the salvation offered by the cross. Amen.
I usually cant watch an interview with a person crying once or throughout. But Michael seemed so genuine, I couldnt help but become emotional myself and not wanting to skip out on his story. May God bless this man going foward
I was born in his hometown of Haverhill. Salem, MA is a beautiful port town but absolutely evil! I bought items from there, subsequently got involved in studying Tarot, Oracle cards, Kundalini yoga and went down a horrible spiritual path that led to terrifying sleep paralysis, a demon having sex with me, and a dark shadow presence in my room for several nights. After one terrifying encounter at the 3am hour where i "awakened the serpent" at the base of my spine, I was so terrified with the demonic presence that took over my body that i ran out of my house at 340am, and the next day I brought all those items to a Catholic church to have them burned. I then went to confession. That was a pivotal moment in my spiritual life. It is all very seductive at first and then it controls you. Stay away!
It’s also dumpy & drug addled now. I still like going (not on Halloween) but Portsmouth is way better. Salem has heaps of nutters & cRaZy women…it’s kinda a joke now…
Incredible interview, and very moving. Michael’s conversion story is a great testament to the power and love of Jesus Christ, our Sovereign Lord. The serpent is no match for Jesus, or for His Mother, Mary! The devil is referred to as the “ancient serpent” in Scripture, but the Trinity is even more ancient. God always wins. Viva Christo Rey!
Are you serious!!! No match for Jesus is very true, and for his mother Mary, that is blasphemy, Jesus is God, and you just made Mary equal with him, you are in great error, please read the Scriptures!!!
@@emilclark645@emilclark645 Do as Jesus did... Jesus loved His mother, and so should we. Her fiat, not just at the annunciation, but her entire life raising Jesus and loving Him perfectly, helped bring the redemption. That is why we call her co-redemptrix, not because it was she who died for us, but she who denied her will like Christ, for the will of the Father. We are all, in some way, co-redemtrists, since we are all called to be the hands and feet of Christ, bringing the Word to our brothers and sisters. But we honor Mary, for Jesus was man and God and his Divinity and humanity cannot be seperated; they are one, and he was formed in the womb of a woman; hence we call her, Mother of God. That does not place her above God in anyway. But she bore the God-man. She suffered and pained as a mother but with more love than any mother, since she was perfected by God. She had to be, otherwise she couldn't have given birth to something pure and perfect. She was purified according to God's plan, she could not by her sin crucify her own son, nor could she sin while she bore him. Nor throughout her life, her special calling to raise him she could not both aid in redemption and also work against it. She's the model for us, on how to LOVE JESUS BEST. She's not the way the truth and the life, but she leads you to it with a mother's hand, she leads you to her Son. Everyone in heaven has achieved some share in the glory of God, in the mission of God and of the bringing of His Kingdom, the Kingdom of the Divine Will. (where we all follow God's will, like Mary, like Jesus... perfect love and unity in one Body, the Body of Christ) Marys mission is the highest Mission after Jesus, because she is His mother. She is the daughter of the Father, the Spouse of the Spirit, and the Mother of the Son. We are all called to be a Spouse to the Spirit, submissive (sub-mission, under the mission of) to the Will of He. To love Mary is to love Jesus; when you have a friend who you care about, don't you want them to love your mom as well, since you care about her most? When Jesus gave her St. John as her son, and St. John her as her mother, that was for all of us. She is there to help teach us wisdom, she understood the divine mysteries best, as she partook in them... Meditate with the Rosary, it's looking at Jesus through Mary's eyes. If the key is to love Jesus more and more, why not ask His mother how? We are her children too, since we are entirely one with Christ through the redemption, body blood soul and Divinity. Hence his mother is our mother.
@@emilclark645 And I will make enemies Of you and the woman, And of your offspring and her Descendant; He shall bruise you on the head, And you shall bruise Him on the heel.' Genesis 3:15. Either you are a child of Mary (Christ) or a child of the world (the devil) ! Mary is full of grace... full of wisdom, understanding, etc... asking her to pray for you is like asking a friend to pray for you, but better, because she is so close to God... Hail Mary, full of grace, The Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women, And blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

She loves you so much and wants to help you discover God's will for your life and bring you closer to her son!!!! 😊
I understand Michael Davis very well as I obliquely contacted this evil dimension through a relationship. This evil world is real. Thankfully, I returned to my Catholic Church and received compassionate help from the priests there. I am still working on releasing obsession or oppression, as this is how my priest who spent some time with me described my state. He said it would slowly go away. He gave me specific instructions on how to proceed. I am deeply grateful.
I am not quite sure why this channel and channels like it popped up in my feed 3 days ago, as I am not someone who is “troubled” or “lost” but I am thinking that maybe there is a reason it did. I have always had a “normal” life and have always tried to be a good person. I was raised catholic but once I left my family home when 18 to begin college and my journey through life, I never returned to the church. Although I may not return to the catholic faith, I feel the reason this type of program popped up in my feed is God hinting to me that I need to restore my faith in him, even if not as a catholic. I love your interviews and open mindedness to learning about different viewpoints and how people have reconnected to God and their spiritual faith.
You discount the power of evil to destroy lives at your own peril. Jesus is lord, His power will prevail, but Satan will destroy many who believe themselves immune simply by having knowledge of Jesus but not the necessary relationship.
@@edwordwretch3419did you just call the mother of Christ a woman of Satan? There is definitely someone here who is worshipping Satan through blasphemy towards God and His disciples and it isn't this man. It's you. Come to Christ and may your soul be saved.
Ok I’m crying. I was saved from earth goddess paganism. I was so ignorant and just wanted to love and spread love. It all seemed so harmless and “light” 💔🙏🏻
Good, it can lead to some very dark things if your heart becomes dark enough. I knew a guy a few years ago who did a very specific ritual to Gaia to get back at his ex-wife for taking the kids and turning them against him, and within a day of that ritual the mother of his children died in a car crash. The [adult] kids still avoided him so it was pointless to his real desire. Unfortunately he was anti-Christian, even tried to talk me out of Christianity saying Peter became a tyrant or something, and I assume never sought repentance for performing that witchcraft at that point in time. This guy at the time of talking with him was a bikrum yoga teacher
That's what happens when we put some thought and effort analysing the things we do in life as humans. As the saying goes, "hell is full of good intentions ".
@user-ly3li3ex8c if the man who cast the spell on his ex wife was a yoga teacher... means either he was a Hindu or he was practicing Hinduism. Yoga is part of Hinduism. And the words they chant are evoking the demons. Stay away from yoga. Anyway... the ex wife, might have got killed by the Hindu practicing man's evil spell. Hopefully she was not a practicing hindu.... hopefully, she was saved by the Real God - Jesus. Jesus is merciful to us when we are alive on Earth so we have to avail of His mercies. Because, after our death - it is only judgement.
I shut this video off, didn't want to open any door, then it popped up later and I finished listening. I shed tears with him when he converted at the Alter rail!
Mr. Fradd, you have quite the Protestant following and I dare say God is opening the eyes of many to see that he IS working through the Catholic Church! I’m a Protestant and I love this channel. I’m so thankful that there are real Catholics out there, not just C&E ones. I do have an issue with Maryology, but maybe I’m right, maybe you are. I don’t think it’s a salvation issue. I’m sure many of our ancestors, both Catholic and Protestant, who were believers went to heaven and found out, “Oops, I shouldn’t have done….” All in all, I’ve been looking for a Catholic Church in the Hamilton, Ontario area that is truly conservative and Bible believing and NOT woke. If someone knows, please let me know!! Your sister in Christ in Canada! 🇨🇦🇦🇺🇺🇸
The story about his grandpa, just happened to my dad who died 1 week ago… atheist anticlerical, received his last rites, thw day after lost consciousness and died last Sunday! Hail Mary! Praise All Loving Father!
In AA we tell our stories fairly often, because our experiences can help newcomers. If you focus on that, then the past doesn’t touch you. I cried a lot at first while telling those, it was difficult, but as time went on, we almost laugh at our mistakes, our faith in God deepens. We don’t close the door to our past, don’t forget it, we see it how it was - foolish mistakes that led to God, there is a happy ending! so nothing is scary, your experience is a treasure on its own, use it for good. Praise God. Thank you for the episode. 🙏🏻
I always tell people about my experience with the supernatural. Just about 2yrs ago, a few months before my mom passed and right after she passed, we had a large amount of negative paranormal experiences. From shadows as tall as doorways, to a faceless grey figure with no hair in a full body apparition peeking from beyond walls or open doors, to physical items being thrown. A lot of the things were directed at me mainly, my cell phone was thrown off the table in the home office, i would hear voices and think that im developing a mental illness. It all ended after we asked our local pastor to do a cleansing of our land and home.
I have cried like that - rivers- the times I was a ‘prodigal daughter ‘ and then I came home.. I call them ‘Holy Spirit tears.’ They are the BEST tears in the world!! Praise God.. Mercy triumphs over judgment.. ‼️‼️💖❤️🩷💕LOVE this testimony..
I'm grateful that my outspoken mother came down hard on me when she learned I was dabbling with something not of God, even though at the time I thought she was just being narrowminded and uptight. Praying for those confused people out there who are just looking for love or comfort and looking in the wrong place.
I was raised in a family with pelagianistic vibes, like, if you seek virtue is enough. The sayings from a noun that I’d become a priest in the Catholic school always echoed in my mind, and with 33 yrs old, during trying times, I finally started moving towards Christ. Even with a lot of errors during this journey, I have faith that now I’m doing the right move coming closer to the Catholic Church! God bless your efforts spreading the word!
Praying for Michael, that Lord protects him from all of the temptations of the demonic traps & that he keeps his eyes on Jesus, doesn’t entertain the ideas that might appear in his mind, shuts them down immediately & that Lord helps him to reduce the degree of temptation/curiosity if that appears.
"Anglo-Catholic with Orthodox sympathies" he defined where I am currently! My sense is that this path will lead me to become fully Catholic. The interview was profound. Many will be able to relate to parts in his journey. Thank you both.❤
Listen, I want you to honestly think about this. Jesus was a Jewish Baptist. He created Christianity which used to be originally called "The Way". Romans killed Jesus. Where did the Catholic Church come from? Rome. This is why when you read the Torah "Holy Bible" Catholics break SoooOoo many of Gods laws. Constatine who created the Holy Roman Empire "Catholicism" used to kill Christians. He would burn them alive and watch animals eat them alive and be torn apart. He would throw Christian babies to bears in a public setting. People around the city started realizing these people weren't afraid to die. In fact, they embraced it. Catholics are literally the direct lineage of the people that killed Christ. They are labeled in the Torah as being the first beast in end times. Look at Paganism, now look at Christianity. Now look at the difference. The difference is when Constatine converted his army and land to Christianity he first changed some rules. He took parts of Christianity and took part of Paganism, and he created his own religion. Catholics are just Pagans in Christian cloth. That is why homosexuality, child abuse, praying to false idols "statues", and worshipping the mother are allowed in Catholicism because those are Pagan practices. I implore you to dig deeper into what you follow. Those following a false Christ will no inherit Gods kingdom. I'm saying this because I love you. If you want to follow Christ, then do as Christ did. Was Christ a Catholic? Was he a Mormon? Was he a LDS? No. He was a Jewish Baptist. He was a Christian. And by reading his words with an open heart to his glory you will see the truth. Please read and don't stop. I promise you Catholics are a part of the Bride, The Beast, and Babylon prophecy as stated in the Old Testament. Let Yehweh shine his light on you. God bless you all.
1st time viewer. I love this! I hope you all keep up the good work for Gods kingdom! As a protestant I know we coulr quibble on some things but ultimately Im glad to have you as true brothers in Christ and look forward to meeting you in Eternity, just over the Jordan.
Hello Michael from a fellow North shore person. As soon as you said the last battle, I knew exactly what part you were going to talk about. Thank you for sharing your story. I will offer a rosary for you and anyone who is afflicted in this way right now.
You should try to score an interview with the two members of the Swedish band Reverorum Ib Malacht on your channel. They used to be anti cosmic Satanists making black metal, until the two founders studied the Bible (to better 'blaspheme' in their own words) and ended up becoming Catholic. They're somewhat hard to get into contact with, but post on their channel 'Malacht Multimedia' every couple months. They're oddballs in the best possible way. I personally love their musical style even though it's not for everyone.
I’ve never heard it referred too as a gift of tears before, but maybe it is a gift. I can tell how deeply you feel things and I feel them this deeply as well. You’ve made me feel so much better about myself and my own tears through sharing your experiences. Thank you.
I had a Lutheran coworker who had the gift of tears. When I was going through some tough things in life she would pray for me and she has the gift of tears. I was unable to cry myself but she would literally cry for me. I appreciated that SO much. It is real.
As soon as Michael mentioned the good worshipper of Tash in Chronicles of Narnia, I knew where he was going, and it brought tears to my eyes. God is infinitely creative in how He saves us
I really appreciate this young man for sharing his stories. He's so gentle and skittish. I do wish he could've provided more details about his personal experience with certain spiritual encounters, because that information would give specific insight about why people should avoid the occult. I pray that he continues to build his courage and boldness in the Lord.
Yes, agree. Michael was a very poor interviewee. Too emotional. Not enough detail. The interview was a joke. A disclaimer was not required! Waste of time.
I absolutely love his careful consideration of his words and his exercise of discernment throughout this interview. He’s developing in wisdom and I think it would be quite interesting to interview him again in 10-15 years after he has continued that growth. There’s so much depth of thought beyond what he can express right now.
I was raised Catholic and my wife was raised Lutheran so I tried going to Lutheran church and it felt like I was going to bible study and not church. It made me appreciate and miss the catholic mass.

need Tissue boxes .... Cause a lot of times your interviews touch the heart... This is the power of Our LORD... Amen ... Let's keep ourselves on the path under Christ our lord.
Praise the Lord-it's true that no one is beyond redemption. A very moving episode. I was a New Ager for 30+ years and also involved in the occult. It's a very slippery slope, but it's interesting how Satan often unwittingly creates good out of evil by teaching us valuable lessons that cause us to make a 180-degree turn. Michael's epiphany during Mass that "that was Jesus Christ in the Eucharist" was very similar to what happened to me. I was a new Catholic for two years before I actually had that breakthrough experience. Absolutely overwhelming. Like him, it also took me a while to embrace the Holy Mother and to realize how much she'd done for me. How good is our God.
Recently I heard someone say “the gift of stop.” I understood what he meant, but had never thought of having the resources or ability to just stop as being a gift. I now agree that it is.
I’ve had a Pentecostal up bringing, we love promoting the love of Christ. However, nothing displays the love of Christ more than the genuine testimony of an encounter with it. This was beautiful to watch, encouraging too. May Christs love continue to poor in and through your life. Thanks for sharing with us.
Was in Budapest when this aired! I visited as many Catholic Churches as I could walk to! So beautiful! Went to mass, and did adoration- was happy to find a church with an adoration chapel!! St Elizabeth of a Hungary is one of my patron saints, so especially enjoyed being there!
A very helpful, specific warning for parents to be vigilant…and also a reminder that we are built for worship. Praise God this young man is now praising the name of the God of Israel and having a true friendship with Jesus, who is light and life, truth and mercy. Was so grateful to hear this on Locals, Matt. You bring all your followers there and here, such fascinating, long form interviews!
I thought this was going to be a fun crazy ride into the world of a satanist. But turned out to be the story of Gods power, mercy, and love. Goes to show no matter how bad you think you’ve been or are, God will always be there to wash it away and love you. God bless you brother.
Matt, thank you for the warning about the vice of curiosity. I’ve listened to a lot of exorcist interviews recently and I just read about a young priest from Alabama who did a lot of (perhaps not-delegated) exorcism work and then left the country claiming the Blessed Mother and Our Lord told him he should marry a recent high school graduate girl without giving up his priesthood… it makes me think more carefully about how I will guard against the wiles of the devil through humility and guard my wife and two young boys. Peace and glory to Jesus Christ!
Dope video, my dude. Watched it elsewhere. I love Michael's confidence that lets him cry in front of who knows how many strangers will see this video. God bless him
When I was 28, I heard very clearly in my head “Jesus is coming, and you are not going back with Him.” I was instantly changed. I knew I had to go to confession. I knew I had to be holy but I didn’t know how so my journey began at that moment. It hasn’t stopped since. Life isn’t easy & sometimes it’s probably more difficult but what peace the Lord gives in my soul.
Wow what a powerful message!! How long ago was this? I heard God tell me that I was not prepared for Jesus coming either. I thought "well , a lot has to happen before He comes" and God said "Jesus was praised as the Son of David a week before he was crucified. You'd be surprised to see how quickly the world can change in a week. This was in March of 2020. A week before the churches were closed due to the pandemic ... 🙏
I have so much compassion for Micheal, and I relate to him a lot, the need for ritual is something that is deeply ingrained in us, and also led me down a dark path as well, praise God I too, got saved. He's so sensitive and kind. May God keep him on the right path.
You can't sell your soul because it doesn't belong to us You can pledge allegiance to him but you cannot give your soul away for this sacred gift does not belong to us but to the ONE who gave it.
I was born and raised in Dracut, now living next door in Tyngsboro, but my family was one of the first to settle in Haverhill in the 1600's. As a teenager through to my early 20's, I was heavily involved in practicing magic. For some reason, I thought removing or doing rituals without explicit references to pagan gods made it "okay". At the height of my involvement with this stuff, I attended my first TLM and God showed me what I was really looking for. It took a few more years, but I eventually came back to the Church after being away for ten years. Now, praying the Rosary in Latin or simply meditating with the Jesus Prayer gives me more joy than any pagan ritual ever could.
This beautiful testemony, about God's mercy and care from Blessed Virgin Mary, is going to have few millions viewers. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Thank you Michael, Matt and all co-workers. 👍👏👏👏🖐️🏆
I know Michael from back home. I haven’t talked to him since 2013 and I couldn’t believe this was him. I am praying for you Michael. May God grant you peace, long life and happiness.
God Bless You
So was he a Satanist in kindergarten or something?
@@jonathanhendry9759
High school
@sandraelder1101 Lol what did he glance at a D&D manual one time? Dally with an Iron Maiden CD?
@@jonathanhendry9759
You watched the interview, right? He explained all that.
High school age is plenty old enough to do some terrible things, even assault and murder. It’s enough that he told us he worshipped the evil one. We don’t need details. Perhaps you’ve been fortunate enough to live where the worst they do is D&D. Let’s not worry about what exactly he did but rejoice in his conversion. That’s the big story.
This man is so sweet. He’s sharing his story, but he’s gingerly protecting us from the harsh, dangerous parts of it. I feel so cared for. God bless him!
Respectfully, what harshness?
It is worse than this. Some testimonies are more graphic than others. None of them tell you everything, just a small part. Some of them can be very disturbing. But both Protestants or Catholics that were once involved in this are all against anything involving the occult or darkness such as Halloween.
He's definitely protecting himself from PRISON AND CONFESSING HIS CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY AND ANIMALS 😭😭😭😭😭😭
@@panninggazz5244 There are some demonic and depraved experiences that should not be shared to those who might be vulnerable. It can create an opening, the way his "friend's" witch mother opened him to those experiences. We all have a peverse curiosity. It can vary as to topic but "discretion is the better part of valor." It is better not to name these things.
@@butterification
He doesn’t want to tell anyone how to do spells or encourage it. Plus, he said he didn’t do the creepy, “probably criminal” initiation.
We bought a house 2 yrs ago and I've been hearing voices and sensing something standing next to my bed at night. It doesn't feel bad but still it's unnerving. A few months ago I started praying again as I lay in bed and I do say out loud that only Jesus is welcome in my home and all others must leave. I haven't had any issues since.
🔴 JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY HOPE🔴 ALL GLORY TO JESUS CHRIST
Amen. We have authority over these demons through Jesus Christ🙌
Amen
@@De3e3Through Christ? I mean no disrespect, but didn’t Lucifer rebel against God because he placed Man above the angels? Demons are just those angels that chose to follow Lucifer, wouldn’t we have always had command over them? It’s my understanding that Jesus was sent to form a new covenant with Man, and his sacrifice was to replace the live animal sacrifices that the Jews were making. I’m sure there is more nuance to it. There are stories of Christ descending to bell in order to steal sin from Lucifer, IIRC. Would it be stealing? That may be the wrong term as theft is certainly a sin. Language is so muddy at times.
You should have your spiritual father bless the house
I'm not sure how or why this video came up in my feed. The experience Mr Davis is talking about is something I've been through and I have never spoken about my experience with similar matters. Because of the combined effort, I now can understand that I've never been alone in my struggles. Thank you, Micheal, for being so willing to help, for your tearful gut wrenching honesty. God bless you. Keep guarding your
heart, and stay beautiful.
I am a former tarot card reader and new age follower. I fully understand why he didn't want to speak in detail about some of his experiences. Satan uses the mind (ie memories) against us. There are nights where I've had to sleep with a Bible under my head due to the images that demons tried to project. It can be incessant, grotesque, and frightening. I praise Jesus and thank God daily for setting me free. The battle is daily, in breaking the chains of witchcraft, but I am willing to take the suffering to spare another from the devil. Thank you for your testimony! ✝️
Wow, praise be to God that you've found the way the truth and the life!
Please look into the believers authority. We have the authority to use His name in these situations, those unclean spirits don't have a legal right over your mind. Just as a police officer has the delegated authority backed up by the power of the law and it's institutions, we have a greater delegated authority backed up by the promises of God which are all "yes and amen" (2 cor 1:20). That includes protection and peace etc. Please look into what the Word says about the believers authority.
@@jenlbirke my friend hold on to your rosary when you sleep or put it under your pillow. That is the sword that will cut through and lead you to Jesus.
You probably need deliverance, and also you cannot just repent but you have to renounce and denounce each practice and agreement you came into while dabbling in that.
This is living proof that Jesus can redeem every living person. Never give up on those in your life that have fallen away. The prodigal son returned. Love this, Matt. ❤
Jesus died a long time ago. He was a martyr for the cult he started in opposition to Judaism. He was a superstitious narcissitic pacificist who wanted to be worshipped as a God but fell to the same fate of most ppl who rebelled against the Roman Empire.
I want to applause Michael for his sincerity and how cautious and wise he was during the interview. It was touching and beautiful ! God bless him and his family !
Ohhhhh yeah EXTREMELY CAUTIOUS!!!!! HE'S SCARED TO GO TO PRISON!!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@butterificationwhat are you on about?! It doesn’t matter the reason. Hes repented and telling his story without feeding your curiosity. That’s why you’re mad. I’m sure you can look it up somewhere what those rituals were.
It normally gets on my nerves when people cry because it often seems forced for effect, but Michael's tears are 100% sincere. He is darling. My heart is warmed by him.
I'm glad he calls his tears a grace, they really are!
I think he refers to it as whept. Come on get it right!
I was actually thinking the same thing about the tears…God forgive me…I was finding it annoying lol I just wanted to hear his story !
@@stpdncr same. I know its sincere how he feels but the sniffling into the mic distracted me really badly.
His blubbering drove me nuts.
What a testimony! You can be in the most literal, darkest place in existence, and GOD WILL STILL FIND YOU!
🎯 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
AMEN. 🙏🏾
Amen ♥
It’s a testimony of the Catholic church not Jesus Christ. Considering we’re not saved by works, if one can’t receive sacraments isn’t a sign of none possession. The sign is if you don’t want to say Jesus is Lord, Romans 10:9. Children of God are possessed by the Holy Spirit. Focus, minister testify about Jesus Christ not Satan.
Ephesians 1:13
God always knows right where you are. Seek and you shall find
I am new to this channel and greatly intrigued. I was raised Roman Catholic but left organized religion in my 20s, though I've kept belief in God. I'm nearly 70 now and these discussions are causing me to reassess as nothing else has done.
Reasses what?

Wow. What a testimony! God bless and keep you ❤
The same opportunity was offered to me also in middle school. My friend took me to a Wiccan store… I immediately felt the evil and never touched anything and never went back. I was a very broken kid at that point- but I had enough knowledge of the faith to ask my angel for help and I ran the other way. Seven years later I gave my life to Christ as a religious sister. St. Therese said the only difference between her and St. Mary Magdalene was that Our Lord lifted the rock so she wouldn’t trip on it (aka mortal sin). I know it was only His grace. When I listen to stuff like this I feel so grateful for the protection around my life that I in no way deserved. Astounding!
@@jbeauty4150 it’s just a slight difference in the way of life/ vow really. Sisters generally work outside the convent- nuns are cloistered. It’s a pretty interchangeable word.
So much of my conversion story matches with yours, Michael, though I'm from the Southern US and my home background is Non-Denominational and my childhood was "less than idyllic." In high school, I befriended a Wiccan girl, but very quickly moved past Wicca to a pagan restorationist sect dedicated to Apollo. Without getting too deep, I never went as far down the rabbit hole as you did though I was a favorite of our priest who began to groom me and train me as his acolyte. I was (blessed be God) saved from that situation by a good philosophy professor in college who was a Thomist, very patient, and more holy than he could know. I'm not sure if he knows that his Intro to Philosophy class is directly responsible for the beginning of my conversion. I sojourned through Buddhism too, and Yoga, and through the mercy of God ended up in the True Faith. I was received and baptised into the Church at the Easter Vigil in 2013. Blessed be His Holy Name.
What’s wrong about practicing yoga?
@@Anna-jb7ll Yoga, when practiced fully, is a religious expression of Hinduism which seeks to balance the body with the mind and soul and achieve oneness with the "trimurti" (the three forms of Brahman who is the universal god: Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva). It is possible to perform the movements devoid of devotional intent, but it is something that ought to be avoided by the spiritually vulnerable and those directly connected to them under St. Paul's advice concerning meat sacrificed to idols.
Protestant here and I'm so thankful for this podcast. Bless you all, praying for you all and this episode was beautiful.
Yes, it was beautiful. 👍
Have you noticed how in all of his experience he never actually talked about the gospel? I wonder if he's even saved..
@@AVKRU88 he just found something else to obsess over- catholicism(which in my opinion is idolistic)

@@merylchinsky6033 why are you watching this Catholic podcastthen?
I want to thank Michael Davis for his generosity in coming to this interview and sharing these very personal experiences. It is a very generous act and will be appreciated by many people, including me.
Michael, you are doing a great thing by telling your story. Our entire culture has been captured; kids are easy targets for all this, and parents are told to accept, affirm, “understand,” etc. God bless you for your honesty and courage-it is clear that this is not easy for you. I cried with you, dear.
I love this interview. It really gives me hope for my children who have turned away from God. It also reminds me of my conversion, I have always been a Catholic, but I became a “born again” Catholic in the way that I truly adore going to church and I try my best to be a good Christian Catholic. I went through the tears stage like him as well. It’s a beautiful feeling. When I go to communion, I talk to God on my way up and plead forgiveness (besides confession). I always feel like I’m walking towards heaven when I go to communion.
God bless him for allowing this interview and God bless you for interviewing him.
I hope the story of Saint Monica (the mother of Saint Augustine) will inspire you. Always pray for them daily. God bless your family.
I legit haven’t cried that hard watching an interview ever in my life. This was a powerful witness to the infinite love of God the Father and through His Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ. Amen.
It made me cry too 😂🤣😂 From laughing so much.🤣😂😂

I'm confused. How can you accidentally hear something on youtube that damns your soul?
@@smokyquartz5817it's not a slippery slope. It's a cliff face and many fall the whole distance. If you are lucky enough to grab hold of something you will find yourself being pulled as you climb back. Why would the saved condemn another with information leading to a path of damnation. To qoute the late Sir Christopher Lee: "you will not lose only your mind, but your soul"
in reference to a warning he left a room full of college students when questioned on his rumored knowledge and collection of occult works.
Fellow Massachusetts resident here! Grew up in Amesbury. I fell into the occult at age 13 and only this year at 34 I have found my way back to my Catholic faith. The stories I could tell. So happy to be home ❤
I am a baby Christian, was saved in January. But boy am I feeling convicted about Catholicism as of late, the work they do with exorcism, their work of confession. Really appeals to me
As a Satanist I greatly attest to excorsism. It's a pretty disturbing thing considering people continue to die during them.
I don't really care what you do religiously but if people are dying repeatedly during a ritual you do then maybe it's time to stop.
Come to Mass sometime
@@borontv6400 I’m confused, is this sarcasm? A satanist saying exorcism is bad?
@@brob368 I mean almost all Satanists agree that excorsism is a bad ritual.
A father killed his son during an excorsism in 2019.
And in 2021 a man killed his father during an excorsism.
Respectfully I think Christians should be ashamed for refusing to denounce excorsism for the harm it has caused throughout history.
I grew up in a Christian family and at one point could have been considers a son of God. Then I became atheist (anti-religious) for what I couldn't bear to see the religion I grew up in doing.
Fortunately I got over my anti religious predispositions and rediscovered Satanism as something I truly believe in.
I am what many call a "Compassionate" Satanist (the fastest growing sect) so I'm not involved with the Church of Satan.
@@borontv6400 are these reports from people not trained in exorcisms? Who maybe didn’t know what they were doing?
I would bring to your attention that compassion and Satan don’t mix, so I’m not sure why you would call yourself a compassionate satanist, you would just say you’re compassionate. Satan by definition is the enemy of God and his creation, he doesn’t love you, he does love that you’re away from God though and I am sorry for whatever Christian became a stumbling block in your life, Christian’s aren’t perfect and they shouldn’t be self righteous.
And God said "welcome back son". He loves you so much and His angels rejoiced when you came home. Thank you for sharing your story.
Yeah, forget about All the truly ugly, violent, destructive things you formerly did to others. Easy-peasy!
@@PhilAlumb Jesus forgave those who crucified Him and God commands that we forgive.
When Matt read that prayer around 52:00 I felt something lift in me that I was hardly aware was clasping down, this strange paranoia and anxiety. Oh the subtle power of evil, but how triumphant the power of God. These prayers work
Same here! My day was very... dark up to that point. I'm still struggling, but my day is on the right path now.
Weirdly the same
Where can i find that prayer, what's it called?
Yes!
But why at the end of this prayer (1:24) did the host make the sign of the cross in the way the Orthodox churches do it, but certainly NOT Catholics !?
That's kinda strange for a channel named after Thomas Aquinas, isn't it !?
I worked with the Pregnancy Care Center in Haverhill, MA and during my pro-life activities in that area met a woman whose autobiography was so horrific that I threw the book away after reading it so my children would never have to. There was a lot of darkness in Haverhill, but the light does continue to shine through.
I've been listening to this for two or three weeks now. Haven't finished it yet. I can only take about 10 minutes. This unassuming guy is bringing me to tears every time. You capture the essence of what brought me to Christ. Even though i wasn't a Satanist. You don't have to be a Satanist to worship Satan every day of your life. I'm still struggling every day. But this is bringing me immense hope.
Man, that prayer at the beginning of the podcast was POWERFUL. I would almost consider doing that at the beginning of each episode. It hit me like a BRICK and got my spirit ready to unify with you and the message. Thank you!
Agreed!
I was sleeping while this came on and I woke up in the mist of the prayer. All praise due to God. How I love Him so.
But why at the end of this prayer (1:24) did the host make the sign of the cross in the way the Orthodox Churches do it, but NOT Catholics !?
That's kinda strange, isn't it !?
Especially on a channel that is obviously named after St. Thomas Aquinas, one of the most important Catholic theologians and saints !
I agree ✝️
I felt the same way
Great interview and may St. Joseph protector of the Holy Family intercede on this man and his family's behalf.
My dad asked for concfession , I reluctantly got a Priest for him as he blamed God out loud for having a stroke … he had confession and last rights and died on the 22nd February at 3 pm , he called out to me as I was saying the Divine Mercy Chaplet ❤️, hours after having confession and Last rights 🙏 Gods mercy is immense!
22nd February is the date St Faustina was given the image of Divine Mercy
Wow
Much love, healing and blessings upon your family in the Lord Jesus! May he provide a blanket and comfort, and always provide a way !❤️🙌🏻🙏
God bless you all 🥰🥹
Prayed Divine Mercy next to my Fathers bed in the USA the summer before he passed away. Then we flew back to Europe.
Felt it would be the last time I would see him. Then October 5th he passed away. That is Sr.Faustina's death day!
Can't someone get that man a Kleenex!!?? The interviewer should have a BOX near by.
I've watched many of your videos and podcasts, and I'm only 30 minutes into this one, but wow it's incredibly gripping. What a story. I had some ties with a similar past as him, but not NEARLY to the same level, thank God. But I was adjacent to it, so it sends shivers down my spine to think about. But this man is very humble, and his honesty is palpable. I'm very glad he found Christ, or Christ found him. Whichever would be the proper way to put it. Thanks for sharing and posting this.
*Edit* This video has brought me to tears. What an incredibly beautiful interview. Such a gift to be able to listen to this. I'm at the part about Mary, and it is just truly beautiful.
wow i definitely have a similar experience. i was baptized and converted this year after years of satanism, wiccan, new age, and it was a crazy scary experience i would never want for anyone. i was exposed to it very young at age 11 and i lost my absolute mind and never thought to connect it to my distorted beliefs. this is a *dangerous* curiosity for your mind, body, and soul. may God bless you all and pray to keep yourself close to God. God can stop the demons, but you have to close the door on them as well.
"Tolkien is more factual than the New York Times"
Best quote ever
😂. Facts
How right you are!
I am watching this in complete awe that this gentleman was able to get out of this! I dabbled in the occult and have recently come back to God. While watching this I felt compelled to just jump up and gather everything I had relating to the occult and immediately running it to the garbage bin. Wow, this has been such a powerful interview. Thank you!
Your religion is about having a relationship with a supernatural entity
@@sophiafakevirus huh?
@@DeprogrammedSnowflake he gave a health warning at the beginning and then clasped his hands and began talking to a supernatural entity, yet couldn't see it was exactly the same as the fellow who believed he was in communication with demons. They were both imagining it all. We dream our lives away.
@@sophiafakevirus you aren’t making sense. If you can’t see the difference between God and the devil then I can’t help you.
What an absolute breathtaking interview. I críed along; i understand him so well; I practiced Wicca from about 12 ,and even after stopping it’s spiritual after math affected me until the age of about 27. I think I’m most grateful to see how he sobbed frequently. This happens to me and I found it embarrassing because I felt like I was being hyperbolic and subconsciously doing it for show of true metanoia. But to see this; I know this. The heart nearly ruptures because the love held for God and our Blesses Lady-is so great. I understand when he said “(God) is so good to me, I suck”. I know that feeling. To be loved wholly when you are unworthy. Such a humbling and washing feeling. Such a good episode! Viva Cristo Rey!!💕💕
I was raised Wiccan(pagan) and much of my early years from pre-teen on into my late 20’s I practiced. I in fact still to this day have my fathers wand. I say this because this gentleman is the first Christian person in all my life that I believe actually lived what he describes. I believe too many Christian’s try to sensationalize their stories to make it more of an “exciting” testimony especially in the Protestant, Baptist and Evangelical(prosperity types) circles. It’s not that they’re lying but embellishing… it’s hard for me to take people like that seriously knowing the world I came from was so much more subtle and dangerous BECAUSE of its subtlety. I have seen and experienced too many supernatural things in my life to deny a vail that separates natural from supernatural. But witchcraft and paganism put on a very friendly welcoming facade up unto the point it’s too late for you or you’ve discovered the mess you’re in and want out.
You see, most Christian’s believe that witchcraft is the open worship of satan and that simply isn’t the truth. Satan disguises witchcraft as a good thing, something that can connect one to their natural world, supernaturally. Or as a vehicle of earthly Justice rater than Holy Justice. Majority of witches or those that practice witchcraft are not in fact evil by any stretch… in fact, they’ve been quite duped.
Good point. There’s a friar from the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal (CFRs) in Ireland and he has a video where he said “there are no neutral spirits.” Hit me like a ton of bricks. I have pagan friends that are genuinely trying to do good, but they don’t know that all the supernatural spirits are either God’s holy angels, or demons who have denied God. There are no spirits “in between” or “light spirits.” But it’s hard to see that with the façade of “positive vibes” all over it. I am hopeful though for my pagan friends because at least they recognize that there is a physical/natural world AND a spiritual/ supernatural world. Many atheistic materialists can’t even have a convo about God. Praying that the true light of Christ will break prisoners free and heal all who have been damaged by false idols ❤️
If I may recommend another powerful testimony, look for Zachary King. Also, on a side note: in the Christian Faith, it's not about being a "good person". It's about being in a good place before God. No one is a good person, really. We either cooperate with the graces God keeps pouring on us, or we don't. To believe somehow one is "good" is a dangerous path to damnation.
Let me guess, you frequented your local hot topic. So is there any spells that ever worked?
Yes, the progression of witchcraft can be subtle. Thats because most witches are completely unaware of what their practices are about. Witchcraft has been packaged with a New Age twist…as using “energies,” manifesting, honoring the elements of nature, casting (both good & bad) spells to affect change they desire, etc. And even though there is a wide range of practices, most witches are sternly adamant that their practices avoid or reject Satan. Which is why witchcraft seems so subtle…or should we say duplicitous. Most witches chant that they “do no harm” & are merely working with good or retributive intentions. But the reality is…they are unaware of the dark, hidden powers behind those false promises.
And regarding what Christians (as well as most people regardless of religion) believe….very few believe witchcraft is “open worship of satan.” If anything, Christians see the hidden devil behind witchcraft…even though most witches themselves don’t see or believe it.
And true…there is a LOT of embellishment on the internet. But sadly, not all of it is embellished. Much goes way beyond the simple Wiccan ritual circles. There is a *massive* range of evil practices, cults and sick people in the world. Some of which is so evil, that most wiccans and witches would be shocked.

Matt shows his stuff here, truly thoughtful and intelligent questions. Matt allows Michael speak and find his way without interruptions and digressions. Great work, thank you!
Amen amen!!!! Great interview skill demonstrated here by Matt. And compassion too.
So I was hesitant to watch this, and here is why.
As Catholic, I started looking for faith content, miracles and spiritually edifying content. This included looking at conversion stories.
One of the stories was a ‘converted’ satanist…and he was under the tutelage of a Catholic priest.
The problem was he was speaking to young teens at a school and he was getting detailed about how high in the Satanist realm he got.
He was talking about he got all the girls he wanted, money, cars, power…that supposedly he never had to do anything illegal or really bad, but somehow he ended up being the main Satanist.
It sounded more like he was recruiting kids by explaining the benefits.
He would say how you should not do it and pray the rosary and such, but it gave me really bad vibes that he might be a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
This young man approached it the way I would expect a genuine convert to approach the topic.
God bless him and his conversion.
You are spot . I’m the same. This is the most genuine and sincere Satan to Christ conversion story I ever watched. It was so intense I couldn’t watch it in one go. He didn’t dwell on the glamour of it in fact his testimony terrified me a little. Praise God for Michael’s conversion. ❤
Talking to kids about this stuff should be done very carefully, I agree. It's not wise to compare conversion stories though. I only stick to known Catholic podcasters and vloggers especially exorcists. It's the safest way to learn about these things.
"He was talking about he got all the girls he wanted, money, cars, power…that supposedly he never had to do anything illegal or really bad, but somehow he ended up being the main Satanist."
He was lying. A bunch of people have made up fake conversion stories like that and used it to build a career. They always claim to be the lead satanist, not a mere hanger-on. They always claim to have had access to wealth and sex, which is absurd given they're always talking about some hick town "cult". The math doesn't work out.
One example of this is Mike Warnke, who made a career out of talking and writing about his conversion from satanism, but was exposed as a fraud by the Christian magazine Cornerstone.
I'm sure this guy is lying or exaggerating hugely and he actually only listened to heavy metal and played some dungeons and dragons, neither of which make you a satanist.
I heard that or a very similar interview and agree.
That interview didn’t really make it sound like he was running to Christ for forgiveness.
The vatican is Satán ...You are tricked .
What a magnificent testimony.
A heart ripped asunder and open to Gods love and will is the most heartbreakingly beautiful thing.
Wow!! This is so beautiful!! I am actually in tears myself watching this. The love of God is so powerful ❤. I love this podcast. I am a 43 year old single mom from Georgia USA. I was raised pentecostal. I lived in sin for years. I was born again in Jesus a couple of years ago. God bless you Matt and your family as well. Love you ministry.
God bless you, brother. Welcome back to the loving arms of the Father, through the Son, by the Holy spirit! I was an atheist for quite a long time, I've had many sins above my head that I thought I'd never escape, but Christ can carry the heaviest crosses and conquer the darkest abysses. Praise the Lord, our saviour! God bless us all!
Michael is obviously a pure, gentle & innocent soul (which initially led him astray). It's probably why God, Jesus & Our Blessed Mother protected & continue to protect him. God bless you Michael for a very touching testimony.
I cannot tell you how much I appreciate this. From mainline Protestant to pagan to Catholic is my own story as well. But man, I'm glad I didn't get pulled into the trap. Thank you for sharing this so much.
Zz😅😅😅😮
@@thejoshuaproject3809 Not really. Non-Christian? Maybe. Occultist? Occasionally. But not pagan.
Roman Catholicism is identical to witchcraft.
From Satans lie Ato Satans lie B....from darkness to another form of RCC darkness
Michael exudes humility. And the indication of this is the he cares so much how much what he says might influence the viewers negatively. God bless him
Wow. I am so beyond thankful for this powerful, beautiful testimony. Although I could not relate to the pagan/satanic part of Michael’s conversion story, there were some significant aspects of his faith journey that I do relate to.
His tears were, for me, tremendously meaningful. I had to watch this in stages, with pauses due to my own weeping.
I’m somewhat of an emotional sort anyway, but I’ve had some encounters with Jesus in the Eucharist that have totally undone me like nothing else.
I want to say something to a very specific group of people who might be watching this (if you know, you know). If you are struggling because you doubt your salvation for "selling your soul", know that you can't sell what isn't yours. God knew your name before you were even in your mothers womb, and His mercy is enduring. See that you doubt not the grace that is offered to you. He has not appointed you for wrath, but rather the one who tried to steal you from Him. May God grant you peace in the firm knowledge of the salvation offered by the cross. Amen.
@@Kjell777Iverson it’s my understanding that if you are baptized Satan can not claim your soul.
I usually cant watch an interview with a person crying once or throughout. But Michael seemed so genuine, I couldnt help but become emotional myself and not wanting to skip out on his story. May God bless this man going foward
I had to stop the video, because his blubbering was driving me nuts.
I was born in his hometown of Haverhill. Salem, MA is a beautiful port town but absolutely evil! I bought items from there, subsequently got involved in studying Tarot, Oracle cards, Kundalini yoga and went down a horrible spiritual path that led to terrifying sleep paralysis, a demon having sex with me, and a dark shadow presence in my room for several nights. After one terrifying encounter at the 3am hour where i "awakened the serpent" at the base of my spine, I was so terrified with the demonic presence that took over my body that i ran out of my house at 340am, and the next day I brought all those items to a Catholic church to have them burned. I then went to confession. That was a pivotal moment in my spiritual life. It is all very seductive at first and then it controls you. Stay away!
Would you recommend just not going to Salem period?
@@sonyasunpuffSalem needs strong pastors and Christians to get a foothold in the community.
Was the sex with the demon good?
@@sonyasunpuffyeah stay out of there. They have black masses in this city. It’s gross
It’s also dumpy & drug addled now. I still like going (not on Halloween) but Portsmouth is way better. Salem has heaps of nutters & cRaZy women…it’s kinda a joke now…
Incredible interview, and very moving. Michael’s conversion story is a great testament to the power and love of Jesus Christ, our Sovereign Lord. The serpent is no match for Jesus, or for His Mother, Mary!
The devil is referred to as the “ancient serpent” in Scripture, but the Trinity is even more ancient. God always wins. Viva Christo Rey!
Ave Christus Rex!
Are you serious!!! No match for Jesus is very true, and for his mother Mary, that is blasphemy, Jesus is God, and you just made Mary equal with him, you are in great error, please read the Scriptures!!!
@@emilclark645@emilclark645
Do as Jesus did... Jesus loved His mother, and so should we. Her fiat, not just at the annunciation, but her entire life raising Jesus and loving Him perfectly, helped bring the redemption. That is why we call her co-redemptrix, not because it was she who died for us, but she who denied her will like Christ, for the will of the Father.
We are all, in some way, co-redemtrists, since we are all called to be the hands and feet of Christ, bringing the Word to our brothers and sisters.
But we honor Mary, for Jesus was man and God and his Divinity and humanity cannot be seperated; they are one, and he was formed in the womb of a woman; hence we call her, Mother of God. That does not place her above God in anyway. But she bore the God-man.
She suffered and pained as a mother but with more love than any mother, since she was perfected by God. She had to be, otherwise she couldn't have given birth to something pure and perfect. She was purified according to God's plan, she could not by her sin crucify her own son, nor could she sin while she bore him. Nor throughout her life, her special calling to raise him she could not both aid in redemption and also work against it.
She's the model for us, on how to LOVE JESUS BEST. She's not the way the truth and the life, but she leads you to it with a mother's hand, she leads you to her Son. Everyone in heaven has achieved some share in the glory of God, in the mission of God and of the bringing of His Kingdom, the Kingdom of the Divine Will. (where we all follow God's will, like Mary, like Jesus... perfect love and unity in one Body, the Body of Christ) Marys mission is the highest Mission after Jesus, because she is His mother. She is the daughter of the Father, the Spouse of the Spirit, and the Mother of the Son. We are all called to be a Spouse to the Spirit, submissive (sub-mission, under the mission of) to the Will of He.
To love Mary is to love Jesus; when you have a friend who you care about, don't you want them to love your mom as well, since you care about her most?
When Jesus gave her St. John as her son, and St. John her as her mother, that was for all of us. She is there to help teach us wisdom, she understood the divine mysteries best, as she partook in them...
Meditate with the Rosary, it's looking at Jesus through Mary's eyes. If the key is to love Jesus more and more, why not ask His mother how? We are her children too, since we are entirely one with Christ through the redemption, body blood soul and Divinity. Hence his mother is our mother.
@@emilclark645 And I will make enemies Of you and the woman, And of your offspring and her Descendant; He shall bruise you on the head, And you shall bruise Him on the heel.' Genesis 3:15.
Either you are a child of Mary (Christ) or a child of the world (the devil) ! Mary is full of grace... full of wisdom, understanding, etc... asking her to pray for you is like asking a friend to pray for you, but better, because she is so close to God...
Hail Mary, full of grace,
The Lord is with you.
Blessed are you among women,
And blessed is the fruit of thy womb,
Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
Pray for us sinners,
Now and at the hour of our death,

Nothing wrong there! All scriptural. She loves you so much and wants to help you discover God's will for your life and bring you closer to her son!!!! 😊
@@emilclark645and .. the Kingdom of God is a family... we are all brothers and sisters with a Father and... a mother.
I understand Michael Davis very well as I obliquely contacted this evil dimension through a relationship. This evil world is real. Thankfully, I returned to my Catholic Church and received compassionate help from the priests there. I am still working on releasing obsession or oppression, as this is how my priest who spent some time with me described my state. He said it would slowly go away. He gave me specific instructions on how to proceed. I am deeply grateful.
I am not quite sure why this channel and channels like it popped up in my feed 3 days ago, as I am not someone who is “troubled” or “lost” but I am thinking that maybe there is a reason it did. I have always had a “normal” life and have always tried to be a good person. I was raised catholic but once I left my family home when 18 to begin college and my journey through life, I never returned to the church. Although I may not return to the catholic faith, I feel the reason this type of program popped up in my feed is God hinting to me that I need to restore my faith in him, even if not as a catholic.
I love your interviews and open mindedness to learning about different viewpoints and how people have reconnected to God and their spiritual faith.
God bless you!
Satan is but dust before Our Lord.
You discount the power of evil to destroy lives at your own peril. Jesus is lord, His power will prevail, but Satan will destroy many who believe themselves immune simply by having knowledge of Jesus but not the necessary relationship.
So this man worshiped demons and devils and now under the scarlet harlot he worships the queen of heaven aka satans bride...? Tragic

Ok I’m crying. I was saved from earth goddess paganism. I was so ignorant and just wanted to love and spread love. It all seemed so harmless and “light” 💔🙏🏻
Good, it can lead to some very dark things if your heart becomes dark enough. I knew a guy a few years ago who did a very specific ritual to Gaia to get back at his ex-wife for taking the kids and turning them against him, and within a day of that ritual the mother of his children died in a car crash. The [adult] kids still avoided him so it was pointless to his real desire. Unfortunately he was anti-Christian, even tried to talk me out of Christianity saying Peter became a tyrant or something, and I assume never sought repentance for performing that witchcraft at that point in time. This guy at the time of talking with him was a bikrum yoga teacher
I get physically uncomfortable when I hear people say 'love and light' my skin crawls.
@@thesmirkinggrape 'love and light' is cringe
That's what happens when we put some thought and effort analysing the things we do in life as humans. As the saying goes, "hell is full of good intentions ".
@user-ly3li3ex8c if the man who cast the spell on his ex wife was a yoga teacher... means either he was a Hindu or he was practicing Hinduism.
Yoga is part of Hinduism. And the words they chant are evoking the demons.
Stay away from yoga.
Anyway... the ex wife, might have got killed by the Hindu practicing man's evil spell.
Hopefully she was not a practicing hindu.... hopefully, she was saved by the Real God - Jesus.
Jesus is merciful to us when we are alive on Earth so we have to avail of His mercies. Because, after our death - it is only judgement.
I love this guy ❤ The part where he talks about the emotions coming over him when he took communion made me cry with him. ❤🙏❤
I shut this video off, didn't want to open any door, then it popped up later and I finished listening.
I shed tears with him when he converted at the Alter rail!
Mr. Fradd, you have quite the Protestant following and I dare say God is opening the eyes of many to see that he IS working through the Catholic Church!
I’m a Protestant and I love this channel. I’m so thankful that there are real Catholics out there, not just C&E ones.
I do have an issue with Maryology, but maybe I’m right, maybe you are. I don’t think it’s a salvation issue. I’m sure many of our ancestors, both Catholic and Protestant, who were believers went to heaven and found out, “Oops, I shouldn’t have done….”
All in all, I’ve been looking for a Catholic Church in the Hamilton, Ontario area that is truly conservative and Bible believing and NOT woke. If someone knows, please let me know!!

What a powerful interview, wow! St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle.
The story about his grandpa, just happened to my dad who died 1 week ago… atheist anticlerical, received his last rites, thw day after lost consciousness and died last Sunday! Hail Mary! Praise All Loving Father!
In AA we tell our stories fairly often, because our experiences can help newcomers. If you focus on that, then the past doesn’t touch you. I cried a lot at first while telling those, it was difficult, but as time went on, we almost laugh at our mistakes, our faith in God deepens. We don’t close the door to our past, don’t forget it, we see it how it was - foolish mistakes that led to God, there is a happy ending! so nothing is scary, your experience is a treasure on its own, use it for good. Praise God. Thank you for the episode. 🙏🏻
I always tell people about my experience with the supernatural. Just about 2yrs ago, a few months before my mom passed and right after she passed, we had a large amount of negative paranormal experiences. From shadows as tall as doorways, to a faceless grey figure with no hair in a full body apparition peeking from beyond walls or open doors, to physical items being thrown. A lot of the things were directed at me mainly, my cell phone was thrown off the table in the home office, i would hear voices and think that im developing a mental illness. It all ended after we asked our local pastor to do a cleansing of our land and home.
I was holding it in until he started to talk about Mary, and then 😭😭😭 Glory to God, that a hard-hearted man like me could feel such a love!
Same lol cried like a baby
I'm originally from Boston. I love this story. So beautiful, moving, and profound. Praise God for His infinite mercy!!!
I have cried like that - rivers- the times I was a ‘prodigal daughter ‘ and then I came home.. I call them ‘Holy Spirit tears.’ They are the BEST tears in the world!! Praise God.. Mercy triumphs over judgment.. ‼️‼️💖❤️🩷💕LOVE this testimony..
I'm grateful that my outspoken mother came down hard on me when she learned I was dabbling with something not of God, even though at the time I thought she was just being narrowminded and uptight. Praying for those confused people out there who are just looking for love or comfort and looking in the wrong place.
I was raised in a family with pelagianistic vibes, like, if you seek virtue is enough. The sayings from a noun that I’d become a priest in the Catholic school always echoed in my mind, and with 33 yrs old, during trying times, I finally started moving towards Christ. Even with a lot of errors during this journey, I have faith that now I’m doing the right move coming closer to the Catholic Church! God bless your efforts spreading the word!
Praying for Michael, that Lord protects him from all of the temptations of the demonic traps & that he keeps his eyes on Jesus, doesn’t entertain the ideas that might appear in his mind, shuts them down immediately & that Lord helps him to reduce the degree of temptation/curiosity if that appears.
"Anglo-Catholic with Orthodox sympathies" he defined where I am currently! My sense is that this path will lead me to become fully Catholic. The interview was profound. Many will be able to relate to parts in his journey. Thank you both.❤
I would invite you to attend a Traditional Latin Mass
Listen, I want you to honestly think about this. Jesus was a Jewish Baptist. He created Christianity which used to be originally called "The Way". Romans killed Jesus. Where did the Catholic Church come from? Rome. This is why when you read the Torah "Holy Bible" Catholics break SoooOoo many of Gods laws. Constatine who created the Holy Roman Empire "Catholicism" used to kill Christians. He would burn them alive and watch animals eat them alive and be torn apart. He would throw Christian babies to bears in a public setting. People around the city started realizing these people weren't afraid to die. In fact, they embraced it. Catholics are literally the direct lineage of the people that killed Christ. They are labeled in the Torah as being the first beast in end times. Look at Paganism, now look at Christianity. Now look at the difference. The difference is when Constatine converted his army and land to Christianity he first changed some rules. He took parts of Christianity and took part of Paganism, and he created his own religion. Catholics are just Pagans in Christian cloth. That is why homosexuality, child abuse, praying to false idols "statues", and worshipping the mother are allowed in Catholicism because those are Pagan practices. I implore you to dig deeper into what you follow. Those following a false Christ will no inherit Gods kingdom. I'm saying this because I love you. If you want to follow Christ, then do as Christ did. Was Christ a Catholic? Was he a Mormon? Was he a LDS? No. He was a Jewish Baptist. He was a Christian. And by reading his words with an open heart to his glory you will see the truth. Please read and don't stop. I promise you Catholics are a part of the Bride, The Beast, and Babylon prophecy as stated in the Old Testament. Let Yehweh shine his light on you. God bless you all.
Loved this, Michael’s vulnerability is so beautiful, tears were shed.
No one is too far gone. God saves.
1st time viewer. I love this! I hope you all keep up the good work for Gods kingdom! As a protestant I know we coulr quibble on some things but ultimately Im glad to have you as true brothers in Christ and look forward to meeting you in Eternity, just over the Jordan.
Hello Michael from a fellow North shore person. As soon as you said the last battle, I knew exactly what part you were going to talk about. Thank you for sharing your story. I will offer a rosary for you and anyone who is afflicted in this way right now.
You should try to score an interview with the two members of the Swedish band Reverorum Ib Malacht on your channel. They used to be anti cosmic Satanists making black metal, until the two founders studied the Bible (to better 'blaspheme' in their own words) and ended up becoming Catholic. They're somewhat hard to get into contact with, but post on their channel 'Malacht Multimedia' every couple months. They're oddballs in the best possible way. I personally love their musical style even though it's not for everyone.
I second this !!! Would be awesome.
Would love to hear that
That's the first time I hear about them! What an interesting story 😅
Will check them out 👍
My favorite story
Malacht is a Gaelic word meaning curse. Maybe it also has a Swedish meaning.
I’ve never heard it referred too as a gift of tears before, but maybe it is a gift. I can tell how deeply you feel things and I feel them this deeply as well. You’ve made me feel so much better about myself and my own tears through sharing your experiences. Thank you.
I had a Lutheran coworker who had the gift of tears. When I was going through some tough things in life she would pray for me and she has the gift of tears. I was unable to cry myself but she would literally cry for me. I appreciated that SO much. It is real.
Tears are cleansing. It's a gift from God.
As soon as Michael mentioned the good worshipper of Tash in Chronicles of Narnia, I knew where he was going, and it brought tears to my eyes. God is infinitely creative in how He saves us
Shout out to Haverhill, MA!!! I rarely hear / meet folks also from there
I really appreciate this young man for sharing his stories. He's so gentle and skittish. I do wish he could've provided more details about his personal experience with certain spiritual encounters, because that information would give specific insight about why people should avoid the occult. I pray that he continues to build his courage and boldness in the Lord.
Yes, agree. Michael was a very poor interviewee. Too emotional. Not enough detail. The interview was a joke. A disclaimer was not required! Waste of time.
I absolutely love his careful consideration of his words and his exercise of discernment throughout this interview. He’s developing in wisdom and I think it would be quite interesting to interview him again in 10-15 years after he has continued that growth. There’s so much depth of thought beyond what he can express right now.
I was raised Catholic and my wife was raised Lutheran so I tried going to Lutheran church and it felt like I was going to bible study and not church. It made me appreciate and miss the catholic mass.

Catholics are literally the direct lineage of the people that killed Christ. They are labeled in the Torah as being the first beast in end times. Look at Paganism, now look at Christianity. Now look at the difference. The difference is when Constatine converted his army and land to Christianity he first changed some rules. He took parts of Christianity and took part of Paganism, and he created his own religion. Catholics are just Pagans in Christian cloth. That is why homosexuality, child abuse, praying to false idols "statues", and worshipping the mother are allowed in Catholicism because those are Pagan practices. I implore you to dig deeper into what you follow. Those following a false Christ will no inherit Gods kingdom. I'm saying this because I love you. If you want to follow Christ, then do as Christ did. Was Christ a Catholic? Was he a Mormon? Was he a LDS? No. He was a Jewish Baptist. He was a Christian. And by reading his words with an open heart to his glory you will see the truth. Please read and don't stop. I promise you Catholics are a part of the Bride, The Beast, and Babylon prophecy as stated in the Old Testament. Let Yehweh shine his light on you. God bless you all.
God bless this man and his beautiful testimony!
need Tissue boxes .... Cause a lot of times your interviews touch the heart... This is the power of Our LORD... Amen ... Let's keep ourselves on the path under Christ our lord.
Matt's beard is great here, he needs to bring it back ❤
Praise the Lord-it's true that no one is beyond redemption. A very moving episode. I was a New Ager for 30+ years and also involved in the occult. It's a very slippery slope, but it's interesting how Satan often unwittingly creates good out of evil by teaching us valuable lessons that cause us to make a 180-degree turn. Michael's epiphany during Mass that "that was Jesus Christ in the Eucharist" was very similar to what happened to me. I was a new Catholic for two years before I actually had that breakthrough experience. Absolutely overwhelming. Like him, it also took me a while to embrace the Holy Mother and to realize how much she'd done for me. How good is our God.
What Mary does for you? No, it should be only what Christ does and did for you.
I just found out about "the gift of tears" last week. Such a gift! Thank you Michael, for sharing!
Can you explain?
Recently I heard someone say “the gift of stop.” I understood what he meant, but had never thought of having the resources or ability to just stop as being a gift. I now agree that it is.
I’ve had a Pentecostal up bringing, we love promoting the love of Christ. However, nothing displays the love of Christ more than the genuine testimony of an encounter with it. This was beautiful to watch, encouraging too. May Christs love continue to poor in and through your life. Thanks for sharing with us.
This was a fantastic podcast. So raw. Thank you both for this conversation!
A tough, powerful, interview for all involved. Matt, you cradled this gentleman with kindness. Adroitly therapeutic.
Was in Budapest when this aired!
I visited as many Catholic Churches as I could walk to!
So beautiful!
Went to mass, and did adoration- was happy to find a church with an adoration chapel!!
St Elizabeth of a Hungary is one of my patron saints, so especially enjoyed being there!
Sounds like you had a lovely time 🙏
A very helpful, specific warning for parents to be vigilant…and also a reminder that we are built for worship. Praise God this young man is now praising the name of the God of Israel and having a true friendship with Jesus, who is light and life, truth and mercy. Was so grateful to hear this on Locals, Matt. You bring all your followers there and here, such fascinating, long form interviews!
❤
I thought this was going to be a fun crazy ride into the world of a satanist. But turned out to be the story of Gods power, mercy, and love. Goes to show no matter how bad you think you’ve been or are, God will always be there to wash it away and love you. God bless you brother.
Thank you for the prayer at the intro, Matt! So proud of your ongoing growth! 👏
Matt, thank you for the warning about the vice of curiosity. I’ve listened to a lot of exorcist interviews recently and I just read about a young priest from Alabama who did a lot of (perhaps not-delegated) exorcism work and then left the country claiming the Blessed Mother and Our Lord told him he should marry a recent high school graduate girl without giving up his priesthood… it makes me think more carefully about how I will guard against the wiles of the devil through humility and guard my wife and two young boys. Peace and glory to Jesus Christ!
Dope video, my dude. Watched it elsewhere. I love Michael's confidence that lets him cry in front of who knows how many strangers will see this video. God bless him
Loved this interview. Thank you Michael for the courage to share your story. You have a beautiful soul brother.
When I was 28, I heard very clearly in my head “Jesus is coming, and you are not going back with Him.” I was instantly changed. I knew I had to go to confession. I knew I had to be holy but I didn’t know how so my journey began at that moment. It hasn’t stopped since. Life isn’t easy & sometimes it’s probably more difficult but what peace the Lord gives in my soul.
Wow what a powerful message!! How long ago was this?
I heard God tell me that I was not prepared for Jesus coming either. I thought "well , a lot has to happen before He comes" and God said "Jesus was praised as the Son of David a week before he was crucified. You'd be surprised to see how quickly the world can change in a week. This was in March of 2020. A week before the churches were closed due to the pandemic ... 🙏
@@aleconaco1991 I am 60. Thirty two years ago. I still have a long way to go but every day I try. Thank goodness for confession and our sacraments.
I have so much compassion for Micheal, and I relate to him a lot, the need for ritual is something that is deeply ingrained in us, and also led me down a dark path as well, praise God I too, got saved. He's so sensitive and kind. May God keep him on the right path.
You can't sell your soul because it doesn't belong to us
You can pledge allegiance to him but you cannot give your soul away for this sacred gift does not belong to us but to the ONE who gave it.
This is a really good interview. Was definitely worth the Locals subscription to watch it live.
So true
I was born and raised in Dracut, now living next door in Tyngsboro, but my family was one of the first to settle in Haverhill in the 1600's. As a teenager through to my early 20's, I was heavily involved in practicing magic. For some reason, I thought removing or doing rituals without explicit references to pagan gods made it "okay". At the height of my involvement with this stuff, I attended my first TLM and God showed me what I was really looking for. It took a few more years, but I eventually came back to the Church after being away for ten years. Now, praying the Rosary in Latin or simply meditating with the Jesus Prayer gives me more joy than any pagan ritual ever could.
I just went to my first RCIA class thanks to Pints!
God bless you!
Good for you, keep it up 😊
I went to my first last night as well! Bless from England 🏴
thanks be to God!
