Chad Ripperger

You mentioned, you know, willpower and intention when you're in that realm and how to get in and out and using your will.

It's interesting because the exor- famous exorcist, I guess, Father Chad Ripperger, talked about this a lot.

He talks about a spiritual realm, the entities that they deal with to perform these exorcisms or to fight these demons that, you know, fr- from that perspective, it's all about will and intention and their will against your will.

And, and it's interesting that you use the same terminology because I think that there's definitely a through line there with, you know, we call it the astral realm.

but that's true.

Could we, Bishop Strickland, get your blessing and also ask for your prayers, because you're going to be at our Spiritual Warfare Conference with Father Chad Ripperger March 18th and 19th of next year, along with Jesse Romero and Diane Snyder and others.

It's going to be a great conference, and people can actually meet you there at that conference.

People can go to vmpr.org to register for that.

I think that makes total sense.

I remember Father Chad Ripperger saying the same exact thing.

It's Our Lady.

It's Our Lady.

Yeah.

Yeah, Ripperger talks a lot about that, too.

And in the spiritual world, the legalistic world, there's reasons why you only have authority over that which you have authority, that which you own.

A husband has authority over his wife.

In fact, they do have a choice, and they still choose hell anyway.

Father Ripperger, the famous exorcist, has said before that he's talked to demons about the fall and, you know, asking, "Did you know what your decision would lead to?" "Yes," they say, you know.

"And would you make that decision again?" "Yes." And they're very just, like, just direct about the decision they have made that's a hellish decision.

So let's look at it this way.

You know, we've been reflecting today on these seven sorrows of Mary on this Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows.

There's a sort of famous internet exorcist, Father Ripperger, and his community is somehow dedicated to Our Lady of Sorrows.

I don't know if it's the name of their community, but he, I think if I got this right, he would reference the fact that Our Lady of Sorrows is called upon as a particularly powerful title in situations of spiritual battle, of fighting against the realm of the demonic.

And in the last 30 seconds, can you come up with an insight of why that would be the case?

There is no such thing.

And Father Ripperger said the same thing that you are either growing or you're going backward.

There is no neutral gear.

I want you to memorize this quote.

One is a sword that was given to me by a friend of mine, Dr. Dan Schneider.

He does a lot of deliverance ministry work with Father Chad Ripperger and all.

And he's a cavalry scout from the first Gulf War.

He was an attack helicopter pilot.

Just because these stories took place 1,500 years ago, it's still taking place today.

Talk to Father Chad Ripperger.

He's coming-

Oh, yeah

at all whatsoever so now so now he has just lost an entire domain that we brought up on that graph that we had before and then that also extends to preference which was explicitly in your documentary which he must have disagreed with unless he's changed his opinion as of recently

Because Ripperger said it, you mean?

Right.

Right.

Because Ripperger said it in the documentary that he appeared in.

Maybe he disagreed and just decided not to say anything about it.

I don't know.

Oh, my gosh.
