Warning II

Consecration vows are dangerous because the devil can operate under any name and title he wants. A good example of this comes from all the false apparition sites that have been condemned by the Catholic Church. At many of these sites, the spiritual entities that have been delivering messages to the seers have made numerous requests for their followers to consecrate themselves into their protection and power.

A good example of this comes from the Marian Movement of Priests where the spiritual entity that has been appearing to Father Don Stefano Gobbi describes the results of the consecration by saying, "With the act of consecration, you have put your life in my hands. Now it belongs to me; it is mine. I have taken possession of it, and now, bit by bit, I am transforming it according to my will."¹

Once an unknown spiritual entity takes control of your life, you can expect disasterous results. A good example of this comes from Patricia Menezes. According to the seer's website, after Patricia made an act of consecration to the Blessed Virgin Mary, a spiritual entity began appearing to her and delivering the Messages of Divine Innocence in the form of visions and interior locutions.

After making an appearance to Patricia, the entity said, "I am the Immaculate Mother of God, Mother of the Hidden and Mystical Wounds—Mother of England and Mother of the world. I come to gather in all my children everywhere. It is only in a mother's arms that a child is safe. My arms are open to receive you so tenderly. No one who comes to me will be lost!"²

After careful examination of this apparition site, Most Reverend Kevin McDonald, the Archbishop of Southwark, issued a negative decree against the messages because they made exaggerated claims and used inappropriate words and phrases to describe Jesus.³ After the investigation, the archdiocese concluded that the spiritual entities appearing to Patricia Menezes could not be from God.

Another example of how unknown spiritual entities can take control of a person's life comes from Vassula Ryden. According to the seer's website, one day a spiritual entity manifested itself by moving Vassula's hand without her being able to control it, forming words and drawings. By this means, Vassula started to receive "messages" for about four to six hours a day.⁴

On April 9, 1998, an entity gave Vassula a message saying, "You are, My Vassula, consecrated to Me, and you have signed your consecration to Me with your own blood." To help explain the meaning of this message to her followers, Vassula stated, "I had pricked my finger and signed then with my own blood the consecration to become the Slave of our Blessed Mother."⁵

Another example that reveals the desire of these entities to have their followers consecrate themselves into their possession and property comes from the life of Julia Kim. According to the seer's website, the entity that has been appearing to Julia has been making the following request from her supporters, "It is time to consecrate yourselves to me. Why do you hesitate again and again?"⁶

Because these apparition sites have been carefully examined and condemned by the Catholic Church, it is safe to conclude that the spiritual entities that are appearing to these seers are not coming from God, his angels, or his saints. That only leaves two other possibilities: these visions are self-imposed delusions from the seer's imagination, or they are coming from demonic sources.

If the devil were to appear at a false apparition site and suggest that everyone sell their souls into his possession and property, no one would obey. Everyone would flee for their lives. In order for the devil to deceive as many people as possible, he would need to disguise his true identity and appear in the form of an "angel of light," as one of the saints, or even as the Blessed Mother.

For example, on June 2, 1994, an entity appearing under the title of Our Lady of Emmitsburg said to seer Gianna Talone-Sullivan, "Please, little ones, I can no longer hold back the hand of my Son from the sorrow incurred on His Sacred Heart. My little ones, you must dive into my most Immaculate Heart immediately! I wish for you all to be consecrated to my Immaculate Heart and to be safe and free!"⁷

According to another condemned apparition site, the seer William Kamm from the Saint Charbel Community's website states that each member of their community consecrates themselves to the Immaculate Heart of Mary every day. At the community's midday prayers, the consecration vows are renewed by all the members using the Saint Louis de Montfort formula.⁸

Currently, William Kamm is serving a ten-year prison sentence for having sexual relations with a fifteen-year-old girl after the Blessed Mother allegedly gave him permission to make her one of his twelve queens and seventy-two princesses needed to spawn a new human race. Apparently, the Virgin Mary also gave permission to the young girl to have an "intimate union" with Kamm after he appointed her as one of his queens.⁹

These types of vows are dangerous because if the messages are coming from the devil, then everybody who follows the devil's directives is making an agreement with fallen angels. Once these vows are made, the spiritual entities that have been appearing at these sites will have the legal right to hinder, prevent, and obstruct that person's ability to enter into a life-saving relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.

After making consecration vows with these unknown spiritual entities, many of the participants feel spiritually blessed. Some people have even received special favors from these entities, while others can testify that all their problems in life simply faded away after making their consecration. What most people fail to understand is that Satan has the power to make all of their problems in life disappear, and he can even bless his followers with unlimited power and riches, all in exchange for their devotion.

A good example of this comes from the life of Christ when he was led by the Spirit into the wilderness. The devil appeared to him and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world. Then the devil said to him, "To you I will give their glory and all this authority; for it has been given over to me, and I give it to anyone I please. If you, then, will worship me, it will all be yours."¹⁰

Of course Christ rejected Satan's offer, but that didn't stop Satan from making the same promise to millions of other unsuspecting souls throughout history. The devil has the power to give his followers unlimited power, riches, and pleasure all in exchange for their devotion. The process starts with renouncing their original baptismal vows, choosing an alternative form of salvation, and selling their soul into an unknown entity's possession and power.

If you have ratified your original baptismal vows and consecrated yourself to any type of spiritual entity other than the Blessed Trinity, it will be necessary to denounce these vows in the name, power, and authority of the Lord Jesus Christ.
