This is the book of the Philippines’ official exorcist Fr. Jose Francisco C. Syquia. He narrates his work experiences and encounters with the manifestators of the evil spirits. He also give the Catholics some tips about their Faith.
The book review of motivational Catholic preacher Bo Sanchez urged me to buy this book, Exorcism: Encounter With The Paranormal and the Occult. The author of this book is a Director of Archdiocese of Manila Office of Exorcism, Fr. Jose Francisco C. Syquia.
The book contains the narrative explanation of Cathlicism and Philippine Folk Religion, the secrets of the New Age Movement, and the expository of ministry of the exorcism.
After reading this new and controversial book of Fr. Jose Francisco C. Syquia, my devotion to Mama Mary strengthen and also with my faith to Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. This book urged me to go back to the Sacraments of the Church.
Summary
The truth is the devil really exists. That is why we have some struggles. But, God calls us to fight against the kingdom of Hell.
Adam and Eve were given the supernatural gift of grace and preternatural gifts. The preternatural gifts is ESP. After they both fall from sins, the preternatural gifts remained. Except for the saints, the opening of the third eye becomes a doorway for evil spirits to harrass the people.
Catholicism is against the witchcraft, shamanism, sorcery, spell-craft, spiritism, divination, and other occult practices, which can be found in New Age Movement and Fok Religion. Through the Sacraments and devotion to Mama Mary and Jesus Christ with the intercession of the saints and angels, we can overcome the temptation to practice the occult.
Conclusion
Before, I have curiosity with New Age Movement and Folk Religion. Thanks to God in which I found this book to enlighten me all possibilities. Through reading this book, God opened my eyes and ears to the true Light which can be found in the kingdom of God.
My faith was strengthen as I prayed the Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Divine Mercy Chaplet regularly. I frequently have the Sacrament of Reconciliation and Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist because I know that I am not perfect.
If you consider me as a religious freak, it is fine with me. But, I tell you the truth. I renounce my evil ways related to sorcery, and I am striving hard through the help of the Holy Spirit to be a good child of God. I maybe not perfect but, as a Catholic, I need the Sacraments of the Church. And, this is the story of my faith

41 “Sasabihin naman niya sa mga nasa kaliwa, ‘Lumayo kayo sa harapan ko! Isinumpa kayo sa apoy na di namamatay na inihanda para sa diyablo at sa kanyang mga kampon. 46 Itataboy ang mga ito sa kaparusahang walang hanggan, ngunit ang mga matuwid ay magkakaroon ng buhay na walang hanggan.”

FALLEN ANGELS AND DEMON POSSESIONS:
The Fallen Angels (Demons)
These beings, because of pride, did not return God’s love. God did not destroy them, but permits them a limited scope of activity. Their condition is permanent for no creature can turn away from the perfect good of the beatific vision once he has come to enjoy it, and no additional reflection could change the mind of a purely spiritual being who has turned away.
Demons are fallen angels under the command of Satan, those who are still free after the Gen. 6 affair. Satan is called the Prince, or Ruler, of all demons in Matthew 9:34; 12:24; Mark 3:22; Luke 11:15. Demons are also called the ministers, or ambassadors of Satan, Luke 4:35; 9:1,42; John 10:21. Satan is brilliant, an administrative genius. He has an excellent organization, mentioned in Eph. 6:10-12 (READ) The Bible also makes a distinction between demon possession and demon influence.
24Kapag ang karumal-dumal na espiritu ay lumabas sa isang tao, gumagala siya sa mga tuyong dako. Naghahanap siya ng mapagpapahingahan ngunit wala siyang matagpuan. Kaya sasabihin niya: Babalik ako sa bahay na pinanggalingan ko. 25Sa pagbalik niya, matatagpuan niya itong nawalisan at nagayakan na. 26Kung magkagayon, paroroon siya at magsasama ng pito pang espiritu na higit pang masama kaysa sa kaniya. Papasok sila roon at doon maninirahan. Kaya ang kalagayan ng lalaking iyon ay masahol pa kaysa sa una.

18 Pinagwikaan ni Jesus ang demonyo at lumabas ito, at ang bata’y gumaling agad.
19 Pagkatapos ay lumapit ang mga alagad kay Jesus at nagtanong nang walang ibang nakaririnig, “Bakit hindi po namin mapalayas ang demonyo?” 20 Sumagot siya, “Dahil sa kaliitan ng inyong pananalig. Sinasabi ko sa inyo: kung maging sinlaki man lamang ng butil ng mustasa ang inyong pananalig sa Diyos, masasabi ninyo sa bundok na ito, ‘Lumipat ka roon!’ at lilipat ito. Walang bagay na hindi ninyo mapangyayari. 21 [Ngunit ang ganitong uri ng demonyo ay hindi mapalalayas kundi sa pamamagitan ng panalangin at pag-aayuno.]”

Amen! i recommend it to everyone as well. I have actually shared my copy of the book to family members so that they may be enlightened, too. Actually, I’ve been wanting to read the book for months ever since I saw it in St. Pauls-Gateway. Eventually, I found out why after my boss gave me the book as a gift before she left our team since she was fond of me. It was the Holy Spirit nudging me during that time at St. Pauls to come closer to God and be enlightened of why so many “mishaps” took place in my life and of my family’s. Thank God for Father Syquia and for Bo Sanchez for publishing his book! Amen!
