Seven Demons Signify Total Spiritual Overwhelm

- Father Carlos Martins links the number seven to complete overwhelm and the danger of being left 'swept clean' and vulnerable to re-possession.
Trauma And Moral Context Open The Door To Possession
- Wounds, trauma, and moral chaos prepare people for demonic domination.
- Father Carlos Martins points to Magdalene's likely upbringing in immoral Magdala and church tradition linking her to sexual sin as vulnerability factors.
Fill Yourself With The Holy Spirit To Prevent Repossession
- Avoid leaving oneself 'swept clean' spiritually, because emptiness invites demonic repossession.
- Father Carlos Martins cites Jesus' warning that failing to fill oneself with the Holy Spirit risks worse return of evil spirits.
