I am Protestant, baptized and raised, but I do not ever hear about Protestant pastors driving out demons in exorcisms. We know the spiritual world is real, so exorcisms have to be real by default. Demons can call out our sins to accuse us and drag us down with them, so that is also universal between Catholics and Protestants.
So what is the defining difference that gives Catholics the power to do the exorcisms and not Protestants?
Do they teach in a way that gives more divine authority? Are we doing something wrong? Or is it withholding information within the Catholic church?
Additional thoughts-
Deliverance / bonds broken - can be done in as little as an hour or so, depending on the number of sins/demons that are present. It’s almost always more though, especially if the person has been involved with the occult because those demons are normally stronger and associated with others in layers.
I’ve been in two that lasted over 4 hours. Most are around 2-3 hours. Only 3 have been incomplete or not successful. Why? Because the person wanted to hang onto some form of unforgiveness towards someone else OR they wanted to keep the demon and/or worldly things that gave them power.
Otherwise, everything comes out. All demons must leave a believer who wants deliverance, when the name of Jesus is used. The power in His name is incredible.
