A Message of Hope

Foreword

This book was written for priests, religious, and lay people who take spiritual warfare quite seriously and for those who would like to know what spiritual warfare is all about. It was written by someone who could rightly be called an expert in this field because of her many years as a prisoner in a satanic cult. In this book, Deborah Lipsky uses the experiences of her sordid past to help people who are caught up in an occult lifestyle to escape from the slavery of the satanic movement. In so doing, she continues to suffer the attacks and assaults from the “other side”.


Deborah’s inspired words of wisdom are also directed to individuals who need to be protected from the “wickedness and snares of the devil”. Her last chapter is a practical guide for those who desire to defend themselves from evil influences that plague our culture as a result of atheism and various attacks on human life.

Many priests will be very grateful to Deborah for writing this book, as indeed I am. She writes about things that are not taught in seminaries and are sometimes actually ridiculed. Having worked with Deborah, along with Sr. Francanne, on the production of this book, chapter by chapter, I have come to recognize the awesome respect she has for truth. Because of her autism, it seems that she has a heightened awareness of TRUTH, which has come to her in a number of mystical ways. I shall always appreciate what she has taught me about the spiritual life in general and the spiritual warfare in particular. I hope and pray that you will have a similar experience.

Who Should Read This Book?

As a recovering Satanist I still battle temptations like so many others caught in addictions of all sorts. With the help of the Blessed Mother and all the Holy Angels in this book I will share some of these struggles and strategies to overcome them so that those who are undergoing similar experiences can take comfort in knowing that they are not alone and that no matter how desperate or how dismal your circumstance may be, Heaven is waiting to assist you. 


Maybe you aren’t afflicted by the occult but know of someone who is. This is a book that will help you better understand what and who you are up against. There will be strategies throughout this book to help you be victorious in your daily battles against the forces of evil that spend every minute of every day plotting against you whether you are a devout Catholic, born again Christian, agnostic, or even an atheist. Demons don’t discriminate… if you are human and made in the image of God, trust me they will come after you. The key in winning this battle is to know and understand your enemy. 


I have read word by word Deborah’s book, as she was writing. She would send a copy of each Chapter to me in order to look over and see if it is fully in accordance with Catholic teaching. In the Spiritual Warfare there are areas that are not yet clearly defined by the Church. These areas are often interpreted by individuals according to their own experience, but WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK of authentic Catholic Doctrine.


In her final writing I have not found anything that would be contrary to Catholic Faith. I recommend it as being fit to publish.
