Exorcist Reveals: You Are Going to Hell If You Continue These Sins. It’s Not What You Think
When Catholics hear the word “sin,” they often think of the “big ones”: murder, adultery, theft, blasphemy. Many assume that as long as they avoid these obvious transgressions, they are spiritually safe. But according to seasoned exorcists — priests specially trained and appointed by the Church to combat demonic influence — the devil often uses ordinary, everyday sins to trap souls, weaken faith, and ultimately drag people toward hell.
The shocking reality is this: it’s not always the “spectacular” sins that condemn souls. Often, it is the hidden, repeated, and unrepented sins that people overlook, justify, or dismiss as “harmless.” Exorcists warn that continuing in these sins without repentance can put your soul in grave danger.
In this reflection, we will uncover what exorcists have revealed, supported by Scripture and Church teaching, about the sins that quietly destroy souls, how the devil celebrates when people take them lightly, and what you can do to break free and live in God’s mercy.
1. The Nature of Sin: Why Small Sins Lead to Big Consequences.
Before identifying the specific sins, we need to understand how sin works. The Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC 1854–1864) distinguishes between mortal sins and venial sins:
Mortal sin destroys charity in the heart, cuts us off from God, and requires sacramental confession to be forgiven.
Venial sin weakens charity, predisposes us to greater sin, and though not deadly in itself, becomes dangerous if habitual and unrepented.
Exorcists emphasize that the devil doesn’t always start with grave temptations. Instead, he lures people into small compromises, sins that seem minor but over time erode faith, dull the conscience, and open the door to greater evil.
St. Augustine once warned:
“Do not despise small sins. Remember that a flood begins with drops.”
The devil rejoices when Christians brush off these sins as “normal,” because repeated neglect hardens the heart until repentance seems unnecessary.
2. The Sins Exorcists Warn About.
(a) The Sin of Indifference
One of the most dangerous sins today is indifference to God. Many Catholics no longer actively reject God — they simply live as if He does not matter. They may go to Mass occasionally, but their daily choices are guided by comfort, culture, or career rather than faith.
Exorcists warn that indifference is a silent killer of souls. It numbs the conscience, makes prayer seem unnecessary, and blinds people to their need for repentance.
Jesus Himself warns in Revelation 3:16:
“Because you are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth.”
Indifference may not look like rebellion, but in God’s eyes it is rejection. The devil celebrates every time a soul drifts into lukewarmness, because apathy eventually leads to damnation.
(b) The Sin of Gossip and Slander
Many Catholics underestimate the gravity of gossip. Yet exorcists repeatedly affirm that the devil is the accuser (Revelation 12:10). When we gossip, slander, or destroy someone’s reputation, we imitate the enemy himself.
Gossip seems harmless — “just talking.” But words can kill. Destroying another person’s name is a violation of the Eighth Commandment. It can ruin families, parishes, and communities.
Exorcists say that gossip and slander often create spiritual strongholds, binding the speaker to bitterness, pride, and envy. Unless repented, this “everyday sin” can cost a soul eternity.
(c) The Sin of Unforgiveness
Time and again, exorcists stress the devastating power of unforgiveness. In many exorcism cases, the inability or refusal to forgive is the greatest obstacle to liberation.
Jesus Himself said clearly in Matthew 6:14-15:
“If you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you; but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.”
Unforgiveness chains the soul to anger and resentment. It allows bitterness to poison relationships, block grace, and even invite demonic oppression.
Exorcists testify that many people remain spiritually bound not because of curses or witchcraft, but because they refuse to release others from the debts of past wounds.
(d) The Sin of Neglecting Prayer
The devil doesn’t always tempt people into obvious rebellion. Sometimes he only needs to convince them to neglect prayer.
Exorcists say that when Catholics stop praying, they become spiritually defenseless. Skipping daily prayer, ignoring Scripture, or treating the Rosary as optional weakens the soul’s armor. Prayer is what keeps us connected to God and resistant to temptation.
Jesus warned in Matthew 26:41:
“Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
The devil celebrates when prayer fades from daily life, because without prayer, sin becomes normal and faith eventually withers.
(e) The Sin of Missing Mass Casually
Many Catholics assume missing Sunday Mass is no big deal. Yet the Catechism (CCC 2181) is clear:
“Those who deliberately fail in this obligation commit a grave sin.”
Exorcists warn that the devil targets Catholics who habitually skip Mass, Each absence not only separates them from the Eucharist — the source of grace — but also hardens their conscience against God’s commandments.
It is one thing to miss Mass due to illness or necessity, but to treat it as optional is a grave offense. Souls that persist in neglecting Mass are in mortal danger.
(f) The Sin of Sexual Impurity
Exorcists consistently identify sins of impurity as a major weapon of the devil. Po*******hy, fornication, adultery, cohabitation, contraception, and lust dominate our culture, and many Catholics have been deceived into thinking these are minor issues.
But Scripture is clear. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 warns:
“Do not be deceived: neither the s*xually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who have s*x with men… will inherit the kingdom of God.”
Exorcists stress that habitual impurity opens doors to demonic influence and destroys the soul’s capacity for true love. The devil celebrates every click on po*******hy, every compromise of chastity, every “harmless flirtation” — because each one erodes purity and prepares a soul for ruin.
(g) The Sin of Occult Practices
Horoscopes. Tarot cards. Ouija boards. Energy crystals. Witchcraft. Many people dabble in these out of curiosity or for “fun,” but exorcists warn that these practices invite demonic presence directly.
Deuteronomy 18:10-12 makes it clear:
“There shall not be found among you anyone who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft… Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord.”
Exorcists insist that even light involvement in occult practices can bind souls and open spiritual doors that are difficult to close without deliverance.
(h) The Sin of Pride and Self-Sufficiency
At the root of many sins lies pride — the refusal to submit to God. Pride says: “I don’t need confession. I don’t need the Church. I decide what’s right.”
This was Lucifer’s sin. Exorcists say that pride is the devil’s favorite tool because it blinds souls to their need for repentance. Pride turns even religious practices into self-glorification.
James 4:6 warns:
“God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”
The devil celebrates every time a soul insists, “I’m fine as I am; I don’t need God.”
3. Why These Sins Are So Dangerous.
What makes these sins particularly deadly is not always their severity, but their hiddenness and persistence.
They are often dismissed as “normal” or “not serious.”
They harden the heart gradually.
They open spiritual doors to demonic influence.
They make repentance seem unnecessary.
Exorcists emphasize that hell is filled not only with murderers and tyrants, but with ordinary people who simply refused to repent of ordinary sins.
4. The Way Out: Repentance, Confession, and Conversion.
The good news is this: no sin is greater than God’s mercy. Exorcists stress that deliverance always begins with sincere repentance.
(a) Repentance
Recognize the sin for what it is. Stop making excuses. Humble yourself before God and admit: “Lord, I have sinned. I need Your mercy.”
(b) Confession
The Sacrament of Reconciliation is the most powerful weapon against sin. Confession not only forgives sins but also strengthens the soul against future attacks. Exorcists testify that confession breaks spiritual chains more effectively than any ritual.
(c) Conversion
True repentance requires change. Replace gossip with blessing, unforgiveness with mercy, impurity with chastity, indifference with prayer. Conversion is not a one-time event but a daily turning to God.
5. Weapons for the Battle.
To resist these sins, exorcists recommend:
Daily prayer — especially the Rosary.
Frequent confession.
Regular Mass and Eucharistic Adoration.
Reading Scripture daily.
Using sacramentals such as holy water, crucifixes, and St. Benedict medals.
Fasting and acts of penance.
These practices build spiritual strength and close the doors that sin opens.
6. The Urgency of the Warning.
Exorcists speak with urgency because they see firsthand the consequences of unrepented sin. They encounter souls tormented by demons, families destroyed by unforgiveness, and communities weakened by gossip and indifference.
Hell is not filled only with notorious sinners. It is filled with ordinary people who said: “My sins aren’t that serious.” The devil celebrates every time someone minimizes sin.
But heaven rejoices over every sinner who repents (Luke 15:7).
Final Reflection.
“Exorcist Reveals: You Are Going to Hell If You Continue These Sins — It’s Not What You Think.”
Indeed, it is not always the obvious sins that damn souls. It is the subtle ones:
indifference,
gossip,
unforgiveness,
neglect of prayer,
impurity,
pride,
occult dabbling.
The devil thrives on these hidden chains because they destroy souls quietly.
But you do not have to remain bound. Christ has already won the victory. His Cross breaks every chain. His mercy is greater than every sin.
The choice is yours: continue down the path of hidden sin, or turn back to God in repentance, confession, and conversion.
Today, resolve to break free. Do not let the devil celebrate over your soul. Let heaven rejoice over your repentance.
May the Blessed Virgin Mary, St. Michael the Archangel, and all the saints intercede for us, that we may recognize our sins, repent sincerely, and walk in the freedom of Christ.
