From the earliest days of the Church, Christians have honored Mary, the Mother of Jesus, as uniquely blessed. Yet in modern times, her role is often misunderstood, ignored, or minimized. Still, countless testimonies — from Scripture to exorcists — reveal why her name strikes fear into the powers of darkness.
Mary in Scripture:
- Luke 1:28 — “Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you.”
- Luke 1:48 — “All generations will call me blessed.”
- Genesis 3:15 — “I will put enmity between you and the woman … he will crush your head.”
- John 19:26–27 — “Behold your mother.”
Mary is the “woman” of prophecy, chosen to bring forth the Savior. Her humble “yes” shattered Satan’s plan and allowed Christ to enter the world.
Why Demons Fear Her Name:
Exorcists consistently report that invoking the name of Mary during spiritual battle causes torment to demons. Why? Because Mary’s entire existence points to Christ. Her humility and obedience broke the chain of rebellion that began with Eve. Demons cannot bear the one whose faith crushed their lies.
Modern Voices Recognizing Mary’s Importance:
Even today, across denominations and backgrounds, leaders and influencers are beginning to recognize that Mary’s example is sorely missing in our world. Some Protestant speakers have admitted that she is not honored enough, and that women — and men — would do well to follow her example of faith, purity, and reverence.
Mary’s Role for Us Today:
- She is Mother of Jesus and Mother of the Church.
- She is full of grace and intercedes for believers.
- She is the model of obedience, purity, humility, and faith.
- She is a sign of hope that Satan’s power is not final.
Conclusion:
Demons do not fear Mary because she is God — they fear her because she is completely surrendered to God. Her very life points to Christ, and her intercession is powerful because it is united with His will. To honor her is not to diminish Jesus, but to glorify the One who chose her to bear Him.
