Orthodox prayer from demons. Who are demons and their influence on people

About 2 years ago, exhausted by the painful consequences of the sin of unnatural fornication, I accidentally learned about the services of a grandmother who supposedly knows how to look at water and remove damage, and turned to her. When I got there, she whispered some prayers over a cup of water, then put the cup on my head and read a certain sequence of spells and prayers and gave me a drink. At the same time, I felt some strange warmth, and it was as if I was enveloped in some kind of whitish fog. Being in this strange aura, I saw everything as if through some kind of cloudy whitish fog. After which the grandmother gave me instructions to perform certain procedures, and, returning from there, I continued to remain in this foggy aura. In confession, I told the priests about visiting my grandmother, and they warned me that it was a sin, and that the demon would return and bring 7 others with him, however, I ignored their warnings and continued to visit my grandmother. In addition, I dared to offer a willful prayer for the return of the enlightened state of consciousness that I had previously achieved, etc. in the same spirit, and repeated this request before the church several times. At the same time, I seemed to feel some kind of increased prayer power within me. But a few days later, when I was sitting alone, I felt as if some kind of stream of strange sweetness was entering me in the chest area, and at the same time I felt someone’s presence right in front of me, although I did not see anyone. I stood up and bowed before this invisibly standing figure, while I felt his ghostly feet on the floor, from which some ghostly streams of energy spread and flowed into my head. When I tried to pray, with every word some kind of sweetness flowed into my soul, which made me even want to speak, but this sweetness was somehow false. At the same time, my mind was distracted from the things I was doing and I became unable to do normal things. After some time, information began to come into my head from somewhere outside about people whom I had previously known, information about events that had previously happened to me, previously unknown to me, and my mind was increasingly immersed in a state of some kind of alienation from real world, and I even began to feel the urge to leave the house. I was almost convinced that I had been visited by a miraculous visitation and had been given spiritual gifts, but just before going to bed I remembered what I knew about the state of delusion and realized that I was in a state of delusion. So the next morning I went to church in fear, called the priest and began to tell him what had happened. Without listening to the end, he brought a confession, began to speak for me, and as soon as he baptized me, it was as if this veil had fallen from me, and I saw everything in a different light, different from ordinary consciousness, and I felt the Divine power prevailing over me, which everything grew and caused me something like an overwhelming burning sensation, in short, I apparently came to a state free from delusion and fell into the hands of the Zhivago God. After which the priest came up, raised me to my feet, blessed me to receive communion and said that in the Vvedno church there was a lecture from Father Alexander, and I needed to go there. After which they brought me home, and I gradually descended back from this state of grace, in which it was very difficult for me to remain, and at the same time I felt the presence of demonic forces next to me. After which a whole series of demonic obsessions followed, and, probably, only through the efforts of the Guardian Angel did I not become completely possessed. However, demons took over my mind, and under their influence I was in a state of mental disorder for a whole week, until I was finally taken to Father Alexander for reprimand. After which my psyche returned to a normal state, and the demons, apparently, left me, but they continued to fake intimidation in my dreams for some time. However, about a year after my first visit to my grandmother, all sorts of dark thoughts and fantasies gradually began to creep into my head, into which my mind was actively involved; in short, I entered some kind of painful state of consciousness, in which my soul and mind were painfully tense and constrained from the inside, and the senses came into a state of painful tension. Then I again had to go to lectures to exorcise the demon. This made me feel better, but I continued to feel some kind of painful disorder in the functioning of the mind, psyche and sense organs. After a few more months, unpleasant sensations arose again, which were expressed in the fact that I either felt my body suspended in the air like a rag, or felt complete discord and insomnia in my head, and could not put my consciousness together, etc. Only after I went to the lecture again did I feel better, but I am afraid that after a while the attacks of demons will begin again at the most inopportune moment. In addition, in a random conversation with fellow students, the conversation came up about my grandmother, and I ended up giving my grandmother’s phone number to one of them, which probably aggravates my guilt even more. To make amends for my guilt, I brought her to the prayer service as well. When I told Father Alexander about my visit to my grandmother and the consequences during the reprimand, he said that I had violated the Law of God, and that I needed to write a general confession from the age of 7 and the curse needed to be lifted from me. When I said that in confession I had already repented of this sin many times, he asked if they had read a prayer over me to remove the curse? I answered that no, then he repeated that I needed to write a general confession and repent properly, but I still didn’t understand about lifting the curse. So I wrote here to find out mainly these questions: Did I bring a curse or something like that on myself by visiting my grandmother, and if so, what is this curse? If this curse is an act of calling upon me demonic forces, as a result of which they gained certain access to me, then how far does it spread over time, what consequences does it have and what is necessary to remove it? Is it enough that I confessed this sin, took communion and attended a prayer service to cast out demons, or is something else required - a prayer to remove the curse or something else like that? To what extent is it even possible to get rid of all these consequences? Are all the painful symptoms described above a consequence of the fact that the demon comes to me at a certain distance and spreads some of its waves or something else onto me? What worries me even more is that, perhaps, since I once came into contact with my grandmother, the conductor of the devil’s power in this world, the consequences of this are not limited to the fact that a certain number of demons came to me at a certain distance and do some obsessions and illnesses. If Satan is the prince of this world, and the information that I have gleaned about him indicates that he is an airy prince, a ruler of the world, that he stands everywhere, etc., then this leads me to assume that by visiting my grandmother I violated the alienation and protection of my soul and my entire structure from Satan established by Baptism and that my soul has now come into contact not only with individual demons, but also with Satan, who, apparently, is not only a person, but also an integral part of the current universe, since soon he will be the ruler of the world, etc. And that the protective shell, which previously separated me from the world-holding and omnipresent power of Satan and made my soul alien to him, has now, as a result of a visit to my grandmother, been destroyed, and I am now in my spiritual being not only in contact with God, but and with Satan, who now has direct access to my soul for his destructive influences. It seems that it is the Mother of God who makes a protective shell around a person, and my fears that it has been destroyed partially or completely are based on the fact that, as I described above, streams of satanic energy flowed into my soul, producing a feeling of false sweetness in it. My greatest fear is that streams of satanic energy are flowing into my eyes and head, and that the protective covering has been removed from my eyes. These concerns are based on the fact that I experienced some hallucinations while watching TV, etc. I hope that these assumptions of mine are incorrect, but this cannot be left to chance, and if you are competent in these matters, please confirm or refute them. AND.

Hieromonk Job (Gumerov) answers:

Dear I.! The protective shell that you write about is nothing more than our physical body in a certain state. Saint Ignatius (Brianchaninov) writes about this: The divinely inspired writer of the Book of Genesis says that after the fall of the first people, God, having pronounced judgment on them, even before their expulsion from paradise, made them garments of skins and clothed them (Genesis 3:21). Leather vestments, according to the explanation of the Holy Fathers (St. John of Damascus. An exact exposition of the Orthodox faith, book 3, chapter 1), mean our coarse flesh, which, during the fall, changed: it lost its subtlety and spirituality, and received its present plumpness. Although the initial cause of the change was the fall; but the change took place under the influence of the Almighty Creator, through His ineffable mercy towards them, to our greatest good. Among other beneficial consequences for us that flow from the state in which our body now finds itself, we must point out that by allowing our body to become fat, we have become incapable of sensually seeing the spirits into whose region we have fallen. Man has free will and, unfortunately, often abuses it. Consciously turning to evil spirits deprives our body of its ability to be a natural defense. Demons find access to the soul and lead it to a painful state. A person’s sincere appeal to God through the sacraments of repentance, communion and unction deprives demons of power over a person. Alive in the help of Vyshnyago. He will dwell in the shelter of the Heavenly God. Says the Lord: Thou art my protector, and my refuge, my God, and I trust in Him.(Ps.90:1). When a person begins to live in the grace-filled experience of the Church, his will is freed from direct dependence on fallen spirits. However, the soul, having gone through the terrible experience of the fall, continues to experience the consequences of the violence committed against it for a long time.

Dear I.! You must believe that the Lord wants and can heal you. You do not need to look for any special prayers and think about removing the “curse”. Sincerely and regularly participate in the prayer and liturgical life of the Church, zealously approach the holy sacraments, be sure to observe fasts, and follow the morning and evening rules. Prayerfully proceed to the healing relics of the saints of God: St. Sergius of Radonezh, Saints Mitrofan of Voronezh and Tikhon of Zadonsk, Blessed Matrona of Moscow and others. Decisively distance yourself from everything harmful: TV, reading unhealthy books, etc. Otherwise, the healing of your spiritually weakened soul will be delayed.

The “hallucinations” you write about are a subjective phenomenon. This is caused by demons who want to instill fear in you. There is no need to be afraid of them. Spiritually they are nothing. Their apparent power appears only when we are powerless and give them meaning. You have a “protective shell”, because church sacraments heal not only the soul, but also the body. Through them a person is reborn. The devil is not “an integral part of the current universe.” He is called the prince of peace (John 14:30), world ruler of the darkness of this age(Eph.6:12) because he rules the part of humanity that has fallen away from God.

With humility and reverence let us follow the teaching of the Holy Fathers and the tradition of the Orthodox Church! Let us reverently submit to the institution of God, who covered our souls with thick curtains and shrouds of bodies during our earthly wanderings, separating us with them from the created spirits, shielding and protecting us from the fallen spirits. We do not need a sensual vision of spirits to complete our earthly, arduous journey. For this we need another lamp, and it is given to us: The lamp of my feet is Your law, and the light of my paths (Psalm 119, 105). Those who travel under the constant radiance of the lamp - the Law of God - will not be deceived either by their passions or by fallen spirits, as Scripture testifies(Saint Ignatius Brianchaninov).

In our ultra-modern, high-tech world, demons, oddly enough, are absolutely real. They can take different forms and can penetrate everywhere. There are no barriers or locked doors for them - they pass through walls, and they can just as easily penetrate the human body. There is only one defense against them - prayer from demons. It is no coincidence that those places where prayer is present and prayers are constantly heard (churches, monasteries) are not tolerated by demons.

The best prayer from demons and otherworldly forces

A person who has fallen away from the faith, who does not pray, does not attend church, can become an easy prey for dark forces. Those who cannot get rid of their bad habits and destructive passions are in even greater danger. By indulging their sinful inclinations, people, one might say, clear space in their souls for dark forces. An invading demon strengthens existing sins and passions and contributes to the emergence of new ones. Having taken possession of a drinking person, the demon not only greatly increases the craving for alcohol, but also pushes him to commit a fight, violence, and drunken robbery. Prayer from demons to Moses Murin not only drives out dark forces, but also eliminates the addiction to drinking. Prayer from demons will help you get rid of any attacks.

Orthodox prayer that delivers from demons and other evil spirits

The phrase “bad apartment” did not appear by chance. It happens that evil spirits take up residence in a house or apartment, making living there absolutely unbearable. This usually happens after a murder or suicide that occurs in the home. Orthodox prayer against demons cleanses the room of evil spirits. And a prayer against demonism, read daily, creates an insurmountable barrier and protects against a repetition of the situation in the future.

Text of the Orthodox prayer against demonism to Seraphim of Sarov

O great servant of God, venerable and God-bearing Father Seraphim! Look down from the glory on high upon us, the humble and weak, burdened with many sins, your help and consolation for those asking. Reach out to us with your mercy and help us to immaculately preserve the commandments of the Lord, to firmly maintain the Orthodox faith, to diligently bring repentance for our sins to God, to gracefully prosper in piety as Christians and to be worthy of your prayerful intercession for us. To her, Holiness of God, hear us praying to you with faith and love, and do not despise us who demand your intercession: now and at the hour of our death, help us and protect us with your prayers from the evil slander of the devil, so that those powers do not possess us, but May we be worthy, with your help, to inherit the bliss of the abode of paradise. We now place our hope in you, merciful Father: be truly a guide to salvation for us and lead us to the unevening light of Eternal Life by your God-pleasing intercession at the Throne of the Most Holy Trinity, so that we glorify and sing with all the saints the venerable Name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit forever centuries. Amen.

Italian researcher Luciano Boccone conducted a series of experiments that showed that the space around us is filled with invisible to the human eye, but real creatures. Beccone called them “critters,” that is, “creatures.”

In the desert area of Arenzano, on a high hill, Boccone created his research base. He equipped it with modern equipment for recording electromagnetic and gravitational fields and various types of radiation. As soon as the instruments noted an unusual deviation in the parameters, cameras and movie cameras were automatically turned on. They recorded everything objectively.

After three years of such observations, Boccone came to the conclusion that energy forms of life exist in near-Earth space. How else can one explain that the most incredible creatures appeared on film - huge amoebas hanging in the air, mysterious winged creatures called “griffosaurs” or “neopterodactli”?.. Sometimes they were luminous quasi-human creatures, sometimes just blurry amorphous masses. Boccone suggested that energetic life is more ancient.

Boccone also came to the conclusion that these “creatures” are not just living, but also highly intelligent beings who are increasingly interfering in our lives today.

From the following we will learn what this “interference in our lives” is and how to deal with it.

1. “After reading your book “Cleansing the Body,” I decided to cleanse the field life form through circulatory breathing. Oh, what have I done?! Where did I go?!
I did everything as you teach in the method. During the session, I began to twist, bend, growl, and after the session, my hands were pulled up and they began to describe a figure above me. After a while, I calmed down and decided that the demon had left me, I was happy, my soul felt calm and light. After the second cleansing session, my hands again did strange things.
In the evening I decided to talk to the “spirit” that moved my hands. She relaxed her hands, concentrated and began to ask. The hands “talked” to me with elementary signs, listing those who could contact me, and settled on God.

(You see, at first he moved his hands, and now he started talking.)

Good people sent me to church to talk to the priest, and he immediately opened my eyes that it was a demon. At first I didn’t believe it, he sent me on a good deed - to treat people selflessly, he extolled you - a great man, but at the same time promised wealth, happiness, praised me and my children.

(This is called “charm” - to charm your teeth so that you obey him, and imperceptibly lead you to destruction.)

That's what they pushed me to do.
This is how he seduces everyone, to which his heart is more inclined. And on the day when the Sons of Men become completely slaves to all this vanity and all these abominations, then he takes away, in the form of payment for pleasure, from the Sons of Men all the goodness that Mother Earth gave us in such abundance. He deprives them of breath, blood, bones, flesh, entrails, eyes and ears. The breath of the Sons of Men becomes short, intermittent and painful, it becomes fetid, like the breath of unclean animals. The blood of the Sons of Men thickens, spreading a sickening stench like water in a swamp. Their bones become deformed, become brittle, become covered with knots on the outside and decompose on the inside. Their skin becomes oily and swollen. Their insides are filled with disgusting sewage, forming rotting, fetid streams in which countless filthy worms nest. And so in the end the Son of Man loses his life due to his own mistakes...".)

Now I don’t make contact (with the demon), he torments me, pushes me to suicide, torments my soul. My only salvation is church, I go there every day, I read prayers, I have received communion once so far, but my soul has already become lighter, although my body is in a suspended state. Who are you?

(Ordinary person.)

What forces rule you?

(The same as for all people.)

If they are dark, then keep in mind that no matter how bad I feel, I will not give up, I will fight. God is stronger than you.

(Interesting! Everything is presented in such a way that I am the demon who struck this woman.)

He will protect me, because I believed in his strength and power over everyone and over demons, no matter how evil they may be. And if you are just a person, then God will forgive you. Me too."

(This woman must fight with hunger and prayers. Lead a moral life so that other demons do not penetrate a person’s consciousness through his desires, feelings and ambitions.)

My cleansing is moving forward: for 2 winters I have been fasting for 7...12 days, almost every month, this is already a need. Apparently, she reached a certain point where she began to throw off the creatures (and we are all covered with them and are energy food - that’s for sure).

She also wrote about how she fell in church and was painfully searching for an answer - why? I found it, read religious books bought in the church, went to confession, received communion, received unction, did a lot of charity work (I helped myself and attracted others, it was even beyond my strength at times).

(This all points to one thing - a person is working on his character.)

And most importantly, I changed painfully, it was difficult to change myself, I thought a lot, and a lot was revealed to me. I prayed and pray incessantly. Religious commandments are so simple and natural that your whole life changes when you realize this. It turns out that it is very simple, and life goes completely differently when you understand this and change yourself.

(What did I tell you about!)

It was like this: through frequent hunger strikes and hard work, complete humility and inner peace, I was prepared for a miracle. And the following happened.

I had frequent bronchitis, then I had the flu in the winter (February) with a high fever, was hungry and drank urine (and my whole family, except my eldest son, had the flu). This was a month after the unction. I suffered terribly for 2 days. On the 3rd day I decided to breathe.

Then there were painful discharges through the larynx. It was as if someone was wielding a fiery sword.

(The higher and more powerful the energy center, the stronger the manifestations of its pathology or liberation from it.)
(This energy connection burst.)

For a long time there was a gurgling sound in the throat (and now there is, but less). After some time, the balls in my chest began to roll and began to rise to my throat with wild distension (“Lord have mercy” - silently at work), I endured it. This has disappeared, there remains some distension in the larynx, I endure it, I get rid of it. (Apply aspen and a diuretic compress.)

I fast often, especially on the 7th day after this exit. I was hungry for 5 days, remembering the “Gospel” that demons return to their clean and tidy house on the 7th day.

I understood why the priests do not bless for long hunger: not everyone can endure these passions, it is very difficult to explain this to oneself.

To avoid visions, before breathing you must read “Lord, bless” or another prayer is necessary. All my visions stopped.

1. Never remove the cross.

2. Always pray morning and evening.

3. Keep the commandments.

4. Confess, receive communion.

5. Always help people.

6. Say the Jesus Prayer in all cases.

7. Keep calm inside.

8. Visit holy places.

(I advise you to listen to the practical experience of this woman and, if necessary, use it to the benefit of yourself and your loved ones.)

Further: I understood the purpose of a woman and mother - to change the fate of children, husband, loved ones, her city and country. By cleansing and praying, you change the lives of your loved ones beyond recognition. Knock and it will be opened to you. This idea can be developed ad infinitum.

Further: most of the diseases that people suffer from are caused by these entities. So much for your heart and blood pressure. I've been through this, so I know. My heart ached terribly, after leaving everything went away. People, work hard and don’t sin.

I threw all the books on magic into the trash and repented of it.”

Negative character traits: tendency to humiliate the weak, rudeness, anger, arrogance, hatred.

Sexual perversion, lust.

A selfish desire to stand out in an unconventional way. Combined with being overly impressionable, this can lead to other negative emotions and moods: anxiety, fear, hopelessness and envy.

Magic classes.

Symptoms indicating entity possession

A person is sick, melting before our eyes, no medicine helps him.

There is a feeling of severe weakness (this is a withdrawal of vital energy),

headaches are often observed (a channel in the head),

nausea to vomiting (energy is so strongly absorbed through the channel in the head that it forms a reverse flow and is expressed by vomiting),

· a lump in the throat, in the stomach (this is an indication of where, to which energy center the channel is linked),

· sometimes loss of consciousness (complete “blackout” of the body as a result of a large intake of energy),

· anger, aggressiveness (one boy strangled his sisters).

Often doctors cannot find the cause of the disease. With the expulsion of entities, or “demons,” many diseases disappear on their own or begin to be cured. The peculiarity is that negative energy can be applied to anything, even to icons. I had one woman who prayed to an icon bought at the market, and she felt bad because the image of a witch was superimposed on the icon. (In order for your energy to flow somewhere, you need to create attention on your part to this subject. The act of prayer is attention, focusing on an image through which you can absorb energy.)

When expelling demons, she grunted, howled, barked like a dog... Inhabitions of demons can occur if a person is not baptized, is not protected by prayer, does not keep God’s commandments, is angry, envious, foul-mouthed... that is, with his emotions, thoughts, and actions he forms a certain energy field . (All real saints spent a huge amount of time in order to cleanse themselves of emotional rubbish, to align the structures of the field form of life distorted by it. I repeat once again, until a person changes his character, he is sick.)

Blessed water, incense, prayers, and a highly moral lifestyle help.

I’ll expand on this in more detail and accessibility. The very essence of man has the smell of incense. You yourself will feel this when you thoroughly cleanse your body, take urine from it and evaporate it.

And finally, prayer. Prayer is both the internal creation of a highly moral lifestyle and the attraction of Light Forces for protection.

Examples of exorcism

During the very first session, Anna's apartment was flooded with whole hordes of invisible evil spirits, constantly slamming doors; Pictures were torn off the walls, glasses, plates, and jugs shook and shattered into small fragments. While two strong assistants of the exorcist held the girl in a lying position, someone's invisible hand was tearing her blouse and jeans at the seams. When she was left completely naked, bloody stripes began to appear on Anna’s body, as if someone was lashing her with a whip. The demonic entity possessed the girl so deeply that it took the exorcist a whole year to exorcise her.

2. The famous theologian and exorcist Father Candide spoke about how he cast out demons from a modest nun named Francesca. This nun once lifted herself off the floor and began to float in the air. During the flight, Francesca spoke with God and the saints. But the abbess of the monastery had doubts about what power really controlled the nun, and she called Father Candido.

John of Kronstadt took upon himself the feat of the cross as a confessor of Christ. Through his holy prayers, miracles and thousands of healings were performed. Many believers resorted to Father John during his lifetime in the hope of receiving healing from ailments. And almost always his prayer was heard.

Saint Righteous John, Presbyter and Wonderworker of Kronstadt.

First prayer

Oh, great servant of Christ, holy righteous Father John of Kronstadt, wondrous shepherd, quick helper and merciful representative!

Raising praise to the Triune God, you prayerfully cried out: “Your name is Love - do not reject me, the erring one. Your name is Strength - strengthen me, weak and falling. Your name is Light - enlighten my soul, darkened by worldly passions. Your name is Peace - pacify my restless soul. Your name is Mercy - do not cease to have mercy on me.”

Now, grateful to your intercession, the all-Russian flock prays to you, Christ-named and righteous servant of God! With your love, illumine us, sinners and weaklings, grant us the ability to bear worthy fruits of repentance and to partake of the Holy Mysteries of Christ without condemnation. With your power, strengthen our faith in us, support us in prayer, heal ailments and illnesses, deliver us from misfortunes, visible and invisible enemies. With the light of your face, incite the servants and heads of the altar of Christ to perform holy deeds of pastoral work, grant education to infants, instruct youth, support old age, illuminate the shrines of churches and holy abodes. Die, most wonderful miracle worker and visionary, the peoples of our country, by grace and the gift of the Holy Spirit, deliver them from internecine warfare; Gather up the squandered, convert and unite the most precious things of the Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. By your grace, preserve marriage in peace and unanimity, grant prosperity and blessings to monastics in good deeds, comfort the faint-hearted, free those suffering from unclean spirits, have mercy in the needs and circumstances of our lives, and guide us all on the path of salvation.

In Christ living, our Father John, lead us to the unevening light of eternal life, so that with you we may be worthy of eternal bliss, praising and exalting God forever and ever.

Second prayer

Oh, great wonderworker and wonderful servant of God, God-bearing Father John! Look upon us and listen compassionately to our prayer, for the Lord has vouchsafed you great gifts, so that you may be an intercessor and constant prayer-book for us, because you are overcome by sinful passions and consumed by malice, you have neglected the commandments of God, you have not brought heartfelt repentance and tears of sighing, this For the sake of many sorrows and sorrows, you are worthy to appear.

But you, righteous father, having great boldness towards the Lord and compassion for your neighbors, beg the All-Bountiful Lord of the world to add His mercy to us and tolerate our iniquities, not to destroy us for our sin, but to mercifully grant us time for repentance.

Oh, saint of God, help us to immaculately observe the Orthodox faith and piously preserve the commandments of God, so that all iniquity may not possess us, the Truth of God will be put to shame in our untruths, but may we be honored to achieve a Christian death, painless, shameless, peaceful and partakers of the Mysteries of God.

We also pray to you, righteous father, for the hedgehog of our Holy Church to be established until the end of time, and ask for peace and abiding for our fatherland and preserve it from all evils, so that our people, preserved by God, are in unanimity of faith and in all piety and purity, in the beauty of spiritual brotherhood, sobriety and harmony testify: that God is with us! In Nemzhe we move and are, and we will remain forever.

St. Seraphim, the Wonderworker of Sarov (January 15, August 1 commemoration in church)

During his lifetime, the Holy Wonderworker Seraphim of Sarov helped everyone with advice and healing for various ailments. In prayer for the suffering, he ended his earthly journey - the brethren found him resting in his cell, kneeling before the image of the Mother of God.

Venerable Irinarch, Recluse and Wonderworker of Rostov (January 26 commemoration in church)

The Monk Irinarch took part in the salvation of his fatherland, without leaving his seclusion, with his prayer, advice and insight. He also healed the sick and demon-possessed by making them pray and fast or by placing his chains on them. The Monk Irinarch died quietly while standing in prayer on January 13 (Old Style) 1616 at the 96th year of his life.

Saint Tikhon, Bishop of Voronezh, Zadonsk Wonderworker (commemoration in church on August 26)

Those possessed by demons received healing from the relics of this newly revealed saint of God.

Saint Lawrence, Recluse of Pechersk, Bishop of Turov (February 11 commemoration in church)

During his lifetime, Lawrence glorified himself with the gift of healing the demoniac, healing them from the evil spirits that weighed down their souls.

The Monk Macarius is a mentor at a Christian school in Alexandria. He wrote “A Sermon on the Exodus of the Soul from the Body and the Post-Death State of Man.” People pray to him for healing from demonic possession.

Interested persons can easily find prayers to these holy people on their own. Show your initiative, read the relevant literature, there is plenty of it.

Warning against practicing magic and fortune telling

The fact is that a person is inaccessible to the power of spirits and beings until he himself desires it or attracts them through appropriate behavior and thoughts.

Prayer from demons can protect a person who has become a victim of evil spirits. If demons appear to you, evil spirits live in your home, or you suspect that demons have settled inside you, prayers that drive out dark forces are described below.

In the article:

In what cases is a prayer from demons read?

Despite the fact that modern man is surrounded by an equally modern world, in which there is almost no room left for legends and ancient traditions, demons still exist. They can appear to a person, live in his house and even occupy his body.

There are no barriers for demons. Neither thick walls nor reliable door locks will stop them. Only prayer from demons can stop evil spirits and drive them back to hell. Prayer can protect from any evil and evil spirits. It is no coincidence that the latter cannot be in places where prayers are often heard. It is believed that it does not happen in churches and monasteries. However, there are known cases such as fighting Satan in one’s own cell, and many also believe in the existence, but this is a separate topic for discussion.

In order to expel evil spirits from the house, you should stock up on holy water, an icon and church candles. Sprinkle walls, windows, doors and corners with holy water, circle them with candles, and carry the icon with you during this process. Church incense is also suitable, which can be used to fumigate a room. Evil spirits are also afraid of wormwood smoke. While you are doing this, you should read any of the prayers that cast out demons. They are listed below.

If you encounter evil spirits, keep in mind that they can not only scare you, but also seriously harm you. Demons are capable of many things, and a meeting with them can result in either mild fright or death. Knowledgeable people often recommend carrying prayers against demons with you, written down on a piece of paper. You can memorize one of the texts below, but many simply lose the ability to think clearly when encountering real evil spirits. Where can I meet her? Almost anywhere, for example, in a deserted place on the street, usually in the dark.

By the way, if you managed to see devils or other unclean entities, most likely they wished for it - evil spirits love to scare people. Perhaps you have the rudiments of clairvoyance and are able to see more than other people. In any case, do not look too closely at the horned figures, read the prayer from demons and believe that it will save you.

Obsession- a separate and extremely complex case. There are several options for getting rid of this problem - casting out demons from yourself, performing the ritual described below for another person, or getting help from a church, which has its own nuances.

What prayers should be read against demons?

So, how to get rid of demons if they have not yet taken possession of a person? The prayers described below are read during the expulsion of demons from the house or during a chance meeting with evil spirits for protection from it. By the way, apartments often become housing for her, especially those in which murders or suicides have occurred. Evil spirits also love the houses of binge alcoholics and drug addicts, apartments in which they often make trouble and sin in other ways. If you happen to have housing with otherworldly residents, you should expel them. Evil spirits will encourage suicide, drunkenness, and scandals. There will be no peaceful life with such neighbors.

One of the prayers that cast out demons is “Our Father”. It can be read in any situation, it is universal. You can also read for protection and expulsion of evil spirits “May God rise again,” Jesus Prayer, Prayer to the Guardian Angel, Prayer to Saint Cyprian and many other sacred texts that can protect against evil spirits. There are also little-known, but very powerful prayers aimed specifically at protection from evil spirits.

Prayer to the Guardian Angel from demons and other representatives of the population of hell

Special prayer for protection from any evil spirits

These prayers can be read anytime, anywhere when you need protection. During sprinkling or fumigation of the home, they can also be read. Their main purpose is to drive away evil spirits, to prevent them from frightening a believer, and to prevent them from causing the harm that they are capable of.

How to cast a demon out of yourself

It is known that priests usually carry out the exorcism of demons, and for this they must obtain permission from the church diocese. But with the help of special prayers, the expulsion of demons from a person becomes possible at home. In any case, they will not be able to harm, and if it is not possible to drive away the dark entity, you can repeat the ritual, ask for help from another person - it is believed that it is easier to reprimand someone than yourself, you can also turn to church.

By the way, about the church - the demon sitting inside a person may not allow him to cross the threshold of the temple, because such entities experience serious discomfort in holy places. While reading the exorcising prayer, you must be alone - otherwise the entity may move into another person and leave you. The presence of icons, candles or incense is not required, but it is worth wearing a pectoral cross.

So, how to cast out a demon from yourself? This prayer is read during the manifestation of the activity of the evil spirit sitting within you. If you have the willpower to understand that a demon is forcing you to drink alcohol, be aggressive, or engage in other obscene activities, read this text:

You need to read the prayer until you feel better. While reading, you will feel resistance to the dark entity that has taken over your body, but willpower and faith in the help of the Lord can save you from demons, demons and devils. You can also read prayer to Saint Seraphim of Sarov, it also helps well against evil spirits and dark witchcraft. After expelling dark entities, protection should be put in place, but always Orthodox, with the help of prayers.

Prayers to cast out demons from another person

How to drive a demon out of yourself is quite clear - stay alone, wait for it to manifest itself and read a prayer until it becomes easier. But not everyone has the willpower to fight the dark forces on their own. And not every person is capable of exorcism. This requires strong nerves, unshakable faith in the help of the Lord and the desire to selflessly help your neighbor. You will also need an icon of the Savior, which is placed in front of the demoniac.

In general, there are many requirements for an exorcist. He should not have a zero in his date of birth. He must be older than the one he is scolding, and the name of the scolder must be different, not the same as that of the patient. There should not be a woman who is menstruating or a baby in the exorcist's house. He must be baptized, wear a cross on his body, and fast for nine days before the ceremony.

In ordinary life, as long as it goes on steadily, without incident, we don’t even think about the fact that in parallel with us there exists a world of other entities. Its main “residents” are angels and devils). The Holy Scriptures are rich in descriptions of the effects of demons on human souls. The Bible names the signs of a demon-possessed person. The Holy Fathers have attached great importance to this since the Middle Ages. Little is known about angels: they are protectors, and we do not necessarily know about their methods of protection. Demons are serious enemies of the human race, and in order to resist them, it is necessary to study methods of combating this evil spirits. Christ himself emphasized that they can only be driven out through fasting, the cross and prayer.

How did the Evil Spirit appear?

Before the Creator created the universe, there was a world of angels. The most powerful one was called Dennitsa. One day he became proud, rose up against God himself, and for this he was expelled by the angry Lord from the angelic world.

Every Christian knows the signs of a possessed person: speaking in someone else's voice, rejection of church values, the ability to levitate, the smell of sulfur, and more. But there are also signs of the devil’s presence that are difficult to recognize.

To protect yourself from a possessed person, the best advice is not to get involved with him, since the possessed person does not control his own mind. Only church rituals will help drive demons out of him.

How does the devil possess a person?

Anthony the Great claims that humanity itself is to blame for the fact that demons find refuge in the souls of people. These are incorporeal creatures that can take refuge in a person if he accepts their nasty thoughts, temptations and will. This is how people agree with existing evil. The stories of priests about the presence of the devil are quite frightening and scary. From their personal experience, they have more than once been convinced of the reality of the actions of dark forces, therefore they know all the signs of a possessed person, can recognize him and try to save the soul. Even strong prayer does not immediately help get rid of the invading evil spirits.

So why are demons able to enter humans? The Holy Fathers claim that their place is where sin already lives. Sinful thoughts, an unworthy lifestyle, many vices - it is easiest for the devil to penetrate a vicious person.

Many people wonder why God allows this. The answer is simple. In fact, from the Almighty we are endowed with freedom of choice, will. We ourselves must choose whose power is closer to us, the Lord or Satan.

The clergy divide demoniac people into two types.

The first is that the demon subjugates the soul and behaves like a second personality inside a person. The second is the enslavement of the human will by various sinful passions. Even John of Kronstadt, who observed the possessed, noted that demons would take possession of the souls of ordinary people due to their innocence and illiteracy. If a spirit enters the soul of an educated person, then this is a slightly different form of possession, and fighting the devil in these cases is quite difficult.

in the church

There is a statement in the Christian Church that a person’s obsession, which does not manifest itself in everyday life, comes out as soon as the possessed person approaches the church or sees an icon and a cross. There have been cases when, during a service, some people begin to rush about, howl, cry, shout blasphemous speeches, and swear. All these are the main signs of a possessed person. This is explained by the fact that the demon tries to protect the soul from divine influence. The devil is intolerant of everything that somehow reminds us of faith in God.

Educated, intelligent people with a demon in their souls, it would seem, are accustomed to taking into account the opinions of others, they are measured and sedate, but as soon as you start a conversation with them about religion, all their respect comes to naught, their faces immediately change, and rage appears. The demon living inside cannot transgress his essence as soon as it comes to his eternal enemy - God. The way demon-possessed people behave in church only confirms the fact that the demon tries to avoid sources of danger and is afraid of being cast out. In fact, it is not people who are afraid of the church and the Creeds, but the unclean essence that is in them.

Possession can be divided into several signs: in some cases, the demon simply whispers nasty things to a person, encourages him to do obscenities, and go against God. Having penetrated the body, the demon can act to the detriment of other people, causing them harm. Having taken possession of the bodies of the dead, the devil in the guise of ghosts torments people.

Physical Signs of a Demon Possessed Person

Church ministers identified phenomena indicating signs of demon-possessed people. In the treatise “On Demons” by Peter of Tyre, the following points of demon manifestations are indicated:

the voice acquires an eerie demonic timbre;
Any voice changes are possible;
paralysis of the body or some limbs;
an incredible display of strength for the average person.

Other demonologists also highlight:

a huge belly unusual for humans;
rapid decline, weight loss leading to death;
levitation;
split personality;
imitation of animals;
obscene behavior, thoughts;
the smell of sulfur (the smell of hell);
blasphemy against God, church, holy water, cross;
mumbling in a non-existent language.

This is not a complete list of signs. Of course, many points of possession can be explained by some kind of physical illness; for example, in the Middle Ages, demonic behavior was often confused with symptoms of epilepsy. Mental disorders were passed off as public sinful orgies, and imitation of animals was confused with schizophrenia. In fact, it is really difficult to define in everyday life what a possessed person means. Many character traits, behavioral stereotypes, promiscuity, ignorance - all this resembles demonic possession.

Exorcism

The traditional "cure" for possession is to expel the demon from the body. Exorcism rites are performed by clergy who read special prayers, fumigate with incense, and conduct confirmation. Most often, during the ritual, people strongly resist, even faint. A priest should not be alone; he definitely needs assistants - other representatives of the church. Modern doctors and psychologists do not believe in such rituals and claim that it is just Then how to explain that such attacks occur exclusively with church intervention and after the ritual people feel significant relief? There are still no answers to these questions.

You can cast out demons through sincere faith, prayer and fasting. Before the process of expulsion, one must receive communion and confession. The reprimand can be performed by a monk who has not known sin or carnal pleasures. The key is strict fasting. An unprepared soul itself will not be able to cope with the exorcism of demons. Prayer may not work and the result may be unpredictable. The reprimand will be carried out by a monk who has received instructions from senior spiritual brethren; he is endowed with divine protection and special power that will help cope with demons. The prayer being read is called an exorcist prayer. After pronouncing it multiple times, signs of possession by demoniacs disappear, confirming the presence of hellish forces.

When exorcising the devil, a prayer must be heard from the lips of a sincere believer; magic is strictly excluded. People involved in the occult become possessed by demons in 90% of cases.

Prayerful protection from evil spirits

Evil spirits can easily attack us, move into our homes, plot intrigues, and make a person obsessed. In Orthodoxy there are many prayers that help protect against the attacks of evil spirits. The most famous are the prayer to Seraphim of Sarov, Pansofia of Athos “From the attack of demons”, St. Gregory the Wonderworker and, of course, the prayer to Jesus Christ.

Orthodox believers know that the text should always be carried with them, because in times of rampant evil spirits there is always a chance of falling under its influence. At any moment along the way you may encounter a possessed person, what should you do in this case? A prayer word will save.

Many people learn the text of the prayer by heart. But in stressful situations, a person usually gets lost and forgets about everything in the world, so it is better to always have protection with you. You can give yourself confidence in a difficult situation by reading the text of the prayer from the page. It is very important to follow some rules:

Always carry the text of the prayer with you. The style and Old Church Slavonic words should not be altered and forged to suit the modern language, this can reduce the power of words prayed for centuries.
You need to pronounce the text yourself; online auditions are not suitable here; the emotional component and sincerity of the spoken phrases are important.
When reading the prayer, you must be protected by a cross or icon. Shameless demonic spawn can easily penetrate unprotected lost souls and nullify the words of prayer.

Protect your vital energy and your home. For example, it will be more difficult for demons to enter a house consecrated by the priest.

Obsession from a scientific point of view

What does official science say about demonism? Scientists call obsession a mental illness called cacodemonia. It is believed that seizures most often affect dependent people, open, impressionable or, on the contrary, passive. For the most part, they are susceptible to outside influence. Sigmund Freud called cacodemonia a neurosis. According to him, a person himself invents a demon within himself that suppresses his desires. So what is obsession - a curse or a disease? Scientists explain the signs of demonic possession by various diseases, but it is worth noting that often medical methods are not able to solve the problem.

The obsession is explained by epilepsy. When losing consciousness during convulsions, a person is able to sense contacts with the intangible world.
Depression, euphoria, and sudden mood swings are characteristic of affective bipolar disorder.
Tourette's syndrome is also confused with obsession. Due to a disordered nervous system, nervous tics begin.
A disease known in psychology is accompanied by split personality, when several personalities live in one body, showing themselves at different periods.
Schizophrenia has also been compared to obsession. The patient experiences hallucinations, speech problems, and delusional ideas.

If an unclean essence enters a person, this is reflected in his appearance. How to recognize a possessed person is listed in the article above. You can also add to this that those possessed by demons change the color of their eyes, they become cloudy, although their vision remains the same. The color of the skin may also change, it becomes darker - this sign is very dangerous.

Real cases of obsession

There are stories of people being possessed by demons that have been recorded and documented. Here are just a few of them.

Clara Germana Celje. A story from South America. The girl Clara, at the age of 16, told the priest in confession that she felt the presence of a demon in herself. The story took place in 1906. At first they did not believe her words, since it is not easy to identify a possessed person. But her condition began to worsen every day. There is documentary evidence from people that says that the girl behaved inappropriately and spoke in someone else's voices. The exorcism ritual was performed on her for two days, which saved her.

Roland Doe. The story of this boy took place in 1949. His aunt died. After some time, Roland tried to contact her through a seance, but incredible things began to happen around him: screams were heard, crucifixes shook, objects flew, and so on. A priest invited to the house saw objects falling and flying. At the same time, the boy's body was covered with various symbols. It took 30 sessions to drive out the evil spirit. More than 14 sources confirm the fact that the bed with the sick boy was flying around the room.

The Emily Rose Story

I would especially like to note the case of Annaliese Michel. This is the most striking example of a person’s demonic possession. The girl became the prototype of Emily Rose in the famous film.

When the girl turned 17, her life became a nightmare. In the middle of the night she was attacked by paralysis, it was impossible to breathe. Doctors diagnosed him with Grand Mal seizures or epileptic convulsions. After Annalize was placed in a mental clinic, her situation only began to worsen. Drug treatment did not bring any relief. The demon constantly appeared to her and talked about the curse. She began to develop deep depression. A year later, in 1970, the girl was discharged from the hospital. She herself turned to the church and asked for an exorcism, claiming that the devil had entered her body. Church ministers know how to understand that a person is possessed, but they refused to help her and advised her to pray more. The girl began to behave more inappropriately. She bit her family members, ate flies and spiders, copied dogs, mutilated herself, and destroyed icons. This went on for five years. Relatives had difficulty persuading the clergy to perform an exorcism. The ceremony began in 1975 and ended only in 1976; it was held twice a week. A great many evil spirits were expelled from her body, but her health still deteriorated, she could neither drink nor eat. As a result, the girl died in her sleep. According to her, before her death, the Virgin Mary came to her and offered her an option for salvation - to leave her body, which was enslaved by demons.

How to deal with a possessed person

If you suddenly discover signs of demonic possession in your loved ones, it is important not to get lost at this moment, try to create conditions so that the person does not harm himself or others. There are several tips on how to protect yourself from a possessed person:

You should not provoke a possessed person into an attack of aggression, since he is not capable of taking responsibility for his own actions. Agree with him and control the situation.
Protect the possessed person from moving. Sit or lay on the bed. Make sure he can't harm himself.
When demonic possession manifests itself, try to calm the person down and bring him to a normal state. If an attack is provoked by icons or crucifixes, remove them.
