Signs of a demoniac. How to behave and how to protect yourself from the possessed?

In ordinary life, as long as it is stable, without incident, we do not even think that there is a world of other entities in parallel with us. Its main "inhabitants" are angels and demons (demons, devils). The Holy Scripture is rich in descriptions of the effects on human demonic souls. In the Bible, the signs of a demoniac are called. The Holy Fathers still attach importance to this from the Middle Ages. Little is known about the angels: they are defenders, and we do not need to know about their defense methods. Demons are serious enemies of the human race, and in order to resist them, one must study methods of fighting this evil spirits. Christ Himself stressed that it is possible to expel them only with the help of fasting, cross and prayer.

How did the Evil Spirit appear?

Before the creation of the universe, the world of angels existed. The most powerful was called Dyenitsa. Once he was proud, rose against God himself and for that he was expelled by an angry Lord from the angelic world.

The old man formed his own kingdom of Darkness, which was quite the opposite of the bright God. Tsarili in the heart of the Day, cunning, evil intentions, he began to parasitize in the world of people created by God. Penetrating into the souls, he conquers territory from God, tries to supersede God's grace. Very often he succeeded ...

Every Christian knows the signs of a demoniac: it's aggression, talking in someone else's voice, rejection of church values, ability to levitate, sulfuric smell and more. But there are also such signs of the devil's invasion, which are difficult to recognize.

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

How the devil gets into a man

Antony the Great argues that humanity itself is to blame for the fact that demons find shelter in the souls of people. These are disembodied beings who can take refuge in a person if he accepts their nasty thoughts, temptations and will. So people agree with the existing evil. The stories of the priests about the devil's arrival are quite frightening and scary. On their personal experience, they have more than once been convinced of the reality of the actions of the dark power, so they know all the signs of a demoniac, can recognize it and try to save the soul. Even a strong prayer does not immediately help to get rid of the impure force.

So why do demons have the opportunity to enter a person? The Holy Fathers claim that they are where sin already lives. Sinful thoughts, unworthy way of life, a lot of vices - the devil is the easiest to get into a vicious man.

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

Priests share demoniacs in two ways.

The first is that the demon subjugates the soul and behaves like the second person within a person. The second is the enslavement of the will of man by various sinful passions. Even John of Kronstadt, who watched the possessed, noted that the souls of ordinary people are possessed by demons by their simplicity and illiteracy. If the spirit is infused into the soul of an educated man, then this is a somewhat different form of possession, and it is rather difficult to struggle with the devil in these cases.

Crazy people in the church

There is a statement in the Christian church that the obsession of a person, not manifested in everyday life, comes out, it is only necessary to approach the demoniac to the church or to see the icon and the cross. There have been occasions when during worship some people begin to rush about, howl, cry, shout out blasphemous speeches, swear. All these are the main signs of a demoniac. This is explained by the fact that the demon tries to protect the soul from the divine influence. The devil is intolerant of anything that somehow reminds one of believing in God.

Educated, intelligent people with a demon in the soul, it would seem, are accustomed to take into account the opinions of others, they are measured and sedate, but it is only necessary to talk with them about religion, all their respects come to naught, the face changes immediately, rage manifests. The demon living within can not transcend his essence, as soon as it comes to his eternal enemy - God. The way demoniacs behave in the church only confirms the fact that the demon tries to avoid sources of danger and is afraid of being expelled. In fact, it's not people who are afraid of the church and the symbols of faith, but the impure essence that is in them.

The obsession can be divided into several features: in some cases, the demon simply whispers to the person muck, induces to create obscenity, to go against God. Having penetrated into the body, the demon can act to the detriment of other people, causing them evil. Having settled into the body of the dead, the devil, in the guise of ghosts, plagues people.

Physical signs of a demon possessed

The ministers of the church defined phenomena that indicated the signs of demoniacs. In the treatise "On the demons" by Peter Tyrsky, the following points of manifestations of the demon are indicated:

• The voice acquires a terrible demonic timbre;
• Any changes in voice are possible;
• Paralysis of the body or some limbs;
• An incredible display of strength for the average person.

Other demonologists also highlight:

• An unusual huge stomach for a man;
• Rapid fading, weight loss, leading to death;
• levitation;
• split personality;
• Imitation of animals;
• Obscene behavior, thoughts;
• Automatic writing;
• Smell of sulfur (the smell of hell);
• Blaspheme against God, church, holy water, cross;
• Mumbling in a non-existent language.

This is not a complete list of signs. Of course, many obsession points can be explained by some physical illnesses, for example, in the Middle Ages, devilry was often confused with the symptoms of epilepsy. Disorders of the psyche betrayed for public sinful orgies, imitation of animals confused with schizophrenia. In fact, it is really difficult to determine in everyday life what a demoniac person means. Many personality traits, stereotypes of behavior, promiscuity, ignorance - all this resembles demoniacism.

Exorcism

The traditional "cure" of obsession is the expulsion of the demon from the body. Rituals of exorcism are performed by clergymen who read special prayers, fumigate incense, chrismate. Most often during the ritual, people strongly resist, even faint. The priest should not be alone, he must have helpers - other representatives of the church. Modern doctors and psychologists do not believe in such rituals and claim that they are only mentally ill people. Then how to explain that such attacks occur solely with church intervention and after the ritual, do people feel considerable relief? There are no answers to these questions until now.

You can cast out demons with sincere faith, prayer and fasting. Before the process of exile, one must receive communion and confession. A monk-prayer book can do the proof, which does not know sin and carnal pleasures. The key point is a strict fast. The very unprepared soul can not cope with the expulsion of demons. Prayer may not work, and the result may be unpredictable. The testimony will be conducted by a monk, who received instruction from the elder spiritual brotherhood, he is endowed with divine protection and a special power that will help cope with demons. The prayer read is called exorcist. After her repeated utterance, the signs of the possession of demoniacs disappear, confirming the presence of hellish forces.

At the expulsion of the devil, prayer should sound from the lips of a sincerely believing person, magic is strictly excluded. People engaged in the occult, in 90% of cases become possessed by demons.

Prayer protection against evil spirits

Unclean force can easily attack us, settle into houses, build intrigues, make a person obsessive. In Orthodoxy, there are many prayers that help to guard against attacks of evil spirits. The most famous are the prayer to Seraphim of Sarov, the prayer of the elder Pansophia of Athos "From the attack of demons", St. Gregory the Wonderworker and, of course, a prayer to Jesus Christ.

Orthodox believers know that the text of protective prayer should always be worn, because at the hour of evil spirits there is always a chance to fall under its influence. Meet at any time on the road can and the demoniac, what to do in this case? He will save the prayer word.

Many people memorize the text of the prayer by heart. But in stressful situations a person is usually lost and forgets everything in the world, so it's best to always have protection with yourself. You can give yourself confidence in a difficult situation by reading the text of the prayer from the sheet. It is very important to follow certain rules:

• Always carry the text of the prayer with you. Style and the Old Slavic words to alter and forge under the modern language is not worth it, it can reduce the strength of the words, soaked in centuries.
• The text must be spoken on its own, online listening is not suitable here, the emotional component and sincerity of the spoken phrases are important.
• When you read the prayer, you must be protected by a cross, a symbol. Shameless demonic offspring can easily penetrate into unprotected lost souls and reduce the words of prayer to nothing.

Protect your life energy and your home. For example, it is more difficult for demons to enter the house, consecrated by the priest.

Obsession from a scientific point of view

What does official science say about demons? Scientists call an obsession with a mental illness, whose name is cacodemonomy. It is believed that seizures are most often affected by dependent people, open, impressionable or, conversely, passive. In their majority, they are amenable to influence from the outside. Sigmund Freud called cacodemonomy a neurosis. According to him, a man himself devises a demon in himself, which suppresses his desires. So what is obsession - a curse or a disease? Scientists explain the signs of demon possession by various diseases, but it should be noted that often medical methods are not capable of removing the problem.

• Obsession is explained by epilepsy. With a loss of consciousness during convulsions a person is able to feel contact with the intangible world.
• Depression, euphoria, sharp mood swings are characteristic of affective bipolar disorder.
• Confused with obsession and Tourette's syndrome. Because of the frustrated nervous system, nervous tics begin.
• It is known in psychology of a disease, accompanied by the splitting of the personality, when in one body there are several persons showing themselves in different periods.
• Schizophrenia is also compared to obsession. The patient has hallucinations, problems with speech begin, delusions appear.

If an unclean essence is infused into a person, this is reflected in his appearance. How to recognize a demoniac is listed in the article above. Also, this can be supplemented by the fact that the demon possessed changes the color of the eyes, they become cloudy, although the vision remains the same. Also, the skin color may change, it becomes darker - this sign is very dangerous.

Real cases of obsession

There are stories of obsession with demons, which are documented and documented. Here are just a few of them.

Clara German Celje. History from South America. Clara's girlfriend, at the age of 16, informed the priest at the confession that she felt the demon's presence in her. The story took place in 1906. She did not believe at first, as it is not easy to define a demoniac. But her condition began to deteriorate with every passing day. There are documentary testimonies of people who say that the girl behaved inadequately and spoke in strange voices. The ritual of exorcism was conducted over it for two days, which saved her.

Roland Doe. The story of this boy occurred in 1949. His aunt died. After some time, Roland tried to communicate with her through a spiritualistic session, but incredible things began to happen around him: screams were heard, crucifixes were shaking, objects were flying and so on. The priest invited to the house saw how objects fall and fly. At the same time, the boy's body covered various symbols. To expel the evil spirit, it took 30 sessions. More than 14 sources confirm the fact that the bed with the sick boy flew around the room.

The Story of Emily Rose

I especially want to mention the case with Annalisa Michel. This is the most striking example of man's demonic nature. The girl became the prototype of Emily Rose in the famous film.

When the girl turned 17 years old, her life became a nightmare. In the middle of the night she was paralyzed, unable to breathe. Doctors diagnosed: seizures of Grand Mal or epileptic seizures. After Annalise was placed in a psychiatric clinic, her situation only worsened. Medication did not bring any relief. She was constantly a demon and spoke about the curse. She began to develop the deepest depression. A year later, in 1970, the girl was discharged from the hospital. She herself went to church and asked for a ritual of exorcism, claiming that the devil had settled into her body. Church ministers know how to understand that a man is demoniac, but refused to help her and advised her to pray more. The girl began to behave more inadequately. She bitten members of her family, ate flies and spiders, copied dogs, injured herself, destroyed icons. It lasted five years. Relatives hardly persuaded the clergy to attend the rite of exorcism. The rite began in 1975 and ended only in 1976, it was held twice a week. A great many evil forces were expelled from her body, but her health worsened anyway, she could neither drink nor eat. As a result, the girl died in a dream. According to her, before her death the Virgin Mary came to her and offered her the option of salvation - to leave her body, which was enslaved by demons.
