There is a good prayer in John Chrysostom: «Lord, deliver me from a man of certain demons and passions, and from all other incomparable things.» “Some people” are put in the very first place: “rescue me man some”, then only from demons, from passions and other incomparable things. That’s amazingly accurate. The angels do not harm us directly because of the protection of the angels and the restraining right hand of God. They’re not directly free to do whatever they want, otherwise they’d rub us in powder in seconds. They corrupt people’s morals and act through their people, but evil people are the tools of their evil will. They don’t see it, they think they do what they want.
Moms, sending children to school, please baptize them, «in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.» And if your children are promiscuous because of this sign of the cross as possessed, then baptize them from the window at least in the back and bless them. Pray for them: “Rescue, God, my son or daughter from some people, from demons, passions and other incomparable things,” because if someone gives someone a drug, it is not demons that materialize, it is the human hand that fulfills the demonic will and gives another person a drug or a pornographic magazine or fake money or money for evil deeds. It’s done by human hands.
The tongues of man utter terrible things against the Lord God and the truth of God, slander, bring gossip. A person should be really afraid, because he is extremely dangerous — a certain person. I mean, some people, these peddlers. Described in the literature as the world’s evil syphilitics, prostitutes infect as many people as possible or a sick person hides his disease is contagious and infects everyone. This is a certain way of acting of a vicious man, from which one must get rid of the carriers of gossip, from a person who is not afraid to shed blood. Such people should be feared.
King David once angered God — wrong time census appointed. It became the object of God’s wrath. He was given the choice of who to fall into the hands of people who do not love you and will take revenge on you or fall into the hands of God and God will punish you. David chose the hands of God. It is better not to fall into human hands, because there is no pity and compassion in them, but the Lord will punish and the Lord will pity. So pay attention to these words and may the Lord keep you from some people. May the Lord keep you from demons, from passions and from other incomparable things.
