How to protect yourself from fallen angels (demons)

Fallen angels (also known as popular culture as demons) attack you during the spiritual war of good against evil that is constantly going on in the world. They are not just fictional characters in novels, horror films and video games, say believers. Fallen angels are real spiritual beings who have dangerous reasons to harm humans when interacting with us, although they may seem benevolent to influence people, say Jews and Christians.

Fallen angels can harm you in various ways, from lying to you and tempting you to sin, causing mental distress such as depression and anxiety or physical illness or injury in your life, according to the Torah and the Bible. Fortunately, these religious scriptures also suggest several ways in which you can protect yourself from the evil fall that fallen angels can bring to your life. Here's how to protect yourself from fallen angels:

Realize that you are in a spiritual battle
The Bible says it is important to remember that people are part of a spiritual battle every day in this fallen world, where fallen angels who are not usually visible still affect human life: “Because our struggle is not against flesh and blood , but against the sovereigns, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms "(Ephesians 6:12).

Be careful when contacting angels alone
The Torah and the Bible advise people to be careful when contacting angels alone rather than waiting for God to bring angels into their lives according to his will. If you contact the angels yourself, you cannot choose which angels will respond, say Jews and Christians. A fallen angel can use your decision to reach angels rather than directly to God as an opportunity to manipulate you while you are disguised as a holy angel.

2 Corinthians 11:14 of the Bible says that Satan, who guides the fallen angels, "masks himself as an angel of light" and the angels who serve him "mask themselves as servants of justice."

Beware of fake messages
The Torah and the Bible warn that fallen angels can speak as false prophets, and says in Jeremiah 23:16 that false prophets "speak visions from their own minds, not from the mouth of the Lord." Satan, who follows the fallen angels, is "a liar and the father of lies," according to John 8:44 of the Bible.

Test the messages that angels give you
Do not accept as true any message that you may receive from angels without examining and testing those messages. 1 John 4: 1 advises: "Dear friends, do not believe all spirits, but test the spirits to see if they come from God because many false prophets have come out into the world."

The acidic test of whether an angel is truly communicating a message from God is what the angel has to say about Jesus Christ, the Bible says in 1 John 4: 2: “Here's how you can recognize the Spirit of God: every spirit that recognizes that Jesus Christ came in the flesh comes from God. "

Find wisdom through a close relationship with God
The Torah and the Bible say that it is important that people are closely related to God since the wisdom that comes from a close relationship with God will allow people to discern whether the angels they meet are faithful angels or fallen angels. Proverbs 9:10 states: "The fear [reverence] of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and the knowledge of the Saint is understanding."

Choose to follow where God leads
Finally, it is important to intentionally base your daily decisions on values ​​that reflect what God says most. Choose to do what is right, as God guides you, whenever you can. Don't compromise what you believe in when making choices during each day.

This is crucial because fallen angels constantly try to sin you to try to distance you from God.

Psychiatrist M. Scott Peck explores the "real" but "rare" phenomenon of possession of demons of human beings in his book Glimpses of the Devil and concludes that: "Possession is not an accident. To become possessed, the victim must, at least in some way, cooperate or sell to the devil. "

In his book on evil called People of the Lie, Peck states that the way to be free from the slavery of evil is to submit to God and his goodness: “There are two states of being: submission to God and goodness or the refusal to submit to anything beyond one's will - whose refusal automatically enslaves the forces of evil. In the end we must belong to God or the devil. "
