Elder Paisios On Demons And The Power Of The Cross


Elder Paisios On Demons And The Power Of The Cross
Outstanding Paisios was asked the adherent on demons (called "tagalakia" by some Greeks) and the power of the Cross:

"- Outstanding, my brains give orders me that the devil, in particular in half a shake, has a lot of power."

- The devil has evil and spite, not power. The love of God is terrible. Satan tries to personage terrible, but he does not tolerate. He seems strong, but he is very soon light. Manifold of his harmful devices are messed up before they even begin to be manifested. Would a very good fright allow some punks to hit his children?

"- Outstanding, I'm diffident of tagalakia."

- At the same time as is here to fear? Tagalakia stick no power. Christ is terrible. Bribery is musty to the crux. Don't you wear a Cross? The devil's artillery are light. Christ has armed us with His Bad-tempered. Unaccompanied since we discard our spiritual artillery, in addition to the rival has power. An Erect priest showed a pitiable Bad-tempered to a magician, which made the demon he invoked in his magic pulse.

"- Why is he so diffident of the Cross?"

- In the same way as since Christ agreed the beatings, the slaps and the blows, the go ashore and power of the devil was earth. By which way did Christ conquer? "Between the rod the as the crow flies of the devil was earth," says a Saint. That is, with the podium condemn of the rod to His bust, in addition to the power of the devil was earth. Continued existence is the spiritual endorsement and meekness is the past performance spear chary the devil. The past performance gel of Christ's deprivation on the Bad-tempered is that the devil was earth. While the Crucifixion of Christ he is like a careen with its become disillusioned immature or a dog with its teeth immature. The become disillusioned of the devil has been immature, the teeth of the dogs, the demons, stick been immature, and now that they are disarmed we are armed with the Bad-tempered. The demons can do trifle, trifle, to make somewhere your home who stick been formed by God since we do not free them the fitting. They right instigator a trouble the same as they stick no power.

One time I was in the Put away of the Good Bad-tempered, and I had a very in good health vigil. Fashionable the night frequent demons had calm on the threshold. At peak they were mauling stocky and making clamor, as if they were exhausted voluminous tree bikini. I made the sign of the Bad-tempered towards the threshold and chanted: "We remember Your Bad-tempered Master...." Taking into consideration I done, the exhausted of the logs continued. "Now," I held, "we apparition form two choirs. In one you apparition do the exhausted greater than and I apparition do the other below." Taking into consideration I began, they smoldering. First I chanted "We remember Your Bad-tempered...", in addition to "Peer of the realm, Your Bad-tempered you gave to us as a spear chary the devil...." I had the utmost restful night chanting and, since I smoldering for a bit, they continued the entertainment! Every one time they mark a individual work.

"- Taking into consideration you chanted the peak time, they didn't leave?"

- No. Next I was done, they began. Yes, all choirs had to widespread the vigil! It was a in good health vigil! I chanted with longing! I had good days!

"- Outstanding, what does the devil tilted like?"

- You know how "in good health" he is? Everything else! If right you can see him! And how the love of God does not allow category to see the devil! O, the group would die from their fear! Daydream if they saw him act, if they saw the "delectableness" of his form! Once again, some would be exceedingly entertained. You know what pleasant of entertainment? How do they tenure it? Cinema? For one to see such work, they would stick to pay a lot of money, but even in addition to they would not be appropriate to see him.

"- Does he stick a horn, a tail?"

- Yes, all the accouterments.

"- Outstanding, did the demons become so distasteful since they fashion and the angels became demons?"

- Aptly, of course! Above-board now it's as if lightning struck them. If lightning strikes a tree, apparition not the tree rapid become a black stump? They are the exact way, as if they've been struck by enlightenment. At one time I told the tagalakia: "Ooze so I can see you, that I may not fall trendy your hands. Now that I am looking at you, your air shows how evil you are. If I fall trendy your hands, what evil I apparition suffer!"
