Any person can suffer from evil spirits, regardless of whether he believes in it or not. She can be sent by sorcerers and witches, or she herself will “cling” to someone who commits sins. Quite often, devilish entities settle in houses, where inexplicable things soon begin to happen. Recently, various strange things have started happening in my apartment.
Without thinking for a long time, I turned to the church to invite the priest to consecrate the apartment. After the ritual, he advised me to read a prayer against evil spirits every time strange things begin to happen in the house. What prayers against the devil exist, and how to read them correctly, I will tell you in this article.
Strong prayers against demonism
To protect yourself from demons, you need to wear a cross, have icons at home, attend church, not commit sins, and periodically consecrate your apartment. But, unfortunately, even if all the rules are followed, the devil can penetrate into a person’s abode or attach itself to him. The presence of otherworldly forces will manifest itself in the form of constant troubles, poor health, inexplicable sounds in the house, movement and even the ignition of objects.
To protect yourself from trouble, you need to turn to the Lord for help and start praying. The most powerful sacred text is the Lord's Prayer. Usually, after reading, evil forces retreat. But there are also other powerful prayers that help protect against demons and demons. To increase effectiveness, they must be read in front of an icon and a lit church candle.
Appeal to Jesus Christ
The Lord always stands to protect people and comes to help at the first call. Not only a deeply religious person can turn to him, but also someone who previously doubted the existence of higher powers. If a person, in a moment of despair, sincerely asks the Almighty for protection, then his words will certainly be heard. When faced with demonism, you must first read the “Our Father” and then the following prayer:
There is another powerful prayer to the Lord, which allows you to expel a demon from a person’s body. Unusual behavior, intrusive ideas, suicidal tendencies, delusional speech, unnatural speech or creepy screams are often perceived as a psychological illness, but demon possession is often manifested in this way. Having noticed oddities in a loved one, you can save his soul from dark forces with the help of the following prayer:
What is an exorcism ritual?
The rite of exorcism is something that many have heard about, however, only a few know what it really is. Its essence lies in the fact that a person who has suffered from demonic machinations, through religion, accepts God and everything connected with him. The devilish forces will not be able to withstand this, so they will have no choice but to retreat. They give up even if they managed to penetrate a person’s soul and become part of it.
Please note that the exorcism does not include personal prayer. It is read over the victim by a clergyman. The process of exorcism itself includes several Sacraments of Unction, including:
- anointing the suffering person with oil;
- “covering” the possessed person with a cross (by gesture and then by contacting the cross with the Christian’s forehead).
Prayer to Archangel Michael
It is impossible to predict exactly when dark forces will overcome a person, but you can protect yourself from them if you pray to Archangel Michael every day. He is the leader of God's army, who fought against evil spirits. The Supreme Angel will cover with his wings a person who turns to him for help, and will protect him from the devil’s machinations, illnesses, damage, the evil eye and various troubles. It is recommended to read the prayer every morning.
WHAT IS THE BEST PRAYER TO READ TO EXORCISE THE DEVIL?
The rite of exorcism, the expulsion of the Devil from a person, is a prayer service in which the priest reads a powerful prayer over a person possessed by a demon, expelling the demon. The so-called “group proofreadings”, in which everyone can attend, appeared quite late, and are still a very controversial phenomenon. To perform the rite of exorcism, the priest must have a special blessing from the ruling bishop. All people living on earth are influenced by both light and dark forces. However, each person has his own “immunity” to the influence of demons.
The Orthodox prayer of exorcism over a person is read only when all the signs of demonic possession are on his face: he falls into a riot, speaks in someone else’s voices during attacks, is afraid of holy water and other shrines, begins to scream and swear obscenely in church, cannot accept Holy Communion and participate in other church sacraments. Fortunately, real obsession is a fairly rare phenomenon; cases of so-called hysteria, when people pretend to be possessed, are much more common. Therefore, only an experienced confessor can determine whether exorcism prayers are needed in each specific case.
The Power of Exorcism Prayers to Banish Evil Spirits
The first mention of exorcism exists in the Gospel. As we remember, Christ cast out demons from the sick and ordered them to move into a herd of pigs, after which the pigs threw themselves off a cliff. It should be noted that although the prayers casting out demons are read by a priest, only the Lord Himself can free a person through the prayers of those who believe in Him. The Orthodox Church categorically does not bless doing proofreading at home on your own or going to various magicians and sorcerers for this purpose - this can lead to disastrous consequences. There are home prayers that protect from demons, in which we ask the Lord, the Mother of God, and various saints to deliver us from the snares of the devil, but they have nothing in common with exorcism prayers.
Independent prayers from demons
At home, special prayers that protect against attacks by demons can be read exclusively with the blessing of a priest. In everyday life, the prayers Our Father, May God rise again, the 90th Psalm, Archangel Michael, your Guardian Angel, and the holy martyrs Cyprian and Justinia protect from the devil’s machinations. It is worth remembering that demons are afraid of any mention of the name of God, the Church Sacraments, therefore regular morning and evening prayers, confession and communion for an Orthodox person are sufficient protection from demons. It is also good to drink a sip of holy water every morning.

The text of a strong prayer to drive out the Devil in Russian
We cast out you, the spirit of all uncleanness, every power of Satan, every hostile encroacher of hell, every legion, every assembly and sect of the devil, in the name and virtue of our Lord Jesus Christ, be uprooted and flee from the Church of God, from souls created in the image of God and by the precious blood of the Lamb redeemed. You no longer dare, most cunning serpent, to deceive the human race, persecute the Church of God and tear away God’s chosen ones and scatter them like wheat. The Almighty God commands you, with whom you still want to be equal in your great pride; Who wants to save all people and lead them to the knowledge of the truth. God the Father commands you; God the Son commands you; God the Holy Spirit commands you. The greatness of Christ, the eternal God of the Word incarnate, commands you, Who, for the sake of the salvation of our race, fallen through your envy, humbled Himself and was obedient even to death; Who set His Church on a strong rock and promised that the gates of hell would not prevail against Her, for He Himself would remain with Her until the end of the age. The mystery of the Cross and all the mysteries of the Christian faith commands you. The high Mother of God, the Virgin Mary, commands you, Who struck your most arrogant head from the first moment of Her immaculate conception in Her humility. The faith of the holy apostles Peter and Paul and the other apostles commands you. The blood of the martyrs and all holy men and women commands you pious intercession. Therefore, we adjure you, cursed serpent and legion of the devil, by the living God, the true God, the holy God, the God who so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, so that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life: stop deceiving people. and pour out upon them the poison of eternal damnation; stop harming the Church and putting Her freedom in chains.
Be gone, Satan, inventor and master of all lies, enemy of human salvation. Make room for Christ, in whom you will not find anything you have done; make room for the One, Holy, Ecumenical and Apostolic Church, purchased by Christ at the price of His Blood. Bow down under the almighty Hand of God; tremble and run when we call on the holy and terrible name of Jesus, from which hell trembles, to which the Powers, Powers and Authorities of heaven humbly worship, to which the Cherubim and Seraphim continually sing the glory, crying out: Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God of Hosts.
Let's pray. God of heaven, God of earth, God of angels, God of archangels, God of patriarchs, God of prophets, God of apostles, God of martyrs, God of confessors, God of virgins, God who has the power to grant life after death and rest after labor, for there is no other God but You , and it cannot be otherwise, for You are the Creator of everything visible and invisible, and Your kingdom will have no end: humbly before the greatness of Your glory, we pray that You would deign to free us by Your power from all possession of the spirits of hell, from their snares, from deceptions and wickedness and keep us safe and sound. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Prayer service to Seraphim of Sarov
St. Seraphim had the gift of healing soul and body. He led a pious lifestyle, and from the age of 17 lived in a monastery. Sarovsky always helped people, regardless of their religion. Both during life and after death, people turned to the monk not only with everyday problems, but also with requests for protection from dark forces. The most effective prayer for protection from evil spirits, addressed to Seraphim of Sarov, sounds like this:
From the devil in the house
Not only the person himself, but also his home needs protection from dark forces. Devilish entities can settle in the house and feed on the energy of the people living in it. As a result, they will begin to get sick, experience pathological fatigue, and become angry and aggressive towards others. There will often be scandals and even fights between household members, and they may also become addicted to alcohol or drugs.
In addition, in a house where evil spirits have settled, inexplicable and frightening incidents always occur. These can be sounds and voices, the movement of objects, the loss of things and their fire. Also, residents of such apartments often see shadows or figures resembling a person. In such cases, immediate cleaning of the home and installation of protection is necessary. To do this, you need to read a prayer service calling on all saints, the words of which were written by Pansophius of Athos.
How to get rid of damage and conspiracy
Few believe in the existence of corruption, but almost every one of us has encountered it at least once, even if we did not realize it. The fact is that damage is nothing more than negative energy aimed at us, taking strength from anger, envy and aggression. Sometimes it happens that the person who cast a spell on us doesn’t even know about it. It’s just that his irritation and all his emotions were at such a limit that they poured out on the subject of offense without the help of their owner.
In any case, no matter what the damage is: strong or not particularly, accidental or purposeful - this is a problem that needs to be gotten rid of. And, as you and I already know, the best decision is to visit the temple and read prayers. If you decide to go to church, you can get detailed advice from the elders. But at home you should read a prayer to Saint Cyprian.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=Cooh3sCqI38
Why does Cyprian help against damage?
The fact is that the life of Cyprian is very complex and interesting. He lived in the Roman Empire and was a very powerful magician. People turned to the sorcerer for help in causing damage, if they wanted to take revenge or offend a person. Then Cyprian turned to the unclean and calmly carried out his work, without being tormented by his conscience. But one girl changed everything, Justinia.
Justinia became a Christian at a conscious age. One day she heard a deacon preaching about Christ, and her heart was immediately inflamed with a huge and unquenchable love for the Lord. She was baptized and began to pray. Her faith was so strong, and her words were so convincing and truthful, that even her father, who was a priest, renounced his honorary position and converted to Orthodoxy.
And then one day the son of a very rich man fell in love with Justinia. He loved an easy and beautiful life and was used to having everything he wanted one way or another. Seeing the beautiful girl, Aglaid, of course, decided that she would give herself to him for money. But Justinia, of course, refused. Then the spoiled young man decided to approach her again and was again refused.
Depressed and perplexed, he went to Cyprian, hoping that he would make him a love potion for Justinia. Cyprian, an active practitioner of love spells, got down to business, but he did not know who he was fighting with. Before this, his clients were exclusively pagans, and the sorcerer had never encountered such an indestructible force as faith in the Lord.
Cyprian began to cast a spell, and Justinia was overcome by strange obsessions and sensations. The girl was not at a loss and did what every Christian would do. She prayed for hours, knelt and asked the Lord to take away the evil spell from her, and the Heavenly Father heard his daughter. Cyprian, in turn, began to practice more powerful witchcraft and sent many strong and evil spirits to Justinia. But the girl’s faith was stronger, her prayers did not subside, and the Lord did not abandon his child.
Cyprian was amazed; he had never faced a stronger opponent. The magician was angry because he had suffered the first failure in his life. Then his anger and hatred spilled over the entire city. Residents began to suffer from fever, from which there was no escape. Cyprian started a rumor that all the troubles and misfortunes were due to the proud Justinia, and if she married Aglaid, then all the troubles would evaporate. Then the people went to the Christian woman’s house and began to beg her to obey and become Aglaid’s wife. But Justinia asked everyone to leave and promised that the power of her prayer would overcome the attack. And so it happened.
Cyprian, completely defeated, began to ask the evil spirits who were helping him what was the reason for such defeat. And then the devil answered that Orthodoxy and true faith are something with which it is useless to fight. Cyprian repented, was baptized and completely surrendered to the faith.

The most powerful prayer from evil people to Cyprian
After reading the truly educational and amazing life of Cyprian, you understand why this particular saint is the most powerful helper in protection from evil people and filth.
We recommend studying Psalm 50
You should not check the annoying advice of ignorant people and resort to magic, because protective prayer is the strongest and only weapon of an Orthodox person, with the help of which he can protect himself from unnecessary thoughts, protect himself, and protect himself and his loved ones. Remember that only icons can be your amulets.
“Ask, and it may be done for you,” words known to everyone
It is important to ask fervently, with a pure heart and thoughts and to believe firmly, then the Lord will send us his blessing and cleanse our lives of negative emotions and influences forever. It’s just important to remember that like attracts like.
Do not return evil for evil, but forgive your enemies. This is the only true path to happiness and liberation from aggression.

Rules for using prayers?
It is unlikely that you will be able to protect yourself from evil spirits by just reading a prayer - this must be done regularly. It is best to memorize the text, but as a last resort, you can read it from a piece of paper, which you also need to always have with you. It is very important to pronounce the sacred words correctly, and exactly in the form in which they are indicated in the prayer.
To strengthen the appeal to the saints, you need to read the text in front of the icon with a lit candle, and do not forget to be baptized and, at the end of the ritual, wash yourself with holy water. In addition, you must have a cross on your body. If the prayer service is aimed at cleaning the house, then it is recommended to fumigate the premises with incense and sprinkle them with blessed water.
Evil spirits: who they are and why protect themselves from them with prayers
The existence of evil spirits has not been proven by science, but the collective image of evil is loved by writers, animators and filmmakers.
Whether or not to believe in the existence of evil spirits is a personal matter for each person, but numerous stories of eyewitnesses who encountered representatives of the other world should encourage you to take care of your weapon in the event of an attack.
Evil spirits - fiction or reality?
It is customary for the Slavs to call all representatives of the other world “evil spirits,” from the devil to the mythological mermaids, Mavkas, and brownies.
There are several options for the origin of evil spirits:
- fallen angels that were expelled from Paradise (demons);
- created by Satan to harm people (devils, goblins, brownies, water creatures, etc.);
- suicides and unbaptized babies (ghosts);
- people who voluntarily began to serve the forces of darkness (sorcerers, vampires, witches, priests);
- people who were kidnapped by dark forces (it is believed that this is how the mermaid ranks are replenished), etc.
An evil spirit does not have to be evil. For example, a brownie, if you live with him in peace and harmony, protects your home from all sorts of misfortunes. The ghosts of ancestral castles could become guardians for the entire family. And forest spirits often help lost travelers get out of the forest.
Naturally, people are afraid of what they cannot control, so they try to protect themselves with the help of prayers.
Even if you have never encountered anything similar to evil spirits, at least learn the “Our Father” and buy a pectoral cross.
Most often, it is “non-believing Thomases” who become victims of otherworldly forces, because they do not expect an attack and are absolutely helpless in front of it.
In what cases may you need prayer from evil spirits?
Since evil spirits are in the service of the devil, most of all they are afraid of prayer and any church paraphernalia. Therefore, fight her with the weapons she fears.
Most often, a prayer against evil spirits has to be read in the following cases:
- Causeless fear that attacks at night.
Inna woke up unexpectedly late at night with a feeling of heaviness on her chest, difficulty breathing and a pounding heart. It seemed as if something huge and strong was sitting on her chest. And this something does not allow you not only to move, but even to scream.
Despite the panic, Inna began to read the “Our Father” to herself, and after the very first sentence of the prayer, everything disappeared.
Already in the morning, while rummaging on the Internet, the girl learned that she had become the object of an “attack by an old witch.”
- Strange things happening in the house.
Recently, strange things began to happen in the Zadorozhnys’ apartment at night: doors creaked and glass rang, the patter of little feet could be heard, the cat hissed and hid under the sofa, the baby constantly cried and slept poorly.
The neighbor advised me to contact the old woman from the next door, saying that she knows a lot, she takes out the fear in children, and tells fortunes.
The old woman did not refuse to come and look at the house and, as soon as she crossed the threshold, said: “Everything is clear.” Then she lit the candle she had brought and, moving with it from room to room, read a prayer continuously.
On the first night, everyone finally slept peacefully.
- Attacks of evil spirits in human form.
Natasha was returning home late, so she had to travel in a half-empty carriage with a harmless-looking old woman. But the old woman began to behave strangely: she looked straight at her and whispered something.
Natalya was frightened and, as if in a dream, began to pronounce half-forgotten words that her grandmother had once taught: “Lord Jesus Christ, save and preserve...”
The old woman stopped her manipulations and got off at the next station.
There may be other cases of contact of evil spirits with humans. In any case, prayer will not harm you, even if you made a mistake and otherworldly forces are not trying to harm you.
