You have probably heard the expression more than once that in this or that person "demons have possessed". But how real is it? Do dark forces really exist and can live inside us? The eternal opposition of light and dark actually exists in reality.
Demons
Demons are able to influence a person, lead him, can push him to commit terrible acts. They say that when demons are inside, a person does not belong to himself. His mind becomes clouded, his consciousness changes, over time, even his body ceases to obey. He completely falls into someone else's power.
However, there are not so many people in whose souls demons rage. A weak-willed person will let anything into his heart, a person with will will fight. It is important how strong faith in the Lord God is. After all, demons are afraid of her, shun.
How to understand that a person is influenced by demons? He suddenly does what he did not expect of himself, commits bad deeds and speaks bad words, feels that he is losing internal control. It is very important to turn to the church at such moments. Pray diligently, talk to the priest, attend services.
In some cases, demons completely take over the soul of a person. They say about such people - "possessed". There are priests who make special prayers after which demons leave a person. He can start screaming, wriggling, acting like a sick person. And then, when nothing bad remains inside, the person calms down, and then we can say that his soul has been purified.

Guardian angel
The guardian angels are opposed to demons. The guardian angel is called God's messenger. It is a disembodied entity that cannot be seen. It is believed that an angel comes to a person after baptism and follows him throughout his earthly existence. When it ends, the angel escorts the person into a new, eternal life.
When can you turn to a guardian angel? Is always! He is an advocate, ally and helper. Of course, he will never say directly what to do in a given situation. But he will definitely give a sign, point out and tell you where to turn in order to get on the right path.
If a person commits unseemly acts, the angel cries, but continues to love him. It is believed that he can leave a person, but only if he finally turns away from God.
You can and should pray to the guardian angel, remember him during daily prayer to all the saints. It is imperative to thank, because his contribution to spiritual life is very important, though not always noticeable. There is a special day - November 21 - Angel Day.
Where to put the icons?
Previously, there was a red corner in every dwelling, every hut. It was a special place: people prayed here, lit candles, came with their needs and gratitude. In modern apartments, this is more often forgotten, but in vain.
The icons can be placed in any room except the restroom and bathroom. It is desirable that the icons do not coexist with any technique - a computer, TV. A person praying should not be distracted by extraneous things. It is important that the faces of the saints stand apart from any photographs, paintings, figurines and other secular attributes. In a word, it should be a separate place. You can place them on a shelf or on a table.
As for the icons, which should be in the red corner, they are placed at their own discretion. Only the faces of Jesus Christ and the Mother of God are considered obligatory, which should stand above the rest. The Savior is on the right, the Mother of God is on the left. Below are the icons revered in the family of saints.
