Rules for appealing to higher powers. Before sleep and after waking up
“Angels deliver messages to us from the Divine Mind of our Creator. They are like a gift to us from God, so that we always remember our Divine nature, remaining kind and loving, discover and develop our talents - for the good of this world - and protect ourselves from any harm.”
Doreen Virtue
How often do you seek help from spiritual guides, angels?
Do you always get the support you want?
If you do not see the answers or do not understand what your invisible helpers want to tell you, then you are doing something wrong.
The main condition under which angels, archangels, spiritual mentors and masters can help you is your request, appeal.
By the law of free will and choice, being on the other side of the veil, they cannot interfere with circumstances without your permission.
The main function of our mentors, guardian angels is help and guide us on the path of life.
Therefore, when you contact them, they strive to fulfill your requests with great willingness and honor.
And how these requests are executed depends on the wording that you used in referring to them.
Of course, there are no strictly approved rules for communicating with your mentors.
But if you want to receive the help and support of higher powers, there is something you should know when you get in touch with them.
1. Ask in a language you understand
In books about angels, prayer books describe how to correctly address archangels, angels, how to read decrees and prayers.
I am not a supporter of such communication. The main thing is that the request should be from the heart and understandable to you by ourselves.
Many prayers are written in a specific language that few understand.
Therefore, if you use ready-made decrees, replace them with those words that are closer to you.
2. Clearly formulate a request to the angels
“A man rides the subway and thinks: “The wife is a fool, friends are traitors, life has failed.” An angel stands behind him, writes in a notebook and thinks: “What strange desires, and most importantly, the same every day! But there's nothing you can do, you have to do it!
Joke
Your mentors understand everything literally, so clearly and be specific about your requests if you want to be understood correctly.
Think carefully before making a request. It should be clear not only to you, but also to others.
Our spiritual teachers and mentors in this respect are no different from real interlocutors.
Put yourself in the place of the person you are addressing, read the request and evaluate how accurately it conveys the meaning of what was said.
Would you understand what you said?
It is a mistake to believe that God, the universe already knows what you want, because you constantly think about it.
We usually think about what we don't want or about what worries us.
Analyze what thoughts appear most often in your head. What you think is what you get. Like that joke about the angel.
Angels answer our requests, only we do not always understand or see the answer.
3. Ask for a way to solve a problem
Although the angels are assigned to help us, we chose to go through life lessons ourselves.
In other words, they will not clean up the house or make a living for you.
They can give strength, confidence or show a way out of a problem situation, but taking action is your prerogative.
What is the point of turning to them if you still have to solve problems yourself?
With the help of higher powers, you will find a way out of unpleasant circumstances much faster, and in some cases “miraculously” bypass them altogether.
At the same time, realize the difference that you do not abdicate responsibility, but pass on the solution to the problem to the wiser part of you.
Angels are the same us, if we believe in the concept that everything is one, that everything is particles of God.
Watch the video and learn about an unconventional way to solve problems.
4. Feel free to claim
Appeal to spiritual mentors, archangels is not a plea for help. You have the right to ask and even demand.
People are used to thinking that it is necessary to turn to higher powers with trepidation and even fear.
And then sit and wait for the blessing to descend. If they didn’t help, then they were punished for something, then it’s right, get out yourself.
But spiritual mentors only waiting for us to ask. They know what we do not know, being in the three-dimensional world, in human bodies.
Many are afraid to ask, they think that it needs to be done somehow in a special way, otherwise they will not understand or even worse, they will become angry because they did not properly apply.
Angels, spiritual teachers are not better than us, their vibrations are simply higher. Therefore, they see the whole picture, and we are only part of it.
But in some situations it is necessary to be able to speak harshly about your needs.
The infographic below describes such cases, but on the contrary, there are ready-made requirements that you can use if you find yourself in such circumstances.
In an emergency, when life is in danger, angels have the right intervene without your asking.
Members of the closed group Golden Keys of Mastery on Facebook shared their personal experience of communicating with higher powers:
“I don’t know if this is a demand or an ultimatum or something else… I have many such examples.
So at one time I bought an apartment, at market prices of 15-20, bought for ten.
Up there, to be honest, I didn’t think about where I sent it, I just said: “But I don’t even have 10 yet, like that. But for 10 I'm ready to buy. There will be no apartment, there will be problems ... I won’t survive this .. That’s how you want.”
That if I stay a little longer in that space, my health will suffer very seriously, and a deplorable outcome is possible ...
The situation was very tricky... And the main thing was the confidence that there were only such options. Others are not accepted.
A year before the purchase, I set a date - until April 30th. I made the deposit on April 29… So, in a nutshell.”
Hope Gunko
“I start every day with gratitude and end the same way.
This is automatic, but consciously, sincerely)) like prescriptions for first-graders - without fail. Only for me it is a part of my being, life, a part of me.
And I do this ritual always with love. I fix it with prayers - and boldly step into a new day!
When I call on my Angels to help in a specific matter, I give a decree.
I ask you to arrange everything in the safest, most environmentally friendly way, as easy as possible for me and all participants in the process, for the highest good of EVERYONE!
I recently had a toothache. She called for the help of the Archangel Raphael and his assistants.
She asked for help to relieve the pain and save the tooth, if this is in accordance with the Divine plan.
She asked me to cover me with an emerald ray of healing and be next to me.
After a couple of minutes, the pain went away, I fell asleep. Later the tooth was treated, everything is ok”
Irina Lomaka
“From my experience. When several problems began to be highlighted at the same time, I demanded: “Since you show me so much, then make it easier to work through. Let everything be worked out by the package in a dream!”
I “spent” a few nights in the Purple Temple, and somehow everything gradually calmed down.
Now, if this happens again, I do not forget to turn to higher powers.
Be sure that you really need what you require, and then your request will be heard!
How and when to connect with spirit guides
In what form and at what time will communication with angels and spirit guides be most effective?
1. Before bed and after waking up
Also at night if you can't sleep.
Use this time to communicate with your invisible helpers. During such periods, the work of the brain slows down and goes into alpha frequency mode.
It is this state that we achieve when immersed in meditation. At these moments, the chances of hearing a voice increase significantly. true self.
2. In writing
When you write your request, the subconscious opens up. It is possible that the answer will come almost immediately.
If this does not happen, you will have the opportunity to check your request for specificity and assess whether it is understandable.
A handwritten request has more power than a mental request.
In this way he takes on a physical form. And this speeds up results.
Even if you are used to doing everything yourself, remember that your invisible friends are always next to you.
Do not rely only on your own strength. You can always turn to the wiser part of you, and your issue will be resolved many times faster and easier.
When you establish a close connection with the spiritual world, you will be in the flow of divine energy, learn to trust, get rid of anxiety.
Have you ever had periods in your life when you felt the invisible support of the Higher Forces? (These can be periods in life, or there may be momentary situations.) Or, on the contrary, when you tear your veins with all your might, and the result is mediocre?
My friend shared her story with me:
This case occurred in the 90s, when the stations were a hotbed of crime, where there were always a lot of pickpockets and other gopniks. I stood on the platform and waited for my train. Suddenly I had an unpleasant sensation, I turned around and saw a young guy run up to me and tried to rip off my new mink hat, which my husband gave me. I grabbed my hat with all my might. If I hadn't turned around then, I obviously wouldn't have had time to grab her. At first he looked me straight in the eye, and in just a moment his face turned pale with fear. Genuine fear was visible in the eyes of the criminal. He immediately let go of his cap and began to run. I looked around and saw no one behind me. Although I felt someone's presence nearby. A little later, I realized that it was my guardian angel. He has always protected me throughout my life.
Is there someone who guards and protects you? Someone is patronized by the spirits of the clan, someone is guardian angels, and someone is given the blessing of the spirits according to karma for merits in past lives.
As for politicians and celebrities, information very often leaks from various sources that they turn to magicians for help, or are themselves members of mystical orders. Although this topic is very taboo in our society. It is not customary to talk about this openly so as not to shock people.
Businessmen, government officials and public figures periodically turn to me for advice in order to perform a ritual or make an amulet to improve health, business, relationships. However, in ordinary life, they deny their involvement in magic. Many have good protection from viewing and negative impact. Their success is closely related to the support of the Higher Forces. I know this firsthand.
The blessing and support of the Higher Forces can be received. To do this, you must regularly perform rituals for the deities and spirits that favor you. I have long made it a rule to conduct prayer and ritual practices in honor of the spirits that help me. Moreover, in relationships with spirits, it is better to make offerings in advance in order to establish a connection with them. And when an emergency arises, they come to the rescue. It is worse when a person is faced with a difficulty and, wanting to quickly solve it, tries urgently, in 5 minutes, to find patrons and defenders for himself. You need to understand that this is not the case. It is impossible to make friends in 5 minutes, you can only get to know each other, friendship is something that takes a long time to form.
I suggest you make a simple ritual to receive help and blessings from the Higher Forces in your affairs. It will help to establish a connection with the Higher Forces, the guardian angel or the ancestors.
Would need: red or green a magic candle, incense (natural incense or an incense stick with a floral scent), an empty cup and a cup of water.
The course of the ritual
Sit facing East. Place a candle in a candlestick in front of you, put incense to the right of the candle, and place cups between you and the candles.
Spend a few minutes in peace and quiet to tune in to spiritual work. Next, turn to the Almighty with the words:
“Heavenly Father, I am performing this ritual in your honor, please bless me and give me the strength and wisdom to do everything right.”
Light a candle and burn incense from the candle. When the smoke from the incense begins to rise upward, begin your prayer:
“Oh God, I am asking you for help. May Your mercy not leave me. Protect me from any Spirit that wants to harm me in business. Send good Spirits who can protect me and help me. To you, the Most High, and to all good Spirits, I dedicate this Fire, Incense and Water.
Sit in silence for a few more minutes. Feel how representatives of the Higher Forces come to you.
If you have a specific request to the Higher Forces, then it can be stated by referring to those Light Spirits who came to your call:
"Good Spirits, I ask you for help in ... (healing yourself or your family; working and earning money; getting good luck, etc.)"
When you make your request to the Spirits, take a cup of water and pour some water (no more than half) into an empty cup. Wash yourself with water from the second cup, drink from it, sprinkle the rest on four sides with words of gratitude to the Higher Forces.
Leave the candle, incense and the first cup of water for a while.
I myself regularly conduct a similar ritual, only in a more complex version. During the ritual, I seek help and support for myself, my loved ones, my clients and students. The goals can be different: this is the improvement of affairs, relationships, health, and getting rid of harmful spirits.
If you need the support of the Higher Forces, but you yourself are not ready to conduct such rituals or doubt your abilities, then you can contact me. Such rituals do not have a fixed price, and part of the donation goes to purchase offerings to the spirits.
The host of Angels, according to the Holy Scriptures, is numerous, the personal names of only the seven main Angels - the Archangels are known. What is the ministry of each Archangel, how does each help people and where can you read about them in the Holy Scriptures, this book tells.
Heavenly hierarchy
Archangels, Angels, Principalities, Thrones, Dominations and Seraphim of the Six-Crylatia, and many-eyed Cherubim of the Divine, Organic Wisdom, Strength and Power of the Divine, pray to Christ to grant our souls peace and great mercy.
The Word of God says, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth" (Genesis 1:1). By the name of heaven it is natural to understand spirits (Col. 1:16), that is, the spiritual invisible world, or Angels. Holy Scripture, starting from the book of Genesis to the Apocalypse, presents us with Angels acting, fulfilling the commands of the Most High and protecting pious people with their cover. Holy Scripture narrates about the power and strength of the will of the Angels, and their fiery love for the Creator testifies to the purity and holiness of those who stand at the Throne of God.
Angels- the essence of the host of heaven, according to the Gospel: “And suddenly there appeared with an angel a numerous host of heaven, glorifying God and crying out: glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men” (Lk. 2, 13-14).
God sends angels to proclaim His decrees. Therefore, they are called Angels, that is, messengers.
There are countless angels, the human mind is lost in their countless host.
But here the order that reigns among the heavenly spirits is amazing. Order, harmony is the beauty of perfection, the wisdom and truth of God. In the Kingdom of Heaven there is no monotony and stagnation - there is diversity, movement, activity, striving, great, multi-complex activity, unknown to us here on earth.
Saint Dionysius the Areopagite, a disciple of the holy Apostle Paul, who was raptured to the third heaven (2 Cor. 12:2), there he saw the difference in the ranks of the holy angels, and explained this to Dionysius, how he divides the angels into nine ranks to his disciple, and divides the nine ranks of the angels into three hierarchies - each with three ranks - the highest, middle and lowest.
The first, highest and closest hierarchy to the Most Holy Trinity are: Seraphim, Cherubim and Thrones, second, middle - Powers, Dominions, Forces. The third one includes Principles, Archangels, Angels(St. Dionysius the Areopagite "On the Heavenly Hierarchy").
Closest to the Creator and Creator are the God-loving six-winged seraphim, as the prophet Isaiah saw: “Seraphim stood around Him; each of them had six wings: with two each one covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And they called to each other and said: Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of hosts! the whole earth is full of his glory!” (Isaiah 6:2-3).
seraphim- fiery, as immediately coming to Him, of whom it is written: “The sight of the glory of the Lord on the top of the mountain was before the eyes of the sons of Israel, like a consuming fire” (Ex. 24:17), His throne is a fiery flame (Dan. 7:9), because our God is a consuming fire (Heb. 12:29).
Seraphim blaze with love for God and excite others to the same love, as their very name shows, for “Seraphim” in Hebrew means: flaming.
After the Seraphim, before the Omniscient God, who lives in the impregnable light, they stand in unspeakable lordship multi-eyed Cherubim always shining with the light of the knowledge of God, the knowledge of the mysteries and depths of the wisdom of God, enlightening themselves and enlightening others. The name Cherubim, translated from the Hebrew language, means: much understanding or an outpouring of wisdom, for through the Cherubim wisdom is sent down to others and enlightenment is given for the knowledge of God and knowledge of God.
Then before the Almighty are coming God-bearing Thrones, for on them, as on reasonable thrones (as St. Maximus the Confessor writes), God rests. Resting on them in an incomprehensible way, God performs His righteous judgment, as David said: “For You have executed my judgment and my litigation; You have sat on the throne, the righteous Judge” (Ps. 9:5). Therefore, through them, God's justice is predominantly manifested, helping earthly judges, kings, lords and rulers to carry out a righteous judgment.
The middle hierarchy, as mentioned above, also contains three ranks of holy angels: Dominions, Powers and Powers.
dominance they send down power to prudent possession and wise management of earthly authorities, appointed by God, they teach to control feelings, humble obscene desires and passions, enslave the flesh to the spirit, rule over one’s own will and be above every temptation.
Forces filled with Divine strength and immediately fulfill the will of the Most High. They also work great miracles and send down the grace of miracles to the saints of God, so that they can work miracles, heal illnesses, foretell the future, help working and burdened people in carrying out the obedience entrusted to them, which explains their name of Power, i.e. they bear the infirmities of the weak. Forces strengthen each person in the patience of sorrows and misfortunes.
Authorities have power over the devil, tame the power of demons, repel temptations that are brought to people, do not allow demons to harm anyone to the extent that they wish, establish good ascetics in spiritual exploits and labors, protecting them so that they do not lose their spiritual kingdoms. Those struggling with passions and lusts are helped to drive away evil thoughts, slanders of the enemy and defeat the devil.
There are also three ranks in the lower hierarchy: Principals, Archangels and Angels.
Beginnings they rule over the lower Angels, directing them to the fulfillment of Divine commands. They are also entrusted with the administration of the universe and the protection of all kingdoms and principalities, lands and all peoples, tribes and languages.
Archangels great evangelists are called, who proclaim great and glorious things. Archangels reveal prophecies, knowledge and understanding of the will of God, strengthen the holy faith in people, enlightening their minds with the light of knowledge of the Holy Gospel, and reveal the sacraments of pious faith.
Angels in the Heavenly hierarchy below all ranks and closest to people. They proclaim the lesser mysteries and intentions of God and instruct people to live virtuously and righteously for God, protect us from all evil. Angels are assigned to protect every Christian: they support us from falling, raise the fallen and never leave us, even if we have sinned, for they are always ready to help us, if only we ourselves wish.
The words of the Savior present us with convincing evidence of the Guardian Angels: “Look, do not despise any of these little ones; for I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven” (Matthew 18:10).
But all the highest heavenly ranks are called by a common name - Angels. Although they, according to their position and according to the grace given by God, have different names - Seraphim, Cherubim, Thrones, Dominions, Forces, Authorities, Principles, Archangels, Angels- but they are all are called angels, for the word Angel is not a name for a being, but for a ministry, according to what is written: “Are not all of them ministering spirits sent out to serve…” (Heb. 1:14).
So, the Angels, fulfilling the will of God, as ministering spirits, take an active, living part in the fate of mankind. So, Angels proclaim to people the will of God, watch over states (Deut. 32: 8), guard human societies, regions, cities, monasteries, churches and govern various parts of the earth (Rev. 7, 1; 14, 18), have influence on private affairs of people (Gen. 32, 1-2), encourage, preserve (Dan. b, 22), lead out of prison (Acts 5, 19-20; 12, 7-9), are present at the exit of the soul from the body, accompany her procession through the aerial ordeals, lift up our prayers to God and intercede for us themselves (Rev. 8:3). Angels come to serve people (Heb. 1:14), teach the truth, virtue, enlighten the mind, strengthen the will and protect in life from troubles (Gen. 16, 7-12). You can read about the appearances of good angels in the Holy Scriptures - Gen. 18:2-22; 28, 12; Nav. 5, 13-14; OK. 1, 11, 26, 28; Matt. 2, 13; Acts. 5, 19; 10, 31; 12, 7.
Above all nine Heavenly ranks of Angels, Archangel Michael was appointed by God as the chief and leader. as a faithful servant of God.
Archangel Michael during the pernicious fall into the pride of Satan, his apostasy from God and the fall into the abyss, having gathered all the ranks and armies of the Angels, he loudly exclaimed: “Look, let us become good before our Creator and let’s not think about what is contrary to God! Let us see what suffered those who were created together with us and hitherto, together with us, were partakers of the divine light! Let us hear how, for the sake of pride, they suddenly fell from the light into darkness and from on high fell into the abyss! Let's see how the rising morning Dennitsa slept from the sky [Morning Dawn. Here, Dennitsa means a fallen angel, Satan, who was created by God before the world, visible by a bright spirit, as if ascending, clear morning dawn, but, puffed up and rebelling against God, fell into the abyss and was subjected to eternal condemnation] and was distressed on earth ”(Saint Grigory the Dialogist, "An Interpretation of the Four Gospels").
Speaking thus to the entire Cathedral of Angels, he, standing in front, began with the Seraphim and Cherubim and with all the heavenly ranks to glorify the Most Holy, Consubstantial and Indivisible Trinity, the One God, singing in accordance with the solemn song: “Holy, Holy, Holy Lord Sabaoth, fill heaven and the land of your glory!"
Angels are usually depicted with two wings to indicate the speed with which they strive to fulfill the commands of God in different parts of the universe.
The names of the Archangels are known from the Holy Scriptures. Each of them has a special ministry.
Saint Archangel Michael
Above all nine Angelic ranks, the Lord placed the Archangel Michael, whose name from the Hebrew language means - who is like God.
The veneration of the Holy Archangel Michael in the Orthodox Church dates back to the most ancient times. According to the meaning of the word, Michael is an Angel possessing extraordinary, unparalleled spiritual strength. The Holy Church presents a majestic historical picture of the divinely illumined deeds of the Archangel of the Holy Heavenly Powers of the incorporeal, everywhere depicting him as the first in the rank of the mountain hosts, an agent and a fighter for the glory of God and for the salvation of the human race.
The first battle-bearing feat was accomplished by the holy Archangel Michael in heaven. Satan, once the brightest of all the spirits of heaven, rose up against God, took it into his head to humiliate the glory of the Lord, made the first apostasy in the whole universe and dragged along with him many other spirits. Then the holy Archangel Michael, as a faithful servant of God, having gathered all the angelic ranks and hosts who were not carried away by the pernicious example of satanic exaltation, loudly called out: “Let us become good before the Creator of us; and do not think contrary to God. And standing in the first place in the host of incorporeal spirits, he began to sing a solemn song: “Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of hosts!” (Thu.Min. November 8th). Following this, the spirits of malice were cast out from heaven.
The Revelation of St. John the Theologian tells about the battle in heaven: “And there was a war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought against them, but did not stand, and there was no longer a place for them in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, the ancient serpent, called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world;
But as a consolation, believers are given to see in Revelation that this primordial struggle with the enemy of our salvation will end in the perfect victory of the Lamb (Rev. 19 and 20), and that in the struggle with the serpent we have the highest defenders and patrons, headed by the holy Archangel Michael.
When on earth the fate of God was revealed in a special way over the chosen people of the Jews, then the Church points to the holy Archangel Michael as the guardian, champion and defender of the people of God.
In the prophet Daniel, the Archangel Michael also appears as a special protector and patron of the Jewish people, always standing up for the defense of the Church from all her enemies (Dan. 10, 13, 21; 12, 1).
The Church in her hymns and prayers calls the Archangel Michael of the incorporeal Angels the first, the clerk and champion, and the Angels the chief leader, among the regiments of the Angelic elders, the heavenly ranks mentor (service 8 (21) November).
Therefore, the Archangel Michael is depicted in a militant form, with a spear and a sword in his hand, having a dragon under his feet, that is, the spirit of malice. The white banner adorning the top of his spear means the unchanging purity and unshakable fidelity of the Angels to the King of Heaven, and the cross with which the spear ends makes it clear that the battle with the kingdom of darkness and victory over it by the Archangels themselves is done in the name of the Cross of Christ, done through patience, humility and self-denial.
The Apostolic Scripture tells that the Archangel Michael argued with the devil about "the body of Moses" (Jude 9), and served as his burial, but the devil opposed it. Archangel Michael, the guardian of the Jewish people, contrary to the evil desire of the devil, hid the grave of the prophet Moses, so that the Jews, prone to idolatry, could not worship him as God.
The archangel of the power of the Lord, Archangel Michael, appeared to Joshua at the capture of Jericho: “Jesus, being near Jericho, looked, and sees, and behold, a man stands before him, and in his hand is a naked sword. Jesus went up to him and said to him: Are you ours, or one of our enemies? He said no; I am the captain of the host of the Lord, now I have come hither. Jesus fell on his face to the ground, and bowed down and said to him, What will my master say to his servant? The captain of the host of the Lord said to Jesus, Take off your sandals from off your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy. Jesus did just that” (Joshua 5:13-15). This appearance of the holy Archangel Michael inspired Joshua with hope for heavenly help. Soon the Lord Himself appeared to Joshua and taught him the method by which Jericho, the first strong city in the land of Canaan, was successfully taken.
Antiquity was so deeply convinced of the authenticity of the appearance of the Archangel Michael to Joshua that on the site of the appearance, even in the early days of Christianity, a monastery was erected in the name of the holy Archangel Michael.
In general, the holy Archangel Michael of the pre-peace rank, the chief clerk, the minister of the glory of God and the commander of the angels, all-praise, helped the Israelites in their battles with enemies on the way to the promised land and accompanied Moses throughout his laborious life.
September 6 Art. Art. The Orthodox Church celebrates a holiday called “Remembrance of the miracle of the Archangel Michael, who was in Khonekh (Colossae).
In Phrygia, near the city of Hierapolis, there was a temple in the name of the Archangel Michael and with it a healing spring. The pagans, dissatisfied with the fact that the temple serves as a place of special veneration for Christians, decided to destroy it. To this end, they connected two upland rivers into one channel and directed the course towards the temple. But through the prayers of St. Archippus, who lived at this temple, the holy Archangel Michael appeared and, with a blow of his staff, opened a cleft, which absorbed the water that was lowered onto the temple, and this place was called Hona (hole, cleft). Russia was also honored with the apparition of the Archangel Michael, like other countries. It was in 1608 in the Holy Trinity Sergius Lavra during the invasion of the Poles to Rus', when the Archangel Michael appeared to Archimandrite Joseph, who at that time was the rector of the Lavra, with a beaming face, with a scepter in his hands and said to the enemies who had been besieging the monastery for several months: “Soon Almighty God will reward you with vengeance.” And the enemy, having stood at the walls of the monastery without any success, was forced to retreat in shame.
The protection of Russian cities by the Most Holy Theotokos was always carried out by Her appearances with the Host of Heaven under the leadership of the Archangel Michael. Therefore, the faith of Orthodox Christians in the help of the Archangel Michael in all troubles, sorrows, needs is strong.
Archangel Michael in the Old Testament is referred to as "the great prince, standing for the sons of the people", he stands before the Throne of the Lord. In the Old Testament, the Holy Archangel Michael was the Guardian Angel of some leaders and rulers of the people of Israel, in the New Testament the Orthodox Church recognized him as a champion and intercessor for everyone, she encourages each and every true Christian to cry out to the first of the Angels for help and intercession before God. The Church recognizes the Archangel Michael as its Divine adornment, and the peace of the valley as a fence and affirmation (service on September 6 (19), can. No. 1). She teaches that the holy Archangel Michael bypasses the whole earth with a divine fortress, withdrawing from the fierce those who call on his divine name (ibid., pes. 3), calls him a divine preacher, a non-contemptible representative of the faithful, a guide and punisher of the lost (pes. 3), a prayer book for saving people (pes. 3). In a word, she makes everyone and everyone cry out to the great Archangel of God: “under the roof of your divine wings, fleeing by faith, Michael, divine mind, observe and cover through all life: and at the hour, Archangel, terrible mortal, you appear helper, to all of us most hospitable ”(service on November 8 (21), article on praise).
So, Archangel Michael is the winner of adversaries, the deliverer from all troubles and sorrows, the protector of all Orthodox Christians from visible and invisible enemies and evil spirits.
They pray to Archangel Michael for deliverance from sorrow, at the entrance to a new house and at the foundation of the house, for the patronage of the throne and the state, for the salvation and preservation of Russia.
September 6 (19) celebration of the “Remembrance of the miracle of the Archangel Michael, who was in Khonekh (Colossae)” (IV).
On November 8 (21), the Holy Church glorifies all the Heavenly Forces, headed by the Archangel Michael. Archangel Michael is glorified as the leader of the Heavenly Forces and this holiday is called the Cathedral of the Archangel Michael and other incorporeal Heavenly Forces.
Those who are adorned with the name of the first of the Archangels, that is, with the name Michael, are best distinguished by zeal for the glory of God, loyalty to the King of Heaven and the kings of the earth, constant war against vice and wickedness, constant humility and self-sacrifice.
Prayers to the Archangel Michael of God
Prayer 1st
The holy and great Archangel of God Michael, the inscrutable and essential Trinity, the first primate in the Angels, the kind of human guardian and guardian, crushing with his host the head of the prideful day in heaven and always put to shame his malice and deceit on earth!
We resort to you with faith and pray to you with love: be an indestructible shield and firmly take away the Holy Church and our Orthodox fatherland, protecting them with your lightning sword from all enemies visible and invisible. Be a wise mentor and companion to all Orthodox Christians, wearing them from the Throne of the King of the reigning enlightenment and strength, joy, peace and consolation. Be the leader and companion invincible to our Christ-loving army, crowning it with glory and victories over adversaries, may all those who oppose us know that God and His holy angels are with us!
Do not leave about the Archangel of God, with your help and intercession, and us, glorifying your holy name today; behold, if we are many sinners, we both do not want to perish in our iniquities, but to turn to the Lord and be revived from Him for good deeds. Illuminate our minds with the light of God, so that we can understand that there is a good and perfect will of God for us, and lead everything, even it is fitting for us to do and even despise and leave. Strengthen by the grace of the Lord our weak will and our feeble will, and having established ourselves in the law of the Lord, we will stop the rest of the earthly thoughts and lusts of the flesh and for the sake of the perishable and earthly, eternal and heavenly madness to forget. Above all of these, ask us from above for true repentance, unhypocritical sadness according to Bose and contrition for our sins, let us complete the number of days of our temporary life remaining for us in blotting out the evils we have committed. When the hour of our death and liberation from the bonds of this mortal body approaches, do not leave us, the Archangel of God, defenseless against the spirits of malice in heaven; ascending to the heavens that used to block the souls of mankind, yes, guard you, we will without stumble reach those glorious villages of paradise, where there is sadness, no sighing, but life is endless, and we will be able to see the bright face of the All-good Lord and our Master and give glory to Him, with the Father and the Holy Spirit, forever and ever. Amen (from the service with an akathist).

Amen. (From an ancient manuscript).

Holy Archangel Gabriel
Archangel Gabriel is the herald of the mysteries of God.
The name Gabriel in Hebrew means: the man of God, the fortress of God, the strength of God.
Archangel Gabriel is one of the seven Archangels sent by God to proclaim to people the great deeds of God.
He explained to the prophet Daniel the prophetic visions about kings and kingdoms (Dan. 8), about the time of the coming of the Savior. . . “while I was still continuing my prayer, the husband Gabriel, whom I had seen before in a vision, quickly flew in, touched me about the time of the evening sacrifice and admonished me, spoke to me and said: “Daniel! now I have come to teach you understanding. At the beginning of your supplication, a word went out, and I came to proclaim it to you, for you are a man of desires: listen therefore to the word and understand the vision. Seventy weeks (Sedmina - seven years) are determined for your people and your holy city, so that the crime is covered, sins are sealed and iniquities are blotted out, and eternal truth is brought, and the vision and the prophet are sealed, and the Holy of Holies is anointed.
Therefore, know and understand: from the time the command comes out about the restoration of Jerusalem, until Christ the Master is seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; and the people will return and the streets and walls will be built, but in difficult times. And after the expiration of sixty-two weeks, Christ will be put to death, and will not; but the city and the sanctuary will be destroyed by the people of the leader who will come, and its end will be like a flood, and until the end of the war there will be devastation. And one week will confirm the covenant for many, and in the middle of the week sacrifice and offering will cease, and on the wing of the sanctuary there will be an abomination of desolation, and the final predestined death will overtake the desolator ”(Dan. 9, 21-27).
The Archangel Gabriel also instructed the holy prophet Moses in the desert, when writing the book of Genesis, passing on to him the revelations of God about the first generations and years, starting from the creation of the world.
The Archangel Gabriel announced to the priest Zechariah the birth of John the Baptist from his barren, elderly wife Elizabeth. . . “Then an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing on the right side of the altar of the incense burner. Zechariah, seeing him, was embarrassed, and fear fell upon him. The angel said to him: Do not be afraid, Zacharias, for your prayer has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you will call his name: John; and you will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth, for he will be great before the Lord; he will not drink wine and strong drink, and the Holy Spirit will be filled even from his mother's womb; and he will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God; and he will go before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to restore the hearts of the fathers to the children, and in the disobedient mindset of the righteous, in order to present to the Lord a people prepared. And Zacharias said to the Angel: Why do I know this? for I am old, and my wife is advanced in years. The angel answered and said to him: I am Gabriel, who stands before God, and I have been sent to speak with you and announce this good news to you ”(Luke 1, 11-19).
Also, the Archangel Gabriel appeared to the righteous Anna and Joachim, who was fasting in the desert, and announced to each of them that they would have a daughter, the chosen Mother of the Messiah from the ages, coming for the salvation of the human race.
This great Archangel was appointed by God as the custodian of the Mother of God Mary, who was born of the barren, and when She was brought into the temple, He fed Her, bringing Her food daily.
This same intercessor of God, having been sent by God to Nazareth, appeared to the Most Holy Virgin, betrothed to the righteous Joseph, and announced to Her the conception of the Son of God by the overshadowing and the action of the Holy Spirit in Her. . . “In the sixth month, the Angel Gabriel was sent from God to the city of Galilee, called Nazareth, to the Virgin, betrothed to a husband named Joseph, from the house of David; the name of the Virgin: Mary. The angel, having entered to Her, said: Rejoice, Blessed One! The Lord is with you; blessed are you among women. She, seeing him, was embarrassed by his words and wondered what kind of greeting it would be. And the angel said to her: Fear not, Mary, for you have found grace with God; and behold, thou shalt conceive in the womb, and thou shalt bear a Son, and thou shalt call his name: Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father; and shall reign over the house of Jacob forever, and his kingdom shall have no end. Mary said to the Angel: How will it be when I do not know my husband? The angel answered her: The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you, therefore the Holy One who is being born will be called the Son of God” (Luke 1:26-35).
The Archangel Gabriel appeared in a dream to Joseph the Betrothed, explaining to him that the Maiden remained innocent, for what was conceived in Her from the Holy Spirit… womb from the Holy Spirit. Joseph her husband, being righteous and not wanting to publicize her, wanted to secretly let her go. But when he thought this - behold, the Angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said: Joseph, son of David! do not be afraid to take Mary your wife, for what is born in her is from the Holy Spirit; she will give birth to a Son, and you will call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins ”(Matthew 1, 18-2 1).
And when our Lord was born in Bethlehem, the Archangel Gabriel appeared to the shepherds guarding their flocks at night and said: “Do not be afraid; I proclaim to you great joy, which will be for all people: for today a Savior is born to you in the city of David, who is Christ the Lord; and here is a sign for you: you will find a baby in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger” (Luke 2:8-12).
The Archangel Gabriel warned Joseph the Betrothed about the plans of Herod and ordered him to flee to Egypt with the Child and the Virgin: “. . .behold, the Angel of the Lord appears in a dream to Joseph and says: Get up, take the Baby and His Mother and run to Egypt, and stay there until I tell you, for Herod wants to look for the Baby in order to destroy Him. He got up, took the Child and His Mother by night, and went into Egypt” (Mt. 2:13-14).
“After the death of Herod, behold, the Angel of the Lord appears in a dream to Joseph in Egypt and says: Get up, take the Child and His Mother and go to the land of Israel, for those who sought the soul of the Child have died. He got up, took the Child and His Mother, and came into the land of Israel” (Matthew 2:19-21).
The myrrh-bearing women heard from him the joyful news of the Resurrection of Christ.
According to God-wise men, the Archangel Gabriel was sent to strengthen the Savior in the Garden of Gethsemane and to proclaim to the Mother of God Her all-honorable Assumption.
The laudatory song of the Mother of God “It is worthy to eat” was also taught to the monk of the Athos monastery by the Archangel Gabriel.
Therefore, the Church calls the Archangel Gabriel the minister of the miracles and mysteries of God, the herald of joy and salvation, the herald and minister of Divine omnipotence.
On March 26 (April 8), the celebration in honor of the Archangel Gabriel is the day of the Council, because on the next day of the Annunciation, Christians gather together to glorify the holy Archangel with sacred songs, as the heavenly messenger of the great mystery of the incarnation of the Son of God. The Holy Archangel Gabriel is one of the seven spirits, “who bring the prayers of the saints and enter before the glory of the Holy One” (Tov. 12:15).
July 13 (26) - Cathedral of the Holy Archangel Gabriel. This holiday has existed since the 9th century and serves as a memory of all the miraculous appearances of the Archangel Gabriel.
November 8 (21) - Cathedral of the Archangel Michael and other incorporeal Heavenly Forces. Archangels: Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, Selaphiel, Yehudiel, Barahiel and Jeremiel, where the Archangel Gabriel is glorified with the entire Council of Heavenly Forces.
The Holy Church depicts the Archangel Gabriel with a paradise branch in his hand, which was brought by him to the Mother of God, and sometimes in his right hand with a lantern, inside which a candle burns, and in his left hand with a jasper mirror. They are depicted with a mirror because the Archangel Gabriel is the messenger of the fate of God about the salvation of the human race. With a candle in the lantern they are depicted because the fates of God are hidden until the time of their fulfillment and, by the very fulfillment, are comprehended only by those who steadily look into the mirror of the word of God and their conscience. Therefore, those who bear the name Gabriel are worthy of that “faith of God, for which, according to the word of the Savior Himself, nothing is impossible.”

Holy Archangel Raphael
The month of November was chosen for the feast of the Angels because it is the ninth from March, which was once the beginning of the year, and the number nine corresponds to the nine orders of the angels.
According to the Holy Scriptures and tradition, the following Archangels are known: Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, Selaphiel, Yehudiel, Barachiel and Jeremiel. But they are not called Archangels in the proper sense, but belong to the rank of Seraphim, while they are called Archangels as leaders of the angelic forces. They are the highest of the Seraphim, the closest to God (Denisov L. Apparitions and miracles of the seven holy Archangels. M., 1901).
“Grace to you and peace from Him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven spirits who are before His throne” - we read in the Revelation of St. John the Theologian (Rev. 1, 4). These seven spirits are the seven Archangels.
Archangel Raphael is a healer of human ailments, a guide, a doctor of God.
The name Raphael, translated from the Hebrew language, means help, God's healing, God's healing, healer of human ailments (Tov. 3, 17; 12, 15).
Archangel Raphael, doctor of human ailments, comforter of the mourners, is mentioned in Holy Scripture. There is a whole book called "The Book of Tobit", which describes how the Archangel Raphael, in the form of a young man, accompanied the righteous Tobias, protected him from unexpected misfortunes on the way, freed Sarah, the daughter of Raguilov, from the evil spirit of Asmodeus, gave her to Tobiah's wife, son of Tobit, took off the thorn from Tobit (Tov.3, 16-17; 5,4-6; 6,8-9; 7,2-3; 11, 6-7, 10-13; 12, 6-7; 14, 15, 18).
Departing from the house of Tobit, Tobias and Raphael came in the evening to the Tigris River. When Tobiah wanted to bathe, a fish appeared from the river that wanted to devour him, but Raphael said to Tobiah: “Take this fish, cut it open, take out the heart, liver and bile, and save them.” Tobias did just that. To his question - why this liver, heart and bile from fish? Raphael answered: “If someone is tormented by a demon or an evil spirit, then he should smoke with his heart and liver in front of such a man or woman, and he will no longer be tormented, but anoint a person who has a thorn in his eyes with bile, and he will be healed.”
When they came to Yekbatany, where Sarah, the daughter of Raguel, lived, whose seven suitors were destroyed by the evil spirit Asmodeus, they were well received in the house of Raguel. Raguel gave Sarah, his daughter, to wife Tobias. Tobias, entering the bedroom, took the incense burner, put the heart and liver of the fish, and smoked. The demon, hearing this smell, fled to the upper countries of Egypt.
When Tobias with his wife Sarah and Raphael went on their way back to Nineveh, where Tobit lived, Raphael said: “I know, Tobias, that your father’s eyes will open: you just anoint his eyes with bile, and he, feeling causticity, will wipe them off, and the thorns will fall, and he will see you.”
Tobias applied bile to his father's eyes and said, "Be of good cheer, my father!" His eyes were stuck and he wiped them off, and the thorns were removed from the edges of his eyes and he saw his son Tobiah.
When Tobit wanted to give half of the silver brought to Tobiah’s companion in gratitude, Raphael, having taken Tobit and Tobiah aside, said to them: “Bless God, glorify Him, recognize His greatness and confess before all living things that He has done for you ... The secret of the king is decent to keep, but it is commendable to announce the works of God. Do good, and evil will not come upon you... Now God has sent me to heal you and your daughter-in-law Sarah. I am Raphael, one of the seven holy angels who lift up the prayers of the saints and ascend before the glory of the Holy One… I came not by my own will, but by the will of our God; therefore bless him forever.”
The words spoken by the Archangel Raphael when separated from the family of Tobit are also very instructive: “A good deed is prayer with fasting and almsgiving and justice. Better a little with justice than a lot with unrighteousness; it is better to do alms than to collect gold, for alms deliver from death and can cleanse every sin. Those who do alms and works of righteousness will live long. Sinners are the enemies of their own life.” Tobit and Tobiah were confused and fell on their faces to the ground, because they were in fear. But Raphael said to them: “Do not be afraid, peace will be yours. Bless God forever... So, glorify God now, because I ascend to the One who sent me, and write all that has happened in a book. And they got up and saw him no more.”
Therefore, whoever wishes to be honored with the heavenly help of the Archangel Raphael, he himself must be merciful to the distressed. Moreover, the virtue of mercy and compassion should distinguish those bearing the name of Raphael - otherwise they will not have a spiritual union with the Archangel.
The Holy Church depicts the Archangel Raphael holding a vessel with medical remedies in his slightly raised left hand and leading Tobias with his right hand, carrying a fish caught in the Tigris River.
Prayer to Archangel Raphael
Oh, Holy Great Archangel Raphael, stand before the Throne of God! You, by grace, from the Almighty Physician of our souls and bodies given to you, the righteous husband Tobit healed from bodily blindness, and his son, Tobias, traveling to him, saved you from the evil spirit. I pray to You with all my heart, be my guide in my life, save the enemy from all visible and invisible, heal my spiritual and bodily illnesses, direct my life to repentance for sins and to do good deeds. Oh, holy great Raphael the Archangel! Hear me, a sinner, praying to you, and make me worthy in this and the future life to thank and glorify our common Creator in endless ages of ages. Amen. (From an ancient manuscript).

Holy Archangel Uriel
Archangel Uriel is the fire or light of God, the enlightener of the darkened and the ignorant, the enlightener of spiritual and bodily feelings, the mentor of the lost, the stimulus to prayer.
The name Uriel, translated from Hebrew, means the light or fire of God, the enlightener (3 Ezra 5:20).
Uriel, being the radiance of the Divine fire, is the enlightener of the darkened. As an Angel of light, he enlightens the minds of people with the revelation of truths that are useful to them; as an Angel of Divine fire, he ignites hearts with love for God and destroys in them impure earthly attachments.
The Archangel Uriel is written in the Third Book of Ezra (3 Ezr. 4, 1-50; 5).
Archangel Uriel was sent by God to Ezra to offer him three likenesses and show him three ways:
“If you explain one of them to me, then I will show you the path that you want to see, and I will teach you where the evil heart came from. Then I said: Speak, my lord. He said to me: go and weigh the weight of the fire, or measure the breath of the wind for me, or return to me the day that has already passed. What man, I replied, could do what you demand of me? And he said to me: if I asked you how many dwellings are in the heart of the sea, or how many springs are at the very foundation of the abyss, or how many lived above the firmament, or what are the limits of paradise, you would perhaps say to me: “into the abyss I never descended, and into hell also, and never ascended to heaven. Now I asked you only about the fire, the wind and the day that you lived through, and about that without which you cannot be, and you did not answer me. And he said to me: you cannot know what is yours and with you from youth; how could your vessel contain the path of the Most High and in this already noticeably corrupted age understand the corruption that is obvious in my eyes? (3 Rides 4, 4-11):
Archangel Uriel answered this to Ezra: “Stand on the right side, and I will explain to you the meaning of the likeness. And I stood and saw: behold, a burning furnace passes before me; and when the flame passed, I saw: there was smoke. After this, a cloud filled with water passed before me, and a heavy rain fell from it; but as soon as the rush of rain stopped, drops remained. Then he said to me: think to yourself: as rain is more than drops, and fire is more than smoke, so the measure of the past exceeded, but drops and smoke remained ”(3 Ezra 4, 47-50).
With these words, the Archangel Uriel pointed out to Ezra that the time for the arrival of the Redeemer on earth was near, that from his time to the coming of the Savior there were few years left, much less than from the creation of the world to the time of Ezra, who lived in the fifth century BC. So, Archangel Uriel is the servant of the light of truth, the enlightener of the darkened, the mentor of the lost, the stimulus to prayer.
People devoted to the sciences are your Archangel! Do not forget, following his example, to be servants not only of the light of truth, but also of the fire of Divine love. As the holy apostle Paul said: “Reason swells, but builds love” (1 Corinthians 8:1). The holy Archangel Uriel is depicted holding a naked sword in his right hand, against his chest, and a fiery flame in his left, lowered down, which marks a particularly strong zeal for the God of this Archangel.
Holy Archangel Selaphiel
Archangel Selaphiel (Salaphiel) is a prayer book of God, always praying to God for people and encouraging people to pray, a prayer book for the salvation and health of people.
The name Selaphiel, translated from Hebrew, means prayer to God, the prayer book of God, inciting to prayer.
About this Archangel it is written in the Third Book of Ezra: “And it came to pass, on the second night, Salafiel, the leader of the people…” (3 Jer. 5:16).
Archangel Selaphiel appeared to Hagar in the desert when she was praying in deep sorrow. He told her: “. . The Lord heard your suffering. . ." (Gen. 16:11).
According to the belief of the Church, the holy Archangel Selaphiel also appeared to Hagar in the desert of Beersheba, when Abraham expelled her. In the book of Genesis, this is narrated as follows: “Abraham got up early in the morning, and took bread and a skin of water, and gave Hagar, putting on her shoulders, and a lad, and let her go. She went and got lost in the desert of Beer-sheba; and there was no water in the bottle, and she left the lad under one bush and went, sat down at a distance, at a distance of one shot from her bow. For she said: I do not want to see the death of the lad. And she sat down at a distance opposite him, and raised a cry, and wept; and God heard the voice of the lad from where he was; and an angel of God called from heaven to Hagar and said to her: What is the matter with you, Hagar? don't be afraid; God heard
the voice of the youth from where he is; Arise, lift up the boy and take him by the hand, for I will make of him a great nation. And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of living water, and she went and filled the bottle with water and gave the boy to drink. And God was with the lad; and he grew up…” (Genesis 21:14-20).
So, the Lord gave us a whole face of prayer angels, with their leader Selaphiel, so that with the pure breath of their lips they would warm our cold hearts to prayer, so that they would instruct us about what, when and how to pray, so that they would lift up our very offerings to the throne of grace.
The holy Archangel Selaphiel is depicted with his face and eyes bowed down and with his hands folded in prayer on his chest, as happens with a person praying tenderly.
Seeing the Archangel himself in such a position of prayer, let us try ourselves during prayer to always be in a position appropriate for the one who is praying.
Holy Archangel Yehudiel
Archangel Yehudiel - the patron saint of ascetics and monastics, a glorifier of God, strengthening the working people for the glory of God and interceding for recompense for their exploits and labors, a companion and mentor in work, an intercessor on the way, an assistant to those in need of something for the glory of God.
Each of us, from young to old, is obliged to live and work for the glory of God. On our sinful earth, every good deed is not done otherwise than with difficulty, and many with great and heavy. But our Lord and Master will not forget any work of ours and any work of love in His name (Heb. 6:10).
The name Jehudiel, translated from Hebrew, means - glorifying God, praise God.
According to the belief of the Church, based on Holy Tradition, the holy Archangel Jehudiel is one of the seven Archangels who, by the Command of God, patronized the Israelites on their way during their 40-year wandering, and the name of Jehudiel is given to that Angel who preceded the Israelites in a pillar of fire and cloud at leaving Egypt, guarding them from their pursuers: “And the Angel of God, who went before the camp of the sons of Israel, moved, and went behind them; the pillar of cloud also moved away from their face and stood behind them; and entered into the middle between the camp of Egypt and between the camp of the sons of Israel, and was a cloud and darkness for some, and illuminated the night for others, and they did not come close to each other all the night ”(Ex. 14, 19-20).
When Moses, after forty days of fasting and prayers, ascended Mount Sinai, God appeared to him and, handing the tablets of the covenant, gave him a law that the people of Israel were to observe. And the Lord said: “Behold, I am sending my angel before you to keep you on the way and to bring you to the place that I have prepared for you; watch yourselves before him and listen to his voice; do not resist Him, for He will not forgive your sin, for My name is in Him” (Ex. 23:20-21). “... When My Angel goes before you and leads you to the Ammorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hivites and Jebusites, and I will destroy them from your presence, then do not worship their gods, and do not serve them” (Ex. 23, 23-24 ).
So, the ministry of the Archangel Jehudiel is to strengthen people who work for the glory of God and intercede for retribution for their deeds.
The holy Archangel Jehudiel is depicted holding a golden crown in his right hand, and in his left a scourge of three black ropes with three ends - this marks the reward from God to pious and holy people and the punishment of sinners.
Holy Archangel Barahiel
The Holy Archangel Barahiel is the giver of God's blessings to people for good deeds and an intercessor, asking people for God's mercy and God's blessing to lead a life in spiritual health and salvation, the patron of pious families, the guardian of the purity of soul and body.
The name Varahiel, translated from Hebrew, means - blessed by God, God's blessing.
Archangel Varahiel is depicted as carrying white roses on his chest, on his clothes, as a harbinger of bliss in the Kingdom of Heaven, and Archangel Varahiel himself is, as it were, a harbinger of bliss and endless peace in the Kingdom of Heaven.
Holy Archangel Jeremiel
Archangel Jeremiel - the inspirer of good and kind thoughts, the lifter of souls to God, the offering to God is the mercy of God.
The name Jeremiel in Hebrew means - elevation to God, the height of God.
About the holy Archangel Jeremiel in the Third Book of Ezra it is written as follows: “Do not the souls of the righteous inquire about the same thing in their gates, saying: “How long shall we hope in this way? And when is the fruit of our retribution?" Jeremiah the Archangel answered me: “when the number of seeds in you is fulfilled, for the Almighty weighed this age on the scales, and measured the times by measure, and numbered the hours, and will not move and speed up until a certain measure is fulfilled” ( 3 Ezra 4, 35-37), i.e. the next age will come only when the number of dead righteous reaches a certain limit. This answer is given to them by the Archangel Jeremiel (the Apocalypse of John the Theologian gives the exact figure of those sealed from all the tribes of Israel, namely 144,000 (7, 4)).
All nine ranks of Angels will gather on the day of the Last Judgment of the Lord, when “the Son of Man will come in His glory and all the holy angels with Him”, “Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory; and he will send his angels with a loud trumpet, and they will gather his chosen ones from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other (Matt. 24:30-31). And then the elect will hear the words of the Savior of the world: “Come, you blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world” (Matthew 25:34).
Prayer to the Holy Angels
To you, as an intercessor and guardian of my belly, as a cursed one, crouching, I pray: grant me with your prayers a day's stay, charitably and unskillfully from evil deeds and thoughts. Open the hearing with my ear, so that I can hear and understand the deeds and words of God, soulful, so that I can see the inner eyes, obsessed with sinful darkness. Pray for me, who has been sinning all the hours, that the sword of the Lord's wrath will not girdle me: you have greatly exceeded my iniquity on my head, and like a heavy burden you have weighed down on me. But you, my Lord, Lord, look upon me, and have mercy on me, and lead my sinful soul out of prison, before I even leave from here, and I will not come to Your terrible Judgment. Receive your holy angels praying for us, even around your throne they will be taken out with fear, and with those prayers, more than the Most Pure Mother, deliver me from the Terrible Onago and Your terrible judgment. You are the Lamb of God, take away the sins of the whole world, crucified on our cross for the sake of salvation; listen to my prayer, and send the Guardian Angel of my soul and body, so that we instruct, I will get rid of all enemies visible and invisible, and I will be able to receive Your mercy, with all who have pleased You from the ages, as You are our God, and I resort to You, and I hope in You, even if I sin more than a person, but I don’t back down, not lift my hand to another god, I pray to You, Lord Jesus Christ, I will bless You, and I bow to You from the One Trinity, with the Father and the Holy Spirit, now and forever, and forever and ever. Amen. (From the canon).

Every year on November 21, the Orthodox Church celebrates the Cathedral of the Archangel Michael and other incorporeal heavenly powers. What are these heavenly powers? We know from Holy Scripture that these are invisible creatures that do His will and also protect people from evil forces.
To date, it is reliably known about such categories of heavenly forces: Seraphim, Cherubim, Thrones, Forces, Powers, Dominations, Beginnings, Archangels and Angels. Most of all we know about the Archangels and Angels, because it is they who appear to people in order to protect, convey the will of God, and inform about an upcoming important event. They are closest to God, and therefore prayer to the heavenly forces is of great power and significance, because it is they who bring the petitions of mortal people to God.
Protective prayer to the holy heavenly powers incorporeal
Heavenly forces are creatures that do not know sin, filth, vice, envy, malice, hatred, slander. They are filled with great love for God and at the same time love and compassion for people. There are a huge number of them, but by name we know only seven Archangels: Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, Salafiel, Yehudiel, Barahiel.
Holy prayers to the heavenly forces in the person of the archangels contain a wide variety of petitions. First of all, they protect from demonic attacks and physical enemies, especially Archangel Michael was awarded this grace. Archangel Gabriel is prayed for infertility, Archangel Raphael heals from various diseases with God's grace. According to the tradition established by the church, each Archangel is the head of one of the days of the week, therefore it is recommended to read Orthodox prayers to the heavenly forces every day, asking them for patronage.
Quick help from prayer to heavenly forces
The closest representatives of the heavenly forces to people are Guardian Angels. The text of the prayer to the Guardian Angel is contained in every prayer book and is included in the morning prayer rule of an Orthodox Christian.
Teach your children to read a strong prayer to the Guardian Angel, explaining to them in advance the importance of this action. Do not be lazy to attend the annual service to the holy and disembodied heavenly powers, and thank them for their help and representation before God.

Oh, holy Heavenly Beginnings, implore our Lord Jesus Christ to make us worthy to lay a good beginning!
In the life of every person there are difficult times, the so-called black streak, when a series of trials, difficulties and problems comes. Very often a person gives up and his soul is filled with despair - everything around is bad and no light is visible. This happens to worldly people, and they seek solace from psychologists or get lost in bad habits. Churched Christians should seek help from the Lord and the holy and incorporeal heavenly forces with a special prayer.
How does prayer help?
When a lot of problems and difficulties come in life, it is very difficult to decide which saint to pray to, because it happens that a person falls ill, suffers financial and family problems, and his spirit is discouraged by this. Problems of a completely different nature and require serious intervention from above.
In every petition there must be sincerity to God the Creator
There are several prayers that call for help from numerous Heavenly forces at once, it is considered very effective, subject to the unconditional faith of the asker. This prayer helps in completely different needs:
- family difficulties (disagreements, quarrels, scandals);
- financial problems (loss of work, debts, large unforeseen expenses);
- difficulties at work (disagreements with superiors, conflicts in the team, deceit);
- worsening health (persistent illnesses, incurable diseases, worsening health in general);
- a decline in mental strength (depression, disappointment in God and the Church, despondency, doubts, etc.).
It is common for a person to worry excessively and endure difficulties very painfully, especially when several areas of his life suffer at once. "Vanity of vanities, all is vanity!" King Solomon once said, and he was right. The whole life of a person is worldly and worries about it take away vital forces. These problems are equally difficult for a person and often take away the last peace and tranquility, but one should not give in to despondency because there is a Lord! He is strong to save a person from any difficulties and for the Lord there are no barriers and nothing is impossible!
Important! During such a period of life, one should pray especially hard and attend regular meetings, devoting free time to this regularly. Reading the Scriptures and the Holy Fathers of the Church will also help calm the rebellious soul and find peace and tranquility.
One should not despair - this feeling never leads to anything good, but it is worth constantly repeating that the Lord is strong to save! Therefore, be sure to read a prayer every morning to the numerous saints and Incorporeal Heavenly Forces!

Prayer Reading Rules
Many people think that problems can be solved simply by visiting a church once and ordering a prayer service for salvation, well, be sure to donate. This, of course, is important and necessary, but first of all, a person must change inside, understand that all this is vanity and turn to God as the only thing important in life.
Prayer should be read every morning and, preferably, in the evening before going to bed, lighting a candle or lamp in front of the icon of the Trinity. You can put candles in front of all available icons. It is advisable to do this in silence, in a whisper or in a low voice so that the asker hears his words, but no one interferes with him. There are a number of prayers that are worth reading during such a period of life, starting with the first to all the Incorporeal Heavenly Forces:
All holy Heavenly Incorporeal Powers, honor me with your power to crush all evil and passions under my feet.
Holy Bodiless Seraphim, make me worthy to have a flaming heart for God.
Holy Bodiless Cherubim, make me worthy to have wisdom for the glory of God.
Holy Bodiless Thrones, vouchsafe me to discern truth from untruth.
Holy Incorporeal Dominions, deign me to rule over the passions, so that the spirit will enslave the flesh.
Holy Incorporeal Powers, vouchsafe me to have courage in fulfilling the will of God.
Holy Incorporeal Power, deign me to have the power of victory over evil.
Holy Incorporeal Beginnings, make me worthy to serve the Lord God in the integrity of my heart and the deeds of my hands.
Holy Bodiless Archangels, make me worthy to do the will of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Holy Incorporeal Angels, make me worthy to guide the weak in enlightening them in the truth.
This petition calls for the help of all the Cherubim, Angels and Archangels that exist. At the same time, it includes all possible requests, starting with the calming of passions and ending with serving the Lord. A person thus covers all spheres of his life. At the same time, it is important not only to read the words, but to find a response to them inside, i.e. experience what is said, take it to heart and allow it to be changed.
Do not forget about the Guardian Angel, who is always there and protects a person from difficulties and troubles. It is important to read a prayer to him in situations where there is a threat to life or health:
Angel of God, my holy guardian, keep my belly in the fear of Christ God, fix my mind in the true path, and hurt my soul to the love of the heavens, so that by you I will receive great mercy from Christ God.
Holy Angel, stand before my accursed soul and my passionate life, do not leave me a sinner, depart from me below for my intemperance. Give no place to the crafty demon to possess me, the violence of this mortal body; strengthen my poor and thin hand and guide me on the path of salvation. To her, the holy Angel of God, the guardian and patron of my accursed soul and body, forgive me all, insult you with great insults all the days of my stomach, and if I have sinned this past night, cover me this present day, and save me from every temptation of the opposite, let me anger God in no sin, and pray for me to the Lord, let him confirm me in His fear, and worthy of showing me a servant of His goodness. Amen.
Overshadowing the forehead with the holy sign of the cross, I am a servant of God, I give praise to the Lord and pray to His holy angel for help. Help, saint, in my affairs. For I am sinless before God and people, and if I have sinned, then not out of good will, but out of thoughtlessness and the machinations of the evil one. Then pray for me before God and help me strengthen my work. I was appointed by the Lord to rule over many, and a lot of money was given to me from Him for the good of people, therefore, the will of the Lord is that I, a sinner, atone for my sins, work for the good of people, the Fatherland and the Church, and for the glory of the Lord. Help me, weak and weak, to fulfill the will of the Lord and strengthen my deeds, so that I do not deceive anyone's hopes with my ruin. Amen.
It is intended to petition for the prosperity of affairs. It is very important to read it regularly in times of severe financial difficulties and problems at work.
Complementing these petitions are three prayers to the Incorporeal Orders, i.e. to the entire angelic host.

We magnify you, Archangels and Angels and the entire host, Cherubim and Seraphim, glorifying the Lord.
We magnify you, Archangels, Angels, Principles, Powers, Thrones, Dominions, Forces and Cherubim, and terrible Seraphim, glorifying the Lord.
This petition consists of three parts: troparion, kontakion and magnification, thus a person glorifies all the heavenly powers and asks them for help. You can complete the petition with words to the Archangel Michael:
Advice! Read these texts measuredly, without rushing. At the same time, it is not easy to treat them as magical words that will instantly solve all difficulties and problems, but as an appeal to the most powerful forces on earth.Oh, Lord God the Great, King without beginning, send, Lord, Your Archangel Michael to help Your servant (name), take me away from my enemies, visible and invisible!
Oh, Lord Archangel Michael, pour out the peace of blessings on your servant (name).
O Lord Michael the Archangel, destroyer of demons, forbid all enemies fighting with me, make them like sheep, and crush them like dust before the face of the wind.
Oh, the Great Michael the Archangel of the Lord, the six-winged first Prince and Voivode of the Heavenly Forces, Cherubim and Seraphim, help me in everything: in insults, sorrows, sorrows, in deserts, at crossroads, on rivers and on the seas, a quiet haven! Deliver me from all the charms of the devil, when you hear me, your sinful servant (name), praying to you and calling on your holy name, speed up my help, and hear my prayer.
Oh Great Archangel Michael! Conquer all that opposes me, by the power of the Holy and Life-Giving Cross of the Lord, by the prayers of the Most Holy Theotokos and the Holy Apostles, and St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, St. Andrew the Holy Fool and the Holy Prophet Elijah, and the Holy Great Martyrs Nikita and Eustathius, the Reverend Father and Holy Hierarchs and Martyr and all the Saints of Heaven Force. Amen.
Very often, after such petitions, a person remains in the same problems, but receives an answer, how and what he should change in himself, that the difficulties are over. After all, very often problems in life come for the internal change of a person. God purifies the human heart through difficulties.
