Have you come across complaints that the church is getting worse? Someone's back starts to hurt, someone suffocates, while others cross the "strangles" underwear.
If you listen to all these stories, it becomes scary. But let's find out why some people get sick at church. With what it can be connected?
As we live, we pray
As we pray, we live. Pretty famous saying. But why is it here? And besides, so that we recall: how often we pray and go to the temple. Once a year, on Easter. Kulichiki dedicate. And at Baptism sometimes, to draw holy water. And we also run in to put candles and file notes. True, this is very rare.
And then we ask ourselves the question: “Why does the church feel bad for us?” We are not used to being there, here are the unclean forces that accompany us and do not allow us to fully enjoy fellowship with God. What a prayer, when we cannot breathe in the temple.
Bad during service
Why does some church get sick during service? Are demons to blame? No, this lack of oxygen is to blame.
Imagine the situation: a man came to the temple. Sunday or holiday service, full of people. The room is stuffy, hot. Some have red faces from the heat. Candles burn, the smell of wax throughout the temple. It would seem, what a beauty. Wait and pray. Yeah, no matter how. Other comrades fainting. And then they complain that "the cross began to strangle".
The cross has nothing to do with it. There is not enough air, and the candles that burn are the oxygen that is. There are a lot of people, plus heat. So the body does not withstand, especially from habit.
Legs hurt
Why is being ill at church? Feet start to buzz. The pain is such that it is impossible to stand. And you’ll sit down on a bench, and grannies will begin to boo. Like, young still, what sat down.
Again, pain appears in those who are not used to standing for a long time. The services in the temples are quite lengthy, it is difficult for an untrained person to withstand. Feet begin to numb. And if the shoes are also uncomfortable, then at least "guard" scream.
There is no mystical background in this. Tired legs - sit on a small bench. Grandmothers swear - explain to them why they crouched. Swearing again? Just don't mess. As they say, it’s better to think about prayer while sitting than standing - about legs.
Back ache
Why is the church getting sick, starting to sore back? From long standing, as is the case with the legs. Is your back hurt? Better sit down and relax her. Do not force the body. Otherwise, the desire to attend church may disappear altogether.
Left arm hurts
Faced this phenomenon? The shoulder and arm begin to be taken away, namely the left.
Let's remember who lives on our left shoulder. We will not mention him here, but the antagonist of the angel does not sleep. He really does not want a person to go to God, so he begins to annoy in every way. But how can a novice turn away from the church? It is not supposed to frighten him as the "old-timer" of the temple. It is played on the left hand and on the shoulder. And then under the shoulder blade, he will begin to prick. You’ll come out of the temple, nothing seemed to happen. Once you go in again, it begins.
How to be in this case? To not pay attention. The more often a person goes to church, the faster this phenomenon will pass.
Not enough breath
Why is church getting sick? The answers to this question are varied. Others believe that this is due to bows and okayasami. Others look at such things more logically, linking them with the external environment.
For example, not everyone tolerates the smell of incense. Especially cheap incense tends to smell not very good. The deacon passed with a censer, and a person has throat perspiration and breathlessness. It will pass soon. Sit down - catch your breath.
And if in the service the heart begins to beat furiously, a person suffocates, and the pulse rises to unimaginable heights? "These are demons, definitely!"
Calm down, it's the IRR. Vegetovascular dystonia. A person may not know about its presence. It happens that the heart beats strongly, the pressure and pulse rise, before the eyes of the "fly" fly? This is exactly her. Demons have nothing to do with it.
The temperature rises
Why does it get bad after church? It often happens that beginners get a fever after the sacrament. Do not be afraid of this. There may already be an intervention of certain forces. They do not want to give the human soul to God, and here they are fighting in all ways. Like, you communed and fell ill. Look, the temperature has risen. This is due to the fact that everyone from one liar takes communion. Surely caught an infection.
Such thoughts begin to overwhelm a person. Do not listen to them. It’s the onions who try to sow confusion in the soul of the participant, so that he no longer goes to the temple and doesn’t start the sacraments.
Mandrake before confession
A man complains to the priest that the church has become ill. What should the priest answer about this? Especially when the action takes place in confession.
Imagine a person standing in line for confession. He is just starting to go to the temple, he still does not know anything. I am firmly convinced that life must be changed, friendship with sins should not be made anymore. And perfect repent.
And then it throws him into the heat, then goosebumps run. Sweat appears on the forehead, it seems that there is not enough breathing. Although the temple is quite cool and with oxygen, everything is in order.
What it is? This action cannot be called otherwise than a temptation. Unclean forces try their best to bring the original Christian out of the temple. So they begin to provoke him with incomprehensible attacks. Do not be afraid, God will not let the little insults offend someone who has just come to Him. You just need to ignore these physiological manifestations, and that’s it.
Bad baby
Why is a child feeling ill at church? They brought the baby to be baptized, and he screams so that his ears are laying. It wriggles in the arms of the godfather / godmother, and when the priest takes it, it switches to a squeal.
What is the reason for this? If we are talking about an older kid, he just might be scared. Some bearded alien uncle, my mother is not around, the situation is new. The baby has panic, so he cries with fear.
Does the child already go to kindergarten or school? And he became ill in the temple, in the service? Now few teach children to attend the temple. The services are long, there are many people, especially on Sundays and holidays. Stuff played a role, the smell of incense and burning candles. The reasons are physiological in nature, as a rule.
Bad in an empty temple
A man went into the temple to put a candle. There is no service, there is enough oxygen in the room. I bought candles, went to the candlestick, wanted to kiss the icon. And then it will turn dark in my eyes, as my heart will slam. And there is nothing to breathe. He sat down on a little bench - he did not let go. Somehow I put a candle and ran into the street. And there everything went quickly.
What was it? When asked why the church is getting sick, the answers of the priests are almost the same: because we are not parishioners, as it should be, but parishioners. If you look at those who regularly go to the temple, you can be assured: they hardly feel bad there. It happens, of course, that during the service, which is full of people, it will flop. But here the environment plays a role, there is not enough air. And so that in an empty temple, but in front of the icon? There is no such thing.
We need to go to the temple more often, and then we will not feel bad with the candlesticks. And we can follow the icons without incident.
I want to go to the temple, but sins are not allowed
Why is church getting sick? According to our sins. Someone will be outraged and say that this is a fallacy of religious fanatics. What are such sins?
According to the usual. Those that have accumulated in our hearts for more than one year, and not two. We do not repent of them, and so they press on the soul.
Imagine a plate. They ate from it, washed after eating. What will happen if the plate is not washed at all? Put food in it, eat it all? Soon we risk finding worms in it, not to mention the smell and food debris on the walls and at the bottom.
So is sin. Have sinned? Repent. Cleanse the soul. What are we? Sinned and forgotten. We continue to live in sin. And most importantly, it is so inconspicuous in everyday life. Why am I? I live well, like everyone else. He didn’t kill anyone, he didn’t steal, he didn’t change his wife. I do not offend people.
Sins are not the only thing. At least what we condemn, chatting on the phone for hours, gossiping is already a sin. And such seemingly very small specks turn into mountains of sand. The soul is simply buried under this sand.
When a person enters the temple, his soul begins to tremble. But then the crafty ones wake up. Like, where did you get pulled? He lived in our company for so many years, we have already looked at your darling. And you decided to go to God. Well, no, dear comrade, we will not allow this.
And they begin to plot everyones. That woman behind a candlebox will make a remark, and we will be offended. That candle does not want to light. That smell in the temple will not like. Already not happy that we went.
This is crafty trying, chasing us. And we obey with pleasure. Run-run from the temple, the next time we better not go, since there it becomes so bad for us.
Why does not God protect
It would seem that man has come to God. And then there are such attacks on him. Why does the Creator not protect His creation?
When we are constantly offended by our own children and do not even want to apologize, the attitude towards them changes. They hardly stop loving, but there is some kind of indifference or something. Until the child asks for forgiveness, I do not want to help him, do something for a small and ungrateful creature.
God cannot be offended. He is Love. But why should He accept with open arms the one who crucifies Him every day? What does it mean to crucify? With our sins, we again and again hammer nails into the hands and feet of the Savior. Crucify Him on the cross. One day He went to it voluntarily, shedding His Blood for us. But it’s not enough for us, apparently.
How to be then? God does not want to accept us? Will accept when we bring sincere repentance. As a loving Father, he will forgive everything.
And if there is no desire to repent? We do not see our sins, we believe that we do not have them. Then there is no need to complain and ask the priests why in the church it becomes bad for us. Once we serve Satan, then we reap the “fruits” of our ministry.
Briefly about repentance
What it is? It is sorrow for their sins, the desire to get rid of them, to reconsider their lives.
A person who wants to repent must understand that if he comes to confession, he will honestly tell the priest, receive forgiveness and go to sin again, there will be no sense in such repentance. Would you like to bring remorse? Must wholeheartedly wish for changes in his own life. Hate sin, stop committing it.
Confessed? Do not commit the sin you repented of anymore.
Conclusion
In the article, we talked about why a person becomes ill in the church. The reasons for this can be found both in the environment and in the spiritual state of a person. If he regularly goes to the temple and proceeds to the sacraments, and when serving in a crowded room, his head becomes dizzy - this is one thing. But if it becomes bad in an empty temple, when a person went there to put a candle, this is an occasion to reflect on his life.
