Have you ever had to deal with complaints that the church is getting sick? Someone's back starts to hurt, someone is suffocating, and others are "suffocated" by the wearable cross.
Listen to all these stories - it becomes scary. But let's find out why some people get sick in church. What could be causing this?
As we live, so we pray
As we pray, so we live. Pretty well known saying. But why is it here? Yes, so that you and I remember: how often we pray and go to church. Once a year, at Easter. Dedicate Easter cakes. And sometimes at Baptism to collect holy water. And we run to put candles and submit notes. True, this rarely happens.
And then we ask ourselves: "Why is it getting bad for us in the church?" We are not used to being there, here are the impure forces that accompany us and do not allow us to fully enjoy communion with God. What kind of prayer is there when we can’t breathe in the temple.
Badduring service
Why do some people get sick during services in church? Are the demons to blame? No, it's the lack of oxygen that's to blame.
Imagine the situation: a man came to the temple. Sunday or holiday service, full of people. The room is stuffy and hot. Some have red faces from the heat. Candles are burning, the smell of wax on the whole temple. It would seem, what a beauty. Stop and pray. Yep, no matter how. Other comrades faint. And then they complain that "the pectoral cross began to choke."
The cross has nothing to do with it. There is not enough air, and candles burn the oxygen that is there. There are a lot of people, plus the heat. So the body can not stand it, especially out of habit.
Feet hurt
Why does the service in the church become ill? Legs are starting to wobble. The pain is such that it is impossible to stand. And you sit down on a bench, and then the grannies will start hissing. Like, young yet, why sat down.
Again, pain comes from those who are not accustomed to standing for a long time. Services in temples are quite long, it is hard for an unprepared person to stand. Legs start to numb. And if the shoes are uncomfortable, then at least shout "guard"
There is no mystical background in this. Tired legs - sit on a bench. Grandmothers swear - explain to them why you sat down. Are they fighting again? Just don't get involved. As they say, it is better to think about prayer while sitting than standing about your feet.
Backache
Why is it getting bad in the church, starting to hurt your lower back? From standing for a long time, as in the case of the legs. Back pain? Better sit downand relax her. Do not force the body. Otherwise, the desire to attend church may disappear altogether.
Left hand hurts
Have you experienced this phenomenon? The shoulder and arm begin to be taken away, namely the left ones.
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 possible way. And how to turn a newcomer 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 it will begin to prick under the shoulder blade. When you leave the temple, it was as if nothing had happened. It's worth going back - it starts.
How to be in this case? To not pay attention. The more often a person goes to church, the faster this phenomenon will pass.
Out of breath
Why is the church getting sick? The answers to this question are varied. Others believe that this is due to onions and okayas. Others look at such things more logically, relating them to the external environment.
For example, not everyone can stand the smell of incense. Especially cheap incense tends to smell not very good. The deacon passed with a censer, and the man's throat tickles and his breath catches. This will pass soon. Sit down - catch your breath.
And if the heart starts pounding in the service, the person suffocates, and the pulse rises to unimaginable heights? "It's demons, that's for sure!"
Calm down, it's a VSD. Vegetovascular dystonia. A person may not be aware of its presence. It happens that the heart beats strongly, pressure andthe pulse rises, before the eyes "flies" fly? It's exactly her. Demons have nothing to do with it.
The temperature is rising
Why does it get bad after church? It often happens that newcomers have a fever after communion. There is no need to be afraid of this. There may already be the intervention of certain forces. They do not want to give the human soul to God, so they are fighting in every way. Like, you took communion and got sick. Look, the temperature has risen. This is due to the fact that everyone takes communion from the same liar. He must have caught an infection.
Such thoughts begin to overwhelm a person. You shouldn't listen to them. It's the Lukas who are trying to sow confusion in the soul of the communicant so that he no longer goes to the temple and does not proceed to the sacraments.
Jitters before confession
A man complains to the priest that the church has become ill. What should be the priest's response to this? Especially when the action takes place in confession.
Imagine a person standing in line for confession. He is just starting to go to church, he doesn't know anything yet. I am firmly convinced that it is necessary to change life, to no longer make friends with sins. And repent of the perfect.
And then it throws him into the heat, then goosebumps run. Sweat breaks out on the forehead, it seems that the breath is not enough. Although the temple is quite cool and oxygen is all right.
What is this? Otherwise, this action cannot be called a temptation. The unclean forces are trying with all their might to lead the novice Christian out of the temple. So they begin to provoke him with incomprehensible attacks. Not worth itbe afraid, God will not allow the lukashki to offend the one who has just come to Him. You just need to ignore these physiological manifestations, and that's it.
Bad child
Why does a child get sick in church? They brought the baby to be baptized, and he screams so that his ears are pawned. Wriggles in the arms of the godfather / godmother, and when the priest takes it, it goes into a squeal.
What is the reason for this? If we are talking about an older kid, he just might get scared. Some kind of bearded alien uncle, mom is not around, the situation is new. The baby has a panic, so he cries from fear.
Does your child go to kindergarten or school already? And he became ill in the temple, in the service? Now few people teach children to attend the temple. Services are long, there are a lot of people, especially on Sundays and holidays. The closeness 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 to the temple to light a candle. There is no service, there is enough oxygen in the room. I bought candles, went to the candlestick, wanted to venerate the icon. And then, as it will darken in the eyes, as the heart will sting. And there is nothing to breathe. Sat down on a bench - does not let go. Somehow he lit a candle and ran outside. And everything went quickly there.
What was that? When asked why it is getting bad in the church, 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,I can assure you: they hardly get sick there. It happens, of course, that during the service, which is full of people, it gets worse. But here the environment plays a role, there is not enough air. And what about in an empty church, but in front of an icon? It doesn't happen.
We need to go to the temple more often, and then we will not feel bad at the candlesticks. And we can kiss the icons without incident.
I want to go to the temple, but sins are not allowed
Why is the church getting sick? For our sins. Someone will be indignant and say that this is a delusion of religious fanatics. For what kind of sins?
According to the usual. Those that have been accumulating in our souls for more than one year, or two. We do not repent of them, so they put pressure on the soul.
Imagine a plate. Ate from it, washed after eating. What happens if the plate is not washed at all? Put food in it, eat it and that's it? Soon we run the risk of finding worms in it, not to mention the smell and food residues on the walls and at the bottom.
So is sin. Have you sinned? Repent. Purify your soul. What are we? Sinned and forgotten. We continue to live in sin. And most importantly, it is so imperceptible in everyday life. What am I? I live well, like everyone else. He did not kill anyone, did not steal, did not cheat on his wife. I don't offend people.
Sins are not only in this. At least the fact that we condemn, chat on the phone for hours, gossip is already a sin. And such seemingly very small specks turn into mountains of sand. The soul is just buried under this sand.
When a person enters the temple, his soul begins to tremble. But then the evil ones wake up. Like, where are you drawn to? So many years in ourlived in the company, we have already looked after your darling. And you decided to go to God. Well, no, dear comrade, we will not allow this.
And they begin to plot all sorts of intrigues. Then the woman behind the candle box will make a remark, and we will be offended. The candle doesn't want to light up. You won't like the smell in the temple. Already not happy that we stopped by.
The evil ones are trying to persecute us. And we obey willingly. Run-run from the temple, next time we’d better not go, since it’s getting so bad for us there.
Why doesn't God protect
It would seem that a man came to God. And then such attacks on him. Why doesn't the Creator 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 some kind of indifference appears. Until the child asks for forgiveness, one does not want to help him, to 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 daily crucifies Him? What does crucify mean? With our sins, we drive nails into the hands and feet of the Savior again and again. Let's crucify Him on the cross. One day He did this voluntarily, shedding His Blood for us. But we are not enough, apparently.
How to be then? Does God 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 you don't have to complain and askpriests, why in the church it becomes bad for us. Since we serve Satan, we reap the "fruits" of our service.
Repentance in brief
What is this? This is sorrow for one's sins, the desire to get rid of them, to reconsider one's life.
A person who wants to repent must understand that if he comes to confession, tells the priest everything honestly, receives forgiveness and goes to sin again, there will be no point in such repentance. Would you like to bring repentance? I must desire with all my heart to change my own life. Hate sin, stop committing it.
Confessed? Don't commit the sin you repented of again.
Conclusion
In the article we talked about why a person becomes ill in church. The reasons for this may lie both in the environment and in the spiritual state of a person. If he regularly goes to the temple and begins the sacraments, and at the service in a crowded room his head is spinning - this is one thing. But if it becomes bad in an empty church, when a person went there to light a candle, this is an occasion to think about your life.
