✨ Many people today have intense demonic energies.

With such people, you cannot keep company. You love them, but from a distance. Pay attention to this.

✨ Let me tell you one demonic energy: carnal passions. They are a demonic energy.

✨ “Young people live together,” they say. “All young people do this nowadays.”

What does that mean? It is a demonic energy. It is the spirit of fornication that has prevailed today among the youth.

✨ And not only the spirit of simple fornication, but the spirit of perverted fornication. Every kind of perversion is now considered something lawful. Whatever is most disgusting is considered legitimate.

✨ Can you keep company with such people? You cannot. Why? Because quite simply, there is a great danger that you too will be influenced by their demons, by the evil spirits.

✨ Just as if you are constantly near someone who has tuberculosis, breathing the same air, soon you too will be infected. The same happens in spiritual matters.

✨ Saint Porphyrios used to say that there are demonic spiritual microbes that jump from one person to another.

That is why he also said: do not let just anyone hold your babies in their arms.

✨ A relative comes, let us say, from Larissa, who practices witchcraft, and you give her your baby. You should not give her the baby to hold, because this close contact transmits the spiritual microbes that she has to the baby. Do you understand? And the baby becomes ill even from a kiss.

✨ Do you know what contemporary Elders say? I will say it a bit bluntly now, forgive me. Perverted carnal passions have prevailed within families. You understand what I mean; I will not say more…

✨ So, this woman who kisses her child transmits the same thing to it. Do you know this? She commits disgraceful acts with her husband… and her baby becomes ill as well, with the same passions. This is what happens. Do you understand?

✨ These mothers are criminals. They harm their own soul and then the soul of the child they give birth to and raise. And later they say, “the child has homosexual tendencies”…

✨ What will it have? That is what it will have. These things are said by contemporary Elders; I am not saying them myself.

✨
