Kindly Notify the Adverse Powers | I am Crucified with Christ (Gal 2:20) | NIKA Fist | Orthodox Christian Cotton Canvas Tote Bag

O Lord and Master, Who created man in Thine own likeness, and bestowed upon him the power of life eternal; Who also despisest not those who have fallen away through sin, but providest salvation for the world through the incarnation of Thy Christ; Do Thou, the same Lord, delivering also this Thy creature from the bondage of the enemy, receive him (her) into Thy heavenly Kingdom. Open the eyes of his (her) understanding, that the illumination of Thy Gospel may shine brightly in him (her). Assign to his (her) life an Angel of light who shall deliver him (her) from every snare of the adversary, from encounter with evil, from the demon of the noonday, and from evil thoughts. 

Expel from him (her) every evil and unclean spirit which hides and makes its lair in his (her) heart. (3x)

He (she) who has clothed himself (herself) in Thee, O Christ our God, bows also his (her) head with us, unto Thee. Keep him (her) ever a warrior, invincible in every attack of those who assail him (her) and us; and make us all victors, even unto the end, through Thine incorruptible crown. For Thine it is to show mercy and to save us; and unto Thee do we ascribe glory, together with Thy Father Who is from everlasting, and Thine all-holy, and good, and life-creating Spirit, now and ever, and unto ages of ages.
