Angels arose much earlier than humanity. These are celestial beings. They have strong power, will and intelligence.
Michael is an iconic figure among the angels. According to ancient religious treatises, it was he who united all the winged servants of the Lord who remained on his side and fought against his own brother, Lucifer. This fallen angel led the rebels in the fight against the Creator. Of course, thanks to his power, the light defeated the dark side of evil. The name of this saint is mentioned in biblical sources, including the Old and New Testaments. His abilities are unique. He performed many miracles and good deeds. Therefore, all people need to remember him, he will help in difficult times.
Michael is the highest angel. According to church works, he is the Holy Archangel. Michael appears to people to convey to them the will of the Lord.
As the main heavenly warrior carrying the “light” of the will of God, the Holy Archangel is revered in the 3 most common religious teachings. But where his image came from is not known exactly. The name Michael itself was used already in the 8th century BC. e., and was common among the inhabitants who inhabited the mouths of the Euphrates and Tigris rivers.
Researchers studying the lives of saints hypothesize that the legends about the archangel come from ancient Persia, in which there was a division into two opposing sides, warriors of “Darkness” and “Light”.
The cult of Michael arose from folklore. Legends said that the archangel first appeared to people on three mountain peaks, where the ominous Scandinavian god, the one-eyed Odin, previously lived.
This is precisely what is associated with the day of remembrance of the Archangel - September 29th. This is a time of celebrations celebrating the fertility of the earth and the reaping of harvests.
Later, the German knights made Mikhail their patrons as a warrior of “Light”. From the 8th century they began to put his images on their battle banners. Such German banners were seen in battles with the Hungarians and other invaders invading German lands.
In many cases, the Archangel was mentioned as Siegfried, who defeated the bloodthirsty and ferocious dragon. Sacred biblical texts and occult books of that time also repeatedly mentioned this angel.
The biography of the Archangel is filled with bright and heroic events. Even Muslims revere him. Traditions and stories about Michael say that he, as the messenger of the Lord and the leader of all the forces of light, wages an irreconcilable struggle against the forces of darkness and universal evil, leading the Lord’s army. The enemy of the Archangel is the leader of demons, sorcerers and other evil spirits - Belial.
In Christianity and Islam, Michael occupies a prominent place. He is the messenger of the Lord, giving real grace and sincere kindness to the hearts of people. In addition, the Archangel commands the clouds. His mission is to zealously enforce the laws of God. The sacred books say that it is Michael who will be the intercessor of all believers who died a violent death at the coming Last Judgment.
In a large number of countries he is the main and most revered saint. His image is exalted by Christians, Jews and Muslims. He is the leader of the great Army of saints, created from archangels and angels. That is why Michael was given the high title of Archangel.
The prayers that are addressed to him give believers the protection of the main angel, who controls the 9 ranks of his brothers.
The name Michael has the meaning “who is like God,” identifying its owner with the Lord and endowing it with incredibly powerful spiritual energy and strength.
First of all, he is the patron saint of warriors, which means he helps everyone performing military service, people in one way or another connected with wars and disasters. You can pray to the holy archangel for the soldiers to return home unharmed, and also at a time when the state or your home is threatened by battle or war.
People very often turn to Archangel Michael, because he is able not only to overcome evil spirits, but also to protect them from troubles and misfortunes. Any, even very small, prayer uttered from the heart addressed to this angel will definitely be “considered,” because he hears each of them.
Michael is a reliable protector, and that is what people believe. He has the power to protect absolutely every Christian believer from evil and the ubiquitous negativity.
At the moment of turning to the archangel, a variety of requests may be heard:
- prayers for health and healing;
- related to everyday problems;
- for help during a long journey;
- coming from those in need of protection from misfortunes, troubles, etc.

A few words about angels and the angelic world
The Angelic World is a Great Spiritual World created by God, in which intelligent, good beings live. This world was created a long time ago and is inhabited by enlightened and very kind beings - angels. Angels is the common name for these creatures, which translated means “Messenger”. Messengers of the Will of God - this is their main purpose, but at the same time, each angel is a separate Person, endowed with his own will and freedom of choice.
For now we will only briefly touch on the structure of this amazing world, but in the following posts we will definitely take a closer look at it. Let me just mention that this world also has its own hierarchy. The lowest link in this wondrous world order is the one closest to us - the guardian angel, but the prefix “arch” indicates the most exalted service to God, compared to others. Archangels are higher than guardian angels and their main credo is our heavenly teachers, who show us how to do the right thing and strengthen people’s holy faith (Rev. 12:7). And the very first of them is the Archangel Michael. Archangel means “Commander-in-Chief”
How does Archangel Michael help?
Archangel Michael - leader of the Lord’s army, patron of warriors and protector from all evil
“Who is like God” is how the name Michael is translated from Hebrew. In Scripture, the Archangel Michael is shown to us as a “prince,” “leader of the army of the Lord.” According to St. Gregory the Great, the archangel Michael is sent to Earth whenever the miraculous power of the Lord is to appear.
On the icons, Saint Archangel Michael is mainly presented to us in military armor, with a sword or spear in his hand. The whole point is that it was Archangel Michael who first called on those angels who did not follow the example of the fallen to follow the path of fighting temptation. So He became the leader of the Lord’s Host and won the battle with Lucifer and the demons (as the fallen angels began to be called), “throwing them down into hell, into the depths of the underworld.” This confrontation between light and dark forces, this struggle between good and evil is still ongoing on earth and we are all also its active participants.
Archangel Michael is the Great Protector, the “Sword of the Lord” and God’s Intercessor. That is why Archangel Michael is considered the patron saint of warriors, the protector from all evil visible and invisible, from evil spirits and the protector of all Orthodox Christians.
In addition, Archangel Michael is considered the protector and patron of the Jewish people.
Archangel Michael – protector of the souls of the dead, protector of the sleeping
Also, Archangel Michael is considered the protector of the souls of the dead on their way to the Throne from the enemies of the Antichrist.
According to apocryphal sources
- It is Archangel Michael who accompanies the Virgin Mary through hell, explaining to Her the reasons for the torment of sinners (Walk of the Virgin Mary through torment).
- Jesus Christ after his descent into hell, namely Arch. Mikhail entrusts the souls of the righteous to accompany them to heaven.
- According to Greek legends, the Archangel Michael is present at the death of a person.
- According to the revelation of St. Pavel, architect. Michael washes the souls of the dead before entering Heavenly Jerusalem.
It is also believed that He sifts out sinners from the righteous, and also begs from God the souls of some sinners who did at least some good deeds during their lifetime (transfers them from the left side to the right (righteous)).
“Stop crying, O my chosen one Michael, O my good steward. Is it good for them... those who repented... to enter into all this torment? But for your sake, O my chosen one Michael, and for your tears that you shed because of them, I command you that you fulfill all your desires in relation to those on the left, and number them among those on my right.”
It is believed that the Archangel Michael is in charge of the “Great Book of Fates,” which contains all the human lives and sins of each of us.
St. Archangel Michael is given great importance in future events, namely when the end of the world comes, at the Last Judgment
“Holy Archangel Michael, protect us in the struggle, do not let us die at the Last Judgment”
Archangel Michael is also considered the protector of the sleeping person and a helper in sorrow.
Archangel Michael is a healer. They also pray to Archangel Michael during the consecration of the house.
This conclusion came to us from antiquity. The whole point is that in early Christianity it was believed that evil spirits are the source of all diseases, and the Archangel Michael is the winner over them, which means he also conquers diseases.
And yet, whatever one may say, there are many cases of healing through prayers to Archangel Michael. It is not for nothing that chapels in the name of the Archangel Michael were built at hospitals in the past, or they tried to build infirmaries next to St. Michael’s churches. There are cases of healing at holy springs at monasteries in honor of the Archangel Michael.
- They also pray to Archangel Michael when entering a new house and consecrating it.

Prayer to Archangel Michael for protection and help
Holy and great Archangel of God Michael, the inscrutable and all-essential Trinity, the first primate of the Angels, the guardian and guardian of the human race, crushing with his army the head of the proud Denis in heaven and putting to shame his malice and deceit on earth!

Illuminate our minds with the light of the Face of God, which shines on your lightning-like brow, so that we may understand that God’s will for us is good and perfect, and that we know all that it is fitting for us to do and that which we should despise and abandon.

Life situations require constant meetings with new people and old acquaintances. Unfortunately, not everyone around us wishes us well. Many people, and sometimes even relatives, envy us and say a lot of bad things about us in their hearts. Sometimes human anger goes beyond all boundaries and completely absorbs a person, giving rise to only one desire in him - to harm. A person takes upon himself a great sin and turns to witches and fortune-tellers to cause damage. In order to protect yourself and your family from harm, you need to be as close to God as possible and turn only to Heaven.
Prayer to Archangel Michael is a powerful daily weapon against misfortunes and bad words from ill-wishers. The powerful “wing” of the Archangel will protect the worshiper from damage and the evil eye. The Superangel is considered by Orthodox Christians to be one of the most powerful Celestials, the protector of the spirit and soul of all living things.
The Supreme (main) angel acts as the leader of the Lord's army and the archangel. It was under the leadership of Saint Michael that the army of God fought against the devil and demons. The majesty and power of the Archangel patronized the Jewish people in the difficult struggle against paganism. The events took place long before the birth of Christ.
The exploits of the archangel are innumerable. During the trek through the desert from Egypt, Archangel Michael showed the way to Moses and the Jewish people. At the fall of the walls of Jericho, it was this highest angel who appeared before Joshua. All the miracles that the angel performed are stored in the memory and history of the Orthodox Church. This and much more contributes to the fact that the icon of the Archangel provides strong protection to believers. Prayers that ascend to heaven in front of this holy image are able to protect people from any misfortune, evil eye and damage.
Prayer to Archangel Michael - very strong protection
The image of the supreme angel on the icon is visualized with a sharp, threatening sword in his hand. However, it is not aimed at people. The weapon cuts off people's fears and evil slander directed towards the person praying. A sharp sword gets rid of demons and always defeats evil forces. He helps those who ask and pray to his image to get rid of bad feelings. From overwhelming anger, envy and temptation. The Archangel is like a shield and protection for those who follow the laws of God.
A powerful prayer was written on the ruins of the Church of the Archangel Michael of the Miracle Monastery in the Kremlin, which was blown up during the October Revolution.
Lines must be proofread every day, throughout your life. Believers who pray with these words will be given protection from:
- Devil;
- ill-wishers (both strangers and blood relatives);
- witchcraft and unclean influences (evil eye, damage);
- temptations (envy, adultery, theft);
- robbers and thieves who have their eyes on your property;
- tragic incidents with you and your loved ones.
A prayer directed to an angel of this rank will help get rid of the soul from torment in hell. You can pray not only for your soul, but also for the souls of people close to you. For easier reading, write down the names of everyone for whom you wanted to ask a celestial being. Where "(name)" appears in the text, all names written must be listed.
You need to pray these words every day. On Michaelmas day at 24:00 (from 20th to 21st November) you can ask for all deceased relatives and friends. List all the names in the indicated place and add “and all the kinsmen according to the flesh of the tribe of Adam.”
O Lord Great God, King Without Beginning, send, O Lord, Thy Archangel Michael to the aid of Thy servant (name), take me away from my enemies, visible and invisible! O Lord Archangel Michael, pour out myrrh of moisture on your servant (name). O Lord Michael the Archangel, destroyer of demons! Forbid all enemies who fight against me, make them like sheep and crush them like dust before the wind.

Deliver, Michael Archangel, from all the charms of the devil, when you hear me, your sinful servant (name), praying to you and calling on your holy name, hasten to my help, and hear my prayer, O Great Archangel Michael! Lead all those who oppose me with the power of the honorable life-giving cross of the Lord, with the prayers of the Most Holy Theotokos and the Holy Apostles, and St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, St. Andrew the Fool and the Holy Prophet of God Elijah, and the Holy Great Martyr Nikita and Eustathius, the Reverend Father of all Saints and Martyr and all the holy heavenly powers. Amen.
Oh, Great Archangel Michael, help me, your sinful servant (name), deliver me from the coward, the flood, the fire, the sword and the flattering enemy, from the storm, from the invasion and from the evil one. Deliver me, your servant (name), great Archangel Michael, always, now and ever, and forever and ever. Amen.
How to pray to Archangel Michael
The image of Archangel Michael in the house and prayers in front of this icon are strong protection for every person and for the whole family. Archangel Michael helps people get rid of anxieties and fears, false fears, and temptations.
- Remember that prayer is not a “witchcraft conspiracy”; you turn to God and the Heavenly Powers with a request for help and you yourself must strive to follow God’s commandments. Then Archangel Michael with the angelic Forces will protect you according to your good will.
- Pray in front of the icon of Archangel Michael, appearing a church candle.
- Unfortunately, many modern people, accustomed to the “help” of psychics, believe that prayer is a talisman, “a guaranteed spell with magical powers.” Do not forget that prayer for protection from troubles is your personal appeal, as the saints said, “prayerful sighing” to the Lord, the Mother of God, the saints and the Heavenly Powers.
- It cannot be said that one saint is stronger than another, or that one prayer will help faster and be more effective than another. So, we turn to Archangel Michael so that he prays to the Almighty for us, sinners, as if people were threatening us with violence and we went to a familiar commander in the Armed Forces with a request to protect us. Or maybe we will ask the boss to intercede for us with the leadership and assign security to us - in the same way the Lord protects us through the prayers of the saints.
Pilgrimage to the icons of the saint
In every house of God you can turn to the highest celestial being. Images of the Heavenly Warrior will definitely be in any God's house. There are many temples and churches dedicated to the Archangel Michael in the country. You can pray to his holy image in any city.
Heavenly Angel's Strong Protection
Archangel Michael has military status and is the patron saint of all warriors. Prayers are offered to him for protection from enemies and for the life of soldiers on the campaign. When there is a threat of war, the people ask the archangel for help. When laying and building housing, people offer prayers to the supreme angel for protection from thieves, enemies and misfortunes.
In the Akathinian temple you can order a prayer service to the archangel, but you can turn to the celestial being at home. It is a mistake to believe that prayers at shrines are a guarantee of safety. In fact, prayer itself has no power. One cannot think that one angel is more powerful and hears requests better. Every prayer has great power. The person praying presents prayers to the saint, and the saint asks the Lord for him.
To help Michael from misfortunes, you need to pray:
“O Saint Michael the Archangel, have mercy on us sinners who demand your intercession, save us, servants of God (names), from all visible and invisible enemies, and moreover, strengthen us from mortal horror and from the embarrassment of the devil, and grant us the right to shamelessly present ourselves to our Creator at the hour His terrible and righteous Judgment. O all-holy, great Michael the Archangel! Do not despise us sinners who pray to you for help and your intercession in this world and in the future, but grant us there together with you to glorify the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen".
Who can ask for help
The Supreme Angel listens to the prayers of all people. Regardless of status and race. Even if you have never believed in God and the holy army, you can turn to him with a prayer.
They ask for Mikhail's protection:
- Wanderers or people before a long journey;
- people who are confused in life;
- people who are tormented by mental anguish and temptations;
- people who need strength in difficult situations.
When you don’t have the text of a prayer at hand, you can ask Michael for help in your own words, from your heart.
Prayer for protection from evil:
“Overshadow me with your grace, Archangel Michael, help me drive out the devilish power that cannot resist the light that descended from the heavens of Your star. I pray you to quench the arrows of evil with your breath. Holy Archangel Michael and all the Heavenly Powers, pray for me, who suffers and asks. May the Lord take away from me the destructive thoughts that haunt and torment me. Lord save me from despair, doubts in faith and bodily fatigue. Terrible and Great Guardian of the Lord, Archangel Michael, cut off with your fiery sword those who want to destroy me and wish harm to me. Stand guard over my house, protect everyone living in it and my property. Amen".
Who else will he turn to for patronage?
To understand which of the Christian saints he will turn to, you need to rely on the cause of concern.
People who have suffered from the intervention of demons, damage and the evil eye turn to Cyprian and Justinius. In order to protect the girl from dishonor, her loved ones and herself on the road and at work, she needs to pray to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker.
A person is accompanied in all his days by a guardian angel, so at any time you can turn to him for support.
Participation in church life will help you be closer to God. Come to the sacraments, confess and do not avoid other church sacraments. Only faith in the Lord will help you avoid the tricks of the evil one and other misfortunes. Be in sight of the Lord and your guardian angel so that they can come to your aid at any time. And you recognized their voice.
And may the Lord protect you!

Prayer to Archangel Michael for every day
Holy and great Archangel of God Michael, the inscrutable and all-essential Trinity, the first primate of the Angels, the guardian and guardian of the human race, crushing with his army the head of the proud Denis in heaven and putting to shame his malice and deceit on earth! We resort to you with faith and we pray to you with love: be an indestructible shield and a strong shield for the Holy Church and our Orthodox Fatherland, protecting them with your lightning sword from all enemies, visible and invisible. Do not, O Archangel of God, forsake us through your help and intercession, who today glorify your holy name: behold, even though we are many sinners, we do not want to perish in our iniquities, but to turn to the Lord and be quickened by Him to do good deeds . Illuminate our minds with the light of God’s face, which shines on your lightning-like brow, so that we can understand that God’s will for us is good and perfect, and that we know all that it is fitting for us to do and that which we should despise and abandon. Strengthen our weak will and weak will with the grace of the Lord, so that, having established ourselves in the law of the Lord, we will cease to be dominated by earthly thoughts and the lusts of the flesh, carried away in the likeness of senseless children by the soon-to-perish beauties of this world, as if for the sake of the corruptible and earthly it is foolish to forget the eternal and heavenly. For all of these, ask us from above for the spirit of true repentance, unfeigned sadness for God and contrition for our sins, so that we may spend the remaining number of days of our temporary life not in pleasing our feelings and working with our passions, but in erasing the evils we have committed with tears of faith and contrition of heart, deeds of purity and holy deeds of mercy. When the hour of our end approaches, liberation from the bonds of this mortal body, do not leave us. Archangel of God, defenseless against the spirits of wickedness in heaven, accustomed to block the souls of mankind from rising to heaven, yes, protected by you, we will reach those glorious villages of paradise without stumbling, where there is no sorrow, no sighing, but endless life, and, being honored to see the bright face of the All-Blessed Lord and Master ours, falling with tears at His feet, let us exclaim in joy and tenderness: glory to Thee, our dearest Redeemer, Who for Thy great love for us, unworthy, was pleased to send Thy angels to serve our salvation! Amen.
