Who is Archangel Michael?

Archangel Michael is the captain of the Lord's house, and the Prince of the Heavenly Host. Michael means "Who is like the Lord ?". He is a captain of other archangels and angels.

When Lucifer and other rebellious angels disobeyed God's rules, Michael cast down Lucifer and his followers. They were brothers and sisters since the beginning of creation. They lived in the same place and had the same Father. It was painful when they fought each other in the same family. However, Michael does what is right. He obeys God and protects Heaven.

As a chief angel of the heavens, he is well-known throughout the Bible and other religious texts, protecting and working as an advocate for individuals and nations of people. Michael is a warrior angel, helping in battles both in the Old and New Testament. His strong presence is why he is often called upon to help with personal and real battles in our modern world.

What does Archangel Michael Help With?

Since Michael is a protector, he provides protection, strength, power, and courage. If you are afraid or feel weak about something or struggle with your confidence levels, then the Archangel Michael is the one you can call upon to assist you.

Michael can help clear out all of the negative energies in your working and living spaces. He can remove any of the negative energies around in your life, giving you more chance to live a happy and fulfilled life. When you ask Archangel Michael for help, you must be open to receive it and listen to the guidance he gives you.

Protection Prayer

Michael is an archangel of protection, and the colors associated with him are red, silver and blue. When you pray to Michael, say these words and he will offer you protection.

"Michael to the right of me

Michael to the left of me

Michael above me

Michael below me

Michael within me

Michael all around me

Michael, with your flaming sword

of cobalt blue, please protect me"

You can think of a cobalt blue flame around you in a circle. After the prayer, you can say something specific like this "Please protect me from...."or "Please protect....". Give Him a name or something specific. This makes your prayer stronger and more accurate.

You have to believe and have faith in Michael. Practice this prayer a few times a day, a few months and continue. You'll see the results.

He is the one to call on when you need protection from accidents, crime, bad people, or evil of any kind, including any evil entities.

Ask Michael and he will protect you. He is very strong and is God’s best known warrior. You can also tell him about the problems you’re having. Ask him for help or show you the way to achieve what you want.

Exorcism Ritual

For exorcism ritual, Pope Leo XIII use this prayer to call Michael to remove demons from a human body.

"Saint Michael the archangel, defend us in battle

Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil

May God rebuke him, we humbly pray

And do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God

Thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits who wander through the world for the ruin of souls

Amen"
