St Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle...
🧘Mental/Physical Health 🏋🏼♂️
Saint Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle; be our defense 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 Divine power of God, cast into hell Satan and all other evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
St. Michael, place your Shield of Truth over the heart of this nation. By the power of God, design circumstances which will reveal the evil in every heart. Make our nation secure once again through sound leadership and justified enforcement of law. Amen.
Lord, may truth and righteousness be victorious.

Amen.
When God wants satan and his angels cast down to hell all He need do is say the word, they cannot disobey!
Q only said 'Amen Brother' a member of the Q team - I recall 10 - may well be catholic and indulge in such prayers. Doesn't make it right!
You pray to God in Jesus Name - not an angel! For goodness sake read your Bible -
can you give examples/where it says that? curious as Q posted several references to Archangel Michael, and I've seen a couple examples at regional sites/referencing Michael killing snakes...perhaps they're Catholic. the natives/mound builders used snake symbolism too & President Trump often reads the snake poem.
Every single time a person in the Bible bows down to an angel, said angel immediately rebuffs the gesture and urges the person to worship God alone. Angels are servants of God just as Christians are.
Q referencing archangels does not mean that we should pray to them. It's just symbolism and comms.
This is wrong, it depends on what the bow is for. Angels rebuked people who worshipped them, not because people bowed to them
We see people in the Bible bowing to and prostrating to people/Angels/things all the time
2 Samuel 1:2
Genesis 42:6
1 Samuel 24:8
Genesis 19:1
I can go on and on.
One mediator between God and man, not one mediator between the Saints and Angrls and man. This verse has nothing to do with intercessory prayer. Paul says the Saints and Angels surround us in a "great cloud of witnesses".
Hebrews 12:1
thanks/that could be, I saved all the prayers Q posted, will have to go back and read them in context.
also wondering about the verses below; have a connection to Kennedys/which are referenced often by Q- notice the Lord will have the voice of an 'archangel' and the 'trump' of God...
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
King James Version
13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
In the old Testament "the angel of God " is a reference to Jesus. This is a great place to start for understanding https://study.bible/courseinfo/22
There isn't anywhere where this is said.
We don't pray to Angels and Saints the same way we pray to God. We ask the Saints and Angels for their intercessions, meaning we ask for them to pray for us. We don't pray to them as if they can answer our prayers, only God can. Rather we ask them for their intercessions because their prayers are powerful.
James 5:16
1 Timothy 2:1
Hebrews 12:1
Why would you want a dead person to be a mediator for you? Pray to Jesus, he is alive.
Are you saying those in heaven are dead?
So now you pray to Jesus? I thought you prayed to God in Jesus’ name?
Gee. It’s almost like the Bible isn’t as cut and dry as many of you claim it is, and we need the Holt Spirit to teach us the truth of the scriptures no matter what they say.
They aren't dead, they're alive to God.
Hebrews 12:22-23
Hebrews 12:1
Luke 20:38
Funny cause St Michael was the one who led the charge against Satan and his traitors.
Weird how God could have done something about that but instead let the fight happen...almost like...he lets his servants...serve?
How are we going to defeat the evil one when we still squabble amongst ourselves?
We are not going to defeat the evil one. That is the job of Jesus.
Well we're supposed to be doing our best to help aren't we?
Pointing out the evil amongst our own ranks is doing my part. Praying to saints and angels is blasphemous and evil. we are taught in the Bible that idolatry is wrong. We are also taught how to pray, and that is directly to God through Jesus. No one and no thing comes between that. In other words, this is not a petty squabble.
Nowhere does Scripture condemn asking for the intercessions of Saints and Angels. We ask them to pray for us, if Paul says to pray for one another on Earth, how much more the Angels and Saints in Heaven?
There is clear evidence in archeology of early Christians asking for the prayers of Angels and Saints, and clear Scriptural support for the practice.
I have yet to see any scriptural support. The whole point of salvation was that we could now go to God directly. God sacrificed his only son so that we could have salvation. The Bible tells me i can come to him in prayer. God says he will hear my prayers. There is nothing that you can't bring to God in prayer so why would you possibly take it anybody else? I can accept that this is maybe not blasphemy but at the very least this is disrespectful. God sacrificed his son so that you could come directly to him and not be dependent upon a priest.
When we pray to the Saints and Angels, it's not like pagan praying to our ancestors where we think they can grant things to us.
Think of it like this, let's say you ask a friend or relative to pray for you, nothing wrong with that right? We do the same with Saints and Angels. We speak to them as if they're right infront of us, because they are. (Hebrews 12:1) We ask them to pray to God for us, just as we ask our friends or relatives to pray for us. We do this because their prayers are powerful. (James 5:16)
It’s also Satan desire that we worship and magnify not God.
Faith without works is dead. Maybe if Saul hadn’t bewitched all of Christendom with Jesus-based idolatry and the Christians took some personal responsibility to exercise faith and good works in the face of evil, the world could have been saved from these Satanists a long time ago.
First we don't defeat the evil one Christ will do that. If we want to take God seriously we have to follow His teaching. Jesus said Pray to your Father in heaven, not to an angel in heaven.
Jesus doesn't ask you even to pray to Him but God the Father, who did Jesus pray to? God the Father.
The only angels in heaven seeking your prayers and oblation are those who have left God for Satan.
Fake Christians are not ourselves, they are as much the enemy as atheist are, maybe even worse.
You're talking about a ton of your fellow Patriots here.
As a deist, fuck that guy. My belief in god doesn’t depend on a book written by man, yet alone one with 100s of variations and 1000s of revisions.
I hope that GOD reaches out to you and shows you the errors of your ways and helps redeem you from the path to HELL that you are currently on. May he bless you and change your false beliefs.
I don’t need religion, I have spirituality. You want evidence of god? Look outside.
You will burn in hell for all eternity unless you come before the one true GOD. I will pray for your sinners soul and hope that you come to welcome GOD into your heart. I am sure you are not an evil man, and I know my prayers will be heard so that your mind is turned into one of GOD'S children.
So? Regardless of their numbers or their patriotism to this country. Blasphemy is blasphemy.
AMEN! GOD will show us the way and only GOD. Blasphemy needs to be brought back as a crime, this country has lost its way and it is only recoverable by following the one true GOD and no one else.
Lol and who will be the arbiters of what is and isn’t blasphemy?
The Pharisees rise again.
Christian Sharia law is gonna be AWESOME 🙄
GOD will and only GOD. You are going to burn in a pit of fire for your blasphemy your day is coming.
God knows our heart fren. While I don't pray to angels I also try not to condem those that say heart felt prayers like this. Jesus knows where our heart truly lies. He will judge. Love u fren. God bless
Amen.
AMEN
I really like St. Michael slaying the dragon. Here in England you see the image all over the place like old churches have it carved into the stonework. St. Michael is often thought to be a Christian motif but in fact he is a feature of all major religions. He lends his name to places as well such as St. Michael's Mount, Mont-Saint-Michel, the city of Arkhangelsk, Russia, and numerous others.
I have a feeling there is a deep meaning behind slaying the dragon but wish I knew what it was.
Not sure about American English but in English English we stopped saying thee and thou many years ago. When I was a kid I remember some older people used that style but it has long died out now, except maybe you'd still hear it in rural parts of Yorkshire.
There is a story of the archangel michael fighting a dragon and casting it from heaven in Rev 12
Putin has a flag with a white night slaying a dragon and his white horse stomping on it, when he is making a speech
I know, that is why I bought a flag just like it. I support dragon slayers !
Could be St. George too... he's always shown slaying a dragon.
thanks for the detail/lets me know they're out there; even in midwest. have just started noticing some Archangel Michael statues, etc. interesting & will be definitely looking for more.
In Jesus name. Jehovah Sabbaoth.
I pray to my guardian angel every morning and to all the angels who protect us and fight for us every day. It doesn't mean I worship them or consider them to be God or Jesus. They worship our Lord the same way we do. I think everyone who prays to the angels and saints understands the difference. Some of you just want to squabble and feel superior in your understanding.
That being said, amen to this prayer. And thank you, Archangel Michael and all the angels on our side as the storm comes upon the world.
My favorite prayer before going on a mission...Thank you for it!!!!!!
God Bless...
Trump just left Trump Tower at 1:09 PM, matching Q drop 109, which is a prayer to St. Michael the Archangel!

Amen Fren!!
Amen!
there's a longer prayer to st michael that exists
related: https://infogalactic.com/info/Prayer_to_Saint_Michael
the catholic exorcism rite also seems like an even longer version in a way (I believe even laymen can say in privately, although I'm not sure about the specifics)
I’m not a Catholic, but it’s cracking me up how many protestant evangelicals have a problem with Catholics asking angels and dead people to pray for them when they themselves ask living people to pray for them all the time. Like literally all the time. There are prayer requests on this board daily and those same posters crying about Christ being the only intermediary for prayer jump all over it like ants on maple syrup.
I literally just had a doozy of a conversation with one yesterday who not only refused to believe his Bible had fewer books in it than other versions, but also argued that such a thing would be impossible as the Bible he read was in fact God himself. I told him that was ridiculous and he screamed about me attacking him personally for his beliefs. I don’t know how to help someone who not only is so ignorant of history and reality, but refuses to even look when someone says “It’s literally right here.” The fear of being wrong and having the entire house of cards their faith is based is too great to even bother talking with them.
Remember when Martin Luther removed Revelations from the Bible? Good times.

Thank you. No matter your specific beliefs around God and the creation of this earth- I support all messages of love, hope, perseverance and compassion ❤ 💙 ♥ 💕 💜 💖
Very sad to see so many posts squabbling about details. Well wishes and love are energetic waves of high frequency and vibration which transcend our limited language. God bless you, frens.
In JESUS's name; AMEN.
1Timothy 2:5 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ.
Sorry but I liken this to asking the kings guard to protect you when your brother is the king. I go to the thrown for my request.
When Daniel recieved the angel he said he was held up by the prince of Persia and GOD dispatched Michael for support. Yes Michael is powerful, but God sends him.
WOW. Angel worship. Are you sure you don't want to make this more blasphemous? Maybe you could pray to Trump. How about GTFO with this satanic BS.
Satanic? Wow.
Do you really think Satan would approve of Satanists praying to the being who cast him out of heaven?
I believe Satan would approve of anything that muddy's the waters between God's children and God. So yes, if Satan can lead some of God's children away he wins.
Nothing in the scriptures tells me I need to pray to angels and saints. And the scriptures do give examples of proper prayer.
The accuser would be in favor of your accusing God's children of practicing Satanism. Their hearts mean no harm.
Show me in the scriptures where it says to pray to angels and saints and then I will recant my statement. Bonus points for any commentary on idolatry. Otherwise, if you see a brother or sister straying from the path of righteousness, it is your duty as a Christian to try to correct that behavior.
In Revelation, John has a vision into Heaven and sees the Angels and Saints praying for the people on Earth, and offering our prayers to God.
Revelation 8:3-4
Revelation 5:8
St. Paul in Hebrews writes that we're surrounded by a "great cloud of witnesses."
Hebrews 12:1
St. Paul also tells us to make prayers for one another. If we are to pray for each other here on earth, how much more the Saints and Angels in heaven?
Thank you for this reply. And I accept that the saints have a part to play here, but nowhere in the verses you provided, does it say the saints bring our prayers to God.
Revelation 6:9-11, John describes a vision where he sees the martyrs crying out to God, praying for those on earth.
Revelation 5:8 and 8:4, the incense represents the prayers of us on earth, being brought up to God by an angel.
The visions which John sees in this part of Revelation shows how the Saints and Angels offering our prayers and their own prayers to God is part of the Heavenly liturgical worship.
Show me in the scripture where it says scripture is the only basis for Christianity? Oh wait, you can't. Because it doesn't. In fact, the Catholic Church canonized the very Bible you try to to claim contradicts it. This American protestant stuff gets so boring after a while.
We ask Michael as well as all the saints to intercede on our behalf with the Son of God.
We petition theen to be our allies in heaven against the forces of evil here on Earth.
They are all Gid"s chosen ones.
.
Really? For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. 1 Timothy 2:5
Do you not ask other to pray for you? Are you not using others to interede on your behalf?
It’s not Angel Worship. Quite sick of the anti-Catholic crap I see here. Your Bible you people claim to say is the only thing you need was made by Catholics. You do realize God uses all instruments in his arsenal? St Michael is to God what Baal and Lilith are to Satan. They’re powerful. But God is the ultimate power. St Michael can’t act without Gods authority but asking him to protect you isn’t worship, it’s asking him to ask God to intercede on your behalf. Do you not pray for others? Maybe you should stop doing that too. SMH
Perhaps those not catholic are 'quite sick of the pro-catholic crap we see here.'
ASK Michael to intercede?????? For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. 1 Timothy 2:5 Condemned by your own words!
Regarding 'Do you not pray for others?' the operative in your words is FOR not TO.
I was going to respond but your obvious hatred toward my faith is not from God. Pray my friend, your anger toward this prayer is sparked by something you need to address within yourself. You indeed have a spiritual battle waging inside of you.
So you don't like your own words coming back at you. Perhaps before you insult others in the future you will consider.
My desire is to drag you back from the deceit you have fallen into by showing you the truth, I recognise you find that painful but it's the only way, you need to experience the truth.
Like the whole of what is going on until people experience they will not change
Suggest you read from the start of turtles posting - and yes until you face the lie being spoken then the lie will continue.
Arrogant for quoting the scripture I think not, arrogant for pointing out the truth that there is only one mediator between man and God - Jesus Christ. Not an Angel.
No anger nor self righteousness is pointing out serious error!
Correct. Canceled to errant downvote.
I do not care what Protestants post other than calling my faith Satanic. St Michael is far from Satanic.
As far as I know, the Bible does not ask me to pray to an angel or a saint. Praying for someone is not the same as praying too someone. False equivalency.
Speaking of false equivalencies, are prayer and worship the same?
Prayer is a form of worship so...
Is it? What is worship? What is prayer? Can one pray without worshipping?
Not really. Someone asks you to pray for them? No different. Just because angels are in the spiritual realm, doesn’t mean they can’t hear you. Asking an Angel or other superior being in Heaven to ask God to do you a favor is exactly the same as a fellow human asking you to pray to God for them. Except better since they’re favored by God and don’t offend Him constantly like humans do. Satan and his demons surely hear you. They influence you daily.
"Saint Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle..."is how that prayer starts. Not. Saint Michael, ask God to defend us in battle. This is a prayer too Saint Michael, and nothing in the scripture leads me to believe that I need anyone other than Jesus Christ to intercede on my behalf.
St Michael can’t do anything without God’s permission. So asking him to defend you in battle is just still asking God to send St Michael into battle for you.
God gave his only son in sacrifice to us so that we could have salvation through him. It is through Christ that we come to God. Christ is the only thing between you and God. There is no priest, no saint, or angel between you and God. That is the gift of salvation. Why would you put anything between you and God?
It certainly isn't the same thing,
