We welcome Cypriot Father Damaskinos, he is a monk and missionary in Africa, we welcome you and we would like to hear from you some of your experiences in Africa. Thank you first of all I would like to thank God for giving me the opportunity to be here in Cyprus, the land of holy people. The relationship with the people there WHEN IT COMES TO POVERTY IS DESTROYING. There is no love between people. ONCE I ASKED SOMEONE, who had a piece of a little wooden man, I asked him why you had that on you? He replied...I use it to protect myself and my family. From other people's magic... he puts all his faith in this little piece of wooden man. down there when we baptize people, we explain to them to take this magical thing off of them. One of them wasn't convinced to take it off. No matter how much we tried to put him in the water to baptize him an ability to get in the water, an invisible demonic force pushed him out. eventually, he was baptized, but he wasn't really. when he was in the church to be sanctified for communion...he felt down having convulsions-epilepsy. we explained the reasons..but he didn't want to listen and died without confessing the truth. One day I was with a priest down there and we saw a naked girl. The priest tells me that this girl is a sorcerer, she came from another village far away. I ask... how did she come here from so far away? I ask? You don't know, the priest says. She came flying through the air. To do so, he grabbed a small child, tore out his heart, and drank the blood. That's how the devils keep the magicians in the air and they fly. Once Father James was down there in Africa and he asked a sorcerer. How do you hurt people? look the magician says I touch them and cause them trouble, do the same to me Father Jacob says to the magician. the magician replied I can't touch you...you the orthodox priest are full of fire. another time a demon-possessed man went to a catholic priest to get the demon out of him. And the demon inside the man says to the Catholic priest. you hey cappuccino you think I can listen to you? this we see that Catholics have no grace at all. now I will tell you another story 3 former magicians went and got baptized without confessing their sins first. the devils told them. we don't care what you did but don't mention it to Father Meletius. these 3 men before they were baptized had killed a woman with 2 children. someone thought they saw this and found some others and they went to kill this former magician. now this former magician made a deal with the devils, in case someone kills me I want you to reveal to my family those who will kill me. They took him to bury him. An invisible force prevented the coffin from being buried. The coffin was taken by the men holding it in another direction, They were going to the house of the people who had killed the former wizard to reveal who killed him. At the funeral, everyone was scared. They didn't know what to do. The dead man started breathing through the coffin and the son of the dead man started talking to his father believing his father was alive but he wasn't really. after he revealed the killers and everyone was scared his son came to me asking for help. I got another priest to bury him. everyone who was there was really scared, and all of them believed after seeing what we did, and how we prayed in the orthodox way for the man to be laid to rest and buried. They were very scared and believed that we had more demonic powers than they did
