4 Simple Ways to Keep Evil Away

Exorcists teach that casting out evil is not enough—one must live a holy life to keep it from returning (cf. Mt. 12:43–45). Here are four key practices to keep the soul at peace with God:

1. Frequent Confession & Eucharist

Sin opens the door to evil. Regular confession restores grace, and the Holy Eucharist—Christ Himself—drives the devil away with divine power.

2. Consistent Daily Prayer

A steady prayer life builds a strong relationship with God. Scripture, the Rosary, Mental Prayer, Angelus, and daily prayers keep the soul protected and grounded in grace.

3. Fasting

Jesus taught that some evils are driven out only by prayer and fasting (Mk. 9:29). Meaningful, disciplined fasting strengthens spiritual resistance.

4. Use of Sacramentals

Blessed water, salt, scapulars, and other sacramentals are powerful spiritual weapons when used with faith.

Live these four practices seriously, and you not only repel evil—you grow in holiness and move closer to sainthood.
