+St Nilus of Mt Sinai had some advice you might want to consider before assuming that you are suffering for Christ’s sake (what a deliciously prideful Western spin on +John and +Paul...as if God needs you to suffer for His sake!)as opposed to being suckered by the Evil One.
“You should also know the following subterfuge of the demons: at times they divide themselves into groups. Some come with a temptation; and when you ask for help others come in the guise of angels and chase away the first, to make you believe that they are true angels, and fall into vainglory, through having been granted such a thing.”
