It can be a sign that the demon is powerful enough by force of will to stop one
from speaking, or that through pure FEAR it can stop you from speaking. The best
way to overcome this is either force yourself to speak no matter what, even if it
is screaming wordlessly. Or, you can as stated elsewhere in the post, try to invoke
something
magickally to protect yourself. It is easy for me; Micha-el is my Archangel and I
can always call on him for help in a fight.
Other than that, the Mark of Thor can be used for great effectiveness as well.
Or, there is the old standy of LBRP, but most things that can take away your
ability to speak will only be slowed down by LBRP, if that.

Other deities can be called (Wolf is also good for this, as is Snake; from a
Totemic point of view).

I would also suggest St. George, St. Bernard de Clairvaux, St. Ignatus (he was a
soldier after all) or any Archangel. If you think that fire is going to be
involved, St. Barbara is a primo choice.

They can also be used by anyone, either because God loves everyone or because os
many people are Christians that it is close to a fact, and you tap into the belief
of billions to stop one demon. Either way, kicks ass.

They tend to be antagonistic to Christians. As a friend of mine put it, I seems
like I have a giant  astral "Kick Me" sign on. Demons like to piss off God, we
follow God, God doesn't like to see us hurt ergo demons hurt us, it pisses off God.

Yup, and a DAMN powerful one he is too.

Do it mentally, or think thought of "Get Out!!" You'd surprised how often that
alone works.
