In particular, Elder Sabbas helped to reveal the delusion of one hierodeacon. This story is also available in a letter of Elder [[Daniel Katounakiotis‎]] to Markianis Markianus "About rejection of dreams"(in: Angelic Living). Elder Daniel wrote about this as an example that sometimes it is very difficult to reveal the demonic tricks. That hierodeacon was young and arbitrarily started to pray a lot in the night with many prostrations. And then he started to see visions and receive revelations about the sins of other brethren. Though he confessed everything, nobody of the confessors understood the delusion because he looked humble and was making the sign of the Cross during the visions. Then At first, Elder Sabbas did not understand what was going on. He advised: "I have some thought in my mind. If you have a true vision of Christ and Angels, ask what I was thinking of because only the Lord knows everything." During the next vision, that hierodeacon asked imaginary "Christ" about that and the delusion was revealed. Even though the visions ceased after repeated exorcism, the soul of that hierodeacon was seriously injured because he was in delusion for a long time. Elder Daniel Katounakiotis‎ writes that later he gave up all his monastic vows.
