If someone is treating you bad, narcissist sociopath abuse , don’t keep giving good, they will destroy you.🥵😭🙏🙏run even if it’s a spouse they are demon possessed
Please pray for me panic anxiety, devil been attacking me many years
God bless you 🌹
The Jesus prayer is the answer to the first hint of any attack on you.
Protestant here. Starting my orthodox journey over the last few months. The part where he talks about wanting to be crippled so that he wouldn’t have to do prostrations really resonates with me. I’ve worked at a church for 10 years and I’ve gone through seasons of great depression and every time I would go through these seasons, I would have thoughts of cutting hands and fingers off so that I would be useless to the ministry. The work of the gospel is hard work, but it is rewarding work.
I took a nap and I remembered a license plate in my dream. To make a long story, I needed to hear this message. ❤ Thank you for sharing!
St. Paisios please ask God to have mercy on us.
This made me think so much. I was working 7 days a week and still could not feel comfortable relaxing at home. I kept feeling bad and lazy. It was wearing me down and even if I had time to get to church on a Sunday I couldn't get there. I was too tired. But then I would feel guilty. Definitely a spiritual attack. I know that now.
boy I needed to hear that this morning. thank you
The segment on temptation toward an excess in prostrations hit home, St Paisios pray for us all.
المجد لك يارب المجد لك يارب المجد لك يارب
بصلوات وشفاعة والدة الاله تي ثيؤطوكوس والقديس باييسيوس الاثوسي يا مخلص خلصنا امين
Thank you Saint Paisios. I really needed this m.
I feel the worse anxiety is when you try to serve God by serving others and treat them as you would our Lord in this world. Not being extravagant, being humble, no pride, no bragging, caring but finding yourself tormented by a narcissistic bully boss daily, a devil, and receiving a low wage and constant worry how to pay the basic bills. -Tim
Tim, Sorry to hear about your bind. I recall a most difficult passage by Jesus to be applied to another disciple Luke 17:3. English Standard Version
Pay attention to yourselves! If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him,
That is very hard to do to another Christian, but Jesus demands we do so. Your boss may be another matter. Are you being prideful? Did you require a rebuke because you weren't doing your work? Are you being hooked by the employer emotionally? Perhaps you are bringing old, unresolved conflicts from another time and place like childhood or other harmful relationships. If you can't pray for your enemy, then pray for their children or spouse. Pray specifically for discernment. Ask advice from someone you trust. Lauren. Sending a prayer of intercession your way.
You are so right. My heart hurts so bad … I hear much negativity within the family members and curses between them. I’m so sensitive that I cannot function. I cry and feel drained…I want to be good and happy but they bring me down and when I’m sad they make me feel worse. God have mercy on the meek
I want to visit Mt Athos in my lifetime !
10:27 I've heard from so many people that when we are tired or don't feel like doing something spiritual that it is good to continue on with what we're doing for our spiritual edification. Like instead of falling asleep we should be waking ourselves up to do more reading or praying or prostrations, etc. so on one hand it is easy to believe we are not doing enough and on the other hand it is also easy to see how this could be a temptation coming from a bad place. I always feel like I'm never doing enough and I'm lazy and I end up burning myself out but if I don't do that I'm being lazy or so I'm told.
The message of this sermon sems to me to be, among other things, to do only what you can, pushing yourself to do more comes from the evil one. In your heart you know your own strength and limits, listen to your heart not the demons.
I needed this. Sometimes I feel so blessed to live in an age with TH-cam.
St Paisios is quickly becoming one of my guiding lights! I just ordered Vol 1 of his Spiritual Counsels. Such love & wisdom poured out of this holy man.
Well done well said ,,,,we are blind to sin ,,,,,God help us all 😢😢😢
St. Paisios, pray for me! Thank you, Father, for posting this most helpful reading. I often also listen to your Pre-communion prayers in the car on the way to Divine Liturgy. This is another of St. Paisios’ works I think I need to add to my library. Again, I’m so grateful for your work.
Lord have mercy, this is difficult for me.

Thank you Father, Bless.
I am grateful to hear this Holy Saint. It blesses my walk in the Way. Thank you Father

Is there one like this with Arabic or Arabic subtitles. I want to send it to a friend but his English isn’t that good.
Go to auto translate and the first language is Arabic.
Can we control the minds and actions of others? What does God say when mother-in-law will be against daughter- in- law? Should anxiety arise?God's plan is Good, having people around you in your own household who doesn't follow this not so Good.
Any relationship between fr.Lillie and Bill Lillie of Salonika?
Not that I know of. Perhaps a long lost cousin! Lol!
I know a John and Ann Lillie in Thessaloniki of which John Lillie translates a lot of Greek material into English for some monasteries
I had a couple of million dollars and no job. Miserable. Nothing is much better.
