Thank you very much and I encourage you to speak more on these topics specifically on what we can do to defend ourselves and expose who exactly is pushing this Marxist narrative. Thank you
Thank you my brother in Christ for your teaching and your diligence. I pray that GOD will bless you with His presence and peace you and your family. May the Grace of Jesus Christ be with you.
Thank God for this message (all the others you share too). I had read most of your books but hadn't known about the book on your journey to Russia. I read it and as usual was extremely edified. I grow so much from what you share about our Church teachings and the wisdom of the Father's and Elders. Even the comment section helps. Many of us feel lonely and very misunderstood. From this virus and popular culture, the varying ways our clergy respond (or don't) to the reality of the days we are in. Pray for me my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ as I will for you. Lord have mercy on me a sinner
I’m 16 years old I live in Paris (the heart of all the western diabolic culture) and I can tell you that the situation is way worse than everything you can imagine. I’m thankfull to God that he let me know his glorious name despite in live in one of the worst place on Earth to be a christian.
Used to live in France, down the south though. Now I live in California, and i miss my small France. But I’m grateful that I found God in the midst of this crazy corrupted state. God is good. Glory to God
Yes, I’m in process of organizing my house: the main living room is full of books, ancestral pictures, indoor plants. Dining room with icons and simplicity. Bedrooms small - only clothes and necessities for study.
I'm glad it is God that will do my judgement and not priests that call an entire population demonic. This is what causes war and is irresponsible. You should have enough examples through the bible, where people point fingers to cause war and senseless killing happens. Jesus came to forgive our personal sins so other mortals didn't feel justified in judging if we are sinners or not. Everyone is a sinner.
@@alexgorron6470 This video responds to sin against God for those who don’t repent. There will be a lot of people who have or will refuse repentance and as such be cast into the Lake of Fire by an all righteous God.
Our children are in danger because our parents have allowed this situation to happen. My parents were "liberated" atheist hippies and the lack of any real values they passed on to me meant my life was a self destructive hedonistic chaos until i found God.
AMEN! It is what I keep waiting for in my church but is never said because they don’t want to offend the democrats in our church that think abortion and other evils are good. I wander at this point if I should even keep going to that church. Here in America we don’t have many Orthodox Churches. It is sad when telling the truth is seen as too controversial.
God please bring our children out of all the dark and dangerous corners where sin and corruption grows - Amen Amen Amen.....Thankyou for this presentation.
Thank you Father. This is the situation of our three granddaughters growing up without a Father and a Mother who is always absent. The 12 year old started cutting herself. Lord have mercy.
Whenever I get depressed I pray, if I'm really depressed I pray a lot more, and if I am in a rut I cross myself with holy water and pray. If I've been truly depressed and anxious I will go to confession.
I left the Episcopal Church when I was very young and wondered aimlessly from church to church including the Roman Catholic Church. I probably in 40 years only went to church maybe a dozen times. It wasn’t until I was over 60 years old I found the Orthodox Church and my peace with God and Christ. I got my Chrismation in 2019 and I absolutely love my church and have made wonderful friends. This country is so blinded with the fact they think your either Catholic, Protestant or Jewish and everyone in the Middle East is Muslim. Sad state of affairs. Just like they say Devils and Demons walk the face of the earth. ☦️
The way things go (parent terrorists, and so on), I wouldn't be surprised if homeschooling is banned in a few years. The State wants to own everything and that includes children.
I don't find fault in any teaching in the Catholic church. Can you share any resources highlighting the differences/core beliefs of orthodoxy? It seems I don't disagree with either faith
@@josephbowditch9160 I'm not Katherine, but I recommend you watch "An Orthodox Perspective on Roman Catholicism" where father Josiah Trenham. The video is over and hour long but I consider it to be worth the watch.
@@user-pw2gg6py1g Christ warned about wolves among the sheep, but that doesn't negate the good work here or the Traditions of the Church. It just means the Devil is everywhere.

I wish I could find the specific video to link to but one of the most terrifying (or maybe terrific) sounds I’ve ever heard was the sweet voices of my Sisters at Holy Transfiguration Monastery chanting the Prokimenon from Psalm 7 one morning. “Arise Lord in anger, awake my God! Confront the raging of my enemies…”. There is much solace and support to be found in the Psalter these days. th-cam.com/users/EllwoodCityChapel

"If I stand here today as a Revolutionary, than it is as a Revolutionary against the Revolution!" Guess who said that? Someone who's been smeared for the last ~100 years
I disagree. I believe “Revelation” is inherently a revolution against Satan’s power in the world as led by Jesus Christ Himself and much of the worst aspects of humanity happen even without the revolutionary spirit. I believe entrenched overwhelming power can be worse. Also, you don’t need to kill to be a part of a revolutionary spirit. For example, most American colonists weren’t particularly interested in killing anyone… but the tyrannical British certainly were. There is a right to defend. The entirety of Russian orthodoxy depended on Russian paranoia and militarism throughout history as most their brethren were slaughtered in the Middle East at the hands of Muslim armies. God appoints the power of life and death to governments but when government is evil I believe chooses to overthrow them. It happened all throughout the Old Testament. God has His purposes. Furthermore, I view Jesus as a moral rebel in relation to the culture of His day. You can be in steadfast rebellion and with a revolutionary spirit and not be Satanic. We must all believe that Christ’s kingdom isn’t just some spiritual and invisible idea. He will reign on the earth physically. This requires a physical overturning of powers currently in place. Revelation is full of this sort of imagery. How literal swords from His mouth is, I don’t know, but Jesus will not be here to be a follower. He is King.
@@gregs3220 I’m sorry, but you must not live in the same world I live in. Satan is in power here. God allows it as a part of His revelation but Jesus came and is leading a Revolution against it. Jesus is leading a moral rebellion against the world. Sorry if you just can’t stand to see it and I’m sorry if that somehow disrupts your sense of piety. But the truth is, overcoming the cross was a revolutionary act.
An aimless walk; An endless striving, For a vain nothing... What is thy end, Man?! Are you able to say? Speak thy Life! What a chance, I wonder To be lost like a coin in a bottomless pocket. I wrote this yesternight, concerning the life of the western man, concerning the life without God. God bless you all, and greetings from Moldova, where orthodox tradition is still alive.
A bottomless pocket meaning for the person with that kind of pocket it is never going to be enough for them to reach contentment and so on occasion they cannot help themselves while loosing it to expose themselves for whom they really are.
James Medina According to Father Spyridon the church that you belong to is heretical. If I have understood Father Spyridon correctly all Protestants and Catholics will go to hell.
@@voievod9260 We need to unite behind Christ ✝️🕊️♥️ I love the Holy Roman Catholic Church and I have a deep love also for the Orthodox Christian Churches. The world has gone bonkers. God speed your way 🕊️
@@voievod9260 Jesus gave the keys if the Kingdom to Saint Peter the 1st Pope. There is only 1 Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. If you say you don’t want anything to do with the Pope then you are saying you want nothing to do with Christ. You are a leaf 🍁 blowing in the wind!!
Thank you Father. It is so sad how they pray on our children. I work in a library and I see the terrible books they have for children 5 and under and the new "modern day values" they teach. It is disgusting.
I don't take my children to the library much anymore. My spirit feels attacked every time I go in and the quality of children's books is horrible! I've spent this last year investing in as much classical children's literature that I can get my hands on! Plus many Orthodox books geared to their age.
Russia, Poland and Hungary have already been through this and from bitter experience they know that only by bowing the knee to Christ can a society be successful.
@SIMPSON Bart the west with its love for rainbow lifestyles, ab0rt1on, p0rn, gender c0nfus1on etc... Is what's s@t@n1k. The communists at least never condoned that sort of stuff.
Those countries have their own problems. Pervasive corruption, authoritarianism and the outright murder of political dissidents is a common feature of the political life of many East European countries. We should be firm in standing against godlessness in our own countries without falling into the trap of romanticizing the east.
@@stranger5615 The USSR funded p0rn, and a lot of the gender stuff can be tracked back to Marxist ideals. Look at who ran the USSR, it wasn't the Russian Orthodox Church..
I am but a mere catechumen in the Church, and your videos have been monumental in my life. I am a young father with a child born and another on the way. My family thanks you, Father. Thank you for your continuing fight against the Evil One. May we all endure to the end. Lord have mercy...
The monastic traditions were lost because the religious order became corrupt and fat. Spiritually arrogant and insular protecting the demons within the order from the light of examination.
Most American Protestants don't understand monks, nor monasteries, nor know that Catholic Monks exist, even in America. Monks to these people are Asian and Buddhist. They have been torn asunder from true Christianity and practice a Judaizing religion with the facade of Christianity. Even Karl Marx saw through it.
@@fadista7063 I hope so too, however I don’t see that there has been sufficient reflection by Christians as to why their ways have been cast aside. I see many talking of how the world has become wayward, through the tempting forces of the internet and popular culture. Here in this talk it says that parents lose their children to these things. The heavy hand of control creates a rebellious spirit. People have to be free to question and have direct experience with the transcendent, to find their own relationship with the Divine. Children who have someone to look up to that lights the way by example will fair far better than children who have parents that are self righteous and dictate how to walk in connection with God.
Richard Rachel as the first woman admiral in the health service, jab mandates, crt, killing the unborn, no wonder the Islamists have a name for US. Lord have Mercy. Love, stay strong, "be thankful in all things"!
Resonant words, Father. You are truly a source of divine inspiration. My generation is immersed in the lie. It can feel overwhelming at times. May God give us grace.
Our times are scary, I really can't believe What is going on around us. Just pure evil everywhere. Pray to Jesus and our Father God for protection For evil is abound. Thank you Father.
People are sick . I can't believe the things I see , but it's our reality right now . There's nothing glamorous about evil , it's pathetic ! Our Lord is with His people, we need not worry 😊
Fr. Spyridon a couple of years ago I started listening to your messages. Im actually reaching out to a local orthodox church, St Herman of Alaska Orthodox Church. I'm probably becoming apart of the Church. If you read this, please give a prayer this way to fellow sojourner. God bless
@@papabenoit782 How do you know God's will? Granted He said he wanted us to be one but we've always been one. The Orthodox Church is intact. Those who break off leave the Church, they do not set up a parallel church. John 2:19 “They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.” It seems you only want unity when weak. When you've been strong you've had no problems proselytizing in Orthodox lands and causing strife. Now when the tables are turned you suddenly pray for unity. We can only reunite on Truth and the whole Truth is only found in the Orthodox faith. We can surely be friendly and such but at this point there is little hope for "reunification". Meanwhile we'll benefit by your Pope Frank who makes our apologetics so easy. So until we see real repentance from your hierarchy including the Pope, we'll just continue to convert you one at a time. Which suits us just fine. How long can you continue at this rate of hemorrhaging? We're surely not budging it is not a diplomatic issue but a Truth issue, we will never accept the Papal universal jurisdiction, the Filoque, ADS and your other errors. So instead of praying for unity you should pray that you can break through your pride and repent of your errors. God bless you and sorry if my language is direct. But I believe the kindest thing atm is that we're honest to each other and especially to ourselves.
Thank you so much. My husband and I have experienced so much evil, living here in corrupt California. We attended an Orthodox church here, but even that became worldly and compromising just like all the other so called Christian churches around us. This is why channels like yours are so important. It keeps us from feeling alone when we seek righteousness and purity of spirit.
@@lifeaccordingtocynthia5657 I attend St. Matthew in Torrance. Our priest has NOT bowed down to the restrictions of Covidism. He a wonderful and traditional Eastern Orthodox priest!
Thank you, it is not just about Covid, but the Orthodox church we attended supported gay lifestyles, immodest dress, and were extremely worldly and liberal.
we need parallel systems, even a parallel economy. We need to invest in private Christian schools and in home schooling and we need to strengthen and be part of our local Christian communities. You cant survive on your own, you need the Ark of the Church.
I see this- and I try so hard to pray for people that act poorly - I have been in those dark places- yet still in arrogance I get angry at others. It’s hard but we must prevail.
Well said Father. I have witnessed the same things here in America. Each day I can feel that people in general here are desperate. A collapse is inevitable. With Christ I feel rich, protected, and in need of nothing. My greatest accomplishment in life has been to learn how to repent and walk away from the Evil one.
Thank you, Father for this message. It is so very important to hear these things in these times. To keep speaking truth and opening eyes to what is happening around us and putting it into perspective. I am currently reading your book "Orthodoxy and the Kingdom of Satan" and it contains alot of information that I knew about on surface level but I am learning alot more. I plan to get my husband to read it as well. God bless you, Father. God be merciful on us all.
This book is the real truth. There is no more conspiracy theory and I hope people understand that now. At a times was difficult for me to sleep and I was almost scared reading the next page. Please ask your husband to reed it too. The problem I see is that most people are aware of what exactly is going on and who is behind it and yet nobody is prepared to stand against. In the society I leave the working classes are too busy to make ends meet , the middle classes are way overpaid so if they know, they are are keeping it quite.... and so on . And this is how the Antichrist rule as all . I am scared also for my child that for the last 5 years at school had only one nativity play and I hope that as a strong orthodox family we will get through this . May God be with us all. God bless you Father and we are waiting for the next guidance.
@@elliotnatalie8361 You are correct to say that many/most do finally see what is happening but are so content or have become so complacent and comfortable with everyday life that even though they clearly know what is happening, they're unwilling to stand up for truth. For 5 years now my family and friends have belittled me and demeaned me as a conspiracy theorist but I stand for Christ and I'm not afraid of this world. My husband has thankfully begun the path to Orthodoxy with me and I hope that we can be truly part of the Church and the true path in the near future. . Father Spyridon is courageous to get his message and book out there. Especially when places like YT want to silence people. His guidance is much needed!!!
Thank you Father for your leadership when I’m needing it because horrible governments have chosen to impose “WOKENESS” and COMMUNISM and DICTATORSHIP in stead of Christian virtues.
What a chaotic time we live in. But don't worry. Believe in salvation through Jesus. Repentance from our sins. This is all in the plans of God. We must stay strong and keep steady through this stormy sea.
One of the 'high priests' of the global satanists - his brother Julien was one of the big transhumanists. The war office propogandists were always embedded in media and helped start 'pop culture' and hollywood. It was never organic, which is hard to accept, but they never stopped population study and control - direct pipeline from war propaganda into civilization propaganda.
Huxleys family, "high priests" of Scientism, preaching that "there is no meaning" and at the same time advocating for population "control" There is no meaning in life, but we must kill off 80% of population
Amen, my son and daughter in law are raising their children without God yet they celebrate Christmas, and Easter, and tell the children their maternal Grandfather is in Heaven. This world has become self absorbed, we worship money, and stuff we forget who put us on this earth, and why He put us here.
God bless you Fr Spyridon . Glory to God . Please continue offering the wisdom of the Orthodox Church teachings . Your application to today’s state of confusion due to Godlessness is exceedingly helpful and inspiring . Your words of truth are a beacon in the darkness of our present society . Axios 🙏🙏
What? God can do all things even mutate us. Why do you think we all look different? It is like people never heard of tribes. 23 and me proved that my family came from Sparta like my grandmother had said. Not all science is BS. Like God said it is about cause and effect. Your actions have consequences just like the jabs.
Not just that, but random mutations in a sequence encoded in a molecule formed by chance in a universe that came into existence for no reason. A sad joke
Thank you God! My Father. My Master. Jesus, my teacher. My Love. My Light. My All. Thank you for conveying the awareness of my heart. The validation of your word. The clear utterances of this world minds conditions. My God! We thank you for your help in these times. We ask you to use us to lift out of the mire of sin anyone who will Hear. Thank you for this teaching. Your so good. Now, put us to work!!
Love you brother and all very much. Stay strong in the Lord, don the whole Armor of God and stand firm in Him. He promised when we took up the cross too follow Him that as He, we'd be persecuted for His names sake. I'm more than willing to give up the whole of my spirit to bless our Savior with my repentant soul. May all be blessed in His Truth, His Life and His Way forever.
After l listen to any sermons .... I am convinced more and more that it's time for the world to return to God because all these demon's plan will continue to became more aggressive.
"today the real target is our children. evil is tent on the corruption of our children" but if we parents can fill our children with the fire of God and proper understanding then when the silly lies of the evil one come into their ears it will be quickly burned up are the Word of Truth.
Truth is that parents spend approximately 30 minutes face to face these days, and even at that time children have phones in their hand being absolved into this nonsense
I agree and it's unfortunate. all I can say is kids 5 and 10 years old have no phone. we don't allow it. my wife and I have covered every appropriate topic coming from the evil one and mocked it. our girls understand these things are against our God. my 5 and 10 year old, wife and me go to church worship God confess our sins and take the communion. I truly love what is good and hate what is evil. any child under my roof will get brainwashed towards righteousness before the world brainwashes them towards evil. ☦️

I bought your book Orthodoxy and the Kingdom of Satan. Started reading it last night. Great so far. I can tell I am going to enjoy it. Thank you for your teaching and sharing with us your thoughts and wisdom.
I love you Father Spyridon! Thank you so much for this important message that we desperately need to be shouted across the land, our children are on the frontline of this war and sadly many parents don’t realize how bad it really is. I would love to meet you or speak with you one day, God willing. Blessings to you and thank you in the mutual love of Christ Jesus.
Father Spyridon, thank you for once again ringing the spiritual alarm sirens for all of us. May our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ through the intercessions of our Most Holy Theotokos give you the strength and blessings to continue your Apostolic work.
The ideas of this sermon are encapsulated in the John Prine song “Spanish Pipe Dream” Read it here look it up Peace be with you all She was a level-headed dancer On the road to alcohol And I was just a soldier on my way to Montreal Well, she pressed her chest against me About the time the juke box broke Yeah, she give me a peck On the back of the neck And these are the words she spoke "Blow up your TV Throw away your paper Go to the country Build you a home Plant a little garden Eat a lot of peaches Try an' find Jesus on your own" Well, I sat there at the table And I acted real naive For I knew that topless lady Had something up her sleeve Well, she danced around the bar room And she did the hoochie-coo Yeah, she sang her song all night long Tellin' me what to do "Blow up your TV Throw away your paper Go to the country Build you a home Plant a little garden Eat a lot of peaches Try an' find Jesus on your own" Well, I was young and hungry And about to leave that place When just as I was leavin' Well, she looked me in the face I said, "You must know the answer" She said, "No, but I'll give it a try" And to this very day, we've been livin' our way Here is the reason why We blew up our TV Threw away our paper Went to the country Built us a home Had a lot of children Fed 'em on peaches They all found Jesus on their own
God bless you, Father, for your counsel. Renunciation of this world is a type of martyrdom which our Church leaders do not embrace, at least in the OCA, as our forebearers once did. The solution is for hierarchs of today to get their house in order. The Church will certainly be driven back underground in this sinful age and we are quite simply not prepared!
Forgive Father I too have fallen onto this trap where material possession and comfort was my forefront of life. This life is a speck of dust compared to eternity with God.
Lord help us. We are sinners seeking repentance, lost in a world of delusion. We are wretched and require your grace. Look upon us with pity and love us in our downtrodden state and lift us up to the ranks of your humble saints, in Christ's name. Amen.
Father Spyridon , nobody says it as real as you do. Soo many are afraid to speak the truth because we are doomed to be scrutinized by those who are under the influence of the Fowler. Watching all your videos for over a year has encouraged me to convert to Orthodoxy and it was beautiful. I became a Freemason about 3 years ago or so and had climbed the higher degrees and thanks to you and my Orthodox priest who lives next door I have left the occult and I live strictly by the laws of God. You have been a part of my journey to where I am so thank you Father. ☦️
As written in your excellent book Orthodoxy and the Kingdom of Satan. And what's even greater is how the Orthodox Priests are coming out and calling out the snares of the Unholy. And inviting us to repent.
Father. Thank you for such a concise explanation of the current situation. I'm a father of two boys. I was raised in an Orthodox Christian family, but it has been a grave challenge to shape my kids in such a way. I don't allow my kids to watch TV and have placed other guiding remedies in place. However, currently the schools are the major challenge for my family. The kids are bombarded with subtle messages that are evil in nature. Some of the topics are too complicated to explain to our kids. We are praying to get God's assistance to go through these challenges. Your teaching is very helpful for us. Thank you.
This is the first time for ages that I've heard anyone but angry MGTOWers ( men going their own way ) say that it's normal for a man to earn enough to raise a family. I can't say I agree with everything but it's really good to hear that.
Looking back to the 1960s, putting so many women in the workplace was a direct assault on the family, lowering wages for all workers and convincing people to let strangers (and government) raise their children. Imho.
If you are called to teach, there are avenues to do so outside of the demonic school system. Orthodox youth needs true teachers now more than ever. Pray for the Lords will to be done, if He wills you to teach, you will. God bless.
To me the key perspective that’s been lost or forgotten is the perspective of the eternal, which is also mentioned in this sermon. No matter religion or spiritual tradition the perspective of the bigger picture or the reality beyond the obvious everyday life has been so totally wiped away from the minds of the people of our age. No wonder we act as if there’s no tomorrow! But as soon as we discover our true nature and how it relates to everything again those evil days of darkness are wiped of our minds as if it never happened. That’s the nature of the eternal, forever pure and uncorrupted. It was all a dream.
I feel constricted. No holy water in Church, no communion on the tongue, no hand to hand contact with others in worship, partially hidden facial expressions, no singing loudly in praise, muzzled by a mask. It puts me in a spiritually weakened state. It weighs heavily on me. The fractured state of the church. The unattainable cost of private religious school. The exorbitant cost of living on one income. I worry for my son, the values I try to instill, will they quickly wash away when he comes of age as they once did for me. Will he be discriminated against for who he is. Will he walk with God. Will he understand it won’t be in vain.
The Lord is full of compassion and mercy. Hope you may find a parish that has not bowed down to the world. There are some. It is so disheartening to see those ruled by fear. Love!

I left the Episcopal Church when I was very young and wondered aimlessly from church to church including the Roman Catholic Church. I probably in 40 years only went to church maybe a dozen times. It wasn’t until I was over 60 years old I found the Orthodox Church and my peace with God and Christ. I got my Chrismation in 2019 and I absolutely love my church and have made wonderful friends. This country is so blinded with the fact they think your either Catholic, Protestant or Jewish and everyone in the Middle East is Muslim. Sad state of affairs. Just like they say Devils and Demons walk the face of the earth. ☦️
What is the difference between them?
Homeschooling. This is the way of the future. Almost all of my traditional Latin mass parish is homeschooling, it's wonderful to see.
Latin mass parishes are what I go to great teachers
The way things go (parent terrorists, and so on), I wouldn't be surprised if homeschooling is banned in a few years. The State wants to own everything and that includes children.
Please Come Home to Orthodoxy.
I don't find fault in any teaching in the Catholic church. Can you share any resources highlighting the differences/core beliefs of orthodoxy? It seems I don't disagree with either faith
@@josephbowditch9160 I'm not Katherine, but I recommend you watch "An Orthodox Perspective on Roman Catholicism" where father Josiah Trenham. The video is over and hour long but I consider it to be worth the watch.
They're after the children. That's so right.
You’re after the children too.
last time i checked the church are the biggest pedos
@@user-pw2gg6py1g Christ warned about wolves among the sheep, but that doesn't negate the good work here or the Traditions of the Church. It just means the Devil is everywhere.
"Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life; you stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and your right hand delivers me."
I wish I could find the specific video to link to but one of the most terrifying (or maybe terrific) sounds I’ve ever heard was the sweet voices of my Sisters at Holy Transfiguration Monastery chanting the Prokimenon from Psalm 7 one morning. “Arise Lord in anger, awake my God! Confront the raging of my enemies…”. There is much solace and support to be found in the Psalter these days. th-cam.com/users/EllwoodCityChapel

the "revolutionary spirit" is indeed satan's spirit. Thank you Fr Spyridon for a beautiful and heartfelt sermon, you give much solace to the faithful
E Michael Jones talks on the revolutionary spirit as being "anti-logos"
"If I stand here today as a Revolutionary, than it is as a Revolutionary against the Revolution!"
Guess who said that? Someone who's been smeared for the last ~100 years
I disagree. I believe “Revelation” is inherently a revolution against Satan’s power in the world as led by Jesus Christ Himself and much of the worst aspects of humanity happen even without the revolutionary spirit. I believe entrenched overwhelming power can be worse.
Also, you don’t need to kill to be a part of a revolutionary spirit. For example, most American colonists weren’t particularly interested in killing anyone… but the tyrannical British certainly were. There is a right to defend. The entirety of Russian orthodoxy depended on Russian paranoia and militarism throughout history as most their brethren were slaughtered in the Middle East at the hands of Muslim armies. God appoints the power of life and death to governments but when government is evil I believe chooses to overthrow them. It happened all throughout the Old Testament. God has His purposes.
Furthermore, I view Jesus as a moral rebel in relation to the culture of His day. You can be in steadfast rebellion and with a revolutionary spirit and not be Satanic. We must all believe that Christ’s kingdom isn’t just some spiritual and invisible idea. He will reign on the earth physically. This requires a physical overturning of powers currently in place. Revelation is full of this sort of imagery. How literal swords from His mouth is, I don’t know, but Jesus will not be here to be a follower. He is King.
@@gregs3220 I’m sorry, but you must not live in the same world I live in. Satan is in power here. God allows it as a part of His revelation but Jesus came and is leading a Revolution against it. Jesus is leading a moral rebellion against the world. Sorry if you just can’t stand to see it and I’m sorry if that somehow disrupts your sense of piety. But the truth is, overcoming the cross was a revolutionary act.

@@voievod9260 Jesus gave the keys if the Kingdom to Saint Peter the 1st Pope. There is only 1 Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. If you say you don’t want anything to do with the Pope then you are saying you want nothing to do with Christ. You are a leaf 🍁 blowing in the wind!!
Father Spyridon's wisdom and passion is pulling me back to my roots like a magnet. There is no way to describe how much this moves me.
I thoroughly enjoyed this sermon. Thank you so much.
Thank you Father. It is so sad how they pray on our children. I work in a library and I see the terrible books they have for children 5 and under and the new "modern day values" they teach. It is disgusting.
As do I. The ALA certainly makes its agenda known. Especially with drag queen story time.
I don't take my children to the library much anymore. My spirit feels attacked every time I go in and the quality of children's books is horrible! I've spent this last year investing in as much classical children's literature that I can get my hands on! Plus many Orthodox books geared to their age.
Russia, Poland and Hungary have already been through this and from bitter experience they know that only by bowing the knee to Christ can a society be successful.
No they enver went through this at all. The west is a unique centre of moral decadence. The communists has a sense of morality. Westerners do not.
@@stranger5615 The Communists murdered over 20 million people in Russia. Hardly what I would call having a sense of morality.
@SIMPSON Bart the west with its love for rainbow lifestyles, ab0rt1on, p0rn, gender c0nfus1on etc... Is what's s@t@n1k. The communists at least never condoned that sort of stuff.
Those countries have their own problems. Pervasive corruption, authoritarianism and the outright murder of political dissidents is a common feature of the political life of many East European countries. We should be firm in standing against godlessness in our own countries without falling into the trap of romanticizing the east.
@@stranger5615 The USSR funded p0rn, and a lot of the gender stuff can be tracked back to Marxist ideals. Look at who ran the USSR, it wasn't the Russian Orthodox Church..
I am but a mere catechumen in the Church, and your videos have been monumental in my life. I am a young father with a child born and another on the way. My family thanks you, Father. Thank you for your continuing fight against the Evil One. May we all endure to the end. Lord have mercy...
May God protect you ,and your young family ,Peace to you Brother.
Many years to you and your family, brother. And may your wife be as a fruitful vine, bearing forth much kids!
@@J..P..
Thank you, brother!
People are starting to understand. Thank you for your guidance. Personally I think the loss of monastic tradition has been a big factor in the west.
The monastic traditions were lost because the religious order became corrupt and fat. Spiritually arrogant and insular protecting the demons within the order from the light of examination.
Most American Protestants don't understand monks, nor monasteries, nor know that Catholic Monks exist, even in America. Monks to these people are Asian and Buddhist. They have been torn asunder from true Christianity and practice a Judaizing religion with the facade of Christianity. Even Karl Marx saw through it.
I see a revival.
@@lv2465 I hope so--a lot of people know that it has to change.
@@fadista7063 I hope so too, however I don’t see that there has been sufficient reflection by Christians as to why their ways have been cast aside.
I see many talking of how the world has become wayward, through the tempting forces of the internet and popular culture. Here in this talk it says that parents lose their children to these things. The heavy hand of control creates a rebellious spirit. People have to be free to question and have direct experience with the transcendent, to find their own relationship with the Divine.
Children who have someone to look up to that lights the way by example will fair far better than children who have parents that are self righteous and dictate how to walk in connection with God.
Greetings from the place where God has placed me, United States. I'm ashamed of this place

Resonant words, Father. You are truly a source of divine inspiration. My generation is immersed in the lie. It can feel overwhelming at times. May God give us grace.

Fr. Spyridon a couple of years ago I started listening to your messages. Im actually reaching out to a local orthodox church, St Herman of Alaska Orthodox Church. I'm probably becoming apart of the Church. If you read this, please give a prayer this way to fellow sojourner. God bless
I really needed to hear this talk at this time of my life. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God have Mercy on us.
Thank you for your words of wisdom father
Wow. This is the most profoundly important 10 minutes for everyone to hear and understand. Thank you Father.
I'm Catholic but love listening too you.Thank you and God Bless you.
I hope the RC Church and Orthodox Church can reunite. This must be God's will.
@@papabenoit782 How do you know God's will? Granted He said he wanted us to be one but we've always been one. The Orthodox Church is intact. Those who break off leave the Church, they do not set up a parallel church.
John 2:19
“They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.”
It seems you only want unity when weak. When you've been strong you've had no problems proselytizing in Orthodox lands and causing strife. Now when the tables are turned you suddenly pray for unity.
We can only reunite on Truth and the whole Truth is only found in the Orthodox faith. We can surely be friendly and such but at this point there is little hope for "reunification". Meanwhile we'll benefit by your Pope Frank who makes our apologetics so easy. So until we see real repentance from your hierarchy including the Pope, we'll just continue to convert you one at a time. Which suits us just fine. How long can you continue at this rate of hemorrhaging? We're surely not budging it is not a diplomatic issue but a Truth issue, we will never accept the Papal universal jurisdiction, the Filoque, ADS and your other errors.
So instead of praying for unity you should pray that you can break through your pride and repent of your errors. God bless you and sorry if my language is direct. But I believe the kindest thing atm is that we're honest to each other and especially to ourselves.
@@henrik_worst_of_sinners Amen.
I'm Catholic too. I have a lot of respect for Father Spyridon, Father Josiah Trenham and Roosh.
@@carlotapuig Roosh ex Gigalo?
Thank you so much. My husband and I have experienced so much evil, living here in corrupt California. We attended an Orthodox church here, but even that became worldly and compromising just like all the other so called Christian churches around us. This is why channels like yours are so important. It keeps us from feeling alone when we seek righteousness and purity of spirit.
Which church? I’m in CA as well.
Go to Fr. Josiah Trenhams church in California. Even if its a long drive, he is a good man.

@@lifeaccordingtocynthia5657 I attend St. Matthew in Torrance. Our priest has NOT bowed down to the restrictions of Covidism. He a wonderful and traditional Eastern Orthodox priest!
Thank you, it is not just about Covid, but the Orthodox church we attended supported gay lifestyles, immodest dress, and were extremely worldly and liberal.
we need parallel systems, even a parallel economy. We need to invest in private Christian schools and in home schooling and we need to strengthen and be part of our local Christian communities. You cant survive on your own, you need the Ark of the Church.
Well said, Father Spyridon. Yours is the voice of truth.
You spoke so eloquently what so many of us know to true. Thank you. 🙏🏻
This is hard truth and a blessing to hear. Thank you Father Spyridon.
I see this- and I try so hard to pray for people that act poorly - I have been in those dark places- yet still in arrogance I get angry at others. It’s hard but we must prevail.
I very much appreciate your insight and your wisdom, Father Spyridon. May God continue to richly bless you.
Thank you for your shared wisdom Father . You as always are spot on and wise.
On my third listen 🎧
God bless you 🙏🏻
Well said Father. I have witnessed the same things here in America. Each day I can feel that people in general here are desperate. A collapse is inevitable. With Christ I feel rich, protected, and in need of nothing. My greatest accomplishment in life has been to learn how to repent and walk away from the Evil one.
Thank you, Father for this message. It is so very important to hear these things in these times. To keep speaking truth and opening eyes to what is happening around us and putting it into perspective.
I am currently reading your book "Orthodoxy and the Kingdom of Satan" and it contains alot of information that I knew about on surface level but I am learning alot more. I plan to get my husband to read it as well.
God bless you, Father.
God be merciful on us all.
This book is the real truth. There is no more conspiracy theory and I hope people understand that now. At a times was difficult for me to sleep and I was almost scared reading the next page. Please ask your husband to reed it too. The problem I see is that most people are aware of what exactly is going on and who is behind it and yet nobody is prepared to stand against. In the society I leave the working classes are too busy to make ends meet , the middle classes are way overpaid so if they know, they are are keeping it quite.... and so on . And this is how the Antichrist rule as all . I am scared also for my child that for the last 5 years at school had only one nativity play and I hope that as a strong orthodox family we will get through this . May God be with us all. God bless you Father and we are waiting for the next guidance.
@@elliotnatalie8361 You are correct to say that many/most do finally see what is happening but are so content or have become so complacent and comfortable with everyday life that even though they clearly know what is happening, they're unwilling to stand up for truth. For 5 years now my family and friends have belittled me and demeaned me as a conspiracy theorist but I stand for Christ and I'm not afraid of this world. My husband has thankfully begun the path to Orthodoxy with me and I hope that we can be truly part of the Church and the true path in the near future. .
Father Spyridon is courageous to get his message and book out there. Especially when places like YT want to silence people. His guidance is much needed!!!

*”You people are just random mutations”*
That is the belief of secular western sciences
What? God can do all things even mutate us. Why do you think we all look different? It is like people never heard of tribes. 23 and me proved that my family came from Sparta like my grandmother had said. Not all science is BS. Like God said it is about cause and effect. Your actions have consequences just like the jabs.
Not just that, but random mutations in a sequence encoded in a molecule formed by chance in a universe that came into existence for no reason. A sad joke

After l listen to any sermons .... I am convinced more and more that it's time for the world to return to God because all these demon's plan will continue to became more aggressive.
You got that right.
"today the real target is our children. evil is tent on the corruption of our children" but if we parents can fill our children with the fire of God and proper understanding then when the silly lies of the evil one come into their ears it will be quickly burned up are the Word of Truth.
Truth is that parents spend approximately 30 minutes face to face these days, and even at that time children have phones in their hand being absolved into this nonsense
I agree and it's unfortunate. all I can say is kids 5 and 10 years old have no phone. we don't allow it. my wife and I have covered every appropriate topic coming from the evil one and mocked it. our girls understand these things are against our God. my 5 and 10 year old, wife and me go to church worship God confess our sins and take the communion.

The ideas of this sermon
are encapsulated in the
John Prine song
“Spanish Pipe Dream”
Read it here
look it up
Peace be with you all
She was a level-headed dancer
On the road to alcohol
And I was just a soldier on my way to Montreal
Well, she pressed her chest against me
About the time the juke box broke
Yeah, she give me a peck
On the back of the neck
And these are the words she spoke
"Blow up your TV
Throw away your paper
Go to the country
Build you a home
Plant a little garden
Eat a lot of peaches
Try an' find Jesus on your own"
Well, I sat there at the table
And I acted real naive
For I knew that topless lady
Had something up her sleeve
Well, she danced around the bar room
And she did the hoochie-coo
Yeah, she sang her song all night long
Tellin' me what to do
"Blow up your TV
Throw away your paper
Go to the country
Build you a home
Plant a little garden
Eat a lot of peaches
Try an' find Jesus on your own"
Well, I was young and hungry
And about to leave that place
When just as I was leavin'
Well, she looked me in the face
I said, "You must know the answer"
She said, "No, but I'll give it a try"
And to this very day, we've been livin' our way
Here is the reason why
We blew up our TV
Threw away our paper
Went to the country
Built us a home
Had a lot of children
Fed 'em on peaches
They all found Jesus on their own
Thank you Father for these wise words, they are so badly needed in these challenging times. God bless you.
Thank you, much appreciated, very encouraging and one I will return to time and time again.
God bless you, Father, for your counsel. Renunciation of this world is a type of martyrdom which our Church leaders do not embrace, at least in the OCA, as our forebearers once did. The solution is for hierarchs of today to get their house in order. The Church will certainly be driven back underground in this sinful age and we are quite simply not prepared!
Forgive Father I too have fallen onto this trap where material possession and comfort was my forefront of life.
This life is a speck of dust compared to eternity with God.
Thank you so much for this. Very needful for many Christians today, and everyone, for that matter! God bless you and your family, Fr Spyridon.
Probably your best segment. You nailed it!
Father Spryidon, it has been a very long time since I have heard truer words spoken about the spiritual state of our world. Thank you.
I got rid of my TVs two years ago. I don't want my son growing up watching TV. My family thinks it's weird.
We got rid of cable a bit ago and just have streaming services where we pick what we want to watch which isn't much as so many things are just trash.
Dear Father, God has given you the power to convert your thoughts to sublime words. Wish I had that gift. Thank you Father
I’m becoming Orthodox. Thank you for this video
Lord help us. We are sinners seeking repentance, lost in a world of delusion. We are wretched and require your grace. Look upon us with pity and love us in our downtrodden state and lift us up to the ranks of your humble saints, in Christ's name. Amen.
Thank you father Spyridon for your wise words.
Father Spyridon , nobody says it as real as you do. Soo many are afraid to speak the truth because we are doomed to be scrutinized by those who are under the influence of the Fowler. Watching all your videos for over a year has encouraged me to convert to Orthodoxy and it was beautiful. I became a Freemason about 3 years ago or so and had climbed the higher degrees and thanks to you and my Orthodox priest who lives next door I have left the occult and I live strictly by the laws of God. You have been a part of my journey to where I am so thank you Father. ☦️
As written in your excellent book Orthodoxy and the Kingdom of Satan. And what's even greater is how the Orthodox Priests are coming out and calling out the snares of the Unholy. And inviting us to repent.
Thankyou Fr
True Christians will overcome any evil
Thank you for your videos father Spyridon. They have helped me a lot. God bless you!
Father. Thank you for such a concise explanation of the current situation. I'm a father of two boys. I was raised in an Orthodox Christian family, but it has been a grave challenge to shape my kids in such a way. I don't allow my kids to watch TV and have placed other guiding remedies in place. However, currently the schools are the major challenge for my family. The kids are bombarded with subtle messages that are evil in nature. Some of the topics are too complicated to explain to our kids. We are praying to get God's assistance to go through these challenges. Your teaching is very helpful for us. Thank you.
Toiling under the sun. Our lesson , to love God with every ounce of our being.
This is the first time for ages that I've heard anyone but angry MGTOWers ( men going their own way ) say that it's normal for a man to earn enough to raise a family. I can't say I agree with everything but it's really good to hear that.
Looking back to the 1960s, putting so many women in the workplace was a direct assault on the family, lowering wages for all workers and convincing people to let strangers (and government) raise their children. Imho.
I hope to meet you one day. You have such wisdom. I was going to be a school teacher. I’m not so sure now.
If you are called to teach, there are avenues to do so outside of the demonic school system. Orthodox youth needs true teachers now more than ever. Pray for the Lords will to be done, if He wills you to teach, you will. God bless.
Thanks Father, very uplifting as always. Thank you.
To me the key perspective that’s been lost or forgotten is the perspective of the eternal, which is also mentioned in this sermon. No matter religion or spiritual tradition the perspective of the bigger picture or the reality beyond the obvious everyday life has been so totally wiped away from the minds of the people of our age. No wonder we act as if there’s no tomorrow! But as soon as we discover our true nature and how it relates to everything again those evil days of darkness are wiped of our minds as if it never happened. That’s the nature of the eternal, forever pure and uncorrupted. It was all a dream.
Thank you Father for this sermon 🙏
I feel constricted. No holy water in Church, no communion on the tongue, no hand to hand contact with others in worship, partially hidden facial expressions, no singing loudly in praise, muzzled by a mask. It puts me in a spiritually weakened state. It weighs heavily on me. The fractured state of the church. The unattainable cost of private religious school. The exorbitant cost of living on one income. I worry for my son, the values I try to instill, will they quickly wash away when he comes of age as they once did for me. Will he be discriminated against for who he is. Will he walk with God. Will he understand it won’t be in vain.
God be with you and your son. Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on us!
The Lord is full of compassion and mercy.
Hope you may find a parish that has not bowed down to the world.
There are some.
It is so disheartening to see those ruled by fear.
Love!
