In the book of James it says to submit or humble ourselves before God to resist the devil and he will flee. So we resist the devil by turning to end submitting to God. This scripture makes much sense to me now after your message thank you so much!
I just found this channel today after I was reading the book of James and the Holy Spirit is really confirming a lot rn, and he used your comment as one of those confirmations. God bless you my brother 🙏🏼
DO NOT call him Father, this man is a modern day Pharisee. He is unworthy of such a title, do you even read YOUR Bible!!! Blasphemy!!!! -Matthew 23-9 ... and call NO MAN your Father UPON THE EARTH: For one is your Father, which is in heaven.
Perfect timing with this upload. Christ provides always. Just as I'm feeling very overwhelmed and tired of life, spiritual food is placed in front of me. By the grace and mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, thank you Father.
I prayed last nighy fo God to help me understand how to fight my gluttony. I asked him to give me a sign that He heard my prayer....this morning He led me to this video!! Thank you and Praise and Glory to God for answering my prayer! Help me to put this into practice.
Such a vital teaching, thank you. As an Anglican priest I’ve heard so many people insist that they will never give up trying to fix themselves by constantly obsessing over their negative thoughts which only ties them up in greater knots and develops anger towards themselves. Far better to turn to Christ and refuse to allow any attention for the thoughts that accuse us. God’s love is powerful to hold our attention away from all the thoughts that harm us.
The same day I did something that I knew my Lord didn’t want me to do a friend of mine sent me this video, pray for me guys please I need to open back up to God by cutting off the things I’ve been giving into 🙏🏾
Thank you for sharing this with us - I will try this with my addiction to smoking/vaping as I have quit a thousand times on my own (but it never lasted...)
I hencforth have the utter joy to turn to my Saviour and Advocate; to my First Love! I will flee, shun, abstain from, and so forth, and embrace my Divine Creator from now on... Before watching your super video for the 1st time, I had emailed Father Spyridon and introduced myself... Thanks million!
This is how you adapt to the new generation father. We are so caught up in mental warfare without a clue the chances we go and see a priest 1 on 1 is very rare and this gives us the wisdom of doing so. God bless you and all the other priests doing God work.
I needed confirming this was the way to stop the dragons demonic attacks... Turn to our King 👑 Yahushua ha mashiach, dont fight it alone, turn back on those wicked thoughts and turn to light.. Christ... Thank you so much Teacher of God 🙏
thank you so much, this video was right at the time and it helped. blessed be your monastic life and my prayer goes out to you. I hope one day i will have such strength to overcome my sinful nature as good as possible to be a ripe seed for god to harvest. Amen.
Thank you for this reflection, Fr. Aldea. It seems I've been doing things very wrong in my spiritual life and it wasn't working for a very long time now. I needed this to turn it around, so thank you and God bless!
Oh, no, these videos are not silly at all, they are very useful for us lay people. This idea of running away from evil thoughts and behaviours is very helpful, the more so as it leads us to understand more deeply that Lord Jesus is our Saviour in our daily spiritual battles if we chose to turn to Him. Thanks a lot, Father - from a Roman Catholic.
I have been in situations where I was not permitted to escape from physical, mental, & emotional attack. I was lead to the Psalms during that time & they sustained me. Even tho I'm no longer in those situations at the moment, there are repeated spiritual attacks that come for periods of time. The confusion & panic in the mind is insurmountable. "Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy. Thy will be done"... is my prayer until the attack ends. I am so thankful for God's love & grace.
Thank you Father, this has been so helpful for me to hear, today has been a very difficult day battling with this very problem, I will battle no longer and turn to the psalms and prayer. God bless you Father.
possibly the most logical thing i've ever heard.... i was always taught to FIGHT the devil this way & that- i realized i spent so much time in battle i had no time for learning.... this is so simple and logical it boggles the mind❤🙏 God Bless you brother!
Father, you have enlightened me so much, Ill pray for you for as long as I can. This was spot on about what I needed to hear. May God bless you infinitely for this lesson you gave me.
❤ dear Father… thank you very much for your words which fill my hearr with hope and light.. i am broken in sin and turn to you in thirst and you have guided me ..Amen
Been battling this evil for a while now. This helped me tremendously, thank you for sharing. Like he trys to keep me fighting - I will turn to the light.
DO NOT call him Father, this man is a modern day Pharisee. He is unworthy of such a title, do you even read YOUR Bible!!! Blasphemy!!!! -Matthew 23-9 ... and call NO MAN your Father UPON THE EARTH: For one is your Father, which is in heaven.
Thank you so much, this really helped me a lot because before I tried to right the devil but now I Will try what you said, I Will ignore this thoughts. God bless
good one - I have mention to OUR LORD quite a few times - " My LORD, I am getting my ass kicked - what am I doing wrong?" Our LORD answers in such amazing ways and HE is Truly MARVELOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks brother - I dont know about anyone else But I needed this so thanks!!! MAY HIS FACE SHINE UPON YOU and your endeavor and may HE grant all of you HIS peace - stay strong in HIM OUR LORD JESUS - the Christ

Believers OFTEN mistake thoughts as originating from their mind when some of them are whispers from the adversary. If you fall a thousand times it is not that you fall but do you get up, pick up your cross and begin again to follow Christ? Only when you stop getting up, stop repenting and stop following is there a problem...

Wow. Mind blown. I knew this but could never articulate it this well. God bless you all the days of your life and one day i hope to thank you in Heaven. What a gift from God you are to my soul 😭🙏🏻
Yes, Father, you have absolutely gotten through to me. Yes, one should not throw in the towel and give up. The devil revels in our silly selves thinking we can do it on our own. I am 68 years old and am still “running away”, as you put it, from the devil who knows how, like a ventriloquist, to taunt us with our own negative thoughts. I have tried your advice about reading and even reciting from memory of a psalm. I have found that very effective in countering the wiles of the evil one. I even saw him take form in the middle of the day once to awe and frighten me in a bizarre woman holding a staff with a pruning blade at the end of it and a black dog on a leash. Was it just a crazy homeless woman on the street? I don’t know. But, I had been reciting the Jesus prayer at around that time.

Thank you so much Seraphim Aldea for the great logos of the Holy Spirit and His majesty's great sense of Truth and Sense and logic!
Exceptional advice - I let those unwanted thoughts pass by because if I stop to look, it takes my attention away from Jesus Christ

Jesus Prayer helps me a lot. It's blocking and extracting bad thoughts.
You have no idea how much this helps me father. Pray for me father. Pray for me brothers and sister so i can escape my destructive behaviour.
Done! Christ be with you

Christ is risen! Much needed words, thank you beloved brother.
When tempted we must default to prayer to Christ. AMEN.
