Me too. I think we think it's only ourselves that struggle, but I think it is ALL of us. The important thing is we're listening, repenting and striving to be humble and shaking off the sloth. 💜
Thank you so much for bringing Orthodoxy to the internet, and encouraging Christians to turn the internet into a tool for spiritual growth. The internet is such a dangerous place spiritually and your efforts are crucial for bringing us back to ourselves.
Only the Orthodox preach in this way. The modern mind cannot grasp it. Fr Spyridon should be Archbishop of All England. The present incumbent can go back to the City, where he belongs.
@@evangelosperry so true. I am new to it, about one month, and I am just blown away, so to speak, by the depth in everything Fr Spyridon says. In my view, it is like hearing teachings for monks+nuns. It's beyond what most can appreciate.
I have recently found that the story of Jesus driving out of the temple the money changers has come up over and over again to me. I am stubborn in giving things up so I asked Him to drive those passions out of me and make my body the temple of the Holy Spirit to which it was intended to be in the beginning. I don't know what to expect now that I asked but I believe He will do this. Please pray for me Father.
Amen love this message. God gives and God can take away. Surrender ourselves to Him in faith and obedience and allow Him to work all things together for good in our lives as we love Him and trust Him who first loved us.
Love your content, Father Spyridon. God bless you in the Name of the Father, and the Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit! May the Lord our God have mercy on us all, and establish the work of our hands!
I am not Orthodox, closest thing to help you understand where I lean is ‘Plymouth Brethren’ John Nelson Darby admirer. I appreciate Mr Spyridon and have learned a thing or two. I started watching and enquiring Orthodoxy only months ago, the reverence for God inspires me.
Brother, I earnestly encourage you to dismiss any teachings of the renegade John Darby! he is one of the instigators of this heretical idea of the nation of Israel being Gods Chosen people above the Church of Jesus Christ!
@@McIntyreBible Dear friends, I do believe the scriptures support the nation of Israel as having formerly and exclusively been Gods chosen people. As you know they rejected him, time and time again. On account of this, and perhaps other things including divine providence, salvation was offered to all, one example is the Ninevites in the book of Jonah. Jonah just couldn't understand how God could show mercy to these folks of whom it is written " didn't know there left hand from the right " and I might add they certainly did not know God. I ofcourse could provide many scriptures that support my statements but I'm sure you all are very familiar with the scriptures and what they teach. John Darby, I do appreciate the simplicity of his translation.
I'm glad you say that! but I personally think it's important that you know about John Darby (because you probably won't learn this from Darby enthusiasts): Darby was a defector from the Anglican Church and joined the Plymouth Brethren movement in Ireland. He had hyper-dispensational views, and was a proponent of bringing back the old heresy of Christian Zionism, that is, the Old Testament prospect of a restored Jewish Kingdom in the latter days. I'm telling you all this, brother, for your spiritual good!
Thank you Father Spyridon for your obedience to our Lord, which in turn is a blessing to us! May God's Spirit lead us into all truth and may He grant us discernment; because sadly, there are many wolves in sheep's clothing misleading the flock of Christ these days. 🙏
Such true words. Father please help me to pray everyday that we will not see death but that our eyes will behold the glory of the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ to Rapture his church in our lifetime. Why else father would he give me this dream when I was 16 years old and I was completely ignorant of God and his word. The Lord first gives a dream or a vision and then later the Revelation comes. In the dream Jesus indicated to me that I would see his face but as he walked and he passed people that were standing on the ground they were either lifted off the ground into the air or they fell down as if they were dead. I did not till several years later learn to associate Jesus, his life and his sacrifice with the plague of Moses the blood of the Lamb on the doorpost! I did not know this for many many years after I had this dream and then the meaning of the dream was revealed to me. And just recently on January 10th that night the Lord showed me the number 24 with a big capital L and I knew I was dreaming and I knew the Lord was showing me this and the 24L was floating around and around. I asked Jim "what does this mean I don't know what this means" and his voice said "24-hours left" but still father I don't know what this means! Does this just mean that time is short? I hope so! Please help me to pray for God to hasten the time and to not delay to putting an end to this evil world. THANK YOU WITH ALL MY HEART 🙏💕
With all due respect and humility, it is not our place to ask God to end the world. 24 hours left in your dream could mean live each day in the Holy Spirit, as after all, each day we are given is a day we have to strive for redemption.
Gods done so much for me, I’m thankful for his, patience with me and his kindness, the fact that he lets me a sinner wake up each day and try again. Every time I take a breath, hug my children, kiss my wife, see my mother. Everyday the things we take for granted are amazing gifts that sometimes we miss until something reminds us. Gods grace is so that it could never be measured. I thank God he is not like us, that he doesn’t love like human, but far greater than man can know or reach. His ways are higher than mine.
I often feel guilty coming here after committing the sin I've spent a year trying (and mostly failing) to drive out. I feel as though I don't deserve God's mercy and love and what terrifies me is that it makes me think I shouldn't even pray for mercy. I can tell if this is something evil influencing me or if I feel that because of how often I pray for forgiveness of this sin, God already knows what I'm going to say and it's repetitive garbage at this point. I repeatedly try to pick myself up only to fall very shortly thereafter. I'm genuinely afraid, mostly of what will become of me and what I will do in the future. And yet, I still do so little to stop it. Pardon my rambling and what may seem like me asking for sympathy, but I ask you, please pray for me. I can't live with this anymore and I forever regret the day I let myself be first tempted by it. I've gone to multiple confessions and each time, it feels as though its grasp on me grows more and more. No matter what pain what it brings me, I still go back to it. I ask again, please pray for me.
Seek relief at the point of temptation. Before you may commit non referenced sin,pray consciously,earnestly, insightfully,listening with your whole being,praying with your whole being,Lord Jesus Christ,Son of God,have mercy on me,a sinner. Repeat this prayerful response always,anytime,everytime consciously, intelligently, reverently, to pull you away from un-named sin and pull into perspective God's never-ending all desiring love for you,his Creation. Continue with this,no matter,with this approach,the Jesus Prayer, any an everytime to exchange darkness for light. Stagnation for spiritual growth an maturity. Cultivating perspective an hopeful maturity in growth of God's refreshing love. For hope an strength,in Jesus name, that you turn away an go forth an live a life "grounded" in a conscious reliance upon our God's strength an desire for you. Plus reach for an read your Holy Bible daily. Allowing the living word of God to further flourish in your mind and soul friend. Shalom. "...of them,whom wish to follow must take up their cross.." "Come to me,those who labor an are heavy laden....take upon ye my yoke, for I am meek an humble of heart"
Also friend in Christ,Father Spyridon's video,aptly titled,"The Jesus Prayer" is recommended. In Jesus holy name,you are very welcome friend in Christ. Shalom.
"Obedience to the commands of God are the bare minimums to the spiritual life." There is great freedom found in this proclamation. Ahmein. Father Spyridon Ahmein. Glory to the Father an to the Son Jesus an to the Holy Spirit. Allejuhah!
You are the one of the most humble nothing in the world that serve God together we stand divided we fall humility and simplicity are everything that God gives us free will to do with this we get closer and closer to doing his will be done ❤️🙏
".....that worldly security is an illusion; that it can be stripped away so quickly, bad health, etc." Wow, that's what 2020 and going forward was/is all about. God showing us what is really important is obedience to His will, so that no matter what happens good or bad we still have His will to be done.
Great message! I’ve struggled with trying to be perfect with God, but I have to remind myself we’re not perfect, but we can try our best. Father mentioned free will. I had a Protestant tell me recently we don’t have free will. Sorry, but I don’t think God would have made us automatons.
As a protestant, I have been learning and growing as a follower of the Christ. Protestant teaching had become stale and mundane 4 me. I find we can grow from a diverse range of Christian teachers as long as we are mindful to line everything up with the holy scriptures, the ultimate microscope for truth.
This message you bring today was very powerful there’s a saying, there is one who has all power that one is God may find him now I’m walking on the roof in Thailand it’s 80° at night God bless your father and the spiritual Messenger you are.
Thank you so much Father for sharing with us the grace which Emanuel came to emanate, in His full majestic splendor... Jesus Christ thank You so much for teaching us the true essence, the splendor and awesome Face of our God in Heaven... peace be with Syrian child soldiers tonight and may He inspire His Eternal Hope in their hearts, and the Sacred Flame of the Holiest of Holiest erase trauma from the vision and hearing of their soul. Shaddai take mercy on the bones you crushed, so you may hear a joyful song of gratitude for the beauty of their lives. Thank you Christ for your gracious mercy! Thank you Christ for our salvation! Create a foundation of loving kindness for the temple of their bodies, and send your messenger to console their warring minds. Send your joyous visions of love and your True Nature my Lord, through the Revealer of Mysteries. May the mercy of your Logos be imprinted in their memories, so they remember not the horrors of war and genocide. Let dolls and toys be for the children, and admonish weapons to the depths of your raging earthly core. Wash the brains of the brainwashed oh God of Our Salvation, wash it with hyssop and justice and loving kindness, wash their hearts and minds so they will be whiter than snow. Raise up their internal defenses against the trauma of war, so that You may receive whole burnt offerings... not the burnt flesh of your children. Wash the brains of the brainwashed, God of the Heavens God of Our salvation... so bulls may be offered on your altar, from the righteous prosperity of your child soldiers, the orphans of your temple Shaddai El Chai, grant sanctuary my Lord, because only You have the power to grant such unimaginable heights of salvation. Grant with your endless power, so we may tell the world of Your greatness and generosity... grant Lord God, the deprogramming of Syrian children, kidnapped brainwashed brutalized and militarized by the Perverted Disgusting Violent Rapists... they who committed genocidal atrocities against the children of Syria. Arise, oh Mountain of the Holiest of Holies! Count your children, Good Shepherd, tally them all! Oh Revealer of Mysteries! Minister of the Arcane Truths regarding the Wisdom of the Limitless Light and Limitless Black Light! We beg for mercy, give us new visions of hope through God! Reveal and manifest the dreams of these children, the dreams of light goodness and love, which were forcibly taken from their hearts... only You have the power to fold in the sweet song of Your forgotten children into the symphony of the music of the spheres! Surely the music will be MORE demonstrative of the Beauty of Christ, surely the medical, therapeutic, and spirituality healing towers of Health can be made available to these, your besieged Children in need. Let the most brainwashed and brutalized minds of wars receive the salvation of Christ, and learn how to sing about beauty! Surely there is enough of your creation to satisfy the starving souls, my Lord. Let the minds broken by violence and souls broken with empty despair sing to Adonai on the Mountain of Shaddai El Chai! Let them witness the beauty of your Temple of the Sacred Flame of the One True Creator! Let the thousands of years of service of their fathers speak for their children, because they are Your children seeking their Father in Heaven%! Let them sing a new song of joy! Let their strong hearts and fragile voices join the heavenly Host, the constellated perfect creation of Adonai; let their voices reverberate with the harmonious melodies only You can inspire. On this Valentines Day, saint Valentine, please carry this prayer to the God of the Heavens so peace may dwell in tortured hearts and voices of the bones You crushed may rejoice! God of Elijah, Lord God of Powers, pour your water and fire on the broken altars of Aleppo, and every square kilometer of the country of your heart. Mother Wisdom and Understanding, we pray you spare the widows and orphans, but tonight’s Time, spare especially the child soldiers and sexual slaves of war. Only You LORD of Lords. Only You... drop your righteous fire upon the places You deem necessary so children can join normal society. God of Daniel, grant us the intervention of the Revealer of Mysteries, who gave him visions during the night... mercy for the trauma and scared terror during sleep, for those who need to know the consequences of inflicting pain on others, so they do not hurt others in real life, through apprehension of true consciousness and liberty and thus gain Gnosis of the Majestic Grace of God... grand them to know, feel Joy. Stamp and grant Stigmata for those must vulnerable. May the miraculous loving and healing Stamp, your Stigmata, the Physical Mark for Remembrance of your Salvation for those who go insane and get lost in self destruction, violence, and addiction death. Through Your unique Stigmata only You can grant, we can weather the ocean hurricanes and wind demons who fly in our soul... no matter what the depth of loss of control through insanity... stigmata reminds us we ARE inside inhabiting our personal bodies STILL, in spite of psychological disembodiment... stigmata is an ANCHOR to our physical bodies to remember to breathe, it is granted by lighting Anointing Oil every day in remembrance of God on that Day, so we remember we truly do inhabit our bodies. It is the Good News of Christ to learn your body is still yours in spite of being brainwashed, raped, and weaponized against your own families, left with a rock for a heart after being robbed of your childhood by being forced to take another Life. Brothers and sisters let’s pray for the lost children of Syria, let us remind God of His covenant, and send the fire sent to Elijah so you know You are God. Freedom now! Free your children with your Fiery Sword of Liberty! End it Now!!! Yah!!! Yah!!! Yah!!! Yah!!! In Jesus Christ name we pray, your servitor to Your Sacred Flame... Mama Aya! Tiamat! Leviathan and the Dragons of Eden! Morning Star! All One Holiest of Holies, awaken your fangs and ravenous claws to protect the children, as Your divine and sacred emanations, so these greater servants of our Holy God may chain the lesser lost servants from committing further evil, and strengthen our tents against wayward wind demons, Maris Tiamat to deny a home to that which is in Her and our fathers nature... liberation now, amen.
I listened to the Christian Family network on the radio couple of days ago. The caller, named Patrick asked the host about his wife who jumped off the building on January 10th, taking their 5-year daughter with her. "Will she be received by God". She was on anti-depressant medications, and I assume his question was if an impaired person committing a horrific act are mitigating circumstances in the question of heaven and hell. The Evangelical hosts were obviously unprepared for the caller, didn't offer much help for the grieving man, they recited the short prayer, and quickly moved on to commercial. I don't blame them, I was taken aback, probably all the listers were too ...what would you say to Patrick Father? I can't stop thinking about him and what is he going through.
Suicide is a sin which deprives us of the opportunity to repent - we are in effect, dying through the act of sin itself. But in all things we put our hope in God, and pray that whatever drugs or mental ill health is at work, the person is not beyond God's forgiveness. However, in saying this, we must not lose sight of reality - killing this way is a terrible sin regardless of circumstances.
These experiences are never easy to articulate even when we are not directly involved. I must commend you for having compassion and empathy for Patrick. I can tell you that not many people cared to think about him, after the call. I'm not a theologian so I'm no expert on GOD'S decisions, etc. I will however give you a testimony. The Bible says that we overcome by the Blood of the LAMB and our testimony. Many years ago, I heard the sermon about the paraplegic at the pool of Bethesda. The sermon concluded that he was lazy and was giving excuses for his situation, hence, the reason JESUS asked him 3 times, if he wanted to be healed. The sermon never sit well with me and I questioned GOD about the conclusion. Flash forward years after, I was in a situation where I was temporarily handicapped. I was frustrated because I couldn't get any help, not even from the people in my church. One night GOD woke me up and said, do you remember the question about the guy at the pool? I said yes, but what does it have to do with YOU waking me up? HE said, why don't you ask me? I said why should I? You're GOD and you already know. HE said, you have asked everyone else, except ME for help. I responded angrily, saying that YOU should know that I need help. HE said, JUST ASK ME. I DID. From that day forward, I got all the help I needed. Ask GOD the question, I can tell you WITHOUT hesitation, HE'S A GOOD FATHER. HE will answer according to HIS WILL. HE KNOWS OUR HEARTS and HIS decisions are JUST!
If you put the brethren in remembrance of these things, you will be a good minister. I for one was happy to be reminded of these things. The heart is decietful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? God will judge the fruits of our works, my own heart is not sufficient for such judgements.
I'm reluctant to watch your videos out of fear of despairing and excessive self-worry. It's like I can't live in peace having to remind myself what a horrible sinner I am and whipping myself to repent. Life is like a giant minefield of sin.
Sorry for jumping in but... Fasting and prayers... Buy prayer book and establish your own prayer rule. Read morning and evening prayers with utmost attention and follow rules of fasting as prescribed by The Church.
@@johnnyd2383 I am a catholic, it is kind of hard to find what the fasting rules for Orthodox would be. Would you be able to point me in the right direction please? 🙂. Which prayer book would you recommend?
@@bouseuxlatache4140 really? I read on a website that it would something along the lines of: fasting for 3 days prior to lent. Then only having 2 full meals on Wednesday and Friday. After that, abstaining from several food and following the regular Orthodox fast. That’s what I was planning to follow but IDK if it correct. God bless you too brother :)
@@F2222m Oops.! Sorry... I assumed you being Orthodox. Anyway, there are many prayer books out there. I personally like this one: svspress.com/orthodox-prayer-book-svit-white-english-slavonic/ Also, rules for fasting in Orthodoxy are hard/strict, especially Lenten ones. In any of our churches usually one can buy small annual church calendar with fasting rules for everyday. Prepare to become vegan... :o)))
THANK YOU FATHER!! ♥️ Speaking of obedience, I feel called to obey 1 Corinthians 11…I see you wear a covering when you speak to us bu the Holy Spirit, “prophesy” … How do you feel about removing your hat when you pray or prophesy? Thank you! You are so full of the wisdom of God ♥️
There is a big difference between obedience and stupidity. Like when obeying orders coming from someone which you know are a horrid level of wrongs that you are being expected to do too. Grace is no excuse for stupidity.
Very inspirational, yet difficult message to adhere to. It is a struggle. Father, how would one deal with spiritual fathers who have obedience to their bishops and/or primates, and said hierarchs follow government policies that diminish the Church and/or one's faith (e.g. not venerating icons, masks in church, separate spoons for communion, etc.). I had a lengthy discussion/debate with my own spiritual father on this, he would tell me he must be obedient to his bishop... it's a difficult position, I know, but at what point should one realize that the Author of Life really does supersede mortal authorities?
But who do we obey. I follow Jesus Christ. The Holy Bible. Anything else that does not add up with the Word of God is dangerous.. And not of God. Praise Jesus.
Father, I have a new house, and one of my icons keeps flying across the room and hits the ground. Does that mean anything? Sometimes six or seven feet away.
That's def demonic presence. I would seek a priest and keep on searching for one, don't give up if they turn you down. some just don't want to be bothered
Speaking of obedience, I do not feel any Orthodox Church should require masks to attend. It’s almost like comparing Gods house to a supermarket or liquor store. Not sure God wants people wearing muzzles during the liturgy. Where’s the faith? Thoughts?
I can not accept that the things we do as guided by the Spirit will still be full of pride and selfish motives. The Bible doesn't say that at all .. Not At all ... In fact a faith working by love produces the righteousness acceptable to God, there is no pride in humble submission to God's perfect Will. I find this self flogging as insulting to the purging work of the Holy Spirit. We can and must be pure at heart..... because we can be.
Brother, I think your comments are not entirely true. It's true, obedience to the commands of God CANNOT earn us anything in the context of justification (they are filthy rags in God's sight), but they do in sanctification; good works WILL earn us a good reward; the apostles write extensively about this in their epistles.

I’m Roman Catholic but I love watching your videos father. thank you for this one in particular. I needed to hear it
yea i dont see anything wrong with going outside of your normal setting
God bless you Father Spyridon 🙏🏼
Thank you Father Spyridon Oh what a miracle taht we have you as aou Orthodox spiritual father
You are the one of the most humble nothing in the world that serve God together we stand divided we fall humility and simplicity are everything that God gives us free will to do with this we get closer and closer to doing his will be done ❤️🙏
".....that worldly security is an illusion; that it can be stripped away so quickly, bad health, etc." Wow, that's what 2020 and going forward was/is all about. God showing us what is really important is obedience to His will, so that no matter what happens good or bad we still have His will to be done.
Great message! I’ve struggled with trying to be perfect with God, but I have to remind myself we’re not perfect, but we can try our best. Father mentioned free will. I had a Protestant tell me recently we don’t have free will. Sorry, but I don’t think God would have made us automatons.
Amin
As a protestant, I have been learning and growing as a follower of the Christ. Protestant teaching had become stale and mundane 4 me. I find we can grow from a diverse range of Christian teachers as long as we are mindful to line everything up with the holy scriptures, the ultimate microscope for truth.
Father, bless! Thank you for this message. I have never done anything good in His sight. Lord have mercy. 🙏🏻☦️
That was very eye-opening
Thank you Father Spyridon. God Bless.
Thank you Father.
So much to think about thank you

This message you bring today was very powerful there’s a saying, there is one who has all power that one is God may find him now I’m walking on the roof in Thailand it’s 80° at night God bless your father and the spiritual Messenger you are.

Thank you so much Father for sharing with us the grace which Emanuel came to emanate, in His full majestic splendor... Jesus Christ thank You so much for teaching us the true essence, the splendor and awesome Face of our God in Heaven... peace be with Syrian child soldiers tonight and may He inspire His Eternal Hope in their hearts, and the Sacred Flame of the Holiest of Holiest erase trauma from the vision and hearing of their soul. Shaddai take mercy on the bones you crushed, so you may hear a joyful song of gratitude for the beauty of their lives. Thank you Christ for your gracious mercy! Thank you Christ for our salvation! Create a foundation of loving kindness for the temple of their bodies, and send your messenger to console their warring minds. Send your joyous visions of love and your True Nature my Lord, through the Revealer of Mysteries. May the mercy of your Logos be imprinted in their memories, so they remember not the horrors of war and genocide. Let dolls and toys be for the children, and admonish weapons to the depths of your raging earthly core. Wash the brains of the brainwashed oh God of Our Salvation, wash it with hyssop and justice and loving kindness, wash their hearts and minds so they will be whiter than snow. Raise up their internal defenses against the trauma of war, so that You may receive whole burnt offerings... not the burnt flesh of your children. Wash the brains of the brainwashed, God of the Heavens God of Our salvation... so bulls may be offered on your altar, from the righteous prosperity of your child soldiers, the orphans of your temple Shaddai El Chai, grant sanctuary my Lord, because only You have the power to grant such unimaginable heights of salvation. Grant with your endless power, so we may tell the world of Your greatness and generosity... grant Lord God, the deprogramming of Syrian children, kidnapped brainwashed brutalized and militarized by the Perverted Disgusting Violent Rapists... they who committed genocidal atrocities against the children of Syria. Arise, oh Mountain of the Holiest of Holies! Count your children, Good Shepherd, tally them all! Oh Revealer of Mysteries! Minister of the Arcane Truths regarding the Wisdom of the Limitless Light and Limitless Black Light! We beg for mercy, give us new visions of hope through God! Reveal and manifest the dreams of these children, the dreams of light goodness and love, which were forcibly taken from their hearts... only You have the power to fold in the sweet song of Your forgotten children into the symphony of the music of the spheres! Surely the music will be MORE demonstrative of the Beauty of Christ, surely the medical, therapeutic, and spirituality healing towers of Health can be made available to these, your besieged Children in need. Let the most brainwashed and brutalized minds of wars receive the salvation of Christ, and learn how to sing about beauty! Surely there is enough of your creation to satisfy the starving souls, my Lord. Let the minds broken by violence and souls broken with empty despair sing to Adonai on the Mountain of Shaddai El Chai! Let them witness the beauty of your Temple of the Sacred Flame of the One True Creator! Let the thousands of years of service of their fathers speak for their children, because they are Your children seeking their Father in Heaven%! Let them sing a new song of joy! Let their strong hearts and fragile voices join the heavenly Host, the constellated perfect creation of Adonai; let their voices reverberate with the harmonious melodies only You can inspire. On this Valentines Day, saint Valentine, please carry this prayer to the God of the Heavens so peace may dwell in tortured hearts and voices of the bones You crushed may rejoice! God of Elijah, Lord God of Powers, pour your water and fire on the broken altars of Aleppo, and every square kilometer of the country of your heart. Mother Wisdom and Understanding, we pray you spare the widows and orphans, but tonight’s Time, spare especially the child soldiers and sexual slaves of war. Only You LORD of Lords. Only You... drop your righteous fire upon the places You deem necessary so children can join normal society. God of Daniel, grant us the intervention of the Revealer of Mysteries, who gave him visions during the night... mercy for the trauma and scared terror during sleep, for those who need to know the consequences of inflicting pain on others, so they do not hurt others in real life, through apprehension of true consciousness and liberty and thus gain Gnosis of the Majestic Grace of God... grand them to know, feel Joy. Stamp and grant Stigmata for those must vulnerable. May the miraculous loving and healing Stamp, your Stigmata, the Physical Mark for Remembrance of your Salvation for those who go insane and get lost in self destruction, violence, and addiction death. Through Your unique Stigmata only You can grant, we can weather the ocean hurricanes and wind demons who fly in our soul... no matter what the depth of loss of control through insanity... stigmata reminds us we ARE inside inhabiting our personal bodies STILL, in spite of psychological disembodiment... stigmata is an ANCHOR to our physical bodies to remember to breathe, it is granted by lighting Anointing Oil every day in remembrance of God on that Day, so we remember we truly do inhabit our bodies. It is the Good News of Christ to learn your body is still yours in spite of being brainwashed, raped, and weaponized against your own families, left with a rock for a heart after being robbed of your childhood by being forced to take another Life. Brothers and sisters let’s pray for the lost children of Syria, let us remind God of His covenant, and send the fire sent to Elijah so you know You are God. Freedom now! Free your children with your Fiery Sword of Liberty! End it Now!!! Yah!!! Yah!!! Yah!!! Yah!!! In Jesus Christ name we pray, your servitor to Your Sacred Flame... Mama Aya! Tiamat! Leviathan and the Dragons of Eden! Morning Star! All One Holiest of Holies, awaken your fangs and ravenous claws to protect the children, as Your divine and sacred emanations, so these greater servants of our Holy God may chain the lesser lost servants from committing further evil, and strengthen our tents against wayward wind demons, Maris Tiamat to deny a home to that which is in Her and our fathers nature... liberation now, amen.
Thank you for this video father i needed to hear this, may God bless you always.. One day would you consider sharing on marriage?
6:04, quotations of the saints.
Thank you
You are one of a handful that speak the truth. These televangelists are merely tickling their audiences ears.
Soooo true.
sound teaching
thank u
Every time you speak your wisdom the breath is knocked out of my chest yet I am not as humbled as I should be
May Christ have mercy on us all
Please pray for me I’ve been struggling with alcohol and it’s caused me lots of problems
I listened to the Christian Family network on the radio couple of days ago. The caller, named Patrick asked the host about his wife who jumped off the building on January 10th, taking their 5-year daughter with her. "Will she be received by God". She was on anti-depressant medications, and I assume his question was if an impaired person committing a horrific act are mitigating circumstances in the question of heaven and hell. The Evangelical hosts were obviously unprepared for the caller, didn't offer much help for the grieving man, they recited the short prayer, and quickly moved on to commercial. I don't blame them, I was taken aback, probably all the listers were too ...what would you say to Patrick Father? I can't stop thinking about him and what is he going through.
Suicide is a sin which deprives us of the opportunity to repent - we are in effect, dying through the act of sin itself. But in all things we put our hope in God, and pray that whatever drugs or mental ill health is at work, the person is not beyond God's forgiveness. However, in saying this, we must not lose sight of reality - killing this way is a terrible sin regardless of circumstances.
These experiences are never easy to articulate even when we are not directly involved.
I must commend you for having compassion and empathy for Patrick. I can tell you that not many people cared to think about him, after the call.
I'm not a theologian so I'm no expert on GOD'S decisions, etc. I will however give you a testimony. The Bible says that we overcome by the Blood of the LAMB and our testimony.
Many years ago, I heard the sermon about the paraplegic at the pool of Bethesda. The sermon concluded that he was lazy and was giving excuses for his situation, hence, the reason JESUS asked him 3 times, if he wanted to be healed. The sermon never sit well with me and I questioned GOD about the conclusion.
Flash forward years after, I was in a situation where I was temporarily handicapped. I was frustrated because I couldn't get any help, not even from the people in my church.
One night GOD woke me up and said, do you remember the question about the guy at the pool? I said yes, but what does it have to do with YOU waking me up?
HE said, why don't you ask me? I said why should I? You're GOD and you already know.
HE said, you have asked everyone else, except ME for help. I responded angrily, saying that YOU should know that I need help.
HE said, JUST ASK ME.
I DID. From that day forward, I got all the help I needed.
Ask GOD the question, I can tell you WITHOUT hesitation, HE'S A GOOD FATHER. HE will answer according to HIS WILL.
HE KNOWS OUR HEARTS and HIS decisions are JUST!
If you put the brethren in remembrance of these things, you will be a good minister. I for one was happy to be reminded of these things. The heart is decietful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? God will judge the fruits of our works, my own heart is not sufficient for such judgements.
I finally see it. I fight against myself.
I'm reluctant to watch your videos out of fear of despairing and excessive self-worry. It's like I can't live in peace having to remind myself what a horrible sinner I am and whipping myself to repent. Life is like a giant minefield of sin.
If you have shame you have a chance. The key is humility.
🙋👏👏👏👍👍👋
Thankyou🎉😂❤
Great video! Could you tolk more about free will, freedom, our (free) time and energies, please?
Father Spyridon, what can we do as lay people during lent to grow closer to God? What would you recommend?
Sorry for jumping in but... Fasting and prayers... Buy prayer book and establish your own prayer rule. Read morning and evening prayers with utmost attention and follow rules of fasting as prescribed by The Church.
@@johnnyd2383 I am a catholic, it is kind of hard to find what the fasting rules for Orthodox would be. Would you be able to point me in the right direction please? 🙂. Which prayer book would you recommend?
@@F2222m It is not different during Lent. Just try to set yourself goals you can achieve. God bless
@@bouseuxlatache4140 really? I read on a website that it would something along the lines of: fasting for 3 days prior to lent. Then only having 2 full meals on Wednesday and Friday. After that, abstaining from several food and following the regular Orthodox fast. That’s what I was planning to follow but IDK if it correct. God bless you too brother :)
@@F2222m Oops.! Sorry... I assumed you being Orthodox. Anyway, there are many prayer books out there. I personally like this one: svspress.com/orthodox-prayer-book-svit-white-english-slavonic/
Also, rules for fasting in Orthodoxy are hard/strict, especially Lenten ones. In any of our churches usually one can buy small annual church calendar with fasting rules for everyday. Prepare to become vegan... :o)))
THANK YOU FATHER!! ♥️
Speaking of obedience, I feel called to obey 1 Corinthians 11…I see you wear a covering when you speak to us bu the Holy Spirit, “prophesy” … How do you feel about removing your hat when you pray or prophesy?
Thank you! You are so full of the wisdom of God ♥️
There is a big difference between obedience and stupidity. Like when obeying orders coming from someone which you know are a horrid level of wrongs that you are being expected to do too. Grace is no excuse for stupidity.
whoever abide in him ought to walk just as he walked.
Very inspirational, yet difficult message to adhere to. It is a struggle. Father, how would one deal with spiritual fathers who have obedience to their bishops and/or primates, and said hierarchs follow government policies that diminish the Church and/or one's faith (e.g. not venerating icons, masks in church, separate spoons for communion, etc.).
I had a lengthy discussion/debate with my own spiritual father on this, he would tell me he must be obedient to his bishop... it's a difficult position, I know, but at what point should one realize that the Author of Life really does supersede mortal authorities?
But who do we obey.
I follow Jesus Christ.
The Holy Bible.
Anything else that does not add up with the Word of God is dangerous..
And not of God.
Praise Jesus.
Father, I have a new house, and one of my icons keeps flying across the room and hits the ground. Does that mean anything? Sometimes six or seven feet away.
That's def demonic presence. I would seek a priest and keep on searching for one, don't give up if they turn you down. some just don't want to be bothered
The commandments. Is it reffering to the 10 commandments?
The commandment of Jesus is love
what commandments are you referring to? the 10?
Father you said none of us is good. But aren't saints good?=
Hello, Father Spyridon. Is there an email address that one can contact you at? I have a brief question that I'd like to ask you in private. Thank you.
Do you want to make god laugh?? Tell him YOUR plans.
Speaking of obedience, I do not feel any Orthodox Church should require masks to attend. It’s almost like comparing Gods house to a supermarket or liquor store. Not sure God wants people wearing muzzles during the liturgy. Where’s the faith? Thoughts?
Fr. Peter Heers is doing a wonderful job of exposing this evil. He is on TH-cam and Patreon.
Obedience to God? Yes. Obedience to man? No.
I can not accept that the things we do as guided by the Spirit will still be full of pride and selfish motives. The Bible doesn't say that at all .. Not At all ... In fact a faith working by love produces the righteousness acceptable to God, there is no pride in humble submission to God's perfect Will. I find this self flogging as insulting to the purging work of the Holy Spirit. We can and must be pure at heart..... because we can be.
Also it's just an excuse for being unrepentant
Brother, I think your comments are not entirely true. It's true, obedience to the commands of God CANNOT earn us anything in the context of justification (they are filthy rags in God's sight), but they do in sanctification; good works WILL earn us a good reward; the apostles write extensively about this in their epistles.
There’s no teaching that works earn us any rewards. That’s not why we do works.
Btw, you should address him as Father, not Brother. He’s a priest.
@@TheRealRealOK oh what if he is also priest can he call father syprion brother?
Thank you
