Why not look into Orthodoxy? Afterall, the Catholic church was simply the 5th patriarchate of the original Orthodox Church as it was established, which fell away. I mean no offense, but when looking at the church history and how Father Spyridon's words clearly move your heart, perhaps it means that you were looking for the depth and soundness that Orthodoxy can offer.
Bless you Father Spyridon. Your words are pure water on the burning wounds of my passions. I have sought many spiritual experiences in my life and chased countless fantasies to serve my own fallen pride. Please pray for me, a sinner.
You're not the only one... The spiritual pop culture contributes to this. But glad that you've continued to seek, else you wouldn't be here. I frequently say that we've all been tainted in this culture, to one extent or another. We're all supposed to be so strong and confident, speaking clearly and directly at places of our work and worship alike, that it's so easy to get caught up in. For myself, this message is right on target, and right on time.
"We're so busy sinning we're so busy chasing fantasies that their work is done in our lives." So true! When I sin the demons stop bothering me. When I seek holiness they come back.
sensuality is beast lust... its when you sniff and dominate sexually... like the beasts that tear feathers off their mates... make them bleed on their skin through intersex... and far worse... its being an absolute beasterd sexually related...
6 minutes of condensed wisdom! Thank you for the encouragement. I'm sick of smug pastors who think they are an encyclopaedia of spiritual experiences that want to impress their gullible flock with.
I feel one of the worst sins of pride is to learn the history of the Church and convince yourself that your own interpretation of scripture is somehow better than more than 2000 years of tradition and the teachings of the saints - then lead others onto your path of spiritual delusion. It is hard for me to not judge protestant "pastors" for this. I pray for humility and the ability to show love..
Thank you dear Father for a wonderful talk. You put our minds at rest on so many matters, l always feel like a beginner, even after over fourty years, and usually worry that I am not getting anywhere! Yes, the simple Christian life, that must be the way,God bless 🙏🙏🙏
God bless you, Father Spyridon!! This world has thrown me for a loop - even though I always believed in our Lord, Jesus Christ. However, in the past couple of years my life has transformed once I started to allow pride and ego to go by the wayside (something I still work on daily!!). It's only then that humility started to enter my life. All of your videos reinforce my Christian Orthodox beliefs!! So humbling to see people use the internet for good!! Thank you always for all you do for us!!!
Matt 6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
a great message. I am guilty of what you said. Spiritual prelest. Seeking spiritual experience and sensualism once i surpassed the material ones. Thank you for what you do Father Spyridon.
I live far away from my church and haven’t been able to go to liturgy in a long time. These videos really help me with my faith when I can’t get there. Thank you so much Father!🙏☦️
Open your Bible and read and study. Stop being reliant upon the devil interjecting himself as intermediary between you and God. What kind of personal relationship is that? You do not even get to know Him on a personal level?
@@seanregehr4921 I think that one must have the humility and responsibility to not try and reinterpret the scriptures when reading them for oneself, as this is a manifestation of pride. ("I can see something here that no-one else can. I must be chosen by God to bring enlightenment to the masses!")
@@seanregehr4921 Sean if you are saying this from inside of the Protestant Movement (with your "personal relationship" talk), just so you know, you are not a Christian. Stop trying to confuse actual Christians!
GLORY TO JESUS CHRIST! Thank you Spyridon for this video! So much wisdom in a such a short video! Thank you! God Bless You Spyridon! God Bless You who is reading this comment!
I realized that even with all this technology and fancy buildings we are still dealing with the same exact problems as the people were 2000 years ago. The problems have continued unchanged and yet we act as though we are somehow different or better than the people back then were.
You hit the nail on the head brother. No matter the technology, man will always go through life just like people went through life 2000 years ago. We need to understand the things that matter most in life.
As a person that had a life filled with woman, alcohol gambling i find these small sermons amazing. I heard carismatic, baptists and so on, but these realy tuch my heart. i have started the journey of repemtence anld belife in Christ and this youtube chanel realy help me. I will seek a church, ortodox it seem will be whats best for me.
Fr. Spyridon, I just finished your book Orthodoxy and the Kingdom of Satan. I've never encountered such a condensed distillation of the "New World Order", and it was incredibly refreshing to have this agenda exposed explicitly from the perspective of Orthodoxy. I have recommended it to all of my friends and would recommend anyone reading this comment to purchase a copy. God bless 🙏
Thank you Ben, i appreciate it. Do you think you could leave a review on Amazon - they have a great effect in helping the book reach people. God bless you.

Thank you, father Spyridon. You are a true gift of God and an angelic voice on our human path to salvation. May God bless you, and may your evangelistic work touch and guide many other souls back to Heaven, in Christ name we pray, Amen ☦️💜
I always like the sheep or goats bleating in the background and the birds...Thank you Preist for your videos and love of the Most High GOD and IESOUS/Jesus/Yeshua..
Amen I love this message. We are meant to be new creations in Christ after all. Renewed everyday. Spiritually leveling up is a delusion I've been caught in several times even after becoming a Christian.
I still have alot to learn brother in Christ and you told me something important. You are right what u said about this world and being conditioned. I have this one sin that is hard to break I struggled with for years its breaking me down. 😢
Father i just finished reading your book “Journey to Mount Athos” and was immediately hit with sorrwful, despairing news. i am very grateful for your work and would be eternally grateful for your prayers. my username is my real name.
I'm also Roman Catholic but I love listening to you Father, you make so much sense. Thank you for you're inspiration that opens my heart to God.Blessings to you.
Thank you Father, this has been a major conversation in my family, gaining humility, humbleness..that Christ like love for our enemies that is so difficult to put into practice..instead of lashing out against the person who is hurting us. I was called a “Baby Christian “ from someone who is more learned in scripture than I, but from reading the lives of the Saints, I get the feeling it was more about living for Christ and his commandments then just being able to repeat what he said. So again Father, thank you for this confirmation. God bless you🙏🏾
Thank you for all the beautiful videos .pray for me Lost my son 3 years ago he was 22 than my 29 year old had a massive stroke.my name is Evangelia and my Angel in heaven name is Vangeli and my son had the stroke name is Vasillis.pray for me for I am a sinner .Your words are full of wisdom .Κιριε Ελεισον
Father Spyridon is hard core and kind at the same time.
This sermon is - as usual - a slap to the face but also a comforting message.
A comforting slap to the face
Orthodoxy itself is pretty hard core.
I love hearing all those animals singing in the background!
I'm a Roman Catholic, but I never miss one of Father Spyridon's talks.
Same but now Orthodox
christan is christian. It's what you belive and what is your heart.
I'm Roman Catholic too.
I never miss a video too,
I take such from these!
Pope John Paul II said R. Catholicism and Orthodox are 2 lungs of same body.
christian with no flavours

So beautifully stated. I’ve done the same thing, too. Lord have mercy on us all.
May Lord have mercy on all us pathetic sinners.
You're always here to wake us up, what more could we ask of God when we have someone like you Father?
Pray for me, I'm full of pride
Yes, us too! ☦️
There is no human being without pride. Pray pray pray that the Lord will help us overcome our ego.
You’re the only person I’ve ever heard talk about this “spiritual sensuality” but I think it’s so true. I’m certainly guilty of this.

His soft voice speaks and I understand.
We should act as beginners in the faith, because we experienced true joy at that time! Glory to God!
This is very true, we must not seek self pride but only self forgivness, humility and love towards God. Thank you Father and God bless you!
FYI - Forgiveness is only delayed judgment. It is better altogether to be pardoned if you are guilty, and better yet to not do the wrong at the first.

The sting of reality is a good elixir, thank you for your insights and for caring enough to share with us!

Well it’s been two years how are you doing?
Brother Spyridon always dishes out in his lectures, spiritual nuggets!
Very good teaching, humbling and challenging. Needs several listenings to sink in.
Very true, it must be listened to several times. It is a lot of spiritual wisdom in 8 minutes.
Convict my soul. ☺️ Thank you Father.

Father thank you
Fr. Spyridon you calm me down and take me away from the stress of the world. Bless your Heart
I'm sorry but "bless your heart" is equivalent to cursing someone out in the south US.
Humans love to speak of Progress without the slightest idea of where they are going.
Even though I'm a Catholic I listen closely to Fr Spyridon's messages. God bless.
Thankyou Father
Had this on my watch later since it came out but didn't end up watching it until now. God knows I need it more now than I did then
Thank you Brother. Keep these videos coming ..May the power of the Almighty Father Bless You always and forever. AMEN
