Father Spyridon, I love the work that God does through you. I would like guidance on some things, and there is no parish near enough for my family to attend. If there is any way to contact you, (I know you are incredibly busy) I would love to speak with you. I am not Orthodox, but conversion is my ultimate goal for my family and I.
FrSpyridon I΄ve been watching your videos for a long time now. I have a question somehow irrelevant. If its possible I want to know what kind of equipment you use to create your videos. (microphone, camera etc).
@@FatherSpyridonROCOR I just wanted to say that I would have never converted without you. I was baptized into the Orthodox Church two months ago, on April the 27th, and you were part of why I converted a long time ago. I saw you on UA-cam when I was a truth seeker, who did not subscribe to a specific religion even though I knew one of them must be correct, and started watching your videos. I loved them and they helped me through my life despite the fact I was not yet Christian. But one of your videos, the one about Satanic attacks, inspired me to learn more about Orthodox Christianity. As I was studying the theology of Orthodox Christianity one UA-cam, I found a book about the life of Saint Paisios. I read it as I continued studying Orthodox Christianity and that's when I decided that Orthodox Christianity was the truth. Nearly a year later, I was baptized into the Church. You were essential for my conversion to the faith so I definitely owe you a lot for that. Thank you, Father.
@@TheActualCorrectOpinion I celebrate with you over your reception into Christ’s Church, and I am grateful to know I may have played a small part in it. God bless you.
God called out Abraham to serve him and create a group of people to serve God. And he was from the land that is now called modern-day Iraq 🇮🇶 blessings in the Risen Christ Jesus 🔥 🙏
I am as well but I feel like the Fathers in Christian Orthodox are the most wise and understanding of spirituality and the soul. Never have I ever heard a protestant or Catholic speak like they do.
@@bartididthatthis is why I want to convert to Christian Orthodox, I grew up non denominational and loved my brothers and sisters but it’s too secular anymore. The talk, the way the church wants to mimic certain secular things, I now know what I was missing out on - the sacred holiness a church holds.
@@daneharshman8275 I'm prot but I'm very pluralistic when it comes to catholic and orthodoxy but it's hard because I either need to buy into the papacy or the denial of the folioque, I'm more likely to convert to catholic mainly because of the folioque but also because I don't have any local orthodox churches
Such an important topic. Also important to pray even if you are unsure what to say, remember, prayer doesn’t have to be a formal speech or an essay. Like a loving parent, God would rather you chat inarticulate gibberish and to acknowledge Him than to not acknowledge or talk to Him at all. ☦️
Very true. Jesus says that our prayers must not be too long for pagans believe that they will be heard because of their many words, but God all mighty already knows what we want and need before we ask Him.
@@uncagedzebra6941much easier to keep it short. The prayer should be clear though and no gibberish and directed to the Father. As father Spyridon said we must remember the seriousness of who we are adressing with our prayers.
@@jamesbancroft2467 Friend the Lord knows your needs and words before you ask them. Dont worry about your words, just cry out to the Lord. Not praying won't do much, but praying shows God that you care.Just start with short prayer andd go from there. I am praying for you now.
There is a prayer in Russian prayer book for someone suffering from distraction, inattention, carelessness in prayer (my translation): "Lord, gather my scattered mind and cleanse my frozen heart, like Peter giving me repentance, like a tax collector lamentation, like a harlot's tears, yes, I call You with a great voice, o Lord, save me, for You are the One Compassionate and Lover of Man."
My husband is not a believer and we’ve been married 11 years, he really struggles, I try to be patient, I’ve thought of leaving but thinking ahead and constant prayer for him, me and our marriage- I could never give up on him.
I have been fasting and praying with Jesus alone the past 3 days and have received what I needed and thank him for that. It has been very difficult but can do anything through Christ!!!
Dear Father Spyridon.... Thank you for your words of advice. Unwanted thoughts have plagued me since childhood. Reading the Philokalia has given me much comfort. Regarding unwanted thoughts, Abba Moses replied to Germanos: 'It is impossible for the mind not to be troubled by these thoughts. But if we exert ourselves it is within our power either to accept them and give them our attention, or to expel them. Their coming is not within our power to control, but their expulsion is."
You're right, the basic thoughts do tend to overflow, but other times the enemy truly tries to put real negative evil unwanted thoughts into our minds during prayer as well, I need to focus on God more so I can not allow the enemy to put such thoughts into my mind,
My iPhone has become my biggest distraction! I woke up so angry at the grief & heartbreak it has brought me that the thought of throwing it against the wall crossed my mind. 😭
Even just during this video, I found my thoughts wandering as usual. But for anyone reading this who is curious how to PAY ATTENTION = recite the words you hear coming from Fr. Spyridon’s mouth. Say them in your head and you will remain focused. God Bless.
Thank you Father. This topic is one that I needed to hear. The Holy Spirit definitely has moved you to give us this message at this time! May God bless us all in our walk in faith to get closer to Him.
The seriousness of christ is something ive been struggling with , may he humble us all and bring us struggle to develop qnd grow us remember all we have is a gift, we dont deserve him and its about him
Thank you father. I have been going to an Orthodox Church for 3 weeks now. I was raised Protestant. But through your teachings, and that of the Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel, I have come to find that I was missing alot from my faith. Orthodoxy is truth, not a denomination. How could it be? Being as she is older than that of the Roman Catholic Church. For she is the Church, the true Church of Christ. Amen.
The devil truly doesn’t have to do much to get us distracted anymore. I think most people feel trapped in their own lives. Everything we’re surrounded with. Even thought we want to be better and just focus on Him, it seems impossible at times. But I guess that’s the struggle, not an excuse but our test.
Was just in prayer and then I happen to see this video in my recommendation feed, While I was in Prayer asking God to fill me with his Holy Spirit a thought came to mind, telling me to Be still, Know that I am God. "Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth"-Psalm 46:10, While I was this video another Bible verse came to mind 2 Corinthians 10:5, These are the Bible verses we must meditate on if we unwanted thoughts during our Prayers. God bless you Father Spyridon for your sound wisdom and insight.
Thank you, Fr Spyridon! Your counsel is such a blessing. I am glad God has granted you health and recovery from your surgery so you continue to help us who are struggling! ☦God be with you.
Good man my teacher for maybe the last 10 years . My whole life in USA 40 years haven’t found anyone with more knowledge or wisdom he is a modern saint to me
Thank you father I needed to learn to be disciplined and to stay calm and sober during prayer and not just praying cause I’m joyful. I also learned to keep Christ in my thoughts to not let thoughts dwell in me. This has really helped me thank you god bless.
every one got unique realating with god i thinks and unique is that telessis or meaning that god sends us back they are some times so one of kind i remember from years back
This is something I've struggled with since childhood. It made me think I was destined for hell. I'm glad I'm not the only one. Thank you for this video
Father Spyridion . I thank you . Ive been dugesting your words for many months now but 2 months ago my mother was un*alived by her fiancé . Your words mean a lot to me and you have helped me keep my head afloat . I still have much to learn . Especially about forgiveness . I am seriously thinking of going to my local orthodox church on sunday , I believe I will go when I am ready . I long for a feeling of community . I will blossom .
The Orthodox Church provides a lot of means for us to help the departed. Taking Holy Communion, repeating the Jesus prayer for yourself and the departed "Lord Jesus Christ Son of God have mercy on your departed servant
You're teachings are so powerful, I have never heard or seen anyone on UA-cam teach as powerful of a message as you have done, and continue to do. God bless you and keep you.
I have recently given up PMO with the help of god and love him for that. The devil is very upset with that and is attacking me in my dreams with nocturnal emissions and as I become stronger through Christ I am being attacked by stronger evils. I will prevail through the strength of Christ and continue following his word fighting off these attacks. It makes me laugh almost how hard he is trying to get to me to fall and I say NO!!!!!

I was on a bit of a ramble there, but I had to get it off my chest.
Have mercy on me Lord a sinner of sinners. I regret my life has not brought you glory and I chased the things of this world. It was all futility. You my Lord and Father are everything to me. Who am I that you are mindful of me , a worm???
Many of my prayers throughout the years have been interrupted by thoughts of guilt, sex, cheat and shame I wish to be able to dedicate my mind to the Lord but I wish to be free of these sins that plague me.
“Our thoughts determine our whole life. If our thoughts are destructive, we will have no peace. If they are quiet, meek, and simple, our life will be the same, and we will have peace within us. It will radiate from us and influence all beings around us.” - Elder Thaddeus of Vitovnica
I am constantly attacked daily. When I pray there’s a part of my mind that has snide and even boastfulness saying that God isn’t real. It is there when I go to Divine Liturgy. It constantly assails me and it’s unbearable, I want to follow God, I love him. But this external voice constantly attacks me and distracts me. If anyone else feels this way or deals with this I pray for you.
Thank you Lord Jesus that you make me see this video. You know my heart Lord and what I truly need 🙏❤ and Thank you father Spyridon for this and all videos
I'm Catholic, and this has happened to me many times. I always believed it was demons interfering with my thoughts. I always asked God to take away these unwanted thoughts.
