As an Orthodox priest I must remind all of you that prayer is also a stuggle a war against the forces of evil. Many people experience demonic attacks but it is essential to persevere. May the Lord bless your spiritual journey.

@@paulwilliams9207 I am certain that God will bless and reward your faith and your efforts. Remember that there will be times when you feel that God is no longer close to you. Do not worry.

This organization, monastery icons, is a heretic group of “Christians” that are pretty much Hindus. Don’t buy their “icons”, they do some demonic ritual on them before shipping. If you don’t believe me look up their “monastery” it’s called light of the spirit monastery.
I am a convert to the Orthodox church...two years ago after a tragic event. I was a protestant. I have never been closer to God. It is challenging but so fruitful and full of blessings. And yes men are called to the orthodox church because it requires more from them.
I am Catholic ,love Orthodox faith,I am praying Rosary every day,and 2 weeks ago I start praying Jesus prayer,because I never heard about before God bless you,🙏🏻☦️🙏🏻
Bless you convert, I remember saying what have I converted into this very difficult and so much to learn. Now 30+ plus years it’s all been more than worth, stay the course!
I am greek orthadox and use my grammas old catholic rosary and not a greek prayer rope. I assume it makes no difference but my wife always comments on it lol. I have been thinking of removing the spaces and centre link to make it more like a prayer rope but its just so beautiful i cant bring myself to do it.
I know this post is a year old. But, I just stumbled upon it. I’m Catholic, and pray the holy rosary every day and will continue to do so until the day I die.. ( I’m a big advocate for its use ) After all, It was a gift from our Blessed mother. But as of recent, I’ve begun praying the Jesus payer as well. I have a great deal of respect for the Orthodox faith, watch many Orthodox videos, and consider them to my my brothers and sisters in Christ. In my humble opinion, why can’t you do both. Many people within the eastern catholic rites do both interchangeably everyday. I’m not a theologian by no means whatsoever. But, Other than the Fatima prayer, which has been added to the Roman Catholic rosary of recent decades. I don’t see anything within the rosary that contradicts orthodox teachings. (If I’m wrong, please correct me) May God Bless you my friend. And as someone else had written, I pray you didn’t damage your Grandmothers rosary.
Having originally been byzantine rite catholic and now an eastern orthodox Christian I do both as well. My orthox pastor saw nothing wrong with continuing my devotion to saying the rosary. Recently I came across several videos on UA-cam for saying the Byzantine Rosary. It's quite beautiful. The priest uses the Byzantine Angelic Salutation ,byzantine Hail Mary. My step daughter and I say it every evening.
I am going to get my first choice or prayer rope as soon as possible. I read the Way of the Pilgrim at least two times, it really inspired me to start reciting the Jesus Prayer.
The way of the pilgrim. I will pray for God to put that book in my path, so I can learn more sinner that I am. I will look for it next week. God bless for this new lead on my pilgrimage. Thank you brother.

Thank you for sharing your vision of Jesus. When I was a child, a friend suffered a terrible accident, colliding on his horse with a boy on his minibike. My friend was knocked unconscious by the fall. The injured boy on his motorbike was quite large, more like a man, and he was covered in blood and weaving down the road when I saw him and took him to his parents' house. They were in shock and right away thought I had hit the boy. Thankfully, the boy was coherent enough to tell them of the collision on the trails with the horse and rider. I should add that my unconscious friend had invited me to love Jesus just as his father, a pastor, had invited him. I accepted the invitation and attended his father's vacation Bible church but at the time, I had no idea it was my friend on the trails, alone and unconscious. When my friend showed up to school bandaged, I was in shock to learn it was he whose horse had been hit by the motorbike. Upon learning of my encounter with the boy who had struck him, my friend became disappointed I didn't find him. Feeling his pain, I prayed that night for God to give me something tangible to take as evidence of His existence. I heard and felt his positive affirmation, which stunned me, and in the days that followed I began receiving signs in Math classes that invited me to pursue this evidence further. Images of expansion and rotation were calling out for greater clarity within Descarte's coordinate map and the Pi approximate 355/113. My search took me to Japan where I met my wife; it soon became clear on our first date that she held the most important piece of the puzzle. When it comes to charge and quantum behaviors they say the action occurs on the boundary. Her father was a potter and he gave me a turn at the wheel. Quickly I realized with the spin of the wheel all the action occurs on the boundary where hand meets clay. Following clue after clue led my wife Kumiko to discover the mathematically true cross that has been hinted at for centuries since the time of Constantine and his mother Helena's discovery at Golgotha. Kumiko's nickname in Japanese is 935 as it bears a numerical resemblance to Chi, the expansion represented by the cross's column. My nickname, Blake, bears a numerical resemblance to Pi in 3.14159. and phonetically hints at "Ro" as an abbreviation for "rotation". The arrow of time is represented by a knot which forms where expansion (Phi) meets rotation (Pi), and symbolized by an emblem depicting the juxtaposition of Chi and Ro in early Christian symbolism. Within this arrow of time, a cross can be discerned whose numerical measurements of cross interval expansion sum of 935 and the sum of the orbital vertices 505, hint at Christ's name 935-505 or JES SUS and the concept of Alpha, expansion and Omega, arrival at a new beginning. Within a short time after the mathematical hints began arriving, an image of Christ and Pi appeared in our home and it is still there to this day giving us encouragement to promote the healing and vigilance of the Holy Cross, the True Cross.
Never heard before! Prayer Rope? Is it helpful for Heaven? Many things make me confused, my faith may go down like a rock. What could I do and believe strongly? I am the Prayer Joseph!!
Please tell me the words to say when making the sign of the cross, and the words to say when going over the 1-3-1 beads before getting onto the 10 beads or deca. Thank you kindly.
In my opinion, of course. I have mala beads (Buddhist beads) that I use as well as dhikr beads. From my understanding the point is to keep you repeating the prayer by keeping count.
@@MonasteryIcons what Jesus prayer do I say, should I say lord Jesus Christ son of god have mercy on me a sinner or lord Jesus Christ have mercy on me.
Holy Bible, Deuteronomy 5.8-9 : Do not make for yourselves images of anything in heaven or on earth or in the water under the earth. Do not bow down to any idol or worship it, for I am the LORD your God and I tolerate no rivals, ...
How is saying the name of Jesus idolatry it isn't! Jesus Christ the Son of the Father, God from God light from light true God of true God. begotten not made.
Maybe you don't understand meditation. It's the clearing of the mind. I would absolutely say that the repetitious quality of the Jesus prayer clears the mind to open it to God.
He says unceasing prayer. This is one interpretation of that. Some people don't follow paul, btw, as he may or may not have met Jesus. His vision can be interpreted in many ways.
@@peterjackbenson yes, that means to always be in a relationship, not mindless ritualistic prayer. And for orthodox, they are definitely Pauline christians.
Prayer is the opening up of the heart to God, as a friend. Useless repetitive phrases are not how you communicate with people, and it shouldn't be how you communicate with God. The bible does not endorse any kind of rosary and it compares those who repeat prayers to the pagans, who also have repetitive prayers and prayer beads.
The prayer of Jesus is not to get God's attention, but ours. We are habituated to outward consciousness, and the prayer is a means of training the mind to focus on God. It has proven to be a saint-maker through the centuries. Don't discount such a blessing.
@@MonasteryIcons ''We are habituated to outward consciousness, and the prayer is a means of training the mind to focus on God.'' Ok, can you show me an example of this in scripture? I understand from Matthew that repetitive prayers are offered in vain. ''But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.'' As I understand this text, God is looking for honest conversation from the heart. We don't talk to our dear friends with repetitive phrases, why should we do so with God?
@@peterjackbenson The bible can be interpreted in many ways. '' I don't' think so. Any book that can be interpreted MANY WAY, is not saying anything worth reading. There are rules to hermeneutics and there is a way to read the bible so that you can come to the conclusions the author, the Holy Spirit, intended. We are to look to the Holy Spirit for truth and He will guide us into all truth. ''I wouldn't judge things like pagans so harshly.'' I am free to judge something as pagan when the bible judges it as pagan. ''Unceasing prayer is an interesting concept.'' I have no problem with unceasing prayer. Paul states we are to pray without ceasing. I have a problem with repetitive mantras used as prayers. Prayer is a conversation with God, it is not a magical spell we repeat over and over and over.
@@danielcristancho3524 I am not saying not to differentiate between pagan and Christian, but rather to not judge pagans as less than you or the wrong way of doing things. There is no one way to read the bible, no correct way, and it doesn't make it a useless book, it means each person comes to it from a different perspective. I don't think you actually understand the intent of the Jesus prayer one bit, it's not a magical spell, it's a communication with the divine.
As an Orthodox priest I must remind all of you that prayer is also a stuggle a war against the forces of evil. Many people experience demonic attacks but it is essential to persevere. May the Lord bless your spiritual journey.
Thank you Father 💙
