This message is so mind opening...I am so thankful to God that I came across this video This is so full of wisdom.. Rather, so full of inspiration from God
Thank you for posting this. The Jesus Prayer has been a pillar of my spiritual practice for over a decade now, and I love to listen to sermons about this prayer, which has enriched my life. Will save and revisit.
Thank You Brother! I have been praying this prayer for a little over a decade. The prayer does deepen and broaden our heart spiritually and sets aright our lives and we sense the presence of The living God and a deep wound is revealed in which we see our weakness and spiritual infirmities and we have a tender pain which causes us to mourn, not in despair, but in hope and God continues to clean out the garbage from our hearts. We may feel we are a spiritual leper and in truth we are and yet we experience fruits, peace,joy,hope,and inner strength to keep His commandments and ability to accept our crosses more gracefully and to see His will in our life and the life of our neighbor. "When we experience dryness in prayer God is preparing and testing our will and intention and in time this passes and we experience consolation as God is rewarding and encouraging our efforts," however both conditions our good.( Paraphrase Way of the Pilgrim). May God bless you in your practice of the Jesus prayer and in your Journey into the kingdom of Heaven. "The Kingdom of Heaven is within you".
Yeah man. Hesychasm is a safe and calm haven in times of distress. There we can commune directly with God. Sometimes its not even about the Jesus.Prayer, sometimes we just need.to talk to God in the secret.place of our heart. With love of course, because only love abides forever and does not fail.
This is so wonderful to listen to I am so grateful for this instruction. I love Jesus with all my heart and I do struggle with some things and this is a breath of fresh air to hear someone taking full responsibility for our faith this is beautiful thank you my brothers
Yeah it seems almost unreal but it must be listened to with sincerity and humbleness. Also you won't find a better teaching than from Greek Orthodox priest (who this talk was adapted from). He has a website www.saintnicodemos.com/ Its one thing to listen, entire another to do what he says. You have to initiate the teachings into your life, you have to sort of become a poet to even try to pray, it is an Art, the highest form of art there is. There is a book called "The Art of Prayer: An Orthodox Anthology" that you might want to read. This just introduces you to many good concepts of prayer spoken in a wise way.
Well said. Thanks for sharing. I just set this powerful prayer to music and posted it on my UA-cam channel today, and your video popped up for me as a suggestion. Glad it did.
The prayer in Holy Spirit "Praying allways with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance..." Ef 6;18 "But ye, beloved, buylding up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit..." Jude 20 "...for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but Itself the Spirit maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered" Rom 8;26 The grace of Christ give us the power of watching in ours mind, and, if recieved this power, but not before, His Spirit comes in us and intercedes for us. This is entirely a Divine work; nothing human is in it. Blessed be ours High Priest, Jesus Christ!
The Prayer will open a space that allows you to refrain from anger, gossip, judgment, etc. At a certain point, the Prayer actually works through you, i.e., you consent to be an agent of the Holy Spirit. Slowly, gradually, it is not your will, but His Will that is done. "My yoke is easy and my burden is light." So it should be with the Prayer.
Whenever I visit pages like these, I have to put up with Christians fighting with each other about what is or is not Orthodox. Can't you just block your comments, so we can just enjoy the videos?
Let’s pray for the peace of the world and to avoid natural disasters in USA: :“Oh Jesus Christ we ask you in your name and invoking the name of Jesús that there is no wars in the world, neither bombardments, neither earthquakes, neither tremors, neither flooding, neither hurricanes, neither natural disasters in all the world now and always, SPECIALLY IN THE UNITED STATES, and there is not consequences of the sins, neither more sins all over the world and so that everybody and the all save now and always, and that everybody do not sin, and God forgives all the sins. Amén”.
Some of the comments remind me of the few traditional Catholics who attack Pope Francis. I guess it is something we need to work on as Christians. . Even Jesus had to deal with the Pharisees so those bringing people closer to God can expect the same. Mikhail, thank you for this wonderful u-tube guide. It is truly a blessing! God bless you!
Yeah I took it a but farther too, God is also WITHIN us, just as the gospel of Thomas would say. The imagination isn't necessarily a bad thing but it can lead to delusion, for sure. But yeah the church has always persecuted the true saints. I'm kind of on the side that the gnostics who were ocndemned in the early church had something interesting and true to say about the world we live in and ourselves . I just think their teachings get you in your head a little more than I'd like to admit. I have to get out of my head and back into my heart.
THANK YOU FATHER YAHWEH IN JESUS CHRIST NAME IN UNITY WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT,FOR YOUR WORDS THAT THIS BRETHREN A PREACHING,BLESS HIM MORE AND MORE AND BLESS US ALL WITH YOUR LOVE,PEACE+ LIGHT,THE HOLY SPIRIT + THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST YAHSHUA, amen.
A worthy point... however. The prayer of the heart culminates in Godly Vision (i.e., theoria) and accomplishes (theosis). Godly vision is synonymous with the prayer of the heart, and is spoken of as such by the Fathers... even if the prayer of the heart is not necessarily synonymous with Godly vision. Furthermore, transverberation and Godly Vision are in fact synonyms. Ergo, insofar as I meant it, it is just so.
The prayee really isnt even about the other words. Eventually you will only need to say the words "Jesus Christ" in your mind and then you will have the effects of the prayer. It truly is a miracle working name and prayer. Its scientific too because its real. You can see the spirits becoming subject to you in his name.
Mikhail Kolitwenzew maybe it is also good to share the Hebrew name Yeshua or Yehushua. I don't find it helpful if the name is pronounced in English. thank you.
Its interesting you mention this. I prefer the original pronunciation too, and sometimes wish we did away with the english pronouncing. Even my saint's name I don't like it when people say it in our english language. But I do find when Im desperate and call his jesus name in english-greek he still lets me know he hears me. So Glory to God. =)
Thank you for this beautiful insightful description of the Jesus Prayer and your great translations of Nipsis and how we can prevent sin like from entering the nous. The only issue I have Mr. Kolitwenzew is that image of Christ, it appears very Catholic, not the Byzantium image of the orthodox image of our lord and savior. I also want to say that I finished reading " Wounded by love" by St, Porphyrios, Wow I can't say enough of the book. God bless ...
That's a fantastic book which I possess in my collection. Regarding the image how can I change it? I don't want to take it down because of the views. I think I put it up because its a eye catcher. And God love you and bless you.
I fully understand and I'm truly sorry that I questioned it. Nevertheless I was up all night listening to your piece on the Theotokos. Thank you so very much for explaining why we should address her as such. It was a powerful piece and you so eloquently substantiated and justified the true holiness of our holy Theotokos. I absolutely love all your videos and want to thank you immensely for clarifying the essence of Nipsis and how to prevent evil thoughts from entering into our hearts. I look forward to reading all your other videos. May God love you...

Catholics call "The Prayer of the Heart," or what some Orthodox call," Godly Vision,"... "Transverberation." But understand that this is the highest form of prayer... something not everyone can have. I mean practically. God chooses these. St. Teresa of Avila had this. St. Paul had this, being caught up into the 3rd Heaven.
Hi Misha. I appreciate your videos regarding the Orthodox way and thank you for your time and effort in making these available. May I ask the name of this speaker/reader and are you aware of any other recordings he may have ? Kind regards, Alex
For our Lord's sake, I'm glad I'm totally blind, because People need to hear the Truth! I'm Orthodox Christian, too, and I'm afraid I'd be too quick to judge the icon of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, because it's Roman Catholic. I understand why some Orthodox Christians would be offended.
Sissy Brooks Yes there is. This is a catholic use which was firstly introduced around 1600 from a French catholic nun and officially recognized by catholics in 1890. It is not accepted by the Orthodx Church.
***** Well, you seem to like it. Too bad for the Orthodox, because one of my apostolates is in spreading the devotion, and the graces that come out of it are too numerous to be counted.
Sissy Brooks I don't like it, none of the Orthodox people like it. And grace? what grace? The nun who introduced this nonsense (devotion to the heart) was eating other nuns' feces and vomit! She describes it in her diary! WAKE UP PEOPLE!
What you were saying is very nice and very helpful however the image is quite disturbing it is supremely heretical and all through the talk I was debating whether I could continue to listen and even now have turned it off 7 Minutes. I must pray if I should continue. It is not as one of the commentators said that you are always are debating or arguing. It is much more it is the desire for preservation of Purity as is commanded by our Saviour.
Michael you should change this image of Jesus, it is a catholic invention and totally heretic. Orthodoxy does not separate our Lord in pieces - heart, body, ears ecc. This way you are giving the wrong impression that we worship His heart and not the connection with Him through OUR heart.
No, that's just your impression and desire to create disunity - breaking the Body into 'pieces'. Psychologists call it projection. You are doing what you accuse this man of doing - creating Jesus in your own image and likeness. Need to work on that 'connection' of yours. Not very effective.
You should search more about who, why and when these images with the heart of Jesus and Holy Theotokos were introduced.The prayer of the heart doesn't mean that at all.Ask geronta Efraim and he will explain. They are not Orthodox.
No they can't they rejected the theology of Gregory Palamas and the Fathers of Athos. You can only say the prayer in fullness by being a member of the Orthodox Church.

No one can improve on Christ. He said God is Spirit. St. Dionysus said God is above spirit. How can God be above himself? St. Dionysus is only a man. Why did he think he could improve on Christ?
Listen to the lecture, stop trying to pick it apart like some kind of pope of orthodoxy. St Dionysius is trying to expand on the teachings of the nature of God. You are so pharisaical doing this. I think you should reconsider your religious walk. Maybe think more agnostically about your beliefs.

is this the Sacred Heart in an eastern icon?
Why is it that important? Do we worship the forms or God?
which icon is that?
Michael you should change this image of Jesus, it is a catholic invention and totally heretic. Orthodoxy does not separate our Lord in pieces - heart, body, ears ecc. This way you are giving the wrong impression that we worship His heart and not the connection with Him through OUR heart.

Lol its not about that its about the prayee of the heart. Even latins can say it. Jesus is not only for the orthodox.
