I found this video in the middle of the night while suffering from protracted sciatica and back pain from disc herniation. Glory to God! ❤🙏🏻 Exactly what I needed to hear.
This is the exact message I needed for the difficult trials I’ve been facing for around a month. I have pretty awful skin issues and it brings me to despair. I have been trying understand how to not be angry with God and thank him for these trials which often curb my spiritual work. It was profound when she said enduring these is it’s own important form of ascesis. Thank you !
@@orthodox1717I struggled with the same thing! It was very difficult. ERP helped a lot though and now I don’t suffer from it much at all by the grace of God.
I embrace troubles. They are gifts from God to improve myself and, if I can, others around me. God is, and never was, about "all good things" AS PERCEIVED BY MAN. God is omnipotent. HE knows better and HE will tell you through good and tribulation what is best for you. Kneel in humility and ACCEPT everything that is thrown your way and say THANK YOU DEAR FATHER. Amen...
I tried to do this where she says start giving thanks with your mouth. I did that and I could feel the rage and anger burning inside digging fighting me saying this.
I used to smoke weed , a lot , every day all day long , with the spiritual purpose , at least that i was saying to myself! I had experienced deep states of being ! Until one day i realized i am controlled by it , and my mind is not mine anymore , it was open to anything evil and good and i could no longer see the boundaries , in other words , I WAS LOST ... thankfully God give me pain , and because of that pain i start asking for help and i found what was always in front of me and i ignored all this time ....the Orthodox path , is the greatest path ever to exist!!! The love of Jesus Christ and his teachings are perfectly preached and lived by Orthodox church!!!! The deep spirituality of this path is incredible! I quit smoking and since i start practicing the advises of saints i no longer feel lost , i am tested everyday , but with God help and his angels i managed to improve myself , to no longer have issues i used to have my entire life!!! God is great and he's Son Jesus Christ is my lord and the only think i smoke now are His words, and nothing taste and feel better!!!!!!
He is very right, when you have a problem and you pray to God and it seems that the prayer is not being heard and you get upset, continue the prayer so upset, with faith and the prayer will be received like a saint's and you will feel it, believe me.
I've been suffering from demonic oppression for over a year my life has completely changed because of it, I made some poor choices in the past that came to bite me even though I repented and turned towards God I still struggle, I took Saint Cyprian as my patron saint because his past was dark but he turned towards the light of Christ. I don't know if I should accept pain if it's from the evil one, I know that the Son Of God was tormented by the devil when he was antagonized but he did not sin and for me though I am a sinner. I guess my question is should one accept suffering if it's from the evil one?; When does that pain have a ending and most of all why does God allow for demonic suffering on earth when there is already hell?
I believe I suffer from the same type of thing. It's been about 2 years for me. Although, I do have lab test proven chemical imbalances, the demons sure take advantage of it. It manifests itself as OCD. My past of greivous sins, although repented and confessed, I believe I'm suffering for now. Interstingly enough, I ordered an Icon of St. Cyprian and St. Justina a few hours before reading this comment. God definitely allows demons to torment some of us for our benefit. Why? I don't know. Priestmonk Kosmas talks about this.
Accept and do not lose yourself in fear or anger. Consider your faith is victorious. Is God not righteous? You did not want those things, but you can find yourself in prayer and you can live in service. You may not be happy, but find greater meaning. Find grattitude. Appreciate. Be at peace. How beautiful is this gift of life! Embrace it.
if you are suffering from demonic oppression you need deliverance. Deliverance is part of the healing of Christ for souls wounded by sin and other troubles. You can see him deliver people in the gospels. He does not expect us to accept or suffer endless oppression and as you say it does not heal on its own. I hope your church does deliverance. If not there are those who will deliver you in other Christian traditions and they won't mind if you don't belong to them.

@@orthodox1717 God bless!

Precious Blood of Jesus Christ save us.
