Our Newest Lecture Series:
Demonology: Understanding & Winning the Spiritual Battle
Click Here: patristicnecta...
The study of the Church’s demonology is a part of basic catechism and Christian instruction. The Scriptures are replete with teaching on the dark powers. Additionally, it is impossible to appreciate the magnitude of the saving deeds of our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, without understanding how He, and He alone, has conquered Satan and destroyed his works. Lastly, Christians are called to fight and win in the spiritual war, and for this reason, it is essential that believers understand their enemies and their tactics. Toward this end, Father Josiah presents in these lectures in-depth studies of the Scriptures, Divine Services, and pedagogy of great saints and teachers on the subject of Satan and spiritual battle.
Lecture titles include:
Lecture #1 Jesus and Satan
Lecture #2 Demonology in the Baptismal Rite and the Divine Liturgy
Lecture #3 Gaining Mastery of Satan: The Life of St. Anthony the Great
Lecture #4 How to Win the Spiritual Battle according to St. John of the Ladder
Lecture #5 Engaging the Unseen Warfare: Fr. Lorenzo Scupoli and St. Nicodemos of the Holy Mountain
Lecture #6 C. S. Lewis’ Screwtape Letters and Demonic Warfare in the 21st Century Falling West

I'm not Orthodox (yet, lol) but i do love this man's videos! There's a very special quality he possesses.
Dear superdeadrooster,, Based on that name, i think you should become ORTHODOX asap!.😏
As the Holy Spirit prepares you and leads the way, of course..
Be careful though: you might have to change that handle.
☦😏☦
I'm glad we are all sharing together! ❤
Fr Josiah, Fr Turbo Qualls, and Fr Peter Heers are like the three key UA-cam priests for Orthodoxy (for me, not to exclude any of the many other good priests doing similar work)
That was incredible, thank you Fr.
I love this! Saint Raphael is my patron Saint glory to God! Holy Father Raphael pray to God for us💖
St Raphael is on our iconostasis on the far left, the Archangel Michael side.
Last Pascha on Holy Saturday, during two separate liturgies, the lampada in front of his icon suddenly began moving in a circle very strongly and continued to move the entire time.
That Saturday, there were many entering the church by baptism or chrismation, so I believe St Raphael of Brooklyn was there welcoming them to the American Orthodox church he gave his life to build.
Thank you for this wonderful reflection! Pray for us St. Raphael ☦️
I love this. St. Raphael of Brooklyn is my patron saint.
I was blessed to be at the grave of St. Raphael last week at Antiochian Village. You can feel the grace throughout the entire place- there’s just something special and peaceful about AV. Thank you for this wonderful reflection, Father.
I truly enjoyed learning this. I will have to visit The Antiochian Village in Ligoner the next time I'm home in Pittsburgh. I wish the Orthodox churches across America would come together to open Charter Schools to educate our youth! What a blessing that would ve.
.
Yes. Your prayers, my prayers, so many others as well. We will pray together, if it is God's will of course! ❤
I love your idea about Orthodox churches coming together to open charter schools ❤ I will be praying toward that! 🙏🏻☦
Saint Raphael of Brooklyn pray for us 🇱🇧🇸🇾🇺🇸
My patron ❤️🙏☦️
I thank God for you dear father and for all this rich food you provide.
That quote about being Arab, Greek, Russian, and American was very powerful.
Thank you for this reflection! St. Raphael consecrated our church, St. George Orthodox, in Charleston, WV sometime around or shortly after 1911. This is the church where I became an Orthodox Christian ❤ I am glad to learn more about him through your video and especially touched by the quote you shared, “ I am an Arab by birth, a Greek by education, a Slav in soul, a Russian at heart and American by citizenship” and the fact that he fought vigorously against phyletism. God is glorified in His saints! ☦
What an amazing story. St. Raphael, pray for us.
Fun fact: In late July of this year, his relics will be dug up and placed in the chapel at the Antiochian Village. Be there if can, it is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
Father, thank you so much. I attend Saint Raphael Of Brooklyn Orthodox Church in Inverness, Florida. Father, can you tell me where you obtained the cross you wear, that looks like a large prayer rope? Thank you, brother Iakovos.
I had the privilege of visiting St. Raphael Antiochian Orthodox Church in Iowa City last year. Holy Father St. Raphael of Brooklyn pray for us.
Im greatful to learn of this saint
What a blessed and holy life you have led Fr. Josiah. I enjoy your videos very much, thank you.
Thank you Father.
You are truly a diamond in the Orthodox Church .
Glory to God 🙏
Bless, Father! Thank you for sharing this moving tribute to St. Raphael of Brooklyn. Although I am in the Greek Orthodox Church, I have many dear friends who are Antiochian and have known about St. Raphael for many years, but I really did not know anything about his life. Your account was truly inspiring, so again, thank you!
I am blessed to attend one of the churches St. Raphael dedicated in Texas. One of his relics is available to venerate.
Thank you for this inspirational reflection... I am reminded of the affinity I discovered for the Russian People as a high school pupil studying the Russian Language in the first such class taught in Phoenix, Arizona, in 1965. My first knowledge of Orthodoxy came a few years later, when I read about a lost Russian Icon. I felt drawn to know more, but did not pursue it. I wondered about the surprising affinity to the Russian People, and to know more about Orthodoxy, for decades, until I heard more last year. I am learning "more" ever since! Your videos are very helpful! When you read Saint Raphael's description of himself, I was moved that he said he was Russian in his soul... I don't understand fully yet, but I know that of the known multi-ethnic combinations of my soul, Russia bear's an important role. Somehow, hearing Saint Raphael's story, makes me know this more clearly...
Thank you, again, for your important work!
These videos are truly Patristic Nectar.
Thank you for the St Raphael history.
.I am a seeking (not yet Orthodox) believer in NC... God bless you!
St Raphael pray for us.
Thank you so much for this
Wow! Fr Josiah! Your comments are on!!! It's been awhile since I've been to your channel. I appreciate you letting us engage ❤ I saw your video in my feed & I know nothing of St Raphael. I'm grateful to learn about him. Thank-you for the work you do.
Although he had been canonized by the US Antiochian Archdiocese and the OCA, being commemorated today, at the request of Metropolitan Saba St Raphael was also added to the calendar of the worldwide Antiochian Church during the last Holy Synod meeting about a month ago, and now he is also to be celebrated on Feb. 27. So I guess now he is commemorated twice a year in the US.
He already was commemorated twice a year in America.
The OCA Celebrates on the date of Repose and Antioch Celebrates him on the first Saturday of November.
And then in Ukraine he is Commemorated on All Saints of Kiev Seminary.
St. Raphael pray for all those blinded by ethnic love, phyletism.
Macedonia was not Greek. Some parts are now, geographically part of it. Phyletism is here today, just like in the yesterday's video it is also in this video by not allowing Paul's Macedonia be recognized. The Mother of God our Theotokos has already been clear on the recognition of the true people that called the Apostle. The brothers on Mt.Athos know that. I live in the west and this illness is all over the churches sadly most prevalent in the Greek churches. Christ open our eyes to see our ugliness and help us to fulfill the commandment of loving our neighbors as ourselves and as we love You our God.
This is so neat. Thank you.
Thank you for that ending. Ive always been curious as to what you sounded like during Liturgy. Now I know.
Beautiful message about a wonderful man.
I was Baptised for St. Raphael of Brooklyn.
I almost always have to clarify, "The Bishop, Not the Archangel".
Thank you
Someone asked about the book "Rock and Sand" the other day. They couldn't find a copy. I did a search for him, and I think the least expensive copy I could find was like $244.00. Anyone know if this will be reprinted or a better place to get it?
🙏
What torture to deny His powers as already given!!! Spread across the earth as a field of flowers for herbs of healing. For to be picked by Fathers loving hands and dispersed to all in need! Yes to pick them is to be tempted by them, to have their perfumed grace tempting almost beyond duration with unseen powers and principalities of impious self indulgent gratification. But that test surely must be had and passed or failed. Or the Fathers stay in fear. Not even knowing they are already tested there as well. Failing through a strange new perverse worldly piety while flowers in the field bloom and die in the round of years. Aging surely toward the end.
When will rock and sand be available to buy online again? 😁
you said that St Raphael “intercedes” on our behalf. Can you please explain in more detail about that?
Like an ambasador or middleman=we cristians pray to Jesus,Mother Mary and,or the Saints Who are in Haven to pray to GOD for us or our behalf
@@mese5080
so someone has a problem for which she wants god’s help. let’s give a name to it, “find a job”.
so far she has been unsuccessful finding a job which she needs to support her family. She is a believer and lives a good life.
she prays to god for days/weeks/months seeking help in finding a job. still no job. for some reason, omniscient, omnipotent god hears her but does not help.
Now she prays to St Raphael. St Rafael hears her and goes to god and convinces god to intercede on her behalf and coordinate a meeting with her and an appropriate employer who does hire her.
is that right?
