    I sometimes daydream about what it would be like to have no worries; usually this involves fantasies of wealth. I kid myself about all the good id do with it. However, if im honest it's just another selfish, run of the mill, desire. However, i do pray that the Father's will be done. I realise that my will and my following temporal desires is not the way to fulfillment. Love in Jesus.

    Thank you father for introducing me to orthodoxy. I have found you a few months ago and am now starting to read the philokia. I never knew about orthodoxy, though being a Christian for many years. I find such help reading the lives of the old church Fathers, and saints, and find myself gaining help from these teachings more and more. Thank you!

      @orthochristos 2 роки тому +21

      It is good to hear that you are drawn to Orthodoxy. But a word of caution. The Philokalia is a very advanced collection of spiritual writings by tough ascetics and monks who have battled with many vices and passions and many have become saints. You might not understand (I am not saying that I do, which I do not) a concept or a word that might lead you astray or put you off completely. It would be best to start with something more down to our level. God bless you

      The book “Way of a pilgrim” is a condensed and easier to read book on the teachings of the Philokalia and the Jesus prayer. I would say that might be a little more accessible, however attending a vespers service on Saturday night would be better if you are interested.

    • @Blessedhope83
      @Blessedhope83 2 роки тому +1

      Thank thank you all for your comments. And yes the philokia here’s a very in-depth read. I wouldn’t necessarily consider myself a newbie at least two theology I have five years of studying theology on the college level and have been preaching (independent fundamental baptist) for around 13 years.
      As I stated above I had never really looked into orthodoxy. We did cover some of it in college but mostly all I got from that was that it was just another Catholic whore (please excuse me I mean no offense neither do I now believe that).! I find it rather startling that much of what we consider within the Protestant denominations as Catholic or Orthodox he is so very wrong from what the actual teaching sort. I have watched many documentaries in recent months and also subscribed to many of the different orthodox theology channels or different priest or fathers as I find their views fascinating.
      I do understand what you were saying about the different people who wrote the book. And their personal struggles. I had recently rid of a man who struggled so much with lust that he ran naked into a thornbush. Personally I find these accounts of struggles so greatly helpful, because I am also a man of like passions that struggles and have struggled for years even though considering myself saved and living a decent Christian life.
      What really is appealing to me about orthodoxy is its humility and its deep sins and longing for God. Within our denomination if you listen to any preaching at all much of it comes off as extremely prideful and over the years this has become a major diss taste to me and often times has left me unsatisfied even doing it myself.
      Where I live there is only one Orthodox Church in the area but it is a Greek orthodox and currently I don’t really know the difference between Greek or Russian or Ukrainian I do understand there are many different splinters of churches all representing the one main church.
      Just pray for me on this journey I do hope that eventually I can be led to someone that I could talk to one on one about different beliefs and why certain things are done the way they are.
      At first I had a major fall out with the fact that orthodox do not believe in Sola Scriptura, but after hearing father trenham explain that in acts when the Jewish believers wanted the gentile believers to be circumcised, and no scripture to guide them, they had to consult the early fathers….
      -which makes sense to me-
      Just keep me in prayer as I go along this journey UA-cam is most valuable I’ve also found many podcasts and radio programs currently I listen to ancient faith radio constantly as I enjoy it’s theological discussions.
      I do hope and pray to take a trip to Mt Athos someday, and I do find the hestchastic lifestyle wonderful. Like I said please pray for me!
      Thank you.

Medical induced coma from delirium tremors and major pancrentitus attack for a month. Had to learn to walk again. 2 weeks later I relapsed for a month. Woke up one day and said enough. That was over 8 years ago and I haven't had a drop.

    Your blessing father. I have noticed that my first experience with God's grace was when I was young and with problems ( financial, career, love etc). As I get older those problems are no longer there, and the devil uses the absence of problems to create in me a false sense of stability. The prideful, like myself, sometimes think that this stability is earned, and not given by God. Here is where pride takes me out of communion with God and I start befriending the world and sin. Your homily today was specially edifying because you emphasized the reality of carrying ones cross in a very direct way. I will us this video to practice continuous humility and thankfulness.

A Spiritual Solution is what has been proven to work. Each day, as part of my continuous Spiritual and emotional sobriety growth, I surrender my self will to God, asking Him to replace it with His will for me.

      Please remember, your prayer and fasting (doing it as a daily rule), especially fasting, MUST be done WITHIN the Church. Are you Orthodox? Please do not try too much on your own without the guidance of a spiritual father. Trying to lead a spiritual life without the Church and without a guide can lead us into many problems and traps of the Devil. The greatest and easiest trap to fall into is “pride”. Without the Church and a guide, we can think we are making spiritual progress, yet we’re driving off the cliff.

    My old way is being denied my needs yet expected to be others weren’t expections energy work finances time on and on.
    Only to come to realize when you have need nobody is there, takers.
    Learning, healing, overwhelmed at how evil people are.
    Tired of grieving, crying. The devil loves us sensitive empathetic self sacrificing souls
    To kill steal and destroy, can’t take it anymore. Realizing I spent most of my life feeling less then only to realize I had qualities the Lord loves. I don’t know anything anymore. If you only knew
    Dying is the only choice we have, we can’t be like them.
    Resurrect us Lord to serve you for your Glory, you made us you can do all things.

    Naked, small and helpless, you now pass on to the most difficult of all human tasks: to conquer your own selfish desires. Ultimately it is just this "self-persecution" on which your warfare depends, for as long as your selfish will rules, you cannot pray to the Lord with a pure heart: Thy will be done. If you cannot get rid of your own greatness, neither can you lay yourself open for real greatness. If you cling to your own freedom, you cannot share in true freedom, where only _one_ will reigns.

    My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
    Colossians 1:23
    If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;

    We must care for the body God gave us. Physically, mentall and spiritually. A duty. Not just neglect and fall apart. Soldiers are fed and clothed and given medical care.
    God loves us as children. We care for our children also.❤
