this is the essential core of christianity that all too often gets buried in the race to gain adherents. If you aren't ready for this message, you are only seeking happiness on earth and not the salvation of mankind and coming together. The ego is something to be shed.
@@SarahBaer-wd7iqtwo bulls fighting over a female are exhibiting ego. The ego is animal. If you believe God gave you ego, then he also gave you canine teeth. God didn't give you canine teeth to bite other people, and God didn't give you an ego to let that run wild either. I don't see it written anywhere that God made you perfect the way you are; quite the opposite. Personally, I don't think God gave you an ego, or teeth or anything else like that. My personal view is that Man being created in the image of God means that man participates in pure Mind, unlike an animal. Man is still chained to his earthly animal nature, evolution is real (although it doesn't explain Creation or the advent of life on earth), and humans are animals. They simply aren't "just" animals. Humans have ego, but humans have Mind. Your ego is just the sum of your desires, self-justifying themselves. Your Mind is bigger than that, because Mind isn't just synapses in the brain. Mind isn't limited to the Self. But if you don't agree with me because you do believe God gave you ego, or you don't believe in evolution because you are a Biblical literalist, then feel free to point out the cases where ego turned out well for anyone in the Bible. Usually the lesson is the opposite; if you work for your ego as opposed to the greater good or the will of God, you are headed for trouble. Your will, your ego, are supposed to be penatant before God's will.
I'm actually reading your book 'orthodoxy and the kingdom of satan'. Wonderful book, you put words and structure on things I have observed for so many years. God bless you Father
@David Shuffett Thanks for your comment brother David. Now, my response (if you interact, you should be prepared to a response no?): In your one short comment you assume two things : First, that I don't read the Bible ('try reading...') and second you're insulting a brother you don't know ('buffoons like him')... Is this comment really have been led by the Holy Spirit or a spirit of anger? I'm not gonna answer the question, maybe you can. God loves you, God bless you.

You don't have to be religious.. that has nothing to do with this message... It's all about having faith in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ..... If you want to feel even better than this message pick up the Orthodox Christian study Bible.. there you will find your answers
@@paulgentile1024 Peter upon this rock I will Build My Church....... God is into Religion... Satan on the other hand hates it and has been at war with the Catholic Church from the beginning... but he will not prevail because the Church is the mystical body of Christ...
@@sevenswords8781 Satan hates it sure, but he's the great deceiver for a reason, he uses religion every day to drag men into hell. Nowhere is this more true than in the Catholic Church as it stands today, who's fruits are entirely rotten. The true Church capital C are Christ's faithful, not a worldly religious organization.
The world and it's systems are the fullness of the original sin, which has grown into a tree. We must extricate it from the inside first, and then we can be IN it and not OF it. The amount of the world we have inside is the measure to which we will.suffer when it falls. It is on fire and be watchful. 😊 Love your teachings.
It seems like everything in this world today is temptation and a snare for our souls salvation. At times I really feel outnumbered. I find myself asking "God please help me. What do you want me to do?" A lot of the time I don't feel like I've done enough.
" Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? " (2 Corinthians 6:14)
Yes, I agree 100%. I hope people can penetrate into the depth of all this man says. He reminds me of this little river in England that is like 1ft wide, and over 60ft deep.
It’s crazy I see this video today, I’ve been a recluse a long time because of my depression. I always feel a stranger to this world and to its people. I was driving and thoughts came to me of how fast everything is moving, time and even people saying I don’t have time. How everything has to be now and they can’t wait. This sense of something feels like it will happen soon. How people are following their own desires, how everyone is becoming impatient with one another. I can’t wait to see Christ’s rain on earth, I look forward to spending an eternity with him. No more anger, no more hate, no mocking God, no laughing at his people, no sickness or depression. I hope everyone here in this section knows and has accepted Christ, if not seek him, no time like the present. He been with me through so many ups and downs, triumphs and failures. He walks with you every step of the way.
Christ is risen!!! Thank you father so so much for remaining diligent in posting these. I am waiting to become a catechumen as soon as the local E.O. reopens here, and your conveyance of the ancient faith is so wonderfully appreciated in Protestant steeped country and I feel such joy and excitement knowing I’ve been led to His church!!!! Kyrie Eleison!!!! Lord have mercy!!! Truly He is risen!!!!
I tried many times to find acceptance in the world but the World does not want me. Now I take comfort in the loving bosom of Christ and in the the honorable protecting vail of the Theotokos
The main problem in the modern world is that the importance of overcoming and suppressing temptation, self-indulgence, and decadence down to a healthy level and keep it in balance with other factors In life. These lessons were usually conveyed through religion, culture, and society of the civilization, that reinterpreted wisdom and knowledge of previous sages and scholars across history and simplifying it to the masses to practice. Stoicism is a very good example of a "pure" wisdom train of thought that does not have or have extreme minimal religious and cultural biases in it. In a secular world both culture, religion is eroded and sacrificed away at the altar of globalism and progress, the very few means used to keep conveying these important ideas down the generations as the secular world has not replaced these "conduit" of conveying these teachings to the masses and they are hence left without guidance, which leads to suffering and running away from these problems by giving into and overindulges them self in extreme pleasures in life. It is essentially escapism and increasing the wealth of the average populace will only worsen it and reduce productivity until har times comes again and people are forced to be competent or perish. I strongly recommend this book it is very eye-opening and shows how civilizations rise and fall and why it happens. www.biohistory.org/
Declares "Do not be a friend yo this world!", while standing in a beautiful green forest, surrounded by singing birds and the sounds of sheep...how and why should one not rejoice in this peaceful setting! It is real!!
Thank you, God Bless. God Our Divine Love Creator and Nature God's Creation is Everything and supplies every good thing in every way for every purpose, the unnatural system is worthless in truth.a
I really like that the Orthodox Church, probably the best from all Christian Churches, conserverd that cult-like, apocalyptic atmosphere of early Christianity. "The world is coming to an end! Repent! Rejoice! We know we were talking about it for two thousand years already, but this time we're right!"
Although the world is difficult, it is still beautiful and we are all made in God's Image. Christ's message was Pure Unconditional Love and Compassion 💗
To add to your sermon beloved, By seeking the Heavenly things to come, we achieve them in this life for those around us! By Fostering upon us the desire to fulfill the promise of God we will reach the promised land together. For Christ is indeed making a new creation! As Babylon falls, the wonders to come will be beyond measure! As you describe. Always at your Disposal, David.
Two days ago, i passed through a set fire, which use for traditional ritual. Then that night i slept i got nightmare. Demons had got into my sleeps. Finally i saw some words shown on my left hand upper skin. The words said satan is sad, because the swift had go to jesus, from satan to jesus. That night i got torture by demons. I woke up. God s spirits spoke in atmosphere. They told me to return all money to that organisation
As a Christian I am so dissallusioned the way the protestant and Catholic churches have bent the knee for so long to secular Marxist dictates, I despise the world I live in the greed the lust the selfishness which I also have partaken. God forgive me. Perhaps the orthodox. Church may help me on this pilgrimage. Thank you sir. Come Lord jesus amen.
So this monk thinks that we should avoid all the good joys that G-d has put into this world? Is this really want G-d wants? Did G-d create beautiful music, trees, mountains, oceans, food, water, all for us to ignore? Will G-d be pleased that we ignored the joys of the world?
THE TREES FIELDS AND MOUNTAINS DO NOT SEPERATE US FROM GOD _ HIS CREATION LIFTS BOTH HIM AND HIS CHILDREN UP. THESE THOUGHTS ARE RELIGIOUS THOUGHTS AND NOT SPIRITUAL
Patience and love for God and Love of the God that lives in as that is what is the real Truth You adulterous people, don't you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God
You have spoken the truth of this world father Spyridon? And the truth shall set you free. Where your heart is so is your soul . The minute someone speaks , you know if he is of God or of the cataclysmic side . Jesus says Matthew 7:18 " a good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit." We live in world that God created ? The mountains, trees, oceans, all natural beauty of nature of the creator of God's Grace? In to day's world we have man's creations of self righteousness to try to be like God ? All materialistic things of the Devil, selfish, things of the flesh, and desires, self-interest means, not Godly deed's. Your words of wisdom, Father Spyridon , you spoke of trully impacts my reflection of the way I see life as we'll. I well subscribe to your channel!! And hopefully one I get to meet you in person and break bread with you .
Remember to obey Acts 2:38 and be baptized after you repent only in the NAME of Jesus for the remission of sins, just like the Bible says. Don't hem and haw about it. I've known too many people facing death that couldn't find someone to baptize them or were too sick to do so even though they knew they needed to way before that time.
In the book of Judges I herd That God had Judges rule Over the Israelites Because the Royal Monarchy Had yet to be established. I was wondering if that monarchy wasn't yet established Because of Sarah and Abraham's disobedience to god? When he had a son in Ishmael Then a son with Sara in Issac? If Abraham and Sara would have Been obedient to God Whould the royal Bloodline already been in place in the times of the Judges?
Bible story, a young woman draw water from a well. Before she get to that water well, jesus had seated at that machine and wait. He said, woman, you got five husbands, and you still thirsty. The thirst here imply sexual thirst and desire toward men. Then, jesus said, i can ended your thirsty. Come after me. I m that water from well everlasting. This story imply sth. The world itself is full of thirsty. Ppl thirsty and they search water. Men search women and women search men. When ppl xame to jesus, they can stop thirsty by drinking jesus.
could someone please elaborate on when he said "this free will will be taken from us at judgement" 2:20? That rubbed me the wrong way. I thought our free will is the one thing god will never take from us. did you instead mean to say that he will come at judgement whether we 'will' him to or not?
It is said "at judgement" which means you will be dead by then. When you die it will be too late to repent. This earthly life is given us for repentance by free will. At judgement God will separate the sheep and the goats without asking them in which group they would like to be by their free will. May God bless you and give you time for repentance here on earth!
Humanity as is, the descendants of Adam and Eve, do not have the experience of a world that is not corrupted by sin. Isn't it natural and allowed for us to marvel and enjoy the beauty of Gods creation, through all kinds of ways which are of and in this world (in my example, woodscraft, playing a muscial instrument, brewery, family life, camping, homesteading, etc), as long as we also acknowledge the corruption that has taken hold on all levels of creation, caused by the original sin? We shouldn't become embittered and distraught with this world, and seclude ourselves from all levels of participation in Gods creation, even if this sometimes means that we cannot escape the harsh realities of this life (killing/hunting animals for food, for example.) But we also shouldn't ignore the corruption and make ourselves believe humanity will eventually solve it and sort it out himself, like the worlds elites of today and hte past seem to believe (which they say, through technology and eugenics we will achieve, which I consider false hope/lies by perpetrated by Demonic forces, probably leading up to the mark of the beast system). We do not have the experience of Eden, except the believe we hold that one day things will return to that original state and even better.
Laugh, i m a devoted believer, i devoted myself to god daddy jesus, long suffer, alone, with me and many trials and tribulation, refine self by melting fires, finally, i just got killed by my own family and killed by my own church.
i am wondering there is a reference to our soul as a her or a she? is this Biblical? or is there scripture that supports this? i know it comes from St. Isaac but i am wondering where in scripture it says that
I certainly do not love this world. It makes me very angry every day and always has. The materialism, the racist hatred, the lying, the fakeness, the financial greed, the personal selfishness, the entitlement, the uncaring for those less fortunate.
I came upon this video immediately after failing & falling in the face of temptation. I must take this video's message to heart. I must turn from temptation & sin & welcome Christ as He comes in humility so that I may be prepared for when He comes in glory. Thank you for this reminder & for your ministry, Father. God bless you.
If you're struggling with temptations of pornography, start praying the Rosary every day. The grace it draws down will weaken the temptations to the point where, when they do come, you can resist them with little effort. Speaking from experience. Also, avoid the occasions of sin and keep watch of the image that arise in your mind. That's were it all begins. Don't consent to impure thoughts, just turn them away and you won't have a problem.
@@lukebrasting5108 Thanks for the advice. It's the advice I keep getting and I'm trying. As others have told me, either you'll cease the sin or you'll cease praying the rosary. I'm hoping for the former.

Perfect comment that is really spot on.
many Evangelical messages talk about Jesus providing our dreams to come true here on earth. This does not seem to be the true message of Christ.
Amen to that.

Excuse me father what is the music at 6:08 ? Or if anyone else in the comments can answer me id really appreciate it! 🙏
It's a good thing Christianity is something that we don't encounter in the _proverbial_ "world".
YOU ARE THE ROCK.
Bible story, a young woman draw water from a well. Before she get to that water well, jesus had seated at that machine and wait. He said, woman, you got five husbands, and you still thirsty. The thirst here imply sexual thirst and desire toward men. Then, jesus said, i can ended your thirsty. Come after me. I m that water from well everlasting. This story imply sth. The world itself is full of thirsty. Ppl thirsty and they search water. Men search women and women search men. When ppl xame to jesus, they can stop thirsty by drinking jesus.
could someone please elaborate on when he said "this free will will be taken from us at judgement" 2:20? That rubbed me the wrong way. I thought our free will is the one thing god will never take from us. did you instead mean to say that he will come at judgement whether we 'will' him to or not?
It is said "at judgement" which means you will be dead by then. When you die it will be too late to repent. This earthly life is given us for repentance by free will. At judgement God will separate the sheep and the goats without asking them in which group they would like to be by their free will.
May God bless you and give you time for repentance here on earth!
@robert proctor its like you only listened to one thing he said and ignored everything else!
That was well said
Humanity as is, the descendants of Adam and Eve, do not have the experience of a world that is not corrupted by sin. Isn't it natural and allowed for us to marvel and enjoy the beauty of Gods creation, through all kinds of ways which are of and in this world (in my example, woodscraft, playing a muscial instrument, brewery, family life, camping, homesteading, etc), as long as we also acknowledge the corruption that has taken hold on all levels of creation, caused by the original sin? We shouldn't become embittered and distraught with this world, and seclude ourselves from all levels of participation in Gods creation, even if this sometimes means that we cannot escape the harsh realities of this life (killing/hunting animals for food, for example.) But we also shouldn't ignore the corruption and make ourselves believe humanity will eventually solve it and sort it out himself, like the worlds elites of today and hte past seem to believe (which they say, through technology and eugenics we will achieve, which I consider false hope/lies by perpetrated by Demonic forces, probably leading up to the mark of the beast system). We do not have the experience of Eden, except the believe we hold that one day things will return to that original state and even better.
Laugh, i m a devoted believer, i devoted myself to god daddy jesus, long suffer, alone, with me and many trials and tribulation, refine self by melting fires, finally, i just got killed by my own family and killed by my own church.
i am wondering there is a reference to our soul as a her or a she? is this Biblical? or is there scripture that supports this? i know it comes from St. Isaac but i am wondering where in scripture it says that
It’s hinted at in Revelations when the Church is described as the Bride of Christ?
"What is your religion?"

I'm intrigued.
*Spiritually lazy, not of this world*
I am sure Hesychasm is shunned, here.
Lord Jesus Christ , Son of God , have mercy on me a sinner.
Thank you for your words Father.
The timing of the sunlight every time you make a point is almost poetic
Right on Lily on the fence!
I certainly do not love this world. It makes me very angry every day and always has. The materialism, the racist hatred, the lying, the fakeness, the financial greed, the personal selfishness, the entitlement, the uncaring for those less fortunate.
I came upon this video immediately after failing & falling in the face of temptation. I must take this video's message to heart. I must turn from temptation & sin & welcome Christ as He comes in humility so that I may be prepared for when He comes in glory. Thank you for this reminder & for your ministry, Father. God bless you.
If you're struggling with temptations of pornography, start praying the Rosary every day. The grace it draws down will weaken the temptations to the point where, when they do come, you can resist them with little effort. Speaking from experience. Also, avoid the occasions of sin and keep watch of the image that arise in your mind. That's were it all begins. Don't consent to impure thoughts, just turn them away and you won't have a problem.
@@lukebrasting5108 Thanks for the advice. It's the advice I keep getting and I'm trying. As others have told me, either you'll cease the sin or you'll cease praying the rosary. I'm hoping for the former.
