Hello Father, I was wondering how I could become like you. I believe my passion is to go out and bring people closer to God but i'm not sure how I could make a living maybe working at a Church? Either way, I want to be able to be like you maybe become a pastor or priest, I am just wondering how I can become that.
For me depends on the days. Sometimes I enjoy entertainment and other times I prefer reading my Bible Added text: Also depends on the type of entertainment,cause there is some secular one that I had to let go
I'm going to an antiochian orthodox church and our patriarchate is in Damascus. God's mercy be with you all there. My prayers are with you. May the Lord have mercy on us all.
@@daughterofChrist-qm3ou I will pray for all my fellow Christians all over the world. Especially for those facing persecution by their brothers who have chosen the darkness. May God protect you, your family, your nation, and your church my sister in Christ.
Father Spyridon, please pray for me. I am in the midst of brutal spiritual warfare, and the devil lies to me daily. I once had the strength to deny all worldly pleasures, but now, surrounded by God’s blessings, I find it increasingly difficult to crucify the flesh as I did before
Don’t worry my brother I feel like all Christians will go through this experience at one point in their life since it follows the pattern of the isrealites in Judges they would follow our Father and get blessed than turn away. He than sends trouble to get them back to him rinse and repeat! He will finish the work to complete either for honor or dishonor
As when a child is learning to walk the parents allow them to fall. Not for their injury but for their benefit so that they will learn, grow and be able to walk. In a like manner we are permitted to fall so we may know our reliance on God and how easy it is to fall when we consider judging others who are falling. We must get up from these falls and continue on the royal path and in humility help others who fall into the same traps. With faith prayer and perseverance the Holy Spirit will strengthen you. If any of this is wrong it is my failure and if it is of benefit give glory to God.
Thank you for sharing your sorrow and despair with us, my dear brother. I'll pray for you. 2. Corinthians 1 3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. 5 For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ. 6 If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer. 7 And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort.
Like Jesus says: ”because sin and lawlesness shall increase the love of many will wax cold”. We live in a wicked and crooked generation. People without good morals. A godless world and brutish societies! Thanks for the video I’ll watch it tomorrow. You’re a blessing! May my God and my Lord bless you immensely. Jesus is Lord! Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪♥️✝️
And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them... While people are saying, “Peace and safety,” destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape...
We're almost as bad as that wicked/evil/despised generation who denied Jesus and chose Barabbas the criminal to live and go free but for their King to die.
Dear Father, by the grace of God, I was chrismated in the Orthodox Church this week. Your videos were some of the first exposure I had to Orthodoxy and have been a guiding force for me during my process of conversion. God bless you Father for your wisdom and your love for us! I pray that many more will come to Orthodoxy through your videos!
the fact youthat came back to tyipe the evfavornesses for the evfavor the truy the precvitero spirido baiili is doing for theus theall within the videonesses thehis is commendable theweare not the witnesses of a saint of the day theour the modern
Cannabis is better than alcohol if that helps. Start slow though. Every herb bearing seed. It helped me notice the holy spirit even in my atheust times
Brothers and sisters please pray for me, for i am weak and so often don't do the good i should and so often i do the wrong then realize it was wrong, or worse know it is wrong somewhere within me. Please also pray that i may come to the true church (hopefully sometime.next year if God gives when i enlist and will be in the city where Orthodox church is since jn my country there are only few). Thank you, may God bless you all
God bless you father Spyridon, I too am Greek Orthodox and can never get enough of the orthodox logos, we are being persecuted and very difficult days ahead we must keep our faith at any cost even our lives for this life will come to pass !
May my ears and eyes be open to your teachings Father.May i not waste another moment outside The State of Grace Father, with useless distractions of the Evil One, and my shortcomings and failures. Jesus, Mary and Joseph, save all souls. Amen
Please pray for me Fr, and my friends who see this comment. I am guilty of all these sins, and even indifference at times. I am worn out and numb. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner.
I understand you. I feel the same way sometimes. I congratulate you for not forgetting Jesus' prayer. We will be alright if we continue to pray and NEVER give up! God bless you ❤✝️❤️
True words, thank you for sharing❤🙏🙏🙏✝️✝️✝️. Grown up as a catholic, i left the churche at the age of 16 and i was for decades on the path to death. Cruel things happened in my life. But God called me back to his churche. Now i can repent every day. When i see you, than i see a lucky man. You have never been so painful hurted because you lived a life according gods will. First the sin tasts like sugar, sweet, but the bitterness is following. Lord Jesus, have mercy on me🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for these videos, and God bless. As someone with only a mission church nearby, good instruction is not always available. You are an inspiration to me, and a compass.
Dear Father Spyridon I appreciate your perspective, and the grace with which you deliver your message. Thank you for reminding me. I pray we all reach a more refined level of understanding, awareness, love and acceptance of God and in turn, each other.
Thank you Father Spyridon for giving me this timely lesson! I thought I was Lost, that the door was closed, but you show that the door is still open for those who repent. Amen!
I am damned to hell as i am, but i am one week sober for god . Pray for me, as even while i type this i twitch from withdrawls . I cant do this alone. I need jesus. Lord forgive me , and give me your strength to fight off these demons for good !!!😭
Very difficult times we are living if we don’t stay in repentance til the end there will be no hope we will suffer the agony of destruction from our own will
3:00 Thank you for this message Spyridon, I too have been thinking this way for a long time! Let the world see. In Jesus name be praised amen. "Truly! He is risen! Rejoice!"
Embroiled in sin and despair, I avoided this video consciously a few times, and yet it sat in my subscriptions bar, until now I have watched it. It has come at no better a time than now, Lord have mercy on me.
Father spyridon , May God bless your soul, you help me allot about knowing God and the sins, and the corrupted world. Thank you, i hope we see each other in paradise, amin.
I’m a catechumen. Been learning at the Church for many months. Some days I fall back into sin and have trouble getting back up. I’m worried the water will not receive me. What can I do to make my efforts in repenting stronger? I’m worried about the state of my hardened soul and know I’m as far as possible from righteous.
Learn to pray well. Then everything will be well. As saint theophan the recluse says if the prayer is right then everything is right. I recommend you to read saint Theophans teaching on prayer and Saint John of Kronstadt as well. Their teachings are available on internet.
@ thank you so much for recommending which Saints to read on for this, my main concern is that my heart isn’t fully in prayer and that I’m just going through the motions. I’m going to read these today.
The kingdom of heaven is taken by force. I never understood this until I read several times in the church father’s writings that “forced prayer is the best prayer “ . Force yourself to pray, spiritual war requires effort.
These are the words the people need in these times. Envy and greed are the biggest sins. Raised roman church, I was exploring religion but was found by my grandfather's orthodox church, no mixed messages self discipline and love! I thank my :pappous!" I still feel envy since becoming disabled and old. Repent everyday, my blessed wife helps guide me! The real privilege is repentace and forgiveness! Bless you my Brother!❤😊
Please pray for me. I’m 21 and slowly drifting towards atheism and losing hope and trust in God daily. It’s gotten to the point where I don’t even want to pray at all..
Don’t bother, atheism you will learn is completely irrational. Don’t waste 30 years of your life like many of us before you. Even the great atheist Tolstoy understood this finally, although he went off on some whacked anti church sanctimoniousness toward the end.
The most difficult thing for me has been my life after public confession, wherein my mind creates so much fear of awkwardness,. I experience embarrassment from these confessions, it lingers and it has been a massive hurdle. God knows our hearts and the healing we need, even before we ask Him. I must pray daily, it has been almost two years. Thank you Father Spyridon, thank you for your help and for these videos.
Thank you very much father. About the end-times: this will be 10x worse then we experience now. I still see hope, i still see love. In the end-times Jesus said "a person only confesses to be a true believer of Christ will automatically go to heaven", to me this means a very dangerous time for humankind when hunger and violence will be found at every corner of the earth. This can only happen after a massive pandemonium. Im thinking about a time after a major meteorstrike when all cities, crops and livestock will burn up in flames. These are the end-times of human society. Thank God were not in these yet! but it is very near so we must repent now when we are all still in a normal working society before it is too late and 90% of us will be wiped out before we even have the time to pray and beg for mercy
I have been battling non stop, even I don’t have the time or will (even is excuse) to go to a church. I keep praying few time to keep my discipline up, then yet my workplace is kicking my butt harder. I always have my mind on God when I’m in hardest times and situations, then yet I felt more anger towards the situation is giving me. I know the Heavenly Father is teaching me to grow up from my rebellion ways, bad habits and my prideful thoughts around me. I normally don’t think myself much, i always think my brothers and sisters that having much worse that me. Then yet, I don’t know why I can’t stop fighting. I always have that same thought ‘why I’m fighting for? Or why do i fight against?’ Like the one of Bible verses say “love your neighbor or enemies like him” still I’m student on spiritual path. This is the end my point, and thank you for reading it.
Good to see you again Father. I hope you have had a complete recovery from your hospitalisation. This is such a necessary message , in current times, teaching me. I wonder if you could do a talk on the late Patriach Pavle, and recommend any bo9ks of his writtingsHe moved me Spirituality. Thanks. Holy Christmas 🎄
Pray for me father. I’m at such an important part in my life. My spirit has awoken and I feel that the devil is after me for it. It’s so hard to fight. To not give in to my temptations and to my pleasures.
It’s a good thing that you have learned how important it is to get the assistance from your spiritual family . I’m personally very aquatinted with the struggles that you described. I have applied the principle of filling up with lots of little virtues such as prayer , confession and additional attendance at church in order to be in a position to receive power / christlikeness and God revealed Himself to me in some very special ways / set me free / grace for victory .
I think even these pardonable sins are something which are accepted in our society now. The initial inclination towards anger is something most believe we should allow and even sympathize with. Venting is what we call it. And while we cannot always withhold our anger, and perhaps truly we are doomed to repeat them, we can repent and learn from them with other people, hence why we argue and fight with one another. But nowadays it seems that rather than make sacrifices for one another and for god, to be closer together and closer to the kingdom of heaven, it is all about what we feel and how others make us feel that is most important.
It seems to me the withholding of "venting" can also be a sin, perhaps a sin of omission. For there is such a thing as righteous anger (e.g. Jesus with the money changers), anger driven by a desire for goodness to occur, and to express this anger is itself an act of good. It seems there are many people who act in people-pleasing ways out of cowardice, and who refuse to call out cruel behavior when they see it, thus silently acquiescing to the cruelty. Sometimes it's necessary to say things people do not want to hear, and to bear the pain of their disapproval for the sake of telling a truth that needs to be told.
Lately I have been struck by the wonderful and beautiful Holy Spirit of the Lord that one of the main effects of the Holy Russian Orthodox Church of God has wrought in me constant repentance.
Thank you, I have recently turned to Christ and I plan to order an orthodox study Bible, I put my faith in Christ and repent for anything I have done intentionally or not. I love you all

I have gotten to a point where I hardly enjoy watching any entertainment, but enjoy quietly sitting reading the Bible. Anyone else experience this?
For me depends on the days. Sometimes I enjoy entertainment and other times I prefer reading my Bible
Added text: Also depends on the type of entertainment,cause there is some secular one that I had to let go
Definitely me, like nothing else really fulfills.
SAME!!!

Please say a prayer I can read my Bible more.
Please father pray for my country Syria and for all my family there. Hard times are waiting for us there
While western media such as the BBC celebrate the Islamist control of Syria, Christians enter persecution. May God protect you.

Pray for me father. I’m at such an important part in my life. My spirit has awoken and I feel that the devil is after me for it. It’s so hard to fight. To not give in to my temptations and to my pleasures.
It’s a good thing that you have learned how important it is to get the assistance from your spiritual family . I’m personally very aquatinted with the struggles that you described. I have applied the principle of filling up with lots of little virtues such as prayer , confession and additional attendance at church in order to be in a position to receive power / christlikeness and God revealed Himself to me in some very special ways / set me free / grace for victory .
Avoid the temptation and pray if you are tempted flee
Strong message
I think even these pardonable sins are something which are accepted in our society now. The initial inclination towards anger is something most believe we should allow and even sympathize with. Venting is what we call it. And while we cannot always withhold our anger, and perhaps truly we are doomed to repeat them, we can repent and learn from them with other people, hence why we argue and fight with one another. But nowadays it seems that rather than make sacrifices for one another and for god, to be closer together and closer to the kingdom of heaven, it is all about what we feel and how others make us feel that is most important.
Glory to god and the lord Jesus Christ, bless you Father Spyridon, your videos give me strength
It seems to me the withholding of "venting" can also be a sin, perhaps a sin of omission. For there is such a thing as righteous anger (e.g. Jesus with the money changers), anger driven by a desire for goodness to occur, and to express this anger is itself an act of good. It seems there are many people who act in people-pleasing ways out of cowardice, and who refuse to call out cruel behavior when they see it, thus silently acquiescing to the cruelty. Sometimes it's necessary to say things people do not want to hear, and to bear the pain of their disapproval for the sake of telling a truth that needs to be told.

Pray for me, Father, for I have gravely sinned against our Father and must go to Confession but I am afraid, my shame is great.
We are all sinners.
Father bless.

Its so hard to read the quote at the end through my tears. Perhaps you could increase the size.
Lord Jesus, have mercy on my a sinner.

Lately I have been struck by the wonderful and beautiful Holy Spirit of the Lord that one of the main effects of the Holy Russian Orthodox Church of God has wrought in me constant repentance.
Amen.
Blessed be the Most Merciful Holy God of Jesus Christ Who has granted unto us Repentance which is the salvation of our souls!
Amen for Spyridon
Thank you, I have recently turned to Christ and I plan to order an orthodox study Bible, I put my faith in Christ and repent for anything I have done intentionally or not. I love you all
A time when Gods word is proven to be true.
Peace be with you 🙏

Repentance is the only Way.
