Hello, I am very glad to have found your channel and information. But one thing, bothers me, don't you find calling yourself Father disrespectful to Our Father? Kind regards, Indre
@@ik4949 I'm not catholic, but to have a spiritual father in Christ is very Biblical. Paul said he became a father in Christ to the Corinthians. It is a person should find one that can guide him in Christ and be a spiritual father to him, not call every priest father or we would be calling every Christian father, because we all have a priest hood in Christ our Lord and high priest.
@@ik4949 it's just a title. Do you have a father and mother? Is it wrong for you to say: yes, I do have a father and mother. No, it's not wrong to say that. Is it wrong for your father to say: yes, I am Indre's father. No, it's not wrong for him to say that. Of course, he is not saying that he is your God. He is just saying that he is your male parent. In late old English, father meant somebody that exercised parental care. This whole teaching was about conscience, and intention is a primary factor. If you trip on your shoelace, and strike another person as you fall, that is not the same as striking somebody intentionally. Nobody is intentionally trying to make you think Fr Spyridon is God with the term father. Also, there is the term as it was used in the original tablets, whatever that was. It wasn't English, but it was translated as father. Anyway, shouldn't we worry about the beam in our own eye before picking at the splinters in others? Fr Spyridon is making an effort to save you, and your fussing about a silly label/title. Do you really think that God is so petty that heaven and hell are decided by a label, a title, a term that implies somebody that cares about you?
I want to confess that I was abused in a church when I was a child by a Pastor, it scared me so far away from God and the church, I was genuinely crushed. I grew up singing with my mother in church and I loved it so much, I felt so betrayed. It’s taken me years, but lately I’ve felt God cracking at my shell, I’ve had such a grudge against the Faith and God. Your words have touched me so deeply in a way I cannot express, I thank God for leading me to better understanding. I feel foolish for ever blaming God for the actions of people, I can only ask for His forgiveness. I let my anger control me and block me from His grace and wisdom. I was wronged but it didn’t give me the right to pass my hurt onto God or others. I shouldn’t have let it rob me of my relationship with God. God did not wrong me and I had no right to blame Him. I was raised Pentecostal, I have never heard this type of teaching, its beautiful and gentle.
God is healing your heart. Surrender to his leading and trust in his love and mercy. He has a plan even in our pain. I have been abused too and God never gave up on me.
You poor lady. Your story has me in tears, because I was nearly molested twice when I was a kid, once by a teacher and another by a catholic priest. I was able to fight them off, but my heart breaks for the victims of such utter monsters. The good news is that both of those animals are known for what they are.
I have a similar story, and it is very hard to take that step out of anger. After a while we become complacent and comfortable with our anger, because that is all we have come to know. I am still dealing with this especially with the stage of life I am in. The important part is repenting and knowing what is right, knowing comes first and living comes next. I commend you on taking these steps I know how impossible it can be. I pray that you find some peace in the resignation that we must commit to.
One thing I love to say, "GOD BLESS YOU" and get out of catholicism, because it is a heresy, giving the pope unlimited authority. I see in Orthodoxy that JESUS is the King of the Church, but in Catholicsm, I see that the pope is the king.
If the devil confessed and repented of his sins tomorrow, our most holy God would forgive Him and save him. But he cannot, for he has destroyed his own conscience. Thank you, Father Spyridon.
“The demons will work above all to distract us now…. We have been given a conscience, the devil now has no conscience… we must listen to that friend who speaks to save us.”
“Too often in our modern world the work of the demons is made so easy.” The conscience will testify against us.. be reconciled with your opponent before being put in prison where you will not get out until you pay back the last coin. Too true. Thank you for the resonant reminder Father. God Bless you.
There’s no brotherhood between Roman Catholics and the Orthodox. We are all children of God, but make no mistake, heretics and those belonging to false churches and not the Church established by Christ, will face God’s Judgment. Lord have mercy.
@@KallyKafritsas you missed the point. A child born had a mother and father. This verse simply uses the term father to explain that a lost child needs a 'spirtual father' to be helped. Spiritual Fathers such as Fr Spyridon have provided many people help with his videos. Ofcourse, there is only One Father. Christ speaks in Parables also to explain things. Freemasonry is definitely an issue and the One True Church is against it. Unfortunately and ironically, there are some who are Orthodox and also conducting sin by also partaking in Freemasonry. God sees this ofcourse and a reminder that all will be judged. Before the Gospels were even written, the Holy Fathers passed down information through generations.
@@KallyKafritsas Don't think Carnally. For you to call me a Freemason is an insult to the One True Church I belong in. Also, the Holy Fathers have suffered Persecution and Martyrdom because they have rejected this world and chosen Christ. Look how all the Disciples of Christ died. If you, for 1 second, assume that there are no Holy Fathers, then you deny history took place and you insult Christ, and all the martyrdom that's ever taken place (Look at the history of Russia, and Greece, Serbia, and every Holy Place that's ever existed). Christ is the body of the Church and after he was crucified, he ascended into Heaven and now, he mediates for us to the Father and sends down the Holy Spirit. This is explained in Acts. Who do you assume was sitting there when this happened?
Thank you Jesus and thank you Father, I’m sorry for the sins I have committed and continue to commit out of selfishness. Please strengthen me, please discipline me, please have mercy on me although I do not deserve it.
@@duke9534 Interesting. But I don't think it sufficiently dug into Matthew 23 deep enough. I think what Jesus was saying is, "Don't let men look up or idolize you for what you do through me." If one calls you Father, teacher, Rabbi, or master, remind that person that you are not, only Christ is, who is in us all who follow of Him, remind that person that you are no better than a servant or anyone else, remind that person that only through Christ we are brothers and sisters of God, and only capable because of, and through Christ in Us.
@@knotNyourHead Dont fall in to the pit of "i think this verse means this", we have thousands of years of unchanged tradition and Holy Fathers dating back to the Apostles. Its all well and good until you start pasting stuff on everyone's comments because you have a protestant need to correct everyone whilst being ignorant of the truth.
May the Lord our Father reunite Catholics and Orthodox. May the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Theotokos pray for our full communion. May the angels and the saints in Heaven intercede for our unity in the Christ. ✝️🙏☦️
Father, I am not an orthodox Christian nor am I baptized but I am finding my way to God. I want to be orthodox. This video found me at the perfect time as I was in a moment of despair. Thank you for your work.
Do not give up. No matter how far you have to go. Miracles can happen in this world though they are rare. Fight beyond what you think you have the strength to.@@starstray4326
Keep going Cory! Jesus wants you to come to him. He knows you, he loves you. He is the way, the truth, the life. You cant change your past but you can start where you are and begin the adventure of your life. Im new to it as well and its been transforming my life for the better. But the world will work hard to keep you down. Stand up straight with your shoulders back and just keep going. God knows you. No one knows you like God knows you. He sees you and hears you and you deserve his unconditional love 😊
This man speaks true Christianity. True wisdom that one who seeks from scriptures, will eventually be taught by the Holy Spirit, Son and His Father. This was already 4th video I listened and I cannot but agree with him in Lord.
I believe that a point comes in one’s life in which one can’t bear sinfulness any longer, so that one cries out to God for deliverance. Then, the miraculous happens: sin immediately loses its supposed “flavor,” temptations grow weaker, and the resolve to sin no more grows ever stronger. We will never be perfect, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have to try to be perfect: if you have the ability to invent the greatest thing ever, why NOT do it for the glory of God?
God bless you. Im alsp working hard to bring myself into obedience. Im new as well. I have found it extremely helpfull to seek the community at my local church. Not every church is good but i got really lucky. Maybe that would help you too
I was praying for one of the first times a couple days ago. I started by asking god for his strength to help me through a challenge and then moved on to other issues of my heart and mind. I could not figure out what I wanted to ask of him or do for him in order to solve my issues so I ended up pleading to him that I was merely lost, confused and scared. The next day my prayers were answered and I felt reinvigorated in my heart and mind. Thank you for this video it is exactly what I needed.
Forgive me, for I have given in to the sin of lust once more, I am beginning to feel that I am becoming unworthy of God's love. Though I shall try once more. I shall repent and repent until I am freed of this heinous desire. Forgive me Lord, amen
I wanted to thank you, Father Spyridon, and all the other people who prayed for Father Ioannis and his father. The surgery went well, and Father Ioannis' father is well on his way to recovery! Lord have mercy!
Thank you Father! Your teachings are very powerful. Falling is human & not getting back up is demonic. Powerful. I can’t stress how important it is to get a spiritual/confession father to help you grow in the journey to getting closer to Christ every day.
The timing of seeing this video (which did not show up in my notifications, despite them being turned on for all of your uploads) is remarkable. I just finished reading your book, Father, "Trampling Down death by death" just the other day and it gave me a lot to think about. With my Mother-In-Law currently declining and on her way out of this world, death and what we face ahead is heavily weighing on my mind. Please pray for my mother-in-law's conversion/repentance and that she might have peace in the Lord, that her Soul might be saved before her death, anyone who might/can. She is not Orthodox, and she was involved in the Occult. She has been very resistant, even at this very late point despite me and my husband praying with her and talking to her. Her name is Evelyn. Thank you.
Thank-you Father Spyridon for another amazing Sermon, my the Lord continue 🙌 to bless you so we can hear your Blessed Sermons for our Sinful Souls, Lord Jesus 🙏 Christ Son of God have Mercy on me a Sinner. Christ is Born, let's Glorify him.
Father Spyridon you are a genuine echo, guided by the Holy Spirit, of Saint John the Forerunner who called for all to REPENT!!! May our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ continues to bless you with Strength and Wisdom for our spiritual benefit. The unworthy from Las Vegas
I’m going to testify to something I felt as I passed this video initially. My conscience RUNG OUT, “Go back to this video.” Because I witnessed it’s truth in the title, knew I needed to hear it , was actively moving away from it and that’s when my conscience rang out, “do not pass this”. It was like a true test to the contents within the video. Your conscience will speak out! If you still have one. Listen to it! Actively form it! Turn towards the light in every movement of your mind(spirit) body or soul. Be with Him. The Magi were Gentiles.
Father Spyridon , we are living in a slave system . People are so busy and Occupied with their other God ( Money ) that they have no time to reflect on important matters like the Truth !
Thank you father, your uploads are long awaited, your wisdom is from God and rooted in truth. I am blessed to have found you on here. Very profound,🙏⭐️☺️
Thank God for this video tonight, It is in quick response for the sign I asked God for tonight of a suspicion of the devil working in my life without me even knowing it and distracting me from the path of God's love, He truly is a powerful omnipotent God, Hallelujiah❤
I look forward to hearing this topic. The devil only wants to destroy. He hates God completely and hates every human being (body and soul). He doesn’t care if one gets pleasure or satisfaction from sinning. As long as the soul is separated from God by sin, that’s all that matters to the devil.
Very Carefully they are doomed forever can you forgive a terrorist can you forgive a hood cap? No its difficult it takes practice, don't ever talk to those people ever.
Father Spyridon has introduced me to a side of Christianity I never knew. I was raised in a very Protestant family, the lovey dovey, gummy bear Christianity . It’s difficult to explain at the moment but I want to convert to Orthodoxy. I live in a rural area and the nearest Orthodox Church to me is 40 miles away. But really this is no excuse I would do anything to just forgot about work and the demands of life and go and learn under someone like Father Spyridon. Please pray for me that the Lord will put people into my life.real Spiritual teachers
Thank you so much Father, you're a soul saver and I really pray to God that he rewards you in his Great Kingdoms. You have no idea how many times I've close to breaking off my Christian habits and I've been saved by one of your videos. You're truly awesome, and I just pray to God he gives you the health and joy to make these videos for a long long time. Thank you again for all that you do, you've saved me and I'm sure many other more than you can count. Amen and God Bless you Father.
Thank you Father Spyridon, and all glory and thanks be to our true Father in Heaven. I began inquiring into Orthodoxy a few months ago, and so far it has been a blessing beyond words. May God bless everyone.
He's helped me so much!...... I finally understand.......I choose Christ......I've truly abandoned the world.,..... the flesh and the devil............. I still need more wisdom ,... I been finding out when I help people it's seems pointless ... that they won't listen to me...many cry and etc.. but refuse to follow christ... and I am hated.....I see people falling away from me.. they hate to hear the truth...
i have just found this channel, its uncanny how much F ather Spyridon speaks of the things that are missing from our church and lives . What I need to hear and try to follow
In II Peter our beloved Apostle Peter exhorts us to remember his words, to be diligent, to be established in the faith, to make your calling and election sure. . . . I read this this morning, and it seems very appropriate here. Thank you, Fr. Spyridon.
@@KallyKafritsas Thanks for your input. However, you should realise that In Orthodoxy, a priest is called "Father" because he has been intrusted with the spiritual leadership of a Church and the oversight of those under his care. It is a term of respect & love because they are our spiritual leaders, not because they actually are replacing God. Like the Apostles, Church Fathers and those ordained by them were leaders at the beginning of Christianity after Chrsit arose from the dead and gave them authority to ordeain leaders, so the Priests today follow in their footsteps. They are ordained by the Church, and it's not a willy nilly ritual. They are spiritual fathers to their flocks and to newcomers. There is nothing wrong with addressing them with that loving term. --All the best.
@@KallyKafritsas Where did you get your manners, pray tell? Certianly not in the Scriptures! You don't even know me, and look how you're slinging accusations and name-calling! What an idiot! Who's really of the devil, I wonder?
If you believe the Bible, then work out your own salvation, like the Scriptures teach! That will probably go way over your head, like remembering the commandment to "love your neighbours."
Whoaa ! Thank you Father Spyridon ... this is SO POWERFUL SO POWERFUL *Lord Jesus Christ Son of God Have Mercy on me a Sinner Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on us all Sinners
Father Spyridon, thank you for your diligence. It is a respite from the world. I am Catholic, and I've found that over the years, all Christians, regardless of church particulars, are messengers of faith, and have a place in God's Kingdom.
Thank you so much Father. I am a very devout Catholic now. Due to the heavy rains here in California I didn’t go to holy Latin Mass Sunday. But then later the sun came out but I still didn’t go due to my own fears of crowds. Monday my conscience accused me that I could have gone, I prayed and realized that yes I could have gone and seemed to have the courage that next time this happens I will know what to do. Again despite my fears of crowds, I dropped everything for Sunday attendance is a commandment from God and I feared I was in a state of mortal sin and so as you said and as I’ve done many times, I flew to holy Confession and confessed and I weep weep weep that God has given me this light to pray, always pray for I am evil on my own but with prayer I always find instantly a response in my heart and the courage. God bless to everyone, we must suffer lovingly to help save each other.
You are a true teacher. And you teach the most important lessons for this life. I am so grateful for your wisdom. I endeavour to teach my children so effectively. Thank you!
So easily we carry our old sins from the past, into our present and forget the gift of Salvation Jesus of Nazareth died on the Cross to forgive us.. all.
I am over conscience which is no good. I struggle very much. can't wait for this world to be over .I know there is a lot of people feeling the same way. God bless
As timely and profound a message we always, Father Spyridon. Thank you so much for what you do, sir. May our Lord Jesus Christ bless you and keep you always, may your ministry be strong and full of wisdom, may it be strong in the knowledge of the word. God bless you, amen

She is not Orthodox, and she was involved in the Occult. She has been very resistant, even at this very late point despite me and my husband praying with her and talking to her. Her name is Evelyn. Thank you.
Lord have mercy. Prayers for Evelyn.
Lord have mercy. also praying
@@orthodox1717 Thank you!

You have helped me to become saved, Father. May joy that is unimaginable enter your consciousness for eternity.
Thank-you Father Spyridon for another amazing Sermon, my the Lord continue 🙌 to bless you so we can hear your Blessed Sermons for our Sinful Souls, Lord Jesus 🙏 Christ Son of God have Mercy on me a Sinner. Christ is Born, let's Glorify him.
Father Spyridon you are a genuine echo, guided by the Holy Spirit, of Saint John the Forerunner who called for all to REPENT!!! May our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ continues to bless you with Strength and Wisdom for our spiritual benefit.
The unworthy from Las Vegas
this man is very intelectual and has good way of philosophical thinking
truly God's worth for him to post on youtube and keep teaching us
@@KallyKafritsas how is he spreading lies?
I’m going to testify to something I felt as I passed this video initially. My conscience RUNG OUT, “Go back to this video.” Because I witnessed it’s truth in the title, knew I needed to hear it , was actively moving away from it and that’s when my conscience rang out, “do not pass this”.
It was like a true test to the contents within the video. Your conscience will speak out! If you still have one.
Listen to it! Actively form it! Turn towards the light in every movement of your mind(spirit) body or soul. Be with Him.
The Magi were Gentiles.
Father Spyridon , we are living in a slave system . People are so busy and Occupied with their other God ( Money ) that they have no time to reflect on important matters like the Truth !
Thank you. Orthodox teaching made accessible
Thank you father, your uploads are long awaited, your wisdom is from God and rooted in truth. I am blessed to have found you on here. Very profound,🙏⭐️☺️
Matthew 23:9 9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.

Amen, this message is so powerful and every word is so true.
@@knotNyourHead Now read 1st Corinthians 4:15.
@@DimitriZaros after that - flip to Matthew 7:2 😊 love you brother, wasn't commenting in anything other than love
Father it is truly a blessing hearing your words. Thank you father.
Super talk, Fr Spyridon. Thank you. I needed that! Wishing you & this ministry of yours every blessing in 2023.
Thank God for this video tonight, It is in quick response for the sign I asked God for tonight of a suspicion of the devil working in my life without me even knowing it and distracting me from the path of God's love, He truly is a powerful omnipotent God, Hallelujiah❤
Amen, thank you Father. May God continue to bless and strengthen you.
Thank you father spyridon I watch all your videos.
GLORY TO GOD
I LOVE YOU JESUS ❤️❤️❤️
Matthew 23:9 9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
@@KallyKafritsas tell me then, why did St. Paul say he was like a father to the Corinthians? Why did he call Abraham a father?
Wow Father, thank you so much for this extraordinary message! May the Lord give us "ears to hear" that we may HEED, before it's too late!
@@KallyKafritsas and you have serious issues!
I look forward to hearing this topic. The devil only wants to destroy. He hates God completely and hates every human being (body and soul). He doesn’t care if one gets pleasure or satisfaction from sinning. As long as the soul is separated from God by sin, that’s all that matters to the devil.
Problem is devil works with humans who are in his hand, they drag others to sin.
Very Carefully they are doomed forever can you forgive a terrorist can you forgive a hood cap? No its difficult it takes practice, don't ever talk to those people ever.
Equip your conscience with Scripture and talk to Yah and Yeshua as much as possible. God bless, never give up on your Creator.
Thank you Father...I love you in Christ our God and pray for you.
no man is to be called father
10:31 a miraculously timed lightening of the contrast when Father looked upwards towards the sky.
Beautiful cinematography by the angels.
So true good father when we fall we have to get back up if not Satan wins
Without God I am nothing.
Father Spyridon has introduced me to a side of Christianity I never knew. I was raised in a very Protestant family, the lovey dovey, gummy bear Christianity . It’s difficult to explain at the moment but I want to convert to Orthodoxy. I live in a rural area and the nearest Orthodox Church to me is 40 miles away. But really this is no excuse
I would do anything to just forgot about work and the demands of life and go and learn under someone like Father Spyridon. Please pray for me that the Lord will put people into my life.real
Spiritual teachers
Thank you Father
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner.
God bless you, Father Spyridon. ☦✝️
The peace you bring is unlike anything else
Thank you Father for your wisdom and love for us.
Amen, Amen, Amen! ☦️ Father bless.
Thank you so much Father, you're a soul saver and I really pray to God that he rewards you in his Great Kingdoms. You have no idea how many times I've close to breaking off my Christian habits and I've been saved by one of your videos. You're truly awesome, and I just pray to God he gives you the health and joy to make these videos for a long long time. Thank you again for all that you do, you've saved me and I'm sure many other more than you can count. Amen and God Bless you Father.
Jesus is the soul saver mang.
Thank you Father Spyridon, and all glory and thanks be to our true Father in Heaven. I began inquiring into Orthodoxy a few months ago, and so far it has been a blessing beyond words. May God bless everyone.
He's helped me so much!...... I finally understand.......I choose Christ......I've truly abandoned the world.,..... the flesh and the devil............. I still need more wisdom ,... I been finding out when I help people it's seems pointless ... that they won't listen to me...many cry and etc.. but refuse to follow christ... and I am hated.....I see people falling away from me.. they hate to hear the truth...
Thank you father, please give us more wisdom and guide us as our shepherd
Father bless, thank you. The examination of conscience is a daily necessity.
LOVE YOU FATHER THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR WISE AND KIND WORDS!
Thank you Jesus 😊
i have just found this channel, its uncanny how much F ather Spyridon speaks of the things that are missing from our church and lives . What I need to hear and try to follow
In II Peter our beloved Apostle Peter exhorts us to remember his words, to be diligent, to be established in the faith, to make your calling and election sure. . . . I read this this morning, and it seems very appropriate here. Thank you, Fr. Spyridon.
@@KallyKafritsas My comment was practically a direct quote from the second Episltle of St Peter. What are you talking about?
@@KallyKafritsas Thanks for your input. However, you should realise that
In Orthodoxy, a priest is called "Father" because he has been intrusted with the spiritual leadership of a Church and the oversight of those under his care. It is a term of respect & love because they are our spiritual leaders, not because they actually are replacing God. Like the Apostles, Church Fathers and those ordained by them were leaders at the beginning of Christianity after Chrsit arose from the dead and gave them authority to ordeain leaders, so the Priests today follow in their footsteps. They are ordained by the Church, and it's not a willy nilly ritual. They are spiritual fathers to their flocks and to newcomers. There is nothing wrong with addressing them with that loving term. --All the best.
@@KallyKafritsas Where did you get your manners, pray tell? Certianly not in the Scriptures! You don't even know me, and look how you're slinging accusations and name-calling! What an idiot! Who's really of the devil, I wonder?
If you believe the Bible, then work out your own salvation, like the Scriptures teach!
That will probably go way over your head, like remembering the commandment to "love your neighbours."
I really needed to hear this today...thankyou Father Spyridon
Whoaa ! Thank you Father Spyridon ... this is SO POWERFUL SO POWERFUL *Lord Jesus Christ Son of God Have Mercy on me a Sinner Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on us all Sinners
Father Spyridon, thank you for your diligence. It is a respite from the world. I am Catholic, and I've found that over the years, all Christians, regardless of church particulars, are messengers of faith, and have a place in God's Kingdom.
@Tomás Thak you, if I should happen by one, I'll take your invitation as readily as my own parish, of which you are also welcome.
Thank you Father Bailey!
The Work of the Demons is made so easy because it has no Accountability , Boundaries or Morals !

Thank you Fr Spyridon.
GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS FATHER SPYRIDON🙏❤..PLEASE BE VERY CAREFUL ALWAYS 🙏
Thank you Father Spyridon, please, pray for me to bring me humility in my too much proud sinner’s heart 🙏☦️❤️
Thank you, Father.
I thank God for your teachings. Please pray for my wife.
Thank you so much Father. I am a very devout Catholic now. Due to the heavy rains here in California I didn’t go to holy Latin Mass Sunday. But then later the sun came out but I still didn’t go due to my own fears of crowds. Monday my conscience accused me that I could have gone, I prayed and realized that yes I could have gone and seemed to have the courage that next time this happens I will know what to do. Again despite my fears of crowds, I dropped everything for Sunday attendance is a commandment from God and I feared I was in a state of mortal sin and so as you said and as I’ve done many times, I flew to holy Confession and confessed and I weep weep weep that God has given me this light to pray, always pray for I am evil on my own but with prayer I always find instantly a response in my heart and the courage. God bless to everyone, we must suffer lovingly to help save each other.
Thank you Fr.Spyridon for your Wisdom and guidance
You are a true teacher. And you teach the most important lessons for this life. I am so grateful for your wisdom. I endeavour to teach my children so effectively. Thank you!
Jesus Christ is the way the truth and the life, and through Him, we get to be God`s children, when we recieve Him into our life!
Than you dearly father, I needed this. Blessings from Chile.
So easily we carry our old sins from the past, into our present and forget the gift of Salvation Jesus of Nazareth died on the Cross to forgive us.. all.
Brother you're speaking directly to my soul, you been here plenty of life times. - Michael

I am over conscience which is no good. I struggle very much. can't wait for this world to be over .I know there is a lot of people feeling the same way. God bless
One of the saints was near death. He prayed that God would grant him more time to repent.
