Many many weeks ago I left a comment about my bad heart, palpitations and chest pains. The chest pains and palpitations have gone from almost every other day multiple times a day down to maybe two or three times a month. Someone is praying for me and whoever you may be, I thank you. God bless you.
I used to have palpitations one time, from weightlifting heavily and not getting cardio in. Try getting into cardio activity slowly over time and get good rest. But it did not help me to completely do nothing
I have been paralyzed and renewing my connection to god I feel my legs all the more everyday. Pray for me and my continued resilience in pursuing gods good will. May the lord bless us and our prayers, amen
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy upon me, an undeserving wretched sinner 😢. I have broken every single one of your commandements, and by your justice I deserve death. It is only by your grace that I still wake to live and breathe air another day. My heart and my soul are crushed by the consequences of my many rebellions. My Lord and my master, Jesus, I bring before you my petition to wipe away my tears ... How long before you turn my mourning into gladness? Help me faithfully endure until the time you have appointed, so that I will bear a true fruit of repentance. In Jesus' name. Amen.
Jesus loves you despite being a sinner. see yourself as Jesus sees you and hate the sin and not the sinner. I'm confident these things will come in time to you and you'll look back and see abundance in life God willing.
@@gomertube that’s the beauty of his videos though. The fact that you can hear nature with the birds chirping is calming and needed especially being that I live in the city haha
No hat today good sir? God bless you and all of your kind and wise words. Listening to you has aided me in my recovery from drugs and alcohol. Thank you for helping me find my way back to Christ.
I will pray. I have struggled with this and thanks to the Lord, I am free. Pray and realize that He has healed you. Guard your mind against all sexual thoughts. Do this and you will be healed.
Many will pray for you from your post. Most men struggle with this but with struggling against it and much prayer, will train you to be a fighter and win against it and other things. Don't be sad, the reason you have this struggle is for your salvation! It has toughened and sharpened me and it will you too. Don't give up! It may take a lifetime but it will get less and less over time. It's a powerful enemy but it is beatable, and you will come out the other end much stronger and closer to God. In Christ, your brother.
I love Jesus Christ, I converted in a psychiatric hospital and Christ is my only joy now, but I am glad for my sorrow as I would have not found Christ otherwise.
I read your comment & immediately thought of this passage: 2 Corinthians 7:9-10 Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing. For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
You know, before I became Christian, I was drawn to some of the Buddhist teachings. They seem to have some good discipline teachings that are similar to Christ’s teachings. But, when I tried the meditation practice, it didn’t work for me. Nothing beats in-depth and hearty prayers to the Lord God in the name of Jesus Christ. It has a power that Buddhist or Hindu mediation cannot achieve. Also, Buddhists and Hindus don’t believe God is a person, they sort of just believe in flowing where the Universe takes you.
I was the same, and in the middle of a meditation in the way of the buddhists and hindus, Christ appeared out of nowhere. Since then it has only been a path toward christ
@@bharatyaswaraj5641 I was meditating, I don’t know what specifically about but Christ appeared, it was a figure and I knew it was Christ; even tho I hadn’t been looking for him actively. To be honest, it could have easily been a deception I do not know, but I feel like it wasn’t. Christ lifted my head up and showed me what it above, and my head down to show what is below
This information is gold for all Christians! I've been trying to achieve peace of mind and heart through prayer , fasting, communion, confession and penance. I say the Jesus prayer and read scripture daily. However, like a like a lightning bolt from the video, came a calming affect into my heart. "Praise God". I began to praise God and was at peace. Before, I always praised and thanked God often during the day, but this was different. Thank you Father!
I pray for peace of mind and heart everyday, I struggle a lot with evil negative instrusive thoughts that truly hurt my heart, but I feel like im getting closer to God, that's why the enemy is attacking me more
I just wanted to say you’ve inspired me a lot I bought one of your books (I’m still reading it as I write this) and it’s really interesting to me my goal is to become a monk one day and hopefully a Saint in these modern times.
Before I recently came to Christ I was deep into Buddhism and meditation. No matter how much I meditated and followed certain practices of paths to "spiritual" enlightenment. Even after hours of meditation I never felt like I was becoming more spiritually recharged or truly peaceful and loving. I also found a lot of aspects of those practices to be life-rejecting.
Good morning from Australia. Thankyou for this video Father Spyridon. This was very timely for me at a moment of deep anxiety regarding my worldly affairs ✝️✝️✝️❤
Thank you Father Spyridon, you have a knack for answering questions that I have before I even get a chance to search for them. Just a couple hours ago I was wondering about meditation and how a Christian would meditate.
Yes, yes. It amazes me how every public place has loud music. How can people think much less prayer? I hope people are able to be still at home and pray in peace and quiet. May everyone seek Christ.
Father Spyridon, your words of wisdom have kept me afloat through a lot of thought times as a first time mother. Thank you for bringing me closer to God.
Very insightful! I’ve experienced first hand of those unseemly and uninvited thoughts wandering into my mind from out of nowhere. And whenever that happens, I quickly seek God through prayer or think of my favorite verses to say out loud or read them. It has done wonders for me because God quickens me and helps remove these unwarranted feelings and thoughts that have no place in my mind. I quickly learned it’s the devil trying to play mind games and I’m so thankful I have the Holy Spirit in me to be quick on my feet to pray immediately. At first, I struggled but eventually I caught on. Always, always keep our eyes on Christ. The more we do that, the stronger you are to overcome these demonic influences and stronger spiritually as the body of Christ.
Thank you Father Spyridon. Your videos are more informative and helpful and comforting than you may realize. I get tremendous benefit from being able to watch these videos, which are often very timely for me personally.
This was very wise. Meditation can be very tempting because it promises more peace, and I am often recommended it, but I have always been slightly suspicious of it. Especially the doctrines of buddism. The negation of existence and emptying of yourself self seems contrary to Christian teaching.
Thank you Father 🙏 This video dropped in a good time. Lately I have been struggling with my own thoughts, with my worldly desires, my relationship with my girlfriend is also failing and I'm struggling to give time to God. But this video has been a reminder to me that I need to spend some time with God and His words🙏
Thank you, Father. My method of meditation is inspired by King David in the book of Psalms. I focus upon Our Father and His Word when I have become distracted or concerned about earthly matters. I prefer to recite the Lord's Prayer in thoughtful contemplation. I go through each statement in my head, focusing on the glory and grace of Our Father and how it has impacted my life. This brings me comfort. Peace Be upon You
Sin comes out of every Pore depending on the situation. I've found that my own Self Pity leads to more Sin than anything else. Overly occupied with self. This causes me to lose Humility.The Devil likes to hide this from me. This seeing my Sin through Pride and Self Pity. Through this he uses self justifacation. The passions all run together.This is my Meditation that I must act upon. Thank you Father Spyridon.
Sometimes i sit in silence with my hand on my heart as i ask Jesus and the Holy Spirit to fill me with their presence. I believe it is a meditation, because i have no words and i just want to sit and be still in the presence of God. Meditation in this way, with Jesus and the Holy Spirit present is perfectly acceptable and even beneficial. Everything for the glory of God. So meditation with God at the centre is not wrong, sometimes it's exactly what my spirit needs! Amen. I hope this finds you well, Christ is risen!
Yeah honestly isn’t that ‘transcental’? I sincerely just question how meditating like this is incompatible with the Christian way of life, obviously taking thoughts captive as they arise, are we really called to not sit in silence and experience peace without ascribing it to the devil influencing us? Nothing but respect for Father Spyridon, but I’m left with questions after watching this
@@TheRittyl I absolutely understand where you coming from. Go deep into the word and pray about it, ask God to reveal the right way to you and even talk to your pastors about it. I did the same and now know when i’m being called to prayer and when God is pouring his spirit upon me to be still and set my heart on him. Every day along with my prayers i do a silent prayer and my heart has learned to be constantly in prayer, i feel filled with the Holy Spirit, and also feel like no sinful thoughts enter my mind because i take a moment daily to be renewed in the spirit (Ephesians 4:17-32, especially verse 23-24). I do recommend you speak to your leaders at Church and others who are also firmly rooted in Jesus Christ, along with your study of the word and you following your convictions have faith God will answer you!
Yes, going into high trance states can expose you to dramatic demonic experiences. It does attract demons because sometimes you go into the consciousness of a demon to fight it and it attacks you - that's part of shamanism. But you can also meditate with God; God forms a protective barrier around you and gives you phrases to meditate on that arise from the Holy Spirit; the meditative practice then heals you as you engage in it. You can feel God-meditation in the depths of your spiritual and physical heart - that is a huge distinction bw mind and bliss-based meditation and connecting to God... Epiphanies come from God. You can never express God through the intellect bc He is a mystery beyond words and even ideas... God bless you, Father!
May this men father spyridon be blessed, even tho i am no worthy to pray for him, i pray so that our lord have mercy on him, because what he does with those small video really helps, i am from montreal canada and here i can say that it is really almost the end of the world we must repent jesus is coming soon and those video are precious in those end times, really happy that my lord made me find these video
