      Whenever you are bothered and frustrated, stop thinking immediately and pray ‘Lord I am with you in this moment, nothing else but God in this moment I’m living.’ I think only of God, ignore all feelings and thoughts, just return to God quickly in the moment you are living. Just keep going back to him honey, that is the battle, the devil rips you away from God by wicked or self-defeating thoughts, And you must remain alert to realize this and fly right back to God in that moment, thinking of nothing else, just God.

      Palestinians are the direct descendants of Canaan, which is another name for Israel or Phoenicia, the Sons of Light, or Scions of the Phoenix, and derives from Sirius, the basis of the Base 60 Egyptian Sothic Calendar (Set/Seth/Setian/Saturnian) of the Solar Lunar (Solomon) Metonic Zodiac Calendar.
      Israel is the Canaanite word for Saturn, and means El; fruit of Isis and Ra (Mercury Moon Sun)
      The Capital of which is Tyre Lebanon offshore from Urshu Salaam root of Jerusalem and means City of Peace, or City of the New Moon
      Islam
      The Temple of Solomon is still there, called the Temple of Melqart. Phoenicia was formed when Rameses II married Jezebel Queen of Sidon in 911BC forming Neo Assyrian Babylon, the greatest empire in history until Alexander the Great sacked it in 332BC
      Jews were Celtic tribes of the Celtoi Iberians or Celtoi Beiru, root of Beirut, and the Assyrians of Persia. Hebrew and Iberian have the same root meaning Over Sea, as in those who sailed from over the sea, Gibraltar, Gabriel's Altar, associated with the West, and the rise of the New Moon. Islam
      The Xtian Cross is the Cross of Baal, or the Cross of Tyre and Representative of the Cross Quarter days of the Solstice Equinox Calendar: connected to the Lunar Minimums and Maximums, Halloween and Valentines, Samhain and Lupercalia.
      Palestine comes from Phallus Stone, as in the Shiva Lingam, or Pallas Stone from Pallas in Gemini; the twin pillars that guard the entry into Pan's Grotto or Garden. Pan is the Slavic word for LORD. Also called the Altar of Ra or Philosopher's Stone; The Holy Grail of Gehenna, where a burnt offering (Holocaust) is made. Thus the Phoenix; reborn in a Baptism of Fire. Where Jesus asked Peter WHO AM I? ...You are Messiah!
      John the Baptist associated with the Summer Solstice was himself a Setian, and wore a Goatskin pelt, like the Scots, and Tartan or Tartessos, and Worshipped Bel and Moloch, hence Loch Ness and the Baal and Moloch Hills, and bagpipes and Carynx, the Trumpets of Capricorn (Capstone/ *_horned_* head) that Tutmoses III aka Joshua used to conquer Megiddo via the Goat Track, when he slowed the Sun (Eclipse).
      Capricorn transitions into Aquarius Kurios, the Lord, and is the reason Christmas is called Saturnalia, representing Easter: the Death and Resurrection of the Sun of Man. The reason Day turns to Night and the Sky rolls up as a scroll is because it's an astrological calendar marking the transition into the Age of Aquarius, the Golden Age of Saturn. An age that will be ruled by Women.
      Which is why it is said so by a man's own lips alone only is he so judged, and for the Wage of Sin is Israel
      The Angel of Death
      All Xtians will go to Hell

    I visited an Orthodox Church today, Father. I haven’t been inside a church in almost 20 years. Ill be 30 in March, with two kids! Time flies.
    I stumbled across your videos several months ago, and one video more recently regarding possession. Your explanation of long term possession resonated in a way I didn’t think it could. I had an experience with what many would call a demon when I was 19. Whatever happened, it certainly wasn’t of the earth as known by current science. I was attacked by something I couldn’t see. Upon being awoken in my room. Not sleep paralysis. But i digress…
    I truly believe that after seing this video, and periodically repenting one evening last month, from roughly 10 pm December 28th to 2 am on the 29th, I was able to receive what has only been described to me as receiving the holy spirit. That morning into the evening, I was filled with an energy I am still struggling to explain. It changed me.
    I had repented, truly, even struggling with the very existence of the God I was reaching out to, I repented to Jesus Christ, I asked that I be rid of my lust, I asked for my soul to be cleansed. I asked for a sign that I wasn’t praying to nothing, or even worse, something sinister in being. I woke up, refreshed, but different… i saw through my eyes, but I saw differently… I thought as if my brain was on tracks, my own thoughts, but guided by purity. I had no lust. I felt as though my very being was glowing. I was happy… beyond expression. Filled with love. Although immeasurably unexpected, I was fortunate to have experienced it throughout most of the day, until I broke my fast that evening, and started to become just myself again. It was profound, beyond.
    I could explain more, but this post is long enough. I just want to say thank you Father Spyridon, you have changed my life for the better, in more ways that i am sure are to come. Thank you, truly.
    To anyone else that suffered this lengthy post, thank you for reading my story, and to those that don’t believe, especially so, know that I was like you, and I hope that my experience can help lead you to your own!

      Bless you and thank you for sharing your story. You called out to Him and He answered! Jesus is changing you and calling you to get even closer to Him. Keep reading your bible, try to find (if possible) like minded people. The closer we are with our Lord, the more evil will tempt us, evil forces will be after us. We live in those times when we need to be very courageous and brave to stand for righteousness. Keep to His light, flee all darkness, keep on that narrow path and it will lead you to eternal salvation. Jesus has touched your heart, keep persevering as a true soldier for Jesus Christ. He is standing beside you and walking with you ❤ So proud of you, keep marching on !
      May God’s grace and peace be with you, always.

    Thank you Father spyrion. I've recently been introduced to Orthodoxy. Honestly I feel like I have encountered a gold mine. I know this is the right path. Jesus Christ is in every sermon. I've been tossed to and fro here in the USA with emotionalism or something that is cold. Looking back to my 20's and my relationship with Jesus and His love and care for me. I carried a child with the guidance of the Holy Spirit and he came upon me after I bore her. You see those around me had encouraged me to abort her. The Holy Spirit lit upon me and he was telling me that I was doing the will of God. My whole room was glowing in His presence. I had been raped. I named her Elizabeth. Promise of God is the meaning of it. I made the right choice. She's 35 and bore 4 children herself. In all I have 9. I've been very blessed indeed.

      This is not what the Orthodox Church teaches. You can not pray a prayer and spend the rest of your life in spiritual darkness and ignorance. Faith without works is dead. We are called to stand before the one who was lifted up for our sakes. We are called to live the life of the church and to participate in the Sacraments.

      In 1517, an Ex-catholic monk Martin Luther PROTESTED against the Pope's wrong doings, but FAILED TO GO BACK TO THE ORIGINAL Eastern Orthodox Church- he founded man-made Sect that rejected the Early Church Tradition.

    Thank you Fr Spyridon! I am lucky to live in the Orthodox country of Georgia, but I look forward to your videos every week! As an English speaking member of the Orthodox Church, they are very inspiring and strengthening in our struggle to reach out to God, and against the powers that rule this world.

    “We are weaker…we compromise…” So true. I think I’m strong, and then I capitulate. A lot. 😢 I don’t know how I got this way. I used to be much more brave. 🥺

    Thank you for your Wisdom Father. I know God has a plan for me and trust that he removed a person from the table that was serving poison. Going through a dark and rough time in a marriage. Infidelity and abandonment. Watched my wife completely change and embrace the passions of this world. My faith is strong and I know as one of God's children I am loved and I must seek peace and not create chaos. Show as much love as I can. Not let my anger rule me. I recite the Jesus Prayer often. Thank you for the strength that you share with us all. Amen, God is good. ❤

      Beware your self-confidence doesn’t trip you up friend. See your weakness, for only then will you trust in God’s strength and not the fantasy of your own. God bless you.

      The Apostle Peter said the same things.. But ended up Denying Christ three times. That's why It's so dangerous to have Self-Confidence in our Faith.

  • @Jonathan_DeVito
    @Jonathan_DeVito Před 7 měsíci +3

    Amen, Father. Many temptations to seek comfort today. It's hard to compare ourselves to the people and saints of the past. We need more Spiritual athletes in our modern times. A good place to start would probably be imitating the athletes of our times. But because we make up the Church, our righteousness must exceed theirs. Hopefully, when we repent we could return a little closer to the Church from past generations.

    Father Spiridon, were you by any chance in Moscow in 2019? For some reason it seems to me that you asked me to take a picture of you in front of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior. God bless you!

    • @FatherSpyridonROCOR
      @FatherSpyridonROCOR  Před 7 měsíci +7

      I was in Moscow just before the UK went into lockdowns, and I did ask a passer-by to take such a photo. If that was you, thank you again, what an extraordinary thing to have heard from you. God bless you.

    Father, the power of your sermon is always shedding light when I find myself needing it the most. When I lost my guiding light, my grandfather who was also an Orthodox Priest, I did not think that the loving and soothing preaching will reach me the same way again, but God had other plans. Thank God for bringing Father Spyridon into my life and the lives of my brothers and sisters all across the world. God bless you, Father!
