Took me a long time to realize that too. The media gets people to assume that demonic attacks are insane and violent, when in reality it's much more subtle. It's amazing how much easier it is to deal with and control those thoughts when you know it's coming from outside of you.
I’m Catholic but my Orthodox friend told me about your videos. I really appreciate your channel and it’s helped me tremendously. May God bless you Father Moses✝️☦️
Catholic here. There is no reason we can't learn from non Catholics or even non Christians as long as we do not take in anything that does against our faith. Father Moses has a lot of knowledge to offer the world even to non Christians.
@@indi_prime No. Different denominations believe different doctrines. The Body of Christ should have NOT been divided it was a sin And the ones responsible for such divisions will pay in the day of judgement.
I let the devil in my life and I’m slowly recovering from insanity and mental health issues I didn’t realize how blessed I was before but I’ve come back to Jesus Christ and he’s healing me faster than I thought but I ask for you prayers so that I may make a full recovery thank you all and god bless
6:03 Thought-nato like Tornado, 7:37 Conversation with the imagination, 9:35 The Truth Cookie, 11:43 Time-wrap. 13:47 What should we do? - Diagnose it, 15:38 Praying - "Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on me". 16:50 Spiritual books, Audiobooks, hymns, anything to keep me focused away from entertaining the thoughts. 17:28 Sit silently. God bless you!
I initially was laughing at you, at your illustration of demons talking to people, and at the wrong spelling of "thoughtnato". Then you proceeded to explain and criticize all of the things which I do regularly. Excellent video 10/10
Thought-nado🌪️🧠 of hypothetical what-ifs! I never entertain hypotheticals anymore praise God's grace teaching me! Having conversations in imagination land: I don't do this anymore either Glory to God! Boundaries on my thoughts are in place Glory to God ! The only place God can't help you is outside of the present moment. The power of Now teaches all this so well
In the recent past I had an extreme moment of anxiety where I literally felt I was about fall into a panic attack at a restaurant I was with with my girlfriend. I prayed in my head akin to the Jesus prayer and I asked for mercy from him and I had to do it twice but I kid you not I felt the relief pour through me where I didn't feel like I was a pressure cooker about to explode anymore. I struggled afterward but in that moment it truly saved me from a worse outcome I believe.
I have went through "what if" scenarios in my mind for over a year now. It has been a mental hell. It is everything you are describing in this video, which came up in my recommended. I play out "what if" catastrophes in my mind, mostly related to job loss, career failure, responsibilities at work, changing jobs, potential physical disabilities, etc. the thought tornadoes spiral and spiral. I also have the imaginary conversations with co-workers, managers, etc. and end up turning those into additional "what if" scenarios. I also do the time warp continuously, never truly living in the present. I am always regretting something from the past, or being anxious about a potential future that hasn't and may never come to pass. My wife has been telling me its the devil. You have confirmed it. Thank you for this video - from a Catholic brother in Christ.
Man I use to be so susceptible to the imaginary conversations and the timewarp when i was younger and i tormented myself with that without even knowing it. Now in my journey of seeking Christ I've noticed that it has lessened or I catch myself faster and end it quickly, all thanks to the power and mercy of Christ. So grateful!
I had a moment where i was like "God i dont know what to do, clear my mind, help me see the good in every situation, and to know when the devil is trying to attack me!" then i prayed and your video showed up and I wanna say thank you! This video opened my eyes! Thank you!
I agree that the Jesus Prayer is a powerful tool for spiritual warfare and focus. It helps divert the mind from chaotic thoughts and brings peace to the soul. Frequent repetition of this short prayer not only keeps attention on God but also acts as a spiritual shield against intrusive thoughts and temptations. The prayer brings order to a person's inner world, reminding them of God's presence and mercy in every moment of life.
I happy because I’ve said “Lord JESUS CHRIST have mercy on me” so much that when I have a demonic encounter in a dream I’m saying it there too it’s now engraved in my subconscious
Father Moses I just want to say that your utilitarian method to spiritual struggles really helps me alot. I have an engineer's brain, so the way that you present these spiritual struggles, and their solutions, instantly hits me like a truck. I have found that other methods from great Orthodox men online, like Fr. Spyridon, do not really hit me the same. I can watch a 10 minute video of Fr. Spyridon talking about prayer, and take nothing away from it. But something about the way in which you present these ideas helps me so much.
It feels like you're voicing the thoughts hidden in my subconscious, the ones I can't consciously access. But by presenting them like this, you've given me clarity on how to fend off the whispers and urges that lead me toward sin. Thank you for that!
No wonder you were excited and happy, the Holy Spirit guided you all the way through. What a presentation! Powerful! Just what I needed! Glory be to Jesus Christ!
I'm greatly enjoying your content Father, God bless you. In fact it has been a huge help to me as I have returned to the faith after many years. Grateful to you and the community here.
all that was ais in this videos replayed moments that aligned with the topics and made me realize that I thought I was 100% and immediately opened up a whole new view of life.Thanks Father Moses for, you really did a lot for me and may God bless you in abundance.
Thank you so much I am a Catholic but sometimes I feel I live in the past all the times, especially the sinful relationships I was in I want to move on and be a better Christian
I’ve had a stressful week and have had many if not all of the symptoms mentioned. It’s been ages since I’ve been to church, I’ve been wanting to go to a local Orthodox Church but have always made excuses not to go. But I’m going this Sunday, thank you father for all your teachings
Hi I just wanted to say your videos have helped me out quite a bit. I hope you continue making them. They are a breath of fresh air and very unique . I’m a young lady I just started college but I’ve found them to be valuable in getting out of my own way and forging a life I can be proud of. Thank you so much Father Moses, you are such a gem on RUclips
I hate to admit this, but I have been absolutely miserable. I feel like my life has no purpose. I'm in a failed marriage (don't want to divorce because it's one sin I swore I wouldn't commit). I wake up work, sleep, repeat. The priest at my church is woke. All my friends have either died from drugs or are in prison. I love the Lord and our Holy Mother with all my heart. I have so much to be grateful for yet life seems meaningless. I don't like living in today's wicked society or dealing with the public. I live in California, the home of greed, money, narcissists, and Teslas. My God have mercy on me a sinner 🙏
You may have read this verse but to share with you. [7] “Why then,” they asked, “did Moses command that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?” [8] Jesus replied, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning. [9] I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.” and marries another woman commits adultery.” The remarry is the sin Using this verse. Theres a lot more above and below but wanted to give a scripture. Ill pray you are given wisdom on what path you choose
Praying for you brother! Don’t stop trusting in Jesus and our Mother. God always comes through in times of struggle. You must be patient and trust in His Faithfulness. Don’t leave your wife. God put you two together. Be faithful and loving even when she isn’t. Remember God plans for the good of those who love Him! If you feel overworked just take time to take your mind off it all and take rest in Jesus. He gives comfort and rest to His sheep. Take rest in His pierced side. “Oh Blood and Water which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a Fount of Mercy for us, I trust in You.” Jesus saves. There is always hope in Him. Keep the eyes of your heart on Him lest you be drowned in the storms of this world. You are His and no one shall ever pluck you from His Hand. I’ll pray the Rosary for you my friend as well as for all your friends who are in prison or taken their own lives. God bless and may Mother Mary surround you with her Mantle of Protection!
Thank you, Father Moses. Another helpful and timely video in my life. There are times that whatever I'm ruminating on will wake me up in the middle of the night. Then the thoughts of past things of which I feel guilt (and repented of) or fear of future things cause me to ruminate even more, and it's helped to remember that it's demonic influence/the accuser and can be resisted. Those are the times when I repeat the Jesus Prayer. It has helped me so much. Christ is our only hope and refuge.
You seem like a soul with a good heart and good intentions. I respect you for that, Sir, and I wish you all the best, and send a lot of love your way, eventhough I am not religious. ❤
Thank you very much for the heart Sir, I felt bad and it made me feel better. I hope you live in inner peace and joy and have a lot of good things coming your way. ❤️
Father, this is already the second time that I accidentally entered your video without suspecting that it would help me substantially in my fight against evil thoughts. Thank you very much father!
Thank you for this video, father. I find it more helpful than thousand psychologists and therapists. I sometimes have these imaginary conversations. I've always found them weird but they come on their own now and then. Now I know how to combat them better. ✝️
Please keep making these videos, they are a treasure! You are like a father or a big brother to us. Many of us don't get this kind of talk for some reason or another, and it's much needed. Thanks again!
Yes! Depression comes from living in the past, and anxiety comes from living in the future. Brothers and sisters in Christ, please live in the presence with the Lord our Savior. 🙏❤️
But what to do when God puts you daily next to people who traumatized you, and still treat you bad... He says to trust Him, but when I trust, He changes nothing.
As a Protestant I want to say thank you for putting out these videos! Your talks have helped me grow in my faith and walk with Christ. May the LORD bless you and keep you!
@@shhhhhg I really appreciate your kindness in this invitation but I’ll say I would enjoy a lot about the orthodox liturgy and fellowship but I could not be an orthodox in good faith. I would be lying if I said I didn’t believe praying to saints was a Greek pantheism corruption of the church. I’d be lying if I said I did not believe that when Jesus the Christ ate the last supper He celebrated the Passover and brought it to its perfection. I’d be lying if I didn’t say I believe He clearly intended us to celebrate the Lords supper as a Passover once a year at it’s appointed time to remember his suffering sacrifice for us, and that because he died for us we will be passed over judgment to hell. It’s taught in the book of Roman’s that our conscience will bear witness against us. So even if I am absolutely wrong, for me to deny what I believe so that I can be accepted by the Orthodox Church would be a sin on my part. So as a follower of Christ I ask that you pray for me. If I am wrong, that God would show me the truth. But as it stands I can’t be truly orthodox in good faith.
Go talk to a priest and watch more Jay Dyer, Sam Shamoun, and of course Fr. Moses. I pray God Almighty leads you towards the fullness of faith. And I pray that you don't belong to any calvinist branch. @@matthewhamline
I never thought of day dreaming as a tool of destruction. I basically ended a friendship of mine by allowing myself to daydream about what that person likely was doing to further cause me to distrust them.
i used to fall almost on a daily basis into the "thought-nado" before i converted. also the truth cookies is what i feel the Quran and other religious scriptures are.
This is what I needed as a LCpl in the Marines. Really helping me as I am at BAC surrounded by unholiness. Pray for me as start static line jumps next week.
It truly is wondrous that such a video appears so quickly as I am wrestling with these questions myself. I am currently recovering from week-long fever and many things have been revealed. And then next the wheels of the mind started turning, and the anxiety gets going… and that is when a lessor demon comes over to present “an escape, a cure” to which everything goes downhill but who cares because the pain, anxiety and other problems have been “pacified” or “nullified” and it’s all that matters until that too is unsustainable. I cannot continue in this manner. Not just as to what it’s doing to me, but how it’s affecting others in ways I may not be wholly aware of.
OCD really cooks me with this stuff bad. Not fun to deal with it at all, it’s debilitating to such a high degree. As soon as I started coming closer to Christ and finally being honest with God and confessing how I truly feel about him with my words, things started to get better.
Thank you, Father. Your videos, one after another, are so precise and profound in addressing our struggles today. I bookmark and save most of your videos; this is one I have to keep rewatching probably on a weekly basis the rest of the year
@SenseiGuss Sometimes it is, sometimes it's just run away thoughts But I was taking about the times it is, when the voices take over & the person is afflicted
OCD can also be similar. OCD plagues a person with intrusive thoughts and nudges us to engage with the thoughts. In some cases, OCD can even be misdiagnosed as schizophrenia or psychopathy and a number of other problems because an OCD person often excessively identifies with their random thoughts. This includes "voices" in some sense, but it is more of a thought that can feel like it is coming from us and not really an auditory hallucination. Like I have been getting intrusive every few days or sometimes a few times a day of thinking insults toward random people that don't really reflect my true thoughts and feelings toward them. Every person on earth at least occasionally gets random twisted thoughts, even Jesus surely experienced random thoughts of twisted things popping into his head. Many people with diagnosed OCD give more attention to those thoughts than appropriate or our brains can erroneously signal to us that they are important. It would be like having a Gmail account and google erroneously moving random crap from your spam box into your inbox, and marking it as important, while most other people receive the same "spam", but they either delete it without even opening it or they just never consciously see it and it gets automatically deleted. Like Jesus himself might have had a strange random thought at his workplace of hitting someone with a mallet that He was holding or something like that, but He would not have overreacted to the thought, He would have just been like "Psh, that's weird" and moved on without a second glance at the thought. I use Jesus as an example because these sorts of thoughts are not impure in any way, they are innocent random nonsense that just comes with having a human brain. An OCD person, on the other hand, would probably confuse their random violent thought with an impulse, worry that they are some kind of psychopath or a danger to others, and engage in response rituals like some kind of repetitive behavior, or trying to logically refute the thought to reassure ourselves, or even praying in an unhealthy way[turning prayer into an OCD response or validating the thought by praying for forgiveness for the thought]. ruclips.net/video/3LYW4ykzFas/видео.html
Thank you father, i myself am struggling with mental health for years; and it wasnt until i realized to trust fully in God and to be humble that really kicked of my spiritual life. I had a hard time listening to advice and everything went downward and as you said the Devil wraps us into his net. Thank you God bless and Glory to God☦️
Hello Father, just wanted to say as a Roman Catholic I find your videos to be extremely helpful and I feel as if they speak more directly to our struggles as Christian’s in spiritual warfare than I hear from most Catholics I have experience with in person and online. I know that is subjective but when it comes to spirituality I feel more clarity on the Orthodox side even if I have some doctrinal hang ups. Anyways thank you Father for these videos !
I’ve been submitted by the “time warp” in a different way. I’ve been suffering a past, that wasn’t traumatizing, but that was actually very good. And I tend to compare my actual self with my past self, which puts me in a very depressing mental state.
Watching your videos has taught me that there might be religious views that don’t totally align with each other and vise versa but we all brothers and sisters in the Lord Jesus Christ. Keep doing what you’re doing father Moses. Helps a lot

Both Churches teach this.
From the past also comes resentment.
And from the future also comes fear which is a form of anxiety.
False, depression can have multiple causes ranging from neurological disorders, lifestyle, circumstances, the demonic, and many other things.
Thank you for your wisdom and guidance. The imaginary conversations have never led to positive things. I always feel dragged down if I feed into it.
As a Protestant I want to say thank you for putting out these videos! Your talks have helped me grow in my faith and walk with Christ. May the LORD bless you and keep you!
Praise God!
now, hopefully you can leave that heretical church of your s & come to Christ!
Come to Orthodoxy, we worship like the apostles did
@@GMGMGMGMGMGMGMGMGMGM lol what heresy would that be?
@@shhhhhg I really appreciate your kindness in this invitation but I’ll say I would enjoy a lot about the orthodox liturgy and fellowship but I could not be an orthodox in good faith. I would be lying if I said I didn’t believe praying to saints was a Greek pantheism corruption of the church. I’d be lying if I said I did not believe that when Jesus the Christ ate the last supper He celebrated the Passover and brought it to its perfection. I’d be lying if I didn’t say I believe He clearly intended us to celebrate the Lords supper as a Passover once a year at it’s appointed time to remember his suffering sacrifice for us, and that because he died for us we will be passed over judgment to hell. It’s taught in the book of Roman’s that our conscience will bear witness against us. So even if I am absolutely wrong, for me to deny what I believe so that I can be accepted by the Orthodox Church would be a sin on my part. So as a follower of Christ I ask that you pray for me. If I am wrong, that God would show me the truth. But as it stands I can’t be truly orthodox in good faith.
Go talk to a priest and watch more Jay Dyer, Sam Shamoun, and of course Fr. Moses. I pray God Almighty leads you towards the fullness of faith. And I pray that you don't belong to any calvinist branch. @@matthewhamline
Thank you father Moses this video really helped me out God bless you keep it up
Thank You Father Moses
I never thought of day dreaming as a tool of destruction. I basically ended a friendship of mine by allowing myself to daydream about what that person likely was doing to further cause me to distrust them.
God bless you Father
This is one of the most helpful videos I've watched. Thank you father!
Your explanations are perfect, please write a book
Thank you Father☦️!
God has blessed me with this message. This is something I've been dealing with heavily for days now. Thank you Lord
i used to fall almost on a daily basis into the "thought-nado" before i converted. also the truth cookies is what i feel the Quran and other religious scriptures are.
This is what I needed as a LCpl in the Marines. Really helping me as I am at BAC surrounded by unholiness.
Pray for me as start static line jumps next week.
Good luck bro.
As a Marine I know what you’re experiencing, brother. Praying for you. God bless.
Oh brother I needed this. Glory to Jesus
Thank you Father this came to me at the exact right time. God bless you and keep you.
Who shall save me from this flesh of sin? Thanks be to God - through Jesus Christ our Lord.
i love this man to watch i am sick of lust and sin
Thank you for the insight that I obtained from you Father Moses, God Bless us all
The timing on this is immaculate
Thanks father, I love you because Christ loved us first.
I am more than conquerors! We all are!!!
The fact that I stumbled with this video when anxietie thoughts were air striking my head
It truly is wondrous that such a video appears so quickly as I am wrestling with these questions myself. I am currently recovering from week-long fever and many things have been revealed. And then next the wheels of the mind started turning, and the anxiety gets going… and that is when a lessor demon comes over to present “an escape, a cure” to which everything goes downhill but who cares because the pain, anxiety and other problems have been “pacified” or “nullified” and it’s all that matters until that too is unsustainable.
I cannot continue in this manner. Not just as to what it’s doing to me, but how it’s affecting others in ways I may not be wholly aware of.
OCD really cooks me with this stuff bad. Not fun to deal with it at all, it’s debilitating to such a high degree. As soon as I started coming closer to Christ and finally being honest with God and confessing how I truly feel about him with my words, things started to get better.
It feels like OCD thoughts are hard to control. Father Moses gave some good advice tho
Thank you for taking the time to continue posting and sharing wisdom. God bless your family.
☦️❤️
Thank you for teaching us who haven’t found our Orthodox home yet ☦️🤍
Thank you, Father. Your videos, one after another, are so precise and profound in addressing our struggles today. I bookmark and save most of your videos; this is one I have to keep rewatching probably on a weekly basis the rest of the year
Thank you father Moses
Thoughtnado = early stage psychosis
Christ is King
May the Lord bless & keep you Father Moses
not true
@SenseiGuss Sometimes it is, sometimes it's just run away thoughts
But I was taking about the times it is, when the voices take over & the person is afflicted
OCD can also be similar. OCD plagues a person with intrusive thoughts and nudges us to engage with the thoughts. In some cases, OCD can even be misdiagnosed as schizophrenia or psychopathy and a number of other problems because an OCD person often excessively identifies with their random thoughts. This includes "voices" in some sense, but it is more of a thought that can feel like it is coming from us and not really an auditory hallucination. Like I have been getting intrusive every few days or sometimes a few times a day of thinking insults toward random people that don't really reflect my true thoughts and feelings toward them. Every person on earth at least occasionally gets random twisted thoughts, even Jesus surely experienced random thoughts of twisted things popping into his head. Many people with diagnosed OCD give more attention to those thoughts than appropriate or our brains can erroneously signal to us that they are important. It would be like having a Gmail account and google erroneously moving random crap from your spam box into your inbox, and marking it as important, while most other people receive the same "spam", but they either delete it without even opening it or they just never consciously see it and it gets automatically deleted. Like Jesus himself might have had a strange random thought at his workplace of hitting someone with a mallet that He was holding or something like that, but He would not have overreacted to the thought, He would have just been like "Psh, that's weird" and moved on without a second glance at the thought. I use Jesus as an example because these sorts of thoughts are not impure in any way, they are innocent random nonsense that just comes with having a human brain. An OCD person, on the other hand, would probably confuse their random violent thought with an impulse, worry that they are some kind of psychopath or a danger to others, and engage in response rituals like some kind of repetitive behavior, or trying to logically refute the thought to reassure ourselves, or even praying in an unhealthy way[turning prayer into an OCD response or validating the thought by praying for forgiveness for the thought]. ruclips.net/video/3LYW4ykzFas/видео.html
Exactly what I needed, Thank you. Been reading the secret war just started it so I’m to far in.
Thank you father, i myself am struggling with mental health for years; and it wasnt until i realized to trust fully in God and to be humble that really kicked of my spiritual life. I had a hard time listening to advice and everything went downward and as you said the Devil wraps us into his net. Thank you God bless and Glory to God☦️
Thank you for sharing wisdom. I'm catholic, our priests says the same thing.
Hello Father, just wanted to say as a Roman Catholic I find your videos to be extremely helpful and I feel as if they speak more directly to our struggles as Christian’s in spiritual warfare than I hear from most Catholics I have experience with in person and online. I know that is subjective but when it comes to spirituality I feel more clarity on the Orthodox side even if I have some doctrinal hang ups. Anyways thank you Father for these videos !
I’ve been submitted by the “time warp” in a different way. I’ve been suffering a past, that wasn’t traumatizing, but that was actually very good. And I tend to compare my actual self with my past self, which puts me in a very depressing mental state.
Everyones mental health is fragile. No one is safe.
Jay Dyer sent me. Father, you come across like a coach, which resonates well with me. Thanks for this. God bless.

Jay Dyer is one of my primary sources of info online

@@CognitiveDissident-b7mGod bless you, bro.
Thank you so much, Father Moses, for this insight. It´s like you read my mind while explaining how the enemy attacks me. May God bless you!
Watching your videos has taught me that there might be religious views that don’t totally align with each other and vise versa but we all brothers and sisters in the Lord Jesus Christ. Keep doing what you’re doing father Moses. Helps a lot
13:05 felt than one. Amen
