      Recognize no one on earth as your father in his essence for by nature and by essence, there is only one Father, that is, God the Father. (Check out Matthew 23:9 ❤)

I asked myself what does that mean. A couple of hours later this video popped up. So timely!
    It would be nice to receive spiritual counsel from you Father if you have time.

    Thank you Fr. Spyridon for your channel. You’ve been a great blessing to me and my wife as we’ve started to study Orthodox theology. I was a Protestant my whole life until I started to study Church history around 3 years ago.
    At first I was on the road to Roman Catholicism but ultimately the Lord has truly led me and my family to Orthodoxy. I’m now in catechumen classes with my Greek Orthodox parish here in Alaska.
    Thank you for being apart of our journey home! God bless.

    That was a lovely and humorous ending Fr. Spyridon! I find it so refreshing when an Orthodox Fr engages into light humor. To me, not only the green screen paranoia is put to rest for those who questioned you on that, but also the wrong notion I've always had, as a Catholic, that my Orthodox brothers and sisters were way too serious and averse to "lighting up things a bit". My heart is filled with joy after watching the PS ending! God bless you Fr Spyridon. Gustavo, Boston , MA

      Leave the religion behind is what Taking up the Cross means. The Jews that were hellenized were religious and pious but they did understand what living amongst the impure meant, the spiritual dead.
      Walking the true narrow path of spiritual purification is what Christ called us unto. And infant baptism doesn't cleanse a believer, only His Spirit baptism does this.
      Adult baptism is what accompanies the Confession of faith in Yeshua the Messiah, as God the Son. Acts 2:38 -40 (Confession of sins to a priest is merely fellowshipping with another member of the body of Christ that understands what sin means , and that would mean that the sin against the Holy Spirit, He has been grieved) Therefore take up your Cross and leave sin behind. Repent and sin no more.
      The orthodox believers that have persevered will naturally assert the correct doctrine from the true Scriptural context and interpretation.

      Like all Bolshevik, Phanar and Jesuit creations, the Ukrainian nation is completely fake. It is of Satan, as is the "Ukrainian Orthodox Church".
      The Russians were baptised in Kiyv. Ukraine was the military frontier of the Russian Tsardom that was populated by Serbs soldiers. These Serbs eventually assimilated and became part of the Russian nation. These Russians were then turned into Ukrainians by the Bolsheviks.
      That is the truth.
      We await the coming of the Russian Tsar; the Great Prince sent by God himself (Daniel 12:1) who will be the only the Antichrist will fear, and a rebirth of Holy Orthodox Russia for a short while before the end.

      There is freedom & liberation at the foot of the cross of Jesus Christ and the blood that was shed on that cross!!!! Cry at His feet, give Him all the pain & suffering you’ve gone through (he’s knows all about that!) he knows what it’s like to be rejected! He knows what it feels like to be persecuted & not loved! HE KNOWS YOUR HEART, now let Him into every part of your heart! When we surrender everything to him and allow him to shut his light in the dark hurt places of our heart he takes those dead things, he takes the sin that is a result of years of hurt, pain and suffering and he make something beautiful out of it if you allow Him! He did it for me and I know he will do it for you. It was when I began surrendering all to Him that I saw the fruit of doing that. “The fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

    Father, I must confess, I watched quite a few of your videos lately and I thought “there’s no way the animals could be that loud, he’s just adding them in post-production, I’m probably just listening to some crazy scamming British guy on RUclips! “ 😂 I had to do a real double take at the end of this video when you saw fit to show us your sheep. In truth, Fr. Bailey, your videos have helped me immensely lately. They greatly inspired a speech I made at my brothers wedding. I wanted to gently remind everyone of the centrality of Christ to our loves and the Cross to our lives, and your videos helped inspire me and my words.

    Making the sign of the cross with sincerity burn the demons. 10:15 mark. I had no idea. I pray a hedge of protection around my family, home, and classroom. I make the sign of the cross ✝️. I am wielding a powerful weapon and only just now realized it.

    We do live in a world of deception, but you my brother in Christ are the genuine article. All a person has to do is let the Holy Spirit confirm truth to them. I never once even thought you were not being truthful with your background, of trees, grass, the woods and the sounds of sheep. It all creates a beautiful setting for you to deliver GOD'S Word. Peace and Blessings to you! 🙏 We love listening to your GOD Inspired videos. Thank you for them.
