    I'm not giving up. I'm struggling till the end. God help me! I got a shot of God's grace recently, a bit of fortitude to not give up. I went to Church & felt it deep down yesterday. I do hate sin, even when I mess up. God help me not to mess up w/ the big stuff! I won't give up on the little things, b/c then I'll be doomed. God help us!!!

      "He who struggles to the end is crowned"
      Don't give up, even if you feel that your faith is faltering. "Lord I believe, help my unbelief!"

    I think of death often. It can come when we less expect. I see many people on 20s or 30s (like me) saying tomorrow tomorrow...but anything can happen. Repent now and ask God to stay repentant. Thats what i do...falling and getting up. God is the only way

    O Lord! Help me to struggle! I get very despairing in the middle of the night! If I turn to God and the Jesus Prayer the feelings leave. I am not very faithful in fasting and give myself excuses so I beg God to help me hate my sin more!

    To resist takes effort on our part. Satan doesn't really have to work very hard with most Christians since we're so lazy. We can make it on time to work, movies, concerts, yet can barely arrive before the gospel reading. We battle ourselves more than satan.

    • @orthodox1717
      @orthodox1717 2 года назад +3

      I tend to agree. I think we can definitely be our own worst enemy at times.

      @etcwhatever 2 года назад +6

      Even people who dont watch movies or only ones on the saints has other problems...sometimes i surrender to apathy or tiredness and I am just sitting thinking of nothing. We need to observe our behaviours and ask Christ to change us.

      @OrthodoxEthos  2 года назад +12

      Good that you recognize it. Now call upon God continually until you no longer are a slave to sin. Ask Him to enlighten you what you need to do to AVOID sin. Take refuse in the saints. Find a spiritual father.

      In the end it's the soul or the body that wins.Watch what you watch online and stop the entry points of sin .Be careful of the sins of the flesh it takes a lot of faith and self-discipline to do this but it can be done with help and daily fellowship with the Holy Spirit and reading the Bible. God always gives us a way out of sin and He never gives us more than we can handle.

  • @kkonrad4165

    Thankfully God helped me hate sin. I naturally love it. But, praying to see WHY I should hate it, and yeah, it's easier to hate the sin through HIS eyes! Gotta want it and pray for it.

      Fr. Heers is right on ,it's undiluted and very real. I never watched any of his videos,I suspect the Holy Spirit guided me to watch this video and is strengthening Christians who seek him.

    We are trained we must win in the world for its glory but we cannot overcome the world and receive the Glory of God without first losing to it. Crucified and so sheered of it all. The Royal Path our Lord Jesus leads us gently to and carries us beyond.
    Glory to God

      Yes. The old man must die in the waters of baptism, body and soul be immersed in God’s loving and purifying fire.
