    As an Orthodox Christian, I have found that it is better to know my enemies than to ignore them.

      As often as you can, as long as you can, attend the services.
      While in the services focus ONLY on the service.
      Hopelessness is demonic. Christ is the author and finisher of our faith. Its done. Why have no hope in something that is finished.
      You just have to walk in the path laid by the Saints and by Christ.
      Pray.

      Sometimes it can be very difficult to forgive yourself for sinning, but please remember God's love for is greater than ours. He became one of us. He understands our condition. To dwell on your sin will only make it worse. That is the devil's work. He uses discouragement and despair to drag us down, it is his favorite tool. He will drag you down further if you loose hope in the Lord. Know that God forgives you! In His ineffable love, He forgives you. Take comfort in this. If you can't forgive yourself, leap for joy knowing that He does. Pick yourself up knowing this! He loves you! No matter what! By the very fact that you feel bad He knows that you love Him and are sorry for offending Him. He knows your heart. Our God is so wonderfully kind and loving. 🙏🙏🙏

    My beloved brothers and sisters in Christ, please offer up a prayer for my wife and if possible add her to your prayer list at your local Church. She is only 27 and has been diagnosed with liver cancer, we don't know whether stage 3 or 4. Her name is Mary. We have a 2 year old. Thank you 🙏
    Everyone always feel these are things that "happen to someone else", wife included. We have taken each other, our lives, God, and everything God has given us for granted. Please tell the people you love that they are your world, hold onto them as if there is no tomorrow, never let the sun set on your anger. Christ is risen!

      The divine healing that comes with Christ is the final answer to our betrayal by sin, expressed so devastatingly by the cancer of death that envelops our body, temple of the Holy Spirit. Christ the very Son of God rebukes the betrayal and is our pure and perfect holy Hope. For He told us that He brings us His glory, taking us beyond the betrayal of living in the flesh and turning our gaze from God. The certainty of earthly death to all brings us to our senses, inviting us to live in Christ who defeats all betrayal!
      So stand intact as the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune thrash at us during our earthly pilgrimage, our epic oddyssey back home to heaven. When we build our house on the Rock that is Christ our King, God's perfect answer to betrayal, we are lifted up beyond it, to where heartbreak will not prevail against us who cling to Him.

    On two occasions I met Satan, both meetings arranged by the Holy Spirit. His thoughts were fully open to me. I was very troubled, asking the Lord to forever keep me apart from this horrible creature. The devil is extremely brilliant and he loves philosophy. That may explain why so much of modern Church theology is apostate. Thank you, dear brother, for this important message.

    Father, bless. Hi, Father. How are you? Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. I had a thought. I have known some Satanists throughout my life, one now a Christian, and others still possibly practicing. Could you please speak on, "Can a Satanist be Saved?"

    What i fear the most is how things around us is becoming normal that defies the word of God. The younger generation will have nobody that teaches them the right way and instead media and even the churches now are trying to teach people the wrong way and that terrifies me to the core. The churches used to be a place for guidance and a place where you could ask for repentence by a genuine priest. To twist the word of God and make people believe this it is pure insanity and pure evil. The government will continue to act against the scriptures and they will contineu to ask why people are so miserable today and change everything without mentioning the word of God. People teach kids that sin is a virtue and virtue is a sin. There is a reason why the bible is the most important book of all and to change that...Can´t find words.
