@@blasted2691 Thank you. It depends on your interests, but the pilgrimages to Mount Athos and Russia are some of my favourites. I hope you find them useful.
I asked for strength and God gave me difficulties to make me strong. I asked for wisdom and God gave me problems to learn to solve. I asked for prosperity and God gave me a brain and brawn to work. I asked for courage and God gave me dangers to overcome. I asked for love and God gave me people to help. I asked for favours and God gave me opportunities. I received nothing I wanted. I received everything I needed.
I am a nothing compared to you. Completely worthless. I'm suffering with the pains of cancer and all I do is ask for mercy. I'm not even worthy to mention it. God forgive me
@@Yorgo1967not worthless to the lord Jesus Christ, never discount the price paid for you brethren stay resolute in your faith and your lord, I’ll be praying for you
Lord have mercy on me, for I have sinned greatly. Because of my Autism I have been greatly mislabeled and mistreated during the darkest days of my life, wherein I receive no help from my fellow men. I pray you help me overcome this depression of mine, and that I endure my suffering and make peace with my shortcomings.
Depressed since always, tried even electroshock therapy. Unemployed, unqualified, dont know if i'll have food next moth, let alone a roof. Never, never, gave up my faith. I know the Lord is with me at all times.
Depression is aggression/anger against one's self. Anger is Thanatos (death). Pray that God gives you His grace to help you forgive yourself, to be forgiven. God will free you of your depression and lead you to eternal peaceful and fruitful life. God bless you.
@@johnnytass2111 It can be a physical imbalance in the body. For example, I was extremely low on electrolytes last year and started suffering earth shattering depression, despondency and anxiety to the point of wanting to end it all. It was terrifying. The demons see these weaknesses and prey on us through them. We must acknowledge the problem and ask God to help us fix it, or bear it. Our bodies (including mind) and souls are intertwined and we must focus on health of both. We must find the root of the problem as depression can be caused by physical ailments just as much as of the mind. We can't write it off as one thing, it can be many things. We must pray for God to reveal what it is to us, asking intercession of the Theotokos and Saints (I go to Sts. Panteleimon, Luke the Surgeon and Nektarios the Wonderworker personally) and to bear it if it can't be healed.
I was not aided by anything until the mushroom. I believe God uses natural tools. Prescribed antidepressants had already nearly done me in completely. I pray you find a key to unlock your natural spiritual responsiveness to God's love.
@𝕂𝕚𝕥𝕂𝕒𝕥𝕟𝕚𝕡 ℂ𝕒𝕥 ie, it's not some unfixable "condition" which modernity needs us to believe. Eat better, move more, that imbalance disappears. Returning to our roots and God's foods is far more reliable than outsourcing mental health and thereby daily motivation to a psychologist or pill mill.
Yes, The Orthodox Faith does ask something from you. God does. This is in contrast with the comfortable Western Confessions. Orthodoxy pushes you. In this struggle, you purify and become stronger, but struggle is always ongoing. The temptations may change, but the evil one is always shifting position. Be vigilant, fast and pray. Amen.
father spyridon your books are very very good. I bought several books, almost all of them, and what can I say, I haven't had the pleasure of reading for a long time. I finished Orthodoxy and the kingdom of Satan and now I am in Holy Russia with you and I enjoy the pilgrimage.
Our Savior is coming and I pray we may live a life in repentance every day (please pray for me as well. As a young adult, I face many spiritual challenges). Let's pray as well that God restores the UK.
Put on the armor of God and hold on tight. I'm facing spiritual attacks myself. We are close!!!! Remember John 10 27-29 If we are His, no one will snatch us out of His hand. My best wishes and prayers are with you.
I can attest: I was severely chastised for wrongdoing, I KNEW at the time it was happening that it was punishment, it was literally something I could watch happening to me and could in no way control, and it led me to Christ and orthodoxy. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner
Hello father Spyridon. Thanks for the tips, advice. Thanks for your time and effort for us on RUclips. God restore your health. Have a beautiful day. Bye. Rudi from Slovenija - Europe.
I have so many struggles at the moment and I try so hard everyday every turn is like a rollercoaster ride my family is evil selfish who only care about themselves I was ready to end it today and I found this thank you I know this is my fault I blame nobody else but little old me I'm always alone I use to be rap artist signed to a label and everything but that world was so evil I believe God took me out of it and I'm so grateful truthfully I love the Lord I just keep praying for strength to keep going on top of that I'm trying to recover from a addiction noticing that I'm weak and I see God is showing me who I really am and I can see what's affecting me thank you father Spyridon for this message today as I draw closer to God 🙏💗💗💗
Thank you I finally got some help ☺️ God is amazing Amen Amen Amen 🙏❤️ I am so grateful recovery starts now thank you I appreciate you took time to send a message God bless you
Something I struggle with, how do I build a business to provide for my family, while not “chasing” money or without getting self willed? Sort of aimless which I wonder if its not laziness? I want to understand on a practical level, how do I not live with expectations and self will without becoming lazy and expecting Jesus to fill the gap? I really struggle with this dilemma.
It's about surrendering to God's will imho and then make your moves and if God can bless what you are doing then it's all good. So if you keep the sabbath but work your ass off the rest of the week I see it as good thing. I work as best as I can for the glory of God.
I have a construction company. Always things have been well. I reunited with the Lord last year. Was drinking daily. And much more corrupt sins in my life. Seems I am going thru a financial hard ship now. It’s like wen I was living for the world’s pleasure things were always good. I stay praying and asking for help. Seems things are not better. Although I am receiving work opportunities now. But for 3 months I been bidding some jobs. But not getting them. I guess because of cost. Is this spiritual suffering? Becuz sometimes I say lord I have ask and believe. But no break thru. I need a blessing now. Pray for me please. I must endure til the end
Lord have mercy on me, for I am a dirty, stubborn, lazy, rotten, sinner. Every day I feel as if I fall from you because I sin, and that I cant do anything about it. But by your will, you will lift me back up and bring back that love that I once felt. That voice. That beaty.
Even though I am a Born Again Christian, I Struggle with Many Things. I have some health issues, I deal with Anxiety and Depression that No Medication has helped. I lost my some of my outter Joy and i expect for it to return But I Do have Unspeakable Joy That Only The Holy Spirit Within Me Can Utter! When I think about The Lord Jesus Christ and A Ressurected Body in Eternity With GOD-My Heart LEAPS FOR JOY!!!!!!
I am not a catholic anymore for pure doctrinal reasons but I agreed with most of this message. Except, when he spoke about the heresy of believing that Christians will be taken away from earth before the tribulation, he doesn’t seem to understand that it is the bride element (the chosen few who worshipped God in spirit and in truth) who will certainly be raptured before the onset of tribulation such as the world has never seen. This is a biblical truth, not an idealistic thought of some. So obviously we cannot all be going through that particular tribulation period now, although there’s no doubt that we all go through some form of tribulation.
Same. I agree whole heartedly! I was very surprised by Fr. Spyridon’s non belief in the Rapture. Jesus called the many but only the few are chosen. Can’t get any more plainer than that indeed.
I have never heard someone talk about suffering in such a loving way. I'm a little lost when it comes to my belief system, but I find that a lot of ministers tell us to "deal with it" essentially as it pertains to suffering for Christ. This video was streams of living water for me. Thank you.
Orthodox Christian? I genuinely don't know, and I am curious. Edit: The pinned comment literally takes me to an Amazon page with literature answering my question... Thank you for your wisdom, you have my attention.
Good by advice only advice worth taking and it will be hard people in the US suffer more because they've denied Christ in because the people are breaking laws only anger is when someone gets hurt that shouldn't don't denie Jesus Christ if ask about me denie me on purpose

Dear Lord have mercy upon my soul, as I have failed to see this but thank you to bring me to hear this message,. I pray to refresh and clean my holy spirit and have mercy upon this poor soldier in Christ, for I am a sinner and has lost their way. I Love you Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior... Amen Thank You God, and thank you for bring me her, and thank you Father Spyridon.
I was once very prideful of my looks, arrogant about myself and took no humility in myself, to the detriment of myself and others. I suddenly gained a lot of weight, seemingly overnight, and "fell", but that was a sort of reset of my life. I was fully aware of my sins and I am so grateful to God for this lesson 🙏
Thank you, Father Spyridon. We also have physical problems and health problems that we endure. How are we to look at these when they can go on for decades, causing intense suffering of our mind, body, and spirit? How can we not feel as though we are being punished?
i’m with you. this message was very tough for me because i grumble non-stop with the chronic illness i experience. i felt like God was punishing me but it was helpful for my mentality to read scripture daily, also to be aware that every apostle except John was martyred (and he still suffered torture, labor camp, etc.) and we know God was not punishing the apostles
Fr. Please pray for me. My wife is leaving me. I am trying to endure.... Is so hard to endure with patience... It's so hard to be thankful. God help me. Help me by your prayers holy Father.
Yes, such a difficult truth, and yet without trials we have no means of separating ourselves from the world. Meanwhile, evangelical ministers tell their congregations that God wants their inister to fluy in private jets. America is in a bad spiritual state.
If you read my message... Scroll down and see all the Comments calling these men their FATHERS... Too bad their Father isn't God... Blinded by manmade trash.... As an actual Child of God, through believing on the Lord Jesus Christ... I am DEAD TO THE LAW.... Amen... Forever Sealed and Saved
He who endures to the end endures because Jesus has already saved them by His grace through faith not of works or a process of works (Eph 2:8 -9 KJV). Romans 8:27 KJV "And He that searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because He makes intercession for the saints *according to the will of God. 28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. 29 For whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom He did predestinate, them He also called: and whom He called, them He also justified: and whom He justified, them He also glorified. 31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? 32 He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? 33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifies. 34 Who is he that condemns? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, Who is even at the right hand of God, Who also makes intercession for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us. 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
@@noway165 When GOD saves you and indwells you with His Holy Spirit you will obey Him and bear good works called fruit of the Spirit. A more complete reading would even be all of Ephesians especially the first chapter KJV. I hope you do.
Lord will deliver his promise we know. Attending to church more for even manual tasks needed. It helps believe me, I know. When Jesus Almighty saved me and opened my eyes, I took the risk of loosing all my relatives more importantly my father and mother. I live in Turkey and they are muslims. I cant explain how taboo to follow the real truth here. You are marked till rest of your life. You are waiting for the potential islamic state rise(Its pretty close to be a reality in Turkey too sadly) and get executed for leaving islam. I am no longer in contact with all my mother relatives, they are basically kinda death in my life now. I had nothing left but I had everything. And he delivered time and time again. Saved me from myself and from my sins. He is the truth and the way. Pray and Lord will give you what you need most. I am praying for all of us who struggle . Never forget what they call the Lord when he walks on this very earth. Hoşana! Hoşana! Rab'bin adıyla gelene övgüler olsun! Save us ! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lᴏʀᴅ! This was a reply I give this day but this video made me post it again here. Pray so we can be saved
I have been blamed for things what are not true and I struggle with injustice .I also am very anxious for this awful world of greed and cruelty injustice hate!
Enduring until the end is stated in the gospel of the kingdom gospel NOT Paul's gospel of salvation (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). Enduring until the end is a Tribulation Period dispensation gospel NOT the Church Age gospel.
@@noway165 says: *How many Gospels do they count? It is one faith, the faith of Jesus. 'Traditions of men' in some 'new age'...❤❤❤* There are dispensations in the bible and in those dispensations, there were different gospels in which people got saved under. In the Old Testament there was a gospel of faith and works in which the Old Testament saints followed the law and made animal sacrifices when they sinned, but this did NOT send the souls of the Old Testament saints to heaven when they died they went to a place called Abraham's bosom (paradise) which was right next door to hell across a chasm as stated in the true story that Jesus told about the Rich Man and Lazarus. After Jesus died on the cross for our sins he went to Abraham's bosom (paradise) and preached to the souls of the Old Testament saints that were there and then Jesus took the souls of the Old Testament saints to heaven when he resurrected. In the current Church Age dispensation that we are in people get saved by faith alone without works. The Church Age dispensation will end at the pre-Tribulation rapture of the Church and then during the Tribulation Period dispensation people will be getting saved by having to endure until the end and avoid taking the Mark Of The Beast.
Thank you Father Spyridion for the words bringing us closer to receiving Grace and not distancing ourselves from the purpose of our sufferings. Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on me a sinner ☦️
The story of Job is a great example of this. Many times our blessings are about to be poured upon us when it's hardest. God simply wants us to strive & don't give up so u can receive. But many give up & lose hope. Longsuffering is one of the fruits of the holy spirit. 🙏
The Lord’s word is true and Jesus is our only salvation. I d been rapped in sin for so long now, I pray that the lord delivers me from the hand of sin and death. And I pray he does the same for you.
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, Have mercy upon me, a sinner. Thank you father for your wisdom. God has blessed me with your videos on this earth. May Christ shine his bright light upon your soul, may he bless you. ☦️🖤
I cannot endure anything without Yeshua Ha-Mashiach. He - alone - is my Salvation. Besides, he tests our faith but never fails in his trust in God's children. What he wants from us is Spiritual growth coming from his Helper given to us once. Only trust our Father in the Heavens! Soon, very soon, He's coming for us all. Praise God!
Today Father I asked my Priest to say Holy Mass for members of my family,as I felt that there were to many issues going on that I could not handle and I felt as if it was an attack from the evil one. As the day progressed God's Peace came. And what a relief! Thank you Lord for hearing my prayers. Then tonight I saw your video I nearly never watched it but I remembered what wisdom comes from God via you. But it was The subject matter that shocked me, it was as if God was speaking to me alone . Oh Thank you dear Father for expressing so calmly God's loving words.
O Our Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus, give us the strength to endure all afflictions and the humble willingness to repent of all our iniquities and fall down before Thy to see all our wickedness and with all humility to seek Thy forgiveness! Amen ☦️☦️☦️
You are the only priest i am listening regularly. Although I was raised with a more christian mentality, your words really resonate every time with me. Thank you.
I encourage you to visit your local Orthodox church, the teaching here is found throughout Orthodoxy, in many cases presented much more clearly and with greater depth. God bless you
I needed to hear this message. I've been heartbroken 💔 since my beloved mother passed away unexpectedly in 2022. I don't know what I would do without my faith in God. Because I know this is not my eternal home.

@@annalynn9325 thank you for this, it’s a very helpful reminder.
Greetings from Norway! God bless! ☦️🇳🇴

Thought you were abstaining from posting, I have very much missed your teachings and so happy to see you’re healthy ❤
Lord Jesus Christ, son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner. 🙏🏻
Father Spyridon you do so much to bring us near to God
Yes, such a difficult truth, and yet without trials we have no means of separating ourselves from the world. Meanwhile, evangelical ministers tell their congregations that God wants their inister to fluy in private jets. America is in a bad spiritual state.
Your really a shepherd of God keep leading father🔥☦️
This was beautiful... Exactly what I needed to hear at this point in my life...
Amen,we are tested by God for good reason .. Good over evil.. Bless you and our world...
Aman. FATHER GOD PLEASE HELP US NOT TO BREAK RANK NO MATTER WHAT WE FACE.
If you read my message... Scroll down and see all the Comments calling these men their FATHERS... Too bad their Father isn't God... Blinded by manmade trash.... As an actual Child of God, through believing on the Lord Jesus Christ... I am DEAD TO THE LAW.... Amen... Forever Sealed and Saved
Thank you, God, for using Father Spyridon with these messages to reach me. Lord be with everyone suffering, much love to all❤❤
Love you back dear one ❤.
God’s grace and peace be with you 🕊️
Never lose hope and faith, Jesus is very near 🌷
Thankyou Father...
Amen.☦
He who endures to the end endures because Jesus has already saved them by His grace through faith not of works or a process of works (Eph 2:8 -9 KJV).
Romans 8:27 KJV "And He that searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because He makes intercession for the saints *according to the will of God.
28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
29 For whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.
30 Moreover whom He did predestinate, them He also called: and whom He called, them He also justified: and whom He justified, them He also glorified.
31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
32 He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?
33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifies.
34 Who is he that condemns? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, Who is even at the right hand of God, Who also makes intercession for us.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us.
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Ephesians 2:8 thru 2:10 is more complete. St James elaborates.
❤❤❤
@@noway165 When GOD saves you and indwells you with His Holy Spirit you will obey Him and bear good works called fruit of the Spirit. A more complete reading would even be all of Ephesians especially the first chapter KJV. I hope you do.
Lord will deliver his promise we know. Attending to church more for even manual tasks needed. It helps believe me, I know. When Jesus Almighty saved me and opened my eyes, I took the risk of loosing all my relatives more importantly my father and mother. I live in Turkey and they are muslims. I cant explain how taboo to follow the real truth here. You are marked till rest of your life. You are waiting for the potential islamic state rise(Its pretty close to be a reality in Turkey too sadly) and get executed for leaving islam. I am no longer in contact with all my mother relatives, they are basically kinda death in my life now. I had nothing left but I had everything. And he delivered time and time again. Saved me from myself and from my sins. He is the truth and the way. Pray and Lord will give you what you need most. I am praying for all of us who struggle . Never forget what they call the Lord when he walks on this very earth.
Hoşana! Hoşana! Rab'bin adıyla gelene övgüler olsun!
Save us ! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lᴏʀᴅ!
This was a reply I give this day but this video made me post it again here. Pray so we can be saved
Thank you for sharing your heartfelt testimony.
God’s grace and peace be with you, always 🕊️
We love you❤
Well stated, and timely for me...thanks!
I have been blamed for things what are not true and I struggle with injustice .I also am very anxious for this awful world of greed and cruelty injustice hate!
Enduring until the end is stated in the gospel of the kingdom gospel NOT Paul's gospel of salvation (1 Corinthians 15:1-4).
Enduring until the end is a Tribulation Period dispensation gospel NOT the Church Age gospel.
How many Gospels do they count? It is one faith, the faith of Jesus. 'Traditions of men' in some 'new age'...❤❤❤
@@noway165 says: *How many Gospels do they count? It is one faith, the faith of Jesus. 'Traditions of men' in some 'new age'...❤❤❤*
There are dispensations in the bible and in those dispensations, there were different gospels in which people got saved under.
In the Old Testament there was a gospel of faith and works in which the Old Testament saints followed the law and made animal sacrifices when they sinned, but this did NOT send the souls of the Old Testament saints to heaven when they died they went to a place called Abraham's bosom (paradise) which was right next door to hell across a chasm as stated in the true story that Jesus told about the Rich Man and Lazarus.
After Jesus died on the cross for our sins he went to Abraham's bosom (paradise) and preached to the souls of the Old Testament saints that were there and then Jesus took the souls of the Old Testament saints to heaven when he resurrected.
In the current Church Age dispensation that we are in people get saved by faith alone without works.
The Church Age dispensation will end at the pre-Tribulation rapture of the Church and then during the Tribulation Period dispensation people will be getting saved by having to endure until the end and avoid taking the Mark Of The Beast.
Thank you father spyridon
Thank you Father Spyridion for the words bringing us closer to receiving Grace and not distancing ourselves from the purpose of our sufferings. Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on me a sinner ☦️
The story of Job is a great example of this. Many times our blessings are about to be poured upon us when it's hardest. God simply wants us to strive & don't give up so u can receive. But many give up & lose hope. Longsuffering is one of the fruits of the holy spirit. 🙏
Thank you Fr.Spyridon for your words of Wisdom
Beautiful!
Thank you ❤
Very good video Mr. Spiridon!
I never blame demons, I failed, do to my lack. The evils, are but whispers in the ear that I gave craving to.
Some tears flowed from my eyes because of your words. Thank you, Father. ♥️
☦️☦️☦️
To The King of Kings and Lord Of Lords love you always and forever
The Lord’s word is true and Jesus is our only salvation. I d been rapped in sin for so long now, I pray that the lord delivers me from the hand of sin and death. And I pray he does the same for you.
Thank you father. God bless.
💕🙏
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, Have mercy upon me, a sinner. Thank you father for your wisdom. God has blessed me with your videos on this earth. May Christ shine his bright light upon your soul, may he bless you. ☦️🖤
Beautifully said. Thank you.
I cannot endure anything without Yeshua Ha-Mashiach. He - alone - is my Salvation. Besides, he tests our faith but never fails in his trust in God's children.
What he wants from us is Spiritual growth coming from his Helper given to us once. Only trust our Father in the Heavens! Soon, very soon, He's coming for us all.
Praise God!
Today Father I asked my Priest to say Holy Mass for members of my family,as I felt that there were to many issues going on that I could not handle and I felt as if it was an attack from the evil one. As the day progressed God's Peace came. And what a relief! Thank you Lord for hearing my prayers. Then tonight I saw your video I nearly never watched it but I remembered what wisdom comes from God via you. But it was The subject matter that shocked me, it was as if God was speaking to me alone . Oh Thank you dear Father for expressing so calmly God's loving words.
O Our Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus, give us the strength to endure all afflictions and the humble willingness to repent of all our iniquities and fall down before Thy to see all our wickedness and with all humility to seek Thy forgiveness! Amen ☦️☦️☦️
Lord Jesus Christ Son of God have mercy on me a sinner.
Lord help all us sinners
You have alot of wisdom. 🙏🕊🙏💙
Father bless. Amen and thank you.
You are the only priest i am listening regularly. Although I was raised with a more christian mentality, your words really resonate every time with me. Thank you.
I encourage you to visit your local Orthodox church, the teaching here is found throughout Orthodoxy, in many cases presented much more clearly and with greater depth. God bless you
@@FatherSpyridonROCORGod bless you, I am so lost Father.
Amen +
Thank you Father
I needed to hear this message. I've been heartbroken 💔 since my beloved mother passed away unexpectedly in 2022. I don't know what I would do without my faith in God. Because I know this is not my eternal home.
May God rest your mother and comfort you.
