Thank you Father, a great message.
Great content keep it up Father.
Thank you.
Fantastic! I've watched this three times.
Thank you father.God bless you.
Thank you Father Spyridon. A true message from Christ.
I came to that conclusion that I wanted to be healed. I didn't ask to heal my lifetime of physical suffering but ask Jesus to destroy my false self and rebuild me in his eyes. I am in that process now and he has flipped me upside down emptying all that is ungodly and rebuilding me into a brand new being who strives daily to live and walk with him.
This one is DEEEEEEEEP!
Way too short….an average of 10 minutes each is good in my estimation.
Good work at keeping the focus.
Thank you, Father. I have been struggling with this problem in the church for years. As you say: seek the royal way.
What kind of name is Spyridon? Who are you spying for? Who are you trying to suck into the internet web and reveal themselves to the Devils who have created this techno hell system?
God to glory to God.
The Resurrected Life I am ready for.
♥️✌️♥️
I get really frustrated when I fall into traps of lust. I want to finally overcome it once and for good, but it's been more difficult than I imagined it would be. How do I finally break free?
2:15, what healing means. An excellent Historic Orthodox belief!
Awesome 2020… We as a secular Church must ask this question? shutting the church for fear of disease isn't Holy we shut the doors to healing? Much more Im sure. However last point healing is painful…In my experience Thanks be to God. 💯
I often ask myself that question. Do I really want to be healed? And I suppose the answer must be "No" given how stubbornly I persist in my habitual sins.
Lord Jesus, please give me the strength & humility to say yes to your offer of healing.
Jesus would ask us if we want to be healed because he doesn't force anything upon us – we are doing everything in co-operation with God's will.

Job 11:7-12 – God’s Ways Are beyond Human Understanding
Summary
The third counselor, Zophar, offers the ultimate conversation stopper when other explanations fail: humans can never fully understand what God is doing in the world.
Analysis
As the first cycle of speeches draws to a close, Zophar points out that there are limits to human wisdom. Our efforts to understand what God is doing will always fall short. Zophar even uses rhetorical questions (in vv. 7-8) to point out the disparity between God's wisdom and that of humans.
When this passage is read in the context of the whole book of Job, some interesting points emerge. Zophar sounds very much like Elihu in chapters 36-37 and God in chapters 38-39. If there is a defining word about suffering in the book of Job, it might well be in God's first speech. Humans cannot know and do what only God can know and do. If Zophar says the same thing this early in the book, why must the book be so long, plodding on and on as Job and his friends carry on their dialogue? Why cannot Job simply say, "Zophar, I guess you're right? As much as I hate to admit it, I'll never find an answer to my suffering that makes logical sense. I'll just have to abandon the search and trust in God, anyway."
There are at least a couple of reasons why it is not sufficient to end the book here. First, it is too soon. Job needs to talk some more, to let his questions run their course, to get it all off his chest. He is not yet ready to quit banging his head against the wall and accept his limits. Second, it is Zophar who tells him to quit asking hard questions, and Job suspects Zophar wants him to be quiet because Zophar is feeling uncomfortable and inadequate to deal with Job's questioning. Later, in chapter 38, it is God who speaks, and now Job will listen. When God tells us to "be silent and trust me," we will be much more likely to acquiesce than if those words come from a purveyor of pious platitudes who is nervous about where the conversation is going.
Job 11:7-12
7 ‘Can you find out the deep things of God?
Can you find out the limit of the Almighty?*
8 It is higher than heaven*—what can you do?
Deeper than Sheol—what can you know?
9 Its measure is longer than the earth,
and broader than the sea.
10 If he passes through, and imprisons,
and assembles for judgement, who can hinder him?
11 For he knows those who are worthless;
when he sees iniquity, will he not consider it?
12 But a stupid person will get understanding,
when a wild ass is born human.*
Yes, I want to be healed. Love from Australia 🇦🇺💟✝️💟
