Needed this
Our whole life is a struggle. The important thing is to get up and go on.
As a priest I am inspired by the simplicity and clarity of his explanations.
Lord Jesus Christ , Son of God , have mercy on me , a sinner.
SAINT JOHN 14:6
JESUS SAITH TO HIM: I AM THE WAY, AND THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE. NO MAN COMETH TO FATHER , BUT BY ME.
great thinkers, men more godly than myself, helped me realize a powerful truth that God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him.(John Piper) Living our lives in His presence, being aware of our old sinful nature at war with our new divine nature, and becoming comfortable with the uncomfortable process of sanctification. I appreciate the truths I hear in videos like this one too. God bless.
How do you fast if you have low blood sugar? 🙏🏼
Grow like the mustard seed start small and become very large!! Ive always struggled with pride in my life and find it important to keep the fact that I’m fasting secret from friends or family else it destroys the whole point of doing it to connect with God!
If I fast I die I work 12 wours a day it is eazy to say fast becouse you have time
It's a blessing to see gluttony so clearly in the mirror! This struggle isn't here by chance.
It's no issue for me too fast. I was vegan for 11 years I have had no appetite since I was 21 I have been fasted for 6 months in the hospital and gained muscle due to a growth disorder of one me! I only eat once a day maybe between nine and midnight.
If I have the vision of God will anyone believe me? Most likely not even my church!
7:15, quotations of saints on fasting.
4:57, St. Gregory’s Palamas graphic example is very appropriate!
6:25, fasting itself can lead into a state of humility.
WHY IS OIL, SUCH AS OLIVE OIL, CONSIDERED NOT APPROPRIATE FOR A STRICT FAST WHEN IT IS NOT AN ANIMAL PRODUCT?
AMEN! ☺🙏
Thank you very much for the encouragement, really help me alot
Now I understand that, it's no only about food, but the my way of living must adjust too. Once again thankyou
I needed to hear this today. Glory to God!
Thank you father for sutch a great vedeo on fasting good timing during lent.
Our love from Australia
Father Spyridon I have a problem, I do not eat meat or anything from animals on a fasting day but I feel I eat too much,and with greed, it's a matter of quantity in my case… Do you have any advice for me? Please put me in your prayers if you can, my name is Silvana. Thank you father Spyridon !
Self-control and self-sacrifice is the actual battle Christians face daily. The temptations the devil tries to trip us up with are: greed, ego, and materialism. Proverbs gives us a list of things God doesn't like, and the devil uses that list to attack us.
Stay strong, courageous, and faithful. Cast down all imagination that goes against God. ✝️💖
I thank you so much for this video. Today I started fasting again. Your words gave me clear thoughts.
The entity we must avoid to follow is the devil coz devil is anti life,everything it touches life will destroy.the other on is a monster,monster is all about enslavement.and monster love to enslave mother and daughter..a woman to be exact.he lives on a lifeless place on other dimension but he works on unseen place here on eath.
Over a year ago my Christian landlord gave me a book on fasting. I judged that book by its cover and never read it, perhaps after hearing this I will give it a try
I struggle with this so much. Thank you for giving a perspective I truly understand. Glory to God.
I needed this today. Starting my first fast but easing into it, amazing God timing for this to pop up on my thread. The calm warmth in your voice is always comforting and makes the information easy to digest mentally and emotionally.
God bless you and thank you-
Life is pain,death is pain and we all pay for the planting of our forefathers fruit.
Wouldn't it just be easier to be vegetarian everyday? Then one would only have to pay attention to the fasting days that avoid certain oil, etc. Or, fasting days would be not eating grains and legumes? …….and on non fasting days, one would still be avoiding non purified foodstuffs such as dead animal products. as a vegetarian ( a vegetarian lifestyle is an "everyday" event of fasting and austerity)? I say this without judgement, but living a vegetarian lifestyle makes Orthodox fasting days a non issue (should we not be fasting everyday)? I end these comments of question marks with a sentence of my understanding……eating dead animals creates sinful reaction. I do not even consider not eating meat an austerity actually; with all the choices of grains, legumes, vegetables, fruits, dairy, and sweets available. But it sure gives some relief to the animal kingdom.
