Fr. Serafim:
God said to an angel: “Go down to earth and travel the whole world, wherever you want… You have unlimited time. And bring to Me what I like the most from everything you see on earth.”
The angel began to descend from the heavenly glory where he praises God, to this world filled with sinful people… this is how we are, we are all sinners… Whoever says he has no sin is a liar!
And the angel was aware that he has a special mission… Discernment… “I have to bring what is most pleasing to God…” And searching, searching, in his journey he arrived in a place where there was war.
A man, in the last moments of his life, he shed his last drop of blood, being wounded, leaving home a widowed woman and orphaned children… And the angel took the drop of blood and went to God. He shows Him this and God looks at it and says, “Yes, wonderful! This is a wonderful thing! He gave his life to defend the country! A hero! He will receive the crown of a hero! His widowed woman and orphaned children remained at home… Wonderful! But I asked you to bring Me the most pleasant thing… Go and search for it!”
The angel goes, traveling here and there, searching, searching, searching, he arrives in his journey to a hospital… There was someone who had an incurable disease, isolated in a room, the sick person, and someone else who wanted to show her love and compassion, stood by him… She knew that she can become infected, but she could not stay far away, she went there! [She got sick] She contacted the virus, she was in the last moments of her life… The angel sees this and says: “I think this is what God likes!” He goes to tell Him. “Look, Lord…” [God] “Yes, wonderful! Wonderful! But I told you to bring Me the most important thing! Go, go, search, search deeper! Keep searching! Do not forget! The most important thing, which I like the most, bring it to me!”
Traveling, the angel fixed his eyes on a big thief… Who committed murders, abused women and committed many robberies… And this famous thief, a frightening person in that region, was searching for the moment to approach an remote house in the village, where there lived a young woman with a child… And he waited until nightfall so he wouldn’t be discovered. And as night fell, he looks through the window: the candle was lit, a mother with a small child, she prayed, she crossed the baby after many prayers… the child was sleeping on the pillow… Above his head was the icon of the Mother of God with the Child Jesus… the candle was lit… and the mother continued her prayer… For the first time in his life, after decades of great and grave sins, being burdened by them, he realized that this is what his mother did when he was little… He had a candle… His mother was praying… How happy he was in those moments… And from this recollection, he saw his whole life before his eyes, with all the murders committed and the grave sins with women and robberies… And he saw for the first time… God worked in his soul… to see his life, his deeds, his words. And this is how the grace of God helped him to see himself… Now he was at the point where it was supposed to enter, he was in front of the window, seeing all his life… A tear falls on the cheek of this big thief… And the angel took it and said: “I think God is going to like this!” And when he went, God said, “Yes! This is the greatest joy for Me! This tear…”
Do you see, my dear ones, that what Father Arsenie [Boca] said is true?
What did he say? “God’s love for the greatest sinner is infinitely more than the greatest saint’s love for God!”
Look my dear ones, the great love that God has for us, sinners… He left 99 sheep behind, the angels in heaven, who unceasingly praise Him, and He came for us, the lost sheep, all mankind from Adam to now, we are the lost sheep…

i'm very much afraid of
Christ's Brightness :
if His Glory shall burn me to
ash residue.
But we are still
under the Mercy,
because we still have these elders!
– i heard over 10 years ago
one teaching speech,
that the time when monasticism shall end, is near.
☦
Praise God for His endless love for us!!! Glory to Him always!!!
Smerenia supăra pe diavolul mañdria îl bucură!
Mare-i Dumnezeu!

Oameni buni dacă mergeți la penticostali sau …….. și nu mai păcătuiți este puterea și harul mila LUI DUMNEZEU (și dacă nu mai păcătuiți pt ce vă va judeca DUMNEZEU PT. CE???)

Frumos și cu duh!
Thank you for that precious story and for reminding me that God loves even me❤️
Isus te iubește, vino la El până nu e prea târziu
This wonderful priest Father Badila touched my heart with this story and made me look at myself, thus causing a tear to run down my cheek. There are times when l feel l repeat the same sins so many times that my guilt gets the best of me and l feel like it's hopeless; but by the grace of God something brought me to see this and now l understand fully how much God loves us with such a forgiving heart. No sin is greater than God's forgiveness for us. Thank you and God love you.
Părintele Arsenie ne a lăsat duhovnici destoinici numai sa ascultam sfaturile și vom pași și noi spre drumul milostivirii și a credinței adevărate Domne dai sănătate acestor mari duhovnici ca multe suflete au întors la adevărată credinta
Ethiopia ⛪️⛪️⛪️👈😭😭😭😭😭😭😭☝️☝️
Multumesc!
DOAMNE IISUSE HRISTOASE, FIUL LUI DUMNEZEU, miluiește-ne pe noi păcătoșii ❤️🙏☦️
Saracu parinte. Mi’e mile de el, de sufletul lui sinde toti cei care stau si cred in povestirile lui. Dumnezeu nu e impresionat de o lacrima sau de o parere de rau. Domnul Isus a facut o mare promisiune in Matei 18:3. Acolo vorbeste de nasterea din nou. Decat sa vorbeasca parintele povesti atat de lungi, care suna frumos cand le spui frumos, ar face mai bine sa vorbeasca din cuvantul lui Dumnezeu. Pacat ca lumea crede orbeste tot ce spun oameni ca el. Domnul o sa’i osandeasca la ziua de judecata.
România TREZEȘTE TE https://youtu.be/QIrT021fwRk
You are right about Yod Hay Waw Shin Waw Ayin(YaHuWSHuWa). A somali offered me a koran and I told him I have the truth in my heart and rejected his offer. So he said " I told you what I believe, so you tell me what you believe." And I told him about The Father YaHuWaH and Son, YaHuSHuWa and when he repeated YaHuSHuWa, we heard a loud ovation and he even said it was angels and we saw a horizontal rainbow and a cardinal was flying across it and we both said it was a miracle. But he is still muslim. Even though the LOUD CLAPPING OVATION happened when the muslim somali said YaHuWSHuWa.
No one was around us when the loud ovation happened and he was looking behind me and I was looking behind him to see where the ovation came from because the sound of the ovation surrounded us and my heart was pounding in fear like what just happened?
No matter how much I've stalled THE INEVITABLE FUTURE TIMELINE, THE INEVITABLE FUTURE TIMELINE will come into fruition.
1. The sick children will be healed with utterrance of THE NAME ABOVE ALL NAMES, YAHUWSHUWA.
2. The heavens will open on Earth for all to witness as the angels will commune with the healed children as the children heal the sick and feed the poor in THE NAME ABOVE ALL NAMES, YAHUWSHUWA.
3. The multitudes all over the world will learn of YAHUWSHUWA. As that is the true Good News that will be preached and demonstrated for them to witness.
4. AT THAT POINT THOSE MULTITUDES OF PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD WHO CALLED UNTO YAHUWSHUWA TO FEED THE POOR AND HEAL THE SICK WILL KNOW THEY WILL NEVER DIE OR BE HURT DURING TRIBULATION.
5. THOSE HUMAN MULTITUDES WILL LOVE EVERYONE, EVEN THOSE WHO HATE THEM BECAUSE YAHUWSHUWA TAUGHT THEM THAT HIGHEST LEVEL OF LOVE WILL SHOW THAT YOU HAVE ARE SINCERE WHEN YOU CALL OUT TO YAHUWSHUWA. YOU WILL HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT AND REALISE YOUR EXISTENCE WILL BE LOVE AND PARADISE.
6. THE ANGELS WILL SEPARATE THOSE WITH HATE IN THEIR HEARTS AND INTENTIONS OF VIOLENCE. AS THOSE WHO CALL UNTO YAHUWSHUWA WILL NEVER DO VIOLENCE EVER. SO THOSE WHO CHOSE TO FIGHT WILL BE DOING SIN.
7.THANKFULLY EARTH WILL BE CHANGED TO HEAVEN EVEN BEFORE THAT PROCESS, WE WILL BE WAITING AS OUR BODY PERMEATES WITH THE BEST FEELING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT DWELLING WITHIN US.
I FORGOT TO MENTION PEOPLE WILL BE RAISED FROM THE DEAD IN YAHUWSHUWA'S NAME AS THE SICK IS HEALED AND POOR BEING FED HAPPENS.
Re: He made the ILLUminati an ofFer thEy Could not refusE!!
Quoting: AlphabetA "They can certainly refuse, but refusal will result in falling forever down the deepest depths of this hell we're all stuck in.. So, why not just help everyone out of here, with everyones help?"
"Love those who hate you and persecute you." -YAHUWSHUWA
"Forgive them. They know not what they do." -YAHUWSHUWA
"None is good but The Father(YAHUWAH)" -YAHUWSHUWA
"“Put your sword in its place, for all who take the sword will perish by the sword." -YAHUWSHUWA
"Those who understand WILL NOT TASTE HARM OR DEATH." -YAHUWSHUWA
"The man aged in days will not hesitate to ask a little child of seven days about the place of life, and he shall live; for there are many first who shall be last, and they will become a single one." -YAHUWSHUWA
The final tribulation will be conquered not by violence, but by FEEDING THE POOR AND HEALING THOSE WHO ARE SICK AND RESSURECTING THE DEAD IN YAHUWSHUWA'S NAME
I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance. -YAHUWSHUWA.
Amen….
Multumim părinte foarte frumoase învățături duhovnicesti.
✝️🙏
Is this true
May the Holy Spirit come upon all unbelievers so they too shall be saved. May everyone do good deeds, help those whom are most in need and Glorify Jesus Christ forever….Amen💝
Sa trăiți sf părinte felicitari
Luke 15:10
Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
Strange world it is. God let people sin, so they could regret and return back to their true self and find the true meaning of Godly love. This is why God let the world to encompass evil and good together.
Multumim,parinte drag! 🙏💓🙏
