Last year with no place left to turn I prayed to God in repentance then begged for help with all my heart, "I was until then a lifelong Atheist." I then had a dream of Jesus coming before God and he spoke of the Tabernacle in perfect context, "A word I didn't know existed because I've never read the bible", and the love I felt from Jesus was unlike anything I've ever felt before - A lifetime of joy every second - It brought me to sobbing and it changed my life forever. I've had other miracles since, a few being a light turning on in answer to deeply needful prayer 6 times, seeing a orb of light hours before a major surgery, seeing an Angel in a dream the night my mother prayed for me to see one, "Without telling me", and so much more. Know that God and Jesus ARE real and that they love us deeply. Let go of your hatred and Imagine yourself holding the people who've hurt you. Tell them you love and forgive them and do your best to follow, "I've failed many times", the 10 commandments.

Let us not deceive ourselves. The path to heaven is narrow for the righteous my friends, for the righteous, it is narrow. The unrighteous shall not see, nor inherit the kingdom of heaven. The blood of Jesus doesn’t give us permission to sin, His blood is not to cover our sin and allow us to remain in it, but to purify, purge and free us from our sin. Therefore let us repent and turn to Jesus Christ, for he is the only way to heaven, the only way and the only advocate we have with the father. The catholic faith leads to hell, follow Jesus, no man, no religion, but be a Christian, which means a follower of Christ.

Making Him Lord and Saviour of one’s life. These are two different things. Bible also says there is only 1 who intercedes for mans sins to God and that is Jesus, He is the ONLY intercessor between man & God. Priest are no longer required as they were only relevant in the Old Testament (and they were only allowed out of the tribe of Levi, no one else could go and become a priest). Once Jesus came and was crucified, His blood paid for all sins of all mankind forever more. Hence there was no longer a requirement for priests to daily and annually sacrifice a lamb for the remission of sins. That all stopped when Jesus came up n the scene. Jesus is the only one we are to confess our sinfulness to, not another sinful man. who needs saving himself.

@@rudymatheson1415 not at all, your not understanding it, you need to understand the initial confession to surrender of the wicked flesh to Christ and receiving of the Holy Sprit is different to what your interpreting. One can pray all they like, unless they have confessed their wickedness/sinfulness and relented (despise their sins & turned away from it) they do not receive the Holy Spirit. Eg. Just because someone was baptised as an infant (which is not biblical) and prays while having no remorse for their sins, or thinks they are a good person and they do no wrong, therefore lives in wilful sin/ rebellion to God, that doesn’t make them a child of God. Nor will they be entering into heaven. The bible is very clear on that. They are still a slave to the devil. There must be a initial confession to Christ first. It’s Jesus that forgives, not man.

Eternal kingdom's treasures will be inherited equally for all believers who have lived on earth a righteous life. This is just part of what we will earn for being loyal soldiers of Christ. Imagine how joyous life would that be living in glory forever.

Father, I have just found your channel and I have subscribed ! I have had a great concern for some time now -- I am 70 years old and am dealing with my mortality. My concern is this : Does it matter if a person is cremated not buried -- will it have any effect when The Lord raises the dead at judgement ? ? Please let me know, I am very concerned about this. Thank you for helping me with this issue ! Thank you for your video -- you bring a beautiful clarity and truth that is critically needed NOW ! I look forward to your response. Take Care. God Bless. 💥💓💓 Susan

IT IS WRONG TO CREATE A PERSON. IT IS THE EVIL ONES DESIGN/INVENTION, MACHINATIONS. TAKE A LOOK IN THE BIBLE & THE MORMON BIBLE. PEOPLE WERE (A) PLACED IN A CAVE/TOMB. OR THEY WERE BURIED IN THE SOIL OR IN A COFFIN & LOWERED INTO THE SOIL. IF YOU CREATE YOUR LOVED ONES OR THEY CREATE YOU. MY OPINION IS THAT YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO BE RAISED FROM SLEEP/THE DEAD. AND THE SADDEST THING IS YOU COULD HAVE STORED UP TREASURES FOR YOURSELF IN HEAVEN FROM ONCE BEING KIND, HELPFUL, GENEROUS.& LOVING TOWARDS ALL YOUR FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS YOU ENCOUNTERED IN YOUR PAST LIFE HERE ON EARTH. BUT FOR WHAT A CHANCE AT ETERNITY. DO YOU THINK THE CREATOR IS GOING TO SAY TO ANY ONE OF HIS ANGELS. LOOK HERE, SEE THAT BIT OF ASH JUST THERE. IT'S HALF OF THERE NOSE. AND SEE HERE, THERE'S A PART OF HIS HAND. AND THAT BIT OVER THERE IS A PART OF HIS RIGHT LEG. IF WE KEEP SEARCHING BEFORE THE WIND BLOWS. WE WILL HAVE ALL THE THE PIECES OF THIS PERSON/HUMAN. SADLY, DUE TO THE EVIL ONES MANIPULATION FOR THIS PRACTICE. THERE NO LONGER IS ANY DNA & RNA. HOW DO YOU RECREATE HIM & REWARD HIM WITH AT LEAST A COUPLE OF CENTURIES IN HEAVEN FOR THE GOODNESS HE DISPENSED ON EARTH? I HOPE THIS ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION & YOUR CONCERNS. BURIAL IS THE RIGHT PATH/WAY. From Mr ROONEY HARRIS FRASERBURGH.

Lord spoke to me a lie was told this has brought judgement on hold earth. December Lord spoke we only have one season left. In time Lord spoke In A Moment in a twinkling I will come when you least expect it. Lord spoke all that left now is to pray for your family others to repent those headed to lake of fire to be saved. Right now you can feel his presence yet a stillness. From time a lie was told these are other words. He is like Moses. Has a heart after God. He is teachable. Now next word after the lie that has changed the world. Jesus is at the door. The word Moses. The window of Grace has closed. There are season's of time we are in a season of time. We can't go back we can't go forward only a move of God. Next word He spoke Ecclaisa the remnant the living stones only ones left now. Oh God spoke they are running a head of my time line. Now we are at the first part where I shared what he has spoken. You can't set in a person seat God appointed to another person, and lie others support you it brings judgement because house is out of order it even affects the earth. So every issue we see happing is they have taken a house that didn't belong to them with a lie. God said I honor those who honor me. This is all Lord has showed me. Yesterday there was a word about Noah. Lot had to come out of the city to pray it was so bad. As in the days of Noah. People want come out of the system to be saved they love the world to much so they don't come out of the world. Lord also spoke of covenant example Abraham ask Lord if there 50 will you spare on down to 10 or 1 will you spare Lord said yes. Lord spoke we have a covenant with the Lord where ever we are placed in this earth that area belongs to the Lord holding it for him through a covenant with the Lord. This is a very in-depth knowledge to understand. Last word Lord promises Lord will take care of us through all of this. That all I can share.

Indeed! Looks like salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone! He has just shown he can not fulfill the requirements of righteousness as none of us can. Christ took the full penalty for our sins.

[@phil4863]

I repent many times and I still feel guilty

[@krisjustin3884]

That’s maybe because you haven’t heard the Gospel. Your salvation does not depend on your performance, as Christ paid the full price for your sins. By grace are you saved by faith, and this is not of yourselves. It is the gift of God. Not of works, lest any man should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9. It’s not you who can save yourself. Besides the word repent means ‘a change of mind’ in the Greek text. Have you changed your mind to believe that Jesus is really God the son who paid for your sins on the cross? If so, you are saved! You will be a new person who wants to please God, although you will never be perfect until the day we see the Lord. Be at peace Phil. No action can take away guilt, only Christ’s sacrifice at Calvary.

[@revelation2-9]

Father Spyridon, do you have anything to say about the current situation in Ukraine and how it relates to the warnings from Saint Paisios the Athonite? Should I be getting my family and friends away from the suburbs of an American liberal state and going to a safer and more remote place? I have a sinking feeling that whether war comes here or if there is a collapse, that I need to do something soon.

Patriarch Kirill of Russia lauded President Putin’s “high and responsible service to the people” in a speech in Moscow on Wednesday for Russia’s Fatherland Defenders Day, and told his country’s armed forces they should have “no doubts they have chosen a very correct path”.

[@Medjugorje4all]

Pope Francis appealed " to those with political responsibility to examine their consciences seriously before God, who is the God of peace and not of war.” And he called on believers and non-believers alike to unite in a joint supplication for peace next 2 March, Ash Wednesday, by praying and fasting. “Jesus taught us that the diabolical senselessness of violence is answered with God's weapons, with prayer and fasting,” the Pontiff said. “I invite everyone to make next 2 March, Ash Wednesday, a Day of Fasting for Peace. I encourage believers in a special way to dedicate themselves intensely to prayer and fasting on that day. May the Queen of Peace preserve the world from the madness of war.”
