RESIST THE FAST OF THE DEMONS

The fasting from certain foods is only one part of the fasting struggle. Resist the error of focussing only on those outer things.

God will never reject u its never too latw

[@0nly0NE.]

Satan loves when we hang on to shame and become slaves to it, for it distances us from God. Shame keeps us from turning to our loving and forgiving God, it keeps us from repenting and leaving our sin in the past as we turn our hearts back to the Lord, it keeps us focused on ourselves, it leaves us powerless to walk in His grace and mercy, it leaves us cowering in darkness, and it makes us forget what Christ did for us on the cross. God does not want us to remain in our shame but opens up His loving arms to His children to come into them. Instead of letting shame imprison us, may we repent, turning away from our sin and back to the Lord who loves us.

[@lornadoone8887]

Take courage and flee back to the Lord in His Church for refuge. “Him who comes to Me I will nowise cast out.” We all fall many times. Just keep getting back up and you will be saved. Those who judge others, including you, are the ones in danger of perishing. 🙏🏻

You need to follow through and come to the True Church, become Orthodox.

[@maryamevermore]

@@palikariatl Without the need for pointing out the primacy of Peter, the Petros "rock" or "boulder", let us recognize the legitimacy of the priesthood of both the Orthodox faith and Roman Catholics. Both enjoy access to all the sacraments. I rest easy knowing any of my Orthodox brothers and sisters are well tended. Mother Church in Roman Catholicism does not need for any of her faithful to abandon her. She must be defended, and I would readily and without hesitation give my life for her. I do take your invitation as well intended, and I pray for nothing but blessings on you and yours.

[@palikariatl]

@@maryamevermore, there is NO primacy of Peter. The “rock” πέτρα (petra), is the rock of the CONFESSION of St. Peter that Jesus is the Christ. Christ said petra, not Petros. It is quite audacious of the Papist Heresy to claim that the Pope, Patriarch of the West (at that time) was correct, while the other FOUR Patriarchs of the East were all wrong. When Rome and her dictator the Pope went their merry way in 1054, they lost ALL Apostolic succession and all validity to their Mysteries (Sacraments). When one schisms from the Church, not even the blood of martyrdom can wash such a sin away, per St. John Chrysostom. Rome has been in schism and heresy since 1054, and has compounded her heresy with more heresies: papal infallibility, immaculate conception (which makes the Mother of God a “goddess” and not human), and countless other heresies which Rome has added to her basket of schism.

I never really thought about the fact that demons don’t eat. That’s something to really think about, Especially because I have periodic fits of rage, even during fasting days. Thankyou Father.

[@iury862]

There is a lot about how you can fight rage and most I learned I already forgotten and I haven't actually learned everything about it, but I do know this: if you don't open your mouth, rage will be smothered and killed. Like throwing a blanket over a fire. And how to start doing that is avoiding or leaving from a situation where you can feel rage is building up. If you're in the same room with someone and feel that rage, simply leave. Go to the bathroom, take a moment for yourself and say the Jesus prayer, talk with God, thank Him that He allows you to talk with Him via prayer for example (I'm sure you can find better advice from our Church Fathers and your Priest if want to fight it). Demons don't sleep either and they do believe in God in the sense that they know He exists since they were in Heaven. There is absolutely no doubt for them that He exists. Kinda puts things in perspective of how little He asks from us for eternal hapiness.

[@cbasallie]

@@iury862 I love the idea of saying the Jesus Prayer and thanking God. I am going to try more of that ❤

[@eldermillennial8330]

I think among their short term goals (besides ultimately damning us), is to parasitize off our bodies. I think one of the reasons these angels Fell in the first place is because they envied us for having been granted BOTH flesh and spirit, the best of both ‘animal’- and ‘angelic’-like elements. So, on the way towards destroying us, I think they hitch a ride like one of those wasps that lay eggs on a caterpillar which feed off it, slowly killing it. The demons do this to try to ‘feed’ vicariously off our bodily sensations, by proxy. They can’t eat anything themselves, but they might be able to hijack the bodily sensations of some glutton.

There are types of complete fasting where nothing at all is eaten, such as the first three days of Great Lent, Holy and Great Friday and a few other times. Going 40 days without eating anything at all is physically impossible! Not to mention people have to work, care for children and the elderly and much more. The CHRISTIAN Fast has always meant abstaining from certain luxurious foods in order to tame our flesh and will. Not eating anything at all as fasting is quite rare and impossible for long periods of time! Oh, the arrogant and deluded Protestant mind!

Isaiah 58 ....Christ's Desired Fast. Observances of Fasts 58 “Cry loudly, do not hold back; Raise your voice like a trumpet, And declare to My people their wrongdoing, And to the house of Jacob their sins. 2 Yet they seek Me day by day and delight to know My ways, As a nation that has done righteousness And has not forsaken the ordinance of their God. They ask Me for just decisions, They delight in the nearness of God. 3 ‘Why have we fasted and You do not see? Why have we humbled ourselves and You do not [a]notice?’ Behold, on the day of your fast you find your desire, And oppress all your workers. 4 Behold, you fast for contention and strife, and to strike with a wicked fist. You do not fast like you have done today to make your voice heard on high! 5 Is it a fast like this that I choose, a day for a person to humble himself? Is it for bowing [b]one’s head like a reed And for spreading out sackcloth and ashes as a bed? Will you call this a fast, even an acceptable day to the Lord? 6 Is this not the fast that I choose: To release the bonds of wickedness, To undo the ropes of the yoke, And to let the oppressed go free, And break every yoke? 7 Is it not to break your bread [c]with the hungry And bring the homeless poor into the house; When you see the naked, to cover him; And not to hide yourself from your own flesh? 8 Then your light will break out like the dawn, And your recovery will spring up quickly; And your righteousness will go before you; The glory of the Lord will be your rear guard. 9 Then you will call, and the Lord will answer; You will cry for help, and He will say, ‘Here I am.’ If you remove the yoke from your midst, The [d]pointing of the finger and speaking wickedness, 10 And if you offer yourself to the hungry And satisfy the [e]need of the afflicted, Then your light will rise in darkness, And your gloom will become like midday. 11 And the Lord will continually guide you, And satisfy your [f]desire in scorched places, And give strength to your bones; And you will be like a watered garden, And like a spring of water whose waters do not [g]fail. 12 Those from among you will rebuild the ancient ruins; You will raise up the age-old foundations; And you will be called the repairer of the breach, The restorer of the [h]streets in which to dwell.

Perfect timing, seeing this video now. Halfway through my first serious fasting period and have found myself irritable, ill-tempered, and even indignant at others at times. This message has been very encouraging and refreshing for me. God bless

[@PaurRoo777]

After watching quiet a few of your videos Father Spyridon, I wonder if I am right in not trying to understand them but just to listen and believe in it, because that is what is happening.

[@notalone9067]

Thank you for this beautiful talk Fr Spyridon. Your blessing please. ☦️☦️☦️

Well said brother. The fast and foxhole will find you out. 'Repent ...', always 'Repent ...' May God be with all of us in this age of deception, emotion, and madness; remove us from our own opinion and pride, instead humbly seek the Truth. Love vs Lust: 4:44 'No one can serve two masters; for a slave will either hate the one and love the other, or be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.'

never heard of an advent fast or heard anyone talk about this. The latter part stuck true and sounded today's world in many ways.

[@palikariatl]

The Roman Catholics and their children, the early Protestants, used to keep the Fast of Advent (Nativity Fast); but with time, “modernization” and ever straying more and more from the True Faith, they completely abandoned the Advent Fast and now don’t know it ever existed!
