1:34 Prayer 🙏🏼 Unity With God 2:48 True Fulfillment 4:45 Love not Like Love is a Choice Love hurts 7:41 The Point is NOT vain repetition. Orient The Heart ♥️ physical and spiritual 8:04 The Physical Heart and The Spiritual Heart coinhere each other. 8:42 We go Deeper Into The Body, In The Heart, The Kingdom of Heaven is not outside, it's Within The Heart of each and every person. 9:23 10 Minute Spirituality 9:48 It sounds reasonable, 10 minutes. Spontaneity, good impulse to do it, and do it. 11:16 If we don't act quickly, it dissipates quickly. 11:24 10 Minutes, the minimum time for prayer. 11:47 The Old Biblical Time 1st hour: 7:00 AM 6th hour: 12:00 PM 9th hour: 3:00 PM 12:44 The Prodigal Son 13:20 "He came to himself." 13:37 "Going out from one's own heart." - That's the Fall. Being away from yourself. 14:05 Bring the attention back to your own heart. 14:15 Nous Back into Myself Out To God 14:31 "Oh my gosh, what am I doing? I will return to my Father's house." 15:01 Movement back to myself, to my heart. 15:21 Speaking to God outside of our heart, is one reason God may not be listening to our prayer. We just continue to monologue with ourself, like the Pharisee. 16:05 Be Consistent: Consistency, Flexibility. Consistency will be the success in the whole process. 16:30 + Be Flexible, + Be Dynamic. + Consistent and Flexible and Dynamic 17:04 Owed Nothing. No Expectation. + Pray as if you've never prayed before. + Leave expectations out. 18:00 Forget what's behind, strain for what's ahead. + We just start again 18:18 Move on. The Beauty of Repentance. "What can I do today?" *I have this present moment* 18:26 Beauty of Repentance I cannot change the past I have this moment to go right 18:57 "If you are depressed, you are living in the past." "If you are worried, you are living in the future." "If you are at peace, you are living in the present." 19:45 This moment, this gift of today. To go the right way again. *Psalm 50* 20:29 Trasaigion, Psalm 50, The Creed. 21:04 The Prayer of The Penetant God will always hear. 21:31 There is always hope. "He went through all of the difficulties and he never let go of God." 22:14 The Poor Publican was justified "God be Merciful to me a Sinner." 23:00 Trisagion, Psalm 50, five Prostrations 24:52 God very quickly comes to the aide of those who step out into The Abyss 25:17 Jesus Christ is Who He Said He Was. 25:33 No Other Religion asks one to Love Thy Enemy 26:11 Anger [towards others] is The Fire of Hell, and is never justified. 27:34 Try it 31:07 Revealed Will 32:56 Uncreated Power 34:31 Prayer opens The Heart to Receive 37:14 Self-Care 41:51 Thanks for Redemption The only bad is the willing of wrong choices. 46:38 Foreknowledge does not remove Free Choice 49:18 You are not Perfect Keep Trying despite that 51:15 Prayer is The Greatest Miracle There Is • More I’m ready to receive, the more I will receive. The more my heart is ready. Prayer prepares. 54:00 Someone did what I said, 😊 57:36 “I’m sorry.” 59:30 Beware, seek council but ultimately it’s up to you. Everyone is accountable for one’s own actions. 1:01:12 God 1st Means You come before Me. 1:02:03 Kicking Love Out prevents Love 1:02:28 Thy Will not My Will 1:03:11 Imagination can become fantastic. Bad.

When you speak the truth of the scriptures you speak straight to my heart. Deep calls to deep. In the depths of my heart I see God and as the eyes of my heart and understand open I see God in everything and everyone for in Him we live and move and have our being. Thank you for sharing your heart Father.

Yes, I find this forgiveness the most pressing for peace of soul. It must be the driver of the struggle in these most pressing times. Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on us.

And it is worth ordering from the priest in the church to read the akathist for your name of St. Cyprian and St. Justine and of St. Archangel Michael against magic and all enemies visible and unvisible. This is if you are baptized Orthodox. There always were sorcerers even after Jesus said it is from devil they remaind in every country and on every second or third family something is put from a sorcerer. And when you intend to go to command the akathist in the church, such thoughts may appear: "Maybe tomorrow, or next week", "Maybe I'm such a freak and no one is watching me (girls or boys, if you can not anyways find a pair, or you can for some reason speak only with one girl or boy.)", "The life is this way with good times and bad times", " I am so (if you have impotence)". etc. These thoughts come from demons from sorcery spells because only the prayer of the priest can 100% protect from magic and enemies visible and invisible. Jesus Christ told the apostles(which are the first priests)"I give you the right to untie everything that is tied in heaven and on earth.". Faith and creed is opinion, is how somebody thinks with his head. Repent is changing and not auto-humiliation as many think. May be enherited soul ilnessses like despresia, schizofrenia, Tourette sindrom, insomnia, bifurcation of personality etc. as they are from soul illnesses. Firstly everyone must to eradicate schizofrenia, depression etc. from him and after that to planify making children, in order that they will not jump from balconie, have blood cancer, be born bodytobody joined twins or two headed and etc. These soul illnesses can be healed by eucharisty. In the afternoon before eucharist day you have to read " The prayers before eucharisty" where are asked from eucharisty such things like: soul and body healing, sins forgiveness, protection from devils etc. It is better to go to confession in the morning in the day of eucharisty(before eucharisty)because from evening to morning everyone can make the same sins again and again and also other bigger sins. If not to forgive someone who asked for forgiveness it is not worth going to eucharisty because the sins will not be forgiven. Humbleness is awareness that in every doing you can fall and not auto-oppresion as most do and think, someone without auto-oppression is 100% free in moves in every direction, it is like a lion at freedom .Entering(submersion 3 times with a certain prayer and crossing yourself)in water springs of orthodox saints (which are near or in monasteries) give very much power and sureness to people with depression, panic attacks, schizofrenia and other soul illnesses, there are some springs of mother of God Maria that even heal soul illnesses.
