Transforming Suffering - Fr. Spyridon Bailey

[@genetgslassie2282]

My biggest challenge these days has become being able to gather my thoughts while listening to Father Spyridon’s videos and any other similar teachings. Even if I rewind them for the 10th time, only some fractions would penetrate through all the stormy thoughts. Please pray for me 🙏🏽

[@GarretCaban]

You have you understand that all other thoughts outside of god during prayer and worship from the devil(nothing to do with god, why would you give your attention to those thoughts when praying or watching a sermon should be about being with god. The fact that we worry shows that we put things above god, that we are not putting are faith in him

[@i_assume]

Do you partake in holy mysteries?

[@HendoRemastered]

Skill issue

[@alonamaria279]

Maybe write down the main points and carry it in your pocket and read it again and again once you are free and meditate on it

[@yove2934]

Close your eyes and try tot listen with your heart🙏

Thank you Jesus for using Father Bailey to minister to me. Annie, South Africa.

[@tinahale9252]

I truly love you teaching The way of my Lord Jesus Christ. Nothing flashy, fake, or exaggerated. It helps me to listen quietly and hear the voice of my Shepherd. It also helps me to touch everyone exactly how Jesus wants me to. So beautiful and I feel as I have found the rarerest of jewels, I know you understand what I'm saying

[@LastEarBender]

Fr. Spyridon doing guest appearances on a number of channels lately - thank you for your teachings and for being an outstanding representative of our faith.

[@longbranched]

Thank you Father. I find your words and you voice truly comforting. God loves you, and we all need Fathers like you.

[@Michael-ek2iy]

I count it a blessing to suffer for all.

[@Howie47]

Speak faith like brother Spyridon! To some it all up and put it in a nutshell. Be willing to suffer for the ones you love. Got to do those dishes, wash them clothes, do all the work that needs to be done. School the children, fix the house, and be faithful and loyal to the ones the Lord has given to us to care for. And mostly remember the one who brought us here into the presence of All Mighty God. His only begotten Son, Jesus of Nazareth, born in Bethlehem. Remember Him and His Word every day.

Father, your videos always leave me with more energy

I think suffering is the one thing that angels can’t experience. Hence why some fell. This is our blessing, that eternally we will have a perspective on suffering and rule correctly.

Thank you for purifying my soul Father Spyridon through the words of God and love and light of God ❤

[@Michael-ek2iy]

When Jesus Christ is ready and God is through with me I will be taken

[@thewordbtrue2461]

As the Lord Jesus told His crucifier, , "You would have no power at all unless God gave it to you." Likewise brethren, and as you say, even as Job... Nothing befalls us lest it be allowed by our Lord. Whether slight or severe. To KNOW this and to understand this in our innermost being, is Peace

[@tinahale9252]

I couldn't have expressed it better myself. I'm so in love with Jesus.

[@mihailkolev7578]

@Father Spyridon everything that happens is permitted by God 😓😞😣. Father does this means that this is not a curse this suffering, but a salvation. You are the best 🙏🏾✝🕊I enjoy and love your clips ☦❤

[@kekman693]

Yes indeed

[@alanm6o9]

Its definitely a curse. I was mutilated at birth and then poisoned by soy and plastic clothes immediately. That shit still hurts my soul because i dont understand why this happens

[@sofiebult6687]

Nothing is beyond God's help, TRUE- WHY doesn't he reduce my suffering. Reduce not take away. It's wayyyy more than I can dam well bare. So I turn to Christ and I cry out to Him and get sweet NOTHING

[@noahpadme2494]

Are you calling out to God while living in sin? You can’t serve two masters at once, just as you can’t ride two horses at one time. We are all sinners but asking for God’s help while intentionally sinning and not trying your very best to give up sin will put up a wall between Jesus and yourself. I heard nothing as well until I decided to change my heart. I needed humility and to let go of my sinful ways and truly trust Christ and follow a relationship with him. I am human and I still slip up. But constant repentance and putting my relationship with Christ first over sin has helped me greatly. Then you start to hear him more as the block of sin is lessened. Worked for me at least. Hope this helps 🙏🏼

[@alanm6o9]

Facts im just coming out of my sins and Jesus knows i love him but he wont talk to me. Shit fuckin stings

I have lost control. I don’t know what to do with myself all day. My sins replay everyday all day. When I see family I replay how I treated them. I sleep at night and it doesn’t stop and my face start to feel weird. My body feels detached from my head and heart. I’ve lost all emotions and love. Please help me Father. I wake up in the morning and I don’t want to do this anymore. Please tell me if God has left me?

[@amandasongy5147]

I have no appetite

[@markopace974]

I did so many things I regret, to myself, to god and to my family and neighbour. Confession, Repentance and prayers are helping me so much, god is so full of love. Lord Jesus Christ, son of god, have mercy on me a sinner

[@Ametemariamm]

I feel the same tired but I overeat alot am in the same boat I feel like giving up😊

[@alonamaria279]

My brother , if God were to leave us when He saw our sins , He wouldn't have died on that cross .He promised us that He will never leave us and that He is with us even till the end of the age . Don't be discouraged, brother. Put on the whole armour of God ( Ephesians 6) this is a spiritual battle , Satan will use many techniques on us to make us fall back to sin like guilt, lust , anger , greed , pride , jealousy filled thoughts etc but a righteous man , though he falls 7 times rises up again because the Lord is his strength . Confess your sins to the Lord and even those evil thoughts , realise that it's not from the Holy Spirit and instead of taking the bait of Satan, say to yourself that You are covered by the blood of Christ which takes away the sins of the world. Ask Holy Spirit to guide you in all your paths and give you discernment . Beloved brothers , you are in my prayers ❤

[@alonamaria279]

"The Lord is compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.” Don't worry when you sin , confess them to the Lord who is ready to cleanse you and guide you . He never wishes for anyone to perish . His Love is everlasting Don't be deceived, my friend . All that Satan has as a we3pon against you is deception . Satan lies, and that's what he has always done and will ever do even from Genesis 3 to Adam and Eve .He'll try to discourage you and call you worthl3ss and try to make you leave Christ in any way possible remember your identity , You are Christ's child , He loves you more than you could ever imagine, brother. be of Good cheer , Our Lord has overcome everything and He is with you helping you to overcome this . Temptations will always comes , that doesn't mean you r sinning . Sinning is when you give in to temptation and participate in it . Identity the lies and Don't believe them dont take the bait, once you believe them only do you get deceived so test every spirit . Pray without ceasing. Our Lord is always here ready to protect us,Trust Him . 2 Corinthians 10:5 "casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ"

[@eagleeye182]

One of the key phrases in this speech is - "God permits suffering in our lives". So, if you're suffering in this life, you must blame God, not the Devil. The Devil is just His subordinate.

[@imverydeadd]

this blaming connects suffering to pain and creates a downward spiral away from God. because everything can be blamed and when you do that you fall into the Devil’s hands

[@eagleeye182]

​@@imverydeaddYou're denying the obvious. The Devil can't do anything to you without God's prior approval. He calls the shots, not the Devil. If He decides to allow suffering to befall you, the Devil will fulfil His desires. This is how things work. The Devil has no real power in this life, God has.

[@eagleeye182]

@@imverydeadd Save your sarcasm for somebody else. I'm simply stating facts. Don't you remember the story of Job? The Devil destroeyd his life only aftet he had asked for a permission from God. Only after God had given him the green light, he went after Job and ruined his life.

Why should we accept suffering? Some suffer less than others and there are many who not only rarely suffer (and even when they do it’s very minimal), but live in an ecstasy. Why would you tell us to take something we absolutely abhor and many others do not have to undergo?

Life is suffering you eithet accept it or the suffering just gets worse
