Why Sin Gets Worse After We Find Christ (w/ Fr. Seraphim Aldea)

It’s been a few years since becoming orthodox. I started to notice that I was resisting praying. I couldn’t figure out why but I recently met a Baptist pastor and he started to convince me that orthodoxy was crushing how special I am and how I am a godly woman and he flattered me. I felt that familiar pride I used to live on. I missed being special and above others. I knew it was pride and then this video helped me so much to make sense of what has happened and why I have experienced all of this. Thank you so much. This was for me!

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner.

I'm joining the orthodox church near me after letting Jesus into my heart 1 year ago, and starting to go all in since this year.

“… we live like mushrooms in the darkness of the world… as soon as the light of Christ shines upon us all the sin, all the stains, all the dirt that is staining our souls becomes increasingly visible.” ~ Fr Seraphim 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I ran cuz demons started attacking me. Most horrifying events in my life. So I ran back to alcoholism and meth for years. Eventually I thought the whole ordeal was a mental health crisis. But I started calling on Jesus again more and more and I finally ended up being baptized after almost dying time after time. I sober now 8 months. The silence almost gives me panic Attacks

Jesus promised eternal life not a bed of roses. He knows it’s not in you. Only through Him can we persevere. Life is a character building exam. You on your own will never pass. Only through the grace of Jesus are we given a passing score.

For the last few month I learned a lot of truth in Christ, and the more I learn the more I got demonized, especially when I talked about Christ to others their demons follow me to torment me and I know God understands my struggles. This is real, so we have to know and be strong. God always wins

[@maxguita12]

I’m still a catechumrn, and already going through all of this insanity.

[@davidsthoughts60]

This gives me a lot to think and pray about.

[@s.d.berquist6866]

Sirach, Ecclesiasticus, "My child, if you aspire to serve the Lord, prepare yourself for an ordeal."

[@TheManWithoutAName1120]

Thank you for sharing your wisdom

[@malletandchisel5154]

Merit is the antidote to grace. Success is the antidote to surrender. Work is the antidote to rest. Seek grace,seek to surrender, seek to rest. Seek all things in Christ.

[@eleonorarugby7699]

God bless Fr Seraphim for these edifying words, so nurturing for my soul! Hristos a inviat!

[@esoteric.breadcrumbs.]

[@Stellarheim]

A lot of people seek magical pill, which true christian faith is not and never was.

[@TakeTheRide]

It only feels like it gets worse because you haven't changed yet. If you truly become a believer in scriptures, in the commandments, that will change you and you will stop the sin that you know is wrong. May YHWH change your heart.
