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.
As xaloc1967 said, it's a sung version of the Jesus Prayer. Here is a recording of it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZxiLd5nBTbY.html
Not sure about this - he has had some issues recently. He seems to talk a long time to say relatively little. I find him a little irritating- it’s probably just me. He is obviously very learned and I feel this gets in the way of the message. Sorry to be a bit negative.
J T Thanks - it’s probably just me. I found his style a little irritating - he uses a great many words to make simple points. He seems to like being authoritative. He has been criticised- and not just for his recent support of same sex marriage. I know he is a convert to Orthodoxy. Here is an article about him thetruechrist.blogspot.com/2013/12/the-heretical-teaching-of-bishop.html
Adrian Thomas Really, I think he is fascinating and very eloquently spoken. Britts are more detailed than the rest of the English speaking word- more precise in conveying what they won’t to say. I for one enjoy and learn a lot from his lectures.
I agree with you Adrian. A fat, snobby, middle class, anglican convert is all I see. He's made a career out of religion but is still a protestant at heart.
Jesus was speaking about himself as the Kingdom being in their midst not being INSIDE THEM, NOT TO LOOK WITHIN SELF... You are teaching the NEW AGE CULT of looking within for God in order to Ascend to enlightenment (or Godhood), was this not what the serpent said to Eve you will become Gods? Luke 17:21 New International Version nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’ because the kingdom of God is in your midst.” New Living Translation You won’t be able to say, ‘Here it is!’ or ‘It’s over there!’ For the Kingdom of God is already among you.” You have based a whole theology on a mistranslation of one word. Its not WITHIN ITS AMONG
The tradition of the Jesus Prayer and the Prayer of the Heart long proceeds the New Age cult, and is very unlike it. The New Age seeks to find enlightenment from created things, while the Prayer of the Heart seeks enlightenment from the Creator Himself, who dwells within those who have received Him in Baptism. The Kingdom is nothing other than God Himself. That’s why the Jesus Prayer addresses a Person, not some abstract force within us. The New Age cult does entice with the same sin that the Devil tempted Adam and Eve with-becoming God without God’s help. But the Prayer of the Heart is the effort to allow God to purify us and live within us fully, as He Himself promised-“Abide in Me, and I in you.”
