Thank you for this sermon. There is so much demonic activity in the world today especially coming for our children’s souls. It gets disheartening and I am desperately trying to pray for my children and all the children of the world that our Lord will help them and preserve them from all this evil. The battle has been hard. Please pray for us 🙏☦️
Very sobering, definitely need more of these powerful advices and tools to defend oneself. Being true Christian in this world is somewhat like being a dove in a snakes nest. Lord have mercy on us. ☦. Eis Polla Eti Despota.
Master bless! Thank you again for sharing spiritual knowledge that all of us need to hear and know. Please keep me, and The Sacred Hermitage of St. Paisius in your holy prayers. Thank you again and God give you many years. Eis polla eti Despota! Mother Anastasia ☦️
A boy I knew when I was young, I am quite sure, cast a spell on me as Cyprian did on Justina. My guess is it was the very first time he cast a spell and it worked, at least a little. He is now a famous actor, and from what little I've seen of him, the roles that he plays are dark. He is lost and he is blind. May God bring him back.
Thank you for reminding me of the curse, I must prayer even more as a unworthy Justina. Having my Metropolitan Kyprianos himself. Im am truely blessed in this! Having hard times, glory to God! but please, pray for me, your sister in Christ, Justina
Excellent reality check sharing truth in Christ.. thank you for all your hard work in Christ keep up the good work and may God bless you and your family.
Being 73 now, I can thank you with full knowledge of the onset of dark music that sprouted up (alongside some that was indeed beautiful) and certainly came out of hell. Being 18 when attending Woodstock, and having already heard and attended most of the acts that showed up there, I applaud your preaching this message, Eminence. I was very troubled and impressionable then, and some of the wild-and-recless music quite "messed with my mind," as it did with so many! I tell you, were it not for the Blessed Mother taking me under her mantle of protection, I would not have survived it. But Jesus saw to it that I did far more than just survive, and so in awe and gratitude I am actually writing my memoirs and publishing the poems Mother Mary sent to me after I prayed to her for "the gift of poetry." I must: young people today need to hear my many escapes from certain death ... and I was born into wealth, which of course only confused me the more! I cannot thank you enough for the holy joy you brought me here! Bless you
Please pray for me, an unworthy Justina. Thank you, your Grace Metropolitan Demetrios, your sermon came godsent. I am blessed for having our beloved Metropolitan Kyprianos in my life and heart. I must stand stronger and rejoice my tears. Fathers, bless!
I am attending an Orthodox Church now. I'm more confident in worshipping and living in the Orthodox way. I want to find Salvation. I'm not interested in all the worldly problems of other churches. I just want to keep my eyes on Jesus Christ.
Pray for enemies those who use you. I had no problem as a young woman. I've been used so much it does not easy anymore. My mom used to say I'm too forgiving. I'll try more Aged 70; cursed by alcoholic husband deceased homeless . Fortunately I stay 😀2 Ukraine priests .. God bless praying for the Mid east ...those in the church hiding expect to be a martyr.. I am weak and cry for these people. From a broken heart
