“The Holy Spirit, when he sees our pure heart, comes and dwells in us, because he loves purity. The whole basis is good reasoning. This is what elevates man, alters him for the better. We must be careful not to accept the devil's telegrams (negative thoughts) so as not to defile "the Temple of the Holy Spirit" and remove the Grace of God, so we get dark ".

"It simply came to our notice then, man is purified mentally, moves reverently, pacifies, and his life is Paradise. Different, he sees everything with suspicion and his life becomes hell. He makes his life hell on his own ". (Saint Paisios).

We can become, (but also our purpose is to become Saints, says Saint Nektarios) Saints, as long as we follow life, humiliation, to experience the absolute love of the Lord, followed literally by Saint Elder Paisios.

The whole secret in life is to follow the word of the Lord, to make sure we confess frequently and commune every Sunday, to forgive everyone and everything, to love our enemies. But what is important is n’ open our hearts, to come closer to the Lord, to let him dwell in us.

We need to realize that ourselves, without the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit, with the help of the Lord we can do nothing. No one can n’ sanctify if not chosen by the Father, (no one can come to me unless he has been chosen by the Father, said the Lord). But in order to be chosen, one must be humble, humble as Saint Paisios was approaching the humility of the Lord to show self-denial, to think of others first.

Saint Paisios has influenced me for almost the last twenty years, was the only Saint I dealt with in my first book twenty years since then, but I had a voice inside me telling me that everything,what this old man says is divinely inspired, is the truth is what we need to do. Since then I have been consulting the teachings of the Holy Elder about every decision I make and I can say that I have become a happy person., close to God, but also close to my fellow human beings and I encourage you all to read his teachings, follow them and you will get rid of every problem of your life.

Studying all the sages of the world I came to what Saint Paisios said that the greatest wisdom based on reason is stupidity before the wisdom of God. Holy elders like Saint Paisios are pure channels of God's voice and we must first listen to them. Saint Paisios was is and continues 21 years after his departure from space-time, to be the expression of the Lord, did and continues to do Miracles to those who invoke him and believe in the Lord and the Holy Elder.

The Saint Paisios always speaking the words of God, gives us tips for raising our children which if we follow we will never have a problem with our children. This divinely inspired Saint Elder considered it more efficient to pray for our children, rather than arguing and grumbling when they do bad things, also considered that the most important factor for the mental and physical health of children is the positive family atmosphere. Saint Paisios says about raising children:

• “It is good for parents to show the child that they are upset about the disorder he is committing, but don't push it and pray ". "That's why I tell mothers to force themselves in prayer and not to force their children.".
• “At home it is necessary to have an atmosphere of love and peace. The child if he gets a little love from home and gets away at some point, he will see that he finds no love elsewhere, but only hypocrisy and will come back. But if he remembers bad scenes in the house, bruises and disputes, how to make his heart go back ";
• “We help children spiritually with our example, not by force ". "The children in the crib are still copying their parents. They stir up everything,what adults see and write in their empty cassette ". "It simply came to our notice then, he taught them to fight with joy, to avoid the temptations of life, not to be easily disturbed in the face of a difficulty, but to face it with prayer and trust in God ".
• “When the child is anxious, if his mother hugs him and caresses him and kisses him , calms down, calms down. If he is satisfied with affection and love, when it is small, then he has the power to face the problems of life ".
• "By coercion parents do not help children drown". "Parents need to control their children in a way that brings them to account, but not to create gaps between them ". "Parents should try to help their children in a manorial way, who cultivates the philotimos in their souls, to understand the good as a need ". This is how my father tried all his life to teach me, always in a good way, he always threw me at the philotimos and I did what he wanted.

"Repentance, confession cuts off the devil's right ", said Elder Paisios. Also for the confession he tells us not to make excuses: "Anyone who confesses and justifies himself, has no internal rest, as unconscious as he is. The reliefs he uses in his confession become aggravating for his conscience. While, whoever exaggerates his mistakes, because he has a subtle conscience, and accepts a great rule from the spiritual, he feels expressionless joy.

I have noticed that those who expose their mistakes humbly to the spiritual and are humiliated, lampoon, because they accept the Grace of God ". "So, and when you love your neighbor with MOTHER LOVE, you justify his weaknesses and do not see his mistakes, but even if you see them, forgive them. Then your heart floods with love, because you become imitators of Christ who tolerates us all. ".
Elder, how my heart will widen; "It simply came to our notice then, you have to take something out of it and throw away your lust. If the ivy of affluence and narrow logic that drowns you dries up, your spiritual tree will now grow freely. I wish you a quick release of your heart completely, to grow and widen.
I now know how I feel; I feel such MOTHER LOVE, such affection and tenderness, that I did not have before.
The whole world fits inside me. I want to hug all people, to help them. Because love cannot be closed in the heart.

Saint Paisios makes it clear to us that no psalm says that the unrighteous, there is nothing worse than injustice. Everything you do has God's blessing. Whatever man does according to the Will and the blessing he achieves, what he does with cunning does not thrive. When man is righteous he has God on his side, when he has the parsimony of God miracles happen. The honesty of man is superior to the Holy wood.

What matters is that we do it according to God's will and then we will have God on our side.
The whole secret is enlightenment, the Holy Spirit has the divine energy and descends alone when he finds the spiritual conditions in man. In order to ascend to the heavenly Paradise, a holy Elder tells us, it is necessary to have faith in the Householder of Paradise., to love Him, to acknowledge our sinfulness, to humble ourselves to know Him and to converse with Him in prayer and to glorify Him both when He helps us and when He tests us. When man remains in his physical knowledge, it remains in nature and does not ascend to Heaven. When man is humbled and enlightened then the mind is sanctified, while before enlightenment the energy of the mind is carnal. The wisest thing I will think, the wisest solution I will find is the greatest nonsense, when she has selfishness in her, while humility is real wisdom. Humility helps everything, wants a fight . Spiritual people sometimes pretend not to have God, he did not let God act. God knows how it works. In other words, there are spiritual means to deal with difficult situations. Spiritually, we are going to act cosmically. The whole secret to having a connection with the Creator, to have everything, is to praise God. This is what Father Paisios used to tell us: “You do not feel Heaven, why do not you praise God, when man moves in the realm of doxology; he rejoices in everything, when man thanks God even for the few, then comes the blessing of God richly ". So we praise God for what is happening to us.

Saint Paisios, a true spokesman for Christ, believes that in order for us to be truly happy, we must keep our hearts pure, not to make bad calculations (thoughts). Only if the Divine Spirit settles permanently in our heart and we feel the presence of God will we be truly happy. “The Holy Spirit, when he sees our pure heart, comes and dwells in us, because he loves purity. The whole basis is good reasoning. This is what elevates man, alters him for the better. We must be careful not to accept the devil's telegrams (negative thoughts) so as not to defile "the Temple of the Holy Spirit" and remove the Grace of God, so we get dark ". "It simply came to our notice then, man is purified mentally, moves reverently, pacifies, and his life is Paradise. Different, he sees everything with suspicion and his life becomes hell. He makes his life hell on his own ".

Only if we follow the Lord, we save our soul. If we follow our "I", we lose it. It is so natural that what Saint Paisios told us always happens: if we do not have God in our heart, then the devil enters us and ignites the passions in us, which is the focus on serving our earthly vehicle and not our soul which is our true self.

The cause of the failure of all marriages is affluence, Selfishness. When there is intense affluence we can not fit in with anyone. Marriage means uniting in one body, I erase my "I", I accept the other as he is. I do not impose what I want on him, I do not want to change him. On the other hand, of course, I don't need to allow him to "level" me.. This of course is achieved not by imposing the "I", but with extreme humility. All creation submits to the humble man, even wild animals, Saint Paisios tells us.

As much as our body, the leather body we are wearing, tested, so the soul is sanctified, Saint Paisios tells us, And it continues: "As long as I benefited from the illness, I did not benefit from all the exercises and prayers I did all my life ".

When our flesh is humbled, with vigilance, fasting, prayer, then our soul is humbled and then the Grace of God visits it and we are saved.

Disease is ultimately a visit of God, because with disease the whole of our being is humiliated, then Aunt Grace visits us and we are filled with fullness and joy.

The devil is ingenious, he has infinite cunning and his purpose is our destruction: "Every machine plots for daily loss". (saint Nile) Saint Paisios tells us that there are demons with specialty, every man fights differently, because people have a different character. That is why he launches a big attack on those who start living their spiritual lives and brings them great misfortunes to disappoint them., to stop the spiritual life.

Their egotists strike at selfishness, he hits their greedy people with money, flirting with food and the desire for carnal contact with every person of the opposite sex he meets. He puts arrogant thoughts on the respectable humble man, that he is good, he is perfect, worth a lot. The devil understands which of the three passions that dominate man, greed, lust and ambition, there is weakness and it hits him.

The devil is flamboyant. The devil's goal is to believe that he does not exist. It is presented with various masks. Hiding, surprises us, confuses our minds.

"Joy belongs to Christ, the sorrow is of the devil. Whoever has medicine in him means that he is not leaning on Christ. Selfishness brings despair and sadness. Anyone who is upset by philotimos, he throws the weight on himself and has consolation and rest from God. Anyone who is upset by selfishness, throws the weight on others.

»If we are justified, we give space to the devil and he comes and upsets us. Let's see what we have to choose, the humility that gives us comfort or the selfishness that brings sorrow, anxiety and agitation. Selfish people are always bitter, they always feel wronged by others.

"When you see a man have great sorrow and grief, while he lacks nothing, means that he is far from God, has infinite "I". The man who is ungrateful and grumbles, his trials come and he suffers. The grumpy man is constantly chased by temptation. The tagalaki (the devil) he constantly wants to see us sad, that's his job.

"The antidote to sorrow is praise to God. You are not happy, you do not see the sky, why do not you praise God. Keep praising God for everything,what do you have, doxology glorifies everything. When man praises God for the few, infinite blessing comes to him from God ". (saint Paisius)

To become empty people, free from our "I", our old selves, it is necessary to identify our will with the will of God. The sadness, the jealousy, envy, they come from our "I" and are a perversion of the forces of our soul, Saint Paisios tells us.

Our Paisius Saint speaks of the power of the Holy Cross: "Elder, I fear the Tagalaki ".
"What's to fear; The tags have no power. Christ is omnipotent. The temptation is rotten. Cross not antisense; The devil's weapons are weak. Our Christ has armed us by His Cross. When we let go of the spiritual weapons, then the enemy has power. An orthodox priest shows a small cross to a magician and makes the demon, who invokes his magic, tremble. ".

St. Paisius answers the question, because the devil is afraid of the cross:

"Why, when Christ accepts impressions, slaps and scratches, then the kingdom and power of the devil is overthrown. Patience is the spiritual defense and humility is the greatest weapon against the devil. The greatest balm of Christ's cross sacrifice is that the devil was crushed.

»After the Crucifixion of Christ, it is now like the snake that has its venom removed or like the dog that has its teeth removed.. The medicine is removed from the devil, teeth are removed from dogs, demons. Now the demons are disarmed and we with the Cross are armed.
Nothing, nothing can not do demons plasma God, when we do not give them rights. Only make a fuss, They have no power ".

"Nowadays, unfortunately trust in logic, shakes the faith from the foundations and filled the souls with doubts. That’ this deprives us of miracles, because the miracle is not explained by logic ". (saint Paisius) Life is to live in the truth that is the words of Christ and not to live in the logic that is an analysis of the limited data we have.

"With prayer Christ gives us the opportunity to speak with Him. Prayer is conversation with Christ. By prayer we can talk with Him then. Prayer is to put Christ in our hearts, to love Christ with all our heart. The more one prays, the more confident he feels ". (saint Paisius).

The return of the mind to the heart is done by the clean (to strip rubble to show God, like St. Paisius said) and the "incessant prayer". Then the Lord dwells in our heart and constantly nourishes us with His Grace. Without God we can not do anything, without the constant invocation of the name of the Lord we can not do anything.

All the above are excerpts from my new book "The Road to Deification" and from my books "This is how the Miracle Happens", "A Life Full of Light", "The Source of All".

I'm always by your side to liberate all our problems, To fly from health and joy and be led to the light.

with infinite, love in Christ
