Every man, every Orthodox Christian sees the God and approaches Him, having first tested by fire and water. If you do not pass the Christian chimneys, leisure activities not coming. Thats why the good Lord, who etazei heart and kidneys knows very well what each of us holds inside the depth of his heart in terms of passion, in terms of charisma and intentions and intervene accordingly, usually with bitter medicines. Many times and crucifixion real to us righting mentally, make us mentally healthy ... God stirs a war and especially in our monks. Allows the demon and puts us in battle, but does not leave us without Grace. At the same time comes and stands invisibly and strengthens the soul, illuminating the man, teaching him the war and thus gives the battle. There or will marry or be defeated ... The number one war is all carnal. Starting from the youth. Allows the demon of fornication, to fight the war with humans, possibly outside world was unknown, that may have been outside or life clean, not entangled with sin and was in normal situation. God knew that out in the world, if allowed the demon him to hurt him, not going to fend for man. In illuminates, giving the preliminary grace, giving excitement, gives him the will, the strength, I renounce the world and comes here. Enters the battlefield, and then unleashes the demon of prostitution. He says: Fight now. And the monk comes and says: How I did not have this war? Getting rid now?. Or gives other war and feel that was worse here, which is the monastery, while the world was not war, it had so temptations. Says the calculus that was better there than here. But not so. Here unleashed the demon here released him to a fight. Why to bring witness agonist and rightfully take the crown. So it is said that if people knew that the monk has many temptations, there would become monks. Other and vice versa, if they knew the glory of monks in the other world, all of them became monks. According to Saint Isaac the Syrian God does not want for another life oxen mindless, untouched, unwise, but not wise sages in the cosmic sense, but wise in the war against the demons in the world and of themselves. Man must become more militant and in this war the complex is wise and holds most of godly wisdom, as he learns the art of arts and the science of sciences. So rises and becomes heir. What reign? No. earthly, not outsoles but of eternal imperishable Basel. We are todays people have the same wars, why is the same demons, have not changed. Come, then, and we fight as their fathers old. But those were brave because they won and became great. We press on. Our Software Brings eg against our brother and not the wars we sit and we accept them. Why I said a reason why stravokoitaxe, why not serve me knit and knit and software. And then what happens? We go from bad to worse. And wasting our time and the Devil is too craftsman, rejoice. Let him, he says, the moon now. Time passes and everything ugly consolidates within us. Will grow, they will grow and will become ant lion! After you become a great lion and when we realize that now brought us and our ride has wrapped for good, will stand up, ostensibly to refute, but we will meet power share. And saith Saint Ephraim: With lion grappled to fight? Careful not to crush your bones!. Abba Dorotheus says: And what is one reason that will tell or a thought to think of Yes, but the one thought will bring another and one another calculus or a retreat on the other so, slowly becomes the passionate man. from the book: The Art of Salvation Holy Monastery of Philotheou
