Some words of Hope for us facing today's global crisis.

-Presenter: Good morning, I would like to share with you something that will give strength and courage to many people. 2 hours ago my husband returned for Mt Athos. He had been at Konstamonitou (κωνσταμονιτου) Monastery, one of the poorest Monastery of Mt Athos.
There reside two clairvoyant Elders; Elder Barnabas, and Elder Dionisios.

Elder Barnabas is a very pleasant Elder. No matter how many hours you wait he will see you and talk to you.
There were many people gathered (including my husband), raising the same questions:

"What is going to happen? What will we do? Where will we go? Will God help us?"

Elder Barnabas answered:

"All of the forthcoming afflictions will be overthrowned. With much prayer and daily struggle (spiritual), their plans will not happen. In 1 or 2 months all the plans they have made will not pass. These people are dominated by the devil and are doing things that we Christians cannot fathom. We must however fight, by going to protests and trouble them continually and not leaving them alone."

-Presenter: In fact, he says:

"We should have a unified gathering, the bigger the better. Telling each other to gather up. My child, these things will be overthrowned very soon. But God wants from us: prayer, repentance, and great struggle.

Everything that we are going through right now will end really soon. Be close to God. Just as they have their plans, God has his plans also. Have patience, and be certain that God will not abandon you.
God will overthrow all their plans using a way that we are not aware of right now. It will be something very awesome that will grab the attention of everyone in the world.

Therefore stay close to God, with prayer and struggling, do whatever you can do. With the above mentioned, there is no chance of God abandoning you."

-Presenter: This is what I wanted to share with you. I personally received a lot of courage from these edifying words, and hope you too at least received a speck of hope. Thank you.
