Remember that every obstacle is admonition from God (St. Seraphim Bíritsa)

Have you ever thought that everything concerning you, relate to me? Because what about you relate to the apple of my eye? You are precious in my eyes and I have loved you, for this is a great pleasure for me to train you. When temptation comes on you and the opponent, like the river, I want you to know, that was from me.
I want you to know your weakness needs my strength, and your safety is in let me protect you. I want you to know that when you are in difficult circumstances, among people who don’t understand you, don’t consider what you are, and euáresta away from me that was. I am your God, the circumstances of life is in my hands, you randomly in your position, is exactly the position which I have set. Don’t beg me to teach you the humiliation?

And, I put you in this very environment, the school where I teach this class.

Your environment, and those who live around, only carry out my will. Have financial difficulties and when you make a living, I want you to know that, that was from me.

I want you to know that I have your money and you resort to me, and know that depend on me. I want you to know that my reserves are inexhaustible, and make sure I’m faithful to my promises. To never happen to tell you your need “don’t believe in the Lord and your God”

Have you ever spent a night in sorrow? Are you separated from your relatives, the people you love? I allow for you to turn to me, and me to find the eternal comfort and relief. Fooled you your friend or someone to whom you open your heart, from me that was.

I allowed to touch this disappointment to learn that your best friend is the Lord. I want to bring them all to me and all to tell me. Someone slandered you, to leave it to me, to me to get attached to me, your Lord has to hide from the disputant nations. I will make your righteousness shine like the light, and your life, like the middle of the day. Ruined your plans, bend your soul and is exhausted, from me that was.

Making plans and you had your own ends, God brought them to bless them. But I want you to leave me, to direct and manipulate the circumstances of your life, because you’re the orphan, and not the star. Found in unexpected failures, and despair took over your heart, to know from me that was.

Because with this fatigue and stress testing how strong is your faith in the promises and my parēsía in your prayer for your relatives. Don’t trust you care for them in thoughtful honey? Don’t you know that. and now you leave them in the protection of my mother panágnou? Found you serious illness that can be cured or is incurable and ratted you out on your bed, from That was me.

Because I want to know me deeper, through physical illness and not gongýzeis about this ordeal that you sent and don’t try to understand my plans, the salvation of the soul of the people in various ways, but duringwhich and humble to duck Your head in front of my goodness. Dreamed about doing something special and special for me and instead of doing it fell on the bed of pain from me that was.

Because then you’d be immersed in your projects, and I wouldn’t be able to attract your thoughts to me, but I want to teach the profound thoughts and my homework, to serve me. I want to know to you that you are nothing without me.

Some of my best friends my sons are those who are cut off from the active life, to learn how to use the weapon of continuous prayer. Were called unexpectedly to take a responsible position, based on me. I do not trust these difficulties, and for that I will bless you Lord thy God in all your works, in all ways, in all, life coach and your teacher will be your master. On this day, in your hands, my son gave this container with Uncle Myrrh, to use it freely. Always remember that every difficulty you’ll meet, challenging every word, every calumny and penetration, every obstacle to your work, which could lead to frustration and disappointment, revealing any of my weakness and your helplessness will chríetai with this oil . That was from me.

Remember that every obstacle is admonition from God, and that’s why you put in your heart that reason, I have revealed to you on this day. That was from me.

To know and remember – always, wherever you are, that any sting, ease when will you learn all you can see me all your sent from me, for the completion of your soul, all that was from me.

Να θυμάσαι πως κάθε εμπόδιο είναι νουθεσία από τον Θεό (Αγ.Σεραφείμ Βίριτσα)

Έχεις ποτέ σκεφτεί ότι όλα που αφορούν εσένα, αφορούν και Εμένα; Διότι αυτά που αφορούν εσένα αφορούν την κόρη του οφθαλμού Μου; Είσαι πολύτιμη στα μάτια Μου και σε έχω αγαπήσει, για αυτό είναι ιδιαίτερη χαρά για Μένα να σε εκπαιδεύσω. Όταν οι πειρασμοί έρχονται επάνω σου και ο πολέμιος, σαν το ποτάμι, θέλω να ξέρεις ότι, Από Μένα ήταν αυτό.

Θέλω να ξέρεις ότι η αδυναμία σου έχει ανάγκη από τη δύναμη Μου, και η ασφάλεια σου βρίσκεται στο να Με αφήσεις να σε προστατεύω. Θέλω να ξέρεις ότι, όταν βρίσκεσαι σε δύσκολες συνθήκες, μεταξύ των ανθρώπων που δεν σε καταλαβαίνουν, δεν λογαριάζουν αυτά που σου είναι ευάρεστα, και σε απομακρύνουν Από Μένα ήταν αυτό. Είμαι ο Θεός σου, οι περιστάσεις τις ζωής είναι στα χέρια μου, δεν βρέθηκες τυχαία στη θέση σου, είναι ακριβώς η θέση που σου έχω ορίσει. Δε Με παρακαλούσες να σου μάθω την ταπείνωση;

Και να, σε έβαλα σ’ αυτό ακριβώς το περιβάλλον, στο σχολείο όπου διδάσκουν αυτό το μάθημα.

Το περιβάλλον σου, και αυτοί που ζουν γύρω σου, μόνο εκτελούν το θέλημά Μου. Έχει οικονομικές δυσκολίες και μόλις τα βγάζεις πέρα, να ξέρεις ότι, Από Μένα ήταν αυτό.

Θέλω να ξέρεις ότι Εγώ διαθέτω τα χρήματα σου και να καταφεύγεις σε μένα, και να γνωρίζεις ότι εξαρτάσαι από Μένα. Θέλω να ξέρεις ότι τα αποθέματά Μου είναι ανεξάντλητα, και να βεβαιωθείς ότι είμαι πιστός στις υποσχέσεις Μου. Να μη συμβεί ποτέ να σου πουν την ανάγκη σου «Μην πιστεύεις στον Κύριο και Θεό σου»

Έχεις περάσει ποτέ νύχτα μέσα στη θλίψη; Είσαι χωρισμένος από τους συγγενείς σου, τους ανθρώπους που αγαπάς; Σου το επέτρεψα για να στραφείς σε Μένα, και σε Μένα να βρεις την αιώνια παρηγοριά και ανακούφιση. Σε ξεγέλασε ο φίλος σου ή κάποιος που του είχες ανοίξει την καρδιά σου, Από Μένα ήταν αυτό.

Εγώ επέτρεψα να σε αγγίξει αυτή η απογοήτευση, για να μάθεις ότι ο καλύτερος φίλος σου είναι ο Κύριος. Θέλω να τα φέρνεις όλα σε Μένα και όλα να Μου τα λες. Σε συκοφάντησε κάποιος, να το αφήσεις σ’ εμένα, σε Μένα να προσκολληθείς, σε Μένα η καταφυγή σου, για να κρυφτείς από την αντιλογία εθνών. Θα κάνω την δικαιοσύνη σου να λάμψει σαν το φως και την ζωή σου, σαν μέρα μεσημέρι. Καταστράφηκαν τα σχέδιά σου, λύγισε η ψυχή σου και είναι εξαντλημένη, Από Μένα ήταν αυτό.

Έκανες σχέδια και είχες δικούς σου σκοπούς Μου, τα έφερες να τα ευλογήσω. Αλλά Εγώ θέλω να αφήσεις σε Μένα, να κατευθύνω και να χειραγωγώ τις περιστάσεις της ζωής σου, διότι είσαι το ορφανό, και όχι ο πρωταγωνιστής. Σε βρήκαν απροσδόκητες αποτυχίες, και η απελπισία κατέλαβε την καρδιά σου, να ξέρεις, Από Μένα ήταν αυτό.

Διότι μ’ αυτή την κούραση και το άγχος δοκιμάζω πόσο ισχυρή είναι η πίστη σου στις υποσχέσεις Μου και την παρησία σου στη προσευχή για τους συγγενείς σου. Δεν ήσουν εσύ που εμπιστεύτηκες τις φροντίδες γι’ αυτούς στην προνοητική αγάπη Μου; Δεν είσαι συ που και τώρα τους αφήνεις στην προστασία της Πανάγνου Μητέρας Μου; Σε βρήκε σοβαρή ασθένεια, που μπορεί να γιατρευτεί ή είναι αθεράπευτη και σε κάρφωσε στο κρεβάτι σου, Από Μένα ήταν αυτό.

Επειδή θέλω να Με γνωρίσεις πιο βαθιά, μέσω της σωματικής ασθένειας και να μην γογγύζεις γι’ αυτή την δοκιμασία που σου στέλνεται και να μην προσπαθείς να καταλάβεις τα σχέδια Μου, της σωτηρίας της ψυχής των ανθρώπων με διάφορους τρόπους, αλλά αγόγγυστα και ταπεινά να σκύψεις το κεφάλι σου μπροστά στην αγαθότητά Μου. Ονειρευόσουν να κάνεις κάτι ξεχωριστό και ιδιαίτερο για Μένα και αντί να το κάνεις έπεσες στο κρεβάτι του πόνου Από Μένα ήταν αυτό.

Διότι τότε θα ήσουν βυθισμένος στα δικά σου έργα, και Εγώ δεν θα μπορούσα να προσελκύσω τις σκέψεις σου σε Μένα, αλλά Εγώ θέλω να διδάσκω τις βαθύτατες σκέψεις και τα μαθήματα Μου, για να Με υπηρετείς. Θέλω να σε μάθω να συναισθάνεσαι πως είσαι τίποτα χωρίς Εμένα.

Μερικοί από τους καλύτερους υιούς Μου είναι αυτοί, οι οποίοι είναι αποκομμένοι από την δραστική ζωή, για να μάθουν να χειρίζονται το όπλο της αδιάλειπτης προσευχής. Κλήθηκες απροσδόκητα να αναλάβεις μία δύσκολη και υπεύθυνη θέση, στηριγμένη σε Μένα. Σου εμπιστεύομαι τις δυσκολίες αυτές, και γι’ αυτό θα σε ευλογήσει Κύριος ο Θεός σου σ’ όλα τα έργα σου, σ’ όλους τους δρόμους σου, σ’ όλα, Καθοδηγητής και Δάσκαλος σου θα είναι ο Κύριος σου. Την ημέρα αυτή, στα χέρια σου, τέκνο Μου έδωσα αυτό το δοχείο με το θείο μύρο, να το χρησιμοποιείς ελεύθερα. Να θυμάσαι πάντοτε ότι κάθε δυσκολία που θα συναντήσεις, κάθε προκλητική λέξη, κάθε διαβολή και κατάκριση, κάθε εμπόδιο στα έργα σου, που θα μπορούσε να προκαλέσει αγανάκτηση και απογοήτευση, κάθε φανέρωση της αδυναμίας και της ανικανότητας σου, θα χρίεται μ’ αυτό το έλαιο. Από Μένα ήταν αυτό.

Να θυμάσαι πως κάθε εμπόδιο είναι νουθεσία από τον Θεό, και γι’ αυτό να βάλεις στην καρδιά σου αυτόν τον λόγο, που σου έχω αποκαλύψει την ημέρα αυτή. Από Μένα ήταν αυτό.

Να ξέρεις και να θυμάσαι – πάντα, όπου και να είσαι, ότι οποιοδήποτε κεντρί, θα αμβλυνθεί μόλις θα μάθεις σε όλα να βλέπεις Εμένα Όλα σου στάλθηκαν από Μένα, για την τελείωση της ψυχής σου, Όλα αυτά ήταν από μένα.

Official inquest into George Michael’s death likely to be delayed until early next year

George Michael leaves fortune to favourite sister

Bulk of the star’s £105million estate will go to hairdresser Melanie, 55, with his godchildren also named in his will.

George Michael’s sister Melanie is expected to inherit half of the singer’s fortune following his shock death from heart failure, it has been reported.

The megastar, 53, is understood to have left £50million of his estimated £105million estate to 55-year-old hairdresser Melanie, to whom he was particularly close.

Michael’s other sister, Yioda, 57, is also expected to inherit part of the fortune, the Sun reported. His Godchildren are also thought to be named in his will.

A source told the Sun: ‘George was very close to his sisters, and the understanding is that they’re going to inherit most of his wealth, particularly Melanie who he was incredibly close to.

‘She was there at many of the big milestones in his life, and was there by his side until the very end.’

Melanie used to cut her brother’s hair and was once hired as a make-up artist for a tour of China, the newspaper reported.

It was previously reported that Michael’s Godchildren are also likely to inherit large sums from the singer’s will.

With his parents

George Michael hoped to be buried next to his mother in a family burial plot that he bought near his north London home, sources have revealed.

A friend who grew up with him has now told how the Wham! singer will be laid to rest next to her in Highgate Cemetery, north London.

Katerina Pourikou, the sister of George’s former best friend Andros Georgiou, told The Sun: ‘It has been really hard. I knew he hadn’t been very well but none of us know what happened.

‘Everyone in the family is struggling to take it in but at least he is finally at rest with his mum now.’

The star is said to have been devastated since the death of his mother Lesley Panayiotou to cancer in 1997.

The official cause of the Wham! legend’s death has yet to be determined

There is likely to be a long wait to find out the official cause of George Michael’s death.

The legendary gay icon was found dead on Christmas Day by his partner, at the age of just 53.

While it’s believed the Faith singer died from ‘heart failure,’ his official cause of death has yet to be determined.

Sadly due to the time of year, Oxfordshire Coroner’s Court is currently closed and doesn’t open again until January 4 when its first cases of 2017 are scheduled.

George’s cause of death has yet to be made official.

It’s therefore likely that George’s case will be opened and then adjourned on that date.

George Michael’s heartbroken lover said yesterday how Christmas turned to tragedy when he found the pop star lying lifeless in bed .

Fadi Fawaz said he would never stop missing the former Wham! singer, who suffered heart failure, aged 53.

He said: “We were supposed to be going for Christmas lunch.

“I went round there to wake him up and he was just gone, lying peacefully in bed. We don’t know what happened yet.

“Everything had been very complicated recently, but George was looking forward to Christmas, and so was I.

George Michael partied until the end as he hosted wild all-night bashes just weeks before his tragic death.

Fadi Fawaz and George Michael had everything to look forward to.

“Now everything is ruined. I want people to remember him the way he was – he was a beautiful person.”

Speaking to the Mirror earlier, he added: “It’s a big shock, obviously and it’s really upsetting.

“I stayed the whole weekend. I was there Friday night and then I found him Sunday. I found him dead in the morning. It was peaceful.”

He later tweeted: “It’s a Xmas I will never forget finding your partner dead peacefully in bed first thing in the morning.. I will never stop missing you.”

Fadi, who has been seeing George since 2009, also confirmed no funeral plans had been finalised for the star, who passed away at his £5million home in Goring, Oxfordshire.

We can also reveal George had been hosting wild all-night parties in the past few weeks.

The star enjoyed raucous nights until 8am with friends at his £8million mansion in Highgate, North London – despite a reported stay at a Swiss rehab clinic last year.

A source said: “George loved having friends over and was often still going strong well into the following morning. This continued right up until his death.

“He may have been in his 50s but it’s fair to say he gave much younger partygoers a run for their money and the atmosphere was always quite hedonistic.”
As fans left flowers and tributes outside both of the legend’s homes, Thames Valley Police said they were treating the death as “unexplained, but not suspicious”.

George’s manager Michael Lippman said the exact time of death was not clear but there was “no foul play whatsoever” and his death had been unexpected.

US publicist Cindi Berger added that the star, who sold more than 100 million records, had not been ill.

George Michael died on Christmas Day

George – real name Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou – had been in good spirits, according to close friend and former Wham! backing singer Shirlie Kemp.

She said: “Only last week I saw him laughing and happy. My heart is broken to lose someone so special.”

George, who battled addiction to crack cocaine and marijuana, as well as bouts of depression for more than 20 years, had become increasingly reclusive.

His public appearances in recent months have been few and far between.

He was seen out for dinner in September at a restaurant near his Oxfordshire home where he shocked onlookers with his bloated appearance.

A neighbour in Highgate also said he looked “tired” and “haggard” earlier this year.

Sasha Gretsay, who lives nearby, said: “I remember thinking he looked unwell. He looked worried and older than my friend who was 57.”

A 69-year-old neighbour in Goring said George was notably absent from the Christmas Eve midnight mass service at his local church.

He had attended in previous years. Friends believe that he had made at least two suicide attempts over the years.

In 2013, he was airlifted to hospital with head injuries after throwing himself out of a friend’s Range Rover at 70mph on the M1.

He claimed at the time that he was checking the door. A pal also claimed he once slashed his wrists.

The friend said: “Over the past few years, there has often been concern for his welfare.”

People have left tributes outside the singer’s house.

Last year George was reportedly treated for drug addiction at the £190,000-a-month Kusnacht practice in Switzerland.

Despite fears over his lifestyle and health, he was planning a comeback

He was working on a new album – his first studio effort since 2004 – as well as putting the “finishing touches” to a documentary called Freedom: George Michael.

A source said: “In many respects, 2017 was very much going to be his year which is what makes this so utterly tragic.

“The new music and the documentary were very much at the forefront of his mind and he was excited to share them.”

A world tour was even said to be planned, including Australia in 2018.

Promoter Paul Dainty said: “It’s a total shock, I was in the process of setting stuff up with his manager.”

George’s final gig was at Earl’s Court, London, in 2012.

Michael’s cousin Andros Georgiou (pictured together) said he had repeatedly begged the Careless Whisper singer to get help because he feared his addictions would eventually kill him

Greek grandmother Anastassia Ontou becomes world’s oldest surrogate mother

Anastassia Ontou after giving birth to her granddaughter.

A 67-year-old Greek grandmother has given birth to her daughter’s baby girl, becoming the world’s oldest surrogate mother.

Anastassia Ontou decided she had to offer to carry the baby after her daughter suffered through seven failed pregnancy attempts.

Mrs Ontou, from a village near Larissa, central Greece, gave birth to the 2.6lb girl on Tuesday via Caesarian section, after a pregnancy lasting seven and a half months.

She said yesterday: “I feel more like a grandmother than a mother. It was an easy decision for me – my daughter was heartbroken after not being able to carry the baby herself.”

Mrs Ontou’s daughter Constantina, 43, said she thought her mother was “crazy” when she offered to carry the child.

“I told her she’s crazy,” she said. “We haven’t cried like this in years.2 Mrs Ontou, said that she had been fortunate enough to have faced few problems during the pregnancy.

Constantinos Pantos, Mrs Ontou’s supervising obstetrician, said: “This is a heroic grandmother.”

He said that “based on international records, this is the oldest surrogate mother who is also a grandmother, based on her daughter’s medical condition.”

Mr Pantos, who heads a fertility clinic in Athens, said he had personal reservations about the pregnancy, but was convinced to go ahead after court in Larissa gave its approval. “Because of the grandmother’s age, it’s the first time such a ruling has been issued,” he said.

The oldest woman to have given birth is believed to be Omkari Panwar, from India, who had a twin boy and girl in July 2009. She claimed to be 70, although she had no birth certificate.

However, according to the Guinness Book of Records, the oldest officially recognised mother is Maria del Carmen Bousada Lara from Spain, who was 66 years and 358 old when she gave birth to twin boys in Barcelona in 2006.

Miss Bousada de Lara died from cancer in 2009, leaving her sons orphaned before their third birthday.

The former shop worker, who was single, sparked controversy over her decision to become a mother so late in life. Her own family called her “selfish and irresponsible” for rendering it so likely that her children would be orphaned.

She admitted lying about her age to doctors in order to receive fertility treatment at a private clinic in Los Angeles, for which she paid a reported £30,000.

Shortly after the birth of her sons by caesarean section in Barcelona, Miss Bousada de Lara defended her decision.”I have wanted to be a mother all my life, but I never had the opportunity, or met the right man,” she said.

Britain’s oldest first time mother is Elizabeth Adeney, from Lindgate in Suffolk, who gave birth to a son at the age of 66, in May 2009. Mrs Adeney travelled to Ukraine for IVF treatment, as clinics here do not treat women aged over 50.

At the time of her son Jolyon’s birth, at Addenbrooke’s Hospital, Cambridge, she said: “It’s not physical age that is important – it’s how I feel inside. Some days I feel 39. Others, I feel 56.”

10-year-old Helen Karapidis was abducted 22 December 1988 from her Marrickville home

10-year-old Helen Karapidis was abducted 22 December 1988 from her Marrickville home complex grounds by members of the Wood Royal Commission pedophile network.

This child trafficking network included government social workers, Aunties and Uncles program staff, Hillsong architect Ian Longstaff who redesigned their Young St, Waterloo church building, David Young who, with Ian, collected kids to attend ‘Youngies’ youth club, and convicted pedophile and Hillsong staff member John Baxter.

Helen attended Hillsong Kids’ Club. She knew her abductors, which explains why she disappeared so.

Hillsong founding pastor Frank Houston was a convicted pedophile who sought and trafficked children to the Sydney VIP pedophile ring based in Kings Cross boy brothels. Houston was named multiple times to the Wood Royal Commission. These children were sought by Hillsong from low socioeconomic families with single mothers, parents in trouble with the law, and who had been brought to the attention of the Department of Children’s Services.

Helen Karapidis was ritually murdered days following her abduction, during an evening church service, in a secret room that overlooked the congregation at Hillsong Church Young St, Waterloo.

Two children aged 6 and 8 witnessed Helen Karapidis’ ritual murder and reported this to police. The children later won a NSW Victim Compensation claim in court on the basis of witnessing Helen Karapidi’s murder in Hillsong Church. The children also witnessed several other children murdered at that same church.

Police did not investigate the child witnesses’ testimonies, did not conduct forensic investigations at Hillsong Church at Young St, Waterloo. Instead, police targeted the child witnesses and their mother. Case discussion notes from a meeting held regarding this case at the Children’s Hospital in Camperdown, Sydney, and attended by the Department of Children’s Services, stated: ‘Officer John Hesslop said we have concerns about containing the mother.’ Police also targeted Helen Karapidis’ father and tried to frame him for Helen’s abduction. This never stuck…because it was a lie.

60 Minutes reporter Mike Munroe left Channel 9 after the network failed to air this story. The 60 Minutes team recorded psychiatrist Dr Anne Schlebaum interviewing the 2 witnesses. Royal Commissioner James Wood then slammed Dr Schlebaum and dismissed her report which supported the child witnesses. Judge Patricia ‘Patty’ Bergan was promoted to Supreme Court after tearing apart genuine victims, witnesses and their testimonial evidence at the Wood Royal Commission.

The mainstream media contributed to the cover up of Helen Karapidis’ murder at Hillsong Church by refusing to report the truth, and by lying in print about the case and reporting terrible untruths about Helen’s father.

One of the child witnesses to Helen’s ritual murder at Hillsong Church is spending this Christmas in prison. He was recently arrested immediately after his mother spoke with Helen Karapidis’ family and told them for the first time what became of their little girl. He was charged for defending himself after a gang of thugs attacked him. When the victim’s barrister phoned NSW Police for information pertaining to the charges, NSW police allegedly told the barrister to fuck off…

Will keep you posted regarding how the police handle this case. It may be time for us to send the NSW Police Commissioner Scipione a few Christmas cards…

It is anniversary time for the greatest perversion of justice Australia has never seen or heard.

Watch George Michael perform “I’m Your Man,” “Freedom 90” and “I Remember You” at London’s Earls Court on his last tour

Flashback: George Michael Plays Final Encore at Last Concert

The tour wrapped at London’s Earls Court on October 17th, 2012. A fan caught most of the encore with a cellphone camera, which you can watch right here. It begins with a medley of “Amazing,” “I’m Your Man” and “Freedom! ’90,” some of the only originals he played all night. It wrapped up with a cover of the Victor Schertzinger/Johnny Mercer 1941 pop song “I Remember You,” which has been covered by everyone from Doris Day to Kenny Rogers. The lyrics take on a new poignancy when you know it’s the last thing he ever sang in public. “When my life is through,” he sings. “And the angels ask me to recall/The thrill of them all/Then I will tell them I remember you.”

Over the next four years there were constant rumors that Wham! was going to reform or Michael was going to head back on the road or record a new album, but there were also steady press reports that he was in failing health.

Tragically, he died on on Christmas Day in 2016 of unknown causes.
