Repentance isn't just a prayer.

[Shahriq Khan @RealShahriqKhan]

You know what wrecked me when I was converting to Christianity?

Jihad is literally the gospel in reverse. Once I saw it, I couldn't unsee it.

The gospel says Christ shed His blood for YOU.
Jihad says you shed your blood for ALLAH.
Jesus lays down His life to save His enemies. Jihad calls you to take the lives of enemies in pursuit of God's favor.

Christianity says the Shepherd dies so the sheep can live. Jihad says the sheep die hoping the Shepherd accepts them.

They are mirrors. One is grace, the other is striving.

One says, "It is finished." The other says, "Do more."

Jesus never asked me to earn God's love with my blood, he proved God's love by shedding His own.

That's why the cross changed everything for me. Jesus didn't come to tell us how to die for God.

He came to die for us so we could truly live. PRAISE GOD! I AM FREE! Now, we need to make all the Muslims Christian.

I let them biopsy my neck. It confirmed the cancer. What’s interesting is in 6 months it has stayed contained and I believe the protocol is working.

The reason I allowed it is because my friend who was cured of stage 4 (metastasis to the bone) had multiple biopsies and even let them do a surgery but refused chemo and radiation and his cancer went into remission and he was fine.

He was on the same protocol as me.

Now they want me to do chemo and radiation.

Pray for me. They drained the tumor though. The ivermectin and fenbenzole should stop it from spreading around my body. I am just not sure what to do now.

Any choice has potential lethal consequences.

Lord have mercy.

Thy icon called “Queen of All” was miraculously glorified when it appeared conveying healing. Do Thou give healing to those who with faith sing before it that such healing would be multiplied by songs such as these:
Rejoice, the Mother of Unfading Light.
Rejoice, the Victory of those who suffer to the end.
Rejoice, the Medication of those who are in illness and sorrow.
Rejoice, the inviolable Wall of all orphans and widows.
Rejoice, Thou Who opens the doors of Paradise.

A college economics professor stated that he had once failed an entire class. That class insisted that socialism is functional and that no one should be poor and no one rich, that everyone is equal...

The teacher told them, "OK, we will do an experiment on socialism in this group.

All grades will be averaged, and everyone will get the same grade, so no one will fail and no one will get a 10."

After the first test, the grades were added up and divided by the number of students, and everyone got an 8.

The students who studied intensively were upset, but those who studied less were overjoyed.

As the second test approached, the students who had studied a little learned even less, and those who had studied more intensively told themselves that they also wanted a "handout", so they also studied less.

The average of the second test was 6.

When the third test was given, the average score was 4. To the great surprise of all the students, they all failed.

The teacher told them that socialism will eventually fail because when half the population sees that they cannot work, because the other half will take care of them, and when the half that worked realizes that there is no point in working anymore, because others are the beneficiaries of their labor, then that is the end of any nation
The story may be a fable not a fact but the moral is real
Get it?

"When there is an argument, we always go out of our way to convince the other person that he is wrong. That is how the atmosphere becomes tense. The other person argues and will not accept our correction, and as for us, we are wasting our time and disturbing our inner peace for nothing. If we have discernment, we will know who it is who is really talking. We will know that it is not our "opponent" but the fallen spirit speaking through him. It is useless arguing with those who have been waging war against mankind for thousands of years and who are very agile and practiced in this warfare against people."

@MosabHasanYOSEF That does seem to be the pattern…

[Jonathan Kriebel/KrispyKris @krispykriskring]

@MosabHasanYOSEF @CAConservativeK It's the same wherever they go. Islam is not race, nor is it a religion, but an ideology and a fanatical death cult founded by a delusional deviant pedophile. It's incompatible with Western Culture and humanity and must be treated as a cancer that kills every society it infects.

[Father Christopher @FChristopher77]

"And He arose and rebuked the wind, and commanded the sea: ‘Peace! Be still!’ And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.”Mark 4:39

Peace of mind does not come except after the battle of the mind against evil thoughts, and only after calling upon the name of Jesus, He who has the power to rebuke and still the storm of thoughts.

Grant us Your peace, O Lover of mankind!

[Fr. Daniel☦️ @Fragbaza]

You are praying and God is silent. You ask for healing but you don’t receive it. What if I told you: God answers all the time; we just don't accept His answer.

First of all, we don't understand the meaning of prayer. We believe that prayer is just a request. We come only to ask for something, but prayer is not just a request. Prayer is love; it is communication with God. Just as a child has common interests, joys, sorrows, and failures that he shares with his parents, so our relationship with God should be built not on the fulfillment of our requests, but on love.

Secondly, God answers our prayers not with words, but with thoughts. You are waiting for a miracle, and He gives you patience. You are waiting for healing, and He gives you humility. You are waiting for protection, and He gives you the courage to go through tests or even the loss of loved ones.

Thirdly, God hears all prayers, but He especially accepts those in which one stands firm, giving up distractions, vanity, self-will, anger, fear, and even indignation against God. It is such prayer—the prayer of faith—that nurtures us for eternal life.

And most importantly, praying only for yourself, for your own comfort, is an imperfect prayer. It is like a request from a child who only wants toys from their father but does not want to spend time with him. God, of course, hears such prayers, but real, mature prayer is aimed at caring for others, not only family and friends, but even enemies. Christ Himself said: "For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have?" (Matt. 5:46). It is for such a pure, selfless prayer that God gives His heavenly reward.
Amen.

Today, July 7 – Feast of Saint Kiriaki the Great Martyr!

A radiant young woman from Nicomedia who chose Christ as her only Bridegroom. Born on Sunday (her name means “of the Lord”), she rejected every earthly proposal and lived in purity and prayer.

Under Emperor Diocletian’s savage persecution, she was brutally tortured and thrown into a raging fire. She prayed with arms outstretched… and the flames did not touch her! An angel healed her wounds, and her courage led many pagans to Christ. At just 21, she was beheaded for her faith.

Her left hand – a precious relic – has been venerated since 1787 in the Episcopal Cathedral of Huși, Romania, brought from Mount Athos by Bishop Iacob Stamati. To this day, it spreads a sweet heavenly fragrance every single day – a living sign of her intercession!

A powerful reminder that the saints are alive and close to us!

Saint Kiriaki pray to God for us!
