☦ When my heart is overwhelmed, lead me to the rock that is higher than I. (Psalm 61:2) ☦

[Angelina Serbska ☦️ @Angelina_Lina8]

To everyone who says, 'I don't go to church, but I believe in my heart' - try eating, drinking, or getting married only in your mind. If you 'marry' a girl in your head, does that make it real? Try asking your boss to pay your salary in your mind, too... Having faith only 'in your soul' is just an excuse for having no faith at all.

Another eastern orthodox quote of the day ☦️

[Shahriq Khan @RealShahriqKhan]

“If Jesus was God, why did He cry?”

When I was Muslim, I used to smirk at the shortest verse in the Bible. A crying God? Weak.

“Jesus wept.” John 11:35. Two words. It should bring you to your knees.

Then I actually read WHERE He’s standing.

At the tomb of His friend Lazarus. And here’s the part that undoes me: He’s about to raise him. In sixty seconds He’ll shout that dead man back to life. The victory is already loaded.

And He weeps ANYWAY.

He didn’t have to. The happy ending was already in His hand.

But He looked at the grief around Him — the sisters, the mourners, the sheer wreckage that death makes of everything — and He entered it. He let it hit Him. God, with tears running down His face, at the graveside of someone He loved.

The God of Islam was too majestic to weep. I was proud of that. Until I met a God who was strong enough to.

“We do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses.” Hebrews 4:15.

Whatever you’re burying right now — He’s not watching from a safe distance.

He’s the God who weeps at gravesides.

And then empties them.

Now you and me get to rejoice forever with our Lord Jesus Christ.

More honorable than the Cherubim, and beyond compare more glorious than the Seraphim 🪽

So much like what Blessed Father Roman Braga said.

Saw fireworks light a car on fire last night. Then, woke up and went to church. The difference between the city and the monastery is amazing lol.

[Nick Hinton @NickHintonn]

If u can’t discern what’s real or true, there’s no way to truly live. They don’t care what u believe as long as ur endless searching and spiritually dead. They have to convince you there is no Truth, because the Truth, the Way, and the Life is the only thing they can’t control.

[Nick Hinton @NickHintonn]

The occultists tell us what happens below is a reflection of what’s happening above. And the Bible tells us to pray for God’s will to be done on earth as it is in heaven. So, events in the material realm are entangled with events in the spiritual realm. And the points they overlap are called symbols. Therefore, reality is symbolic.

This is why Christians use symbols like the Eucharist to commune with God. The bread and the wine are literally entangled with the Body and Blood of Christ across time and space. However, this is also why occultists use symbols, especially in their rituals that open portals.

But what people don’t realize is that most of the time, these portals are opened invisibly, in the astral realm. The effects are real, but subtle. And this is why psyops are actually a form of magic. They tell us what they are doing symbolically, in the astral realm, but we take them literally.

Then, we look crazy and discredit ourselves. CERN probably isn’t opening actual black holes. But it’s definitely doing something. Similarly, the vaccines probably didn’t have actual alien parasites in them. But they definitely had spiritually parasitic effects.

All of these things are actually stages of initiation that alchemically transform the way we think, which, in turn, transforms the collective unconscious, the psychic landscape of humanity that keeps the objective world tethered together. In short, the elite believe they can destroy objectivity and rewrite the laws of physics.

This is how the abyss is really opened. This is the whole point of siphoning people off into different schizophrenic echo chambers. We are being pushed through a prism. We are already somewhere over the rainbow. The internet is the Looking Glass. Nevertheless, the point is, everything is fake. But everything is also real.

Yet, the only way to discern this is to be grounded in the eternal and unchanging Truth. Without a firm foundation, our perspective is always shaky and shifty. But if we stand on the unmovable Rock, high above the noise, we’ll know there is nothing new under the sun.

We’ll clearly recognize another Tower of Babel when we see one. And we’ll remember what happened to the last people who believed they could achieve whatever dream their evil hearts imagined. Then, we’ll have peace! The psyops won’t shake us. We’ll see right through all the smoke and mirrors and fix our gaze on eternity.

A priest once told me beauty is only skin deep. But being ugly is to da bone!

[Nick Hinton @NickHintonn]

This is also false. Earth is exile from Paradise. It’s a fallen but sacred space where humanity is given time to repent and restore creation to its former glory in the process. In this process, humanity also acts as priests in a cosmic temple called the Body of Christ.

[Nick Hinton @NickHintonn]

The easiest way to attract Grace is to practice divine justice. Human justice is an eye for an eye. But divine justice is mercy. It takes the blame for the faults of others. When we do this, God rewards us with heavenly treasures, like passionlessness, peace & spiritual strength.

[Nick Hinton @NickHintonn]

If you are already orthodox, ignore me. I can literally feel the peace leave my body when I write about conspiracy theories. But I am trying to scare the living shit out of gnostics 🙏🏻

[Nick Hinton @NickHintonn]

I love the prophet Daniel because even the philosophers considered him wise. And even though he was learned in astrology and all the Babylonian mysteries, he still chose to worship the God who created the stars, to the point of being thrown in a lion den!

[Nick Hinton @NickHintonn]

Psyops existed in biblical times! One of my favorite examples of this is found in the apocryphal book Bel and the Dragon. It describes how pagan priests tricked people into worshiping their idol because it seemed to eat all their offerings each night. But Daniel proved them wrong by sprinkling ashes on the ground and showing the people the foot prints the priests left behind when they secretly took all the food every evening.

[Unseen.Warfare @Unseen_Warfare1]

Ignorant satanic nonsense. Christianity and Marxism are antithetical to one another. You can’t blend them.

“That Which is known as the Christian religion existed among the ancients, and never did not exist.”— St. Augustine

True Christianity isn’t just an idea that people came up with. That narrative is absurd. It’s God revealed truth. A concept you nihilistic humanist can’t comprehend because you depend solely on your fallen human logic. What’s the most absurd thing of it all is you attack a false narrative you create in your own heads of what Christianity is because you can’t meet the tradition on the metaphysical ground it stands on. You’d think if it was “just made up” or came from Platonism as you prideful morons say you’d be able to refute it without having to attack lies you make up about it usually on the spot. You have no concept of context and care nothing about truth because you’re liars like your father the devil that you worship.

[Orthodox Ethos @OrthodoxEthos]

“Salvation is communal: it is not individual. ... We come into the Church not as isolated individuals: we come with our families, with our nation, with our culture. Sanctify and transfigure your culture! There are many good things in this country.”

—Fr. Roman Braga (1922-2015)

[vlad ☦︎ @vladorthodoxy]

The best place to be this Sunday is in the presence of Christ in the Orthodox Church.

Come and stand before the Lord today. ☦️📿

[Nick Hinton @NickHintonn]

One of the problems with Gnosticism is that it denies the sanctity of anything physical. God called nature good. The fallen way we use it is what’s evil. Even the human body is a sacred temple. We aren’t just souls waiting to escape a meat suit. We are made of matter AND spirit.
