A little Thankgiving prayer for all my brothers and sisters in Christ! I'm so grateful for my family, my health, my ministry, and the realization that none of this is really mine, it all belongs to God! As it could all be taken in the blink of an eye. All glory be to Jesus Christ!
Wishing you all blessed day with your families. Also blessings to all the people without families suffering during these times, we see you and honor you as well. Prayers of healing for all the people hurting right now.
In Christ 🙏☦️🦃

Did we just witness the final episode of The Royal Path? Quite possibly so. What an absolute journey it's been following this project over the last 3 years. It's been one of the most challenging podcasts for me in terms of deep self-examination, and for that, I'm extremely grateful. The last three episodes in particular have been some of the absolute best in the whole series. I even found myself saying after the "Wise as Serpents" episode, "Man they hit the target so spot on I'm not sure what else there is to be said here."
In the final episode, Fr. Turbo gives an analogy of the priest guarding the Eucharist at certain times and how this is done not to protect Christ from us but to protect us from Christ. Sometimes, we're not ready to be waken abruptly from our walking daze and how it can even be harmful to awaken too quickly from such a state of being. Yet at the end he leaves us with an ominous but fitting...
Awaken oh sleeper 😴

It's funny man. People of the world are starting to notice that something is up with the whole USA painting Russia as the enemy thing (a little late but it's better than nothing) but they can't figure out why it's happening due to the fact that they're looking at it from a completely secular surface level perspective. They don't understand that the entire Russia/Ukraine fiasco is a spiritual war on Holy Orthodoxy, the last bastion of truth. Orthodoxy is completely embedded in the Russian culture and in everything they do. It is the national religion and has been since AD 988, almost 1,000 years! That's a lot of history. In the 10th century Prince Vladimir I was converted by Greek Orthodox Christian missionaries from Byzantium. He had sent out emissaries to learn about all the world religions and ended up going with Orthodox Christianity. This is how the Christianization of Russia began.
There's power in being willing to die for what you believe in and Holy Orthodoxy has some of the most courageous martyrs that the world has ever known. Not only that but there is a spiritual reality to everything that is occurring right now. You just need the proper lense to look through to see it. That lense is Holy Orthodoxy. It literally puts it all into proper perspective. It's the only thing that makes sense at this point. Everything else has gone mad. Another aspect of Orthodoxy that gives it strength in these times is the fact that it is decentralized. Meaning it does not have any central authority such as the papacy in roman catholicism. Which makes it easier to protect itself from demonic corruption. Just look at what has occurred with Pope Francis in the last few years with the roman catholic church. It's absolutely insane! But while the world is drowning in madness, the Church acts as ark of God's people. Keeping them and guiding them in His divine wisdom and grace.

How are you supposed to be prepared to die for what you believe in when you're censoring yourself over youtube guidelines?
You can't say Jew or zionist, but you think you'll be able to stand before the enemies of God when your life is on the line and proclaim your faith in Christ and Holy Orthodoxy? But you can't even say the name of Christ's enemies on the internet because your channel might get a strike? How does that work? I think about these things to try and keep my priorities in check. How would I act, truly how would I act if I had a gun to mine and my loved ones head telling me to deny the Faith. This is a powerful idea to internalize and pray about. How would we act in the face of certain death? A lot of us found out just 4 years ago. And guess what that wasn't even certain death. It was just a scam, and most caved instantly and fell for it. People keep making these small little compromises daily not knowing every time they do this it's planting seeds of doubt and hesitation in their subconscious mind that will come to fruition in later times.
Would you truly die for Christ, the same way He died for you?

So the godlessness of the Jews and the pagans is on a par. But the Jews practice a deceit which is much more dangerous. In their synagogue stands an invisible altar of deceit on which they sacrifice not sheep and not calves but the souls of men.

Little late-night writing session:
I live in the moment, perpetually fixing the broken,
Am i drowning or drifting in the ocean?
Shout out to the homies for the gifts we have spoken,
Hey Ponyboy, stay golden,
I get you open, like a Buckshot or pseudotropine,
A lot of these cats are pseudo-psychedelic shaman masters,
Gurus in their own mind spouting "no gods, no masters,"
How do people end up like this? Well there's a lot of factors,
1.) Pride - ego-tripping will leave people slipping from a place above the clouds to a place beneath the demons kitchen
2.) Greed - the love of money is the root of all evil. Pride is the door, but greed is the peephole
3.) Lust - the inversion of love, healed solely by the grace from above, in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, like a gift from a dove
4.) Envy - thou shalt not covet thy neighbor, the Son is thy Savior, the One Who exuded the uncreated light of Tabor
5.) Gluttony - the body is the temple of God, we honor it as such with holy reverence like an Old-Testament priest with an ephod
6.) Wrath - is the path that we choose when we forget how to win when we lose
7.) Sloth - slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer like a hungry ghost in the deep
7 deadly sins to seperate man from his Creator,
On the other side are 7 virtues that act as a demon slayer ⚔️☦️⚔️
