God tests us

From what I am sensing, God could be testing our faith more and more. After Turkey back stabbed Russia just days ago, it seems more people become ignorant from seeing what is happening.

Before I make my own, I want my viewers to read and understand this from the article http://www.pravoslavie.ru/english/88169.htm:

“Events will start that will culminate with us taking back Constantinople. Constantinople will be given to us. There will be war between Russia and Turkey. In the beginning the Turks will believe they are winning, but this will lead to their destruction. The Russians, eventually, will win and take over Constantinople. After that it will be ours. They will be forced to give it to us.”

The text reads further, “(The Turks) will be destroyed. They will be eradicated because they are a nation that was built without God’s blessing. One third of the Turks will go back to where they came from, the depths of Turkey. One third will be saved because they will become Christians, and the other third will be killed in this war.” This is based on the Saint Kosmas prophecy.

“Turkey will be dissected. This will be to our benefit as a nation. This way our villages will be liberated, our enslaved homelands. Constantinople will be liberated, will become Greek again. Hagia Sophia will open again,” the text reads.
“Turkey will be dissected in 3 or 4 parts. The countdown has begun. We will take the lands that belong to us, the Armenians will take theirs and the Kurds their own. The Kurdish issue is at the works,” the text continues.
Paisios wrote further: “As long as there is faith and hope in God, a lot of people will rejoice. All that will happen in these years. The time has come.”

Ok, this might scare other people who are obsessed with the ''end of times'' mentality or those who lack faith just because they don't have money or they had a part of their life something bad because of any circumstances but my message to everyone is, no matter what happens if we lose anything(loved ones or jobs), we shall never lose our faith. Losing our faith means losing everything.

People these days tend to party without ceasing or wasting their money to people they think are useful but they are being double-crossed all the time. Instead of going to confession on a regular basis, they do it when there is special occasions out of shame when saying their sins to a priest.

Why would people be ashamed of their sins? Because the priest is just human? I will say NO! The priest is God's ears and on a church, God is waiting for our heartfelt confession because he gave us the loop whole of salvation and the union with all the saints. We shall not lose our faith more and more as the news says or the temptations made by Satan against us.

Let's be brave regardless of what's happening in our current world now and enrich our faith by heart and works.

Turkey the backstabber

What Turkey did is being the backstabber that it is. Hope people are aware now that Turkey is one of the main accomplices of ISIS. It's not anymore safe we ignore the threat of a world war because we are like 90% near to it and it's an attack to Russia. 

“This incident stands out against the usual fight against terrorism. Our troops are fighting heroically against terrorists, risking their lives. But the loss we suffered today came from a stab in the back delivered by accomplices of the terrorists,” Putin said.

Russia has for a long time been aware of oil going from Syria under the control of terrorists to Turkey, Putin said. The money finances terrorist groups.

“IS has big money, hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars, from selling oil. In addition they are protected by the military of an entire nation. One can understand why they are acting so boldly and blatantly. Why they kill people in such atrocious ways. Why they commit terrorist acts across the world, including in the heart of Europe,” the Russian leader said.

About Turkey's betrayal as a strategic ally, Putin mentioned:

“We have always treated Turkey as not only a close neighbor, but also as a friendly nation,” he said. “I don’t know who has an interest in what happened today, but we certainly don’t.”

Certainly, all we can do now is to pray no war will happen because It's going to be all in one assault since Turkey has Americans, French, British, Saudi, Qatari and Islamic terrorist friends while Russia could not even be sided with China since it can betray it's ally.

It's my life and my choice

It's been a November for me. I don't intend to make others these or that. When people ask me about my choices, of course, i told them it's my choice, what I like and how God wants me to start. Yet, I have a long way to go since I am just 23. Got kicked out twice, got to live hard and pay debts as soon as possible. It's been a roller coaster 2015 for me but there is one thing I am thankful of. My conversion to Orthodoxy.

When people ask me why I converted, I reasoned out:

1. I feel Orthodox Christianity is the Christian faith I can find my inner Christian life.
2. It is more serious when it comes to faith matters.
3. I can feel how the true church is made since the apostles' times and the ensuing 7 Ecumenical councils.

 I didn't mentioned out what's with the Roman Catholic church since I feel it's unreasonable to mention it. But when people ask me about Roman rite church, all I say is it's deviating away from Christianity to liberalized reformed church and I see how it's own rules are not being practiced by their leaders.

No one forced me to do this things. I researched it myself, read books and searched for it. If dad would debate me, I won't even try to debate it since there is one Christianity and it upholds the Seven ecumenical councils that are the basis of God's faith that is passed down to the apostles and continuing to the church leaders of each independent but equal and connected Orthodox churches.

Orthodoxy is not just a word. It's a life. I may not force people but only God can make things possible through readings, history books and even your own family.

My First Experience as an altar server

First and foremost, I wished to serve in the altar when my services are needed. With that said, I just follow the people's word these and that. It went smoothly, thankfully. Waking up early and going there early is also hectic but when you think of God's power, nothing is impossible.

The funny thing on being an altar server is that I requested for an L size vestment and I almost slipped a lot of times but thankfully, I didn't fall. Next time, I will use M sized because I am getting thinner since I am on a diet regimen. Practice makes perfect though. I managed to nail almost everything except for some but I can get used to it as time passes.

It could have been God's blessing since these are the things I am expecting to contribute to the church. It's an honor as well since God sees my struggles and it's obvious no matter how many criticisms I get from my parents, who obviously vehemently oppose my conversion and to colleagues who will lay out simple yet innocent criticisms since of course, we need to tell them what it is really and it is unlike on the other side.

Hopefully, I can be a regular altar server and my faith in God is enriched through these simple but things I can participate along with other people who go to church and with all the saints, in communion with God's true church.

Better to Struggle than to be LAZY

It's a long way for me though. Have a lot of issues. But while I am doing this article, I suddenly smiled. Why? Bad things will come and much challenging things but with all those, I know I can break through everything that God gives me. It's somehow what I like to do.

It's my talent to write things about politics, my beliefs, my homeland or other countries or about my experiences with other people. Of course, we don't get medals or money for writing articles but I love this. This is where my struggles are shown whether directly or indirectly. It's more than what I can become but have to do it slowly but surely. There is no shortcuts in life of course. Life is not something we can be a winner by just winning the lottery.

Only God can judge me and he can see it through my faith, how I avoid or lessen my mistakes and he can see my motivation. That's why it's better I am going through this than to be on a home that is like a prison cell and where I can't evolve myself.

Will I become a Bachelor Forever?

The things I can be successful is my spiritual life, writing things on this blog about my crusade against political correctness, cooking dishes, learning how to earn and everything. But there is something I could end up and it is one of the things I am scared: being single forever.

The reason why I am scared is, I don't have someone to pass my genes and a partner in life I can be with. That's haunting me despite my hopes for the better future.

After being kicked out, losing my baby, being swindled and everything, I change. I did. Bad things can change a person either for good or bad. That's life. The thing is, would not expecting in return be the best way that my perfect match will come to me? I am scared these days that I don't have someone to depend and love to. It's something that kills me despite my continuing spiritual advance and my fight for the future.

Political Correctness will hurt us

Being political correct will hurt each and every government in the world. Too much progressive liberalism and hatred for conservative dictatorships will turn the world into a battlefield we can't reverse. Why can't most people view that too much liberalism will cause their governments to collapse? It's too frightening what Francois Hollande did. He not just attacked Syria but he allowed ISIS and FSA mercenaries into French territory and I am not surprised these things happened.

But I am surprised most people never knew the French government had faults for attacking the wrong country and opening it's borders to terrorists posing as refugees. Let's admit it! If we don't profile people coming to Europe from war-torn countries, we can never sort who are true refugees and true terrorists!

About those innocent lives, I stand with them. But not to their freak government that supported the wrong guys! I tell you! Hollande supported the wrong guys!

I want to ask a progressive liberal idiot about this:

What do you think supporting the moderate rebels do and bombing the territory that is being held by the Syrian Arab Army will do? Good? I will say NO! Of course No! because once you bomb a secular government and replace it with fanatical friendly government will crush world peace into world pieces! Bombing Assad's Syria is the wrong thing!

About David Cameron, he should change his mind or his country will be the next. So does Angela Merkel! But Barack Hussein Obama will continue to make sure every secular dictatorships will fall down in favor of progressive liberals or Islamic fanatical groups willing to carry his evil plans.
