I tell you:
you have to be able to die, because you have to
you will be resurrected daily.
Because life is constantly dying,
defending the Truth.
We do not protect the beautiful Easter cake.
We defend the Truth, which is the Church, the Eternity, the Creator, the Holy Trinity - Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We defend the Truth!
Truth is the only thing that brings peace.
If you do not stand in the Truth, then you do not abide in God.
And there is only one Truth:
I am the Way, the Truth and the Life, John. 14: 6.
What can we shorten from the Truth ?!
God wants peace more than anyone, but not with the devil.
What do Truth and Lie have in common ?! What should we do then?
TO DIE for the Truth, this is what we must do.
This question cannot be asked otherwise.
We defend the Truth, no matter what happens.
People are afraid that defending Orthodoxy may cause problems for them: to be fired, to be considered eccentrics. They are afraid that they will lose their jobs.
How to act?
How to overcome this fear?
My dear ones, I told you:
for the Truth one must also die, not just lose one's job.
If it is not about the Truth, but about some other problem, then he is fighting for his place.
However, if it is a matter of betrayal of the Truth, never agree, because a black eternity awaits you, a terrible eternity, because you had the opportunity to be at the head of a bright eternity, but you refused. This is not a game!
Our earthly life is only a pledge for another life.
I repeat: move from death to life. Only then does real life begin. Do you understand? You know what joy overwhelms the soul when it defends the Truth. Compared to other joys, such as success in the job or salary increase ...
It is such a joy that revives, that gives a feeling of Resurrection!
Those who defend Orthodoxy are condemned as fundamentalists, they are told: "You are an extremist, you are proud!"
My dear ones, this is not pride, but even if it was pride, it is accepted by Christ. The apostles have defended the Truth, and we are proud to defend the Truth.
Regardless of the way of expression.
The truth can protect anyone.
Because, where the Truth is, there is the Church. It's not where there's noise, a crowd where they say, "Let's make up."
The Orthodox Church has not made a single mistake in its mystical manifestation to say, "Let's be reconciled, you and I have sinned!"
If you die, it is happiness, because you pass from life to death as a confessor, not as a loafer or a coward.
For the Truth we must be able to die.
Not to expect that God in visible form will allow you to win every situation. The Kingdom of Heaven is silent. It leaves you to defend the Truth, but it helps invisibly.
The secret forces are not known to humans, they are unknown even to ourselves.
But I repeat, I repeat again: this joy is so special, peaceful, heavenly, eternal ... My dear ones, such a small job to die for the Truth, which Truth is held by the whole Church.
So, let us not allow at the end of the times, when the port is already visible, to lose Orthodoxy, to lose faith. It is a great shame to show cowardice out of fear!
My dear ones, dear in the eyes of the Lord is the death of His saints, Ps.115: 6.
You defend the Truth, you do not know what will happen, but the Truth must be defended in every way.
And do not give up, God gives grace not to the cowards, but to the heroes!
Keep this confession, because this life is no more precious. Don't you see how they ask the question?
"Listen, I can kill you or fire you!" "Cast me out, because it was not I, but you who came out of heaven like a fool!" You defended the Truth, not the boar or the deer from the barrel of the weapon, you defended the Heavens, the Lord of Heaven.
My dears, do you want to be happy?
Die for the Truth!
