      I love this idea, but the poor man would not get through the first five chapters of Genesis before expounding at length on all of it to us.
      Reminds me of those commentaries on the Bible that fill tens of volumes.

I'm not perfect but everyday I try my best to resist temptation and pursue God and wisdom. His Grace frees me to continue seeking and loving Him. Stand firm in Christ and remember that He loves you and He wants to help you in every dynamic and aspect of your life. God bless you ❤️🙏

      They that wait expectant upon YHVH shall renew their strength,they shall ascend up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not shall they be tired, they shall go and not they shall faint. Isaiah 40:31 It's about copying heaven on earth, of course by His Spirit, for a long period of time so that we may ascend into His Throne Room of Heaven. It helps to have people praise YaH (Hallelu YaH) until the Glory of His Presence literally appears in varying strengths.

    How do we Purify the Heart?
    God gives a small glimpse
    Pascha
    Nativity
    All the other feasts
    We are granted a small taste of that great joy of The Eternal Feast of God’s Kingdom.
    A small taste of what is to come.
    Fasting.
    The road of struggle
    The road of purification
    In order to reach The Great Feasts.
    As we struggle towards God’s Kingdom.
    *We can’t claim to be Christian unless we accept this need to be purified*
    2:02 The Church Fathers teach us the foundation is Humility: to be purified, we must be humbled.
    Every Prideful man is unclean before God.
    Pride is a spiritual disease.
    Humility allows us to be purified by God’s Grace
    Christ is the major example of Humility.
    + Becoming Poor
    + Suffering Insults
    3:12 Pride is a difficult passion to heal.
    3:20 Elder Ephraim says
    “the mind is easily polluted but it is also easily cleansed…. But the heart is difficult to heal.”
    4:00 It brings us pain to be healed of these passions.
    Powerful medicines in order to purify us.
    5:27 “and he will humble us beyond our choice.”
    5:34 Self Examination is so important
    When someone criticizes us
    - do we resent?
    - do we hold grudge?
    - do we get angry?
    + Do we be at peace
    6:27 It is a painful process, particularly at first.
    6:45 Pride lurks beneath so much of what we do.
    We must accuse ourselves
    Let us reproach ourselves more forcefully than anybody
    Offer and seek forgiveness
    Offer forgiveness
    7:20 Elder Ephraim
    The Meek enter The Kingdom
    8:18 Judgement Day shows us how deeply we have been wounded by pride.
    8:30 Repent now, before Judgement comes.
    Our heart clings to our sin, our pride.
    Worldly voices say “stand up and speak our. Defend yourself. Protect yourself. React. Demand that we are not at fault.”
    But these wound us, keep us from entering paradise.
    Don’t listen to voices of the world demanding pride from us.
    10:00 Jesus Prayer 🙏🏼 be continually on our lips
    10:23 Seek, Accept, God’s Healing ❤️‍🩹 ☦️
    10:33 “ the only hope of salvation from the delusions in the heresies, the innovations on the traps of wicked people, and of the Devil is prayer, repentance and humility.” - St Joseph The Hesychast.

    Father, I have a story to share. I have recently been humbled by our Lord. Please read. I am a man who lives in Istanbul (Constantinople). I have in recent years been convinced of the truth in our Lord Jesus Christ and became a Christian. I have lived many supernatural events since. Some so out of the ordinary, I felt I was getting proud. I was praying for the hurrying of the judgment on the world so that it can be the world of our Lord. A few days ago, I prayed to the Father to show me the truth about myself and take wickedness away from me. A few days later I believe he did. As I walked across Hagia Sophia in Kadikoy (translates the Judge’s Village) coast, after sunset, all of a sudden, as I was surrounded by some kids who were wearing jackets with satanic emblems, my heart spasmed in and out, I grabbed my heart, I felt my soul rushing to my feet being drawn to the ground as if about to go to hell. I felt the pride in asking for judgment on others. I felt I was their murderer. I felt to do was to make myself equal to the Lord. Meanwhile, I was looking more and more like a demon. My hands were blackish red. A woman saw me and began to cry. I felt that. My heart was about to stop. I got really really slow. It was just a moment before I faced my judgment. Dear priest, I cannot explain to you the regret and the fear. I immediately began to pray and repent and to live as a servant and a saint. My heart was in that state until I got home and until the morning. During which time I prayed incessantly to be let live. My Lord let me live. He showed me the Truth about me, he showed me his mercy. He showed the importance of humility in this one event. From now on, I will live according to his commandments, never calling for judgment on others no matter how they are bad. If we want to be just: we ought to be compassionate and merciful to one another. It is not for a sinner to call for judgment on other sinners. I pray to our God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit to keep me humbled at all times and to save from their judgment, Amen. I pray the same for all people and even my worst enemies, Amen.
