Fasting As Your Weapon | Father Turbo's Mt Tabor School Homily

Why does the Church call us to fast every Wednesday and Friday? In this compelling homily, Father Turbo unpacks the spiritual weapon of fasting and why the devil cannot harm those who humble themselves before God. Drawing from Christ's temptation in the wilderness, Father explains: ✝️ How fasting defeats pride: the devil's primary trap. ✝️ Why self-sufficiency is spiritual poison. ✝️ How saying "no" to appetites trains us to say "yes" to God. ✝️ Why even children can (and should) learn to fast. "When we fast, we pick up our cross. When we fast, we say NO to the devil. When we fast, we say YES to the Father." This isn't about religion. This is about resistance. This is about becoming untouchable to the enemy. ☦︎ Ephesians 3:8-21 ☦︎ Luke 4:1-15 IC XC « NI KA | ☦︎ꒌ 📍 St. Mary of Egypt Orthodox Church | October 1, 2025 #OrthodoxSermon #jonahandthewhale #Liturgy #FatherTurbo #fatherturbo Donations: https://stmaryofegypt.net/give/ Convent of the Mother of God, Seeker of the Lost: http://www.ourladyofthelost.org/    / @ourladyofthelostkc   DAILY SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT PODCAST SERIES 1.
