Amen,
“Dynamis!”and His Dynamis! AMEN
Amen, for All not some praise HIM Be still, and know that I am God. - Psalm 46:10 THE SOUL
How your Soul Differs from that of an Animal
The Orthodox Church teaches that animals have souls, although not the same as ours. When conceived, God bestows upon us the nous, which distinguishes us from the other animals. It is the nous that is the eye of the soul, intelligent and noetic, and by nature designed to commune with God. The nous is the center of man and is where true (spiritual) knowledge is validated.
"God will often begin to shift something in you before He shifts things around you. Don't fear what you feel. Trust the one orchestrating it!" people and exclaims “Dynamis!” which is commonly translated “with strength”. The celebrant raises his voice and intones this command, thus telling all who are singing that this is the time in the liturgy when our voices should be raised the loudest, because this is the time the Church proclaims the nature of our Triune God.
This one word encourages us to chant the last repetition of the Trisagion Hymn with even greater conviction and reminds us to lift up our heart and mind to focus on the Divine.
