We do have holy men in the Genuine Orthodox Church, at least in the Church to which I belong. My priest-confessor is also a man of God.
For instance, we have neighbors who are World War II Nazis and who were part of Operation Paperclip. (Go ahead and google Operation Paperclip.) These old people are full of hatred and into New Age, seances, and witchcraft. I
Whenever strange things occur, I will call my priest and tell him of these things, and immediately, he will say a prayer of deliverance that my husband and I will be protected from the Evil Eye and the demons that they are summoning. That prayer will be very effective. My confessor can tell when these Nazis are having seances without me even telling him. The Holy Spirit is working through him.
St. Matthew the New Confessor of Greece who guided the Genuine Church of Greece through its formative years has worked so many miracles in my own life. He has healed my husband and me many times ... healing our pneumonia, H flu infections, asthma, etc.
And lately, it seems like the Holy Spirit and my guardian angel are carefully guiding me. It is like a small still voice and I can only hear it when I am quiet, still, repentant, and prayerful.
For example, and I am not a saint, I will be walking outside, and feel a nudge to walk to the left or to the right, so I do, but if I had not moved, then I would have tripped and fallen over a log or a rock.
So, yes, God is present in our lives, if only we would take the time to look, to hear, to open our eyes.
