1.7. The Fulfillment of the Law through Christ
When I came two thousand years ago from the Father on to the earth, the Holy Spirit, Who was a herald by the angels with His word, and He sown Me in the Virgin and I was born Man, and I was called the Son of Man, and I chose twelve men from the earth and made them My disciples by My great teaching of life upon them, and I put in them power from Me to follow Me and I helped them to believe in Me, doing before them healings over the sick people and resurrections over those who were dead and wonderful miracles and heavenly works, and then I announced upon them that the Scriptures had to be fulfilled over Me, those for which I had come from the Father on the earth, and then I let Myself given as a sacrifice and I appeared as the sacrificed and bleeding Lamb through death on the cross to pay the man’s life and to take him out from satan’s arm, and then I came to life from the cross, overcoming by it the power of death, and I opened the eyes of My disciples, appearing to them resurrected and exhorting them to the joy of My resurrection. They were aggrieved then in their little hearts and full of fear and they looked at Me with awe and pain and were perplexed and felt guilty that they were not on My side in My hard pain, but I had among them the one full of longing and faith and of holy pathos, and that one proved them that I was the crucified One and the One Who was resurrected from crucifixion, for he asked Me to show him the marks of My nails and the thrust from My rib, and I showed them and Thomas confessed Me, full of longing and holy mystery, and he said: «Oh, my Lord and my God!» (John 20:28).
excerpt from The Word of God on the second Sunday after Passover, of the Saint apostle Thomas of April 15, 2007
Oh, My heavy cross, My people of today, was the man’s unbelief. I came from the Father to search out the people to whom God gave His promises, but that people was not faithful to God and to My sending to it from the Father as it was prophesied, and He treated Me as a wrongdoer upon God and upon man, for the man in whom God does not live with His will, with His Spirit, is a proud man, who spoils his body in him, the dwelling place of My kingdom in man.
excerpt from The Word of God on the third Sunday of the Lent, of the Holy Cross of March 11, 2007
Oh, I chose My disciples with great care and I taught them with great power, and they were not deceptive and believed in Me, understood Me and followed Me, My people. When they found from each other about Me, they were asking themselves and rejoicing, and they were confessing Me without deceit, without doubt, in My coming then from the Father on the earth, and they were calling Me Teacher, and I was also confessing and telling them: «Come, and you will see where My dwelling place is». And I was also telling to one them: «You are Simon and you will be called Cephas». Yet, to another one I was telling: «Come after Me!», and to the one who came to Me I said: «Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!». And then he confessed Me saying: «Rabbi, You are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel, the son of Joseph from Nazareth». And I sealed him and I told him: «Most assuredly, I tell you, hereafter you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man». (See John 1:42, 47, 49, 51) Amen.
Oh, I was teaching My disciples with such great love, the love without hypocrisy and with steadfast faith, and I was walking after them to choose them, and the angels were serving Me, as I told them, and then I turned the water into wine, to choose disciples and I chose them performing miracles before them, and when the one with no deceit came by night to confess his steadfast faith that I came from God as a Teacher on the earth, and that the miracles that I was doing were confessing Me as the Son of the Father, then I, the Lord, told him: «Most assuredly I tell you, unless one is born of water and spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God». (John 1:5), and I explained to him the mystery of the birth from above, for he had no deceit, although he was a teacher in Israel and he was a ruler among them, and then I told him again: «He who believes in Me is not judged, and he who does not believe has already been judged, for the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light, for their works were evil and they did not want them to be exposed», (See also John 3:18-20) and this is how I was able to tell him about My power from the Father over those that believe in Me without deceit, and then again, about My pain from the man, after the man, knowing Me and loving his own self more, then he denies Me.
excerpt from The Word of God at the feast of the Lord’s Baptism of January 19, 2007
Two thousand years ago, I came on the earth being born as a baby from the Virgin, and I did not do this until first I had announced Myself through the prophets, starting with Moses and then, on the day of My birth in Bethlehem, I announced Myself through the angels to the shepherds from the sheep, and then I appeared newly born to the three Magi that had come from far away and to whom I revealed by the star of My birth that I would come with heavenly glory on the earth, full of mysterious glory and that My birth would cause opposition among those who were the rulers of the time, who love glory from people, glory for which the man cannot love God, My people, but you should take a look to learn how to be God’s son, just as I am, for behold, the people on the earth did not know how to be pleased to God, and they do not know to love God’s glory; the people do not know this, My people.
Behold, I have come closer to those on the earth with a feast of birth. The glory of that day was sweet for those in heaven, for those in heaven had waited long for Me to become flesh on the earth and to write before the Father the man’s salvation, which was by that time and which was then, and then it is in every time.
Oh, how humble should the man be, My people! I was born of the Father before the eternity, and I was born by the Holy Spirit, Who spoke about My mother, the Virgin, that I would become flesh in her in the moment of the angel’s message, who brought the message to her that I would come as a child on the earth, a child born of her body to become the savior for each man who would receive Me from the Father to be his way and to be his salvation, and I came with a great humility on the earth after the man and I worked humbly the whole mystery of the man’s salvation who comes to be with God on the earth.
excerpt from The Word of God at the feast of the Lord’s Birth of January 7, 2007
I was born humble two thousand years ago and I found My first housing place in the manger of the oxen, but first I came down in the heart of My mother and of Joseph, and then, close to the day of My birth, I came down in the hearts of the shepherds from the sheep, to whom the angels told about My coming, and I also came down in the hearts of the three Magi who confessed to the world about My birth, after they had found out and seen Me born.
excerpt from The Word of God at the feast of the Lord’s Birth of January 7, 2007
Oh, Father, love is that which I showed it to the man when I was laid down on the cross with My body to save the man from his death by that time, Father. Oh, Father, I lay Myself down on the cross with the pain and its happiness for the man and the man nailed Me on to the wood of the cross, Father, and I stayed there patiently and I was submitted and obedient to the man’s will, to give Myself as an example of love before the nations all over the earth, Father. He who does not come with submission and obedience before You, that one is written with witchcraft, Father; however, I was patient, so that the devil might not write Me with those who were outside, Father, even if the man wrote Me down that way. When I sent My angel to John to testify about this two thousand years ago, I said: «Blessed are they that wash their robes that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter in by the gates into the citadel. Outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood». (Rev. 22:14, 15)
Oh, Father, woe to those who plot and love falsehood and who do not know its reward! However, I have loved You with the love of a son and not with the love of a servant, even if the people that was bearing the name of God on earth did not receive Me, at least as a servant sent by You. Oh, Father, the true loving son stays in his father’s will with his life and death, for it was because of the love for You that I let Myself into the man’s hand, Father, and there is no greater love than the love of the son among those who serve You, Father, for the son has got great and holy love, and he is thankful to his father, but the servant can betray him and he can deny his master. I was betrayed by My disciple, and by him I was given to be killed, because he, as a servant that he was, wanted glory for himself through Me, and such a servant can no longer be thankful to his master who is faithful to him. The faithfulness of the servant does not go before his master as that of the son, and happy are those who, by their not loving of themselves near God, become His vessels full of faithfulness to their blood, the same as I, Father, was faithful to You on the earth, from My birth to My death, then to My resurrection, and then to My reestablishing into those things that are not seen, near You, Father, covered by My angel without the flesh. Amen.
excerpt from The Word of God at the synod of the saint archangels Michael and Gabriel of November 21, 2006
– Oh, Lord of those who are faithful, saints and confessors of Yours! Oh, Lord, we are within Your coming. Even now we are walking together with You, for we are Your disciples. The disciple does not walk without his teacher, nor in his way or in his work of a disciple, and blessed are those who become disciples on the earth for You, passing from body into spirit so that they may become Your work, Your comfort and the temple of the Holy Spirit, to be Yours, Lord, deprived of disciples. However, we became Yours on the earth and we comforted You, and You were comforted with us among those that were fleshly and earthly, when You were walking from place to place with us and Your power was withering as that of a God Who bears the men’s weaknesses, Lord. You were doing wonderfully among us working over those who were proud in their thought and were giving them Your voice with power as a God Who sees each and everything that belongs to men on the earth. Then we were learning the work of discipleship and You were telling us that those who would believe in You and in Your coming among people, then as now, would do greater miracles. You were so upset when You saw the men’s haughtiness, who did not know what God meant, for they mentioned God in vain from books. You were very, very much aggrieved because of the man’s haughtiness that could not grow less and humbled within his life. We were shining Your light and we were sorry for You because You had no fruit to gather from man, and You could hardly find someone humble in his spirit to give against his sins the light of Your teaching, with which You came from the heights of the Father to the people on the earth, Lord, full of mercy for the man, who has wondered away by himself among those have also wandered away like him. Oh, You have suffered from the man’s haughtiness; You suffer and suffer again, and the man cannot give You any comfort if he has got no humility in him. You have suffered Lord, because of the greatness in which the man settles alone with his mind and heart, and You have no room on the earth with the man, Lord, Who comes, always coming with Your saints. We were walking with You from place to place, but the people did not follow Your calling to become Your disciples. The one who does not become Your disciple, that one does not follow You, for those who follow You, have to be like You, to work like You, and then to confess through Your light in them and over them, as the Father was shining over You with His work and with its fulfillment.
excerpt from The Word of God at the feast of the saint apostles Peter and Paul of July 12, 2006
When I entered Jerusalem, with My gentle body riding on the colt of a donkey, those who were gathered together at the feast of the Palm Sunday blessed Me, as it was written to be fulfilled, but it was also those who sent Me then to sufferance and cursed Me to death on the cross, and by My death, I blessed them raising their guilt on My shoulders, the pain which they inflicted on Me.
excerpt from The Word of God at the feast of the Lord’s Entrance into Jerusalem of April 16, 2006
If those, who sang to Me Hosanna on the day of Palm Sunday, had been sweet smelling flowers, they would have not become thorns only after a couple of days to knit Me a crown of thorns. The thorns pierced My forehead and blood was shed out of My body; My blood also flew on the way to the cross and it also flew on the cross. Those who loved Me suffering deeply within themselves were not able to bring Me any comfort, when they were looking at My thorns on My forehead, and then at My body crucified by nails on the cross. However, I had mercy on those who had made My soul and My body bled, on those who inflicted sufferance on My gentle and humble Spirit. I had mercy on those who were guilty, on those who were hardened in their souls and in their deed, and for those who were suffering because My bleeding sufferings, I was grieving with the grief, which was after God, the grief that brings forth the grace of sufferance.
The sufferance of the day of feast of My entrance into Jerusalem as a blessed God was great, as it was written into the Scriptures to be that day. That day was the greatness of the sufferance before My cross made by man, for the branches and the praises had to become then thorns and curses through the same hands and mouths, which were carrying and blessing Me on the day of the Palm Sunday.
excerpt from The Word of God at the feast of the Lord’s Entrance into Jerusalem of April 16, 2006
Oh, how beautifully they loved Me, those who had cried for Me on the way of My sufferance, when the thorns were bleeding My forehead and when the spear of the soldier took away My power of life, so that I might get ready for My resurrection, and then with it to go and to give it to those who had been waiting for Me for five thousand years, for I had come down on the earth to bring the resurrection of the dead. Amen. Behold, now it will be as at that time, and those in the graves will testify about you, Jerusalem from today, as the saints, clothed in their bodies, confessed Me two thousand years ago, to leave on earth the proof of My divinity, (See Mat: 27/52, 53) that is God crucified by the man, and resurrected from crucifixion for the resurrection of those who are asleep. Amen.
excerpt from The Word of God at the feast of the Lord’s Entrance into Jerusalem of April 16, 2006
My mother, the Virgin, and My father Joseph took Me to the temple to dedicate Me to God, for My mother and My father was God, the Father, and they brought Me to Him forty days after they received Me to grow Me, after I was born of the Virgin on the earth. Simeon and Anna welcomed Me, for they had been waiting for Me, and I welcomed My Father, Who received Me from the arms of those who were carrying Me, and who prophesied carrying Me into their arms that I would be for the rising and for the falling of many, and that I would be the light for the revealing of the nations and to the glory of God’s people, and to be the salvation prepared to all the nations. Amen.
excerpt from The Word of God at the feast of the Lord’s Meeting of February 15, 2006
It is written that «the life is the light of the people, and the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it», (John 1:5) and after the resurrection I went up on the right side of My Father, I asked the Father and I said to Him: «Father, My disciples are in the world but they are not of the world. While I was with them in the world I kept them from My enemies and theirs. Father, keep them from now on, and make Our love perfect in them, and let they be one as We are one, Father». (See also John 17:12-26) Amen. This is how John, the Baptizer, worked, when he was finishing the work for which he had come on the earth, because John was born for the announcing of the righteous One and he announced Me baptizing Me in Jordan with water, and the Father baptized Me with the Holy Spirit, sending Him above Me in the image of a dove, and the Father spoke through the Holy Spirit: «This is My beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased». (Matt. 3:17) Amen. And John testified about Me that he had to grow less so that I might grow bigger, and he told those who were preaching about Me: «After me comes He Who is mightier than I, the thong of Whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and loosen and He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and fire, Whose fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly cleanse His threshing floor, and will gather the wheat into His barn, but the chaff will burn with unquenchable fire». (See Mark 1: 7, 8; Luke 3:16, 17)
Oh, My people, I have always wanted to speak about the spirit of confession and I have always wanted to exhort you. Moses’ Law and the prophets of the Scriptures and the Psalms confessed about Me that I would come. And here it is how I come. I will keep coming until I perfectly finish the work of «new heaven and new earth», as this Scripture has said.
excerpt from The Word of God at the synod of the Saint John, the Baptizer of January 20, 2006
Two thousand years ago, John confessed Me at Jordan, and he said: «Behold, the Lamb of God, Who takes away the sin of the world!» (John 1:29) Then he confessed that I would wash away with My blood, shed on the cross, the man’s sin and the eternal sufferance of his sins. He told the people to leave off sins, first by confessing them, for one confesses with his mouth and believes within his heart, and God shows His mercy to those who know how to get up from death.
excerpt from The Word of God at the synod of the Saint John, the Baptizer of January 20, 2006
I lay down as word on your table with Me to bring into memory My humility and My mother, the Virgin, for she took Me into her arms and carried Me, according to the tradition of Israel, to the Lord’s temple, to be circumcised within My body and that she may prove that I was the Son of the people of Israel into whose midst I had come from the Father and from the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin, as it was written into the prophets, and as I had to come.
After forty days, the old Simeon and Anna, the prophetess had waited for Me at the temple. Simeon took Me into his arms from the arms of My mother the Virgin, and he called Me the salvation of the Lord, made ready over the peoples and the light over the nations, to the announcing of the people of Israel in whose midst I sprang up, for the people of Israel was the Lord’s people on the earth because of his fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The old Simeon took Me into his arms, forty days after My birth, and he saw with his own eyes the Savior of the world and he confessed the fulfilling of the Scriptures of My coming by My mother, the Virgin, and Anna, the prophetess, announced by the spirit of the prophecy that I would come to be for the raising and the falling of many in Israel.
excerpt from The Word of God at the feast of the saint hierarch, Basil the Great of January 14, 2006
The martyr Stephen, consumed with the zeal for Me, the true God in heaven and on earth, humbled himself and lifted Me up before the haughty ones, who did not know to serve God according to the truth, and to whom I strongly stood against because of their haughtiness, and raising My disciples of My word that was upon the crowds that followed My teaching full of power, I overcame the haughtiness of those who ruled over the world into My name, and I confessed Myself as Lord and Master by the mouth of My disciples to whom I gave My Spirit of the rivers of living waters, sprung out of the river of life, after I gave them the grace and the gift of the holy life for the humility of their heart with which they embraced Me and then confessed Me. The martyr Stephen, by the miracle of this confession proved before those who were full of themselves his wisdom from the Scriptures for My coming down on earth to judge the world from the darkness calling it to light, I, Myself, incarnated in the Virgin and born among people, and then grown up to the perfect age, and then, My disciples, through whom I did great works with My Spirit, confessing through the Scriptures about the glory of the righteous One, judging the world by the word of their confession, for the world had already been judged when I came from the Father two thousand years ago, fulfilling all those that had been written about Me in the Moses’ Scriptures, in the prophets and in the Psalms.
excerpt from The Word of God at the feast of the saint martyr and archdeacon Stephen of January 9, 2006
Come, My sweet mother; it is My day and yours. In the day of My birth among the people I became your Son after the angel Gabriel had rejoiced you by giving you the news that you would give birth to a son and that I would be your Son. I was the Son of the Father Sabaoth, born of Him before eternity, and then the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, the Father’s being and Mine, dwelt in your virgin belly, and after the ordained time, I was born a child on earth, and since then the faithful people has been celebrating Us with songs of birth, mother, with the joy of their salvation, because I fulfilled then the redemption from the death of the man, by a death on the cross, the tribute paid to death to take the man out of eternal death, mother, and if the man wants to believe in Me, the perfect One, then let him no longer die, mother, for I spoke, and the man does not fulfill what I have said, and this is what I said: «He who believes in Me will never die». However, we lived in the spirit, soul and body all the sufferance of the fallen man, for We loved so much, mother, and within Our faultless faith we suffered on earth for the salvation of the man from the death, as it is for this that I had come down from heaven.
excerpt from The Word of God at the synod of the Lord’s Mother of January 8, 2006
I am the Word of the Father. Before the creation of man, I am the Word of the Father. I came on earth being born as a Man from a Virgin mother, and after thirty years from My birth, I chose, as it was written into the Book of My Life, and I chose My disciples, and then I chose the twelve disciples as disciples from among disciples, and I was the Lamb. And if I was the Lamb, what were they? They were the Lamb’s apostles, they were My little ones.
And why did My Father call Me Lamb? Why did John the Baptizer call Me saying: «Behold the Lamb of God!»? I was called so in heaven and on earth, because I am the Shepherd of the man. I am the Shepherd Lamb and I am the Lamb Shepherd, and I am the true One, and there is no other like Me in heaven and on earth, and the Father gave Me the name above any other name, because I give My life as life to the man, for I am the spring of life, and the man receives his soul from Me when he is born into the world. I gave Myself as life to the man, starting with the man built by My hand, for I breathed upon him from Me, and he became a living soul from dust, and he was made out of My breath, after I made his body.
After I made the heaven and the earth and then the man, I filled the sky with breath of life, and that is why the man receives this breath of life, when he is born, and behold, I am the One Who gives life to the man. No one besides Me made the spirit of life between heaven and earth, and that is why Paul, My apostle, said: «All live in Him».
excerpt from The Word of God at the feast of the saints apostles Peter and Paul of July 12, 2005
Oh, My people, what a wonder was two thousand years ago on the day of My entrance into Jerusalem on a colt of a donkey! The news had spread everywhere that I called Lazarus out of his tomb, who had been dead four days. The Father had prepared beforehand to do this miracle so that Jerusalem might confess Me as King of Israel and to be able to bring Me as a sacrifice and that the ruler of this world could bring Me as a sacrifice on the cross, but they were afraid of the resurrected Lazarus, lest the people might arise to believe in Me and that they might lose their priority and their dominion and their vain glory.
How beautifully those that were in Jerusalem welcomed Me! They took branches of trees and sang: «Hosanna!» and their spirit did not know what it was doing, for they fulfilled the prophecies about Me as they were ordered one by one to their fulfillment, for great is the truth about God, My people.
excerpt from The Word of God at the feast of the Lord’s Entrance into Jerusalem of April 24, 2005
My glory is dear, and it is as sweet as that one on the cross, for My love on the cross was sweet. No one has borne such a sweet love in his body, in his soul and in his spirit, as I had borne on the cross for the man to pay the life of the man by the sacrifice of My love on the cross. I was full of love on the cross. I was the One Who loved, as it never was and never is a greater love in heaven and on earth. My body did not suffer as much as My love suffered in the time of My cross. Those who sang to Me «Hosanna!» also cried out then to Pilate: «Crucify Him!» and I loved those who fulfilled the Scripture of My sacrifice and I asked My Father not to keep this into their account as sin because of what they did without knowing what they did. My love on the cross was sweet and painful, for love that has no pain has no power, and I loved those who brought Me pain, and the pain for them gave Me power for My sufferance from them, and then, for the love on the cross, at which Father looked and loved, because I listened to Him and I died for the man and I gave My live to the people.
excerpt from The Word of God at the feast of the Lord’s Entrance into Jerusalem of April 24, 2005
I come down as word on the earth. It is My coming down after two thousand years from My ascension near the Father, after I became Man born of the Virgin to grow and to be crucified by the man, and then by resurrection, to ascend to the Father again.
I have showed the man how I was crucified by man and how I hated no one because of My sufferance from the man, who has been unfaithful to My coming. I let Myself to be crucified by a fearful judgment by those who were great among people and then I was put to death on the cross, and on the cross I spoke within great sufferance, with great mercy for the man: «Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing!».
As a blessed one of My Father, I did good to all those who knew Me by My godly power and who asked Me to comfort their sufferance of any kind, and I healed and forgave them and I did not judge them, even if many of them despised Me with blasphemy and called Me a law and peace and tradition breaker, a friend of sinners, a friend of immoral people and of tax collectors. And I told them: «Don’t think that I came to destroy the law, but I came to fulfill it; and I did not come to judge the world but to save it». Amen.
I glorify Myself by the word over every man on earth, for when I come, I come for everybody, as I also wanted to do two thousand years ago. Then I said that the time was coming for the true worshipers to worship the Father in spirit and truth, as the Father does not want the man to worship God otherwise, or in a special place, that is here and there. And this word, which I spoke this way, judged them and judges the people of that time and up to this day, because the people did not fulfill it and do not fulfill it, but they only boast about being God’s true worshipers.
excerpt from The Word of God at the Sunday of the fearful judgment remembrance of March 6, 2005
My birth from the Virgin, the miracle by which, I, God, the Son, was born a child on the earth two thousand years ago, was the humility of the Father, a miracle that does not enter the man’s mind, for his mind is small in order to be able to humble himself when God speaks to him by miracles, and that is why God came on earth, was born and grew with a gentle character, both inside and outside of Him, covering His glory, for the man is small and is not born of the heaven in order to be able to perceive the heavenly things that have come on earth under the image of humility, covering their glory before man, for it is written: «The man cannot see God within all His glory and to remain alive». Under the way of My humility, the man could see Me for thirty three years on earth, and in whom I put the gift of the humility of spirit, those could see Me that I was God, the Son, the messenger of the Father sent after the man, and I fulfilled My work, for the man is the one who fulfills My works on the earth, and I cannot fulfill them without man, but I need a gentle and humble man in his heart, just as I am, because of the man if not so, he cannot believe in those that come from God among the people, which cover their glory in order that they may be able to come. Amen, amen, amen.
The memorial of My birth two thousand years ago would be to make the man even more humble, and to have more room within him for God, for I completely humbled Myself in order to be able to come down on earth, but if the man does not have any room in his heart for My humility, then he rejoices and exalts himself within him at the remembrance of God’s miracles and makes the days of My humility into his days of joy, for him, and not the days of the humility of spirit and of the fruit of holy faith, which is to bring forth in him the gift of the humility of spirit, which would teach him about this mystery, for great mystery is the gift of the humility of spirit, and the heavenly mysteries, which come on earth, for the man’s making does not enter into the man’s heart, because the man is not made and there is no one to make him after that.
excerpt from The Word of God at the feast of the first martyr and archdeacon, Stephen of January 9, 2005
The Scriptures, My people, envelop in the mystery of the their word all its accomplishments, for two thousand years ago, I was announced by the Father and then by My angel that I would come, and when I came, I fulfilled all the Scriptures about My coming as God of God and a perfect Man among men, and all this wonderful time of My Scriptures, of the heaven on earth and of its kingdom was covered in a great mystery and it was wonderfully fulfilled, and the people of that time on earth passed by the fulfillments of the Scriptures and it did not know their power and work on earth, and the man of that time went on minding only his own business, and the generation of the people of that time was like the multitude, which comes out from the seeing and from the hearing of those fulfillments, and then it comes back into her daily things. However, then I worked for all the ages who were before and after that and I have remained the true God in heaven and on earth and I have proved so by the fulfillment of the Scriptures spoken beforehand for My coming, through which I became man to suffer in the midst of the people, to be despised by them, and once with it to be known by many through their faith, and then by My works in their midst beyond nature, from My birth and to My ascension again in the Father. Amen.
All My life, all My way was only cross, My people, for it was for that that I became a man on earth from the Father by the Virgin, and I was the Son of the Father Sabaoth and I was under the cross on the earth.
excerpt from The Word of God at the Feast of the Ascension of the Holy Cross of September 27, 2004
I have loved the man very much. I have loved him most in My time under the cross, the one worked for Me from the man. I have loved the man and the love for him completely drained My power under the cross, for the man to see and to help Me, and then to teach him to come under My cross with his cross, with his life, with his walking, with his body under the cross. Simon of Cyrene came and carried My cross for the man to see that he can carry My cross for My love for him, the love which totally consumed My body, as the man should love God by making his body grow weak and be giving power to the love for Me in him, for the body of the man always lusts against the love for Me in man, as My love in man always forgets about man and it comes up from man only to Me, and it loves God in man with a great sufferance, filling him with the image of repentance and with humility by which the man forgives and is forgiven.
excerpt from The Word of God at the Feast of the Ascension of the Holy Cross of September 27, 2004
It is the feast of memorial of My glory when My face was changed and My shirt was shining, and the two heavenly witnesses, Moses and Elijah, who appeared in glory, speaking with Me about the end that I had to fulfill in the city of Jerusalem, for I told My disciples that I would suffer very much being rejected by the chief priests, by the elders and by the scribes, and then I would be put to death, and that I would rise the third day, and I told them saying: «If anyone wants to follow Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me daily, for whoever wants to save his soul will lose it and whoever will lose his life for My sake will save it». I told them these before My appearance in glory before them, after I had spoken with them about My glorified death, as then when they would see My glory, and in it Moses and Elijah speaking with Me prior to the things that I was about to suffer, so that they may believe, for I help the faith of the man that I choose by the sustaining works through My glory. Amen.
Oh, sons, My glory is hard to bear by man, and its sight frightens the man. When I took My three disciples and I went up with them in the mountain to pray to the Father to show them My glory from Him, and for My Father to confess Me to them that I was His Son, they were seized with glory and were frightened because a cloud shadowed them and the Father spoke from the cloud: «This is My beloved Son in Whom I am well pleased. Listen to Him». And they, hearing the voice, fell on their faces, and were afraid, but I touched them and said: «Get up, and don’t be afraid», because My glory had passed and there was no one except Me before their eyes. Then I told them not to speak to anyone about My glory that was seen by their eyes until I had to be resurrected from the dead. However, they, understanding the coming of the Lord’s Day and knowing that before it Elijah had to come and to tell everyone about My coming, asked Me: «Then why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?» Then I told them that Elijah would come and that he would restore all things, and then I also told them that he had already come but they did not recognize him and did to him whatever they wanted to, and that even the Son of Man would also suffer from them. Then the disciples understood then that it was John who came ahead of Me with the gospel of the kingdom of the heavens, which I came to establish on the man and for the man to be My kingdom. Amen.
excerpt from The Word of God at the feast of the Lord’s Transfiguration of August 19, 2004
Oh, disciples, I had walked with you for three years and a half and I had revealed Myself to you as the true God and you saw how the Pharisees and the scribes were coming and tempting Me, but it was easier for Me to overcome the opposing spirit who tempted Me after forty days of fasting, according to the Father’s order, and then I told him to the end: «Get behind Me satan, for it is written: „You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve”». And then the devil listened to Me and left Me, and the angels came to Me and served Me, and I did the work of My Father before the people, and the angels were descending and ascending to God, and they were ascending and descending on Me and were working at My faith, accomplishing its works. Amen.
excerpt from The Word of God at the synod of the twelve apostles of July 13, 2004
I stopped by the well in Sychar, by Jacob’s well in My time with My disciples from among the Jews, while I was preparing them for the kingdom of God, with which I came on earth once with My birth from the Virgin, a Man among men and God from God, for the Father had sent Me to become the Son of Man on earth, and then to give Myself with love as a sacrifice of reconciliation of the man to the Father, by the crucifixion that My people did to Me, the people to whom I came to make him a partaker of the grace of My resurrection from the dead, and of My ascension into the Father, so that I may be able to draw all to the Father, all those who will drink of My water with love, of the spring of life, for I am its spring. Amen.
I spoke with the Samaritan woman, who came to take out water: «Give Me to drink!». I was tired because of My travelling when I stopped by the well. However, knowing Me that I was of the Jews, she asked Me: «How is it that you, being a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman, for Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans». Then I, Who came from the Father into the midst of Israel, spoke to her: «If you knew the gift of God, and Who it is Who says to you: „Give Me a drink,” you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water… for everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life».
I spoke with her in the spirit of prophecy, in the spirit of revelation, and she knew this and said to Me: «I see that You are a prophet». And, after I told her everything about her, she went on saying to Me: «I know that Messiah comes, Who is called Christ, and when He has come, He will declare to us all things». Then I revealed Myself saying to her: «I am He, the One Who speaks to you». And then she went away into the city and confessed Me, and My disciples, who came with food and saw Me speaking with her, spoke to Me: «Rabbi, eat!» but I told them: «I have food to eat you do not know about. My food is to do the will of Him Who sent Me, and to accomplish His work. Behold, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and look at the fields, that they are white for harvest already, and he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit to eternal life; that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together».
