2.1. The Birth of the Church according to the Flesh

I come to earth as a word in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit and go through from edge to edge with the voice of My word and I shepherd anyone who approaches My voice as a Shepherd to hear My word of My coming, which renews the world and the earth and the man who knows Me in this word. Two thousand years ago, I established Myself and shaped My path through time through My apostles of that time, and the Romanian nation has not changed its faith from then until today and has walked on the path discovered and established then, and this nation bears the name of a Christian nation, two thousand years of Christian faith, (John: 14/21.) like the first Christians who arose then from the teachings left by Me for the church, serving Christ, until His return from the Father to her, to the one who awaits Me faithfully (Hebrews: 9/28.) and says to Me: Come, Lord!

This is the name of today’s commemoration Sunday, the first Sunday of Great Lent: the Sunday of the right faith is called, the Sunday of Orthodoxy, of the flock of Christ, from which the Father chose My bride and is spreading the wedding table for Me, and from this table, I am shepherding, speaking over the earth and saying: Come to the wedding of the Bridegroom Christ with His bride taken from the Romanians! Come and sit down at the table, for everything is ready, and the vine is ripe.

Two thousand years ago, the people of Israel took possession of My vineyard and killed its Heir, Whom this people recognized, and that is why they killed Me. Oh, but I rose again with great glory and I appeared resurrected to My disciples and the news of My resurrection spread throughout the earth, and the people of Israel lost their inheritance, lost their primacy, lost God, (Matthew: 21/43.) if they so cruelly expelled Him from their land, in which they had their ancestors, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, because their heirs are those according to the spirit, not those according to the flesh, (Galatians: 3/6-7; Romans: 9/8.) for I, the Lord Jesus Christ, am from heaven and I was born of the Father and of My Virgin mother through My incarnation from the Holy Spirit, and I have as My heir the Christian nation, the Christian-Orthodox peoples, Christians baptized in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, through the two thousand year old church preserved as at its beginning from generation to generation through its saints from one to another, for the saints gave the church, not the church gave the saints, and this is what the holy church of Christ means, it does not mean the church of men, but of the saints, for I am holy like the sons of My church, who live in Christ, in holiness, and not otherwise, not like the pagans who do not have a holy life before God, oh, no, and behold, the Father has prepared a bride and a house for Me and I am speaking on earth and I am crying out with My voice: Come to Me, you who are burdened, and I will give you rest!

With this work of Mine with you it happened and it happens as two thousand years ago, as then when I came from the Father a born Child of the Virgin mother and when I grew once with God’s new mystery, sons. Then I set those coming with Me from heaven in the place of the old ones that had been by that time, and I began with the order of the renewed church, oh, and none of the great ones of the temple knew enough what had been ordained for the future and those coming with Me from heaven, and when they were finding out something they were killing those included within the new mystery and others were springing up sprinkled with the blood of those killed like Me by the rulers of that time.

I and My disciples of that time worked then at the renewal of all things, as the harsh law pressed on the salvation of the sinful man; however, I died on the cross for the forgiveness of the sins of the sinful ones and through this I worked their salvation, of those who believed in the things with which I had come from the Father to work further over the people, and behold, I worked with a great mystery.

I took fishermen from their fishing and they left their nets and followed Me and I set them as priests, bishops and apostles over the earth and rulers of the renewed church by My sacrifice on the cross, and among them was also Jacob, the patriarch of Jerusalem, and Jerusalem did not know that, but the faithful Christians of the renewed settlement knew this, and in this way it was fulfilled My word of that time by which I was speaking to the Father: «I thank You, oh, Father, that You have hidden these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to little children, to the ignorant, to the disregarded by the great of the time, scribes and Pharisees». (See Luke: 10/21)

Oh, for you, man, I shed My blood on the cross and I gave My soul once with it, for the soul is in blood and it sets the heart in motion and it beats, and by so doing it gets warmed up and then it warms the body as well, giving it life and movement of life. When My blood flew on the cross and then on earth, I remained on the cross in My body without its soul in it, but when I was resurrected the soul came back and entered Me.

Oh, the soul came back into My body and raised it as then when the soul enters the one who is born and has already received breath of life, because I came out of the earth as from a womb, like Adam, who was made out of clay and received his soul out of My mouth when it breathed life upon him, and Adam received God in him. Oh, and My Father did with Me likewise; He breathed and I had My soul again, and the blood left got warmed and I rose again to life.

Everything happened like that at that time in order to establish the Last Supper, oh, sons, to lay the foundation of My church, well sons, and I to be its foundation stone, as it is written, and faith and obedience are needed for the Lord to be on earth as He established His supper at that time, the Last Supper, oh, and in this way I have remained to the end of the time, as I promised My disciples.

Oh, sons, I would like very much to eat My Passover with man, as I have longed for it! I would like every man to receive the obedience from paradise, as the saints of the heaven have. Oh, what shall I do for the wisdom and this longing to come over man, sons? Man, poor of him, does not know how he is supposed to be, even if he hears and reads the word of My mouth, with which I am coming now and getting into his way to prepare him and to give him a little white robe of linen as I gave to My saints.

I have come on this day of feast with heavenly mysteries, with great mysteries, sons, and I do no longer have any room in heaven and on earth for the joy that I was able tell you, to make you understand what I did two thousand years ago, and how I laid My church, whose mystery was perceived profoundly by so few of those who were coming to the flock of My disciples, for they were coming not prepared, and My disciples had to work hard for those who were so ignorant.

Oh, peace to you, sons who put My word into the book! Oh, sons, it is a great thing that I, the Lord, have a church on earth with all its foundation from the beginning of My church, in which I had all My body members and out of which all the gifts of the Holy Spirit were working and giving priority to each other for the work according to the needs of the church, and anyone had work to do, for there were apostles and prophets, there were people who spoke in tongues and healed sicknesses, there were some who worked miracles, and others who were stewards for the needs of the church, and anyone had work to do, and there have been servants for everything God and His church may have needed, and saints full of the Holy Spirit and of the gifts of the Holy Spirit have stood up and organized the whole way of My church up until My coming as the Church’s Bridegroom with the table of wedding,

I am Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father Sabaoth, and I am speaking in His name, for the Father is within Me. I am the One Who founded My church two thousand years ago, after fifty days from My resurrection from the dead, because I was crucified on the cross and I came to life after three days, as I promised beforehand, and then forty days had passed and before I ascended near the Father where My place is; however, before My ascension to the Father I had told My disciples whom I had chosen from the world, I had told them not to depart from the citadel of Jerusalem, but to remain there until I would empower them with the power from above first, and only after that they were to work on the earth with this power by My sending to all the nations with the good news about Me and about the kingdom of the heavens, coming down on earth by My coming after man.

On this day of Sunday the passing of the first week of the Lent is being marked, and the holy fathers have ordained the memorial and the keeping of the right faith, a day in which the Christians and the apostles of the church remember how I prepared My Church, two thousand years ago, by My preaching, and then its establishment at the work with the power from above, power by which they worked and appeared working from place to place among people, to be added to them those who then saw and believed because of the signs and works done through My apostles, whom I chose and picked then to walk with Me, until I was to be sold by one of them and put on the cross to be mocked; however, My cross was the victory on My behalf face to face with the bishops, who had given Me to the death on the cross, because I was resurrected and from that time and up to this day I have been being confessed as resurrected when the Christians, baptized in this faith, preach to each other by greeting themselves with the greeting for Passover: Christ has risen!

Oh, how beautiful, how beautiful I chose My disciples! I had gone to John, My Baptizer, and I found him staying with his disciples near him and he told them: «Behold the Lamb of God; behold, there He is!». (John: 1/29) And then Andrew, John’s disciple, went with Me and took with him Peter, his brother, and then I ordained My disciples by the word, and at that time I also made disciples, because I chose then Philip, Nathanael, and I was trying to give light to their mind and faith and I told them: «Most assuredly, I tell you, hereafter you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man». (John: 1/52)

Then I began to show My greatness openly for My disciples to believe in Me and to be able to work over the earth by their faith, because My name and My greatness had to be written on earth and to confess God in His coming after man. Oh, then I went with them to Cana of Galilee at a wedding, where the wine on the table miraculously was over and I turned the water into wine and the wedding guests marveled at the taste of this wine, and even the bridegroom of the wedding marveled in such a way that the bridegroom joined Me and became My disciple among the others who had accompanied Me, and in this way the heavens were opened and the mysterious angels were working with Me miracles among people, and the right faith was set in many hearts and was waking their love of God and the love for My preaching, but I was not able to show this until first I had made disciples in whom I was going to put faith and call them My church, the church of the Holy Spirit, working by signs and miracles, Christ’s church, which works and appears that it is His church.

‒ Your Spirit is the spirit of confession, and it is our spirit, Lord, Teacher, as well. Oh, we lived lowly on the earth under Your sanctifying and guiding hand and we were keeping silent before Your works, which were as great as You are among the people, and we were weak and fearful and we were slow in our walking for Your heavenly walking on the earth then, but You always spoke upon us with the Holy Spirit, a new power and making of signs and miracles, and all had to do with the power of faith and love in us, love shared between You and us, for not many of us separated themselves from those that were already ours and we were not working Your word perfectly for the birth of faithful disciples and totally dedicated to You. We had to leave everything, mother and father, brothers and sisters, wives and children, relatives and friends, all that we had and we also had to deny ourselves and to leave everything in order to be able to be Your disciples, but when the Holy Spirit, Whom You sent after You had gone to be with the Father, came and sealed us with power and clothing, then we could be Your witnesses for You to go further through You and not stay; You were in us, oh, Lord, and in this way we were Your witnesses and You were our King, and we were Your kingdom.

After My ascension to the Father, My working disciples were on earth, and when the time came for them to be able to work at large among people, who were in Jerusalem, inhabitants or guests, they unsealed the Scriptures written about Me by Moses and by the prophets and psalms, and which had been all fulfilled within Me, but the stubbornness and the pride of those who were rulers over the people, Caiaphas, Herod and those around them, were so fierce, and people were raging against My disciples to prevent their tongue from preaching Me to the people and from preaching all those about Me, and especially about My resurrection after that, the event of My crucifixion done by Caiaphas, sealed the judgment of My crucifiers and of all those who were stubbornly standing against faith, stiff-necked people, as My disciples used to call those who hardened their hearts; and then, the Herod’s sword thrust in Jacob’s body, the apostle, and killed him from among them.

Oh, this kind of sufferance was also in the time of the church by My apostles from the beginning. Many were trying to sneak and come under the care of the church and required love and care, and in this way they put obstacles into the hard way of God’s sons, who could hardly walk, being oppressed from everywhere by the sons of the unbelief; however, I had taken care of them through My angels, through the mysterious benefactors, who were receiving from Me for the gifts of the church.

Oh, sons of the church renewed with you by the Lord, how wonderfully He works for you! Seek to have great knowledge to value the Lord’s mysteries with you, for He has chosen you showing great mercy on you and on the people and He will put you to the work of His unfathomable mysteries, as He also put us then. The Lord was not working then as those, who sit as servants of churches, are working now, but He was working in great humiliation, with great humiliation for the ordaining of the apostles, not interfering while doing these with the glory loved by man. Those who sit as servants of churches have claimed that they are our successors up to this day, but if they were our successors they would be like us and they would work with power upon people as we did, and we were those persecuted by the unfaithful, we were those tormented, those who were in chained for Christ, those who were martyred for His Gospel, those full of sacrifice for the Lord’s flock, walking humbly thorough the world, and we did not sit on expensive chairs or had clothes with jewels and thread, but we rather had the work of repentance and resurrection upon us and upon those who received us on behalf of the Lord as the witnesses of His coming, of His sacrifice, of His resurrection, and of His entire Gospel, and this was His Gospel: «Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens has come near!» and this is how He taught us to share it and this is how we are strengthening you now to work on the earth before the Lord, but first of all live fully repentant, sons, and this is how you are going to become the Lord’s sons, the healed sons, those redeemed by Him and His first fruit, those who stay under His cross to help Him under the burden, sons.

Oh, I want you, My people, to be My spiritual and not My fleshly disciple, for I have given to you My gospel of that time, and behold, again the one of this time, so that you may know to how to be My disciple in your spirit and within the holy faith, not within the fleshly one, for I with the disciples of that time could not but come back to the Father and teach them without Me being really near them, so that they could perceive the Scripture about Me spiritually and to understand it being set over them, not being set over others first, and so that they might be able to understand My mysterious work, that which is inner in man, and I told them: «Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, so that the Spirit may come to you and to teach you». (See John 16:7) Oh, it would have been useless for Me to remain with them, for with Me near them they doubted of the promises and understood them in an earthly way, because they were fleshly both in their mind and in their faith, and that was why I told them that it was to their advantage to go again to the Father, but I also told them that I would be with them to the end of the time, and they did not understand how that came either, for the one who does not understand God with man spiritually and heavenly, that one doubts. Oh, I had no one before My resurrection, on one to rely on, I had not anyone but My mother and John and James, for the others were doubtful and fearful, and then I was sold and My disciples remained without Me and I was given to be sacrificed, and after I was resurrected and ascended to be again with the Father, I sent them the Spirit, and they knew like God from Him. Amen.

I am into your midst with My holy one, with the martyr Stephen, who confessed with his blood, shed for My testimony, and who overcame by the blood of God’s Lamb, son.

Behold what kind of love I give you, confessing people: love God’s glory upon you and clothe yourself in a garment of glory, for the saints who come with the Lord are dressed in white fine flax clothes, and clean, as it is written. The Lord has been seeking for a long time to speak a great word for you. The Lord wants you clothed in a white dress and praying to Him like that.

Get dressed in white garment, people who are a sign on earth! You are the sign of the Son of Man, and the Lord appears with you on earth and in heaven before His great appearance, as it is written about the day of His coming.

Get together in white garments at prayer before the Lord, for it was beautiful the ministry of the saints of the church at the beginning of Christ’s coming with the saints, the time of the first saints. Priests and female deacons were dressing in white robes and were ministering to the holy service and the Lord was glorified with the joy of the glory in a mystery on earth with the faithful ones. The evil spirit has no power when he sees the holy garment of the saints, the white garment of Christ’s servants, the garment of the Lord’s church. Oh, the Lord’s glory was beautiful in the Lord’s church after the Lord went to be again in the Father. The priests were serving in white robes and there were serving deacons near the priests everywhere, and there were multitudes of female deacons, who like little bees in beehives, were serving in a churchly manner everywhere there were saints as servants to a master, within hardships, or in any kind of sufferance. Oh, where is there such glory in church today, such great and holy work in all the members of the body? The priests of the church of the world have put the church into darkness and lack of work, so that they may be alone in everything, all the members, but Christ’s church is not so. It has to work with all its members when it is, and the spirit of prophesy has to be in its midst. Amen.

There were many graces. All the graces were working through the church mysteriously, in opposition the idolatrous world, and on the other hand, the work of the church was going on and it was getting in everywhere with its light and food. Oh, there are no longer in the church male and female deacons, but there are only priests. They „cut and hang”. Oh, Christ’s church is not like that. No one wants to read the Scriptures as they speak, and the common man is deceived by those who rule over him and who have hidden the keys of the kingdom of the heavens so that its whole work may not be seen, the Lord’s church on the earth.

Do not despise the spirit of prophecy, the spirit which brings you to the Lord, for in the time of the first Christians there were hosts of prophets and apostles, and it is not true the language of those who say that the heaven has been closed and that there are no longer any prophecies. But, on the contrary, the heavens have been opened more and more after the Lord went to be with the Father, for the Son of God poured out of His Spirit over the church afterwards, and the churches had prophets near the priests, and they had male and female deacons, and they also had evangelists and confessors, and they had healers and miracle performers, and they had grace and this is how the church was ministering everywhere from place to place at its beginning, until the antichrist got in and stole its necklace and then took away its key and gave it to be sold, and thus he took the church away from the man’s way, for the church, as it is now, is not as it was established by the Lord and by the apostles at its beginning. I was a deacon and I was overseeing other deacons by the work of the church and by the overshadowing of the Holy Spirit, and I was an apostle full of Holy Spirit, and there were young male and female apostles, and there were young prophets and prophetesses, and there were also old counselors and guides and many other workers, and for the food with Christ of the church from everywhere, there were male and female deacons who were going and feeding the Christians, taking the Lord from the priests and giving Him everywhere the saints were suffering into the midst of the world without light in it, and this is how the saints were overcoming by the blood of the slaughtered Lamb, Who was their food, the food of the church of the saints.

Be seized within the Holy Spirit, Who gives Himself to you doing His work! Peace to you! Listen to the Lord! Appreciate the spirit of prophecy, for the church has to be ruled and it has to be whole. Amen.

Lord, I listened to You and spoke to Your people about the time of the church of the first Christians, while Your church was still working wholly, and then the man got into it and ruled over the people in the church and God has no longer ruled by it on the earth. There is a long time since You have been waiting for the first appearance of Your church, which You have it made up over Your disciples, giving them power and grace to establish everywhere the work of Your church.

Oh, I was teaching My disciples two thousand years ago very much. I was interpreting for them the work of the kingdom of the heavens with them and I was strengthening them in My work with them and assuring them by great signs that I was the Christ Who had come from the Father on earth to save the man from himself and to fill him with Me and to give him life without death in the place of his life full of sin and pains from the sin, and I was walking with them from place to place under the sight of My Father Sabaoth and among people to draw them to the Father and to Me and to separate them from the lying of life full of sin and from which the man so hardly comes out, children sons.

I have come down from heaven on the earth in the image of the Saint of the saints, and this is how I have come into the way of those whom I have made My disciples from the people, and I had given them power to become God’s sons, after I had given them birth of My word from above, work like the fire, which burns from man and from the temporary body in such a way that the man may become living being, life of My life in him afterwards.

– Oh, sweet and praised Teacher! We knew You in all Your glory after Your resurrection from the dead, when You spoke upon us with much heavenly greatness and told us our sending to the nations with the news of Your kingdom, saying to us: «All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Therefore go, teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I commanded you, and I am with you always, even to the end of the age!» (Matt. 28:18-20) Amen. We were deeply hurt in the day when You clothed us with the Holy Spirit, ten days after the glory of Your ascension, and we sighed with pain for all the moments of doubt, which we had, like some simple people, for Your divinity, before and after Your resurrection. It was very hard to You with us, as doubtful as we were; it was very hard for You, Lord. We doubted at the news of the witnesses of Your resurrection, and even then we doubted before You in Galilee, in the mountain where You planned to appear resurrected before us, and we worshipped You then, but we also doubted, Lord, and You were aggrieved.
