6.3. The Mystical Kingdom of the Lord with His Chosen People; His Teachings, in the Spirit of Obedience

Each moment of rebuke is a new birth for the one who wants to be born of heaven. Oh, hardly can the man of nowadays perceive this mystery. But to you, who are the people of My word, which gives life, do not be upset with the time of rebuke for your wrong doings. Give yourselves to one another and to Me every moment of your life. Each rebuke is your new birth, you child born by the new mystery of the church, the mystery of the New Jerusalem over your creature. The old man tries to be upset within you, but the new man rejoices through the work of the birth, for the judgment day is the day of the new birth. Amen.

The one who wants to come after Me, let him deny himself take up his cross as his way of life and come this way. Amen. But what cross should one take up? Should he really take up his cross and his worries and the troubles of his works? Oh, this Scripture is not to be understood this way, but here is how it is to be understood: Let the man take up his cross on his shoulders as I took it and went with it on Golgotha to be crucified. Let the man follow Me there. Let the man take up the cross of his lawlessness and lay on it and follow Me this way; this way, crucified, for the one who is not crucified is free and commits iniquities with his body. Let the man leave his shameful cross and take up the cross of glory, the cross of crucifixion through which the world is dead to him, and he is dead to it, for the works of the world are the life of the hell on earth, the mirror of the hell in which the man looks and sees his own face. I, the Lord, came down into the book with this word for this day of repentance: let the man take up his cross of crucifixion, as I took it, to follow Me on the earth for the cleaning of the lawlessness on it, for soon, soon, the lawlessness and its bodies will melt away like wax.

But you, sons of My greatness, I have always taught you to keep away from My judgment, doing My will before Me. Do many merciful deeds, as much as you could, as mercy is a candle with oil, a burning candle. Give Me over as a gift to every man who reaches out his hand for heavenly food. Also give Me to the one who is ashamed with Me and who does not reach out his hand but only stealthily. Give God as mercy to all who do not want the heavenly food, as I, the Lord, give them the bitter bread of anxiety to those who are careless of the soul. I make them all anxious to the hearing of My word, and a fire will be kindled all around and it will threaten the earth with fire and judgment, but My country with My manger in it will be the throne of My word, out of which a word of consuming and cleansing fire will flow over the man and over the earth.

Give God as mercy, messenger sons of My coming. I am the Word of God for the coming of Christ, the Son of the Father, and I share Myself through you as My coming upon every man.

The humiliated man is the humbled man, who works out to himself patience and humility of spirit for the forgiveness of his sins in the past and for his work for God. The one who does not work for God with his life, with his deed, with his language, with his working mind, that one has nothing to work his salvation with, for the salvation of the man is the man’s work for God, so that the Lord may make sons out of the work of the sons, as without fruit there are no sons.

Only the one who is humbled, only he is not forsaken by the gift of the faith, and the humble man works for himself patience and thankfulness and does much work for God, for the use of many people, whom God chooses as His sons.

I told you to live together for your soul, working for it three parts of a whole, and working for the body just one part. But I come today and tell you that My time has drawn near to you, and it is with you, and you should live four parts for the soul, not only three parts. You should live with your whole being for your heavenly man, for the heavenly body, sons. But how can this really be done? You should not also say that My words are hard for you. Sons, dear sons between heaven and earth, make out of your bodies members of the Holy Spirit, useful for your souls, as the souls have eternity and they also have the work of redemption of their bodies for eternity. Amen.

Oh, My people, I speak to you son, so that the people may hear My voice and My speaking with you on the earth. What would you do if you did not believe in Me, in My word? You would become like the people who do no longer know what it means the man to be with God. You would become like those who teach you how to be, as the people of the world have teachers; they have priests, they have prophets, and the spirit of the word separates them from Me, for the Scripture says: «Friendship with the world is enmity to God». You would become an enemy to Me, if you separated from the word of life, son of My people. Oh, you should not play the staying with God; you should not play with coming and going, you, who stay with Me by your faith, by your love. The one who plays with the going can no longer play the coming back to Me and to you, My people, My loved people. Oh, it is hard for the one who came and went away, for a bad time and a burdensome pain will come upon the one who did not know to stay with God, and it has never been a greater pain like that one and it will never be; pain without comforting.

Oh, son Israel, you should not play with God; you should not deceive Him; you should not lie to Him and not forsake the One, Who is. You cannot find Me, son, to those foreign to Me, to those who are not a house to Me. I am with those that I have them as My house and My rest in it, My will in the man, My people. Only such a man is Christian; he is My house.

My word builds a house to Me in you, faithful son in Israel. Let My word in you give an account to anyone who may call you to account for your faith and for your wisdom, My child Israel. No one has wisdom except you, son, as I became wisdom in you, so that you may not leave Me and so that you may not perish, dear child. It is written into the Scripture: «He, who perishes, perishes for lack of wisdom, for lack of God in him he perishes». My peace in you is My life in you, son. He, who has peace has God, as I become peace in the one who has Me; I become faith in him; I become love; I become holy smile; I become light; I become My light in him and I call him son of God, as this is what I said: «Blessed are the peacemakers, as they shall be called God’s sons».

Israel, Israel, you should not lose your happiness, son; you should not play the staying with God. I yearn after you, and My Spirit is consumed after you to keep you in love, My people. I have no peace in heaven and on earth without you, son Israel. You should not let yourself be estranged; you should not let yourself into the hand of those without God, as those with God are those who live God. It is written into the Scripture and into the prophets about the voice of My word, who is today with you, Israel people of today. Read son, and believe while giving light upon the people. You should give light from the light, for you have it, My people. You should give to those of Mine from what is Mine. Oh, I have always come, Israel; I come and I do not let you perish, as it is a bad time and if you saw it, you would get frightened. It is a bad time, well Israel well, and it is full of its prophets, and you are small. Stay hand in hand with Me, for you are small, you are very small in the time of the people. I am small on the earth, for you are tiny and little, but My greatness has you great, and you are great before Me. You, the very little one, are great and are comprised by My greatness, by My word, which shepherds you to have sons and not to perish swallowed by the bad time. Stay into your house, son; stay with Me, not in the world with you and with the world. Stay, as great is the one who stay so that he may stand and not fall, and he, who falls down, he does not stay and that is why he falls down.

My people, you should do good to the people with Me; do not do the people any good with you. This is how the people are learned to do them good, and they say that it is well, but you should not say like that, and you should do them good with Me, son.

I want you to be one body with Me, bride and Bridegroom in a heavenly love, not natural, My people. The natural love becomes sin, but the heavenly love becomes a new heaven and a new earth in man. Did you see David, who fell into the traps of the flesh, as the flesh appeared in front of him by what has been weak from the beginning? If Bath-Sheba did not love herself before loving God; if she was not a godly nature in the flesh, she would not give herself over to self-love, to fleshly pleasure, and then David, the king, would have not seen the flesh standing in front of him. But David came to a spiritual crying, and I wiped off his wound made by the flesh, as sin made a wound into his heart, and David was My anointed, for he took care of Me in him.

My people, this is what I told you: pass from the flesh into the spirit; turn from the natural into the spiritual, as I teach you the lesson of life, so that the earthly man may hear those about life without death. It is a great thing for the spiritual man to have a spiritual stature. This work seen in the man is a great work. There is no greater work with the man than this. The spiritual man sanctifies the man in front of him. I tell you, My loved people, to know the work that you have to do before Me, as you have to be the spiritual man before Me. I take care of you with the love of My word, with the power of My word. I warm you up into My love, so that you may know its spring, son. I always bring through it your changing into eternity, into childhood, in the spiritual, as I am the love, because the man coming down from heaven is without sin. The man born of Me has to become a sinless man before Me, the man of the heavenly love on the earth.

… Sons, let the days of your fasting be worked out with love and humility, not with murmuring and boasting. Keep the prayer away for nowadays world, for if the world sees the Christians that he prays to God, the one in the world, instead of doing the same, starts to hate the Christian. When the world sees the Christian that he fasts, it mocks him and laughs at him; it makes fun of the Christian’s life, but you should not be affected by their ridicule.

… The one who drinks alcohol, let him not expect any good. The one who has put a drop of alcohol on his table, I do not say in his mouth, from that one God has departed with His blessing. Have you seen the Lord drinking alcohol on earth? But He drank nothing but water and wine. He drank wine so that what was said through the prophets may be fulfilled.

The one who puts alcohol at the alms, at the feast or at the memorial services, is not received by Me.

… Clothe yourselves well in Christian life, for the one who does not have a Christian garment will perish in a little while by what is coming.

… My little children, I ask for correction. Correct yourselves, for behold, the time has come to be weighed. I ask for correction in the spiritual life too. Do not go to the little church with a short little dress. Do not let the children eat in the little church. Do not make the little church a canteen. Do not make the little church a house of rest. Do not make the little church a house for talking. Do not make the little church a theater for joking. When you have entered through the door, let your look be holy, up, to the holy heaven, for on the door of the holy altar sits the King, Who came long ago, in the morning He came with the Child in His arms, to sacrifice Him for your salvation.

… Sons, look what the Lord is saying before you: when you know that you need to work or to leave somewhere, keep the praying time. By this hour, from four o’clock to five o’clock, (P.M., r.n.) you can gain as the bride gains the furniture, but the prayer and what you buy with it is more expensive. Take your time, either before or afterwards, that at four o’clock to make your vespers, chapels, prayers and unsettled. And at the twelve o’clock midnight when the heav-enly bells call, be there in connection with the heavenly ones. Did you hear?

… If you are a Christian, do not care about what you feed yourself with. If you are a Christian, do not care about what you clothe yourself with and where you travel and what you speak, for all come from Me.

… I am sorry that so many sick people have the gift to become healthy by fasting, but they eat for sweet food. There are many sinful people, who go from priest to priest and ask them to perform services for them, and the priest does it, but they do not make them healthy. Why? Because they have no fasting. And the earth is full of people who are sick and no one makes them healthy.

… I have made you sons. Do not be dirty on your little garments, for the Holy Spirit visits you in an unseen way. Be clean both inside and outside.

As Abraham had heavenly messengers and ate with them, the same was when the heaven came to you, and when it came back, it came with ears on its face because of what it saw on you. Son, taking care of you, you take care of Me, and taking care of Me, you take care of you.

My children, make the holy cross not only when you pray. You will overcome with the cross. Make the cross where you go to sleep; make the cross on the walls, on the vessels, on the table, at the springs of water, on the paths, and call for the blessing, as where the cross is, the devils flees. Make the cross. Do not be people without the cross. The cross sanctifies the things; it sanctifies the bodies; it sanctifies your eyes. The cross is the staff, which destroys satan. The cross brings healing. You should make thousands and hundreds of holy crosses while praying, but not superficially. If you cannot do it with your hand on the way because you fear the people, I say that you should not be afraid of the people. Do not put the light under the bushel. Take care of your candles. Put the oil into the food. The oil brings health and many other good things.

Israel, My people, do not hide from God for the wicked man; do not hide but better arm yourself, as the power that comes in you is from Me. Only if you knew, son, how much power the faith has, and fasting without sorrow and prayer made with much peace and love!
