Chapter 2: The two thousand years history after Christ

The birth of the church’s body



There were people gathered together in Jerusalem from all sides of the world, and the Holy Spirit descended upon them all. How comes upon them all? I tell you that it was so. Not only upon the apostles did the Holy Spirit descend. The being of the Holy Spirit appeared upon the apostles, so that it might show their work from Jesus Christ; the image of the Holy Spirit was shown upon them, so that the others might believe in Jesus Christ, the One that was preached by the apostles; the One, Who was raised from the dead and taken up into the heavens. And those that said that the apostles were filled with wine, they received the Holy Spirit too, as each man from then on understood what the apostles were speaking; each one understood in his own language, as on that moment the tongues of the people were made clear, and it was only one language, the language of the Holy Spirit,

* * *

All the people that were gathered together at Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost, were seized by the work of the Holy Spirit; they all were hearing the language of the Holy Spirit into their own languages, and believed that it was the wine that was speaking through them, children. My apostles were filled with the new wine, the renewed spirit of the new wine, a drunkenness of the Holy Spirit on the earth, a joy of the Holy Spirit upon the people, the spirit of Jesus Christ’s victory, the One Who ascended to the Father, the One raised through death and resurrection. Every people were seized by this joy of the new language in Jerusalem, the language from heaven over the creatures.

* * *

Be faithful Israel, as the remnant of Israel was, the remnant that remained after Israel forsook Me; for I made the salting food, which I ploughed the ground with, sons, from the faithful remnant of Israel. And who were those from Israel’s remnant? They were Peter, Paul, Jacob and John, and all My apostles, who preached My name and the kingdom of heaven to the ends of the earth. My people from today, I made of this remnant of Israel a host of apostles and prophets and saints and I salted the earth with the salt of My word, which was flowing by the mouth and spirit of these heavenly servants on the world. I salted the world with My word through them, as after My ascension I told them this: «Go and preach that God’s kingdom has come near. Go to the ends of the earth and baptize those that believe in the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit». Amen.

* * *

Oh, the mystery of repentance goes before the holiness and faith, and then before the Holy Spirit. Now the church does not work this way, for if someone comes with a baby to be baptized into My name and to entrust it to Me, that one lies when he comes, as he is not repented and sanctified and faithful; and he also does not urge the baby come to Me and follow Me, as Cornelius did with his entire house when he was baptized by the hand of My apostle.

* * *

as they, who became My disciple then, would sell everything they had so that they might not be mixed up with them, and they would give themselves and their belongings to Christ’s disciples, and would enter My family whose had I was; I, the Lord, I, the Son of the Lord, and they would go from place to place with Me, and they and I, were seedsmen. What do we seed? We seed the kingdom of the heavens in the man and upon the man. Those who did so with their life, were wise and gained the kingdom of the heavens.

* * *

And when I left My Father to draw them again, I told them to remain in a spirit of holy Jerusalem until they were to be clothed with power from above, and then I told them this: «You will receive power coming from the Holy Spirit upon you, and you will be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the uttermost parts of the earth». And if I told them so, I went then back from near them to the Father, speaking to them through angels that as I ascended from them, so I was to come, as they saw Me ascending into the sky in the clouds. And after ten days I gave them the Holy Spirit and suddenly there came from the sky a sound like the rushing of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting; and tongues of like fire appeared and were distributed to them, and one set on each of them and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit became God in them, and those gathered together heard them speaking, in their own language for the Holy Spirit is the One Who can do this when He works from man upon man. Only that people are different and because of this the Holy Spirit cannot work upon them, because the Holy Spirit is like the good wine, which befuddles the onewho has had it, and his language is not understood by those who do not know what God’s mystery with man on earth is.

* * *

Oh, it was the same on the day, when I, the Lord, the One Who was resurrected and ascended to the Father, sent the Holy Spirit upon the disciples in a visible way, giving them the tongues for the nations of the people and to everyone who were with a living soul between heaven and earth. It was a sound like the rushing of a mighty wind, and the wind was speaking with its noise, with its voice, and then tongues of fire came down upon My disciples and they all spoke upon those that were together in Jerusalem from among all the nations of the earth, and all them that were there were amazed and perplexed and they were saying one to another: «What does this mean?». And Peter spoke to them all: «Let this be known to you and listen to my words. This is what has been spoken through the prophets: It will be in the last days, says God that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh… and whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved». And then he said to them: «Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit».

Oh, behold how My church has been being built. It is built this way and not as the man builds it, who makes himself a minister over the church. Church means a miracle of the Holy Spirit as two thousand years ago, after I gave the Holy Spirit onto My disciples in tongues of fire and every soul was full of fear, because there were being done great miracles and signs upon them in Jerusalem and the fear of God seized them all, and all who believed were together and had everything in common, and they sold their possessions and goods and distributed them to all, according to everyone’s need, and then they were all together in one spirit breaking the bread in home and taking bread with gladness and singleness of heart, praising God and His grace let upon the people, and the assembly increased in number as the Lord added to it day by day those who were being saved.

* * *

I was going with the disciples through the cities and the Samaritan woman received Me, with her faith in Messiah’s coming, and while I was speaking to her at Israel’s well, I told her: «I am He, the One Who speaks to you». Oh, and many received Me after that, and after My ascent near My Father, after forty days from My resurrection from the cross, and after I sent the glory, the comfort and the power of the Holy Spirit upon the disciples, a lot more received Me then, for they were going through the world by My sending and they were giving testimony preaching Me that I had come and brought the salvation to the world by My birth, death and resurrection, and many believed and were baptized and became Christians, of whom My apostles were establishing bishops over those that became My church with their body, soul and spirit. Amen.

The feast of today is sweet, the feast of My apostles, Peter and Paul: one for the people of Israel, who became a faithful man and My church, and the other, for the nations of the earth, to make the Christians into spiritual sons, Israel according to the spirit, as I spoke to Abraham about his seed of the promise, which would be as numerous as the stars of the sky, and not from the earth, among those who bear the body and who are chosen and picked up from the world to belong to God on earth, and then preaching every moment My kingdom in them, a kingdom persecuted by those who did not want and do not want Me to come.

* * *

It is written into the Scriptures that «the Spirit of God judges everything, He searches everything, up to My deepest things», if the man is made divine and waits with awe for the wind of the Holy Spirit, the Spirit Who has been waiting for seven thousand years for the man to be like God, for the man to be able to speak with God, if he has faith, and if the man has love.
Oh, how beautiful was the work of My Spirit over Cornelius’ house, the one in the time of My apostles, a righteous man and one who feared God and who always prayed to Me within his spirit to bring salvation over his house and comfort at his expectation! I sent My angel in the time of his evening prayer and I told him that I would fulfill his prayer, for it was heard in heaven and it would come back to him with what he had requested. I sent Peter, the apostle, to him, who confessed Me as Messiah, the true One in word and deed, the reason for which the priests put Me to death, and then My Father resurrected Me with His power in Me after three days, according to the Scriptures, which spoke about Me.
Oh, how beautiful is the man to God, the one who has fear for God and prayer through it and a gentle and humble spirit, which reaches to heaven! Oh, how beautiful is the man who does not doubt of Me, for that one does My will diligently in him, for the Spirit of God in man has hopes for everything and then he believes them with patience, and he puts Me with love in his being full of holy pleasure, for this is how God in man is. Amen.

* * *

Oh, how much I helped the man in the time of My body and then by My Saints, who took after Me in love and mercifulness, and through these to draw the man to the Father! I could not do greater things for the man than help him in his needs and weaknesses, to make him know Me and to long after Me and the people to confess Me to one another. Oh, all the people have got used to My goodness, with the help from Me, and I have not been able to rely on man for Me too, because the man thinks only at himself when he thinks at Me. Oh, few, very few people were and are on earth to deny themselves and to follow Me in order to be able to work My will in them and to do it for Me, because I am the most helpless one,
