TEACHING ABOUT TRUE FAITH
BELOVED JESUS, January 8, 2007
I AM Jesus, having come to you on this day.
To make the purpose of my visit clear to you, I would like to talk about well-known things that are accepted in your society at the current stage of its evolution. So, you live in your world and seldom come across the things about which you should think in the first place. You are concerned about everything that surrounds you in your life. You think about providing for your family, what to wear and what to eat. There is much fuss in your life. And you think that you live quite reasonably, as everyone else.
Though, if you think about what you do in your life and how this is justified from the point of view of the Teaching that I gave you 2,000 years ago, nothing has changed. It seems that it is time for me to become incarnate again and talk to you about the same things that I told you then. Remember, I told you not to worry about your daily bread, that wild lilies look much better than you do? Birds do not plow or sow, but they are fed. The Lord can take care of you the same way.* Why, being at the very top of the evolutionary ladder of earthly incarnations, are you paying so much attention to your most trivial needs? You have literally made a cult out of clothes, food, and prestigious things.
Nothing has changed since I came in a physical embodiment 2,000 years ago. You have acquired many modern things. You have advanced technology, cars, computers, but your consciousness is still on the same level as it was then, 2,000 years ago. This is very sad.
Do you understand where I am going with this? You are concerned about lots of unnecessary things that exist in your world. Ninety-nine percent of your time, you are busy with such things. Think, how can you come to your Heavenly Father if you are constantly preoccupied with your earthly problems?
Even when you think that you dedicate yourselves to God, go to church, pray, follow church regulations, even then, you do not so much think about God as you are concerned with what other people think of you - how you look when you are in the church, how other people look that are around you there. When I have a chance to be present in the church during a service - and I cannot be present at every service - I am surprised by your thoughts that I listen to and by your feelings that I sense. You know, it is very rare to find truly divine feelings among people. As a rule, you come to the church to solve your earthly problems, so you can better live and you and your relatives can have better health. But sometimes, you even wish evil to the people you know. You continue solving your mundane affairs here, in the church. You do not think about God. When you approach the altarpiece with my image, it is only to beg for something that you lack in your earthly life.
Think about my words. It seems to you that I speak in parables; you do not get what I mean. I am talking about the same that I was talking about 2,000 years ago. I am trying to make you understand that it is necessary to think about your soul, about your relationship with God, and, most of all, with the God in you. I taught about solitude with God during your praying and I condemned hypocrisy.** I rebelled against legalism and I made you think about spirit. Now, I am talking about the same. Nothing should interest you except for your relationship with God. When you seek God in order to find the meaning of life and start teaching this meaning to others, you do not come to God, you are distancing yourself from Him. Only when you find complete satisfaction in communication with God within you and you do not have to share this quiet joy with anybody, because you are fully satisfied and happy, only then do you find true God. I am touched watching you at such moments. And you start feeling my presence.
I am by your side always. But your state of consciousness and your preoccupation with everyday problems separate us. I so much aspire to our communication! The moments are so rare when I manage to initiate direct conversation with some of you. I am so happy during such moments. I am very much aware of the fact that any person who has had this experience of direct contact with me will never be able to live the same life as everyone else does. He will seek solitude and inner conversation with me. And he will not be able to imagine himself and his life without this communication. This quiet joy and serenity that such a person exudes in his life is better than any sermons or homilies. Such a person is a living example of unity with me and God, who is inside him.
The best and most devoted Christians have reached this internal unity in the quietitude of their hearts. Meanwhile there are others who try to play at serenity, love, and grace. But one short glance at them is enough to define the degree of their hypocrisy - and to withdraw. I would like for you to find the gift of discernment in your heart and to be able to identify all wolves in sheepskins, no matter how beautiful their words are and no matter what they do. It seems that many people do right things, talk about God, go to church, but in their hearts they are farther from me than those who do not parade their faith but who fulfill the Father's commandments in their hearts.
I have come to you this day to remind you about that Teaching that I gave you 2,000 years ago and that it is still important and relevant today. I want to remind you that I was crucified for the Teaching that I brought. If I came and preached today, I would be subject to the same persecution from scribes and Pharisees who are in the church. There are genuine priests but there are many more false ones. That is why I want you to discern between them and not to condemn the church and this or that teaching altogether. The right teaching can deflect in a wrong way in unpurified human hearts. But it does not mean that the teaching is wrong. First of all, seek God in yourself, in your heart. When you achieve inner harmony with God, you will not fear any wolves in sheepskins, or pseudo pastors.
I was glad to come to you this day and remind you about my Teaching which I gave before and with which I come again through this messenger.
I AM Jesus.
* Matthew 6:25-33
25. Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
26. Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better that they?
27. Which of you by taking one thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
28. And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
29. And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of those.
30. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
31. Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32. (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need for all these things.
33. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
** Matthew 6:5-6
5. AND when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
6. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into the closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and the Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
