                        The Word of God[1] at the Feast of the Lord’s Ascension

                                                                          (Translated by I.A.)

First, the peace of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit comes down. Amen. The word of the One ascended to the Father comes down; it comes down to Israel, and you, Israel, lift up the arms of your heart to receive the word and to eat it, son, to eat it with your heart and to rejoice, My people. I made you happy and I comforted you, Israel son, as I knew from the beginning in what time you, the little one, were to be, and you could not be without the comfort of the Holy Spirit, little son. I comforted you as this is written into the Scripture about the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, Which I promised for this hard time without comfort. The worldly man does not need the comfort from the Holy Spirit. He is used to lying comforting, which does not satisfy the soul. But I have always enshrouded you with the spirit of comforting, with the comforting veil of the Holy Spirit, and I have kept you as in a swaddle, so that you may feel protected, as the little child feels within his mother’s arms. God gave you love of the Holy Spirit, people of the Lord. Oh, I have come to make you happy. I gave you much word with a great richness in it, and you have son; you have what to eat, so that you may be sufficiently big for the time of accomplishments, which come slowly, slowly into view. I gave you much word and you have it. I gave you to grow up through it, and to become perfect in it, but here, you need a holy and sweet joy, and I come to make you glad with warm food, little son, the son from the end, so that you may see that I am with you to the end, as I promised you through the Scriptures.

Oh, how great the gift of the holiness is, son! It is great, but you should believe in everything that I promised you; it is a great gift, child Israel, extremely great, as only by the faith of the man of God, everything that God did in His ages, was done. The road of the man with God begins with faith, and if this is how it begins, it has never come to an end, as the faith remains forever by its deeds, and its road is eternal, it is eternity, son. This is how you should believe, as God can, and you should never go weak within this gift that bears the power of God.

Israel, My people, you have been bearing into your heart the day of celebration for two thousand years, when I ascended to My Father after forty days since My resurrection from the dead in the view of all that believed in Me. Why son, did I ascend to My Father? Have you found into the Scriptures the word at this question? I ascended, so that I may come to My people, to be with it to the end, and in the end to give to the faithful the place near the Father, as this is what I said: «I go to prepare a place, so that I may be with My people in it and to shepherd it». Amen. If I had not ascended to My Father, how could I have been prepared everything that was needed for those faithful in Me? If I had remained on the earth, seen by man, the faithful man would have got used to Me and he would have had nothing to believe in, if I had remained seen by the faithful man. I did so, so that the man may have the gift of the faith, and so that I may work by faith to prepare the wonderful place of My Father’s house, as where I am, My people may also be, and that I may shepherd it for the reward of the happiness of those that are faithful. It is one thing for the Lord, Jesus Christ to be with the faithful son in a visible way, and it is another thing to be from near the Father with he that believes in the Son of the Father.

Israel, I am not separated from the Father in heaven and on earth. If I am with you, I am with the Father near you. If I am near Father, I am with you near Father, and I strengthen the gift of the faith, child Israel. But I want, with My whole godly longing, you to be skilful in faith, more skilful than you are, more skilful, much more skilful than you are son, more deepened within this mystery, more filled with the gift in such a great gift of the faith, so that you may see the invisible miracles of the faith in the deified man, as Elisha’s disciple saw, as all the saints saw, all God’s servants, who help you today on the way of the faith. The road of the faith is the only way. Nothing means road except this road. Strengthen yourself on the road with Me, son, as this is why I established you on the level of the true prayer. You should not have rest into this work of the prayer until you see that it opens out its fruit. You should enjoy yourself, son, with this fragrance that brings God, as I come through it; it is My road; it will reveal Me visibly into your midst, Israel of today, as the one of yesterday, who believes in Me, is with Me, and it will let himself be seen near Me, and near you with Me. I gave you the gift of the faith, so that you may have abundantly, and I enshrouded you within the gift of the true faith, accompanied by the gift of the faith, as how would someone pray without believing, without hoping? (See the selection topic: „The coming in a visible way”, r.n.)

Oh, dear son, if you want to eat food, you should prepare it first. If you want to see the fruit of the seed, you should first plant it and then water it, weed it, hoe it, and dress it. Oh, how greatly a gardener rejoices when he sees that the seed he planted comes out and brings forth fruit! This is how you should also rejoice son of the faith, of the fruit of your seed, of the fruit of your prayer. Your prayer will bring forth a new age, visible by your eyes, it will bring forth a new heaven and a new earth, as it is the promise by the Scripture, and its fruit will never wither away. You should not get tired in the work of the prayer son, as I teach you wonderful things, Israel. I have taught you to gather yourself together as a cluster, to stay for ripening and be perfected. Take a healthy cluster into your hand and look well at it, so that you may see how the little grapes have grown together within the cluster and how they stay together, suckling from the grape vine until it is brought ripen on the table, until you can eat of its sweetness, of its fragrance, and to drink of its wine, of its joy, Israel. I have taught you to stay in clusters, so that you may produce fruit, to be a cluster with big and healthy grapes brought together before Me, Who grow you up, as I am the grape vine. I have taught you to pray son; I have taught you how to suck from the grape vine, how to be of the vine, how to stay in the vine, as the cluster is the fruit of the vine, son. I have taught you to turn from the natural into the spiritual, looking at so many grapes that are gathered together on the cluster of grapes.

Oh, My people, My little grape, My fruit waited for a long time! Any mother is waiting to see her fruit grown up and fulfilled. Any grape vine is waiting to see its fruit, son. I am the vine, you are the branches, but you are the little grapes. Oh, My people, My little grape, you should take a good look, son, at the grape cluster, and this is how you should be in the grape vine. The little grapes stay together; they stick to one another and are of the same color, of the same fragrance, of the same dew, enveloped for their refreshment, being warmed up by the same sun, and being nourished from heaven and from earth. Be careful, dear child; nourished from the earth and heaven. There is no earth without heaven, and there is no heaven without earth. The same is with you, child, My little grape; be a whole creature, son; be complete every moment. Oh, I teach you and you should understand, as it is necessary to understand, so that you may turn from the natural into the spiritual; further, you should not say like those in the beginning that it is not the time, as those of thirty or forty years ago, did not want to be established in that spiritual time, as it is hard when you have something else to do, to also do the spiritual things and to do them with love and faith. It is hard to make a true prayer when you have so many to do, when you also have other worries, when you are both natural and spiritual. Oh, it was hard for My Christian, nourished through this work, to turn from the natural into the spiritual, as the Scripture teaches. Until when did they really want to go on like that? But I have today a people used to the natural ones; I have a people that uses the natural things as though it would not used them at all; I have sons that work everything within a spirituality of spirit and body; I have, and I pray to My Father, Who gave them to Me, to make them perfect in Me, as the Father, this kind worshippers wants, worshippers in the Spirit of Truth. Israel, My little sweet grape, you, son, should not let yourself stolen by those that you do by your own hands. However, you should let your heart before Me, into My heart, and you should do the work of the heart in the hearts, as the little grapes on the cluster stay into each other, side by side, in the grape vine. Son, let your heart be into My heart. I take care of you more than you do. Let your sweetness be sweet in the grape vine, as the man of God is God’s son, and he has to be in God. Amen.

Oh, My child, your work is love, son. Learn well this work, as look how much I insist to teach you. I come with the spirit of comfort and I teach you to know and to believe that your work is love, and I tell you again to look at the little grapes in the cluster, to see how they stay, how they are nourished, how they come into perfection for their sweetening in the vine. And I also remind you, dear Israel, how to work at your building, as you are God’s building. Work son, at your building, as this is your work: the spiritual work. I remind you of the word of the Holy Spirit which has worked
