God gave man the law. Thunders rolled, trumpets sounded, the people feared, trembled and asked Moses to go into the cloud, because they were afraid. And on the mountain God gave Moses the tablets of the covenant, which Moses broke the first time when he saw the golden calf molded by the people in his absence. Then the Levites were engaged in cleansing the people. Moses went up the mountain for the second time and again brought the tablets with the Ten Commandments, around which the scribes, teachers and Pharisees built hundreds of commandments, wrote thick books on how to observe these ten commandments in a perfect way.
And so Christ came at the end of times and took the curse of the law out of the way, and nailed it to the cross. They have studied very well what will happen to you if you don’t comply with all the laws, why the curse will befall you. But Jesus took and removed the curse of the law. What should the high priest do next when everything turned out to be nothing? And now – into love! We need to move into a faith in which the “filling” is love, so that the Lord will plant us there. The earth is big, but there is Eden there – and this is the love of God. God leads us away from rules – into love.
Christ was inspired. Christ was always inspired! He was never boring. I remember once having two dreams. In one dream I saw Him in such a way that it “broke” me and I fell on the ground. And another time I saw such a curly, handsome man with a beard. I was at the table with him, we talked, and he pretended that he was Christ. Then I began to penetrate deeper and deeper into him, and I realized that this was not Christ. This is terrible – a person pretends that he is like Christ, but this is not Him! You can’t believe this! I believe in the inspired Christ, who is inspired, fervent. Everything He does, He does with all His heart. He does nothing without passion. Everything He does, He does in fire! And I want this fire! I want to be in this fire! Because my Christ is the inspired Christ!
These are the two revelations I carry within myself. I don’t know which one in what hemisphere, but this is the true Christ, Who is the King of meekness. Remember that Jesus is the King! Any manifestation of Him, wherever He is, He is the King! If you see Christ, even perhaps in rags, in poverty, He will still be the King. There, somewhere deep, you will recognize the King in Him. But at the same time when you see Him in glory, He is also a Servant, a Servant of God. And here is this Lamb, Who was dead, and the ever-living Lion – in One Christ. This is My Christ!
Christ called us from the rules – into love. Today, many Christians continue to move the rules – rule upon rule, precept upon precept. And they think that they will be preserved in this. But there is no inspiration ther, but Christ is inspired! Be filled with the Spirit of God!
Revelation
“A scroll was shown held by two hands and slowly unrolling after the fourth seal has been broken on it; previously hidden Writings were gradually revealed and read aloud.”
Do you see what revelations the Lord is sending us today? Some theologians might argue today. But something else is important to me. Paul said that he may be “ignorant in the word, but not in the knowledge.” (2Corinth.11:6) You can know what material the tunic was made of, on what street and what woman wove it. You can dig up what it means from Greek or Hebrew, but I will know Him. That’s all. And this is what Paul meant. These are not the things we need to study, we need intimacy with Jesus. Many things in education are harmful. I want to exchange it all for Him speaking to me, so that He blesses me with His embrace and covers with His love.
The Lord is leading us into the Apocalypse. A new theology begins. Those things that we have been taught for centuries are no longer relevant, because we have “sucked” all the juice out of them. And we need something that will give us strength today, that will give us happiness to live, that will give us inspiration! We need an inspired gospel!
I believe that new topics will now be raised, as we talked about the planets. Copernicus and Galileo did a lot, but that was a long time ago. Prophets come forward, Apostles come forward and teachers take up and begin to reveal it to the people.
Come, new themes! The Creation of God! So that we become friends of God, and not just forgiven sinners in rags. Perhaps we need to grow up and move forth in creating things with Jesus, go to work with the Father?!
“And there was no end in sight when the scroll would cease unrolling.” You see, this is endless understanding.
“There was a conversation between two beings, one said to the other: “When will the time be to break the fifth seal?” And the other answered: “It is not yet time until the hidden writings are revealed.”
Very good food. When there is no anointing of the Holy Spirit on the bread, you can feed “half a child,” but when God comes, you take a piece – and there is enough for thousands.
Revelation
“It was shown that the earth was like a huge field, on which there were many areas with fields earing and ripening. Then a large part of this field was shown, which was Russia. Part of the field was ripe and ready for the Harvest. And some were still ripening. The part that was yet ripening was in the night, which was illuminated by weak moonlight. The part that was ripe and ready for the Harvest was opening to the light of the slowly approaching dawn.”
I want to say that it is true. The dawn is impending on Russia. This is a great country. Genetically, this is a huge power. Art, literature, science, sports – take any field – this is obvious. Some would desire its destruction – because of the bitterness that they could not overcome. But God doesn’t think so, the dawn is coming.
Revelation
“From the Eastern Gates a new river of the living water began to flow, which had neither beginning nor end. Its direction was to the four sides of the earth. In some places they wanted to block it, but this was no barrier for the river. On the contrary, the river became larger and overflowed further. From this water the earth was saturated and cleansed, since all garbage was carried away by the river flow. Therefore, a different life began on earth.”
Hope! Hope doesn’t disappoint! Don’t believe in a bad future for Russia! Everything becomes clear to me. Yes, perhaps the dawn is just approaching, it is still dawn, but it is approaching inevitably.
Remember the scripture where the master sent his servants to gather those who were called to the feast, but they refused. The master became angry and said: “Now go to the hedges, to the ravines, go and gather those who come – the weak, the sick, the homeless – everyone!”
“And the servant said: “Master, it is done as you commanded, and still there is room” (Luke 14:22). And further on. “Then the master said to the servant, “Go out into the highways and hedges and compel people to come in, that my house may be filled” (Luke 14:23). Don’t “hint” about God, but tell how Christ was crucified on Calvary so that you don’t go to hell. Convince him to come so that His House may be filled! How should the House of God, the House of the Father, be filled? There’s room there! Because this is a ship of salvation! Because there is an abyss and hell, and you need to “pack up” the ark of salvation to the top! Fill the House of God!
“For I tell you that none of those men who were invited shall taste my supper, for many are called, but few are chosen” (Luke 14:24). I will say this: there is still room, but there is no time. There is very little time left.
Each person has his own measure of good, and I want to stand on it. I want this good – this “cup of water”, a good word – I want to take this good and bring it to God. Let us become better in our hearts. Even if there are only sparrow or eagle wings behind your back, let’s all raise them and keep them raised! I put on a mantle of hope, which is for every person. I hope that God will accept him, and sins will be forgiven, and the man will be with Him. This is how I will live – this is my position – to stay in hope. Because “hope never disappoints”! Let us all get clothed in hope. I don’t know what your circumstances are – change the clothes of unbelief and sorrow – into hope. And live with your wings raised! This is how we must believe, this is how we must walk with the inspired Christ!
And there’s still room – let us hurry! Let us persuade them to come, let’s pack this House to the top! “So that My House may be filled”!
Let’s become birds to first rise and then come down to help! Parable of the Good Samaritan – pay attention to strangers! Look around and see those whom you don’t want, who are nobody to you! It was a stranger. Look at strangers to whom you have no emotional attraction – and go to them. The Samaritan “found” him, which means he was searching. Be attentive and sensitive to what is happening. Don’t walk down the street with your “glass” around, with your headphones – watch people, catch the sounds of their hearts, – catch the waves of people’s hearts!
Third, the Samaritan left his affairs when he saw this man in need. He put his needs above his own. He was not too busy as a priest and a Levite. Fourthly, he wasted his own. He gave a lot – he took him to a hotel, paid for it, and not for one day, but until he recovered. He made a promise that the bar he had set would not be lowered – that he would be just as well fed, cared for, and if they spent more – he promised to make it up in full. Do you understand what kind of person this was? This is Christ! And one more thing – he was not finished with this man, he was going to return. I’m sure he was back. Such people don’t deceive. Look – if only we had such an attitude to the people around us! Where would you and I be?

““I watched till thrones were put in place, and the Ancient of Days was seated;
His garment was white as snow, and the hair of His head was like pure wool. His throne was a fiery flame, its wheels a burning fire; a fiery stream issued and came forth from before Him. A thousand thousands ministered to Him; ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him. The court was seated, and the books were opened” (Daniel 7:8-10).
See God! Lift up your eyes from the routine, from your everyday suffering! Let us raise our eyes to the Throne! Thousands stood before Him. Let us stand there and move on to serve Him!
““I watched till thrones were put in place, and the Ancient of Days was seated;
His garment was white as snow, and the hair of His head was like pure wool.
His throne was a fiery flame, its wheels a burning fire; a fiery stream issued
and came forth from before Him. A thousand thousands ministered to Him;
ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him. The court was seated,
And the books were opened” (Daniel 7:13-14).
All the nations of the world will one day serve Him! That’s where I’ll look up! It’s not where I am now, but what God sees me as. The Lord chose me not because I was a “pleasant” sinner, but because He saw who I would become with Him. And He looked there – at the final result, and He took me.
“Then the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people, the saints of the Most High.
His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey Him.’ “This is the end of the account. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts greatly troubled me, and my countenance changed; but I kept the matter in my heart.”
(Daniel 7:27-28).
This is the way to live – watch and keep the word in your heart. Carry God’s Word within you as the ark of the Lord. Don’t avoid, don’t let our emotions carry us away, keep the Word. God’s shalom is within me because I keep the Word in my heart forever.
