AGAPAO (LOVE!) John 13:34
Zadar, May/2017
The importance of self-examination and how it is being implemented ...
lecturer: Lorens Novosel The Apostle of Jesus Christ
... your cell phones
If they are silent before the Lord
So they do not disturb us during the lecture
Or, the planting of a seed
Seminar is seminarium ... planting of a seed
Here it is a seed of Life
We Love You Jesus
In the ground of our heart, greatly dead
And depends on planting of the right seed in it
Thank You Jesus
We Love You Jesus
I want you to understand that it is not only our Father, God Almighty
In and through Christ, Who is planting the seed
The Devil also plants the seed, if you are not careful
Thank You Jesus
We Love You Jesus
Therefore, we need to be vigilant
In the Word of God, when He says, spiritually speaking, 'be vigilant.. '
It means 'walk, or live, in the light of the Word..'
Those who are sleeping are deceived
Spiritually speaking, there's no sleeping
A soul never sleeps
It is always the state of the soul
Thus, be vigilant
Or, walk or live in the light of the Word proclaimed
It's also called 'we walk in truth...'
We know you cannot walk in truth
As if you put on a pair of tennis shoes
And you're walking in those tennis shoes
But it refers to life in truth
We Love You Jesus
Thank You Jesus
Here it is... 3 John
There's only one chapter there, and these are the verses
Verses 3 and 4
It says: For I rejoiced greatly when the brethren came
And testified to your truth
How you are walking in truth
Listen to this now
We know that John is not saying this
But the Holy Spirit of God, from Christ Jesus
Through John, for us
For this is the context of the Holy Scripture, John 16:13
Given what follows in the apostolic epistles
For Jesus told apostles that He'll be gone soon
Then He sends the Spirit and the Spirit says what it hears from Him
Thank You Jesus
And if the Spirit heard it from Jesus
It's a process, but to understand it easier
Then what it heard and what you've written is from Jesus
Right?
So then Jesus says, listen now, verse 4
One of my favorites
It's not 1 John but 3 John
I have no greater joy than to hear that My children are walking in the truth.
To walk in truth is to live by truth
To say 'to walk in the truth' is the same as 'to walk in the light'
Or, 'to live in the light'
Or, 'to live by the truth'
It's the same
In any case, only this way of life leads to the goal
However, in order to know whether we or not walk, or live by the truth
We Love You Jesus
We must re-examine ourselves in regards to the truth
Of the Word of God
This should be a benchmark
Of our thinking and acting
This is our topic today
It is extremely important
If we are to progress
Thank You Jesus... we Love You Jesus
Our progress entirely depends on us
And when I say entirely on us
It should be understood as in wisdom
For we know we cannot do anything without Him
And that we do everything by His power
Thank You Jesus
It's included in this statement
But on our side
Our progress depends on corroboration with Him
Who wants to work in us through His Spirit
And bring us to Himself, to holiness
But He cannot if we do not work with Him
Or else He would force us
Thus, everything depends on our reaction to His inflow
And therefore, looking from our perspective
And it's only wise to look from our perspective
Let Him be, He did His part
All depends on us
Many fail here
All is grace
Yes, of course... but the effect of grace depends on you
We Love You Jesus
So then, look at yourself
All depends on you
Thank You Jesus
For if it depends on Him, He would have forced you already
Thus, there's nothing more important for our spiritual growth
But for us to crave, 1 Peter 2:2
Pure spiritual milk
Meaning a pure teaching
We have already said that all church doctrines are false
Or they are largely untrue
With a small dose of truth, which does not even count, in such a proportion
Then you must crave for the pure truth
Or the shining light clearly pointing the path you must walk
Meaning.. this now is the version of the already mentioned
In relation to which... the truth
You must change your will and your way of thinking
And thus you walk in the truth
To think what's true and to act accordingly
Or else there's no progress
That is, you're not walking but jumping in place
And most are pacing in one place
How do we know they are pacing in place?
Well they do not progress
That's pacing in place
Thank You Jesus
Or regressing
Generally, there's no pacing in place
It's an illusion; there's going forth, or going back
Thank You Jesus... we Love You
Jesus, we Love You and we'll Love You even more
So, to walk in the truth
So, to look at yourself in the light of the truth
And change
As far as your own thinking is concerned
This is called a renewal of the mind
And then force yourself
That our distorted will
We said, the real man, the fallen nature
Comply itself with our understanding that was renewed by the Word of God
This is how the revival of the soul is occurring
And we grow to salvation
Which is the same as deliverance, healing... and all the rest
This is how the promised land is conquered
We Love You Jesus
Therefore, our today's topic
Is observation, re-examination, or criticism
Of oneself, own thoughts
Own feelings, or the expressions of will
In the light of God's Word
It was given us for this
For the purpose of changing our way of thinking
In the first place.. this is how a man changes
This is why people do not change
Because their mind has not been renewed
Because they are in falsities
Satan's main weapon is untruth
For only truth will set you free, John 8:31, 32
And, I have said this many times
Even though the truth is not the most important and it is not the first
Love is the first and the most important
On earth where there's non-Love, where people are fallen beings
The most important is the truth
Thank You Jesus
We Love You Jesus
The most important is the truth
Because the truth, and truth alone, is renewing the mind
So that the corrupt will can change
Once it is willing
Otherwise it is not willing but the circumstances crush it
And torments, and suffering, and defeats
And so the fallen being learns the hardest way
And wants to change
To save himself from further unpleasantness, torments, suffering and pain
Did you understand?
And in that condition, all broken, and defeated, and humiliated
He could have done better
This way or the other, it comes to this: he should change
And then he must renew his mind
In the light of understanding, he must perceive his wickedness
And make a decision to change
For what he should make an effort
And that is why it says, in Matthew 11:12
That the kingdom of heaven, or the kingdom of God
Or the divine Love in our hearts
Is achieved and won by force
Did you understand this?
This is how you change
Or else you stay the same, that is you regress
With great danger that you will live your earthly life in vain, like majority does
Did you understand?
So, I will repeat this
If your pastor, primarily for you who are watching
Or your priest does not obviously progress in half a year
It means he's not changing, he's on the wrong path
He must be growing stronger, more and more Christ like
His sermons must be all the more powerful
He must increasingly awaken you
This means he is on the path and he can show you the way
Or else he talks about things he does not understand
And stay away from him
Because it is a form of godliness but there's no power
Have nothing to do with it, 2 Timothy 3:5
Did you understand?
For it is very important into whose hands you surrender your soul to guide you
And if the blind leads you, and such man is blind
For if he wasn't blind he would progress
Obviously to himself and to others
And the gifts would have been present through him
If the gifts are not present through the priest or the pastor
It means he is dead
There's nothing he can teach you, he has no Spirit of Christ
He's empty and hollow
For where the spirit of Christ is, there are the gifts and power
O, Jesus... do you understand this?
It means he does not know this
And he cannot teach you
And that you are in the hands of a blind shepherd
And you are in danger of perishing
Matthew 15:14
I want you all to know this
Because it's the most important thing: salvation and deliverance
And the eternity for the souls
Amen
Let's pray now for I can tell that engines started to overheat already
Thank You Jesus
Jesus, do help us
Jesus, do bless us with Your holly presence
Open the eyes of our hearts so we may understand these important truths
And give us strength, Jesus, to be doers of the Word
And by doing so, blessed in all we do
Thank You Jesus
And let the Word be mighty
Let it be like a flame devouring all impure
And a hammer crushing all untruth into pieces
According to Jeremiah 23:29
So that the Word of Your Truth, the Word of Life
Is implanted deep into the heart
Thank You Jesus, and bring the desired magnificent fruit of revival
Or, the change of the soul back into Love
Why we live on this earth
And is also the purpose of our existence in general
Amen
Thank You Jesus
I will read some texts, we'll keep here now
Which visibly influenced my development
I know them from the start
I know them from the start
And this will surely interest you
I know you like to hear, and I also like to hear
And I also like to hear
It helped me at the beginning of my walk with Christ
When I read about Mohammad
In Islam there is Koran, and there is also a tradition
Then in a tradition, in the stories from one generation to another
You may learn about the life of God's prophet
For Muslims, Mohammad is a prophet of God
This helped me
It helped me to see how a holy man lives
It helps
This is why I started to write daily reports about my life
For I know it helped me
To see how people live who are in a complete dedication
And I am
Thank You Jesus
For example, once when Mohammad was preaching
A child started to shout and jump
And, thank You Jesus, it created a noise
It came to Mohammad, and everyone feared of his actions
He simply stopped, came to him and played with him
Until the child calmed down
He got him back to his parents and continued with his sermon
This helped me
Thank You Jesus.. we Love You Jesus
Did you understand?
Thus, I write about things that are very important for your earthly life
Thank You Jesus
For example, the color of my socks
Thank You Jesus
And my boxer briefs
For people like to hear about it... just kidding
For I know it helped me
I know people are asking...
They ask me personally: how was it in the beginning?
For my progress is obvious to everyone
Obvious to me and to everyone around me
How was it in the beginning?
I'll tell you exactly how it was in the beginning
Same as now
I was thrilled with the progress offered
This progress for me, is the change of the bad in me for better
Which results in me being increasingly better
How was it in the beginning?
Simply thrilled with the possibility of being better, and I am
And when you truly understand this
There's no better offer, thank You Jesus
I doubt that any of you wouldn't like to be better
And better, and even better, and never to stop
I am
And that's because of this
Because if this
therefore.. remember where we started
I know this will interest you
So, my walk with Christ, as it should be
Has started by me getting to know Him rationally
Rationally
Through the work of Emmanuel Swedenborg, at that
Who truly is a great servant
Then I truly understood what the Bible, or God's Revelation, is
And what are its depths
And what is the purpose of the revelation
And I got to know Jesus Christ rationally
But a true progress in my life has started when I found the revelation of Jakob Lorber
He was receiving by the inner word
What he was receiving was not the Pure Truth
There are errors
But there's a high degree of truth
In revelation 8909, through the Pure Truth, He calls him one of the greatest Christian prophets
Thank You Jesus
It is a high level of truth but it is not the Pure Truth
However, what came
I know that also Swedenborg speaks about it
But I haven't noticed it then
What came with Lorber in 2004
I have started in 2000
I have bought my first Bible, King James in English
Thank You Jesus, so I could follow Swedenborg
Thank You Jesus
But in 2004. when Lorber came, that's when Jesus Christ became alive
He became a true character
Not so much with Swedenborg
Not so much with Swedenborg
For there is a revelation received by Lorber
The Great Gospel of John
Where Jesus' three-and-a-half-year active ministry is followed
In a more comprehensive form than what is given in the Gospel
And He became alive to me
Truly, to walk with Jesus Who is so alive
And to listen to His Words and explanations
Thank You Jesus
And have an insight into encounters the Scripture says a little or nothing about
This truly enlightened me
However, the most important thing
I realized He is looking for devotion
That I must change
I realized there is much evil and impure in me
And that it is not possible to enter the kingdom of God if this remains so
I don't know about you but I get things quickly
I immediately realized... I pick up things quickly
That I must expel it from me, or else it will not be well
Thank You Jesus
So this is how it was in the beginning
Thrilled with it
Why?
When I pull out this bad, with His help
He puts good in its place
And I am better then I was before
And since then I am making an active effort, changing myself
We Love You Jesus, and I am ever better
In every aspect, at all levels
In and out, left and right, up and down
In service and in company
Obvious to me and to all others
It is growing and will continue to grow for I do not intend to change anything
It is because of what we're doing today
Thank You Jesus, people do not understand this process
Some expect a certain ritual will cleanse them, some other people
That they will bring down to them a few drops
And others think that with words, with prayer, or with suffering...
No, no... only this
Only truth
When you apply it in the right way, or accept it
Only truth changes, or sets free
O, dear Jesus
This is the walk in the truth
The walk in truth is the change of the way of thinking
By complying with the divine
We must comply with the divine revelation
For His thoughts are not our thoughts
While we are on earth, you get that?
When you are regenerated and one with Him
Then your thoughts are like His thoughts
This means that we on earth, Isaiah 55:8, 9
My thoughts are not
They are not... not
Simply.. how do you know?
I can see they are not, thank You Jesus
Compare it
How do you know something is black and white?
Well, I compare it. Look, this is black and this is white
And also... my thoughts... they are not...
His ways and my ways
I want to go right, He says left... they are not...
And yet, my thoughts and my ways do not lead to the goal
What now?!
I must comply with Him
O, dear Jesus
How was it at the beginning?
Same as now... thrilled
It's the change from worse to better
I know that you who are changing did not understand this
For no one is so crazy, not even the most evil people, not to want what's better
The worst evils and criminals
I know them personally, murderers, I know...
He also want what's best
He also want what's best
Did you know, he also want what's best
Everyone takes what's best
And the best for him is what he recognizes as the best for him
It is not necessarily the best
But the best is what he recognizes as the best for him
We Love You Jesus
Thank You Jesus
Did you understand?
So He is looking for devotion, giving up, dying, change
And that's how we change, or walk after Him
Meaning, we become like Him
We become like Him.. wise
And we become like Him.. Loving
This is the goal
And it is gradual
Not instant
It's a process
Genesis, Chapter 1 talks about this, we Love You Jesus
The creation of a man, pictured in the creation of the world
It is not literally true
From a dead man, of which first two verses talk, who is the face of the deep
And there's nothing good and nothing true in him
That is the earth without form, and desolate
We Love You Jesus
And from receiving the light, 'and there was light', verse 3
When you realize the light and darkness separate in you
You can see you are full of evil
You can see this is not what you should be
Then starts the change
And this gradual development of life is shown as the creation of the world
Until you finally become the image of God
Thank You Jesus
And that is: of the same quality as Him, which is your goal
This is a divine man
We Love You Jesus
The garden of Eden is then Chapter 2
Thanks for asking, this is what Genesis is about, amen
Gradually ... I said this so you may understand it happens gradually
The life develops gradually... gradually
First non living things, grass and bushes
Until the fruit comes at the end
For such are our deeds
When you are evil and full of unselfishness, you cannot be selfless
Your motive must be selfish
But, through your selfish motive, He motivates you to do good
Until good wins you
And then good is what's guiding you, no longer a selfish motive
Did you understand this?
It's an image of the non living creation, at first
Later came these bigger and higher quality animals
And finally a man was formed
It's a process
I am surprised how great teachers teach
O, dear Jesus, because they do not understand the Scripture or the power of God
That a man, when receives Christ, is immediately ...
Of course, a practice shows, if you can't see it yourself
As soon as you receive Christ, you are amazing
O, Jesus... no, when you receive Christ you may see that you are nothing
Poor in the spirit, full of wickedness and filth
And there was light
Then you have the opportunity that the light and the darkness may be separated
And you may see that the light is good
And this is only the first day: night and day, the first day
We know that from night till day is not the first day, but the night
But it is written so because the night is the state which is worse, more imperfect
And morning is the state which is lighter, more perfect
Thus, from night till morning we have the change of the state
This state is the day
Since in the spiritual there's no days but states
But the transfer to the natural takes place in correspondences
Just so you know
So, this is how it was at the beginning
I realized that Jesus came to show the way
That I must follow the path
And that it means the change
That it is an inner path
And that I must mirror myself in Him
And that I must adopt His way of life
And adopt divine virtues, or characteristics
Which I do not have
Maybe you were born perfect, but I know I did not
Thank You Jesus
We Love You Jesus
Thank You Jesus
However, majority does not progress simply because they don't know and don't understand this
Thus, one of the texts of Jakob Lorber that left me with a deep impact
It is also on the Academy web site
We Love You Jesus
We read from the Great Gospel of John, Chapter 5
Book 5, Chapter 125
It's called: Get to know yourself
Get to know yourself
If we would really get to know ourselves in the light of the truth
We would see how much we need to change
Thank You Jesus .. we Love You Jesus
This is what we'll learn today
Everything we said, we must see in this way
To look at ourselves in this light
To see divine qualities
Thank You Jesus
To take a look at ourselves to see if we have it and how much
And to make an effort to become
This is why we are on earth
This is the walk with Christ
Only in this way a man changes becoming more perfect
Which is the purpose of our existence, not only here but in general
So, listen... Jesus says:
Now someone says, how do you know Jesus said this
Thank You Jesus, say a prayer and let Him put it in your heart
'Make every effort...'
Listen to this
'.. check everything to see...'
There's no progress without this
Not that you examine someone else
Thank You Jesus
'.. whether you have forgotten something ..'
Or maybe you haven't seen
'.. so that in the end ...'
The end of your life
'.. you will not have to say:
Look here, I have now done everything for a full ten or twenty years
that the divine teaching directed me to do
yet I am still in the same spot ...'
I repeat
Christian walk is a spiritual growth
And if you are not growing
It means you are doing it wrong
In regards to your thinking and acting
And the enemy bounds you
This is also true for your leaders
If the gifts of the Spirit are not manifested through them
That's because they have no Spirit
If they do not have the Spirit of Christ
Romans 8:9
They do not have Christ, they have a wrong spirit
Does this sound logical to you?
Thank You Jesus ... we Love You Jesus
That's why their sermons are empty
Thank You Jesus... boring
And that's why people around them do not progress
Thank You Jesus ... we Love You Jesus
Ok
'.. so that in the end you will not have to say: ...'
The end of what?
Thank You Jesus, of life
'Look here, I have now done everything for a full ten or twenty years
that the divine teaching directed me to do
yet I am still in the same spot...'
I am not
I am not saying this to say I am better
No, I must look at myself
Look at yourself
Because if you do not progress ... something is wrong with me
I don't do this to impress you
And you shouldn't do it to impress me
But you should do in the awareness of why you are here
Thank You Jesus
'.. so that in the end you will not have to say:
I have now done everything for a full ten or twenty years
that the divine teaching directed me to do ..'
I would say like this: all that the church taught me
You know how they say: I did everything
Great, thank You Jesus
How does it reflect on you?
Are the fruits here?
Do you understand me?
Christian life is growth
Read Ephesians, we Love You Jesus, 4
Verses 11 - 13
Why the services were raised, and what is their purpose
And you will see that He expects us to grow up, a correct translation
To the level of maturity we see in Christ
This is a correct translation from Greek
To the level of maturity shown in Christ Jesus
We must grow up
Thank You Jesus... we Love You Jesus
If you, on the one who leads you, do not see that he is growing up
Then he does not know how to lead you
Meaning, he does not know where he's going
Then the blind leads you
Thank You Jesus, stay away from him
Thank You Jesus
It is too serious what will happen with your soul in eternity
To allow a blind leader, who does not know where he's going
To lead you
'Look here, I have now done everything for a full ten or twenty years
that the divine teaching directed me to do..'
And what they told me I should do to become, but I did not become
We Love You Jesus
'.. yet I am still in the same spot ...'
It must dawn on you that something's wrong
I always use this image
People from Split will get it
Since there's 10 to 15 minutes to Solin
Thank You Jesus, by bus
And if you get on the bus by the Civic Center
We Love You Jesus
And it says Solin..
You start at 10 in the morning since you have an appointment at 10:30am
It is 10:30 in the evening and you are not yet there
You must start thinking
You are either on a wrong bus, or your bus driver is not in his right mind
Isn't that so? You must start thinking
Thank You Jesus
We Love You Jesus
Thank You Jesus
Isn't that so?
Christ's teaching is to bring us somewhere
I Am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life
And no one comes... so you must come
Thank You Jesus... good morning
Thank You Jesus
And no one comes... so Christ's teaching is to bring you somewhere
To the Father, except through Me
'.. so that it would not happen
I have now done everything for a full ten or twenty years
that the divine teaching directed me to do
yet I am still in the same spot
or, I haven't moved from the same spot
and feel within me no special enlightenment, or grace...'
Either the Holy Spirit of God is not for all
Or I have missed something, somewhere
The conclusion is, you don't need a college degree, you missed it
Thank You Jesus
'.. and of a so-called eternal life I perceive very little ...'
Where? - In me
Meaning of a true life, of joy, of fullness
Right?
Isn't that so?
Jesus said: The thief, Satan, comes only to steal and kill and destroy
John 10:10
And I have come that the sheep may have... what?... life, and have it to the full
Zoe is the life in Greek... divine..
Vibrant... fullness ...
Where is this life? Do you feel it?
I don't see it in people
Either Christ is lying, or you're doing something wrong
'What is still lacking?...'
It's a good question
' That is why I tell you: ... Jesus...
You understand that in three years Jesus didn't say only what we find in four gospels
Did He?
Thank You Jesus
At the end of John's Gospel it says, we Love You Jesus
If all the books...
If everything Jesus said or did were written down
The whole world would not have room for the books that would be written
It means He said many other things, doesn't it?
He might have also said this, what do you think?
We Love You Jesus
' That is why I tell you: ...'... why?
So you do not step in place, thank You Jesus
And miss the life given to you for the change
' That is why I tell you:
Check yourselves very carefully ..'
What does this mean?
Is my thinking correct?
And is my acting correct?
Because it isn't
He gave you the Word to fix it
First, renewing your mind
Changing the way of thinking
Complying with His wisdom
And then, in the light of God's wisdom
A look at your will, which is completely corrupted
And then the power by the Spirit, once you are broken and awakened
Why is this bad for you
Broken, since otherwise you wouldn't
Awakened because you received a revelation
Then you force yourself to transformation, and this is how you change
So... 'That is why I tell you:
Check yourselves very carefully
to see whether some strong worldly thoughts ..'
Thoughts... you must check your thoughts
We will learn that thoughts are embodied feelings
Or, that our love, which is our true self
Manifests itself, or become visible in our thoughts
This is why we check our thoughts
Aware that they embody the feelings of our love
And show us how we are
Thank You Jesus
For example, I give this to all as a perceptual exercise
People mostly call someone
Because they have some personal interest, they need something
You will see that someone will come to your mind
Before you call him
Because he has something you need
And he appeared because he embodies the fulfillment of that desire
Do you understand?
And then you check, in the course of a day
Thank You Jesus
Who are you calling.. and you will see what you are
Or what you need
Did you understand?
Also, you will see you do not talk to someone if you don't need him
Aha
Good morning
Did you understand?
So then, check your thoughts
They have the life of your love
Thank You Jesus ... we Love You Jesus
Thank You Jesus
'.. whether some strong worldly thoughts
of advantage have not assailed your heart
whether temporal arrogance
a certain too extreme thriftiness
a younger sister of avarice
ambition...'
He's giving a kind of thoughts that will harm you
'.. sense of judgment
bossiness
salaciousness and many such things
will hold your heart and thereby also your soul captured...'
' As long as that is ...'
But people do not mind these, they hide it
They are careful to hide it
Instead to change it
And I am being careful to change it
And I don't care what you will think
Thank You Jesus... we Love You Jesus
Thank You Jesus
Did you understand this?
Thank You ... listen..
'.. and many such things
which will hold your heart and your soul captured...'
'As long as that is the case for one or another
he will not attain to the promise ...'
What? - To feel a true vibrating divine life within
Thank You Jesus
Because from the corrupt will of man
A corrupted fallen man is like this
We said that before
From his heart
And when your heart expresses itself you perceive it in your thoughts
This is where you catch it, by the Word of God
This is where you re-examine yourself
This is where you must barricade it
This is how all food is cleansed
He did not declare all food clean, because all food is not clean
To eat, in the Word of God, means to take the character by action
Not all is clean
Something will get you dirty
Did you understand?
Thank You Jesus
It's an image
So, Mark, Chapter 7, we have read this before
Listen to what he says
It's not the correct translation
He did not declare all food clean
But this is how all food is cleansed
To question yourself in regards to the Word of God
And reject every wrong influence
Or you do not accept it
You reject it, or you don't make it yours
Because if you adopt it, the force starts to affect you
It spreads and it gets stronger, and it will harm you
Thank You Jesus
We Love You Jesus
Look what is coming out of the fallen human nature
But people want to hide it, instead of focusing on it and changing it
That is why they do not progress
Until they change this in themselves, there's no progress
And the progress is obvious, on the outside
And if the progress is not visible
It means his heart is still like this
Do you understand?
For if it is not, his progress would be obvious
Because the Spirit would express itself
This is true for all of us
So then, what is it in a human heart?
You know that hear here is not an organ
But it is a human spirit
Verse 21 in Mark 7
We'll read to verse 23
For it is from within, out of a person's heart
We perceived this when it takes the shape of our thoughts
For it is from within, out of a person's heart
that evil thoughts come—sexual immorality, theft
Murder, adultery, greed
Malice, deceit
Lewdness, envy, slander
Arrogance and folly
All these evils come from inside
How did it get there?
Aha, it's Adam's fault
Or, why did God make me like this?
O, Jesus.. this is why the Pure Truth
All these evils come from inside and defile a person
Look, we are on earth to cleanse ourselves
And we have the opportunity to cleanse ourselves
Only when we receive Christ
For then we are unburdened from sins
The guilt of sin and the burden of sin
Not of our fallen nature
We are freed from the shackles with which we tied ourselves to Satan
And we are strengthened in our will, weakened due to the fall and filth
By the inflow of the Holy Spirit
Then starts the transformation
This is the path of revival or the path of salvation
Did you understand?
Thank You Jesus
We Love You Jesus
Did you or did you not understand?
Listen, Protestants usually use this when they speak of faith
In regards to healing
It's the wrong context, although it may be used then
For Hebrews 10:38 says: My righteous one will live by faith
But if any man draw back, My soul shall have no pleasure in him
If he draws back from the path of salvation
If he returns into sin, for this is the context
Listen... If we deliberately keep on sinning
Hebrews 10:26
After we have received the knowledge of the truth
The knowledge of the truth
Then you can sin if you do not receive the strength to force your will to change
This is the path of a Christian
You are full with evil and filth, but they think they are not
Thank You Jesus
We Love You Jesus
The Protestant doctrine of new birth is false and harmful
The soul is still full of evil and filth
Man is not a spirit that has a soul and lives in a body
A man is a soul
This soul is a fallen angel in many cases
Full of wickedness and indecency
A corrupted being
Which has a presence of the divine Spirit in itself
That of God, and it lives in the body
And when it is born again
Mentioned unburdening, deliverance and strengthening of the soul is taking place
Of the soul which is the real man, or, of the will and understanding
And the Spirit of God, which is the divine in a man, and not a man himself
Starts to work in new power, in a man
And a man can change
But he can draw back
O, Jesus
Do you understand this?
This ins the context of Hebrews 10
And not faith in healing, thank You
Do you understand this?
But if any man draw back, My soul shall have no pleasure in him
And many draw back
Listen to this
If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth
No sacrifice for sins is left
We Love You Jesus, Hebrews 10:26
I want you to understand this
This is the situation on earth, because we have an enemy
He affects us, he influences us
And he seduces us to distract us from the path
And we must be vigilant
And walk in the truth
Then we are safe
But people have no truth, and they fall
We must keep examining ourselves in regards to the truth of God's Word
Not to false doctrines but to the truth
This is why the Pure Truth
For it reveals him and defeats him
Then you must actively work on your transformation
For this is why you are here
Because you are full of evil and filth
Which you are able to see by what you're thinking
This is where you must block evil
And acknowledge it
And make an effort, with Christ's power, to change it
Then you develop
We Love You Jesus ... thank You Jesus
'As long as that is the case for one or another ...'
All those faults He mentioned... listen to this
'.. he will not attain to the promise
that is, to its complete fulfillment for him ..'
Thank You Jesus
'Look at the cider and the pure wine ..'
This is the image of soul's purifying
full of spirits... cider... in a keg or a skin
As long as the cider contains coarse and foreign particles ...'
That's why people have headache when drinking cider
For there are still unclean spirits there
And thus Jesus says through Lorber, that when you drink wine, in moderation of course
But when you drink it, it must be allowed to rest for at least two years
Thank You Jesus
'As long as the cider contains coarse and foreign particles
it will ferment
and not achieve any purity
but as soon as these are eliminated ..'
What is fermenting? - These are internal struggles
Six work days
Temptation... those are fermentation
The seventh day is a rest, when you overcame, there's nothing more to ferment
It's the image of Genesis... do you understand?
Thank You Jesus... we Love You Jesus
Thank You Jesus
'.. but as soon as these are ...'
Do you find this interesting, or should we switch to some other topic?
It's interesting
'.. but as soon as these are eliminated
it becomes more and more quiet ...'
What will..? - More and more quiet
What? - Cider... and you too
Peace...
When there's no evil which ferments
Isn't this great?
O, dear Jesus
'.. it becomes more and more quiet in the keg
and the cider clears and becomes pure wine ..'
The vineyard of the Lord is the house of Israel
Work in the vineyard
It's not going into the field and cropping vines
O, dear Jesus
It was Isaiah 5:7, we Love You Jesus
'Many a person is not far from attaining to the Kingdom of God ...'
We conquer it
Promised Land, Book of Joshua
Conquering is the killing of all evil in ourselves
And the destruction of any false doctrine
One are the nations that need to be killed
And other are the cities that must be demolished
Just so you know, it's the image of the internal process
Thank You Jesus, of cleansing evil will
Once the phase of knowledge changes, that is Moses
Into the phase of application, that is Joshua
And he begins to lead the spiritual man, which is our inner being
Thank You Jesus, represented by Israel there
Than You Jesus
'Many a person is not far from attaining to the Kingdom of God
within his soul ..'
For the Kingdom of God is within us
Luke 17:21
yet he will not attain it
if he does not introspect himself
or examine himself often enough...'
This should be every day
This is what it means that the Word of God is the light on my path
And the lamp for my feet
In relation to it, I am re-examined
Psalms 119:105, thank You Jesus
'.. if he does not examine himself often enough
and pay no attention
to see whether something material ...'
And I add, Satanic
Since everything in the world... not something... is not form the Father but of the world
That is, the master of the world
1 John 2:15, 16
2 Corinthians 4:4
You must be careful if anything worldly, Satanic, is clinging to your soul
For it poisons your soul and it draws it back
Or it throws it in the shackles, so it cannot soar
You must actively fight it and overcome it
And do not just sing songs and profess your faith
Thank You Jesus
Do you understand this?
And read the Bible, just so you may say you have read it
Thank You Jesus
Am I the only one her who knows about the parable of the mustard seed?
That all you need is one seed
Only one truth... when you plant it will bring forth the tree of life
And the heavenly birds will nest there
True knowledge of God's wisdom
One... one..
This is why I have the entire Seminar on a subject of one seed
For example, Matthew 6:33
That's one... I have planted it .. magnificent crop
O, dear Jesus
One
How many seeds? - One
Have you seen a mustard seed?
The smallest of all seeds
But when grows into a tree, it's higher than all plants... we Love You
It's small, tiny seed
Have you ever see a mustard grown into a tree?
I have
It's as big as a mandarin tree, even bigger
Thank You Jesus... have you ever seen it?
Thank You Jesus... we Love You Jesus
I saw it... I even touched it
Thank You Jesus
We Love You Jesus
Ok
'.. yet, he will not conquer it... the kingdom of God
if he does not examine himself often enough
and pays no attention
to see whether something material still clings to his soul
For He says, 1 John 2:17
Remember 15, 16...
All that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life
Is not of the Father, but is of the world
But listen... He says: the world and its lusts pass away
But he that does the will of God abides for ever
You must put all your effort in doing His will
He announced it in His Word
And you must re-examine yourself in regards to that revelation
Because the truth enlightens you
It shows you the way you are
You must admit it and make the effort
Then the progress ...
Listen... you are better
Do you think people can feel if they are more peaceful or more restless?
Raise hands those who think that people do not feel within if they are more peaceful or more restless
So we may immediately pray for lairs
Thank You Jesus
You do feel it... it means the progress is obvious
Unrest is a drawback, and peace is progression
Can you feel it?
And so you can feel everything
Raise your hands you who do not understand that a man can feel if he is more happy or sad?
Thank You
Can you feel it? - This is the progress
For it is the fruit of the Spirit, both: Love... joy...
Fruit ripens, doesn't it?
Love... joy... peace
Thank You Jesus
We Love You Jesus
Thank You Jesus
'On closer self-searching
he may find that he is still very touchy ...'
What? - Irritable
'.. and that his soul is still easily hurt by some trifle ..'
Remember, being easy flammable
It doesn't look like people are...
He gives the image of hot iron
All is fine, but then a drop of water and ssss... it's sizzling
Then you realize it's hot
Like when they say: you cannot tell him anything
O, dear Jesus
'Someone says: 'Well, is a man not meant to have a sense of honor at all?' ...'
Meaning that no one offends you, thank You Jesus
'Oh yes, say I, man can indeed have a sense of honor
but it must be of the noblest kind
If a man who is still weak in his spirit offends you
do not be angry
but go and tell him: ...'
For example, when a spiritually blind man
Tells me I am a false prophet
I do not blame him
Why? - Because he is blind
When people who believe in eternal damnation
Tell me I am a false prophet
I do not consider it
For only a spiritually blind man cannot see that eternal damnation is not possible
And he cannot offend me
Did you understand?
When a spiritually blind man tells me I am a false prophet
And I know he is spiritually blind
Since he believes in eternal damnation
And other wrong doctrines
It does not affect me
How can it affect you? He cannot see well
For only extremely blind people believe in it
Did you understand?
Thank You Jesus... we Love You Jesus
Isn't that so?
It surely is so
That's why I do not get angry
O, this is the guy who believes in eternal damnation
Poor devil
I immediately look how to help him
How to take him across the street without something hitting him
I do not feel threatened
Do you understand?
Thank You Jesus... we Love You
So...
'.. say I, man can indeed have a sense of honor
but it must be of the noblest kind
If a man who is still weak in his spirit offends you
do not be angry
but go and tell him: 'Friend, there is nothing with which you can offend me
for I love you and all people
I bless those who curse me ..'
We learn about it here
'.. and to those who do evil to me
I will, with all the power available to me ...'
And it is available
It says here: be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might
Ephesians 6:10
'.. I will, with all the power available to me, do good..'
'But.. you tell him... it is not decent for one man to offend another
therefore, leave that be in future for the sake of your own salvation ...'
You will be harmed
I always warn them that they will harm themselves
For maybe I am a true prophet
Then the Holy Spirit is at work in me
So then it is a blasphemy against the Holy Spirit
I must warn them, for it is the slippery ground
Do you understand?
Not because I was hurt
But you are obliged to warn someone when he's on the slippery ground
So he doesn't sink, so he doesn't fall
Thank You Jesus
'With your increasing tendency to offend
you could one day run into someone who would really take offence
and cause you great trouble...'
He now uses this, I use the other thing
Did you understand this?
You cannot get angry
Thank You Jesus... we Love You Jesus
We Love You Jesus
'If you speak thus with someone ...'
So now we're applying what we said
For someone does something bad to you
Actually he did it to himself, but he did it to you
And now you must react
Not in your intelligence and your corrupted will
But according to Luke 6:27 -29... isn't that so?
You kiss your enemy
Bless him, pray for them.. doing good
Isn't that right?
We Love You Jesus
He's also your benchmark... he's also your practice
He's also an obstacle, when you overcome it you grow
'If you speak thus with someone who has offended you
without the least grudge in your hearts
you have then completely justified the noble and divine sense of honor in your heart ...'
'But if you do not notice even a tiny type of small grudge in yourself ...'
The topic is to honestly examine yourself
You must examine yourself
There's no progress without it
And do not mind about opinions of others
Thank You Jesus
But you be honest with yourself
And always be aware that Jesus is here
And that He knows what's in your heart
And that you should try to please Him and not people
Galatians 1:10... isn't that so?
Thank You Jesus
'But if you do not notice even a tiny type of small grudge in yourself
and are bitter
and unfriendly to that person
that is another consequence of a small arrogance hidden in your soul ...'
Jesus wants to show you this
Remember yesterday
This Malchus is a scalpel which helps to remove this tumor of arrogance
It's a blessing
To pull out that anger
It's in you
He only pulls it out
When you get angry... it's in you
What made you angry... thank You Jesus
What made you angry is the arrogance in you
We Love You Jesus
Thank You Jesus
Where were we? We're getting there
We Love You Jesus
'But if you do not notice even a tiny type of small grudge in yourself
and are bitter and unfriendly to this person
that is another consequence of a small arrogance hidden in your soul ...'
Listen... ' which alone is sufficient enough
to prevent the union of your souls with My spirit of light in you...'
Remember?
Not like the Protestants teach, who do not understand
Thank You Jesus, many do not understand
When interpreting 1 Thessalonians 5:23 as us being the trinity of spirit, soul and body
Man is not a spirit who has a soul and lives in a body
Even though he is a spiritual being
But this spiritual being is a soul
It's a complete being
Which on earth is a fallen or non-fallen angel... mostly fallen
Now this soul has a divine life within itself
Or a divine spirit, or a divine spark
That gives it life
This is pure divine
And it has a body through which it lives in the world
Composed of the particles of other fallen spirits
As a counterbalance of the divine Spirit
And for the soul to have a free choice
One fights against the other, and the soul is in the middle
Galatians 5:16, 17
Now, this divine spirit wants to fully express itself
And the final goal is for them to become one
Father, a divine spirit
And this soul, which is the son of God
They must become one
Perfect one
And in order to become one, the soul must cleanse itself from everything that's opposing God
Because its nature, as the son of God
As a perfect angel, changed during the fall, into this not-divine being
Full of evil and filth
And that is why the Spirit cannot work in it
And the absence of this activity of the Spirit is this situation in people and among people
For example, the absence of the action of the spirit of light in humans
Is the false belief in eternal damnation
Do you understand?
People who do not see this are completely blind
Do you understand?
It's the absence of the action of the spirit of light
Thus we must cleanse within us
So that the Spirit may express itself in us
And to become one with the soul
And the more it becomes one with the soul
The soul is more and more divine
And it manifests itself as an enlightened thinking
Powerful speeches, powerful activities
And other divine abilities
And this is for us all... for us all
Because we all have the same Spirit and the same destination
Did you understand?
We Love You Jesus
Ok
And also the following text, thank you for your attention
You are a wonderful support today
Too bad we have no camera on this side, thank You Jesus
Again, The Great Gospel of John, this time Chapter 1
Excuse me, Book 1
Lorber received 10 books, he died at the end of the 10th
Thank You Jesus
While he was writing
So, the Great Gospel of John, Book 1, Chapter 224
Passages 8 to 13
We learned now that it is important to examine ourselves
And so the title
There's no greater benefit to a man like the occasional introspection
Or self observation
Entering yourself and self observance in the light of truth
To see what you are
In order to change
Thank You Jesus
' For truly I tell you: ... Jesus...
nothing is of greater benefit for the whole man
than a temporary introspection
or, looking at yourself
Whoever wishes to become acquainted with himself
and his powers
must sometimes search
and contemplate his within ...'
What does it mean?
His thoughts and his feelings
Or, his feelings in his thoughts
How? - In regards to the Word of God
It is also a guideline
And take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ
2 Corinthians 10:5
It's a guideline for Christians, isn't it?
And take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ
Why would he say this to believers?
Maybe because their thoughts are not obedient to Christ
If your thoughts are not obedient to Christ
And there are two masters
Then they are obedient to whom or what?
We Love You Jesus
If you're thinking wrong
And you think wrong if you don't think the way Christ does
And you do not have the thought of Christ
1 Corinthians 2:16
Then you are deceived
If you are deceived, misled, then you live wrongly and you are on the wrong path
Where does the wrong path lead?
Let's see in 2 Corinthians 4:3
But those to whom our gospel is veiled
They are those who are perishing
The god of this world, that is Satan
has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see
Where I concluded it is not something harmless
If you think wrong
We Love You Jesus
'Since this is so very necessary
we shall before noon practice this
and following the midday meal we shall go out to sea and see what will be happening there ...'
This is active service of Jesus
They were constantly on the move
He was surrounded with many disciples and He was constantly talking
It's not hard to understand that Jesus spoke all the time, is it?
'Some do not know how to go about... here we go...
this introspection
and ask Me .. Jesus...
what to do
But I say: 'Relax
and think quietly
or, sink into your thoughts
on your actions ...'
On what you did
Say in a day, or what you do
What you intend doing
When there would be no obstacles and fear of punishment
Or losing the material or losing reputation
What would you do if you could, and if nothing harmful would happen?
For this will also count in, thank You Jesus
So dive in into your thinking
We Love You Jesus
'.. and think quietly on your actions and on, to you well-known, the will of God ...'
Which one? - To Love like He Loved
This is a well-known will of God
'.. and whether you have complied with it
at different times of your life ...'
Yes, but I have no time, there's so much to do...
You will have time in eternity
Be sorry because you did not have time
Thank You Jesus
How? They asked Jesus
Relax and think calmly, or quietly
Dive into your thoughts on your actions
And, to you well-known, the will of God
And whether you have complied with it at different times of your life
'.. then you have contemplated your within
and have made it increasingly difficult for Satan to enter your heart ..'
' For Satan seeks eagerly ...'
It's this devil that walks around like a roaring lion
1 Peter 5:8
'For Satan seeks eagerly through all kinds of external meaningless trickery
to prevent a person from such introspection ...'
What does it mean? - There's always something more pressing
You always find excuses
Why not to enter your room and examine yourself
Praised be Jesus
Are you alive?
Thank You Jesus
So, whatever prevents you to seriously examine yourself
In the light of the Word
On which your progress depends
Is the activity of the enemy
Who, through various enticement
Thank You Jesus, or apparently indispensable things, influences you
So you don't find the time to work on yourself
On which your quality of life depends
But also your success in the world
For many people do, as we would say on my island, a job with no job
With their own intelligence
With no God's support
They are building a house it will never be built
According to Psalms 121, since Jesus is not in it
How do we know that Jesus is not in it?
It is not in His will
Thank You Jesus
We Love You Jesus
'For, once man has through practice acquired a certain accomplishment in introspection
he easily discovers ... Jesus says
within himself the traps Satan has set him
and is then able to properly destroy and eliminate them
and energetically take precautions ...'
Once you know him you are cautious
'.. precautions against all further deceitfulness of this enemy ...'
For he is the enemy
And the adversary
'Of this Satan is quite aware and is, therefore
busily occupied ...'
When you are busily occupied, that's Satan who is busily occupied
When you have no time to read the Bible
When you are busily occupied
It's Satan in you who is busily occupied
And you do not see you occupied yourself with a wrong thing
Did you understand?
We Love You Jesus
Thank You Jesus
'Of this Satan is quite aware and is, therefore, busily occupied
with engaging the soul in all kinds of diverting trickery
or those distracting
and then finds it quite easy, unnoticed behind the scene
to lay a snare for the soul
in which it gets so entangled ...'
A snare or a net, the same word
'.. that it can no longer manage an introspection
and this is very bad ...'
For most do not get to the point they want to read the Word of God
Let alone manage an introspection
For when they would start to read the Word of God
They would see how much they are wrong while reading it
Did you understand this?
Thank You Jesus
'Thereby ...'
When? - When Satan tricks you and fools you
And you have no time for the thing you are on this earth for
'Thereby the soul is more and more separated from its spirit ..'
It's the inner, divine element
'.. which no longer can be awaken
and that is already the beginning of the second death within man ...'
It is the sinking of a soul into the death of matter
For Satan managed to lure it and pulled it back into the matter
It's the image with a snake and a mouse
You are a mouse in this case
'Now you know wherein introspection consists
Practice this quietly from now until noon
and do not let any external thing disturb you ...'
Jesus is saying this
'For Satan will certainly not refrain from diverting you
through one or the other external spectacle ...'
He's an expert, and this is his area
Thank You Jesus
We Love You Jesus
'But then remember
that I have foretold you this
and return again quickly to your within.'...'
Amen
Ok
Thank You Jesus, I can tell I made you interested in this
Thank You Jesus .. ok
One more text, this time Swedenborg
Thank You Jesus
Also an important text
We Love You Jesus
Thank You Jesus
We Love You Jesus
Ok.. so now
What if we, in the light of the truth, look at ourselves
And discover we are not so cute as we present ourselves to others
What is the point of coming to ourselves
And to discover we may not be as much good as we thought
Thank You, dear Jesus, you must admit to it
You must admit to it
Repent
Make a decision to change it
Ask Him for the strength
And make all the effort to change it
Then you will change it, since He will give you the power
Quite certainly
Then you will progress
Which will show, thank You Jesus, that you are honest in your effort
Did you understand?
This is an exceptionally important teaching
Thank You Jesus
Don't let this skip you
We Love You Jesus
Thank You Jesus
We Love You Jesus
It is in the nature of the fallen being
To cover its faults in front of other people
Because its fallen nature is pride
And he can not stand that someone thinks
He is not as awesome as he presents himself
It would humiliate him
And he spends a lot of...
Dressing up and putting a makeup is a great image of this
And we use it often
And he uses most of the time to cover that up
Do you understand?
To spray himself
You have learned this already, and I can tell you from my experience
Thank You Jesus
That a stink is an inner stink
And those who cleansed themselves do not stink
They need no deodorants or perfumes
And this should be emphasized
Thank You Jesus
We Love You Jesus
Then Satan spends your money, you spend too much on cosmetics
When you should give money for the kingdom
And so you would be cleansed of poison from within, and you would need no cosmetics
Imagine this
Wouldn't that be awesome?
Thank You Jesus
Do you know how much money girls spend on beauty?
And on cover up
Thank You Jesus... ok
So then, in order to truly change this state
And save on money
Thank You Jesus, in favor of the kingdom
Where I do not think only of this mission
But also of those in need
At which point you enter the kingdom
Through the works of Love... that's what I was thinking
And not to feed the devil in you
Thank You Jesus
Through those many creams and cosmetics, and other folly
It's all from the devil, just so you know
If you haven't figured it out already
We Love You Jesus
So... Swedenborg, True Christian Religion
Chapter 532, to Chapter 534
We'll follow the lead of the Spirit
Thank You Jesus, it guides us well so far
I don't know about you, but I am having a blast
Thank You Jesus
'True repentance ...'
I give you texts which helped me to have all this grow
Remember... this helped me, I know this from the start
'True repentance
is examining not only the actions of one's life
but also the intentions of one's will ...'
And I will further explain, with which he agrees in his will
What he would do if there are no obstacles
Fear of punishment, of losing the material, or one's reputation
These are the obstacles
Or fear of losing one's life
Thank You Jesus
For example, someone would sleep with his neighbor's wife
If he wouldn't fear the other guy killing him
He would, and Jesus values his will
He is as good as if he has done it already
No matter if he has not
Since he would do it if there's no fear
Which is the external force
Did you understand?
Therefore, he must re examine his will
And not the fact that he did not do
People miss this argument
So leave a minute or two for that
People miss this, and it's true for everything else
Thank You Jesus.. we Love You Jesus
Thank You Jesus
'The reason that true repentance ...'
This is Swedenborg
'... is examining, not only the actions of one's life
but also the intentions of one's will ...'
Remember... first the importance of introspection
Then, how to introspect
And now, details of introspection
What do we examine?
We Love You Jesus ... thank You Jesus
'.. but also the intentions of one's will ..'
Or, I add, what one would do if there's no obstacle
Not within but on the outside
One would have done it, but the obstacle is on the outside
Thank You Jesus
'.. is that the acts are done by ...'
Do you understand this?
Thank You Jesus
Since we mentioned adultery
You know that Jesus used the revelation that was given to Moses
For Jews, thank You Jesus
And He also gave this revelation a spiritual meaning
We Love You Jesus.. listen what it says
Verses we mentioned many times, let me show you this
In Matthew 5: 27, we Love You, 30
We Love You Jesus, shows the process precisely
So.. You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery.'
Thinking not to get you in adultery
Do you understand?
It's an act
But I tell you... Jesus
O, Jesus... I love when it says 'and I tell you...'
For then Jesus' Words are following
Don't we Love Jesus?
Those are the Words that will stand when heaven and earth are gone
O, dear Jesus, Matthew 24:35
Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never ... no way... pass away
They remain
Why? - Those are eternal laws
That's why... thank You Jesus
But I tell you
That anyone who looks lustfully
At a woman
Not who looks at a woman
For it is allowed to look at a woman, or anything else.. at a man
And admire the Creator
Do you understand?
The most wonderful creation, thank You Jesus, is a human form
A woman's form first of all
Then, in higher spheres, it is an androgen form
Neither male nor female, but it is gorgeous, perfect
And it is allowed to admire it
If you're smart, you can admire it
So He did not say to look at, but to look at with lust
If it is only to look at, He would have taken your eyes
You would be with no eyes... do you understand?
One of the pleasures given to eyes is beauty
The other is symmetry
It is allowed pleasure, thank You Jesus
We Love You Jesus
Maja, are you happy with this lecture? Thank You Jesus
But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully
Has already, in his heart...
In which heart? - Maybe this heart with evil and filth
That is a fallen being
Has already committed adultery with her in his heart
Now he tries to hide it from everyone
While looking constantly... on the street or online
And then he wonders what's wrong
Did you understand where the devil is?
Thank You Jesus
Thank You Jesus
But I tell you that anyone who looks
At a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart
Now listen to this
Now Jesus speaks
Do you think Jesus says now that you should take out your right eye?
No, the right in the Word is will
Will
Will
If you want this
That's what He's talking about
Not to look at, but if you want it
That's what the right eye means
If you look for and want it, that's the right eye
You better take it out
You're off to hell with 'I want it...'
Do you understand this?
These are the Words of Jesus
These are not people's words
Thank You Jesus
If your right eye causes you to stumble
Gouge it out and throw it away
You must fight
And he wants to hide it
He goes into his room, online
O, dear Jesus
Thank... do you understand this?
Thank You Jesus
Thank You Jesus
If your right eye causes you to stumble
Gouge it out and throw it away
It is better for you to lose one part of your body
Than for your whole body
He's referring to your spiritual body, your soul
To be thrown into hell
Thank You Jesus... listen to this now
And if your right hand causes you to stumble
Hand is a performance
If you're looking for a way to carry it out
Cut it off and throw it away
It is better for you to lose one part of your body
Than for your whole body to go into hell
Many who pretend to be godly will end up in hell
Unfortunately, they will
Godliness will not save them, nor visits
To so-called holy places, and to so-called holy people
This alone frees a man
This is your pattern
This way, Matthew 5: 27 - 30
This is how you free yourself
Cut off... throw it away
Consciously
Examine yourself
Thank You Jesus
We Love You Jesus
Ok
'.. not only the actions of one's life
but also the intentions of one's will
since the acts are done by the understanding and will
The work follows
And in it is your will
Which looked, through the understanding, for the way to come to realization
You are this will, you are judged by your will
Even if you did not come to realization, but you wanted to
It affects you
'.. for man speaks from his thought
and acts from his will
therefore speech is the thought speaking, and action is the will acting ...'
We love Swedenborg and his performances, don't we?
Thank You Jesus
'And this being the source of words and deeds
it follows indubitably that it is will and thought that sin when the body sins ...'
The body is subject to them, or it is subject to their influences
'Man can indeed repent of evils that he has done in body
and still think and will evil ...'
Did you understand this?
He may apologize or repent of the deed
And still have the same evil in his will
And he will perish
Man can repent of evils that he has done
And still does not see it within as evil
And does not fight it the way we mentioned
And he will perish
Thank You Jesus
'.. but this is like cutting off ... here's the image...
of the trunk of a bad tree, and leaving its root in the ground
from which the same bad tree grows up again
and spreads forth its branches ..'
Isn't that so?
It is quite certainly so
'But it is different when the root also is torn up
and this is done in man
when he examines the intentions of his will
and puts away his sins by repentance ...'
Or evil that is in his will
More exactly
Did you understand?
When you examine what is in you
And see evil there
You have to free yourself from that
That's why you must repent, ask for the strength to give that up
For which He will give you the opportunity and strength to test you
And if you're being honest, you will overcome
And your progress will be obvious to you and to everyone else
And one of the most striking ... thank You... signs is
That you are Mirko ... thank You Jesus... and Slavko
Thank You Jesus
Meaning, you are in peace and joy
And you are praising, thank You Jesus, Him Who helps you in this deliverance
We Love You Jesus
'Man examines the intentions of his will ...'
Listen, this is important
'.. when he examines his thoughts ...'
For it is unclear, I add, and so does Swedenborg
It is unclear to truly grasp feelings of our will
But they can be clearly seen when shaped in our thoughts
Thank You Jesus
'.. for in these.. thoughts.. the intentions make themselves manifest
as, for example, when his thought, will, and intention incline to revenge
adultery, theft
false witness, and to lust therefore
also to blasphemy against God
and the holy Word and the church, and so on
under these circumstances
if he continues to direct his attention to this
and to inquire
whether he would actually commit these evils
if fear of the law and for his reputation did not hinder ...'
Or what we said.. fear of losing his reputation, but also his life
'.. did not hinder him...' we Love You Jesus
Or the loss of material possessions
'.. and if after this scrutiny he determines
that he will not do these things
because they are sins ...'
For the Word tells you what is sin
It must be because of this reason
'.. he truly and interiorly repents ...'
Thank You Jesus.. we Love You Jesus
'.. and still more when these evils are delightful to him
and he is free to do them
and yet resists and abstains ...'
He then clearly sees he overcame it
'He who practices this repeatedly...'
Meaning, again and again, or continuously
'.. perceives the delights of evil
when they return, as undelightful,
and finally he condemns them to hell...'
So he rejects them, and does not accept them no more
'This is what is meant by these words of the Lord:...'
Let me get to Mark
'This is what is meant by these words of the Lord:...'
Listen to this
Jesus says to them... Mark, Chapter 7
Verses 18, 19
"Are you so dull?"
"Don't you see that nothing that enters a person from the outside can defile them?"
For example when he sees a woman
"For it doesn't go into their heart
but into their stomach
It represents the process of digesting
Or examining what will stay and what will you reject
This is the purpose of the stomach
and then out of the body."
Meaning into the toilet where it came from
This represents hells
He explains the process of digestion of food
Food is what you will do, in order to make it yours and part of your character
Did you understand?
This is the meaning of food, of eating food
We Love You Jesus
This is important, so I take time to explain it
And you will listen to the recording
Thank You Jesus
You will make an effort and it will bless you
Thank You Jesus
We Love You Jesus
Thank You Jesus
So
'He who practices this repeatedly, perceives the delights of evil,
when they return, as undelightful
and finally he condemns them to hell
This is what is meant by these words of the Lord:
In Matthew 10:39
We quote it often
Whoever wishes to find his soul shall lose it;
And whoever would lose his soul for My sake shall find it
Soul represents will and understanding
This is what makes up our life
Feelings of our will, and thoughts of our understanding
This is how we perceive our inner life, isn't it?
'He that puts away the evils of his will,
by such repentance ...'
This is the Book of Joshua, conquest of the Promised Land
This is how you conquer it
'He that puts away the evils of his will,
by such repentance
is like one who in due time plucks up the tares sown in his field by the devil ..'
Remember, we are this field
Thank You Jesus... we Love You Jesus
For He plants the Word in our heart, you got that
But the Devil also comes and plants something himself, doesn't he?
Thank You Jesus
'He that puts away the evils of his will,
by such repentance
is like one who in due time plucks up the tares sown in his field by the devil
so that the seed implanted by the Lord, God the Savior
finds a clear soil and grows to a harvest ...'
It's the crop
According to the parable in Matthew 13: 24 -30
Now, this is very important, it's even more specific
And we have said this many times
And the thought in 2 Timothy 3:1-5 we read, begins with this
There will be terrible times in the last days
People will be.. number one... proud
Number two... selfish
Two hellish and deadly loves
And the main characteristics of a fallen being
They are arrogance and selfishness
We must notice them
It's the evil seed, an evil root
It's the snake in us
And when it appears, when it takes its shape in our thoughts
We are able to see its head
This is when we must cut its head off
We must crush it there
Did you understand?
Genesis 3:15, that's what 'crush the head' means
Did you understand?
But you must know your enemy
You must know how arrogance manifests itself
It wants to rule everyone and be above all
It expect everyone to praise and exalt it
This is the image it wants in the eyes of others
And selfishness wants to own goods of the whole world
For its own pleasure
And also for exalting over other people
You must notice this in you, or you shall fall
There's no progress without this
I systematically present details to you
Explaining what motivated me
Why is all this growing
Thank You Jesus
I hope you don't mind me taking my time
I am explaining this in details
'There are two loves
which have long been enrooted in the human race ...'
Swedenborg knows nothing of the First Fall
So we'll forgive him
It wasn't revealed to him
He knows as much as it was revealed to him
Thank You Jesus
'.. the love, or desire, of ruling over all ...'
To control others
This is first... this is pride/arrogance
Or to be god
'.. and the love, or desire, of possessing the goods of all ...'
'The former love, if free rein is given to it ...'
Or if not restrained
'.. rushes on even so far as to wish to be the God of heaven ...'
It wants to rule over everyone instantly
And you will also see it in your churches, or your church
Depending on where you will be looking
That there is such ambition
To rule
There's no such think with Christ, there is freedom there
There you have the leading by example of Love
Did you understand this?
You don't scare people there, and you do not control them
Just so you know
Watch who is leading you
We Love You Jesus
Did you understand this?
Thank You Jesus
We Love You Jesus
Thank You Jesus
Ok
'.. and the latter, if free rein is given to it
rushes on even so far as to wish to be the God of the world ...'
But to have all the riches of the world
This love, in the Word of God, is pictured as the king of Babylon
This is the meaning of the king of Babylon
We Love You Jesus
'All other...'
This is also important to know
'.. evil loves ...'
And there's a legion of such
And legion is a Roman military unit containing 2 000 - 6 000 soldiers
Thank You Jesus
'And all other evil loves
of which there are legions
are subordinated to these two ...'
Meaning these two rule over everything else
As a king in a court who has his subjects
It's an image
Like the king of Babylon and his subjects
Satraps and the rest of them
Just so you know
The king is the dominant love in the Word of God
The historical image shows the corresponding state of the soul, represented by this king
With this in mind it would really be interesting to read Daniel
And the king of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar
But this is not our today's topic
But trust me, it's a real adventure when you know this
Thank You Jesus... we Love You Jesus
'And all other evil loves
of which there are legions
are subordinated to these two
but to examine these two loves is exceedingly difficult
because they reside most deeply within
and hide themselves ...'
How deep? - It's the very core of a fallen being
Mostly all people on earth
Except for a certain number of non-fallen, who come on a mission
It makes the very inside of a being
Thank You Jesus
It is also interesting to watch, at a certain level of light
How people are unconsciously controlled, and they do not know
Through those two loves
They are deceived, and they deceive others
We Love You Jesus
'.. they are...'
Those two loves
'.. like vipers concealed in a cloven rock
which retain their poison
so that when one lies down upon the rock
they give their deadly stroke, and again withdraw
They are also ...'
Those two loves
'.. like the sirens of the ancients
who allured men by their song, and by that means slew them
These two loves also decorate themselves
in splendid attire ...'
Thank You Jesus... we Love You Jesus
Let's not get into details now
'.. just as
as a devil by magical hallucinations does
among his own, or among those whom he wishes to delude
But it must be clearly understood
that these two loves may be more dominant among the humble
more than among the great ...'
The humble refers to subjects
Not humble
Subjects ...
So it is not necessary for someone to be proud if he is a king
And that someone is humble if he's a subject
It is not necessary for someone to be proud if he is a VP
And humble if he is an employee
It is often the other way around
Do you understand?
It is not necessary for someone to be proud if he is rich
And humble if he is poor
This is the message... do you understand?
Ok... thank You Jesus
'.. among subjects more than among kings
for the latter classes are born to dominion and wealth
and these they at length come to regard in the same way as any other man,
a governor, a director, a sea captain
or even a poor farmer, regards his servants and possessions ..'
To him it's normal
'It is different, however, with kings who aspire
to dominion over the kingdoms of others ..'
Then, I add, it results in wars
Then it's a wrong love
Do you understand?
Thank You Jesus
We Love You Jesus
Ok... now listen to this
'The intentions of the will ...'
This is the real man, and will equals love
And love equals prevailing pride and selfishness
We must see this
Expose it in the light of the truth
And with His strength destroy it
There's no progress without it
'The intentions of the will
must be examined
because in the will the love resides ...'
For the love resides in the will
And the things we love we call good
Thank You Jesus
'.. for the will is love's receptacle
as shown above...'
Listen
'From the will every love breathes out its delights
into the perceptions and thoughts of the understanding
for these act from the will and not at all from themselves ...'
A perceptual exercise is when you are calling someone
Remember this and ask yourself, why do I want to call him
This is in your will, since you need something
Now, the thing you need may be of a selfish or unselfish love quality
You will evaluate it when you inspect your motive
Did you understand?
But you will see that you always need something
Think about why you didn't think of someone else
Because you don't need him
Why?
Because your will in that moment, or your love, desires
And spread it through perceptions seeking the means to fulfill it
This is the process
Thank You Jesus
We Love You Jesus
'From the will every love breathes out its delights
into the perceptions and thoughts of the understanding
for these act from the will and not at all from themselves
because they wait on the will
and consent to
and confirm all that pertains to its love ...'
'The will therefore is the very house in which the man dwells
and the understanding is the hall through which he goes out and in ...'
This is why Jesus gives the image with a house and a foolish man
Who hears His instructions but neglects them
And builds his life on untruths
And on evil... which is the sand
And the house of his life collapses
Matthew 7: 24 - 27 and Luke 6: 46 - 49
Thank You Jesus
'This is why it has been said
that the will's intentions ...'
We Love You Jesus
'.. must be examined
and when these have been examined and removed
man is lifted out of the natural will
in which evils have their seat ...'
What evils? - The love for self and the world
'.. both inherited and actual ...'
Inherited which is the fallen nature
And actual which you did yourself due to your fallen nature
Thank You Jesus
'.. into the spiritual will
through which the Lord reforms, or renews
and regenerates, or reborn, the natural will
and by means of this again
what is sensual and voluntary in the body
thus the whole man ...'
Amen
This is how a man is reborn
I will now summarize this
And we'll stop here... it will be enough
We will not read the revelation
Thank You Jesus, even though we have two
This will be enough
So, our fallen nature are inherent in all kinds of evil
Which have their source in pride/arrogance
And in selfishness
This is the snake in us
Which, in the snake's nature, is hiding under the stone
Thank You Jesus, although it has poison in itself
We must expose this snake and step on, or crush, its head
This evil...
It will heavily burden us if we die with it
And this is happening in the light of the truth
The truth of the Word, or the Revelation
When, knowing this process, we follow our thoughts
Looking at the directions of our love
Which, in the understanding, it is seeking
In order to fulfill its desires
And when we perceive a desire in our thoughts and intentions
We must compare it to the will of God
And everything that is opposing God
We must understand as the work of the Evil one
And fight against it actively
By recognizing this evil in us
By repenting because of that
By wanting to give it up
Never to do it again
Coming to Christ to ask for strength
And take the opportunity He gives you to immediately test your will
And with His strength and your will, overcome it
And thus progressing and renewing yourself
Becoming more and more perfect like Him
More and more loving
Purifying yourself from evil and filth
The reason we live here
Thank You Jesus
You were a great support
Not just today but throughout the entire Seminar
Thank You Jesus
May every seed be planted deep into your heart
In order to bring forth the desired fruit of revival
Be, thank You Jesus, diligent and zealous
Do not neglect going into your room and introspection
Your success depends on it
Keep in mind that you are not here just to focus at yourselves
But also others, who are in need
Thank You Jesus, of our bright example
Matthew 5: 14 - 16
To glorify Jesus with our words and in our deeds
To shine in the world like the stars on the sky
As the starts in this world that is entirely in darkness
This is our obligation
I do not know about you, but this motivates me
We Love You Jesus... thank You Jesus
Amen
