Oh , man cannot choose his way with God ; he cannot , but only if he takes that one which I have laid and sealed by the saints of My church , for My church is the church of My saints , of those who sanctify themselves for Me to be My dwelling place , and then together to be My flock .
Oh , pay attention to the word of My mouth on this day of Mine with you in speaking , for We are going back to the beginning of My church and of the way of My faithful ones ; and he who does not want to hear and to read the history of that time of Christ ’ s church , of My first disciples and of those left by them from generation to generation as those in the beginning , ( See the lives of the saints of
Patericon , Synaxarion and
Philokalia , r . n .) oh , he who does not want to hear , then let him not hear , let them not know this , for they are not pushed to believe , but are rather asked to remember that Christ ’ s church is not as man chooses it to be ; rather it is as it was established and strengthened on strong pillars once and for all and left to the Lord ’ s saints .
Oh , but who are those who were and are the saints of the Lord ? They are those who sanctify themselves for Him ; they are those who believe and work as those at the beginning , from where the faith and the man ’ s way with God started . Then the time has come when , by the Holy Spirit , there stood up with power from above the three great bishops of the Orthodox flock ,
Basil , Gregory and John , over whom the great work of the Holy Spirit and its great power descended , and they established good order for those who would be worthy on the way of the Orthodoxy with their life to God , and the Holy Spirit sealed this wisdom , descending and working a great deal over them , and He left the things that were taken from My things and announced to be established over the holy things and over the saints of the Lord . To these three great and holy bishops are added , for the strengthening of the church of the saints , the bishop
Nicholas , the bishop
Spyridon , the bishop
Charalambos , some of them are now being named in My speaking about the holy beginning of the work of My church , strengthened by the saints full of modesty and full of humility of heart and abstinence by their self-denial , as I , the Lord , require of those who walk with Me on the way , and they and many others like them walked having great struggles between My holy ones and the enemies of the right faith . And after one thousand years since the foundation of My church by My disciples , oh , the time of
the separation had to come , ( The year 1054 – the separation of the Catholic Church , r . n .), and if this time came , then I , the Lord , have remained with a little flock , because most of it chose its way , and it threw the dice to know the fortunes and to choose its own order ; however , by coming out from the obedience at the beginning of the church , its order has became variegated in such a way that , from time to time , it has taken place over the separated flock many other separations , ( The protestant Cults and neo-protestant , r . n .), until there have appeared many other paths and names of paths , many choices of paths , each at will ; however , I , the Lord , have remained faithful and wholly with those who have persevered in their walking according to the guide sealed by the saints for the spirit , for the body and for the walking of My church .
And behold , two thousand years have passed , and I am as whole as in the beginning , I am not divided , but I am working with the Father by the order that has remained and has been kept by the Orthodox church , the steadfast bride for her Bridegroom , ( See the selection topic : „
The Wedding of the Lamb 26 ”, r . n .) and that asks from the Father for the forgiveness
