Resurrection of the dead
It is a day of the feast for the saints and martyrs . These were My disciples on earth and by the gate of confession they have come into My bosom full of faithful and fighting sons for Me on earth . Oh , sons of My people , the word of the blessing , which comes upon man by the faith in his heart , is great ! Come under the hand of the shepherds for blessing , for you knew and know the order from Me upon you .
… — Oh , Good and Gentle Shepherd ! I am the one celebrated on this day in a synod of confessing martyrs . I am giving holy power and zeal as Mine , too , I am giving to those who were and are Your today ’ s people , and I am telling them that all those who are Yours on earth , they are those who bring You fruit of disciples and confessors of Yours . This kind of work have those who are Yours on earth . Amen .
… Oh , sons of God-Word , be confessors , as from you very much is required , according to what it was given to you . Come under the mystery of blessing for that is which gives you power and not you . He who believes in God ’ s word , that one is under blessing , and he who does not stay under blessing , that one is not a confessor . Look among yourselves to those who have come out of blessing , as they have no longer confessed before men their faith in this word , but rather they have kept silent and been ashamed of God , Who shepherds with an iron rod over the nations of the earth , as it is written , rebuking gently , as His word is going now over the earth as fast as lightning ( See the selection topic : „
As lightning that comes from the east , so is the coming of the Lord 45 ”, r . n .) and it searches with its torch everything man has done in secret from God and it brings into the light the man ’ s work because man is a liar . Oh , love the Lord as He teaches you to love , for the love of God does not walk at random , if man has it , but it stays under blessing instead , if it is in man . Be for God , and be against His enemies and against the enemies of your souls and be strong too in the spirit of your faith and confession , for only those who believe are those who confess . Be awake completely , as those in the graves will stand up and will confess this coming of the Lord to you as the word of resurrection of the dead and the living . Be angels of the spirit of confession on earth , for the hosts of the fire of God ’ s angels will confess the Lord ’ s whole work with you , all the care that you have received from the good Shepherd over your souls . Amen .
… — I , the Lord , confessed by the saints , am blessing this coming feast and which will gather people at the spring , the feast of the angels . I am sending the angels to come into the way of those who are coming at their feast to protect it and to comfort it for them , and then to lead it to the spring . Here , I and My angels are going to speak to them and to all the heavenly hosts , which are coming with Me , accompanying Me everywhere in heaven and on earth , and I am going to speak to those in the graves and to give them power of resurrection , as I do everything by the word and I make them all new . Amen .
