for themselves into Your name only make use of Your name and of holy garment. However, You
have not been idle and established Your church, Lord, and behold You have a flock and You
have servants and You are standing into their midst as word and deed and You are setting
everything to work, and the whole work of Your church of New Jerusalem is strengthened from
You, for You are the one Who speaks by the word and ordains, as You also worked with us and
ordained us your apostles, and You asked us, the rulers of the church, for the things You worked
mysteriously over us and with us, making us Your workers and Your church, and then we, went
on working like You and from You, and Your disciples, from one to another, have been working
from generation to generation from us and up to this day, Your true disciples, and not any
disciples, Lord, for You told us then: «I will be with you to the end of the time!» Oh, how great,
how great the mystery of Your work with man is, great God! Oh, what great faith needs the one
who finds You working and keeping in time upon man Your work for man up to this day!
Oh, sons of the church renewed with you by the Lord, how wonderfully He works for
you! Seek to have great knowledge to value the Lord’s mysteries with you, for He has chosen
you showing great mercy on you and on the people and He will put you to the work of His
unfathomable mysteries, as He also put us then. The Lord was not working then as those, who
sit as servants of churches, are working now, but He was working in great humiliation, with
great humiliation for the ordaining of the apostles, not interfering while doing these with the
glory loved by man. Those who sit as servants of churches have claimed that they are our suc-
cessors up to this day, but if they were our successors they would be like us and they would
work with power upon people as we did, and we were those persecuted by the unfaithful, we
were those tormented, those who were in chained for Christ, those who were martyred for His
Gospel, those full of sacrifice for the Lord’s flock, walking humbly thorough the world, and we
did not sit on expensive chairs or had clothes with jewels and thread, but we rather had the
work of repentance and resurrection upon us and upon those who received us on behalf of the
Lord as the witnesses of His coming, of His sacrifice, of His resurrection, and of His entire
Gospel, and this was His Gospel: «Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens has come near!»
and this is how He taught us to share it and this is how we are strengthening you now to work
on the earth before the Lord, but first of all live fully repentant, sons, and this is how you are
going to become the Lord’s sons, the healed sons, those redeemed by Him and His first fruit,
those who stay under His cross to help Him under the burden, sons.
You, those who are freshly ordained to holy service now, take to your heart the wisdom
of the Lord’s Gospel and share it with repentance and humility. Love the spirit of repentance
and always stay in it, for humility is the fruit of this spirit, which makes it gentle and humble in
heart, as the Lord is. Oh, keep away from the spirit of judgment upon man and be healers, for
those who are judges fall into judgment, sons. We speak to you as heavenly fathers, as to some
sons, do not be ignorant of the grace that it has been given to you now, but be healers by this
grace, for the Lord’s church is in great demand of life and healing upon it. Search for the Lord’s
wills and remain in them, sons! Keep yourselves wholly in faith and keep your hearts away from
the spirit of those who are rebellious, as faith has to be well guarded, sons. Be witnesses for the
Lord’s work and learn to know the testimonies which strengthen in you and in many and then
the faith for the work of God’s word, and then all its history confessing in time and over time,
which strengthens the true godly truth of this work. Be the apostles of this work of word, which
renews the world by Jesus Christ, the Word of God. For us, those in heaven, the Lord’s whole
work of word in this time is our joy from the end and we gather near you in groups when the
Lord is speaking upon you His word of today and we are eating it. This is what you should also
do for the word that feeds you from the Lord’s mouth, for the Lord’s love, the love which you
