2009.08.19. given you this land and I have planted you in it to rear a people from you, just as I took Abraham, and by his steadfast faith in everything I brought to him to work, he worked as I told him, for when I took him out from his land on to the land of My promise for him, I told him and I said this: «Get out of your country, and from your relatives, and from your father’s house, to the land that I will show you. I will make of you a great and eternal nation and I will bless you, and make your name great until you will be a blessing for many. I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse those who curse you. In you will all of nations of the earth will be blessed». (Gen: 12/1-3) And on this rock I built Abraham then, for I worked as I promised, and I worked for My church when I promised Peter that I would build My church on the rock of his testimony, and I, Jesus Christ, was that rock. (See the selection topic: „The true church”, r.n.) Oh, sons from the spring, how beautifully and obediently Abraham worked then, in such a way that he might be able to fulfill the obedience that I gave him before Me, for when he was well advanced in years he spoke to the steward of his house, taking his hand and putting it under his thigh as an oath among them, making him swear by the God of heaven and earth that he would not take a wife for his son, Isaac, of the daughters of the Canaanites, but go to his country to bring a wife for Isaac from his relatives, and he told him under an oath: «Beware that you do not take bring there my son again, for the Lord of the heaven, Who took me from my father’s house, and from the land of my birth, Who spoke to me and Who swore to me, saying: ‘I will give this land to your seed.’ He will send His angel before you, and you shall take a wife for my son from there». (Gen: 24/2-8) Oh, this is how I gave this land as an inheritance to My faithful people and in whom all the nations of the earth will be blessed, and it will remain planted here, and that will be My people, and on this rock, on this promise I have built My faithful people, which works as I promised, so that this land from the spring may be called the new land. Oh, My people, love does not ask for reward. It is that which offers itself, and it is not another one. It does not think at reward but at its works, which prove that it is and it is that which is steadfastness and which does not come back, and that is why I said that after their fruit you will know those who love not looking for any reward for their love and not envying for it or murmuring for it. Oh, it is true this parable which sprang among people and which speaks about Me and about the devil, who asked all the people from Me to be his, telling Me: “Lord, give me all the people, for all do my will,’ and I told him, “No, because I will turn them back to Me by all kinds of pains and hardships and I will forgive them by their faith or by their coming back to Me.” And then he asked Me again: “What will You do with those who are envious and malevolent?” And then again I answered him: “Those are yours, not Mine, I have nothing to do with them and for them.” Oh, My people, love is that which does not ask for its reward. Learn the way of love without any reward, son, because what it has and what it gives is enough for it, and if what it receives is not enough for it, then it is not love, for I told everyone the parable with the one whose entire debt was forgiven, and then he did not forgive those who owed him, but he rather started to beat them claiming their debt, and then he, as shrewd a servant as he was, was cast out, hearing the words of the right One saying to him: «You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt; shouldn’t you also have had mercy on your fellow servant, even as I had mercy on you?» (Matt: 18/32-33) 2
