However, by My stewardship I work at the same time with them, as in the time of My body on earth and as in all My times with man, and I could not dwell with man on earth otherwise, for I do not sit near those who are proud, as they sit on the chairs calling themselves by My name upon those poor in spirit. Oh, I do not sit next to those who are hypocrites, but I only pass through them and choose My disciples and set them apart for Me and through them I leave the seed of the Kingdom of God in the hearts of those who keep themselves clean and not attacked by the destroying and invisible spirit of this passing age. (See the selection topic: „About the kingdom of God”, r.n.) Oh, those who use My name, those who use the seats of churches and of shepherds of churches are so foolish, so foolish to the point that they believe that are saved more than the rest of the people under their guidance, but they only come together around their shepherds, because in order that the people to be shepherded is very much of a miracle! Oh, I did not shepherd the weary and those who were sick and full of sins that way. I healed them, I corrected them, I took away from them their sins so hard to bear, I atoned for them suffering cross and mocking, then I suffered death and resurrection, and only after that I gave them My resurrection and I promised it to them and theirs for My love of them, of those who were deprived of guid- ance and help on their hard and full of sigh way on earth, because there is no happy man on earth, there is no happiness on earth, but only its phantom and no one catches it, because it is a phantom. I am the man’s comfort. I am his happiness as well. Whoever has God in him, that one does not make much of anything: either joys, or pains, or wealth or shortcoming, but only the Lord is enough for him, and he who cannot do so, that one is condemned on earth, he is his own slave, not released from his bonds. Oh, My people, it is not so with those who are with God in them through joys and pains on earth, but they have little wings and their little wings are unchained and they have power to fly over from under any bonds and evils around them. God’s enemies could not destroy the apostle Stephen, for he had little winds from heaven, and he told those who stoned him to death, killing his body: «Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!» (Acts: 7/56), and then the martyr Stephen was released and went to be with those in heaven, and those in heaven with him, and My apostle said: «Lord Jesus, receive my Spirit!» He kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, «Lord, don’t hold this sin against them!» (Acts: 7/60) And when he had said this, he fell asleep and his little wings brought him before the face of the Lord’s glory, which he confessed before those who called themselves rulers and Abraham, Isaac and Jacob’s descendants’ and to whom Stephen said: «David found favor in the sight of God, and asked to find a habitation for the God of Jacob. However, the Most High does not dwell in temples made with hands, as the prophet says, ‘heaven is My throne, and the earth a footstool for My feet. What kind of house will you build Me? On the other hand, what is the place of My rest? Didn’t My hand make all these things?’» (Acts: 7/46-50) Oh, there was where the martyr Stephan went, helped by his little wings, after he spoke the judgment of those who unstrapped him of his body, flying then into the heavenly dwellings near the One he had longed so much after, Jesus Christ, with Whom Stephen spoke on the earth for the last time, and he spoke with his Lord, mentioning forgiveness before Him for those who prepared his way to the glory from above of God’s saints. Oh, My people, open the Scripture on this day and look at the spirit who testified through Stephen about My history with the people of Israel and their unbelief during all its time and of the last ones of those stiff-necked people, from its beginning and up to the day of the martyr 2
