Gospel Movie Clip | From the Throne Flows the Water of Life (2) - Why Is There Such Widespread Desolation in the Religious World?

 

Storyline:

Tao Wei was a preacher from a house church. As her church grew more and more desolate day after day, her followers all became inactive and weak-spirited, and her own spirit grew dark. She could no longer feel the Lord's presence, and Tao Wei was confused, at a loss. How had the religious world lost the work of the Holy Spirit? Could it be that the Lord had already returned, and had appeared to do work elsewhere? … As Tao Wei urgently sought answers to these questions, she longed more and more to attain the supply of the living water of life from God. She and her brothers and sisters sought out God's work

and appearance together, and finally came to the Church of Almighty God, where they began to communicate and debate with the preachers of the Church of Almighty God. … Will they be able to find the source of the living water of life at the Church of Almighty God? Will they be able to attain the water of life from the river that flows from the throne?

Introduction

What Is Faith In God | God's Word "Only He Who Experiences the Work of God Truly Believes in God"

Almighty God says, "When Jesus came into the world of man, He brought the Age of Grace and ended the Age of Law. During the last days, God once more became flesh, and when He became flesh this time, He ended the Age of Grace and brought the Age of Kingdom. All those who accept the second incarnation of God will be led into the Age of Kingdom, and be able to personally accept the guidance of God. Though Jesus did much work among man, He only completed the redemption of all mankind and became man’s sin offering, and did not rid man of all his corrupt disposition. Fully saving man from the influence of Satan not only required Jesus to take on the sins of man as the sin offering, but also required God to do greater work to completely rid man of his disposition, which has been corrupted by Satan. And so, after man was forgiven his sins, God has returned to flesh to lead man into the new age, and begun the work of chastisement and judgment, and this work has brought man into a higher realm. All those who submit under His dominion shall enjoy higher truth and receive greater blessings. They shall truly live in the light, and shall gain the truth, the way, and the life."

words of God | "The Substance of Christ Is Obedience to the Will of the Heavenly Father" (Excerpt 1)

www.holyspiritspeaks.org/videos/substance-of-christ-is-ob...

Almighty God says, "The incarnate God is called Christ, and Christ is the flesh donned by the Spirit of God. This flesh is unlike any man that is of the flesh. This difference is because Christ is not of flesh and blood but is the incarnation of the Spirit. He has both a normal humanity and a complete divinity. His divinity is not possessed by any man. His normal humanity sustains all His normal activities in the flesh, while His divinity carries out the work of God Himself. Be it His humanity or divinity, both submit to the will of the heavenly Father. The substance of Christ is the Spirit, that is, the divinity. Therefore, His substance is that of God Himself; this substance will not interrupt His own work, and He could not possibly do anything that destroys His own work, nor would He ever utter any words that go against His own will. Therefore, the incarnate God would absolutely never do any work that interrupts His own management. This is what all man should understand" (The Word Appears in the Flesh).

inside the basilica of a saint..... that i sometimes go to .... and it is so very calming .....

This is the north-easternmost aspect of the enormous rock formation called Holy Spirit, in Greek: “Hágio Pneuma.” The rock formation is 985 feet (300 m) high and a chapel was built on its top in 950 AD or in 1333-1334 by local shepherds or hunters, who were the first to have climbed on it. The huge cave discerned at the lower part of the rock used to serve as the monks' prison. It was raining when this photograph was taken under cloud-laden skies.

 

Greek Orthodox Church celebrates the appearance of the Holy Spirit to the Apostles (aka Pentecost or Whit Sunday) on the 7th Sunday after Easter (50 days after Resurrection) or on the 10th day after Ascension. This year, the celebration occurs on June 7, 2020. There will be a celebrating liturgy at this high chapel, where both the priest and the congregation will have to climb.

 

Holy Spirit is one of the many impressive and lofty rock formations whose group is collectively called Meteora: The sandstone megaliths' height varies 1,000-1,800 ft (300-550 m). The rock masses were formed 60 million years ago, are geologically unique and listed in UNESCO world heritage sites.

"God and Man Will Enter Into Rest Together" (Part Two)

www.holyspiritspeaks.org/videos/god-and-man-will-enter-in...

 

Introduction

Almighty God says, "As man lacks rest, so does God. When God once again enters into rest, man will also enter into rest. The life in rest is one without war, without filth, without persisting unrighteousness. This is to say that it lacks Satan’s harassment (here “Satan” refers to hostile forces), Satan’s corruption, as well as the invasion of any force opposed to God. Everything follows its own kind and worships the Lord of creation. Heaven and earth are entirely tranquil. This is humanity’s restful life. When God enters into rest, no more unrighteousness will persist upon the earth, and there will be no more invasion of any hostile forces. Humanity will also enter a new realm; he will no longer be a humanity corrupted by Satan, but rather a humanity that has been saved after having been corrupted by Satan."

The Words the Holy Spirit Speaks to the Churches | "Knowing God's Work Today"

www.holyspiritspeaks.org/videos/god-word-knowing-gods-wor...

 

Introduction

Almighty God says, "The work done by God during this age is chiefly the provision of the words for the life of man, the disclosure of the substance of the nature of man and the corrupt disposition of man, the elimination of religious conceptions, feudal thinking, outdated thinking, as well as the knowledge and culture of man. This must all be laid bare and cleansed away through the words of God. In the last days, God uses words, and not signs and wonders, to make man perfect. He uses His words to expose man, to judge man, to chastise man, and to make man perfect, so that in the words of God, man comes to see the wisdom and loveliness of God, and comes to understand the disposition of God, so that through the words of God, man beholds the deeds of God."

Here's some precious pictures I took back from July 1997- November 1997 of the sky & sun. I call them "Heaven's Door/Gate". They would even come out when I would take pictures of trees and almost level to ground. Many of these pictures for some reason cried a 'Oily" like substance. We have also found them covered in "gold" sparkles. I don't know why, but most all my pictures were doing this after our first visit from Audreys. You can even see the stains on many of them. How beautiful!! What I find sweet is that it looks like the "Host" is surrounding many of the doors! I just think they are so pretty!

Gospel Movie "The Mystery of Godliness" (6) - The Necessity for God to Do His Work Through Incarnation

 

www.holyspiritspeaks.org/videos/movie-the-mystery-of-godl...

 

Introduction

Why is it said that it is more beneficial to saving corrupt mankind for God to incarnate? In what can the necessity and major significance of God incarnating be seen? Almighty God says, "The flesh of man has been corrupted by Satan, and most deeply blinded, and profoundly harmed. The most fundamental reason why God's Work personally in the flesh is because the object of His salvation is man, who is of the flesh, and because Satan also uses the flesh of man to disturb the work of God. The battle with Satan is actually the work of conquering man, and at the same time, man is also the object of God's salvation. In this way, the work of God incarnate is essential. Satan corrupted the flesh of man, and man became the embodiment of Satan, and became the object to be defeated by God. In this way, the work of doing battle with Satan and saving mankind occurs on earth, and God must become human in order to do battle with Satan. This is work of the utmost practicality" (The Word Appears in the Flesh).

Introduction

Almighty God says, "I stand over the universe day after day, observing, and I humbly hide Myself in My dwelling place to experience human life, closely studying man’s every deed. No one has ever truly offered up himself to Me. No one has ever pursued the truth. No one has ever been conscientious for Me. No one has ever made resolutions before Me and kept to his duty. No one has ever allowed Me to dwell in him. No one has valued Me as he would his own life. No one has ever seen in practical reality the whole being of My divinity. No one has ever been willing to be in contact with the practical God Himself."

The Word of the Holy Spirit | Almighty God's words "Are You a True Believer of God?"

www.holyspiritspeaks.org/videos/word-are-you-a-true-belie...

Introduction

Almighty God says, "I have held man to a very strict standard all along. If your loyalty comes with intentions and conditions, then I would rather not have any of your so-called loyalty, for I abhor those who deceive Me through their intentions and extort Me with conditions. I only wish for man to be loyal to none other than Me, and to do all things for the sake of and to prove that one word: faith. I despise your use of sweetened words to make Me rejoice. For I always treat you with complete sincerity and so I wish for you to also act toward Me with a true faith. When it comes to faith, many may think that they follow God because they have faith, otherwise they would not bear such suffering. Then I ask you this: Why is it that you never revere God though you believe in His existence? Why, then, do you have no fear of God in your heart if you believe in His existence? You accept that Christ is the incarnation of God, so why do you hold such contempt and act so irreverently toward Him? Why do you openly judge Him? Why do you always watch His movements? Why do you not submit to His arrangements? Why do you not act in accordance with His word? Why do you extort and rob Him of His offerings? Why do you speak in the place of Christ? Why do you judge whether or not His work and His word are correct? Why do you dare blaspheme Him behind His back? Are these and others what constitute your faith?"

Easter is not about a bunny...it's about The Lamb!

 

While I do not believe that Easter has anything to do with a bunny, I do believe that God sometimes sends me little reminders about life and His bigger story that we are all a part of...

 

What do I mean by all this...well, here it is...when I first saw this Eastern Cottontail run out from underneath our deck and I ran to get my camera, the plan was to post a bunny photo on Easter (if I got a good one). And, as you can see, I think I got a pretty good photo...BUT...that plan was not fully thought through on my part! Since this happened a few days before Easter, I've had the first sentence of this post banging around in my head and I know it is from God. The second thought that I've had banging around is that while this cottontail is not what Easter is about...it is one of God's creations and is special in its own way as stated in Genesis 1:24 - "

And God said, “Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: the livestock, the creatures that move along the ground, and the wild animals, each according to its kind.” And it was so."

 

Sometimes, God just has to use any and everything to remind me just how much he really is in control..."For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." ~Jeremiah 29:11

Parish Church of the Holy Spirit and St. Ignatius

Excerpt from holyspirit.hsucc.ca:

 

Over one hundred years ago, a small group of Ukrainian settlers in Hamilton decided to organize a Ukrainian Catholic Parish. Even though their numbers were few, they worked with diligence and in the spirit of brotherly love. In two short years, they built a church through which they could carry on their missionary work among the Ukrainian immigrants in Hamilton.

 

The history of the Holy Spirit Parish can be divided into three periods: the first period from 1916 to 1946, the second from 1946 to 1990, and the third period from 1990 up until today. The first period deals with the pioneering efforts and shows us their strong attachment to their rite and to the Ukrainian Catholic Church. Even though these first years in Canada were very difficult, these first pioneers nevertheless laid the foundation for the spiritual development of future generations of Ukrainians in Hamilton.

 

The second period of 1946-1990, was a time of a new post-war immigration wave. Among this new wave of immigration were a large number of professionals who carried on the traditions of the pioneers, and, building on their foundation, strengthened the cultural level of the church. A new spacious church, a new hall, a school, and a residence attest to the fact that the post-war immigrants did not sit on their hands, but worked hard and well.

 

The third period began after the fall of iron curtain, with large number of immigrants coming from eastern European countries such as Poland and former Yugoslavia as well as from Ukraine. It is a period marked with many challenges and difficulties, the main of which still remain: decreased attendance and closure of the Holy Spirit Ukrainian Byzantine Catholic School.

 

A key figure in growth of this parish was His Excellency Bishop Isidore Borecky, who cared for the Spiritual welfare of his flock. In particular, great credit must go to all the parishioners of the Holy Spirit Parish who had the foresight to build and support a day school beside the church. This school has been in existence for 38 years up until its closure in 2013 and was one of the finest schools in Hamilton. Even though the day school remains closed, Holy Spirit Parish continues to teach children about their Ukrainian language, culture, and tradition through the Saturday Ukrainian School. This ensures well-being of our parish and, hopefully, some of its students may take upon themselves the role of taking our church into the future.

To light the way through Holy Week....my latest commissioned work, celebrating the mission of evangelisation of Holy Innocents' Catholic Church, Orpington, Kent.

 

A blessing, I was given the freedom to depict the faith of the church - and knew, almost instantaneously, that, through my painting with prayers, Jesus, Our Lady and the Holy Spirit would emerge.

 

In January I travelled to Orpington to view the contemporary 1970s designed church to take photographs and make drawings on location to inspire my painting; completed in February. I like to reach the heart and spirit.

 

The original oil painting is due to be presented to the church this month, appropriately enough during what are the 50 days of Easter.

 

Deep gratitude to devout parishioner and professional football choreographer Mike Delaney who made this commission possible; and the belief in my work of the parish priest Fr Victor Vella and members of the church.
