“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding.

In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.”

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.

There is wise counsel in the Book of Proverbs, which is rooted in age-old experience: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart.” God speaks to man through His word, but also secretly through various life situations. It is important to know first when exactly I should trust in the Lord. Above all, I should trust in Him in the face of trial. I should also trust in Him when asking for wisdom in a situation that is unclear and not easy to navigate. Our trust is then manifested in prayer.

Testimony: More than thirty years ago, a young man visited a group of believers. They encouraged each other, and then one of the believers asked the young man, “Why do you have a crutch?” He replied, “I’ve had a motorcycle accident and my knee won’t work properly any more. Thank God it wasn’t worse. I have to come to terms with that crutch, get used to it. My sick leave was not extended and due to that leg, I will be receiving a partial disability pension.” One of the brethren suggested, “Why not pray for it? Perhaps the Lord will enlighten us on this.”

“God will bring every work into judgment, including every secret thing,

whether good or evil.”

God will bring every work into judgment, including every secret thing, whether good or evil.

This is the last verse of the Book of Ecclesiastes. Realize that everything you do is filmed by invisible cameras and stored in your soul, and it is all seen by angels too. Not only the holy angels but also the evil ones see everything, and will accuse you before God’s judgment seat. Modern technology with ubiquitous cameras monitors and records many human actions and preserves them as evidence. This human technology is mere child’s play in comparison with the spiritual principles and laws that apply in the spiritual world. Be aware that you are not hidden anywhere; God sees you everywhere. He even sees into your heart and examines your thoughts and feelings. Nothing is hidden from Him. He has given you freedom. When you do good, you show gratitude to God and His reward awaits you. When you do evil, God is grieved by the evil done, and He often allows suffering in your life to make you stop and begin to take care of your soul.

“Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter:

Fear God, and keep His commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.”

“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

These are important words; we have to realize that we only have true peace in Christ. He says in another place: “The peace I give is a gift the world cannot give.” This peace is connected with a living faith, commitment to Christ, and a clear conscience. A person who does evil and has abandoned Christ can only have a false peace and never a true one.

Jesus foretells that in the world we will have tribulation. Every man on earth has tribulation and cannot escape it. It arises from a number of sources: not only from other people or from the system of the world and a certain disharmony in it, but also from our helplessness and the fact that evil works in us. We ourselves are often the authors of our own suffering. Therefore we must learn to perceive material, mental and spiritual laws, and thus acquire life wisdom. But it is mainly the Holy Spirit who gives us the light of true wisdom and enlightens us. Many times young people can have the wisdom of the elders if, as the Scriptures say, they seek to know and keep God’s Word.

“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace.

In the world you will have tribulation;

but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

“Indeed the hour is coming, yes, has now come, that you will be scattered, each to his own, and will leave Me alone. And yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.”

After the words “each of you will be scattered”, the Greek original of the Holy Scriptures continues: “eis ta idia”, that is, “to his own”. The term “eis ta idia” is used once more in the Gospel of John to describe the moment when Jesus entrusted His Mother to the disciple. Jesus said: “Behold, your mother.” And the Apostle and Evangelist John, who stood by the cross and heard those words in person, writes: “And from that hour that disciple received her – eis ta idia – into his own.” We can say – inside himself. It required an act of faith. It was a spiritual transplantation of a new heart. We are the offspring of the first woman, Eve, who is in us along with the genetic code of original sin. In spiritual terms, we can liken it to a devilish spiritual mRNA vaccine, which injects a spiritual poison called sin. Every day we see how original sin works in us; this is the greatest reality.

“Indeed the hour is coming, yes, has now come, that you will be scattered,

each to his own, and will leave Me alone.

And yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.”

“In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days He has spoken to us by His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, and through whom He made the universe.”

As we read the Old Testament, we learn that God indeed spoke to the chosen nation at many times, especially through the prophets and in many other ways too. God also spoke by demonstrating good, whether it was deliverance from Egypt, passage through the Red Sea, or miracles in the wilderness, and He also spoke through various trials, and then through warning punishments, not only in the wilderness but throughout the history of Israel. Often the nation was blind and deaf, and then God sent upon it harsh trials such as wars, Babylonian captivity… God gave man free will, but the evil that man does brings suffering both to him and others, and therefore God punishes him, either here in time or in eternity if he does not repent in earnest. God spoke and rebuked the nation through the prophets, but the nation responded by stoning and killing His prophets, and their sons built their tombs.

“In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets

at many times and in various ways, but in these last days He has spoken to us by His Son,

whom He appointed heir of all things, and through whom He made the universe.”

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses,

let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles,

and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus.”

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus.”

The Word of God says that we are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses. They are especially spiritual beings, angels, who are witnesses of our life. God speaks to us through them, too – for example, a saving thought flashes through our mind in a crisis situation. Unfortunately, we often cast it aside and pursue the vision of sin. Therefore, the Scriptures encourage us to throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. Our life is like a strenuous run to reach the heavenly goal through various obstacles. In this run we are to have our eyes fixed on Jesus! He is, as the Scripture continues in verse 2, “the author and perfecter of our faith”, because He guides our faith from the beginning to the end along the narrow way of the cross until we obtain the eternal crown in the joy of heaven. We should be aware that we are surrounded by a cloud of witnesses – angels.

“Of sin, because they do not believe in Me;

of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more;

of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.”

“They will put you out of the synagogues;

yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service.

And these things they will do to you because they have not known the Father nor Me.”

They will put you out of the synagogues; yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service. And these things they will do to you because they have not known the Father nor Me.

Jesus begins this passage by saying: “These things I have spoken to you, that you should not be made to stumble.” Jesus tells the apostles, as well as countless Christians throughout history, that those who are faithful to Him will be persecuted and expelled from the synagogues, that is, from the official Christian community. Today we can see that the Church of Christ is occupied by ecclesiastical leaders, such as pseudo Pope Bergoglio and other pseudo bishops, we will not name any, who are like the vinedressers that Jesus speaks about in the parable. They have seized God’s vineyard and Christ’s servants, and even mistreated the Son of God Himself and killed Him in the souls. They have replaced the Son of God, who is the owner of the vineyard – the Church, with the Pachamama demon. God allows it, but ecclesiastical criminals will not escape God’s judgment and just punishment. In the present hour of darkness, these invaders and their collaborators form the public opinion in such a way that whoever kills true diciples of Christ will really think he offers God service.
