July 12, 2025. Now I say to you personally, my dear little child: "You must worship God in Truth and in Spirit, because God the Father is...
Beloved,
One hot summer day, I and the 12 apostles left Jerusalem, because of the opposition of the Jews there, and the group went North to the region of Southern Samaria.
The people of the two villages of Arimathea and Thanma invited Me to visit their villages and preach to them the Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven.
After a few days, we went further and preached in Archelais, where there were Greeks, Romans, and Syrians.
Apostle Philip reported to Me that the Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven was not accepted in that place. These people said that this Gospel was for the weak and the slaves, not for the strong people like them.
I told Philip:
"I came into this world to do the will of my Father and to demonstrate the love of My Father in Heaven to his children on earth. The child does not always understand the wisdom and love of the father. But I tell you that my Father in Heaven rules the universes by the power of Love.
Love is the greatest spiritual reality, the supreme relationship. In the age to come, the Gospel that I proclaim to you will rule the world.
The ultimate goal of the Gospel is the reverent recognition of the fatherhood of God, and the brotherhood of men.”
“Who told you that my gospel was only for slaves and the weak? Do you, the apostles whom I have chosen, look like the weak? Do you see that I am enslaved by fear? Yes, the gospel has been preached to the poor in spirit, and oppressed of this generation. Moreover, the poor in spirit of today are the first to hear the call to repentance and acceptance as children of God the Father. The gospel of the kingdom must be preached to all: Jews, Greeks and Romans, rich and poor, free and slaves, young and old, men and women.
We continued to go north and reached the village of Sychar in the afternoon after a difficult journey in the scorching sun and the dry desert wind. Arriving at the ancient Jacob's well around 6 P.M., I sat down to rest, and the apostles went to the village to buy food. A Samaritan woman, named Nalda, came to draw water. I asked her:
“Woman, please give me a drink.”
“How is it that you, a Jew, ask me for a drink?”
She was surprised that I, a Jew from Galilee, was speaking to her, for the Jews in those days looked down upon Samaritans.
“I asked you for a drink; but if you understood, you would have asked me for living water.”
“But Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. Where do you get this living water? Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and who drank from it himself, as well as his sons and his livestock? Give me the water you have spoken of, so that I may not thirst again, and I will not have to come all the way here to draw water.”
Nalda did not know how to take my willingness to talk. She saw in my face the expression of a righteous and holy man, but she mistook my friendliness for casual intimacy, and she misinterpreted my words as a form of flirting with her. Being a woman of low morals, she had intended to openly flirt with Me, when I looked her straight in the eyes, commanding:
"Woman, go and call your husband and bring him here.”
This command brought Nalda to her senses. She realized that she had misunderstood my words. Frightened, she said:
"But Sir, I cannot call my husband, because I have no husband." "You are right, for although you once had a husband, the man you are living with now is not your husband. It is better that you do not despise My Words any longer, but seek the Living Water that I have given you today.”
“Sir, our fathers worshiped God on Mount Gerizim, but the Jews say that they worship God in the temple in Jerusalem. And where do you say that we should worship God?”
“All who are sincere will worship God in spirit and truth, for God seeks such people. God is spirit, and those who worship God must worship Him in spirit and truth.”
Hearing this, Nalda left the well and ran into the village, shouting, “My people, go to Jacob’s well and meet a prophet who knows my past.”
Then the whole village of Sychar gathered at the well, and I said to Nalda:
“Woman, go your way, your sins are forgiven.”
Now I say to you personally, my dear little child:
"You must worship God in Truth and in Spirit, because God the Father is Spirit. You cannot confine God the Father in churches, even though they are places of worship. God the Father is Almighty and All-Good, He is everywhere, not limited by matter, space and time. Whenever you think of God the Father, He is right next to you.
He is not in dogmas and laws. He is Unconditional and Eternal Love.
Please let me know You, and let me know myself. Know You to listen to Your Word, and put it into practice in my daily life. Know me to change my path to Your righteous one, to have Heaven in my heart, and You are always with me.
Please bless all those who read this meditation in my Blog.
AMEN.
