Today I want to talk about the church and my place in it. This word was born as an answer to what God hears about the Church in Kokhma. And the Lord listens to us, as Moses also testified: and the Lord heard your words, how you spoke to me, and the Lord told me: I heard the words of this people that they told you. Friends, we need to understand that God is important that we are talking about his church. And these words "there is no church in Kokhma." The Lord does not agree with this and today I have a message from God, he says that there is a church in Kokhma! We do not understand something about the church, as it seems to me. We understand that the church is not a building, but if there is no weekly meeting on Sundays in the city, then we decide that there is no church. Friends, we need to delve into the fact that there is a church in general. Let's turn to the beginning of the church, to her first person: then Jesus said to him in response: Blessed is you, Simon, son of ion, because not flesh and blood revealed this to you, but my father, who is in heaven; And I say to you: you are Peter, and on this stone I will create my Church, and the gates of hell will not overcome it; Matt. 16: 17-18. At that time, the church consisted of one person, and the Lord himself testified about this! We think about the church as an earthly structure and therefore it is difficult for us to imagine that the heavenly structure can have a completely different species, because it has a different nature. But let's try to imagine exactly as it is written. Then we will see the church as a pyramid, deployed by a sharp end down and, according to all earthly laws, it must “fall over” by side, it cannot resist its “top” according to the laws of earthly physics and architecture. But God gives us a hint in the Epistle to the Jews and in the book Proverbs of Solomon, so that we believe and compare the principle of building the church. Heb. 6: 18-19: so that in two immutable things, in which it is impossible to lie to God, we had firm consolation, who resorted to the previous hope, which is, as it were, the anchor is safe and strong, and enters the inner behind the veil, where Jesus entered the forerunner for us, becoming a high priest forever. And Prut. 8: 23-34. It speaks of the prey existence of the wisdom of God, which is with the Sons of Human. The fact that we do not understand about the Church concerns not its earthly state or life, we do not accommodate, we do not understand exactly what is associated with eternity, with the eternal being of the Church, but we need it to this! We need to see that as the Lord descended from heaven, so the church descends from heaven and Peter was the first to “activate” his heavenly nature, having received a revelation about the divinity of Christ. And when we begin to see this picture “as a whole”, we begin to understand that the Church is not a meeting as such, but “inclusion” in eternity, a reckoning of ourselves by faith in the Church of the first -born, which the author of the message to Jews tells us: But you began Mount Zion and to the degree of God Zhivago, to the heavenly Jerusalem and the darkness of the angels, to the triumphant Cathedral and the Church of the first -born, written in heaven, and to the judge of all God, and to the spirits of the righteous who have reached perfection, and to the intercessor of the New Testament to Jesus , and to the blood of roaring, speaking better than Abelev. Heb. 12: 22-24. If we do not know how to “connect” to this “triumphant cathedral”, then for us the church will not be in Kokhma or in Ivanovo, and even in a large meeting we will be simply part of the crowd that today welcomes Jesus as a king, and Tomorrow can shout "Care away him!" Friends, our churching is determined only by the level of revelation about what the church is. Once Maxim the confessor said: “If the church is against the truth, and I am for the truth, then the church is me!” But today I tell you that if we, each of us, are not able to say “the Church is me”, then we remain only in the crowd and we can only formally be called the Church. Everyone born from above carries Christ in himself, everyone is endowed with power and everyone is given grace to live on this earth according to the will of God. If we alone feel flawed, powerless, unable to serve God, then we have gathered together “disputes, strife and disagreements”. This is the motto of the Communists of the “proletarians of all countries”, but we are separately, and even more so together, we can do a lot of good! Friends, we need to see, accept the revelation that the Church is a spiritual house, that we, each of us, are a “church in miniature”, and when we gather together, it happens just as God said in his word: You will drive away your enemies, and they will fall before you from the sword; Five of you will drive a hundred, and one hundred of you will drive out darkness, and your enemies will fall before you from the sword; A lion. 26: 7-8. Friends, if I have no revelation about my calling, there is no understanding of the power of God's word in my lips, then no collection will help me! The meeting, according to God's plan, works as an “amplifier”, but if there is nothing to strengthen, then the amplifier does not help. Let us imagine that what is happening with the Kokhom Church is not an accident, but God's fishing?
