Diversity of Gifts

Dear Friends,
A reading from Saint Paul’s Letter to the Ephesians (4:11-24):

          
[Jesus] gave some as apostles, others as prophets, others as evangelists, others as pastors and teachers, to equip the holy ones for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of faith and knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the extent of the full stature of Christ, so that we may no longer be infants, tossed by waves and swept along by every wind of teaching arising from human trickery, from their cunning in the interests of deceitful scheming. Rather, living the truth in love, we should grow in every way into him who is the head, Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, with the proper functioning of each part, brings about the body’s growth and builds itself up in love.
So I declare and testify in the Lord that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their minds; darkened in understanding, alienated from the life of God because of their ignorance, because of their hardness of heart, they have become callous and have handed themselves over to licentiousness for the practice of every kind of impurity to excess.
That is not how you learned Christ, assuming that you have heard of him and were taught in him, as truth is in Jesus, that you should put away the old self of your former way of life, corrupted through deceitful desires, and be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and put on the new self, created in God’s way in righteousness and holiness of truth.

          I had a great experience a few days ago and it happened when Jesus woke me up during the night and asked me to go to the chapel of Our Blessed Mother. I spent over half an hour in a very special experience with Our Heavenly Father and He spoke to me. What great joy filled my heart that night. The experience will be written in the Newsletter at the end of the year.

          Below you will find the message of Our Lord, the Son of God, given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
          “Be renewed My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters and put on the new self which I have given you. Open your hearts so that I may come and live in your hearts and strip you of your old self and replace it with the new self. There are many Christians who are Christians in name only, as they live today dressed in their old self. They only follow their own ideas and they follow the wrong way, the way of sin. How many are still taken by impurity, by pride, by things of this world, and they forget about their spiritual life. Put on the new self and come close to Me, and stop all these sinful practices. Ask Me for the graces you need and I will give them to you. I bless you all.”

Unity in the Body

Unity in the Body

Dear Friends,
A reading from Saint Paul’s Letter to the Ephesians (4:1-10):

          
I, then, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to live in a manner worthy of the call you have received, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another through love, striving to preserve the unity of the spirit through the bond of peace: one body and one Spirit, as you were also called to the one hope of your call; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
But grace was given to each of us according to the measure of Christ’s gift. Therefore, it says: “He ascended on high and took prisoners captive; he gave gifts to men.” 
What does “he ascended” mean except that he also descended into the lower regions of the earth? The one who descended is also the one who ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.

          It rained again yesterday but the sun should come out today especially in the afternoon.

          Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words:
          “Preserve the bond of unity among you, My dear brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who have accepted Me as your Savior. I founded only one church and it is there that you will find Me as your one Lord, also the one faith which I brought to you, and the one baptism administered by My Church and all believe in the One God and Father of all. There is One God but there are three Persons in the One God, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. God has all power and everything on earth and in heaven was created by God. Every human being is a child of God and created by Him. You have all received the grace you need in order to have the strength to follow Me, who has now ascended into heaven after My stay on earth. Although you do not see Me, I am present all over the world and My power is at work. I call you, My dear friends, to follow Me and to do all that I have asked you. Ask Me what you need and I will give it to you. Repent of your sins and I will take them away, and I will give you the grace to do better in the future. I love you all.”

Prayers for the Readers

Dear Friends,
A reading from Saint Paul’s Letter to the Ephesians (3:14-21):

          
For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that he may grant you in accord with the riches of his glory to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner self, and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the holy ones what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Now to him who is able to accomplish far more than all we ask or imagine, by the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

          I had a great spiritual experience two days ago during the night. The Lord woke me up and asked me to come to the chapel. I went there and the Father spoke to me for a long time. He especially mentioned that great changes will take place very soon. I am looking forward for that to happen.

          Below you will find the message of Our Lord, the Son of God, given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words:
          “I want to dwell in your hearts, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who have great faith in Me. When I come into your hearts, I will fill you all with the fullness of God. You will receive the strength to comprehend the greatness of God and to live in union with Me. All this begins through faith in Me, Your Lord and Savior. As the Divine Son of God, I have all power and I want to share this power with you.
“Those who have the gift of healing have seen My power when a person is healed. If a person has not been able to walk for three years and you pray for that person’s healing, and in no time you see that person get up and start walking, this shows My power which is in you. There is the case of this woman only 29 years old and she was at the point of death. After praying with her and asking Me for a complete healing, the next day she was walking outside and working in the garden. All her problems were gone. What about a priest who has only three months to live because his cancer has spread everywhere. You prayed for his healing and the next day there was no trace of cancer in him. This is great power and it comes from My power which I gave to the person who has the gift of healing. Yes, I want to help every person, so come to Me or go to the person who has the gift of healing, and you will be healed. I love you all and I want you all to live in union with Me.”

          Father Melvin
