(IV) 8.Wicked and lazy servant!

Before offering you any pills-thoughts, we will tell you a parable-analogy. Without breathing (the Holy Spirit), without oxygen, a person cannot live. When a dead person is resuscitated, care is taken about oxygen (breathing = the Holy Spirit) and the work of the heart (starting the heart), the work of all the body’s systems… That is why artificial respiration is performed (mechanically inhaling oxygen = Truth and Love) and heart massage (mechanically inducing movements in the dead person (who has just died a few minutes (years, centuries, millennia) ago) that are inherent in the healthy functioning of the body. In a living body, all these movements-processes occur naturally, but during resuscitation, there are similar movements-processes, but their cause is not internal, natural (as in a living organism), but artificial, external, mechanical). And after a few minutes of intensive resuscitation (by the Grace of God), a person revives, “resurrects”! The process of proclamation is “resuscitation” of the dead, the end of which is the Resurrection from the dead, Baptism with the Holy Spirit! You ask: when does the proclaimed one resurrect, how long does it take to proclaim-resuscitate? It is not your business to know the times and seasons when the Kingdom of God will come into the life of each person, when someone will resurrect from the dead, accept the Holy Spirit, and become a Christian! We know one thing for sure: Resurrection happens only during the resuscitation-proclamation of the dead by the Church (a pagan: “baptized” or not “baptized-circumcised”)! Can the dead resuscitate themselves?! Can the proclaimed proclaim themselves?! Only in the Church does the Sacrament of Resurrection, the gift of the Holy Spirit, occur, only in the process of Christian proclamation-resuscitation does the proclaimed receive the Holy Spirit (see the process of proclamation and baptism with the Holy Spirit of the centurion Cornelius in Acts 10)!

During resuscitation (proclamation), the dead (lifeless corpse, without Spirit) with the help of others (resuscitators-proclaimers) performs (makes movements-processes) everything that is inherent in a healthy, living person – this is a necessary condition for salvation-resurrection! If a drowned person is not pulled out of the water (for example, does not stop sinning by deed), then what is the use of heart massage?! If you inhale oxygen and do not do heart massage at the same time – what is the use?! For the dead to “resurrect,” proper resuscitation is needed, creating all the necessary conditions under which the miracle of return to life can occur! Therefore, resuscitation is carried out wholly and under appropriate conditions – then there is a chance to save the person. The same goes for spiritual resuscitation – proclamation, the essence of which: listening to the word of God (the commandments of God, the will of God) and fervently fulfilling all the commandments of God! If you listen and do not do, or do not hear the truth, do not understand the will of God, and arbitrarily “fulfill” the “commandments” of God (selectively and filling them with your selfish, voluptuous content), self-proclaim, self-resuscitate(!?), there will be no benefit, only delusion and intensification of hell! So, the dead (“let the dead bury their own dead”), the corpse, to resurrect, must mechanically do everything that is inherent in the living (“Love” God and neighbor: fulfill all the commandments of God, live according to the will of God)! Until when? Until they come to life, resurrect from the dead, become a Christian, accept the Holy Spirit, and Love (with the Holy Spirit) everyone and everything! The proclaimed (who voluntarily, consciously gave themselves to the Church for resuscitation-resurrection), to resurrect (be baptized with the Holy Spirit, accept Love – in the time-known only to God), must ascetically, mechanically (in the struggle-feat of faithfulness to Christ in all small things, to which the dead is capable) do everything that the Living (Christians, Spirit-bearers, Christ’s) naturally do – perform deeds of Love (without having Love) – fulfill all the commandments of God (the essence of which is Love), to accept Love in the baptism with the Holy Spirit in due time!!!

To start (“resurrect”) the car – you need to push it forward, turning on the forward gear, not the reverse – otherwise, the engine will not start, and if it starts on the reverse gear (when pushed forward), there will be a catastrophe, it will become even worse than it was (earlier the engine did not start, and now the gearbox is also broken)! To achieve a positive result in treating diseases, dependencies-slaveries, the patient needs to lead a healthy lifestyle during the treatment (an alcoholic undergoing treatment for alcoholism must already stop drinking alcoholic beverages, not: first I will be cured, and then I will stop drinking alcohol!?). Likewise, one who wants to be Saved-Healed, Resurrected from the dead, accept the Holy Spirit, – must already (being proclaimed) mechanically, without-Spirit, by an effort of will (ascetically, with all his might… faithful in small things) not sin (fight the symptoms of sin, with passions so that they are within the law of God), and force themselves mechanically, obediently, like a slave, to fulfill all the commandments of God – the will of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit (Whom I want to accept), take care of virtues (which are the fruits-gifts of the Holy Spirit), ascetically (mechanically, by an effort of will) move forward (push themselves forward with the forward gear turned on) to Christ (The Main thing – Christ! The goal – Christ! The main thing – to believe in Christ, trust Christ, give oneself to Christ!)!
