(V) 11.God’s Providence

Let’s say a few words about God’s Providence. It is not difficult for us to remind you again and again about God’s Love for each creature individually and for all together, and it is useful for you to remember, think about, and assimilate the Gospel Truths. So, we have said that it is not the world that needs to be changed, but oneself, living in this world. And this world is a madhouse (hospital; this world, which in its essence is “very good, beautiful,” the Father God-Love re-equipped after the catastrophe of the fall (madness, falling away from God) of His children into a polyclinic), in which the Father-Love prepares each of His beloved children (each person, whom He divinely loves every moment) for the operation of salvation-healing, for the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

The Father warned, cautioned His child (whom He created in His image, to whom He gave free will) not to eat the fruits from one tree, because this tree is very tall (with pride), and if you fall from it (from the entire height of pride-egoism-self-deification-self…), you will die. The child did not listen to the Father (Love) and climbed this tree and fell (crashed) from it into this world, and upon falling, hit its head (mind, spirit, hypostasis) hard on the ground and went mad (lost its mind, becoming free from God, from Life, became dead, that is, godless, losing the Holy Spirit).

The Loving Father (God-Love) placed (expelled from Paradise into this world, which He re-equipped into a hospital, subjecting all creation to a state corresponding to the state of a sick person) His child into a madhouse (not a simple one, but a VIP-hospital for the insane, with the best conditions for treatment and living), Himself treating, preparing for the operation-transplantation-salvation (this preparation lasted (and still lasts!) from the fall of Adam to the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary (to the personal Pentecost of each person, their baptism by the Holy Spirit)). And when the children were ready for the operation – enlivening, spiritualization, deification, and since there was nothing alive in people, each “organ,” each “cell” destroyed by sin, death, decay – there was nothing to treat (patching old, worn-out, decayed clothes is a futile task! Or pour New Wine of the Holy Spirit into old, torn, broken wineskins?!), it was necessary to change everything, absolutely all human nature to healthy Healed-Saved (Resurrected) Body. (Once again, let’s emphasize: the whole body, not just some organ or system, each “cell,” each “atom” of human nature, the entire psycho-somatics had to be replaced, transplanted). Therefore, for the sake of saving the children, the Father gave them a Donor – His Beloved, Only Begotten Son, Who voluntarily gave Himself (His Body (His Wholeness, all of Himself) and His Blood (His Life)) to each person. First, the Donor was killed on the Cross (His Body, which He voluntarily gave, was taken, which (Resurrected and full of the Holy Spirit) is transplanted to each believer in the operation-transplantation of Baptism). The Donor’s Body of Resurrection is enough for everyone who wants (will want) to be healthy! (In the hospitals of this age, there is a shortage of organs for transplantation, a lack of donor blood; in the Church, everyone who wants – has more than enough of everything, everything is done and given as a gift, by grace!)…

This excursion into the history of salvation was made to remind that although this world is insane (lies in evil), it is a madhouse (hospital), in which the Head and Chief Doctor (Healer-Savior) is God-Love, He is also the Father of the patients (each person) of this madhouse, Who cares every moment (Divinely Loves) for each patient of this hospital (madhouse), for each of His (!) child! (Don’t forget: the name of each person is “The one who is Loved by God!”). The Father (God-Love) is the best Doctor-Savior (Truth-Love) – He does everything for everyone as best as possible (every moment each person is in paradise, in paradisiacal conditions according to their spiritual-mental-physical state), prescribes the most appropriate treatments-procedures (…sorrows, troubles, trials, catastrophes… various “evils,” goods…)! Therefore, everything is always good for everyone (treatment is going as well as possible) – although externally (from the point of view of selfish ingratitude, madness, and blindness of this age) the picture may look terrible…

For example, let’s take the earthly realities of this age: in hospitals, you can see different pictures of the treatment process: here is the operating room – the patient is “disassembled into parts” (a terrible picture!), and the surgeon says that everything is going great (!?), that the patient is fine (!?); or in the dentist’s office, when two adults hold a child (who screams, cries, breaks free), and the doctor hurts… and at the same time says that the child is fine… Or imagine the picture of treating violent people in a madhouse… And the doctor says that everything is going well, that everything is fine, everything is going according to the plan of healing-recovery!… Therefore, in this world, everything is going well (for everyone in general and for each individually!). God is Love! The world is not ruled by the devil, but by God-Love (the Almighty, the Chief Doctor); and all others, and the devil, and demons (and their servants) – these are just subordinates (and patients), who perform only the good (loving, for everyone’s good) will of God-Love.
