John 14:16-19 (NLT). [16] “And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, who will never leave you. [17] He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth. The world cannot receive him, because it isn’t looking for him and doesn’t recognize him. But you know him, because he lives with you now and later will be in you. [18] No, I will not abandon you as orphans—I will come to you. [19] Soon the world will no longer see me, but you will see me. Since I live, you also will live.”

Hebrews 13:5 (ESV). “Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

“Our Incomparable Companion” By In Touch Ministries:

“Because the Holy Spirit lives inside us, we are never truly alone.”

“Loneliness will creep into most lives at some point. However, as believers, we are never truly alone because God has given us an unfailing companion—the Holy Spirit.

None of us can truthfully promise always to be available; the realities of time, distance, and even death can separate people. Thankfully, by sending the Holy Spirit to live inside of us, Jesus keeps His promise to never leave or forsake us (Hebrews 13:5).

Human beings were never meant to live alone. God designed us to be complete only when we are indwelt by His Spirit, which occurs upon our salvation. We can, however, choose to ignore the Holy Spirit. For example, some people stubbornly attempt to live the Christian life in their own strength or skip Bible reading when they find meditating on the Word inconvenient. That kind of life is marked by discontent: Peace will be fleeting, and loneliness will feel like the heart’s permanent resident.

The Holy Spirit is our parakletos, or companion who “walks beside.” If we hold Him at arm’s length, we distance ourselves from the Father as well. But if we ask the Spirit to guide our steps and open our mind to God’s plans, He will support and encourage us in ways we never imagined.”

Prayer Ceremony for Transgender Remembrance Day

Introductory:

Holy Light, Holy Immortal, Holy Mighty One, have mercy on we who take recourse in you. In the name of the Father, the Mother and the Holy Child, peace be to all who take repose in this name.

Imploration:

O' Lord above the Aeons hear us, as You took pleasure in hearing the Prayers of Your Daughter, Maria-Sophia. Yes, O' Lord, hear us, as you took pleasure in hearing the requests of the Aeons. Make haste to help us, and send forward thy emissaries to attend to our prayers.

Reading:

In the Beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Gd, and the word was Gd He was with Gd in the beginning. Through Him all things were made; without him, nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

Imploration (2)

Heavenly Father, we beseech thee, have mercy on us and hear our prayers. We commend ourselves to you, and ask for your aid. Let the prayers of the Holy Maria Sophia, the Prophet Joseph and the Blessed Christ-Child attend to your throne. Hear us, O' Lord, and make haste to help us.

Surely your mercy and goodness will follow us all the days of our life, and we shall abide in your house forevermore.

Inspired by this, we pray:

Our Father, who art in Heaven. Hallowed be thy name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be Done, on Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day, our Daily Bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who have trespassed against us, and lead us not in the way of the wicked one - but through thy light, deliver us.

Prayer 1:

O' Heavenly Metropator, Aeons of the Pleroma, blessed Saints, Mystics, Angels, Powers and Wisdoms - hear us as we pray. We pray for the souls of our brethren, those who were born in Light by virtue of their being born. For it is said, O' Lord, that all things come from Thee. We pray for our brethren, who have taken many names, forms and attitudes, that their soul might be granted relief in this time - and so too the souls of their family and friends.

O' Lord, the shadows have sought the Light - and they have made man illusioned - declaring that one person is not worthy of love or that another is not of the Realm of Light. Yet, O' Lord, you are the Light and this Light Permeates all of Man. We pray then that the Light of the Souls of Our Brethren may find comfort in you and that we, at the end of our time, may join them in union with you, blessed forevermore.

Response: Eternal Father, we offer you the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son Jesus, in union with the masses said throughout the world today, for all the Holy Souls.

Prayer 2:

O' Maria-Sophia, Mother of Gnosis, Wrathful Zoe, we pray to you. To your breast, take those who have passed - for you are the Mother of All. Never was it known that those who prayed to you were left unanswered, for you are the Prophetess and the Mother of Life. O' Blessed Mistress, Despoine, by the pains that wrenched your heart in life, tend to the souls of the departed as mother, and to their family and friends as Parakletos.

O' Holy Prophet Joseph, who is without blemish, who is jovial and blissful. Have mercy on us, you who art the Protector of the Church Militant. With the Purity of the Lily, O' Father of Christ, shepherd the souls of our brethren to the Promised Land. Be to them as a Father, protecting them and guiding them. O' Father, Lover of Life, have mercy on us.

O' Holy Christ, Blessed Child, Father of Our Faith, you appear to the Angels as an Angel, to Man as Man, to gods as a god. So too, do we pray, appear to our brethren in kind. Appear to your children as father, to your siblings through the Holy Sophia as Sibling. Appear to those who mourn as comforter, to those who sought love as lover and parent. Appear to the wicked one as Just Warrior of Heaven. O' Lord of Heaven and of Earth, be pleased to protect your children

Response: Eternal Father, we offer you the Most Sacred Blood of Thy Divine Son Jesus, in union with the masses said throughout the World today, for all the Holy Souls.

Concluding Prayers:

Glory Glory Glory be to you, O Isus Hristos, Parakletos Sophia You ineffable Word and Wisdom that was sent to redeem us And descended into the World of Forms. Forgive us our transgressions, free us from Limitation And to the Promised Land, deliver us.

Glory be to You, O' Light, for you have delivered us. Glory be to you, who deigned to consecrate us to Eternity, though we wander in the Midst. Have mercy on your children, on the Gnostic Church, on all those who seek repose in your by your names known and unknown, to our departed family, shared in the Mutual Spirit of Eve, of Sophia and Zoe.

Kyrie Eleison.

So what is this 144,000? Who are they? I don’t actually think there’s a single answer to this but I do believe I’ve found one of them. Since the Bible, and the book of the Unveiling especially, speaks in symbol and allegory it’s only fair to say there are many possibilities to it’s real meaning. I’d say that the orthodox “understanding” of the book is the one that’s most incorrect. We’ll get into more of that later.

So let’s get to it. Most folks have heard of Chakras. If you haven’t, I strongly encourage you to do some homework. They’re basically where the universal life force energy plugs into your body. Whirling vortices of energy at specific vibrations are channeled into your vital systems via these nerve centers. When there’s a blockage, disease manifests. It’s really fascinating stuff. Anyway, these energy centers are represented by different stages of the lotus flower, which is itself a symbol of purity of the body. Here are the chakras and their corresponding lotus blossoms:

Making reference to the 144000 sealed men whose speaks in the Revelation (Apocalypse), this number is that of the election, 12, carried to its paroxysm: 12 x 12 x 1000, where 1000 is a coefficient of the immensity. In others words, this number indicates that all the elects, without exception, are kept under the protection of God.

Bible

Number of sealed or elected of all the tribes of Israel, marked of the seal of God. (Rv 7,1)

General

The 144000 petals of the main chakra or coronal (located to the summit of the cranium) represent the 144000 rays of light originated from all the seven chakras, or centers of energy of the body, deployed and balanced, or again the 144000 vibrations of the divine Creation which travel in the cosmos and that are source of life.

In the Gospel of Barnabe, chapter 17, it is written: "144000 prophets that God sent to the world, have spoken obscurely; but after me will come the splendor of all prophets and saint; he will illuminate the darkness of whole what have told the prophets, because it is the messenger of God". Some have seen in this passage an allusion to Muhammad, "The Seal of prophets" (Koran XXX, 40).

When we add the number of petals of the five inferior psychic centers, we obtain a total of 48 petals. By adding 96 petals of the frontal center (the place of the third eye where the small number must receive its divine mark), we obtain the number 144, symbol of the perfect and expressed spiritual work, that is to say of the marriage between the soul and the personality. If now we multiply 144 by the thousand petals of the coronal center, we obtain 144000, the number of the elects, who will be all these that will have waked up in them the seven stars or spiritual and psychic centers.

John Phaure advances two mathematics divisions which, according to him, are very revealing. As numbers he uses the 144000 servants of God "marked to the front", the number of the Beast, 666 and 216, a fundamental cyclic and cabalistic number (tenth of the one Era: 2160 / 10) that he interprets as one of figures of the Christ:

144 000 / 216 = 666 with a rest of 144

144 000 / 666 = 216 with a rest of 144

These results express according to him that the 144000 "marked" as servants of God before the advent the Antichrist are here the object of the eschatologic combat between the Christ and his Adversary. From this combat leaves "the rest": 144, those who will be the Elects of the celestial Jerusalem". He points out moreover than 666 + 144 = 810, numerical value of the Greek word Parakletos, the Paraclete. Thus the Holy Spirit espressed at the end of time "will be the 'glorificater' of the Creation".

By using the pyramidal inch, the external volume of the tomb of the Room of the King in the Great Pyramid gives 144000 cubic inches. The pyramidal inch measures 25.303 mm. By using this unit of measure, the pyramid would have a height of 5800 inches and a volume of 160 billion cubic inches, giving all numbers without decimal.

The external recovery of the Great Pyramid would be made of 144000 stones.

Occurrence

The number 144000 is used 3 times in the Bible.

The power of encouragement Part 1 Our biblical role models Our biblical role models Can you name anyone who has encouraged you in the past? What did they say or do to encourage you? To speak encouragement is literally to speak courage into someone's life (speak courage into). We give them the courage to believe what God says, even when it seems so far removed from their experience. Ken Boa says that humans can survive the loss of anything – but not without hope. Hope is how we live. Hope is what gets us from one day to the next. When hope goes, we start to die. One of the most profound proverbs of the Bible says, “Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life” (Proverbs 13:12). When we place our hope in the wrong things, one of two things is likely to happen. Either we will never make it to the level we had hoped for, in which case we end up envious or bitter. Or we make it to that level only to discover that it does not fill our heart. In that case, we end up unfulfilled and disappointed. ¨When things are bad Satan tells us –it will never end! ¨When things are good Satan tells us-it will never last! God Himself is an encourager 2 Thessalonians 2:16 May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, 17 encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word Coming along side to help In scripture both Jesus and the Holy Spirit are called the divine parakletos (an advocate- one who comes alongside to help, comfort and support. When disappointment or failure happen, a key role for the leader is that of keeping hope alive. When others lose their way and begin to despair, effective leaders will pour encouragement into the heart and soul of their team members. You will know when to come alongside someone. You will sense when a team member needs a quick correction or a shoulder to cry on. ¨Take affirmative action every day- affirm someone!

Nuestro compañero incomparable...

Gracias a que el Espíritu Santo vive en nosotros, nunca estamos solos.

Juan 14.16-18

La soledad se infiltrará en nuestra vida en algún momento. Sin embargo, como creyentes, nunca estamos solos porque Dios nos ha dado un compañero sin igual: el Espíritu Santo.

Ninguno de nosotros puede prometer, sin reservas, estar siempre disponible; las realidades del tiempo, la distancia e incluso la muerte pueden separar a las personas. No obstante, al enviar al Espíritu Santo a vivir en nosotros, Cristo cumple su promesa de nunca desampararnos ni dejarnos (He 13.5).

Los seres humanos no fuimos creados para vivir solos. Dios nos diseñó para ser completos solo cuando el Espíritu Santo viene a morar en nosotros, en el momento de nuestra salvación. Sin embargo, hay quienes eligen ignorar al Espíritu Santo sin darse cuenta. Por ejemplo, cuando tratan de perseverar en la fe con sus propias fuerzas o dejan de leer la Palabra de Dios. Esa clase de persona se caracteriza por estar descontenta: su paz es efímera, y su soledad se sentirá como un residente permanente de su corazón.

El Espíritu Santo es nuestro parakletos, o compañero que “camina a nuestro lado”. Si lo mantenemos lejos, también nos alejamos del Padre. Pero si le pedimos al Espíritu que guíe nuestros pasos y abra nuestra mente a los planes de Dios, Él nos apoyará y alentará de maneras que ni imaginamos.

parakletos “παράκλητος” , mу art, 297×420 , pencil drawing, 2024

In the ancient Greek translation of the Bible, the word “παράκλητος” (parakletos) is used instead of “comforter.” However, it carries a deeper meaning than just “comforter.” Primarily, it refers to someone who can come to aid, and the reasons for their assistance play a significant role. The ancient Greeks used this term to describe an advocate in complex legal matters, a defense witness, an expert providing advice in difficult situations, or someone who encourages and supports disheartened soldiers in the army. Another meaning of this word, which conveys the essence of consolation, is someone who walks alongside

[story-of-christ]

John 14:16-17 “he shall give you another [allos] COMFORTER [parakletos], that he may abide with you forever; 17 Even the SPIRIT OF TRUTH;”

John 14:26 “But the COMFORTER [parakletos], which is the Holy Ghost,”

John 15:26 “when the COMFORTER [parakletos] is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the SPIRIT OF TRUTH,”

John 16:7 “if I go not away, the COMFORTER [parakletos] will not come unto you;”

John 16:13 “when he, the SPIRIT OF TRUTH, is come, he will guide you into all truth:”

Note that EVERY verse is referring to the COMFORTER [Greek = parakletos] and SPIRIT OF TRUTH.

So who is the COMFORTER and SPIRIT OF TRUTH?

In John 14:6 Jesus says, “I am the truth” and by His Spirit He is the “Spirit of truth.” (John 14:17)

And in John 14:18 Jesus said, “I will not leave you

comfortless: I will come to you.”

It is Christ by “HIS” Spirit!

Many get confused because Jesus said he will send “another” Comforter not realizing that the “another” is HIS SPIRIT. The Greek word “allos” for “another” in John 14:16 means another of the exact same kind. Jesus was present with His disciples in physical form, but after His ascension He comes back in another form, that is, by His Spirit. Hence the “another” is His Spirit.

Because Christ's Spirit can function independently of Himself, it is like His Spirit is “another.” And because it is His Spirit, it is “another” of the same kind. If it was someone different, John would have used the Greek word “heteros” which means another of a different kind.

1 John 2:1 also reveals that Jesus is our “parakletos” (Comforter).

John 14:16, 26; 15:26; 16:7 above and 1 John 2:1 below are the only verses that use this Greek word which means “ADVOCATE and COMFORTER.” So the Greek text also reveals that our COMFORTER and Advocate is JESUS CHRIST the righteous!

“If any man sin, we have an advocate [parakletos] (Comforter) with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:” 1 John 2:1

And here is further proof from Ellen White who of course confirms that the COMFORTER and SPIRIT OF TRUTH is the HOLY SPIRIT OF CHRIST.

“This refers to the omnipresence of the SPIRIT of CHRIST, called the COMFORTER.” — (Ellen White, 14MR 179.2)

“Let them study the seventeenth of John, and learn how to pray and how to live the prayer of CHRIST. HE is THE COMFORTER. He will abide in their hearts, making their joy full.” — (E. G. White, Review and Herald, January 27, 1903)

“JESUS comes to you as the SPIRIT of TRUTH; study the mind of the Spirit, consult your Lord, follow His way.” — (Ellen White, 2MR 337.1)

“We cannot be with Christ in person, as were His first disciples, but HE has sent HIS Holy Spirit to guide us into all truth, and through this power we too can bear witness for this Saviour. (John 16:13 quoted)” - (Ellen White, Ms30, June 18, 1900)

El Espíritu Santo y el Liderazgo Cristiano

La obra del Espíritu Santo es central en la teología cristiana, abarcando desde la creación hasta el apocalipsis, y su estudio se denomina "pneumatología". En el Antiguo Testamento (AT), el Espíritu Santo se introduce como una fuerza divina que impone orden y capacita a individuos para tareas específicas, aunque su presencia no es constante. Los profetas anticipan una era en que el Espíritu estará presente de manera permanente en los creyentes, anunciando un derramamiento universal del Espíritu que habilitará a la gente para vivir en santidad, amor y justicia.

El Nuevo Testamento (NT) cumple esta profecía a través de Jesucristo, quien ministra en el poder del Espíritu Santo, prometiendo a su vez enviar el Espíritu a la comunidad cristiana. El Espíritu es descrito como "parakletos", es decir, un ayudante o abogado que guiará a los creyentes hacia la verdad, recordará las enseñanzas de Cristo, capacitará a la comunidad para hacer actos extraordinarios, dará testimonio de Cristo y convencerá al mundo de pecado, justicia y juicio.

El bautismo en el Espíritu Santo, que significa ser sumergido en el poder divino, inicia una nueva fase en la vida de fe, marcada por la presencia de Dios y el perdón de pecados. El libro de Hechos relata cómo el Espíritu Santo se derrama sobre los creyentes durante Pentecostés, dotándolos para predicar en múltiples idiomas y estableciendo una iglesia multicultural y multilingüe. Las epístolas reconocen al Espíritu Santo como el Espíritu de Dios y de Cristo, y diferencian el poder del Espíritu en "dynamis" (poder explosivo) y "exousía" (autoridad delegada).

El NT también detalla listas de dones espirituales otorgados para el liderazgo y la edificación de la iglesia, destacando roles como apostolado, profecía y enseñanza, así como dones de sabiduría, ministerio y poder. Estos dones unen a la Iglesia y la edifican como un cuerpo compuesto por miembros diversos, todos importantes para el funcionamiento del todo.

En resumen, el Espíritu Santo es esencial para el liderazgo cristiano efectivo, equipando a los creyentes con dones espirituales para el servicio y la edificación de la iglesia, y promoviendo la unidad en la diversidad dentro del cuerpo de Cristo.

FRESH MANNA

GOD OF ALL COMFORT

2 Corinthians 1:3-4

I always feel inadequate when I must pay condolence to bereaved brethren, I think that whatever I say would be insufficient in the face of their grief and pain until I lost my mother and realised the desire for comforting words and actions and the Bible assures us that no one is beyond God’s help and that no tragedy is so great that our heavenly Father cannot comfort us.

The apostle Paul describes Jehovah as “the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our trials. The idea of comfort implies at least two parties: the comforter and the comforted. It also implies a need, that is exclusively for humans alone. Animals don’t need and can’t receive spiritual comfort, since only humans are composed of body, soul, and spirit created with the capacity to receive and give comfort.

We uniquely suffer distress—past, present, and future, and live in a world where comfort is required daily.

Even when we remember previous distress, they fill us afresh with grief or regrets according to Genesis 37:35, so, we need a daily dose of comfort that only the God of all comfort can give.

We face each day’s troubles with worry as expressed in Matthew 6:25–32, we often reflect on things and dread what may come next. But beyond worldly matters is the most distressing sensation of all, the guilt of having deeply, inexcusably offended our righteous Creator and Judge.

It's normal to seek comfort when life happens, and believers should do so in God’s presence and God’s word. Trials will require us to shift our focus instead of looking all around for comfort, living in fear of the circumstances, we can look to God who holds us. God’s word is the rock to build our lives upon and we can turn to him when life happens to be relieved and comforted.

God is the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who in His mercy and love, is eager to provide comfort for His children in all circumstances.

Our heavenly Father knows every situation we face and offers comfort as needed. Because God is the comforter, He alone is our source of peace, happiness, and blessings.

Remember that according to Psalm 46:1, God is our refuge, a place to seek shelter and protection and a place to put our trust.

Comfort flows through us to others so that we can comfort them in any trouble with the comfort we too receive from God according to 2 Corinthians 1:4.

We are to comfort those who are in trouble, sick or in prison, whether we can change their circumstances or not according to Matthew 25:36–40, that’s where we glorify God.

The Holy Spirit—the Parakletos, the Comforter, Counsellor, or Helper is the one through whom Jesus keeps His promise to always be with and to comfort us.

Because the Holy Spirit walks close beside us, we receive comfort in our troubles, and conquerors them says Romans 8: 30–39.

When we finally leave the temporary troubles of this life and enter the permanent joy of the next, Father God will forever comfort us, and wipe our tears according to Isaiah 25:8.

Allow the God of all comfort to cover you with His comfort and everlasting love.

PRAYER: God of all comfort, comfort me Lord in every sphere of life even as I battle against life storms in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Shalom
