JESUS \u200b\u200b'AND THE SAMARITAN

Wonderful incident analysis Gospel known to all of us but with a deeper insight into the heart of the message: worship God!

The Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John. When Jesus heard it, left the territory of Judea and went away into Galilee. To go to Galilee, Jesus had to go through Samaria. So he came to the town of Sychar. Nearby was the field that once Jacob had given to his son Joseph, and Jacob's well was there. Jesus was tired of walking, he stopped and sat on the shaft. It was about mezzogiorno.I disciples went into town to buy something to eat. Meanwhile, a woman of Samaria comes to the well to fetch water. Jesus says, "Give me some 'water to drink." The woman responds, "Why do you come from you Jews ask me for a drink that Samaria? "(It is known that the Jews did not have good relations with the Samaritans). Jesus said," You do not know who is who asked you to drink and do not know what God can give you through him. If you knew, you would be to ask him, and he would give you living water. "She adds:" Lord, you do not have a bucket, and the well is deep. Where to take it, the living water? You're not bigger than Jacob, our father, who used this well for himself, his children and his animals, and then let us! "Jesus answered the woman," Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again. However, if one drinks the water I shall give him shall never thirst, the water I give will become for him a source for eternity. "The woman says to Jesus:" Lord, give it to me this water, so I will not be thirsty and will no longer come here to get water. "Jesus said the woman: "Go call your husband and come back here." The woman replied: "I have no husband." Jesus says, "Right. It 's true that you have no husband: You've had five husbands, and the man you now is not your husband. "The woman exclaimed:" Lord, I see that you are a prophet! Our fathers, Samaritans, worshiped God on this mountain; you in Judea, say that the place to worship God in Jerusalem, "Jesus says," You Samaritans worship God without knowing it, we in Judea and adore him know it, because God saves men from beginning our people. But trust me: there comes a time in which the worship of God will no longer be linked to this mountain or in Jerusalem, the hour is coming, indeed has already come, when men shall worship the Father by the Spirit and the truth of God God is spirit. Who loves it must be guided by the Spirit and the truth of God. "The woman replied:" I know it must be a Messiah, the Christ, the messenger of God when he comes, he will explain everything. "And Jesus "I am the Christ, that I speak with you." (....) Many Samaritans of that city believed in him because of the woman who declared: "I said everything I've done. "So when the Samaritans came to him, begged him to stay with them and he stayed there two days. Many more succumbed to his word and said to the woman:" There is more to your word that we believe, but because we have heard for ourselves and we know that this is indeed the Savior of the world. "(Gv.4 0.1 to 42).

The episode of the Samaritan woman is the longest reported dialogue between all the Gospels. In fact, this picture of the life of Jesus, means in reality, two great dialogues, some verses framed by narrative. It 'important that Jesus is talking to a woman, and that the interlocutor combines a triple irregularities : is a woman, then Samaria, then frowned upon, the life is, finally, was not blameless.
The dialogues are developed according to the key literature of John the Evangelist: the alternation of the revelations of Jesus and the incomprehension of men. The interview is all a game that highlights the hard work and intellect of man's heart before the mystery of God, and God's patience that not only meets the expectations of man, but suscita.Infatti, space relatively occupied by the large woman should not deceive: the psychology and personal stories of the Samaritan woman that Jesus encounters do not have a self interest for the evangelist John, who will hand out the mission of Jesus and his revelation. However, the fact remains that the role of the Gospel of the Samaritan woman (and all of us) is important and, once again, in many ways disruptive and rebellious.
We must not forget that between Jews and Samaritans there was bad blood from when they had formed a kingdom and a self-worship. Were schismatics, and more mixed with foreign settlers (Assyrian) practicing pagan cults. The reports were marked with hostility: those convicted of personal information, even avoided crossing region, located between Judea and Galilee, following a path much longer, just to avoid them. The Samaritans in the Temple of Jerusalem opposed to them on Mount Gerizim. It 'clear that this represented for the Jews a very serious, because they considered essential to the uniqueness of the Temple, a sign of Yahweh's presence among the people.
The episode takes place at Jacob's well: in fact, the whole story starts from TA (Rebecca and his meeting with Isaac, Genesis 24, 10-67). After a brief introduction, the dialogue embraces three themes: the theme of water, that of the woman's husband, and that of worship. But the path to enter the mystery of Jesus is not easy for the woman (with Jesus is always the case: we can never get out of our blindness). The meeting is really a box full crossed dall'affettività as the search for meaning of life, morals and spirituality, in which all sizes of women emerge and then to find harmony for her unexpected.
Jesus says, "Give me some 'water to drink."
The woman is astonished that a Jew to ask for water. As I recalled the Jews did not agree with the Samaritans. For a Jew, there was no insult worse than being compared to a Samaritan. So she is surprised by this Jew who does not behave like the others. But the paradox lies elsewhere. Jesus asks is that water, the mind should be the opposite. E ', well if we think about the paradox of a God who becomes needy and beggars. That is the mystery of a God who became man, to have a pretext to meet the man and give them the water that quenches thirst. It 's the wonder of a God who calls to give. In this way the acceptance of a Samaritan woman by a Jewish man is a sign of welcome from God
Jesus says: "You do not know who is who asked you to drink and do not know what God can give through him. If you knew, you would be to ask him, and he would give you living water. "
The woman has heard the question of Jesus, but his concern is what separates it from him, they belong to two different people and antagonists. It seems that the dialogue between them is not possible. In addition, the woman does not seem the least willing to quench Jesus, tired and without any means to draw water. Yet the two, because they exchanged a few words, have already broken down barriers. And he continues to do so, and the woman, repeating word for word. At one point, Jesus speaks of another water, and his word to understand the Samaritan woman did not know who it is that speaks. Yet
would need to know him and know him as the gift of God, or as someone who is known and accepted, can give her living water. Because she is the Samaritan, who is in a state of thirst (the true believers of every temptation is always to close the gift of God within their expectation, but God can not be reduced to this man's claim and leads the discussion in other directions). When Then she discovers that Jesus is a prophet, she tries to ask God for the solution of a problem (the problem where to worship God). But once again Jesus' answer goes beyond the question, because God does not just respond to man, but the man wants to grow.
"Art thou greater than our father Jacob?"
The verses that follow are rightly regarded as the central point of the dialogue. The question of the woman was a curiosity on the grounds that Jews and Samaritans were discussing a lot on that point .. The fact is that Jesus uses the question to make an important revelation. The question of women is contained in the past, Jesus is forced to look to the future and to take consciousness that the world came the news that this long-awaited and renews the problem from the ground up. That's why the issue of the place makes no sense, because Jesus says universalism, then there is no question of worshiping God here or there, but because even the cult has taken with him.
Spirit, at this point, there is a spiritual reality that is opposed to the body, an inner reality which is opposed to external reality. Because the cult worship of the Spirit is not the inner, spiritual, individual, as opposed to external and public worship. The Spirit is the divine reality which raises man from his impotence, blindness by his secular. E Truth is the revelation of God as manifested in words, in history and in the person of Jesus So worship "in spirit and truth" is the cult of the new man who threw the old clothes, who has accepted the Word and was renewed by the Spirit.
It 'important to note, as mentioned, that the issue posed by the woman was not overlooked, but the answer of Jesus is the place for true worship, the true temple that Jesus himself is our temple from that moment that replaces Gerizim, and the sanctuary of the mind to Jerusalem, because he alone is the door through which you get to the Heavenly Father.
The woman says, "I know that Messiah is coming", and Jesus: "I am the Christ, that I speak with you."
verses contain explicit self-described Messianic Samaritans of Jesus the Messiah as a human figure, and thought that death would be buried on Mount Gerizim. They were inspired in particular to Deuteronomy 18.15-18, a passage where Moses tells the people that the Lord God will raise up for them, between them, between the brothers a prophet like himself, and that they should listen to him. That's because the Samaritans were waiting for the Messiah as a new Moses, a Moses redivivus: that as he was a prophet, would show the truth, revealing what was hidden. In addition, he taught the law (if not Samaria) and the Jews around the world: that is to say, it was the instrument that brought the world the true law and the restoration of religion and politics in Israel.
In view of this messianic expectation typical of the Samaritans, we understand better the statements disseminated in the course of the dialogue between Jesus and women: the recognition of Jesus as a prophet proclaiming the new religion, the woman's words "I know you must be a Messiah called Christ, when we will announce everything. " With the formal proclamation
messianic "I am, I who speak to you", Jesus declares that one who would fulfill the expectations of the Samaritans. He is the prophet, the detector, the restorer of the true arrival of the first culto.Come Women's disciples had gone into town, so now, the return of the disciples, is the woman who leaves. The Samaritan is to bring the message of Jesus to his fellow citizens.
"Come see a man who told me everything I've done." "What is he the Christ?"
E 'guilty confess, if I think about it. Nothing is said of a pardon granted to it. Yet repentance that Jesus was especially interested. But he knows how to evaluate and wait. We can assume that the woman did not have the sense of sin, no hint or act on it. However, the religious foundation is lacking, it is understood that the tax issue and the fact that the arrival of the disciples, prompted by the revelation and the beginning of the sense of sin, is to become a "public confession" to his fellow citizens, believing that Jesus could be the Messiah, the representative of God, calls to clarify something so important.
certainly can not have been driving her to Jesus, who gave in to his words. And if they keep him for two days, no doubt Jesus announced the coming of the Kingdom of God she is with them to listen. In fact, at the end say: "There is more to your words that we believe, but because we have heard for ourselves and we know that this is indeed the Savior of the world," is a sign that she has supported the role of protagonist in the lead to Jesus and his fellow citizens to follow. Items more than enough to revolutionize the lives of Jesus and get signs of grace, sufficient to be pacified with God
The encounter with Christ is contagious, and the meeting becomes witness. In this dialogue, Jesus is telling us, as indeed in all the Gospels, that salvation is for everyone. The barriers of Judaism have collapsed. In fact, this episode is prefigured by the universality of the Church of the conversion of the Samaritans. Also this is the first meaning missionary, and then anticipate the Christian universalism. Jesus said to her that the harvest is ready.
To say that the expectation of Israel is complete and the mission is urgent. To emphasize that the mission operates in a context of humility and gratuity: it is Christ who has sown, but the Spirit that has matured. A state of grace that is reflected in the Church, others who sows, reaps other's who. The episode of the Samaritan woman ends by recalling the conversion of the Samaritans and the welcome that Jesus This really is the advance of the conversion of non-Jews, whose communities will experience later.
But we must emphasize the concept of faith: faith becomes contagious, the meeting with the witnesses of Christ is only the first step. True faith comes when we meet Christ personally.
brothers and sisters, like the Samaritan woman, we all should be humble and ask the Lord for the gift of water flows from his heart and that has the power to make us happy for eternal life. I am sure that to the extent that we will engage in research of this water, the Lord Jesus will reward us, indeed, will give us much more than we dare to hope, as the Apostle Paul reminds us: "The sufferings of this present time are not comparing with the glory which shall be revealed in us "(Rm.8, 18).
Amen, hallelujah, amen.

the growing desire to contemplate God

Gregory of Nyssa, Commentary on the Song of Songs, 11

Suppose that someone had found near the spring that gushed from the earth in the beginning, according to Scripture, gave rise to a river so large as to surround the whole earth. Well, this man, to see the extraordinary amount of water continually arise from that source, however, had claimed to have seen throughout the water that there was: how, in fact, could never see what is hidden in the bowels of earth? Even if they had to spend time at the source, was always as if he had taken in the `moment to contemplate what the water. This latter fact, it `s never stops: flows incessantly, as if, at any time, begins to emerge.
Similarly, even one who looks toward the infinite beauty of God, you wonder what that continually appears and never fails to desire to contemplate, because what is being discovered from time to time is as much new and extraordinary for what is already understood: what is expected, in fact, become more divine and magnificent of what you already have under the eyes.

constant prayer of Francis of Assisi

You thought that "our" Francis of Assisi was the subject of study and mystic of the Orthodox Church and matter for meditation? There's really surprise that the Orthodox study the Catholic saints, Catholics meditate on the Gospel teachings, evangelicals deepen Catholic mystic ... then we are ready for true ecumenism and not words that "brotherly hug" but blood and adoration, which awaits the return of the king together, without distinction and without making any noise ...

The prayer of the heart

The prayer of the heart is a "state" in which the spiritual prayer is constantly immersed in God and contemplate it at any time. If this statement is true, it means that the prayer of the heart is not considered a kind of "monopoly" of those who cultivate the prayer of Jesus - be it by the method of St. John Climacus or Hesychast according to the scheme - but it can be accessed by all. For the Lord is near to all who call upon Him, to those who seek Him with a sincere heart (Ps. 145, 18). The Lord reveals Himself to those who seek His face, his heart. If the continuous prayer is a gift of the Holy Spirit because the Spirit of God who constantly moans in front of the face of the Lord (Gal 4, 6), means that praying is inhabited in depth from His presence is pneumatophoros (bearer of the Holy Spirit), is holy. In this perspective we can
certainly expand the horizon of the prayer of the Church and cultural heart. A look at the issue objectively you can make perfectly aware that not only lives in the Eastern Church this opportunity to contemplation of God's presence, but also in the Western Church is no shortage of evidence on this "universality" of prayer of the heart, because where there is holiness there is presence of the Spirit of God

San Francisco: holy ecumenical
What San Francisco has been a very charismatic man and that his holiness seems well with conjugated Eastern spirituality, this seems so obvious from his writings, from which he drew up rules and various biographies.
Spiteris Father in his book "Francis Christian Orient, a comparison" emphasizes very well this correlation between the Franciscan experience the holiness and Eastern Europe. In a chapter of his book, he tackles the subject of prayer emphasizing the experience of prayer of St. Francis is an experience of pure prayer, prayer of the heart.
In this context of irenic comparison between the figure of Saint Francis and the sanctity East, it seems important to emphasize some points of contact between these two worlds, those who in our opinion appear to be more significant

San Francisco: A "Crazy for Christ
In the tradition of the Eastern Churches, there is a hagiographic type which is not covered in the Western Church and is fittingly called" foolishness for Christ. "
I crazy for Christ are called in greek yurodivij Salo and in Russian. In support of this category of saints is a verse from the First Letter of Saint Paul to the Corinthians (1 Cor 4:10): "We are fools for Christ's sake." The fools in Christ have rejected the human wisdom to acquire only the spiritual wisdom, they appear first in the monastery in Egypt and Syria, and only later - In the sixteenth century. - Arrive in Russia.
One of the distinctive features of insanity for Christ is the desire of identification with the poor and crucified Christ and the attitude that they have a complaint against the immorality of men or monks. Among the fools for Christ include an exemplary figure like that of San Nicola Pellegrino said Kyrie eleison, which are some traits Biography:
Nicola was born in 1075 about a village near the Monastery of St. Luke's Stirion by poor farmers do not receive no education and, at the age of eight years or so, he is sent to graze the sheep. Enlightened by the uncreated energies, however, one day, suddenly began to shout: Kyrie eleison!
mother resorts to threats and beatings, in order to make the child come to your senses, and when you realize you could not turn away from that practice, the out of the house. Nicola Monks close in a tower, and stop the door with a rock: about midnight, here's a thunder rolls the boulder and the boy can go out freely and goes to church, saying, as usual Kyrie eleison. A
Orac and continues to carve crosses of cedar wood. It 's so busy when he is meeting, on horseback, Massimo Monaco, treasurer of the monastery of Styria, violent and harsh man, the saint greets him with humility and says to him: - Why you mistreat workers and subjects them to oppress and afflict unfairly?

In this respect, the figure seems to be very similar to the figure of many fools for Christ. We remember that St. Francis says of himself: "The Lord has revealed to me to be his will that I was crazy in the world: this is the science to which God wants us to dedicate ourselves." In his "confession" then he says he is an "ignorant and illiterate."
Another aspect that is common to the experience of St. Francis Salo is represented by events in his life where he is naked in the aftermath of his conversion St. Francis decide to live the Gospel radicalism, left everything and undressing in front of the bishop . Other episodes are narrated in the Franciscan Sources and culminate in the episode of his death when he wants to be deposed 'naked on the bare earth'
When neighbors heard the last days, where the light would be short-lived successor, the eternal light, he showed with the example of his virtues that had nothing shared with the world. Exhausted by his illness, so severe, that put an end to all his suffering, he lay naked on the bare ground to be prepared in this last moment, in which the enemy could still vent his anger, to fight naked with an opponent naked.

San Francisco contemplates the beauty of creation: theoria physik
Another aspect that links San Francisco to the sanctity of the East Christian is the contemplation of creation, what the Fathers called theoria physik. Father says Špidlík:
The knowledge of God through the works is proclaimed by all the Fathers. So every man is able to come to the knowledge of God through creation. The visible universe becomes an open book for friends of God, a school for souls. God saw that it was good (Genesis 1:9), because it contemplated the logos of the things that are ready for the Messiah (Jn 4:35).
The contemplation of creation is a "ladder" that leads us to God, is an instrument - the most immediate known to man - to see His presence in the world. Creation has the ability to see the man a piece of Heaven, feeds the desire to meet him in the face of the Most High, aroused in him a fervent "remembrance of God": The prof. Panaghiotis Yfantis describes well the experience of applying this dynamic San Francisco:
Saints consider the creation with discretion: not deify nor despise. Respect it because they see it half anagogical capable of leading the spiritual vision of God in the eyes of Francis, all creatures form a "ladder" to the Creator. In his biography we read that was very fond of a lark, because this bird seemed to bring the headset and it was a humble monk, and his face symbolizes the good brothers that isolated from the world praising God [...] esemplaristico This method has its counterpart in a continuous effort of Eastern saints always have the mind directed to God
This ability to San Francisco to capture the presence of God in all things, not in a pantheistic, emerges clearly from the understanding that he has some creatures. The saint called everyone "brother" and "sister". This particular aspect of Franciscan spirituality turned out to be, over the centuries, even the misunderstanding so that San Francisco, for example, has become the "saint of ecology."
But understanding that the saint was the creation is far from being "animal rights" or "ecological" he proclaimed, simply, the goodness of creation as the work of the hands of God The world is a "divine manifestation" of God, a "sacrament" of His presence as a whole patristic tradition has always emphasized. This is wonderful "feel" of St. Francis, and he expresses this in his brilliant Canticle of Brother Sun, which seems to be present the invitation of St. Paul: "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks" ( 1 Thessalonians 5: 16-17):

Most High, omnipotent, Good Lord, Yours
'All praise and glory el'honore et onne Benediction.
For you alone, Most High, do konfano,
et homo nullu dignu Ene Te Mantua.

Praised be You, me, 'Lord, cum all your creatures,

The Holy Spirit in the life of Saint Francis: theosis
One of the highlights that St. Francis is glad the 'acquisition of the Holy Spirit ": for him the sanctity of a person derives from the intimate union with the SS. Trinity dwelling in the heart of the servant of God will be the same saint to call on his brothers in the Earlier Rule to accept this indwelling of the Trinity.
Interestingly, the main goal for St. Francis to reach the goal be achieved in the lives of "penitents" is the acquisition of the Spirit: for the saint of Assisi shall not dwell in the heart of another concern that is not to make effect the grace of God in their hearts, and this grace is "active" only in a pure heart of every passion
warn, then, and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ to beware the friars of all pride, vainglory, envy, avarice, care and concerns of this world, detraction and murmuring.
And those who do not know letters, do not care about learning, but make sure that what we should desire above all things is to have the Spirit of the Lord and His holy operation, to pray with a pure heart and always have humility, patience in persecution and infirmity and to love those who persecute and slander us and we take over. A similar
Board, the acquisition of the Holy Spirit, is also found in a well-known saint of the Orthodox Church, St. Seraphim of Sarov, which defines the end of Christian life in view dell'inabitazione Holy Spirit in man. These, for the Russian saint, he must make sales on spiritual man is called to pray for the Spirit of the Lord and through him the greatest possible number of thanks. Here, in this regard, a song from "Interview with Motovilov"
The real purpose of the Christian life is therefore the acquisition of this Spirit of God, and prayer vigils, fasting, almsgiving and other actions virtuous done in the name of Christ are only the means to buy it.
- How to "capture"? - I asked Father Seraphim. - I do not understand perfectly.
- The acquisition is the same as the achievement. You know what it means to acquire money? For the Holy Spirit is the same. For ordinary people the purpose of life is the acquisition of money, money. The nobles also want to get honors, medals and other rewards for services rendered to the State. The acquisition of the Holy Spirit is a capital, but an eternal capital, and a dispenser of grace, similar to capital and time that you get with the same procedures.
[...] - Try to obtain the graces of the Holy Spirit bear fruit by the name of Christ in all possible virtues, and make a spiritual trade, traffic with those that give the most benefits.
[...] How to trade the aim is to obtain as much money as possible, so in the Christian life the goal must be not only to pray and do good, but also to get the most thanks.

San Francisco living prayer: prayer of the heart
In this section we specifically address the issue of prayer in the experience of St. Francis, who on several occasions in his writings calls the monks to have a heart always ready to He turned to God and everything, always ready to pray, as it is written in the commentary on the Our Father:
[All] we love you with all my heart, always thinking of you, with all your soul, always wanting you, with all mind, guiding you all our intentions and everything looking for your honor, and with all our strength, spending all our energy and sensibility of soul and body in the service of your love and for no other, and so that we can love our neighbors as ourselves, dragging everyone with all our power to your love, enjoying the goods of others as our ills and suffering together with them and not bringing any offense to anyone.
And again in the Earlier Rule we find this admonition of Saint Francis;
And everywhere, all of us, everywhere, at any time and at any time, and every day and continuously truly and humbly believe, hold in our heart and love, honor , worship, serve, praise and give thanks Most High and Supreme Eternal God, Trinity and Unity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, the Creator of all things and Savior of all who believe and trust in him who is without beginning and without end.
This need to be always in the presence of God requires that the servant of God has a pure heart, detached - as the Fathers would say - from all attachment and passionate concern. So it is written in the Rule:
Always build in us a home and a permanent home to Him, who is the Lord God Almighty, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and says: Be alert at all times, therefore, and pray, that ye may escape all the evils that happen and to stand before the Son of Man. And when you stand praying, say: Our Father which art in heaven. And adore Him with a pure heart, because we must always pray not to lose heart, because the Father seeks to worship him.
is interesting to see how St. Francis in the "purity of heart" is not only the meaning of a "moral cleansing" but it's the attitude that makes possible the contemplation of God in this respect the holy nell'Ammonizione XXVII has an expression that resembles very closely the way in which the Hesychasts wanted the purity of the heart:

Where is the fear of the Lord to guard his house (the heart), there can not find the enemy's route of entry .
For St. Francis, the purity of heart is therefore free from all earthly concerns, is being able to keep the house interior from any enemy attack. In previous sections we have got to address this issue with regard to the custody of the heart: only a pure heart can see the Face of the Beloved, can contemplate.
The vision of God, prayer of pure Hesychasts is called theoria, it always has its roots in a clean heart, who knows how to despise the things of the world:
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God truly pure in heart are those who disdain of-the earthly and heavenly things are looking, and never cease to worship and see the Lord God living and true, with heart and mind pure.
A heart and a mind polluted by passion, by impure thoughts, sin can not possibly contemplate the divine light in order to enjoy the splendor of God is necessary for man to regain the original beauty, returning to the natural condition. Man is transformed by the Spirit: shifts from the similarity with the prototype which is Christ.
Only then can enjoy the spiritual meaning of God's presence: so also the man feels compassion for all creation, for every creature, writes Isaac of Nineveh:

When you do good, do not worry the purpose of immediate reward and you will be doubly rewarded by God, and if you can [do not] even for future reward. Be virtuous but above all for the sake of serving God's desire of love is more intimate than the service of God, and the latter is more intimate in the mysteries of him. More intimate than the soul is the body [...]. What is purity? It is a merciful heart to every creature [...]. And what is a merciful heart? It is the fire in my heart for all creation: for men, for birds, animals, for demons and all that exists. In their memory and their view of the eyes [of such a person] shed tears for the violence of mercy shaking [his] heart because of great compassion. The heart melts, and can not bear to hear or see little harm or suffering to any creature. 'S why he offers prayers with tears every time, even for beings that are not endowed with reason, and for the enemies of truth and for those who are opposed, that they be kept and further strengthened, and even reptiles; because of his great mercy, that in his heart comes without measure, in God's image

Even St. Francis had the gift of prayer continues, "his stable disposition was such that, wherever he could, he prayed. This was his normal disposition of the heart ', as is well described by Thomas Celano in his second biography: When

[instead] was praying in the woods and in lonely places, filling the woods of groans, tears watered the ground, beat his chest with his hand, and there, almost taking advantage of a more intimate and private, often conversed aloud with his Lord knew the judge, pleading with the Father, spoke to his friend, joked amiably with the Bridegroom. And in fact, to offer sacrifice to God in all multiple fibers of his heart, regarded in many respects the One who is supremely One. Often without moving his lips, long-meditated within himself and focusing outward within the powers, the spirit rose to heaven. In this way ran all the understanding and affection for that one thing he asked for, God was not so much a praying man, but rather he turned in all living prayer.

is clear that for St. Francis prayer is not so much a way of relating to God but is a vital attitude. As the body needs to breathe, so the human heart has always needed to draw, in prayer, the Spirit of the Lord, not to die, not to harden.
All aspects of Franciscan spirituality that we have set forth are communicating with each other, in fact:
a clean heart is purified from the passions and despises all worldly attachment;
à pure heart is inhabited by the Holy Spirit that transforms man from within, the work of the enemy is outside of the heart since, through logismoi, he wants to enter the inner garden. The Holy Spirit, by contrast, works from the inside man, the image becomes the similarity with the prototype that Christ has purified the heart à
the eye sees the deep and logo in all creation that is no longer an enemy of man.
to every creature becomes a "brother" and "sister", even death, the creation elevates the mind and heart to God, a heart
inhabited by the Spirit groans of the Lord continually before the face of the Lord; it as a gift from the Lord in prayer continues.

This is one of two messages that were given in a seminar "Aglow", in August 1996. They were then published and disseminated. Do you realize that in 1995 the people of Israel, and those who love God's Word and the Word of God, celebrated the anniversary of 3,000 years since the founding of the city of Jerusalem by King David? It 'was a special moment for this chapter to the Lord. The enemy had come like a fury against us because he knew that what took place caused him great fear. He does not want you to learn these things and, above all, and that puts them into practice. The task of the latter-day prophets is to say, "Repent, for the Lord's Day is coming!" And to proclaim the coming of the Lord as the Lion of the tribe of Judah and the Lamb as the Bridegroom. The task of the apostles of the last days is to drive the body of Christ (the Messiah) to have an intimacy with our Bridegroom, and also to restore the old ruins. The Tabernacle of David is a part of this work of restoration. Certainly, the restoration of the Tabernacle of David is an incredibly huge part of God's plan to make us share the foundation of His Kingdom. Through the restoration of the Tabernacle of David will take home the apostolic spirit so that we can enter new territories, break down strongholds, select, train and bring out new leaders ready for their tasks and with the proper rites, and so establish the kingdom of God the whole earth. This important restoration will not happen just in two or three days during a meeting of worship. Will not take place even in the space of a couple of years. The foundations of this tabernacle are placed in these days and others that have already been designated for worship, but the whole work will take many years. In the world of natural gifts and religiosity, be open and ready to learn. May the Lord bless you greatly for choosing to come closer to God and spend time in praise and worship.

By the time I was preparing for this presentation, the Lord gave me a word: The Lord wants to tell you: "Arise, my daughters, get up, My children! Wake up from your slumber and seek my face, because now, right now I am going to rule the earth, and to look upon you, My children. Get up, stand up and shine, my daughters, get up and shine, My children, for I the Lord God of Israel came as the refiner's fire, and like the dyer's soap. I'll burn your waste with My glory. I consume your darkness. I will transform you in the likeness of My Son. I will restore your judges as I promised, and after you've spent your labor, after you have repented, will be called the city of righteousness, the faithful city. Rise and shine, because your light is coming, He is coming. As you can see that the darkness is covering the earth and thick darkness the peoples, but the Lord will rise upon you, on those who seek me in worship, prayer, fasting, and my glory will be upon you! Isaiah is a very important book for the last few days and if you know it, along with other books of the prophets, able to see that the word I received is an update of some of the things that the Lord has said then. What happened at Azusa Street at the beginning of the century has revolutionized the world. From quell'effusione, the baptism of the Holy Spirit (Ruach Kodesh has) has spread throughout the land. What is coming will eclipse what happened at Azusa Street. A day of worship at Azusa Street in the morning and could begin to arrive until after midnight. The worship in the form of singing and clapping could last from 15 minutes to 2 hours. Sometimes it was as if the crowd gathered had forgotten how to sing in English, additional languages \u200b\u200band wonderful harmonies flowed simply from their voices. Azusa St. is considered the event in history that has been manifested the greatest outpouring of the Holy Spirit and yet we know that the Lord has kept the best wine for last. Are you thirsty?

go back and review: How was it established the Tabernacle of David.

The relevant chapters can be found in I Samuel 4-7 and I Chronicles 13 . After the Israelites conquered Canaan, the Ark of the Covenant, that was the place of God's presence, was placed in the Tabernacle of Moses at Shiloh. During the spiritual decline of the priesthood of Eli and his children, the Ark was captured by the Philistines (I Sam. 4:10-11, 22). The Philistines returned the Ark to Israel after God struck them with sores because of the Ark (I Sam. 5; 6:1-18). The men of Beth Shemesh received the Ark by the Philistines, but God also hit them with a plague because they looked inside (I Sam. 6:19-20). The city of Kirjathjearim then received the ark. It remained in the house Abinadab for twenty years, because Saul had never been interested in it! (I Sam. 7:1-2; I Chron. 13:3, I Sam. 6:7-12) When David became king, and all Israel brought the Ark to Jerusalem, but God judged them for having unlawfully transported on a wagon (in the way she had come from the Philistines). In His Word the Lord had instructed the Levites to carry the Ark on the poles. During this journey to Jerusalem is the place chosen by God, the wagon struck a stone and began to capsize, so that Uzza, leaped to stop it, touch it. The Lord instantly struck Uzza making die for having disobeyed his orders. David was angry with the Lord and he was afraid of him leave the ark in the house of Obed-Edom, and the man and his family were greatly blessed. (I Chron. 13:6-14). David came home and fell on their faces in prayer and sought God intensely in the Word learning as well, the right way to bring the ark. After David tried the Lord with all his heart, he was given a revelation of the importance of worship in heaven and a key to winning battles in recent days. Revelation 19:4 "And the four and twenty elders and the four living creatures they fell down and worshiped God who sits on the throne, saying, Amen! Alleluia! "The order of the day in heaven is the perpetual adoration, and it will be restored before his return. Revelation 4:8 "And the four living creatures each having six wings, were full of eyes around and within, and never stop, day and night, saying, Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God, the Almighty, who was, is and who is coming. "After seeing the adoration Heavenly, David and all Israel brought the Ark of the Tabernacle of Zion in Jerusalem that David had built intentionally. (I Chron. Num. 15:11-18 4:15) Then David laid aside his royal robes, and made a strange thing, danced before the Ark in the linen garments of a priest, as we must do today and in the days ahead. Selah, meditate on this. What is Zion? "Zion, Jewish-yon - a permanent capital, considerable, a monumental or guiding pillar. SWN is derived from the root meaning to protect, defend, hence the name took the meaning of a place of defense or a fortress. It 'called the City of David. In Hebrew the phrase "... they will come wait for the service of the tabernacle ... "means" fighting the war of the tabernacle! "The Lord is preparing a mighty army of warriors. Many will be assigned to Jerusalem. Zion is where the battle will be fought at the end of this age, it is the dwelling place of God His name is Emmanuel, God is with us! Baruch HaShem! Because of the revelation that God gave to David, he made many new things in restoring the tabernacle for the ark. The Lord led David to establish a second tabernacle. David placed the Ark in a new tabernacle instead of storing it in the tabernacle of Moses, where it originates. (I Chron. 16:1) He also gave instructions to David a new place to accommodate this new tabernacle. The Tabernacle of Moses was in Gibeon, a place in the hills several miles north of Jerusalem. David built his tabernacle, in Sion, the city of David next to Jerusalem. The site of Zion was thereafter referred to as the place of God's presence and place of worship. The Lord led David also order a new priesthood (Leviticus not prescribed in the books of Moses) to minister in worship and praise before the Lord and moved prophetically by the Spirit of God (Ruach Kodesh has). A ministry guided by the spirit! (I Chron. 16:1, 4-7) Since God led His people in all this, there was a new boldness in the presence of God Since David was introduced to his presence and had been given a revelation of what Jesus would accomplish by His death, the hole of the curtain, he received instructions to minister to the priesthood of Zion "before the Ark", something forbidden under the Law of Moses. (I Chron. 16:4) King David established a completely new order of worship with the ordination of a new priesthood of singers and musicians who worshiped and praised the Lord continually before the ark. (I Chronicles 15 and 16) led to intensified Quest'adorazione composition of new songs, prophetic songs. One of the main words in Hebrew for "Song" is "Massah". This word has three meanings: a prophetic song, and a weight (prophetic) which will be increased, raising the ark. The priesthood of Zion learned to go before the Lord's presence not by animal sacrifices, but with singing and musical composition, under the anointing of God. (Psalm 100, Hebrews 13:15, Psalm 50:8-14, 51:15-17) The New Tabernacle of David was built while at the same time most traditional ceremonies and rituals were observed in the Tabernacle of Moses at Gibeon, north of Zion . (I Chron. 16:37-39) The priests in the Tabernacle of Moses could never go past the curtain and enter the Holy Ark where he was of the Covenant, but they had to implement their ceremonial rituals outside. To make this situation worse, during the ministry of Samuel, was the capture of the Ark of the Covenant by the Philistines, and his return was never recovered from King Saul in the Blessed Sacrament, so during the reign of Saul is that of David, the Levitical priesthood, the Tabernacle of Moses He performed the rituals behind the curtain of the ark. The Holy of Holies was empty! A type of services Judeo-Christians empty without the presence of the Lord! The services in the Tabernacle of David were marked by hand, rejoice in the dance, clap their hands with joy, with cries of joy, adoration with the tools and the new songs prophesy of the Lord: A "Azusa Street "at the time. The services in the Tabernacle of Moses continued to perform animal sacrifices, lighting of candles, incense, presentation of the bread, etc..; All important symbol. During the reign of King David, God spoke prophetically saying that he had abandoned the ritual of the Tabernacle of Moses, choosing instead to praise and prophetic worship of the Tabernacle of David on Mount Zion. (Psalm 78:60, 68) God was so pleased by the love and adoration of David that the Shekinah (Glory of God) was now placed on the Tabernacle of David in Zion, where was placed the Ark of the Covenant. David still had to keep the use of animal sacrifices ordained by Moses at Gibeon as the final sacrifice of the Messiah had not yet been offered.

second part
The prophet Amos revealed that the worship of David, the restoration of the Tabernacle of David
IS THE WILL OF GOD FOR THE LAST DAYS.

Amos 9:11-13 "In that day, I raise up the tabernacle of David which has fallen, it will repair the ruptures, it will take over the ruins, as it was to rebuild the old days, that owns the rest of Edom and on which all nations are called by my name, saith the LORD who does this. Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, when the plowman will reach the reaper, and the wine-pressers of grapes him who sows the seed, (this includes the harvest of souls for the Kingdom of God in recent times) when the mountains shall drop wine, and all the hills shall melt. "
The Apostle James, applied the prophecy of Amos the church of the New Covenant. (Acts 15:13-16)
"We are called to come to Zion to be born in Zion, and to make our home in Zion." (Psalm 87, Isaiah 10:24, Jeremiah 40:4 - 5; Hebrews 12:18-22)
The church that worships is called Zion.
We are the home of the Lord (Psalm 132:13-16, Isaiah 10:24; 12:6:51:11,16; 60 : 14b; 62:11-12)
"Send the shouts and cries of joy, O inhabitant of Zion: For great is the Holy One of Israel among you." (Isaiah 12:6) There is a song
exclusivity that comes from celestial Sion.
It 's the song of the bride, who is passionately in love with her husband.
(Psalm 126:1-2, 137:1-4, 149:1-3, Isaiah 35:10, 51:11, 52:8, Jeremiah 31, 12, Zephaniah 3:14, Zechariah 2:10)
In the restored Tabernacle of David's songs are sung blue, as in the beginning of the century, sang at Azusa Street. We must open ourselves to the music of heaven and open our hearts to Yeshua (Jesus).
When we are born in Zion, God records our name. When we stand before the Lord for trial, he will open the five books which has seen every aspect of our lives. Note the word "books" the plural in Revelation 20:12. Only God is able to be fully fair and just trial and in every important detail of our lives is recorded in these five books, so we must assume that all these books have value and ultimate meaning in God's eternal plan
These books are:
The book of life (Psalm 69:28, Philippians 4:3, Apo. 3:5, 13:8, 20:12-15) The book
of our substance (body, DNA), and days that we were given a living (Psalm 139:15-16)
The book of our tears (Psalm 56:8) The book
those who fear (revere, obey) the Lord and believe in His name (Malachi 3 :16-17)
's book those born in Zion (Psalm 87). In this book those who love God records His presence, those who have made their hearts a dwelling place for Him we should not go to Israel and have an experience of rebirth, but we must make a decision about the make of your inner presence a priority in our lives. A worshiper is one who loves to love Him, and loves to please Him in every sphere of life.
Becoming a royal priesthood, the seven spiritual sacrifices to God to minister to David
were shown the following sacrifices:
The Sacrifice of Joy (Psalm 27:6)
The Sacrifice of a broken spirit (Psalm 51:16 - 17)
The Sacrifice of Justice (Salmo 51:19)
The Sacrifice of Thanksgiving (Psalm 107:22) The prophet Jeremiah confirms what has been given to David
The Sacrifice of Praise (Jeremiah 17:26, 33:11, Hebrews 13:15) The New
Pact adds
Giving something that you really
shall pay in addition to loss due
which implies a big pain
The personal sacrifice of doing good / Fraternization (Hebrews 13:15-16)
the sacrifice of our bodies / lives ( Romans 12:1)
Thoughts commonly associated with the sacrifice
Where the Hell is against us all praise may seem difficult, but in Hebrews 13:15 we are admonished to "continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise." How
do we come to Zion?
1. We focus our desires on the Lord (Psalm 21:4, 84:2) and become diligent about things in the house and the presence of God (Psalm 130:5)
2. We love where we are. (Psalm 78:70-71). Do not wait until you come to worship. Begin to worship at home and wherever you are.
3. Worship time.
Ephesians 5:19 "Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord" Colossians 3:16

"The word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another with all wisdom singing from the heart to God, under the impulse of grace, psalms, hymns and canticles spiritual. "
The main purpose of God in the form ourselves as a people of Zion is to make us ministers of His glory in all nations. (Psalm 87, Isaiah 43:21, Jeremiah 3:17, Micah 4:1-13, Zechariah 2:10-11) There is a labor
to Zion to bring forth children. (Isaiah 62:1-7, 66:7-9, Micah 4:10)
This is a place of intercession.
Sometimes we have to give birth to people and congregations to Zion through prayer.

WORSHIP THE TABERNACLE OF DAVID WAS A lovely

that lasted 24 HOURS A DAY
The Lord replied with prophetic songs and His glory, the Shekinah.
The enemy does not want the restoration to be placed of this shrine because his presence will cause him severe damage. The gates of hell can not support the coming of the glory of God
If the grain of the seed that was the death of Jesus had not fallen into the earth, could not produce many seeds that he has brought to life with the gift of His Spirit Santo. Satan thought that he recklessly caused the death of Jesus on the cross, but his death gave us life in the Messiah (Christ), Satan has been defeated in exactly the place where he had sought his triumph.
Just as Jesus (Yeshua) has stepped up his presence by sending His Spirit (Ruach Kodesh has) so its presence with the Ark will be multiplied.
The Lord said to Dr. Bill Bright that this country would have experienced a revival after 2 million people have prayed and fasted. After this awakening the enemy attack with fury. For three and a half years the saints will be affected by the power of the Beast. We will be weakened, but the gates of hell shall not prevail against the army of God's end-time, joined his army, which has only one heart and one mind and worship day and night in complete agreement. This is the meaning of what we are doing today. E 'practice prophetic of what will be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet Amos in chapter 9, verse 11:
"On that day, I raise up the tabernacle of David which has fallen, it will repair the ruptures, it will take over the ruins, as it was to rebuild the old days. "
When we are purified, Christ (the Messiah) is becoming increasingly manifest in us. When I worship, the Ark of the Covenant is expressed in the dimension of the spirit in many communities of believers on earth. When we worship together and the Ark will manifest great miracles will become common events as well as great gifts and donations from the foundations of the gates of hell will be shaken.
Today you will be prepared to raise its ruins. I have touched only briefly point to close the gaps, because we need to incorporate the people of Judah as well as those who have not yet been reached Word of the Lord. We are not complete without the Jewish people as well without the other peoples of the world, because the Lord said - and will be fulfilled - that His House, His Tabernacle, will be a house of prayer for all nations, tribes and languages. Amen and amen.
Our Lord Yeshua, endured the shame of the cross for the joy that was set before him. The Hebrew word "gil" is often translated as "rejoice," but literally means "to spin around for joy."
Zephaniah 3:17 says:
"The Lord your God is among you, save it as a powerful, he will rejoice with great joy because of you, you acquieterà in love her, rejoice, because of you, with cries of joy. "
The word which is translated here," he will rejoice, "is" yagil. The literal translation would then "dance and sing God because of us with joy." Since Yeshua has the freedom to dance and sing because of His bride, the more we should lay our old robes of religious outfit, and dance and sing with joy because He is in our midst?
Have you noticed that the Lord says: "... he will rest in love her." The Lord buried in Zion. God is coming to Zion to rejoice and rest in His Holy City, the New Jerusalem.
"Oh, sweet wife, my daughter, my wife, what I want to take her in my arms and sing my song. The Song of the Lamb who rejoices in it because of you. "
When we have this relationship with the Lord here on earth, His power is complete here, and we will be able to bring in the harvest, and bring whole nations to Jesus His Light. We minister to His glory to all nations.
Almost 2,000 years ago Jesus said to the Jews in the Old City of Jerusalem: "You do not see me again until you say, 'Baruch Adonai has bashem ba', 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord'. Let us give him welcome in our life here and now with these words.
The song: "She Ba Bashem Adonai" from "Shalom Jerusalem" by Paul Wilber.
(Editor's Note: During this day we danced and we saw a video of a dance of spiritual warfare that came from a Messianic synagogue. I would strongly encourage the leaders of youth groups to bring young people and others who have resistance in prolonged adoration to restore the Tabernacle of David.)
