God’s curse will fall on USA
Post date: 2015-02-10Autor: BCP
The USA is making a blasphemous film called “Corpus Christi”, where Satanists and perverts play the roles of our Savior Jesus Christ and His Apostles and present them as a gay club. This hideous parody has run in the US theaters for several years. This year a movie shall be released with the purpose of spreading this height of denigration around the world!Every U.S. Christian is obliged to actively raise his/her voice in protest against this heinous blasphemy. Let them do so by signing a petition or holding protest demonstrations. If U.S. Christians remain silent, they will fall under God’s curse!
We prevail with Christ alone
Post date: 2015-02-09Autor: BCP
Sin is rebellion against God. Through sin man loses eternal life. However, Jesus paid for us, for all our sins. If we turn to Jesus with faith, we receive the forgiveness of sins. The biggest problem is that we do not want to admit our sin. And so we walk in darkness. If we are not self-critical, we are unable to perceive the truth around us. Unless you are rooted in the truth, in the time of spiritual battle the devil will pull your leg and defeat you. But if you are rooted in the truth and in Christ, if you know that you must not let yourself be caught in a trap and if you cling to Christ, you will conquer the whole hell.

The fight for souls!
Post date: 2015-02-05Autor: BCP
If you want to convert others to the faith, you must pray and bear witness. If you discuss with them, the demon that enslaves them will defeat you. In this fight for the salvation of souls we must learn to wear the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, the belt of truth and the sword of the Spirit!

The spirit of pharisaism
Post date: 2015-02-03Autor: BCP
The spirit of pharisaism is a spirit which vegetates in the Church in a special way. One must take a whip and drive it out of the temple of God like the money-changers. Religious Pharisees hate the truth. They are full of rebellion and pride. They neither enter the kingdom of God themselves, nor do they allow others to enter it, as Jesus said in the Gospel.
Reflection on Jn 15:16
Post date: 2015-01-31Autor: BCP
Think to yourself for a moment that God chose you: “I did not choose You, my God and Saviour, but You chose me before the foundation of the world...” (cf. Eph 1:4) Jesus wants me to bear fruit – the fruit of works done according to the will of God and in faith. This fruit should remain forever! Jesus assures us again that the Father will give us whatever we ask in His name. This holy name of God is “Yehoshua” (Lord is my salvation).

Reflection on Jn 15:12-13
Post date: 2015-01-17Autor: BCP
Jesus emphasizes this commandment twice on the evening before His death. He says: “A new commandment I give to you”, and He adds: “By this shall all men know that you are My disciples, if you have love one to another.” The Greek original of the Gospel uses the term “agape” for “love”. This is the love by which Jesus has loved us. How has Jesus loved us? Being God, He became man; He humbled Himself, assumed human weakness, yet without sin. He was innocent and yet sentenced to death, even death on a cross. He suffered the pains of scourging, crowning with thorns, the way of the cross; He suffered dying amid mockery and in abandonment, and finally painful death. He paid the price for your sin.
Prophetic prayer for the resurrection of Russia and Ukraine
Post date: 2015-01-13Autor: BCP
Before beginning this prayer, admit your sins before God and before yourself: I am an egoist. When someone admonishes me for whatever error, I take offence. I criticize and condemn others; however, what I condemn I do myself. I see the speck in my neighbour’s eye, but I cannot see the log in my own eye. I am lazy to seek the truth and to endure suffering for its sake. I do not read the Bible and the lives of saints, and I am not familiar with them. I do not bear in mind the ultimate reality, which is death, God’s judgment and eternity! I am interested in all kinds of philosophies or psychologies, but I do not seek the true psychology and philosophy of the Gospel which is vital in life.“The wages of sin is death.” Jesus died for you and for your sins. The name “Jesus” is a Graecised form of the Hebrew name “Yehoshua”. It is the holy name of God and the Word of God says about it: “Whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Rom 10:13)
Spiritual mobilization of women in Russia and Ukraine
Post date: 2015-01-12Autor: BCP
Dear women and mothers, God turns to you and wants you to mobilize in this spiritual battle for the salvation of your nation from moral, spiritual and physical autogenocide. Satanic globalization, which destroys all moral values and Christianity at the root, fights even for Ukraine. What should you do for the salvation of the nation? Penance! More specifically: Restrict watching TV or rather turn it off for the whole of this year. Make a promise to God for one year that you will spend at least one hour every day in prayer. Pray daily a so-called holy hour from 8 to 9 p.m.Dissociate yourselves from the influence of fortune-tellers, horoscopes and signs of the zodiac, extrasensory individuals, and rock music with the roots in satanic voodoo which disposes to occultism, drugs, sexual perversion and cynicism. This calls down a curse on the individual and the nation!

Patriarch Elijah’s message on the feast of the Nativity of Christ 2014
Post date: 2014-12-24Autor: BCP
At Christmas, we commemorate the coming of our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ into this world as a defenceless child. “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.” (Jn 3:16) God gave us the most precious Gift – His Only Begotten Son. Jesus died for our sake. He, the Son of God, rose from the dead, that we should not perish but have eternal life. But there is one condition: saving faith. Only he who believes in Him and receives Him by this personal faith has eternal life and is a child of God.
