The Feeding of the Five Thousand - Jesus Walks on Water

The part-power of the primordial power in Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ -
Explanation of the multiplication of the fishes - Living and dead food - Castigation and fanaticism - The transformation of negative habits on the path to a higher life (4-7). Fear is doubt in the power and love of God (12-13). There are no coincidences - The transformation of man into the divine only by working on himself (14). Not everyone receives help and healing (17-18)

1. The Passover feast came and the apostles and those who accompanied them gathered around Jesus and told Him everything that they had done and taught. And He said to them, "Come and let us go to a secluded place and rest a little.” For many people came and went and they could not even eat in peace.

2. And they took a boat and secretly sailed to a lonely place. But the people saw them sailing away. Many knew Him and ran there on foot from all the cities. They arrived there first and met together close by Him.

3. And as Jesus got out of the boat, He saw many people; and He was moved to compassion, for they were like sheep who had no shepherd.

4. As the day was almost over, the disciples came to Him and said, "This is a secluded place and the time is almost over. Send them away, so that they may go into the nearby villages in order to buy bread; for they have nothing to eat.”

5. But Jesus answered, saying to them, "Give them something to eat!” And they said to Him, "Should we go and buy bread for two hundred pennies and give them something to eat?”

6. But He said to them, "How much bread do you have? Go and see.” And when they knew, they said, "Six loaves of bread and seven clusters of grapes.” And He told them all to sit down on the grass in groups of fifty. And they sat down in rows of hundreds and of fifties.

7. And as He took the six loaves of bread and the seven clusters of grapes, He looked up to heaven, blessed and broke the bread and did the same with the grapes, and gave them to His disciples so that they could serve them to the people, and they distributed everything among the people. (Chap. 29:1-7)

I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:

I, Christ, worked in Jesus with the full authority of the Father; for in Jesus I was the Christ, the I Am, from eternity to eternity, the Co-Regent of the heavens.

As the part-power of the primordial power, I brought in Jesus the decisive turn in the fall event: The part-power of the primordial power became the redeeming power and is the support for all souls and people, and is effective as the energy of evolution for all souls and people.

My heritage, the part-power of the primordial power, flowed in Me, the Jesus, and worked through Me. And so I linked Myself with My mighty heritage and with this power I could do the great so-called miracles and healings.

My task also encompassed helping, healing and the raising of the dead. This I did with the full authority of My Father in connection with My heritage, the part-power of the primordial power, and with this, I showed the people the power of the Christ of God on earth. With the multiplication of the bread, the fruit and also the fish, I showed them that no person has to hunger nor be in want, if he fulfils the laws of God.

In this so-called miracle of the multiplication, it was revealed that man could live in the fullness, if he fulfilled the will of God; because the universal law is inexhaustible for spirit beings and for the souls and human beings who do the will of My Father, who is also their Father.

My disciples brought Me bread and grapes to be multiplied. On that day, dead fish were also offered to Me in order to be multiplied. As I took this dead substance into My hands, I explained to the people that the power-potential of the Father, the high power of life, was gone from it for the most part and that I would not create live fish so that they be killed again.

I explained to the people that life is in all forms of life and that man should not kill them deliberately. The people, especially the children, looked at Me very sadly. They could not understand Me, because they lived for the most part from fish, bread and little else. And then I spoke to them in the following sense: The energies of the earth are still maintaining the dead fish. And so I will not give you living fish from the Spirit of the Father; but - from the energy of the earth - I will create for you fish that are dead, that is, poor in vibration. They will never bear life and cannot be killed. I will show you how living things - bread and fruits - taste, and in comparison with them, the taste of the dead food.

And from the energies of the earth, I created for them fish which bore little spirit substance. I gave them the dead fish and, at the same time, I offered them bread and fruits to eat, so that they could recognize the difference between living and dead nourishment, between highly-vibrating and low-vibrating food.

In this and similar ways, I taught the people. Furthermore, I showed them - and with that I also show you who read My words - that every abrupt break with old habits is fanaticism. The one who lets go of his old habits from one minute to the next experiences an abrupt break and not a transformation in himself. There lies in this abrupt break the germ for a renewed outbreak of the old suppressed habits, which could then come out more persistently and be more difficult to put away than before the time of castigation.

Thus, the old habits should not be abruptly stopped, but it should be a gradual letting go that leads to a transformation in which the person turns to higher goals and values. This is a spiritual departure to new shores.

Fanaticism lies in every castigation. In feelings and thoughts, a fanatic judges his neighbours who still have the same or similar things as what he has suppressed. In this way, he nourishes what is suppressed.

Recognize that often much humanness still has to be granted to the man of habit, until he himself recognizes his mistakes and, through self-recognition and self-experience - or through suffering - lets go of the old in order to mature spiritually. This is then correct understanding and law-abiding guidance.

And so, with the multiplication of the fishes, I showed that man should transform and not castigate himself. Every transformation is accomplished in a law-abiding way; it is the complete change from a lower to a higher life. Just as a stone cannot turn into a flower from one day to the next, but only in the process of evolution, in the same way, the one whose habits lie in his blood and in his soul cannot change into an absolutely spiritual person from one hour to the next. Just as the stone changes in the course of evolution, the human being changes from the lower to the higher.

Thus, the change is a transformation from what is human to what is spiritual. In this lies the gradual letting go of humanness and at the same time the awakening of spiritual divineness.

8. And they all ate and were satisfied. And they gathered twelve baskets of pieces that were left over. There were five thousand men, women and children who ate from the bread and the fruits; and He taught them many things.

9. And when the people had seen and heard, they were filled with joy and they said, "Truly this is the prophet, the prophet who should come into the world.” And as He perceived that they were determined to make a king of Him, He urged His disciples to get into the boat and go ahead of Him to the other shore, to Bethsaida, until He had sent away the crowd.

10. And when He had sent them away, He went up on a mountain in order to pray. When the evening had come, He was there alone, but the boat was in the middle of the sea and was tossed back and forth on the waves, for the wind was against them.

11. And around the third night watch, Jesus came to them; He walked on the sea. And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea they were frightened and said, it is a ghost, and cried out in fear. But Jesus spoke to them immediately, saying, "Be of good courage. It is I, be not afraid!”

12. And Peter answered Him, saying, "Lord, if it is You, then let me come over the water to You.” And He said, "Come!” And when Peter had stepped out of the boat, he walked on the water toward Jesus. But as the wind was stormy, he became afraid and, when he began to sink, he cried out, "Lord! Save me!”

13. At that very moment, Jesus reached out His hand, caught him and said to him, "O you of little faith, why do you doubt? For have I not called you?” (Chap. 29:8-13)

I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:

Recognize that every fear is the doubt in the power of God and in His love.

God is the supporting and maintaining life. The one who doubts in this goes under. Consequently, every doubt in God is a falling away from God, a sinking into the floods of humanness.

Many people disregard the laws of God; they mistrust God through their fear and with this, they open themselves to the promptings of the satanic. Every sensation, every thought, every word and every act directed against the divine law of the supporting and maintaining all-harmony is a letting go of the hand of God and a sinking into the floods of the world.

Therefore, be attentive and practise recognizing and fulfilling the will of God. If you do not yet know the law of God in all details, then take the Ten Commandments in hand. They are excerpts from the powerful and all-encompassing law of God. Strive to recognize their meaning and to live accordingly, and gradually you will experience the whole law of God. For it is given to you today [1989] by Me through the prophetess of God, who is at the same time the teaching prophetess and spiritual ambassadress for the New Era.

The one who keeps the law of God is under His direct guidance.

14. And He went to them in the boat and the wind abated. And they were amazed and marvelled beyond all measure. Because they had not gained more insight through the miracle of the bread and fruits; for their hearts were hardened. (Chap. 29:14)

I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:

And as it was at that time, when I, in Jesus of Nazareth, abided among My own, so it is still today. Every day, so-called miracles happen. Man takes them for granted, as so-called coincidences or strokes of luck which, he believes, occur from time to time, but for which there is no explanation.

Recognize that there are no coincidences. Everything is either based on the law of sowing and reaping or is guidance and providence through the law of love. The power of Christ, which I Am, which once was embodied in Jesus of Nazareth, continues to be active in space and time. Many people are healed through My Spirit and many will be protected from bad accidents. And many a person will be led in such a way that he will be able to avoid severe problems and physical suffering. The one who believes in Me and keeps the commandment of forgiving and of asking for forgiveness and does not commit the same or similar sins anymore orients himself to My helping and healing power and receives.

All this is the so-called miracles.

My apostles and disciples were around Me daily and were witness to how the sick became healthy and how those who were believed to be dead were awakened once again to life. In spite of these experiences, the hearts of many remained cold. They were indeed amazed with these events, but it stayed at that. They could not grasp the great working of the cosmic powers, because the world still held their thoughts and senses captive.

Although I taught them the laws of God and their application, many of them remained captive in the law of sowing and reaping and were amazed every day anew at such power.

Not all of them understood that the law of God lived in them, too, and wanted to work through them in a similar way as through their master and teacher, through the Son of God in Jesus of Nazareth. They were preoccupied again and again with the same questions: Why and how come was this one and not that one helped?

Since I lived and worked in the law of My Father, I was able to bring help and healing to many people. However, I could not help many others, because they had not brought with them the prerequisites for this in their souls. Not every one of My apostles and disciples could understand this. Again and again, a few of them began to doubt in Me and to weigh the "for and against”.

I spoke to God, My Father, again and again in prayer: How long must I still remain among these inflexible and stubborn people?

Recognize: The one who just listens to the law of love and does not actualize it in his life can be around an enlightened person day after day, hour after hour; yet he remains the sinner that he was and is. The change in a person from the sinful to the divine happens through actualization, through working on oneself.

Thus, the transformation to the divine requires working on oneself beforehand. Act in such a way that you transform with Me, the Christ, your sensations, thoughts, words and actions into positive powers and then you will attain enlightenment. And then much will be made possible for you through the power of the Holy Spirit. For the one who truly follows Me will do similar things as I have done.

15. And when they got into the boat, there was a great calm. And they came to Him and paid homage to Him saying, "Truly, You are the Son of God.”

16. When they crossed over, they came into the area of Gennesaret and landed at the shore. And when they got out of the boat, He was recognized immediately. And they went about the whole surrounding countryside and when the people heard He was there, they began to bring the sick in their beds.

17. And wherever He came into villages or cities or into the countryside, they laid the sick at the roadside and asked Him that they be allowed to touch only the hem of His garment; and all those who touched Him became well.

18. And after that, Jesus came to Judea with His disciples, and He remained there and baptized many who came to Him and accepted His teachings. (Chap. 29:15-18)

I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:

Many people came to Me in Jesus of Nazareth; yet not every one of them received what he had asked for. Many came and wanted help only for their bodies, so that they could live in the flesh again, as they had formerly: in sin. Many touched the hem of My garment, yet not all of them received help and healing. Help and healing were given to those who touched the hem of My garment and believed in the love of God and continued to maintain the good in their hearts. The one who touched the hem of My garment and thought only of his body, kept sin in his heart and continued to sin in the following earthly years received neither help nor healing.

It is written, "... and He remained there and baptized many.” The word "baptism” means the blessing of the heart, of the inner being, through the Holy Spirit. I saw into the hearts of My own and recognized that those who lived in the actualization of the laws of God increased the light and the power of God in themselves every day. My blessing caused that further seeds of Inner Life germinated in them, and they strove towards perfection in order to pass on to the people what they actualized in and on themselves, in their present earthly life and in further incarnations.
