Moses Lushiku 33

The testimony emphasizes that high spirituality is essential for operating in authentic spiritual giftings and ministries. It explains that believers must undergo a process of mortification, abstinence, consecration, and self-denial to crucify the Adamic (sinful) nature and become vessels God can use. Without this, Christians remain carnal, crude, and spiritually dormant, unable to serve the Church effectively. The angel revealed that God desires His children to present themselves as living sacrifices, activating their spiritual functions and reaching the dimension where they become true instruments of God. This level of spirituality leads to deeper communion, service, and the release of divine mysteries and grace.

THE THIRD ANGEL OF SPIRITUALITY

I have a great and indescribable joy for we are discovering the benefits of high spirituality. Previously in this apocalyptic vision, the angel of the Lord made it clear to me that a proportion of my members had missed the Rapture because of low spirituality. Given the sound doctrine and prophetic teaching that I fed them with, I was in dismay, and these people could not believe that they have missed the Rapture and they were left behind.

They were saying, "This is not happening to us. Please, Lord, let this be just a dream.” They could not accept that they were left behind, and when I woke up from this End Times vision, I glorify the Lord, because this was just a vision.

Nonetheless, it is thanks to this vision that we got this message about spirituality, and it is thanks to this angelic teaching about spirituality that we are already preparing ourselves for the return of the Lord Jesus, as all the secrets about the preparation of the Church for the Rapture are being revealed to us.

Brother in the Lord, this issue of the Rapture is a big deal. Therefore let me review the previous point that we had covered about the revelation of the first and second angels of spirituality.

Basically the first angel of spirituality waits for God's children to make themselves sacred by consecrating and dedicating themselves and setting themselves apart. In this way, God’s children will develop their spiritual senses and functions.

The second angel of spirituality waits for God's children to develop the strength that will enable them to bear the temptation, so that they would become superior to the tempter. Temptation is suffering and the body must endure temptation.

Now I will talk about the message of the third angel of spirituality. I know that the world is impatient. I am also impatient to deliver the revelation.

When the third angel began to speak I remember many things. The angels of spirituality are waiting for God's children to develop their spiritual faculties and it's all about availability.

I will begin now the message of the angel of the Lord. I want to do a raw and literal reading of everything the angel said, and then we shall develop this reality that tells us in a panoramic way how to prepare ourselves for the Rapture.

When the third angel began to speak, he started with an exclamatory remark.

He said, “Oh sons and daughters of men, this is a great day for us to finally have the opportunity to express ourselves after so many millennia of years.”

Brother, I wondered how could the angel say it is a great day for them to express themselves after so many millennia of years. Does it mean that it has been millennia of years that these angels have not spoken and why is that so? We shall come back to that.

The angel of the Lord said, “We have waited so long for this moment where our task is supposed to begin.”

When the angel spoke that way, I wondered, "What is that work? And has that work not yet started all these centuries?"

The angel of the Lord said, “We angels are servants created for service. However, the objects of our service, the humans, do not allow us to operate and serve.”

The word of the angel was so strong that my whole physical being started shaking.

The angel said they were made in order to serve God but the children of God who are the objects of their service do not allow them to operate.

I came to understand that the service of angels to the Lord is narrowly bound to God's children. They work with us and in us. This is their operation and this is an issue of operation.

The angel of the Lord said, “Spirituality is when God's children rise in dimension.”

People talk about dimensions but what kind of dimension was the angel talking about? In the world, those other dimensions are philosophies, metaphysics, and otherworldly spiritisms that talk about realms and portals.

However the angel of the Lord said, “God's children rise in the spiritual dimension when their faculties move from human and ordinary usage to spiritual usage, for the purpose of the edification of the Church.”

“When your faculty is no longer for ordinary and human use they are no longer yours, they become of spiritual usage.”

“This is when the human faculty become the spiritual instrument serving for the edification of the Church and that is where your spirituality begins and you are in a new dimension.”

It is at this point that men’s natural functions become supernatural beyond the ordinary nature. The human natural function is rendered dead through mortification. The human nature is also rendered dead through charisma.

Brother, I remember how the first angel defined the word "charisma." According to the angel of the Lord, charisma is when God's children are tempted, when they have desires and when they have needs, but they are able to restrain themselves. It is when God's children restrict themselves. Charisma is when God’s people are able to abstain from things they used to do.

The angel of the Lord said that charisma is a lifestyle of abstinence, restrain and separation. It is the practice of restraining oneself from indulging in something one is attached to, typically alcohol, gluttony, gambling, smoking or sex.

Charisma is self-denial. God's children still have the baser instincts and inclinations and indulging, but it is when they refrain and deny themselves from indulging in the demand of the flesh that they become charismatic.

You are charismatic when you overcome the demand and impulse of the flesh, as a result of consecration, sanctification, and devotion.

Abstinence was the angel’s definition of charisma.

The third angel said, “Mortification means offering oneself in sacrifice and mortification kills the lower human and Adamic nature. Likewise, charisma also kills the nature, and that’s where spirituality begins. As a result, God's children’s functions and faculties benefit from this lifestyle.”

Many of God's children used to indulge themselves in smoking, drinking and sex. They had addictions in their old lives before. However when you come to Christ, deprivation and self-denial must prevail, and we deprive ourselves from the desire and inclination of the flesh.

This simply means we suffer in the body. As a consequence, our functions and faculties reach a new dimension.

This happens when our body suffers in self-sacrifice, self-denial and abstinence.

Brother, it is noble to suffer in the flesh in order to get our functions to reach the new dimension. It is good for our human faculties to progress from the ordinary usage to the spiritual usage.

We got to choose between gratifying our desires and remaining ordinary and mundane or crucifying our desires so that our functions can reach a new dimension of spirituality.

We either get the body to suffer through abstinence and consecration to reach the new dimension of spirituality and become sacred, or we indulge ourselves in the addiction and desire of the flesh and remain carnal and ordinary.

The Lord wants our functions to become spiritual for the edification of the Church.

The Lord wants us to reach a new dimension through the mortification of the flesh and abstinence, so that He can use our functions.

The functions of God's children must leave ordinary usage to spiritual usage for the edification of the Church.

The spiritual man is the man who edifies God's children, and in order to be able to edify God's children you got to reach the new dimension by sharpening your function through mortification of the flesh and suffering.

God’s children reach charisma through abstinence, mortification, self-denial and self-control by killing the human and Adamic nature and letting the spiritual senses to take over.

The angel of the Lord said, “When your functions and faculties have developed beyond human and natural use and have become spiritual, you are enabled to see the spiritual reality hidden behind the natural order. You can discover the true spiritual state of yourselves. You are able to look at yourselves through the eyes of the spirit. Through spiritual vision, you discover what you could not see through natural eyes. You got to look at the natural through the spiritual eyes.”

The angel of the Lord said, “When you have reached this stage when you have changed the usage of your function from ordinary use to spiritual use for edification, your Designer will start using you and then you become an instrument. That way you are no longer regarded as human but as an instrument of God. Then the Lord will begin to use you so that you can fulfill the reason for which you were designed.”

“When you reached the level where God begins to use you to fulfill the reason for which you were made, you have definitely reached high spirituality, for every human being with his/her faculties, is designed for a purpose.”

Today God is not using His children because they lacked spirituality and their functions are still natural. They have failed to go through charisma and mortification and they are still natural and carnal. Their faculties are given over to the use of mundane, banal, carnal, sensual and worldly things. They are egocentric, self-seeking and self-serving.

The angel of the Lord told me, “High spirituality is so high because you have reached a stage of consecration and abstinence where you become the mouthpiece of God, and God speaks through you. This is where spiritual gifts and ministries are activated for your lower human nature is dead and your functions are activated and spiritualized to operate in a new dimension.”

HIGH SPIRITUALITY FOR MINISTRY

I came to understand that high spirituality is needed to be able to serve the brethren with divine and spiritual ministries and giftings.

Brothers and sisters, when you mortify your human and Adamic nature and when you practice abstinence, you rise in the spiritual and New Adamic (Christ’s nature) dimension, and God will begin to use you in ministries and giftings.

Thanks to this angelic visitation, I came to understand why today we do not have many ministries and giftings of the Spirit that are authentic.

It is because the so-called holders of the ministries and giftings are failing to understand that we got to come out of the natural and the ordinary, and we got to become "charismatic-ized," spiritualized and divinized in our functions, faculties, and senses.

You cannot claim to be in the ministry while indulging in the desires of the flesh and addiction. This means that spirituality is not there, for high spirituality is a result of mortification and abstinence.

This explains why the spiritual level is low in many of today's ministries of teaching and giftings. We have not reached high spirituality unless we have crucified the flesh through mortification, and we are supposed to deprive the body through abstinence.

The angel of the Lord said, “When the Almighty begins to use your spiritual functions, your humanity has become an instrument in God's hands. As a result, you become a dispenser of the graces and mysteries of God.”

Ephesians 3:2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you ward:

Brother, there is a lifestyle that activates high spirituality, spiritual giftings, and ministries. It is thanks to that lifestyle of consecration that we become instruments of God. The gifts and the ministries are not external elements; they are internal. They are released through a lifestyle of consecration, dedication, and separation. We need a life of mortification and abstinence.

The angel of the Lord said, “Whoever has not gone through this process, he still has a crude and raw body, and when God's children are crude the angels of spirituality who are servants of God would not be able to operate in them. It is imperative for God's children to be crushed and to crucify the flesh in order to become sensitive to the spirit world.”

The angels said that we must become sacred through devotion, consecration and dedication, to enable the Lord to kill our humanity and our corrupt nature.

The angel of the Lord made it clear that when we first came to Christ, we were still crude and raw. Thus our bodies must be mortified and crucified, otherwise, we will not progress spiritually and we will not be able to rise to Rapture at the sound of the Trumpet.

This process of crucifixion of the flesh is painful. I mean we must endure suffering in the body so that this raw and crude body of ours will be put to death. The Lord will not use those who are crude and raw, only those who are crushed in the pain of mortification and abstinence.

When we are crude and raw, our spiritual functions are obsolete and dormant, and we cannot be God’s instruments. We are human beings, and humanity must die in us so that our functions can be used by the Lord. That way we become instruments, for we have crucified the human and Adamic nature with all its earthly, worldly, carnal, sensual desires, cravings and inclinations, and have activated, "charismatic-ized," spiritualized and divinized the human functions to operate in the spiritual, prophetic and divine dimension.

Let us ponder the word of the angel of the Lord, for he said they have waited for millennia to talk about these things.

When we look at the Old Covenant, we see the high priest offering animals to the Lord instead of offering themselves. Whole generations were given over to the practice and mentality of offering animals instead of offering themselves as living sacrifices.

This is the reason for the change in the New Testament sacrifices. Thus the Apostle Paul wrote in:

Romans 12:1-2 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

People were crude and raw; they were not offering themselves in sacrifice but they were offering animals, and it took time for people to understand that we are the offering and we are the sacrifice that God wants. We must carry the cross to the altar and we must die on the altar.

The Bible says in:

Isaiah 53:1-12
1 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?
2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and with his stripes we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death, and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

Moses Lushiku 30

The testimony explains that true spirituality is marked by enduring temptations, trials, and suffering, through which believers grow stronger and earn a crown of life promised by God. Unlike angels, humans have flesh that must be offered as a living sacrifice, and by resisting fleshly desires, they participate in a sacred “cult of self-denial” that leads to spiritual anointing and glory. Jesus is the perfect example, having taken on flesh to face and overcome temptation, demonstrating that suffering is essential to spiritual elevation. Ultimately, resisting temptation is both a test and an opportunity to rise above the enemy and live a holy, consecrated life pleasing to God.

THE REVELATION OF THE SECOND ANGEL

Previously I talked about the function of the first Angel of spirituality, who sharpens the spiritual function of the believer. He works in human hearts and abilities. He sharpens the art of delivering speeches with greater wisdom and intellect. This angel sharpens the five senses so they can function beyond the human limit that they usually use. God's children are supposed to have visions and understanding from the spiritual realm and from heaven's perspective. They should rise beyond the earthly dimension to the heavenly realm to perceive things from heaven so that they will render sermons, teachings, and speeches with greater depth and accurate spiritual insight.

The condition to enter and operate in this first function of spirituality is sacredness, which is consecration by setting oneself apart and denying the self-life. A believer’s growth is measured or ascertained in direct proportion and correlation to the degree that he abides and lives with Jesus in the Spirit, as it is written in Galatians 5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit and Galatians 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

It is also according to the depth of loss and sacrifice of his self-life as Luke 9:23–24 says, And He said to them all, If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me. For whoever will save his life shall lose it: but whoever will lose his life for My sake, the same shall save it.

A believer’s consecration is indicated by how much his heart is involved with Jesus, as Mark 12:30 says, And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength: this is the first commandment.

Consecration also means living outside your personal interests, as Luke 14:26 says, If any man come to Me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple. And Luke 14:33 So likewise, whoever he be of you that forsakes not all that he has, he cannot be My disciple.

Such a consecrated life will manifest divine results through the activities of faith, that has the Spirit of intercession stemming from the abiding presence of Jesus in his consecrated life, and is permeated by the fruit of the Spirit.

These Scriptures will manifest in his consecrated life:
Matthew 5:46–48 For if you love them which love you, what reward have you? do not even the publicans the same? And if you salute your brothers only, what do you more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be you, therefore, perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Galatians 5:22–24 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such, there is no law. And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

I remember when I was visited by the angel for the first time, they told me, “Moses, we walk your street, we enter your house, but you don't see us and sense our presence for your sensibilities are low. You are busy with the affairs of terrestrial life. You are full of the worries of this life, therefore you lose your spiritual sensibility.”

Beloved, we must remember that our consecration, our dedication, and our sacredness cause the angel of spirituality to sharpen and activate our spiritual faculties. Consecration and development are enough to take us to heaven. The cult of the offering of oneself on the altar of sacrifice is enough to open the ancient portal of the heavenly domain. Our death on the altar and the worship and cult of self-sacrifice is what the Apostle Paul called reasonable worship.

Romans 12:1 I beseech you, therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.

Our life must be a worship and cult of the sacrifice of the body in order to maintain a high spirituality.

Brother and sister, when the second Angel of spirituality began to speak, he said, “The order was given to me by the Lord to reveal to you a secret that you must understand and it will be good for you.”

Beloved, the angel of the Lord asked me, “Moses, do you know why you humans are superior to angels?”

When the angel spoke that way, this was new information for me—to learn that somehow we humans are superior to angels that we admire.

Then the angel began to explain to me why men are superior to angels. This was very interesting.

The Angel of the Lord said, “Obviously, you humans think that we angels are superior to you, because we fly and move at high speed like flying engines. But that is not the case. As angels are created spirit beings without physical bodies, we do not have the principle of offering the body. Angels are spirits without the body, so we cannot render to God the cult of sacrificing the body.”

“When the Lord said, ‘Let Us make man in Our image, in Our likeness,’ the Lord made humans in His image, which is divinity. Therefore, man is humanity mixed with divinity, which we angels don't have, and this is what is missing in us. The faculties of your spirits are activated when you consecrate and set your bodies apart.”

“Notice that in the creation of angels, the faculties of our spirits were activated automatically. We did not have to do sacrifice in order to activate these divine abilities. Unlike God's children who consecrate their bodies to initiate these faculties, we have never done any sacrifice of the body as required for humans, for our secret is simply holiness, yet humans have double influence and double impact.”

“The first one is the flesh, which is the offering for consecration and the cult of the offering of the body. Moreover, you have holiness, which leads you to divinity. This is where the difference between angels and humans is: your body is for sacrifice and offering and your holiness is for divinity.”

The angel said to me, “I want to show you the evidence of my claim. In the law, which is the Bible, the Almighty God took flesh and blood in order to become flesh and render the cult of the sacrifice of the body. He offered Himself on the altar of the cross. As a result, He was sovereignly elevated, as it is written in 1 Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached to the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.”

The angel said, “The Almighty God took flesh and became a sacrifice. As a result, He was sovereignly exalted. Now I want to ask you a question, was the Almighty not highly raised before this sacrifice? Was He not always highly elevated? This is a mystery, for high spirituality begins with the flesh. If you can understand this, in order to be tempted to sin, you're going to need to have a body. Therefore I beseech you to be happy whenever you are tempted for the principle of the flesh is fulfilled in trials, tests and temptations.”

“The Almighty is incarnated in human flesh when Christ came in the flesh. If He had not been tempted in the flesh, He would not have experienced and fulfilled this spiritual lesson. The Almighty God the Christ was supposed to undergo the exercise of mortification. We are never hungry. But the Almighty needed a body in order to experience hunger. This is the meaning of the 40 days and nights of fasting and praying in the wilderness so that the tempter will come to tempt Him.”

“This was the imposition of self-suffering on purpose. God took flesh to impose suffering upon Himself on purpose. The Almighty has taken flesh as He said that greatness is found in suffering in the flesh. Do you know why? It is because suffering is the proof of sacrifice. The Almighty needed a body for the sake of the sovereignty of His name. Thus the glory of the latter Temple shall be greater than that of the former one.”

Haggai 2:9 The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, said the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, said the LORD of hosts.

The angel asked me, “What do you think of this new Temple? In the Old Covenant the Almighty was dwelling in the tent. This was unconscious glory for the temple was made up of material elements that were unaware of being inhabited by the glory of God. The utensils of the tabernacle were seized by the glory but they were just inanimate objects. This was the first temple.”

“However the Second Temple will be more glorious for it will be conscious and a living temple. The first temple was made of material, but the Second Temple is man. Thus, this Second Temple is physical, in the bodies of men.”

1 Corinthians 6:19 What? know you not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which you have of God, and you are not your own?

The prophet Isaiah says He was a man of suffering and accustomed to suffering.
Isaiah 53:3 He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief.

“He needed to be accustomed to suffering, as the Bible says,
Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love Him.”
(James 1:12)

Then the angel of the Lord told me, “Moses, the first angel talked to you that he works on the hearts. He sharpened men’s functionality. He sharpened men’s ability and organ of senses when men set themselves apart in consecration. This is the first step towards spirituality.”

“However, I work in the field of temptation. I do not tempt anybody, but I observe the reaction of God's children during temptations, tests, and trials. I observe how the believer bears the temptation, how they withstand the temptation, and how they overcome the temptation.”

“The believer must get used to the suffering of the temptation. Whenever God's children are tempted, it's a suffering that they are supposed to bear. It is physical suffering that they have to overcome.”

THE ROLE OF THE SECOND ANGEL OF SPIRITUALITY

The purpose of this second Angel of spirituality is to observe us, and he is waiting for a reaction during tests and trials. He observes every time we bear the temptation. He observes when we overcome the test, and when we don't yield to the temptation, for when the believer gets used to suffering in bearing the temptations, the trials, and the tests, he has reached a culminating point in spirituality.

The angel said, “It is at that point I reserve a crown for him. It is after enduring the temptation that a crown is reserved for you. A crown is reserved for God's children who have gotten used to suffering and enduring the temptation. A crown is available only to those who bear and endure temptations.”

THE MYSTERY OF THE CROWN

“Now I want to talk to you about the mystery of the crown that comes after bearing suffering and temptation. When the Almighty was full of the Spirit, He went to the desert in search of the tempter. He went to the desert to meet the tempter. He faced the temptation for this was supposed to give Him superiority over the tempter. Jesus wanted to be tempted deliberately in order to overcome the temptation and suffering that is involved and take superiority over the tempter.”

“Whenever you are tempted, if you bear the temptation and the suffering, in the end, you will come out superior to the tempter. It is only when you bear the test, the temptation, and the suffering that you dominate the enemy. You can claim to dominate the devil and Satanists but this domination will have power only when you have resisted and overcome their temptation and suffering. That is the origin of superiority.”

“That is why I give the crown of life to the one who has resisted the temptation and bore the suffering faithfully and successfully. From now on, don't look at temptation as a bad thing. Consider your temptations and tests as the means by which the Almighty wants to place you above your enemy, the ruler of this world.”

SPIRITUAL PROGRESSION THROUGH TRIALS

“The number of tests and trials in your life is the number of degrees that you are supposed to climb. Each test, trial, and temptation is a degree you are called to rise. These are dimensions in the walk of the believer that we call spirituality. This is the cult of suffering and deprivation that you are called to do.”

“God doesn't force you to endure the trials and temptations and you have the freedom to yield and succumb to them. However, whenever the flesh is enticing, seducing or provoking you to respond to its desires, it raises an alarm to your spirituality. When the desires of the flesh are aroused, the believer will be tested and tried to subjugate and suppress them. They will rise in their spirituality if they successfully overcome those desires. Those who yield to the flesh will diminish their spirituality. The arousal of illicit fleshly desires and cravings raises the alarm and threat to one’s spirituality. Those who resist steadfastly and unyieldingly to those trials, tests, and temptations in the spirit of long-suffering and patience are offering to God the cult of self-denial and deprivation.”

“When you guard yourself from what you can do in the name of deprivation, you are rendering a cult of self-sacrifice to the Lord. Whenever the flesh is craving for its gratification, this is the alarm and threat to your spirituality. And when you resist the flesh and its unlawful desires, you have initiated the cult of self-denial, self-sacrifice, and deprivation to the Lord.”

THE SECOND PRINCIPLE OF SPIRITUALITY

“This is the second principle of spirituality. This is why it is written in John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh and dwelled among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”

“People saw the glory of the Almighty when He took flesh with the intent of suffering and getting used to suffering. The Word of God said He got used to suffering.
Isaiah 53:3 He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief.”

“When the Almighty took flesh, He has fulfilled the law of humanity, the law of the flesh, for spirituality begins in the body by crucifying the flesh. The Almighty God got used to suffering in order to overcome temptation and to master the tempter.”

“It is written in the law we have contemplated His glory, for He has become flesh and human, yet the Almighty who had manifested in flesh and humanity after experiencing suffering and temptation was elevated in glory, for glory is in humanity and the flesh.”

“When you stay in your body, you use the elements that make you a priest. Note that you must offer yourself. In the new priesthood, you are the sacrifice. You are your sacrifice. Your flesh is the sacrifice. When you offer yourself to God as an offering, this offering enables the glory of God to come upon you and use you. The one who abuses his body does not have an offering. The one who sanctifies, purifies, immolates, consecrates his body and then offers his holy body to God as a living sacrifice will see the glory of God come down and consume his offering. For God is a Consuming Fire (Heb 12:29) who makes His ministers flames of fire (Heb 1:7).”

THE CHARISMA FROM THE FLESH

“The Word was made flesh, but we angels don't have this manifestation in flesh. We cannot manifest in the flesh in order to get used to suffering because we don't have flesh. We envy you while you envy us. It is thanks to the offering and sanctification of the flesh that you become anointed by the Holy Spirit and thus become Charismatic. We are not Charismatic; the charisma has to do with the flesh. Since we are not flesh, we are not Charismatic. Charisma is via the offering of the body. The anointing of the Holy Spirit and Charisma come when you are tempted in the flesh and you are not yielding to the demands of the flesh and resisting the flesh. We angels are not in the flesh and cannot offer the body in self-sacrifice and resistance to temptation, so we cannot have access to the anointing and charisma of the Holy Spirit. We are just holy.”

“What is your concept of spirituality? When the Lord ordered us to work in you in terms of spirituality, you thought that spirituality is the atmosphere of God's presence. But spirituality is not the atmosphere of God's presence; spirituality is when a man understands that he is the offering and the sacrifice. It is not the laying of hands as you think. When you rely on anointed pastors and prophets to lay hands on you to increase your spirituality, you are nullifying the mission of angels of spirituality whose role is to sharpen the spiritual faculties of your inner man during your times of consecration.”

THE ATMOSPHERE OF CONSECRATION

Spirituality is in the inward nature of man that brings about an atmosphere of God's presence, not the other way around. And this atmosphere of God’s presence can be felt by the one who has been living a crucified and sanctified life of consecration and resistance to temptation. Not everyone will feel the atmosphere of the presence of God in him. Only the one who practices the cult of self-offering, self-denial, self-sacrifice and deprivation will do so.

This was the last word of the angel of the Lord. Brother, whenever we are tempted, it is a test that will expose who we really are and what our spiritual level is. Either we oppose and resist the flesh or we yield to the demands of the flesh. Whenever we are tempted, the angel of spirituality will be present to attend the test in which we are subjected to. It is those who render to the Lord the cult of suffering in their flesh that can withstand and resist the demands of the flesh.

A DAILY SACRIFICE

Brother, your body is the offering and sacrifice available and in your disposal, which you are supposed to offer as a sacrifice and offering to the Lord. Since you need your offering and sacrifice to be holy, you're going to need a daily cult of self-denial and suffering. When you defile the body, it becomes an impure offering and an impure sacrifice. Yet the body is the only sacrifice that can exalt you in high spirituality.

The Lord took flesh and blood to impose suffering on His body. Then He got used to suffering through diverse temptations He was subjected to. The Prophet Isaiah said the Lord was a man of suffering who got used to suffering. We must get used to suffering, which are diverse temptations and trials happening in our body to mortify it. This is the price we need to pay, for when we bear and resist these tests, we shall inherit the crown of glory.

Romans 5:3–5 We also rejoice in our sufferings because we know that suffering produces perseverance, perseverance, character, and character, hope and hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out His love into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, whom He has given us.

THE CROSS AND THE GLORY

Our body is an offering and sacrifice. We have the case of the Almighty God who knew the importance of the body which is an offering. He took flesh and blood with the intent of suffering and sacrifice, and He suffered in the flesh in order to confirm His exhortation.

And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to death, even death on a cross. Therefore, God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name above all names, that at the name of Jesus, every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth. (Phil 2:6–11)

The temptation is a good thing. It is a test that catapults us in glorification. The Lord has shown an example in dying on the cross to demonstrate that He deserves His crown after partaking the flesh and the suffering.

We are a kingdom of priests and our central offering and holocaust is our body, and our daily offering is the cult of the offering of body. The apostle Paul said, this is your true and proper worship. Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God. (Rom 12:1)

When the Lord agreed to suffer in the Mount of Transfiguration, He shone with great light. When Moses and Elijah came, they brought to Him the message of suffering and death of the Lamb on the cross for humanity, and when He agreed to be the sacrifice, He shone—for glory comes as a result of sacrifice.

THE SUPERIORITY OF MAN THROUGH THE BODY

The body means that man is superior to angels, for he can render to God the worship and cult of the offering of oneself in order to obtain glory. God's children should live on the altar of sacrifice by dying every day. This is the reasonable worship service offered to the Lord. As St. Paul said, “I die daily.” (1 Corinthians 15:31)

The angels have no flesh to offer as a sacrifice in order to get such elevation and exaltation. They are just holy. The Almighty got Himself the body in order to die on the altar, and He was highly elevated. The fear of the Lord gives us holiness, and the offering of oneself gives us glory.

Moses Lushiku 29

This testimony reveals the message of the first angel, who emphasized that true spirituality begins with the offering and consecration of the body. Believers are called to sacrifice worldly pleasures, live a set-apart priestly life, and maintain devotion and purity in order to activate spiritual senses and deepen their walk with God. The angel warned that many were left behind at the Rapture because of weak spirituality—the result of living according to the flesh rather than the Spirit. Spirituality, according to the angel, is directly linked to the mortification of fleshly desires and daily discipline in prayer, Bible reading, and service. Falling into repetitive sin dulls one’s spiritual sensitivity, but repentance and renewed consecration can restore one’s spiritual position and function.

THE MYSTERY OF THE 4 ANGELS OF SPIRITUALITY

Welcome, beloved. I saw in a vision, the Rapture of the church, and I saw many people in white garments around me. The angel revealed to me that these innumerable people from all over the world were people that were supposed to rise thanks to my ministry. However, these people only rose to an altitude of two meters and they fell back and were left behind.

I was puzzled. I wondered why all these people were left behind. I said in my heart, “I preached the End Times message and sound doctrines to all these people.” I was in regret for only a few people were rising towards the heights.

The Angel of the Lord said, “These countless people that you saw gathered around you in white garments are people that were supposed to rise thanks to your message. They have managed to rise above the ground at an altitude of two meters and 50 centimeters. They could not go further. They fail to climb to heaven.”

“And they have stayed for three reasons. These people were in the church but they did not consecrate themselves totally. They failed to live in a total alliance with the Lord.” He continued to speak and he said, “The third category of the faithful who came to the church, despite everything they did not seize the opportunity to develop their spirituality. Since the Rapture is done in the spirit, the believer who has a weak spirituality could not be sucked up.”

When the angel of the Lord talked about spirituality, I did not know what he meant. While he was explaining to me I saw the faithful who missed the Rapture in the process of losing the altitude until they found themselves on the ground.

After this Rapture experience, the Lord sent His angel to explain to me how to develop the spirituality of the church so that they will be able to ascend in the Rapture. I was in tears to realize that despite my messianic ministry and sound doctrine, the great majority of people of my ministry were left behind.

As a result, four bright angels appeared to me. And each one of them gave me a principle of spirituality, how to become spiritual, how to have a high spirituality in order to be caught away in the Rapture at the sound of the trumpet. I will explain literally what they revealed to me.

On that day we were in a prayer meeting with brothers and sisters when suddenly I realized among us, there were four shining angels. They were dressed in garments of the purest white. I saw that they were not touching the ground for they were suspended in space.

These angels were very eloquent when they were speaking. I have written everything they told me here in order to transmit literally their revelation about spirituality that we need for the Rapture.
There were four angels in our church on that day. And each of these angels revealed to me a specific revelation about the spirituality of God’s children. I want you God’s people to follow me carefully.

This is what the first angel said to me. I will read in order to transmit faithfully their message. The first angel told me, “You heard that there were people appearing in the Old Testament. These people were not human, they were angels in physical form. Since the day the Almighty decided to make us what we are, He gave us a form so that we will be able to sneak into humanity so as to communicate with humans for our specificity is to work with humans. We are your companions in the service of the Lord the closest. In spite of this, we have been very far from you. But in the beginning, it was not so. The spiritual reality for which the Almighty has resolved to give us this form is so that you can have a representation of us.”

“Spirituality is often when we come to speak to you in dream, and when we come, most people think they were dreaming, failing to realize that they are in contact with us. People that speak to you in dreams are us. The Lord has made available that dispensation in order to bring spiritual things into your perception.”

What do you think about spirituality? We are going to explain to you the principles that will astonish you. Many who have missed the Rapture in the last experience because of failure to grasp this principle. When a spiritual takes shape it is for the sake of incarnation.

The angel told me “When men design machines, these apparatus may resemble one another, but they become different when you add new capacity that give it new functionality beyond the original design. This is the same principle with spirituality."

“Spirituality is charisma. It's a bit paradoxical. Spirituality begins in the bodies of humanity. When a human being understands that he has to develop sacredness in which his body will be set apart, it is at that moment that spirituality begins. The moment you decide to set your body apart for consecration, spirituality begins and you become spiritual.”

“This dedication, sanctity, and consecration will impact the body which will transmit the message to the inner man. As a result, the spiritual faculty of your body will start off. Consider your body as the starting point. Your body when it is set apart, dedicated and consecrated become the starter of spirituality, but humans have inversed this principle and they expect spirituality to happen to their body, ignoring the fact that it is their body that produces spirituality.”

“It is when men set themselves apart in consecration, dedication, and devotion that they generate spirituality. The prerequisite is when you offer your body as a sacrifice to the Lord, as it is written in the law. For the Apostle Paul, your brother told you this mystery, but no one understood his language.”
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. (Romans 12:1)

“Note when you offer the member of your body as a living sacrifice, you are rendering a cult to the Lord. This is called the cult of the body, which is the cult of offering oneself to the Lord on the altar. It is the cult of the offering of the body. It is when you render the Lord this cult of offering your body and consecrating yourself that the faculty of the spirit being will be activated and you become spiritual.”

“Whenever you crucify, whenever you mortify and discipline your body on the altar of sacrifice and self-denial, your spirit senses and faculties will become awakened. This is the principle of spirituality. Men have gone far to seek high and elevated things yet everything begins with your body that must be set apart. It must be sacrificed and consecrated in piety and devotion.”

“Spirituality is when your body becomes the Temple of the Almighty. Understand that your spirituality is first and foremost the body that must be slaughtered on the altar. For the body, once it is consecrated and set apart, you attract us, the angels of spirituality, and we work with you.”
“However, when the intensity of your sacredness, devotion, and consecration become diminished, we work from outside. Your daily devotion and piety give us the possibility to work in you and use you. When you deny the cravings of your body to sanctify yourself in prayer, Bible reading and meditation, we come and animate you and develop the faculty of your inner man. We only work on human faculty to develop it. That's our domain of operation.”

“We work on your intelligence in order to sharpen it. However, we have been in unemployment for thousands of years, because of the way you use your body. When members of your body are stained in sin, we cannot operate.”

The angel began to talk about the laughter of babies at this point. They give the explanation of the laughter of babies.

The angel said, “We are behind the laughter of babies. They are innocent, they have not seen or heard anything. We are the ones who communicate with them, telling them to grow up quickly, grow quickly so that we can guide them. But the more the child grows, the more he turns to evil and our unemployment continues until the day of baptism when they commit to the Lord and we take over their bodies made sacred by the water of baptism, for they are reborn and made sacred again through the new birth.”

“And when we enter we activate the function of your spirit. God’s children have spiritual functions and spirituality. We cause your functions to be activated and sharpened to communicate with the celestial world. That's when your spirituality grows higher, deeper and stronger.”

“We operate in the function of spirituality. We have received instruction to enter your life and to use your function. And when we enter, we look at your heart, which is your ability, your speech, your brain, and your intellect. That is why we take human shape.”

“It is the testimony of your function. We work on men and our purpose is to perfect men’s functionality. God’s children have functions that they ignore, and time has come in the name of this dispensation for you to discover your functions to fulfill their objectives.”

“Moreover, men have five senses. However, without the work that the Lord sent us to do, the senses of your organ will remain natural. The consecration, sacredness and dedication allow us to sharpen your functionality to make you understand things differently so that you can be better servants.”
“When you practice the cult of offering your body and when you consecrate yourself and you sacrifice your body, your spiritual function gets activated and your senses get sharpened and you do not need another sacrifice to raise your spirituality. For your body is the sacrifice to be offered in order to activate the spiritual functionality of your body.”

“That is why we said spirituality is your body, which is the available offering for slaughter and immolation. This is the secret.”

THE MESSAGE OF THE FIRST ANGEL

This was the message of the first angel that was based on the cult of offering and slaughtering the body and dedication and devotion for the sake of activating the function of the believer and to sharpen our senses.

Brother, my understanding of this angelic revelation is that to sacrifice the body means you are in the world but you live a priestly lifestyle opposed to and segregated from the world system like the Nazarene. You are in the world but the things of the world are of no interest and no attraction to you. You turn your back to the world and its pleasure and entertainment in order to wait on the Lord. This is what we mean to be set apart. Withdraw from this world. This is the sacrifice for excellence.

THE CONSECRATED BODY AND THE WORK OF ANGELS

In this first part of the angels are claiming, demanding and asking for our bodies to be sacrificed and consecrated so that they will work in us. Whenever the kingdom of priests defile their bodies with sin, they prevent the angels of spirituality from sharpening the function of the inner man and the organs of their five senses. Thanks to consecration and the offering of the body, the five senses of God’s children, including their intelligence and speech, get sharpened, and they become able to see and hear beyond the limit.

THE DANGER OF DEFILEMENT AND WEAK SPIRITUALITY

When the angel sharpened your vision, the angel causes the activation of the gift of spiritual vision, but stain and defilement of the body and sin bring down the spirituality of God’s children, and we become carnal. Christians fall in sin when they fail to keep their devotion and their duty, when they forget who they are, and they think they are like those of the world. Since we are set apart, we cannot act like everybody.

The angel said, “Many were left behind because they have weak spirituality. And in order to have good spirituality, you need to live according to the Spirit, killing the action of the flesh. Whenever we deprive the flesh of its desire, our spirituality goes up. When we live according to the Spirit, we destroy the work of the flesh, refusing the demand, the desire, and the order of the flesh.”

RESTORING YOUR SPIRITUAL POSITION

Spirituality, according to the angel of the Lord, is the deprivation of the flesh. In order to rise when the trumpet will sound, one has to be spiritual, which means crucifying the works of the flesh.
Romans 8:13, For if you live according to the flesh, you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

A sin that is a mistake is no longer a mistake when it becomes repetitive. When David fell in fornication, in his prayer, he said, “Lord, I am formed from dust.” But after this prayer, we saw that David did not fall again. When you fall in sin, you lose your virtue. When you fall and sinned, you must ask yourself why you have fallen, and so the next time you take measure, for when you fall you lose your spiritual dimension.

You're going to need to practice your devotion again in order to regain your spiritual position and dimension. It is a strict observance of daily devotion of prayer, Bible reading, and service that enables you to regain your position.

Previously saying, "Sacrifice and offering, burnt offerings, and offerings for sin You did not desire, nor had pleasure in them" (which are offered according to the law), then He said, "Behold, I have come to do Your will, O God." He takes away the first that He may establish the second. By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God, from that time waiting till His enemies are made His footstool.
