Come and have breakfast at the table of the kingdom of the heavens on the earth! Come, so that I may give you the kingdom of the heavens! Come, you who are hungry and thirsty on the earth!

„Oh, people of My word! My word has made you into My people. It has in it the spirit of the birth from above over the man. It has the spirit of the resurrection in it, and by it eve-rything has become new and all those that are old pass away when the spirit of My word is working.”
