TRUE LIFE IN GOD
June 2014 ISSUE 25 ISSN 1363-9358 MAGAZINE
I must apologise again for the lateness of this issue of
the TLIG Magazine. Like many others I have been busy
with other things; especially with my duties as a Parish
Priest. As I get older the work gets harder! But as readers
know, the production of the magazine is a team effort
and it is David Armitage who sets out the magazine and
prepares it for printing. Ewa Allan does valuable work in
checking the articles and arranging them for publication.
Most of the reports are checked and prepared by Maggie
and Jonathon Kosoy in U.S. Others are involved in
writing the reports and providing photographs.
There will be another magazine shortly which should
contain any reports that have not yet been published.
Please remember the magazine and its “staff” in
your prayers from time to time. Like everything else
connected with TLIG and evangelisation, it is a target
for the “enemy”. May the Holy Spirit continue to guide
us in our work.

Vassula was born in Egypt of Greek parents on
18 January 1942. She is married and has two
grown-up boys. Although baptised into the Greek
Orthodox Church she rarely thought of God until
1985 when she began to receive Divine Messages.
These have been named, by Jesus Himself, True
Life in God. They have now been translated into
over 40 languages and all the work has been done by volunteers; Vassula
receives no royalties for any books published.
In these Prophetic Messages (some of the prophecies have already been
fulfilled) God is calling the whole of His creation to return to Love while
asking Christians to unify His Body, His Church (“Orthodox! Catholics!
Protestants! You all belong to Me! You are all One in My Eyes!”). Vassula’s
mission is to go out and proclaim the Truth. She has now visited over 70
countries and has spoken in over 900 meetings, some wiith audiences as
large as 100,000 people.
About the Messages of
True Life in God
True Life in God Messages are profoundly spiritual and are written in
a clear and direct language. We are invited to enter into conversation
with God substituting Vassula’s name in these texts for our own. Once
having done that we are gently led into the mysteries of the Triune God
and begin to grow in the Knowledge of God. Through the bounty of
the Holy Spirit acting in us (Second Pentecost) we then begin to grow
in God’s Love, Peace and Unity. Jesus’ prayer to the Father (John 17;21)
“
may they be one in Us, as You are in Me and I am in You, so that the world
may believe it was You who sent Me
;” will then be accomplished. Jesus
explains about this prayer on 10 December 2001: “
My words intonated
were meant that the whole of creation must be affected into a spiritual
unity not a unity by a signed treaty; to fulfil My Words the churches must
seek first humility and love, graces that can be obtained through the Holy
Spirit and through a great repentance;
”
In the latest Messages published under the title of Odes of the Holy
Trinity, the Holy Trinity summarize the purpose of these Divine
Messages: to rediscover the revealed Truth and to enter into the
spiritual espousal with God, the wedding feast of Apocalypse Chapter
21. In that union of creature with God, God’s Will will be done on earth
as it is in Heaven, for we will find true Life, the life in God and with God.
