THE SPIRIT OF THE MAN, BAPTISM, INDWELLING SPIRIT, HOLY SEAL, HOLY SEALING, AND THE SEALED SERVANT



Definition of Terms

The spirit of the man, or the man himself stripped of his physical body, is indissolubly united to his physical body until his death, the one who will face the judgment seat of God, the one who will be rewarded, punished or purgated.

The Holy Seal is a sign or mark of the holy Cross, written by Beloved INGKONG, using the last drop of the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ in Calvary, on the forehead of the spirit of the man. It serves as a spiritual “Warning Post”, visible in the spirit world, that the said person is a throne of a holy spirit [i.e. saint or Angel]. The message written is “OCCUPIED! A Spirit-seal and Beloved INGKONG live here!”

The Spirit-seal is the spirit of an Angel or a Saint from heavenly Jerusalem whom Beloved INGKONG brings down and enthrones in man, the sealed servant.

The Sealed Servant is the person who received the mark of the cross and became the throne of a particular Spirit-seal. The terms sealed servant, person, throne, and man will be used here synonymously.

The Indwelling Spirit is the Spirit Presence of God in every Christian soul.

The Use of the Words Holy Spirit, holy spirit, spirits, Sealed Servant, and sealed servant.

The Holy Scripture contains several references to the word and the person of the spirit and oftentimes the reader is apt to understand that it always refers to the third person of the Holy Trinity. The Spirit of the Lord, Spirit of God and Holy Spirit refers to the third person; however, the spirit of the Lord, spirit of God and holy spirit refers in general to the spirits serving Him in accomplishing His design, and we can further classify the word ‘spirit’ into the spirit of the man (living), the spirit of the deceased (man), the spirit of or an angel itself, the good, the saint, and the evil as well. The word Sealed Servant in capital letter “S” applies to St. Maria Virginia and Patriarch John Florentine; Mamang Viring or Mamang as we used to call her and Apo Juan, Papang or Papu for the Patriarch.

Christian Baptism and the Cross on the Forehead

In the Sacrament of Baptism, man is received into the Kingdom of God, the Catholic Church[3], and received on his forehead [the trace of] an indelible sign of the Cross through the priest [and/or the faithful[4] ] during the invocation of the formula “I baptize you in the Name of God, the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit!”, and through the anointing of the Holy Oil, representing the Holy Spirit; and during his Confirmation, the Bishop retraces the Cross, empowers his faith and his spiritual senses to become the soldier of Christ. Through this Holy Sacrament, God creates His Spirit’s dwelling place in the soul of man.

Only the princes of the Church can effect the creation of a dwelling place for the Spirit of the Lord within the spirit of a man by virtue and power vested on them by the Lord Jesus Christ, i.e., “Receive the Holy Ghost [as an indwelling spirit]…” (John 20:22) and “As the Father sent me so I sent you!” (John 20:21). “Baptize them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 28:19).


The Indwelling Spirit

As the heart is within the body so is the “indwelling spirit” is within the spirit of man (2 Corinthians 1:22); the source and lifeblood of the true life in God. The Spirit of the Son that enables him to call God his Father or “ABBA” (Galatians 3:26-28; 4:6-7); makes him His temple (I Corinthians 3:16; 6:19; 2 Corinthians 6:16) and an indispensable member of the Mystical Body of Christ. Man received the indwelling spirit in the Sacrament of Baptism – without which, all other sacraments cannot be received without committing grave sin and sacrilege – and [must be] confirmed by a Bishop in the Sacrament of Confirmation. This is the basic sign and rock foundation for the salvation of the Christian soul (2 Corinthians 5:5; Ephesians 1:14); though he is neither Sealed by, nor knew or heard about, Beloved INGKONG.


The Dwelling Place


In baptism, a special place is made in a person’s soul and is consecrated solely for the “indwelling spirit” which the believer will receive as promised by the Lord (John 7:37-39); this makes man a temple of the Holy Spirit. The consecrated space is filled in itself and can neither be quenched nor refilled because it is the eternal habitation of the Lord. The dweller thereat is irremovable and unenthroneable; it remains untouched even when the man received a Spirit-seal, lived habitually in sin, or possessed by demon(s). The place is for God alone and no other spirit can dethrone, share with the dweller therein or even access the place; it is where the source of man’s divine willing resides. When the little will of man cooperates with the divine impulse, the little yet powerful pure voice, emanating from the Spirit of the Lord within him, then it is said that his will becomes that of the divine as a drop of rain united itself with the vastness of the ocean. This presence of the Lord within every spirit of the members of the Mystical Body of Christ is man’s safeguard and anchor of salvation; that being eternally lost is almost impossible. Almost impossible in the sense that a little exercise of his resolved will, in the time of great spiritual battle, is sufficient to ignite the fire of faith and love towards his Creator.


The Filling and Quenching of the Spirit


The spirit of man is like a barren, yet fertile, soil that the production of divine goodness is solely dependent on the water from heaven. In barren soil the seed cannot germinate and grow, thus, not even a fruit can yield. When the man is filled by the Holy Spirit it is like that rain poured down on him, watered him; it refreshes and invigorates his soul. Thus, man is now capable of producing divine goodness. In this filling of the spirit, the fibers and sinews of his soul is permeated by the light and grace of God which results in the wearing of a Spiritual Garment. However, when the man returns to his old life i.e. the life of sin and away from God [the Church and Her sacraments] the once-watered soil becomes barren again, drying and killing the once-lush vegetation, gradually losing the light and grace in his soul and making him naked [again] in the sight of God; in this condition of his soul he grieves the Spirit of God dwelling in his spirit (Ephesians 4:17-29, 30, 31-32). The spirit of man is filled and nourished by the holy sacraments and a prayerful holy life. In some cases, it may be filled also of the spiritual activities of other non-Catholic Christian gatherings but its effect is only temporary and within a limited period. Whereas the light and grace effected to the soul by the Holy Sacraments of the Church, like the Holy Mass and the Holy Eucharist, extends to eternity.


THE GUARDIAN ANGEL




Each human soul is appropriated by God with a number of Guardian Angels akin to the nature and responsibility of his terrestrial life and his place in the Plan of God. That is, one or more influencing Guardian Angels for the weight of his task on earth. Religious people like Nuns, Priests, Bishops have more Angels than the laypeople, especially so with the Patriarchs of the Christendom whose tasks and responsibilities are so heavy and large for oftentimes they are the first ones who received the greatest attacks and blows of the sinister forces in the high places (Ephesians 6:12). It is for this reason that the Blessed Virgin Mary always asks the faithful to pray for the Priests, Bishops, Patriarchs and all other religious people who are in the position of feeding the flock of Christ.

The primary task of the Guardian Angel is to watch over the spiritual progress of the man, the success of his works and keep him company from the first moment of conception until he faces the judgment seat of God. He follows the man wherever he goes; neither departs from nor deserts him. He distances himself when the man deliberately ignores him but immediately returns when a sigh or cry is heard from the man as a loving mother to her ailing child.

THE GUARDIAN ANGEL DOES NOT INDWELL THE MAN. The functions of the Guardian Angel and that of the Holy Seal sometimes overlap for the reason that both of them, as all the members of the heavenly hosts, exert their effort to influence the man to the right road, the road prepared for him by God.

The Holy Sealing, Spirit-seal, and the Sealed Servant



The Holy Sealing is the “Baptism of Fire and Spirit” prophesied by St. John the baptizer (Matthew 3:11). It is where and when, Beloved INGKONG sprinkles and washes the person’s spirit with the water of life (Ezekiel 36:25); He renews, restores and strengthens the person’s conscience, fills the consecrated space within him with abundant graces and writes on his forehead the sign of the cross (Ezekiel 9:4; Apocalypse 3:12; 7:3) with the last drop of the blood of Jesus Christ in Calvary (Hebrew 9:12,14,22), availed by Brother Florentine during his encounter with Beloved INGKONG at the seminary, for the forgiveness of his sins committed from his last good confession (and those forgotten ones since childhood, or the age of reason, and were not confessed) “sins he will no longer take an account in the day of judgment” (Message of Beloved INGKONG); He is reborn and is a now a new creation like a newborn babe (John 3:5-7; 2 Corinthian 5:17); And becomes a “throne” of a blessed spirit whom Beloved INGKONG brings down from the heavenly Jerusalem (Hebrews 12:22-23) and enthrones in him (Apocalypse 3:12) who becomes his spiritual guide and helper called “Spirit-seal” - the guarantee of his salvation and eternal life - being the fulfillment of the words of the prophets Joel and Ezekiel (Joel 2:28; Ezekiel 11:19-20;36:26-27) in addition to his Guardian Angel and the “indwelling spirit”.



The Spirit-seal is the spirit that cooperates with the man, the one that reminds, teaches, shows and reveals truths in man’s spirit in the form of intuition, “guts” feelings and through other special, though supernatural, manifestations. The Spirit-seal indwells the man [in his physical body] and cohabits with his own spirit such that there are two spirits that dwells in his faculties [as a person i.e. personality]; and with regards to who will have the upper hand depends on the will of the person or the urgency of the divine intervention when his eternal salvation is at stake.

Man will be known, more so in the spiritual realm, as “Sealed Servant”, “Tinatakan”, “Binasbasan” or through the name of his Spirit-seal like APO. The name or word APO is an abbreviation of the Latin ACCEPTAVIT POTESTATIS OMNIPOTENTI.



An APO is a throne of the spirit of one of the saints produced of the Eastern or Western Christianity (Hebrew 12:22-23) from places like Jerusalem [Israel], Antioch [Syria], Alexandria [Egypt], Avila, Rome [Italy], Constantinople [Istanbul, Turkey], Moscow [Russia], Sienna [Italy], Padua [Italy], Thessalonica [Macedonia], Malabar [Kerala, India], and Ephesus [Turkey] among others.


In a sense, all sealed servants of Beloved INGKONG may be generalized under the name APO, for it means person who received power and grace from the Omnipotent God.


To the spirit-seals belong the spirits of the patriarchs, saints, martyrs, confessors, and virgins. In the early years of the public ministry of Beloved INGKONG, He enthroned the spirits of the Patriarchs like Moses and Aaron; the spirit of Saint Expeditus among others. There are about hundreds of thousands to million martyrs in the Eastern Christianity alone, not to mention the many saints of the Western Christianity, who were either beheaded, burned at the stake, or fed to the blood-thirsty lions of the Coliseum in Rome. The spirits of the early Christians were enthroned by Beloved INGKONG to the sealed servants in fulfillment of His promise, when He was with His Disciples as our Lord Jesus Christ, to those who eat His flesh and drink His blood – ‘he will raised them up in the last days’ (John 6:1-34,35-59).

The sealed servant is the fulfillment of the Lord’s promise to the early saints of Christianity, they are raised from the spirit world, from the heavenly Jerusalem, re-clothed them with the flesh of the living, i.e. the sealed servants, to inspire them to holiness and courageous faith, and to wage battle against the powers of darkness; whose evil spirits have enthroned – possessed – poor and wretched souls. These days are the battle of those who are possessed by the holy spirits and those possessed of the evil ones. Saints are not only those who were proclaimed by the Church and we know the names of, there are countless martyrs who gave up their lives for the sake of the holy faith.

Beloved INGKONG made known and enthroned to His young sealed servants, for the reason of their childlikeness and purity, the following angels as spirit-seals: HIJAS DE MARIA, QUERUBIN, SERAFINES, ANGELITO, and ANGELITA- these are called ‘Auxiliaries’. While the psychologically-matured and physically-able bodies are enthroned the APO, MUSKITEROS, SIETE (7) ARKANGHELES, KUATRO (4) BASTON, and KUATRO (4) ALAS.

The name HIJAS DE MARIA can be literally translated as ‘Daughters of Mary’. These are holy spirits within the rank of first choir of angels, they are the angels specially appointed to assist and serve the Blessed Virgin Mary.




The ALAS are powers representing the Four Holy Evangelists namely Saints Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, and representing as well the four elements namely Fire, Air, Water, and Earth.

The BASTON are the powers that guards the four cardinal directions (North, South, East and West). They are the spirits that encircles the throne of God on earth such as the Holy Covenant, St. Maria Virginia, and now, the Holy Patriarch. They encircle the throne for the purpose of protecting it with their potent'baston'.

THE MUSKITEROS are the thrones of the horsemen of the Apocalypse.



The SIETE ARKANGHELES are Holy Archangels MICHAEL, RAPHAEL, GABRIEL, URIEL or Auriel, SEALTIEL, BARACHIEL, and JUDIEL.






The ANGELITO and ANGELITA are the angels of the same rank as the QUERUBIN, SERAFINES and Hijas de Maria except that their purity and child-likeness fits them to be enthroned to children.

In the past, Beloved INGKONG, through the Holy Covenant, also enthroned a class of spirit-seal called LEGIONARIES to the sealed servants; but after some time He recalled and returned them to heavenly Jerusalem. These latter spirit-seals are Spirits of the order within the hierarchy of the Angels. There are, as well, DOSE (12) APOSTOLES, MARIAS and JUANS; these are the “Spirit Escorts” of Beloved INGKONG who once ministered to our Lord Jesus Christ, the Blessed Mother and John the Baptizer. The MARIAS are for the Covenant, St. Maria Virginia, and the JUANS are for the Patriarch, John Florentine.



Note: Beloved INGKONG through the Holy Patriarch, aside from the clergies, ordained, empowered and mandated the 7 ARKANGHELES, JUANS, and the 12 APOSTOLES to administer the Holy Sacraments as per His message in the first quarter of the year 2008.

HOW TO BECOME A SEALED SERVANT

To become a sealed servant one must be sealed by Beloved INGKONG. And to receive the Holy Sealing, one must be a baptized catholic or orthodox Christian – this is the pre-requisite for all the other Holy Sacraments of the Church. By principle and practice, each man who wishes to become a sealed servant must be in the state of grace; his act is born of free will, believes in the doctrine of Beloved INGKONG, and understands the duties and responsibilities associated with receiving the spirit-seal. Thus, it is advised that a desiring person should join or associate himself with the Block Rosary of the sealed servants, attend Holy Masses officiated by the clergies of the Apostolic Catholic Church, attend one of Beloved INGKONG’s ‘Ganapan’ and hear His ‘Mensahe’ – these activities will prepare him in becoming a sealed servant. It is also helpful if he associated himself with a pious and obedient sealed servant and asked him questions about the holy faith.

The candidate should pass through ‘Comprohan’, a usually overnight gathering designed to instruct the would-be sealed servants of what it is to become a ‘tinatakan’, prior to the ‘Ganapan of Juan Bautista’, the baptism for repentance. Those who passed the test and baptism of Juan Bautista are confirmed to be worthy, by the holy water, to proceed to the next stage and summit of the process – the Baptism of Fire and Spirit by Beloved INGKONG – the “Holy Sealing”.

Beloved INGKONG searches the heart and soul of man and woman, thus He knows who is really worthy for such a great blessing. Some were denied, or delayed, the reception of the holy seal. Oftentimes these are due to some un-confessed mortal sins like abortion, witchcraft, and murder among others. These are sins which generally fall under the violation of any or all of the Ten Commandments. They were not absolutely denied the holy seal; the door will still and always be opened for them. All they have to do is amend their lives, be converted, confess, do penance and sacrifices in reparation for their sins.

Those who committed abortion were asked to confess and do penance for their sins by praying the 15 mysteries of the Holy Rosary with arms outstretched in the form of a cross while holding candles [on both hands] and attend daily masses. These should be done for thirty (30) consecutive days for each aborted human being. This applies to everybody who consented to the commission or accomplishment of this great crime; this includes the mother, the husband or the man, and the doctor.

Those who practiced witchcraft prior to the holy sealing and still have somebody suffering from their spells or rituals must remove, dispel and nullify the spells that caused other people’s suffering – be it physically or mentally. Those who received amulet, talisman or occult literatures such as satanic bible, Masonic books and similar items which are contrary to the Catholic and Orthodox Faith are asked and required to renounce and surrender these items to the feet of Beloved INGKONG or to the appointed person of the Church prior to the holy sealing. These items must be exorcised and burned in the name of the Holy Trinity, of the Lord Jesus Christ and Beloved INGKONG. And for other sins, Beloved INGKONG pronounces His judgment and the penance to the person on how he can repair his sins.



Change of Spirit-seal


The change of spirit-seal or ‘pag-papalit ng tatak’ or ‘basbas’ is a process wherein an Auxiliary’s spirit-seal is recalled, and Beloved INGKONG seals the person anew and enthrones a spirit of a saint, thus the person will then be called an APO. The candidate must again go through the procedure of Compro. This process applies to Auxiliaries who reached a mature, marriageable age, was married, or enters the priesthood or the convent as sisters. There are some Hijas de Maria, Serafines and Querubin, who decided for single blessedness, retains their spirit-seal though they grow old.


The Mark of the Cross and the Protective Shield

The spiritual cross on the sealed servant’s forehead shines more than the non-sealed Catholic Christians. His cross has the shades and colors of the spectrum (7 colors) alternating vibrantly. His spiritual protection called aura, shines and is virtually impenetrable from the outside; this is the sealed servant’s spiritual skin or shield, as much as the physical skin protects us from the invading harmful bacteria. This cross on the properly baptized Christian identifies him in the spirit realm of being a follower and belongs to the fold of Christ Jesus.

Oftentimes this protective shield is cut open or pinched from the inside through the agencies of self-preservation instinct and sexual instinct. Self-preservation is an inherent mechanism of man to defend himself and his interest at all cost and when threatened his mind wanders, thinks and devices ways and means to protect. When an evil thought arises, and he harbors it, then the shield becomes corrupted and rent asunder. The same process occurred in sexual desire. This is the lowest nature of man sharing in common with the brutes and unless this beast in man is tamed, it is so insatiable that can lead him into his own destruction. Once man harbors in his mind how he can gratify this beast, gradually the protective shield withdraws its strength until finally it is so weak that it cannot resist even the slightest spiritual disease. Spiritual diseases usually were caused by unhealthy thought forms, psychic attacks like evil eyes, witchcraft, psychic vampires, evil will or intentions, and elementals among others.


( Manifestation of the spirit-seal through the fire of the candles during the Holy Procession of the Blessed Virgin Mary by the sealed servants' block Rosary. Hijas de Marias are those wearing the long blue veil in obedience to the request and messages of Mama Mary.)


The luminance of the Holy Seal is directly dependent on the following essential nourishments: Confession & Penance, Holy Communion, Holy Works and Meditative Prayers coupled with visualization of the mysteries of the Passion of Christ. Scriptural Rosary is very helpful in attaining the contemplative state. Thus, in the spirit world, a sealed servant who is in the state of grace is noticeable because of the cross of light on his/her forehead shining and reflecting all colors of the rainbow.

There are several accounts of possession of discarnate spirits and strayed souls who testified [through the possessed person] that they see the sign of the cross on the sealed servant’s forehead. Often, the sealed servant, through the permission of his spirit-seal, is used by the strayed soul to manifest and testify about Beloved INGKONG. They unanimously declared that Beloved INGKONG is God, the Holy Spirit.

The said protective shield will protect him as well from physical harms and he can communicate this grace to other people as well.

THE MARK OF THE CROSS ON THE FOREHEAD IN THE TRIBUNAL OF GOD

The mark of the cross in its upright or inverted position, stays engraved in the Christian soul, more so with the sealed servant even though the spirit-seal already left him. This mark will identify the sealed servant in the Tribunal of the Holy Trinity and, through it, is recognized by the spirit-seal who left him who shall speak about him and all the efforts the spirit-seal and the Guardian Angel did for him. This holds true with the Christians who turned their backs on Christianity and converted to other religions. Their punishment is more severe than those who do not know Christ.

It is at this point, to make it clear that the souls of non-Christians do not have any mark of the cross on their forehead and have no mediator between themselves and the Father. Their good works on the scale of justice will be found lacking no matter how many they may be, for they do not believe in the Son of God (John 8:24; 14:6; 15:23-24; 16:7-11), and that they do not receive the sweet fruits of the Catholic Christian Sacraments. The Lord Jesus Christ mediates with the Father in behalf of the poor soul on whom he found His holy sign of the cross; while the Blessed Virgin Mary herself mediates with Her Son in behalf of the sinful and stubborn Christian souls – on whom salvation is almost impossible – who have recourse to Her motherly compassion.

The only and last recourse of men, whatever his religion or faith, is the mercy and compassionate love of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

[4] Through the faithful- if the unbaptized is in the danger of death, the Baptized Christian may act, in behalf of the Church, as an extra-ordinary minister, to perform baptism in lieu of one of the powers vested on him: As Priest, King and Prophet. Proper and Right Baptism can only be administered of either the Presbyter of the Church or through the Faithful. Faithful is understandable to be a person who belongs in the Right True Church – the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church (Western and Eastern). It is for this reason that “Outside the Catholic Church there is no salvation”

[5] There are two types of Goodness: the Divine and the Human Good. Human Good is anything which was done separated from glorifying the Lord nor it was done Not in His name. On the other hand, Divine goodness is anything done for the Glory of God and of His Name. As such, Divine Goodness can also be produced when a branch is connected to the Vine (John 15:2; Matthew 7:17-19)
