Gospel and Ministry
of the Holy Spirit
In our conversations with Apostle Ivan Ivanov, he shared that the Ministry itself began in 2012, during that time the Apostle was in England and God with his absolute Authority and Power as Will, which he did not know but was yet to come, God has begun to show and manifest in details the New Testament and the Power of this New Testament. And that was the end of everything he had felt since 2007; he had felt that God was preparing him for what was to happen in early 2012. Because back in 2007, God showed him and revealed that he, the Apostle Ivan Ivanov, was one of the chosen vessels of the transition of the nations, regarding the Grace given to him in Christ, but the Apostle had to go a long way to get to the teaching itself, because he did not even assumed that the teaching had its own power and its own testimony made by the Spirit of God and influenced by the Spirit of God in order to be real, But this has started partially and since 2012 God began to reveal to him so intensely, almost every day, the teachings of the Spirit, the teachings of the New Testament, and this was accorded only to the Word. He read the Word and God revealed it to him.
When the Apostle began to write (see online book page on this site) because he knew that the things he wrote at the time were not based on the understanding of the times of Christianity then and there was no way to think that it would be accepted by the people, he was realizing that this was something unheard of, not understandable and inexplicable in this way in such a reality.
And then, the first thing that was supposed to happen in 2012 because of the interest of the people who wrote to him, why he was writing in this way, they asked to meet and of course he met them. This was in Italy, he went to Milan and then to the island of Sardinia. In Milan he had the opportunity to teach for the first time in the teaching.
The effect was that people who expected to learn something in the form of knowledge and notes actually noted nothing, absolutely nothing, because what they heard about the New Testament was more chilling, rather say, for them, but for the situation itself The Apostle was prepared by God because God told him that people would not believe him, that they would not believe him that this was actually the New Testament and that this was the way things should be.
And the Apostle going to this place in Milan and Sardinia, he knew that people would be more reserved and prepared to protect themselves for themselves rather than to be freed by the Spirit of God in the Power of a New Testament to start really from the truth.
And so it started in the spring, March 2012, then he went to Bulgaria there he had meetings with a contingent of people who were quite educated and their reaction was the same way, again in the same way people were surprised, scared, wondering "Is this the new thing?", " Is that how it should be? ", Given that everyone is waiting for a revival every year, something for themselves individually.
But in fact from the very beginning what God has explained and revealed to the Apostle is that in fact the people who will be recognized as possession of God and placed in such a path will be only through the Ministry of the Holy Spirit, through the teaching of the Spirit and through Him. There was a time when the Apostle had to move with this teaching of the Spirit and he continues to do so, but he saw how the Gospel of the Spirit brought people both light and a sense of the fragrance of freedom beyond religious standards but also bothered them because it is perfect and great and has no human ability, and this worried them how it would happen.
The main question of the people was "How will it happen", "What should we do?".
And so it continued in the time, it is now 2021, and a long time has passed since the beginning of 2012, but the truth is that the New Testament continues to seduce people, continues to bother and demand them for God, for God's Will, God's Sovereign Will, but they oppose, most of them they do not want to be obedient to this work of Truth and Life in Christ.
And the attitude of the Apostle towards the people who enter into communion with him, because of God's work, God's Will is always corresponding to the fact that he knows that the Holy Spirit must serve, the Holy Spirit must introduce them, he must do what he must do. and to fulfill, to give reality to give 100% to the cause with them. In other words, the discipleship is practiced by the Holy Spirit over people, but they, many of them, do not realize it, do not understand it and oppose this thing.
As for the School of the Spirit, this school cannot be started by every single gospel, it must be the true Gospel in order to have a School of the Spirit. And this school of the Spirit began with the true Gospel. And this Gospel did not begin with Apostle Ivan Ivanov in 2012. it began a long time ago, from the very beginning, the question is whether generations have obeyed the true Gospel to participate in this discipleship. And for this reason, we realize that the fellowship we have as Gospel and the Ministry of the Holy Spirit must be an instrument in the hand of God's Spirit itself so that there are people who enter into discipleship through the Ministry of the Spirit and through this True Gospel and we are sent exactly because of this.
And the reason to have a School of the Spirit, as the Apostle has said for many years, in Bulgaria should be such a base of people who represent the New Testament, not some other covenant, not the covenant of the Jews, not the covenant of another nation, but The Covenant of the Spirit, the Covenant in Christ, who is New and who gives Life. And just such a Covenant to be presented by legitimate people who are both trained by the Holy Spirit and have the true Graces and at the same time are sent to reach those who would be taught by the Spirit of God to believe in the Gospel, to believe in Christ, in his work and ministry, and so that they may be part of the Church of Christ, and that this may be spread throughout the whole earth.
So when we talk about the School of the Spirit in Bulgaria, the Apostle does not imagine for a moment a school of the Spirit as a building in which we will talk about God, and so spend time together and feel that we have a place in a library or whatever, or to be a place of some social relations in the form of christianity.
But the School of the Spirit begins with the Spirit, continues in the Spirit, and is fulfilled in the Spirit. The School of the Spirit is a School in the New Testament and in the Doctrine of the Spirit. And what you see now on the site, if we talk about the material base, we need this base so that we can serve our brothers and sisters and call them in our communication and in our presence so that they can be with us and to spend time in which to be taught, time in which to set an example, time in which to follow example and time in which to become an example as an instrument in the hand of God and as Graces given to them and subsequently as sent by God. So that all this must be absolutely Divine order and correct order.
The school of the Spirit did not begin with the Apostle Ivan Ivanov or anyone else, it began with God himself and it will be so, because this is his ministry, his deed and his work. But our goal is to have what the Holy Spirit has as a Teaching for all people so that we can reach with the Gospel of Truth the other people who are on the face of the earth, chosen for this Gospel, to hear it, to believe and to be among those who serve and train them. In the future, it doesn't matter what the ethnic group or the country the chosen comes from, we will be together all the time. For example, if we are in Bulgaria, all of us who are in the school in Bulgaria we are one, but we are not one as a structure or system but one as a body of Christ and a Church and as an organism and this is the goal of God's Will and God's work.
So if we share with you that the goal is to have a base where people can be educated, it is in the sense of governing the Spirit of God, there is absolutely no value in a school that can imitate a wordly or a religious one in the sense of what is known that there are different schools for the implementation of religiosity. It is a communion of the Spirit, a communion of the organism in the Body of Christ and the Church.
Therefore, from the very beginning of the appearance of the brothers and sisters in the work of the Spirit, in the New Testament, entering into discipleship, we are with them, until the end, wherever they are, in whatever country they are, in whatever nation and country to be sent, we all serve as part of the Work of Christ and the Service of the Holy Spirit. We are all representatives of this New Testament, this is the School. The school is of the New Testament and will remain so, the School of the Spirit.
As for the very practical realization of the School of the Spirit and its maintenance, we would like the school to be autonomous, which means self-sustaining. For this reason, we have a plan for it to function as a school for the training of brothers and sisters for 6 months of the year and for the remaining 6 months as a hotel for christians only. As long as the hotel is open, we stay with the students, and this time can be a time for a mission of evangelization, visiting different cities, etc.
Regarding the material building itself, according to the opportunities we will have, we would buy an already build constructions that meets our requirements or we would build such.
The building needs to contain main building for meeting with all the necessary equipment, adapted for a recording studio, meetings rooms, small kitchen point and an communication point next to it. The meeting building contains 3 halls that can be used both separately and combined to a center in which a stage / podium is placed.
Also, the project includes a second building with two floors with 5 apartments for married couples and 5 for single people, where the disciples will have their stay.
The plan also contains a third separate building with an office, a studio apartment for the Apostle with an underground car garage and a separate parking lot.
The whole project occupies an area of 800 square meters on the ground floors, and the required terrain for the project will be about 1500 square meters. The buildings will be built using prefabricated structures.
The stages for the implementation of the plan during construction are the following:
1. Buying location
2. Construction of the building with the meeting rooms
3. Construction of the residential buildings
4. Furniture and equipment
The price for the full implementation of the project amounts to about 500,000 € .
Until the full implementation of the project for the material base, the school will start online, and the term for the implementation of the material base is up to 3 years. Until the end of the project, the school will start online in July 2022. During the online training, students can be called on missions, to visit a physical place for spreading the Gospel ...
The school is open to both Bulgarians and foreigners: the missions / semesters will be carried out in the same way.
One mission / one full course of study will last for 2 years, and in the first year we will assess whether the students will continue in the second year.
Students will pay for their stay and training as the first year is free and the second year they will pay for the first year of the next group of students.
