The Word of God[1] on the first Sunday of the Lent, of the Orthodoxy[2]
Be attentive, children who are My gates of entrance into Jerusalem! Let My power be in you, for you are weak and small for My heaviness upon you. Listen with wisdom and give Me power to strengthen you, for you are wise and know what I tell you by what I tell you. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, I touch you and I take away your weakness and I strengthen your wisdom and its body, for you are the temple of the Holy Spirit, a dwelling place of the wisdom from above. Let everything that stands against Me and against you for My word, which is settling down today in its book with you, come down and stand aside and you should give yourselves up to Me because I can. Amen, amen, amen.
Oh, how much power I had in My apostle Paul! And he said: «When I am weak, then am I strong, and then the Lord can». (See 2 Cor. 12:10) Oh, how much I can work in the one who lets himself under My power in the time of his weaknesses, by coming to Me to revive him, as David was doing and saying in his weaknesses: «I have looked out for the Lord, waiting for Him to save Me from the lack of the soul and from storm». Amen.
My work is the man, My people. My work is to bring the man back to the Father. Oh, I have always asked you and much and I have asked you to take great care of My coming down as word on to the earth and to help Me, for I have told you that it is not I but the man who has to come. All the creature has been waiting for the man, not for Me, for I am, but the man is not. Oh, the man cannot learn to be, to take life from Me and to put it upon him and to believe that he can do My will. Nothing is beyond man’s power if he wants to believe that I am. I can, but I cannot without man. I can do everything that I have to do, but only through the man with a measureless faith and the same it has to be with his humility.
I made the man for Me. I made him and I gave him life, and then I told him to work it and to keep it, and to be able to rest with My love in man, in My house, My people. I told him, when I made him, to have life with obedience, for this means for the man to love Me; Me and not himself. Oh, who is to tell the man what God means, what man means, what God with man and man with God mean? Who is to tell the man? I tell him, I, for I am the Word, but even this, the man did not want to understand sufficiently, that is to let Me, the word, and not him. And because he did not want to know and to work like this, I told him afterwards: «For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned, for each one will give account of everything that is inside of him and outside of him». (See also Matt. 12:37)
I gave life to the man after I had made him. I opened My mouth and I breathed over him and he received life, and he received soul, and I told him to work and to keep his life that I gave him and to listen as I told him. However, even from the very beginning he received the spirit of disobedience, God’s adversary, and then the man was not able to love Me and did no longer work and did no longer keep his life. I gave him life and I gave it to him to be beautiful and to listen to My will and to love Me, because I did not make him for another reason.
Oh, man, My sufferance! If I give you life then when you are born of the man by the man’s will, then you should grow and know Me then through the creatures and to seek to listen to someone who knows from God what life is, where does it come from, what it does with it, what its house does, and then to become obedient to the One Who gives life, for this means My love in you, man without knowledge from heaven. Blessed is the one who, hearing Me, opens himself and wins over his life for himself, for the man’s life is lost even since he took the step of disobedience in his thought and with his word, and then with his deed.
Oh, the word of God is a great mystery that says that God made his work into male and female and called him man and then He called him life. Oh, the man separated from My happiness in him and from his happiness in Me. I was his happiness, and he was My happiness, and then he has no longer listened to the word full of life to be able to work it for himself and to keep it so that God, the Creator, may have where to bow His head for His rest. Neither the man has rest and nor God, for God and man’s rest from the beginning was spoiled, and I can hardly seek to find a man with obedience for the commandment of life, for it is the obedience that the man violated, and as a result, the life died in him, and he has been feeding with difficulty and sweat on the fruits of the earth out of which he was made, and since then he has not been resting anymore, for the rested man is the one who does not break the commandment of life and its work.
I have been crying out with tears into your midst, My people, saying that I long for a beautiful man in My image and after My likeness, for I love obedience to the Father and I believe in Him and not in Me if I am submitted to Him. Oh, where should I find My rest? Where should I find a beautiful man, a man made by God and then to give him life, and then he may work and keep it to be in My image and after My likeness just as I am like My Father? Oh, the man does no longer come back to God to give Him his life! The man loves himself and the tries to take care of his days and he is in the darkness, poor of him, for whoever does not love God and then his brother, that one is in the darkness. Woe to the one who lives according to his mind, according to his knowledge, for that one becomes haughty, and this means death. The man has got used to the curse for his disobedience and for which I told him: «By the sweat of your face will you eat your bread». (See Gen. 3:19)
Oh, the one who does not love God with his entire being, not keeping anything of it for himself for death, for his self, which is the death in man, that one sees his nakedness and loves it, as Adam loved his nakedness after he saw that he was naked, and then he separated from God and loved himself, for he saw himself and loved himself after he received knowledge and saw himself after that. The man gave up obedience to God and then he died, for he saw that he was naked and tried to hide, for he went wrong, he was fallen in his own self, and when this happens to the man, he hides afterwards.
Oh, the man values himself as wrong as he is, and as naked as he is. The man has looked to his own nakedness and loved himself and he sent Me away and since then he has been struggling to keep his life, the one of his self, the one from himself. Oh, how shall I make the man believe in Me and not in him? Shall I make the man out of his flesh and blood, and how shall I make him and to have him as Mine? Oh, how much mourning on Me, the man’s Creator! I took upon Me all the man’s sins, all of them, to the point of being considered the last one among the people, the most sinful man between earth and heaven, I, the One without any sin. Then I let Myself be tortured and under great sufferance from the man, and then I sat on the cross according to the man’s will, to pass through death and to go to the Father with the price of the man’s life, with My live on the cross, to give it to the man as his life by the cross, for I laid it down on the cross so that I might take it back again, because I am the Master of life, and I am the Man Who cries after the man, taking upon Me all the man’s guilt, for this is how I knew how to cry after man, believing in the Father, Who sent Me to accomplish on earth the wages of man’s life who lost his life by the fruit of his disobedience for the work and for the guard of his eternal life, of My being put in him, of life without sighing, without end.
It crushingly hurts Me the haughty man, who is no longer healed from his haughtiness with wrongdoings, for whoever goes wrong becomes haughty afterwards, and he cannot live his life afterwards. Oh, who shall I be healed with from My pain caused by the man that is so great to Me, for I laid down My love on the cross to give to the man resurrection, love and humility after that, and that without these two the man has no life whatsoever, for live has humility in it, which makes the man into My image.
I made the man for Me, My people; I did not make the man for him, but who is to tell him this? I tell him, I, for I am the Word. I did not make the man to hide from Me behind him; it is not for this that I made him. I did not make him to hide behind Me, for after he went wrong by disobedience, he blamed Me and not himself, and he told Me: «The woman, whom You gave to me, she gave me, she incited me and I ate». (See also Gen. 3:12)
Oh, it is a great mystery My word, which says that God made His work male and female and called him man and then gave him life! (See the selection topic: „The mystery of the man and of the woman”, r.n.) Two thousand years ago, I removed the seal of this mystery, and by listening to the Father, I became a Man without sin, for My mother, the Virgin, gave Me her body of flesh as My dwelling place, and from her I received My life that was put in her by My Father, and I have showed the man the mystery of life, the mystery of obedience, the mystery of incorruptibility, the fruit of the holy faith, in those who believed that life is from God and it is born by the word and that afterwards it is called man, and that it is called the dwelling place of the man’s life. Amen. (See the selection topic „The mystery of humankind salvation - the mystery of incorruptibility”, r.n.)
Oh, children with affliction in you! I have dwelt in you, I have stood within the gates to strengthen My coming through the gates, for this is how I work, and I do nothing without My Father’s good order. Now, children of My embracing, believe and fulfill all that by faith and with faith ask for My work with you over the earth, for your life is God, and I am happy because of you, because of those who are happy through the sufferance which always gives birth from it to the one who works and guards My life in him, the life with God’s obedience, the life which walks in the light and gives life from God on to the earth, the spring of light, the spring of life, sons. Amen, amen, amen.
