2007.03.11 - The Word of God on the third Sunday of the Lent, of the Holy Cross
The Word of God[1] on the third Sunday of the Lent, of the Holy Cross[2]
I am the Son of God, the Father, true God from true God, of the same Being with the Father, the One by Whom everything were done and are done, and Who came down from heaven and became a Man born of a Virgin, and then I was crucified on the cross by the unbelievers, but I was resurrected through the cross, and after I had taught My disciples and the faithful ones the faith and its work and theirs in My name over the earth, I went to be again near the Father on His right side, and now, according to the promise from the Scriptures, I come again, and behold, I raise a faithful people to Me, a hand of disciples, to teach them that My kingdom, which I have brought down on earth by My heavy cross, will not have an end, for the Holy Spirit, Who brings life and Who makes life in man, is glorified from the Father and from Me, as He has been glorified by the prophets, and He strengthens a holy church on the earth, with God on its table, body and word, to the forgiveness of the sins of the faithful ones, who sanctify themselves for God and to the resurrection of the creature, that the life of the future age may come down on earth. Amen.
Oh, My heavy cross, My people of today, was the man’s unbelief. I came from the Father to search out the people to whom God gave His promises, but that people was not faithful to God and to My sending to it from the Father as it was prophesied, and He treated Me as a wrongdoer upon God and upon man, for the man in whom God does not live with His will, with His Spirit, is a proud man, who spoils his body in him, the dwelling place of My kingdom in man. When the man’s mind behaves this way before Me and before the man as after the Spirit of God in it, then the man is ruled by his will itself and he has not got God as his Master, and God’s kingdom does not have a rest in him, and God suffers from man, and the man is My pain and My heavy cross, My people. However, you should humble yourself much for Me and for My sufferance, even if you do not know the mystery and the reward of your humility, for the man’s being is mysterious, and the man works with it without knowing good or evil, and I, the Lord, get comforted Myself or suffer from man, and I carry on with this mysteriously, for the Spirit is the One Who knows and not the body, My people.
Oh, the man’s humility with God is great and comforting, the humility for Me, the One Who suffered and suffer from the man’s unbelief, for this is My heavy cross, and the man does not know what the Lord’s cross is. Oh, My comfort is great from the man who comforts Me in My heavy cross! And as the proud man does not know his pride, as the haughty one does not feel his haughtiness and does not know the damage that comes from it, in the same way the one who is truly humble does not know his humility and he has always humbled for the fruit of the humility by which he knows what he gets by fighting for the day of his victory from the One Who rewards the works of the man with good or evil, and behold, the humble one with his heart is My comfort and My work on the earth, My people.
Then I had comforting disciples, and I also want to have disciples now, and I teach you to be My comforting disciple, son of My people of today, who hear My godly voice over you. Oh, love God with all your soul, with all your heart and with all your mind and with your good work, and you should also love your neighbor as God has loved the man and gave breath of life to every man who is born on the earth and to all that are born and receive a soul in them. I need comforting disciples, for My cross is with great pain from the man and the man does not know his pride and the damage that comes from it, for pride itself is the man’s damage, and God cries for the blind man with his soul received from God, My people.
Oh, the saints and their holy fathers have given Me great comfort, and behold, there has come to be a tradition from the holy fathers, repentance, abstinence, cross, fasting, love for God and the man’s union with God by them, My people. In the beginning of My speaking now with the people called to believe in My coming as word from the Father, I, the Lord, have taught it how to pray, how to fast, how to humble itself and how to repent and how to live with Me and among brothers, how to love and how to persevere in his life with God, and he was supposed to comfort Me with the fulfillment of My exhortation upon it, but his children have grown up and they went to a spirit of man and then to a spirit of the world, and the steps of those with whom I spoke hindered Me and I was comforted teaching them how to serve Me on the earth. Oh, the teaching for those things that are holy in man and for the man is sweet and beautiful, and I, the Lord, have always, always persevered with it from above for the holy stature of the one who has heard Me speaking today from near the Father the word of eternal life, the spirit that was prophesied about long ago to come on the earth and to make comforting disciples for the Lord.
My sighing is deep, My people, and I want to comfort it when I tell it to you. There is still a little bit of time, and you will sing “Christ is risen!”, but I do not want to be on the cross at you either before or after the feast of My resurrection, but rather you should always show Me, to Me and to those who can see you, that Christ has risen in you and that He is alive by the deed and by His Spirit in you, and I urge you, My people, to give Me comfort, for My heavy cross is the man’s unbelief. You should prove yourself faithful by My living in you and with you, for those who do not live in Me are not written with the faithful ones. Every man who violates God’s will in him for his own will is written with those who are unfaithful, if he can do and does not do My will, if he knows My will and does not do his will, My people.
Oh, watchful children and teachers over those who learn My will in their will! I want to speak for My will in them and I want to do My Father’s will, for My Father exhorts Me to speak to them, and I do not take and speak from Myself. Oh, let those who come to stay near My work of word from above and near you. As I, the Son of the Father God, do, let them do the same, and let them speak the same, and let them speak and fulfill through Me and let them also do this through you, sons, and not by themselves. Let them not violate God’s will for their will, for it has remained a tradition from the saints and from the fathers the work of humility, repentance, prayer, fasting, cross and of all those by which the man saves himself and gives himself to God and is a dwelling place to God. Amen.
Now, watching children, bring comfort to Me by churchly ministering and give yourselves to Me and to My glory from you in a spirit of church, and always teach those who stay near My word and near you, teach them to be saints like their holy fathers, for disciples are only those who are like their teacher, if they have a teacher, children sons. He who has a teacher is that one who takes his entire work, that by the spirit and by the work, from his teacher and not from himself. Amen.
Behold a work that is to be learnt upon man: the man needs to learn to know his haughtiness and pride, which come from this, and God has to know the man’s humility and all the work that comes from it. Amen. This is the work in which the man has to stay and to work with it against everything that does not mean God in man. Amen.
And then we will stay to work the whole council of the day of today, for we celebrate today the work of self-control and of humility, the work of the fasting for God and for the mercy for God, and the feasts of God’s mercy are great for Me and for man, and behold a feast for the power of self-control and comfort for this work. The Spirit and not the body has to be comforted, children sons. This is how you are to teach those who stay near My work with you: let them stay with their spirit and then let them fulfill within their body the work of the spirit and let them be My comfort by their faith, for My heavy cross is the man’s unbelief, and I come, and do not find any faith on the earth in My coming. Two thousand years ago, I spoke in a comforting spirit, I left it written, and this is what I said: «When the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on earth?»
We come back into the book, children from the gates and we will set great exhortation in it and heavenly order for those who stay near My word and are happy and then will be only those who know to take and to receive and then dwell in God, and that God may also dwell in them with His image full of humility, for My Spirit is humility, and I give voice to the Holy Spirit through it and through it I am your God, and I teach you to be like Me, gentle and humble in your heart, My people. Amen, amen, amen.
*
Come, children from the gates, let us strengthen My love in those who want to stay close to Me and close to you, for My love makes the man divine, and then the man can work for Me and for him through it. I am love, children sons, and he who has love is that one who becomes divine, for he is full of God through it, and then he comes to be with his spirit and body to My pleasure, and I am his Master and he is My son. He who has God as Master upon him, that one is a son to Me and not servant, for he allows himself to be led and he proves to be faithful when he works that way, when he wants Me as the Master of his life, asking Me always as his life upon him. Life without death upon man is the life full of God in the man’s body, and it is My gentle and sweet Being, lived by the man who does not commit sins, for whoever loves Me does no longer sin and he becomes the love that never dies, for as the sin is death in man, in the same way love is life in man, and I, the Lord of life, come to dwell in man and I live in him when he lives in Me, and behold, the man does not understand the mystery of life without death, the man who wants to come after Me for his life and not for My life in him. He, who does not understand which the mystery of life in man is, that one does not work his life, that one does not know that live is not get, but it is lived instead, and it is received only when one lives it. I am the life, but he who does not live Me in him, that one has not known yet how to come, he does not know how to come after Me to have eternal life in him after that.
Oh, My works with the man are a great mystery and happy is the one who becomes disciple of the eternal life, and I, the Lord, want to leave great instructions in My book with My people of today and to help it to this wisdom and that it may want to have it then, for the man in whom God does not live with His wills, with His Spirit, that man is a proud man, a man who spoils his body within him, the dwelling place of My kingdom and of My Spirit in man, for the man who thinks in his mind for his own sake and not according to the Spirit of God in it, that one is ruled by his own will and does not have God as the Master of his life, even if he wants to come after Me, choosing this first.
Oh, watchful children on My behalf for those who give Me their life! For two thousand years, I have been suffering from the man who has come after Me and has not known what it means to come. I said to the one who wants to come after Me; I told him to deny himself and to take up his cross and follow Me; this way and not otherwise. The one who follows Me has always got a cross. The happiness for the man with Me is not as on the earth. With Me it is a cross, and it is not a more glorified way for man than the way of the cross, and first the cross is self-denial, in order that the man may bear together with Me all those that puts his life to test to the point of clarifying the steadfast of his faith in God and of his love for God. I cannot walk with man until I put to test his love and his faithfulness, but he who does not know how to deny himself for My living in him, that one is caught in the trap of his unbelief then, and he does not keep in him the life that does not die, the love which makes the man divine and through which the man does no longer die. (See the selection topic: „About the graven image and the sign of the cross”, r.n.)
Behold, the man does not know how to die and he does not know how to live, and I, the Lord, get ready to teach the one who joined My love for man and to help him take after Me, for the man’s humility, that which takes after My humility before man, that is the greatest comfort for God, and if then I had comforting disciples, I want to have them now, and those whom I have I need to teach them always, so that they may know how to be My disciples and how to do My work in them. Amen.
I have set great exhortations into My book with you, people of My word. However, first I want to remind you and to teach you how to control your will in you for the sake of My will, as it is the tradition for the saints, who know to deny themselves for the sake of My life in them. At the beginning of My people of today I taught him with a fatherly love not to violate God’s will for the sake of his will, for the holy faith has remained as tradition from the saints and from their fathers, and by it the work of the humility of spirit and repentance, the work of fasting and prayer, the way of the cross and of all those by which the man saves himself and gives himself to Me and then he lives forever, for he who lives in Me never dies, but My people at the beginning and the one from the middle have not got that love by which the man becomes divine filling himself with God. Often I have told him not to violate My will in him for the sake of his will and I have asked him to come to prayer and to observe a due time for praying, and no longer to stay in the court of the house or in the garden, but to enter and to stay before Me after that, and I asked him if he heard Me what I told him, and I exhorted him not to put away from him My order that has been left for the saints. I have taught him all I wanted to love in him, and if he has not always listened this way, then he has violated My will for the sake of his will and I have waited for him in vain to be My son and that he may not die.
Oh, he who does not pray like the saints, that one is caught by the devil, and the devil brings death to the man, if the man listens to it, but now, I have always, always taught the people that I have, for I want to have a people and I want it to be My coming. He who knows how to come to Me is he who learns to come, and behold, I am the Teacher over the faithful one who knows to be My Son. Amen.
Oh, My people, in order to be My people, you have to be faithful in everything I give you and ask from you. Oh, My people, My heavy cross was the man’s unbelief, and the disobedient one proves to be unfaithful. I bring important exhortations to you and you should take care to fulfill them, son, for those who stay under the same shelter, all have to be one, and they have to be united in everything they work before Me with their spirit and body. That is why I told the watchmen to watch well to be like those who live together, for they cannot be one, those who do not have the same spirit, the same love, the same faith, the same obedience and the same work for Me.
No one comes under the same shelter to prayer by himself, for the devil rejoices over this laziness of brotherhood and over the brotherly prayer. Everywhere brothers are gathered together in groups to give themselves over to My will in them and then among them, they are asked for their togetherness of work before Me, for it is written: «Where union is, there the Lord has commanded the blessing and the life forever», and it is written again: «Blessed is the people whose God is the Lord, the people the Lord has chosen as His inheritance».
The work of fasting has been done with great care and propriety, with great love, and it is has also required brotherhood for it, but more than this it is required the work with blessing over fasting and over eating, for blessed is the God of the blessed people with its life lived in the Lord. Amen. (See the selection topic: „About fasting and almsgiving”, r.n.)
Oh, My people, you have watchmen into your midst set by Me for your work that is blessed before Me. Take care and live that way; take care, son, no to tread upon them to come to the point of choosing yourself if you stand aside from My work. The lust and the love of the body make the man go hungry and then to comfort his body then, and his love and mercy for God make the man abstain from many of his fleshly pleasures, which make him listen to his body more than to God, Who is the man’s life and power and then the love by which the man becomes divine, filling himself with God. Amen.
Then take care, son, of the work of humility and repentance, for these two works do a lot of good and much God among brothers, for I am the Lord of humility, My people. Oh, if there is no one between brother and brother to solve well any tension until love is established again, I, the Lord, cannot receive the one who seek after Me this way. Spirituality is learned from the one, who knows to make the man spiritual and divine and this great work needs to be sought after very much, and day and night you have to seek after it and for it, My people. Oh, none of the causes that have occurred and which strain the hearts have to be put to silence, for you are Christians, sons, and you have to walk in light, and then you should give forth light through the humility by which I, the Lord, give light too. You have to be beautiful, because he who is not humble is an ugly man, and he becomes sufferance and burden upon the soul over the one who stays beautifully under the burden of My love for the man. You have watchmen set from Me with a big heart for you, but do not forget to give yourselves to Me, always, always, through them, so that I may be able to do you good, sons, for everything you are and everything you do without their knowledge in you or among you comes back then against you and Me, for the devil keeps you written down with those who are guilty, if you do not humble yourselves, if you do not cleanse yourselves to give light, and I am the Lord of the holy order, and I stay and work only in the light and I am this way either, and those who have become the sons of My Father through Me, the Lord of humility and Master of those who humble themselves are likewise. Amen.
Oh, My people from everywhere! You, the one who wait to learn from Me, learn this too: the whole work that you do in your household and which shelters you together with other brothers, does not have to be done anyhow, and you do not have to overcome God as though you did and you know and that you are by your work, for woe to the one who, serving in the blessed courts for My work, gets up then with a controlling spirit to trouble unity and peace by his view, My Spirit from those who are faithful. Let no one call Me to account for his unsatisfying view. Let no one consider Me his debtor for his unsteady time near My work, for the man is in debt and not the Lord. Oh, let no one press on upon the goods of the Lord, as though there were others in the past who reached out their hands and took away God’s inheritance that was gathered by the Gospel of My second coming from near the Father, to make a people, submitted and holy to Me. All those who tried to tidy in My place over My work, have been smashed by the fruit of their will, and I, the Lord, got up and spared the vineyard and the inheritance of My Gospel. Woe to those who do not want the Lord to know their work by His guide, for each work will be asked from the man from the hand of the watchmen, not from the hand of the servants, and behold, the one who has the Lord as Master over him, that one is a son to Me and not a servant, for a son lets himself be guided, and he proves himself to be faithful when he works that way. Amen.
I remind you again of the spirit of cleanness of all the things, My people, for the cleanness is spirit and not work, as I, the Lord, have told you. I exhort you to be gentle and humble in your heart, so that you may be able to receive Me with My exhortation, son, for he who has self-esteem, that one does not receive Me, but on the contrary, he punishes Me, either if I search him out, and the one who is that way and gets used to it, that one cannot work for the spirit of brotherhood, the spirit which becomes perfect and is made among brothers by different gifts.
Oh, My people, back talking is the man who violates in him God’s will for the sake of his will, and then I become weak with My watching through those who are watchmen on My behalf over the people that has come to be with Me, for he who comes to be only with him and like him too, that one cannot be with Me and he can only work like him and then he talks back on the one who stays and looks from the sides at all his work and then he turns against Me and against his work without guidance upon him.
The spirit of the love of brothers and among brothers is called a spirit loving of people, and he who does not have this, that one is haughty and does not know his pride and damage, which comes from it, even if those who see tell him this. The spirit of love among brothers, the spirit loving of people, this spirit I, the Lord, want to see in you, son of My people, and if you do not have it, then seek to receive it, for without it you cannot have love, you cannot be full of God, and on the contrary, you are full of discontent and you are pretentions and you hurt and you do not bind the wound if you do not have love and if you do not have compassion, and I, the Lord, have advised the Christian otherwise, by My word full of life for man. Oh, the man’s humility is great comfort with God, the humility for God in man, and I want to have comforting disciples, for he who is humble does not know his humility, and he has always humbled himself for its fruit and he has always worked in it and becomes comfort to Me, the one with a humble spirit. Amen.
Oh, guiding children on My behalf for those who join My will in them! Teach them by the word and work, for those who do not do the work knowingly and in the light, those live as My pain and yours and hide in themselves and do not know to write themselves with those who are faithful, who deny themselves for a spirit loving of people, for the love that becomes God in man. Oh, how much comfort I would have if all had wanted to be like you or to listen to you, for you are comforting people to Me, because you dwell in My Spirit, and you can hardly stand at the helm because of the man’s will. Always and everywhere advise My people to seek with the spirit of the holy brotherhood, so that it may be with My blessing over it, as it is My blessing left by the Scripture. Amen.
I have given great exhortation in the book, and I want them to be awakening. The time of the fasting is the time of the cleaning of everything: of love, humility and of holy patience too. Let no one be upset with his brother for himself, for the reproof that I like has got work for Me upon man, and not for man. Let this people learn the work of not being upset with those that are from the earth among brothers, for I am the One Who knows the hearts, and let no one have other desire or take away this work of the knowledge of the hearts from Me. I have given this great exhortation in this day of teaching for life and for a cross, pleased to Me, from man and I said this: the man has to know his haughtiness and pride that come from this, and then let God know his humility and the entire work that comes from it. Amen.
I want you to be sweet to each other, sons of My people. Learn to be sons. I have brought the spirit of the heavenly love upon you. Learn, My people, the work of God’s love among brothers and do not stop from this work, for I said to be resemblance among brothers, there where they gather to do My will together. Learn, My people, the work of faith, for My heavy cross is the unbelief and the haughtiness of the man full of himself, and of the one who violates in him My will for the sake of his will. Oh, I look into your midst and I see a tensed spirit, and this spirit comes from haughtiness, My people. I am God and I have a humble spirit, and this is My work. Love the light and be a son of the light, son of My Father, just as I, the humble One, am His son, My people with a name from heaven. Oh, son, the hardening of the heart is seen on the man’s face, when it does its work in man, but I want the image of the heavenly light on your face and I cry after the rest of My face in your face, son, who come to become Mine within your spirit, and then within your body and its work for your salvation, and then for My glory. Oh, receive Me as I have taught you to receive Me, My people, for the reproof for My will in you is nothing else than My love with which I grow you to be Mine and not yours again, if you have come to be Mine. The reproof that has got My will in it, that one is not a spirit of man, and you, get used to be My house from it, My people, and in such a way that I may come into to you to be My will and My comfort, for I need comforting disciples, and he who knows how to be My son, that one knows to be a child as well, and he knows to keep himself as My kingdom and then to give himself with it and to receive for it. Amen.
And as for you, My people, come to teaching with love, for only the children are those who learn, and this is how you are to learn to be, and this is how you are to do My will, and you should be My comforting disciple, son, My people. Amen, amen, amen.
