2013.03.03 - The Word of God on the Sunday of the prodigal son
The Word of God[1] on the Sunday of the prodigal son[2]
I lay down the spirit of comfort on the way of My descent as word over the earth and I put away from My way the blow of the storm, which tries to speak and weaken the power of My coming with food of word to those who take from My table, and I am telling the storm to calm down, and it will calm down, and those who are My path will be able to come for Me. Amen.
Oh, My people, you are born of this word during these days of My coming now on the earth. Oh, son, for each attempt to weaken My coming as word on the earth and to weaken My walking with you on the way, fast and prayer are needed, and one needs love in everything, too, well My people, for God is love, and you should serve Me with love and with patience for it, and then each one of you should always devote yourself with everything you are, as the self-love tries to whisper the man to stop for himself, and the life which does not give itself is a life without any joys and without any reward, for the big mystery is that man may have joy. Oh, who is to teach the man of what he should build joy for himself? It is built by giving, and the giving comes from love; it comes from God in man, for I gave Myself completely and I did not take into account anyone’s worthiness or his lack of worthiness when I gave Myself equally to those who humbled and humble themselves to believe in Me so that they may be able to receive from Me the commitment itself, that is man surrendering himself.
We are ordaining instruction on a day of Sunday. This is the food from above: the teaching springing from My mouth for the man’s life, for I, the Lord Jesus Christ, have been giving to those who are faithful to Me the power to become sons of God and I have given them My love too in order to have love, and by its power to become sons, and I am to have a people of sons of love so that I may walk with them and be their God, as it is written.
On this Sunday, we bring to memory the parable of the father with two sons, one with love and obedience to the father, and the other one with self-love and obedience likewise. Behold, it is not well for man to take his life out of My hand and guide it by himself. When you are the son of one father and you get away from his house and go into the world, then you are no longer faithful even to yourself, but you do not see that this is how your mind leads you to believe that it can be otherwise, only that the deceiving joys do not warm up the man as true joys, for they soon come to an end, and woe to those with no wisdom, who do not see this deception!
The younger of the two sons of the father from the parable of this day went away from the house of his father; he asked from the father all his rights from his inheritance and then he went away and lived his life by himself, and one day his pleasures came to an end and he saw that he went wrong denying his father because of his self-love, and then he went back to ask permission from the father to come and receive him among the servants who worked in his father’s household and thus to have something to eat from this work. Oh, and when he had come to realize fully that he went wrong and that he had nothing more to ask but mercy, he went to confess his errancy and wrong doing, he went to his father, and his father received the humble son and there was joy in their house because of the one who had wandered away from his house and from his life for such a long time. Oh, but why did his father receive him? He received him because this son had denied himself; this son who had wandered away from love did not expect anything after that but only mercy.
Behold, he who comes to Me needs deny himself when he comes lest by his coming he may not come, or by his not coming to go away after he has come to stay for a while. Oh, how well it is with the man who can deny himself, oh, how well! Only one like that truly tastes from the joy of life fully. However, if self-denial does not have in its dough the love from God and a loving spirit of people, it can be brought to shame when tested. That is why one always needs teaching over those that are good for man and over his faith, as man is not able to make his own faith, but only the tests of his faith proves it, and then he can prove his love and his steadfastness, lest it may happen to the faithful one as to the elder son from the parable of the father with two sons, the parable, which has to be well and churchly analyzed on this Sunday, as the elder son was deeply sorrow because of the joy in his father’s house on the day when his brother came back for mercy, repenting from his wandering away. Oh, it is not hard for man to sacrifice himself and to sacrifice himself with all his things, by everything he is, but if he does not know what kind of flavor to give to his commitment and what kind of self-denial to give, behold, he gives himself away without love, when this is put to test in man.
Oh, the life among those in the world is hard, as it is for those in the world, too, who do not know that there is also other happiness than that, which man knows as happiness. I have always taught you, My people, not to go into the world, son. I do not go into the world anymore. That is why I have been teaching you not to go, for the world empties you of power, then it divests you of your life and then of your faith, as everywhere there are servants dressed in sheep skins and they stay at the crossroads and are paid to look out for you on your way and to punish you by stripping you off the garment of your faith in My coming of today as word on the earth, and I have always descended upon you as word and I have always taught you the work of obedience, because I have left much instruction into your midst to listen to it, My son, and then for you to be added to the number of the sons of obedience, for this table always needs to have sons, set apart for God, sitting at it, always for sanctification, and I painfully see how much some of them struggle to depart from those that are required earnestly to be known by those who have set apart for Me, the holy One, for I spoke to those who have set apart for Me: «Be holy for I am holy!»
Oh, Christian who struggle to take the liberty of walking alone into the world and to having desires that divest you of your watch for God; oh, son, on this way, you have to pay attention to your walking, and you need self-denial. Sometimes, I have tried to sneak in with the things that I have to tell those who do no longer want to stay as My church, but they have got their own rest while I am not at rest from their life that has come out of My guidance and which has been stuck to decaying pillars, which are not from among those that I have set apart, and I, the Lord, stand and gaze with those that I have set for guidance, watchmen that I have empowered with watching from heaven for the steps and the life of My people that I have chosen, as the Christians are not used to liking the watching upon them, they are not used to liking and taking after Me, Who do not make any steps, Who do not do have any desires that is not from the Father and which is not given to Me by the Father in order to carry out and fulfill them under His great glory and in His whole light and Mine.
Oh, here it is why the Christian, who has been walking with Me years in a row, was not able to take part at the table of the new Passover; the Christian, who has been taking Me many years to prepare him to be and to have at his table other Christians who walked with Me and whom I taught much, much, with respect to the way the man is supposed to be at this feast of holy Passover, with holy people at the table and set apart for Me, forever with Me, not only for a while, and not only with the Christians, halved in their bodies and fulfillment that is especially required at this table, and behold, many have been staying with one leg next to Me and with the other into the world, and one cannot be with God only halfway, but how many people have believed this?
Oh, behold how man withdraws from the table of My happiness for a people that is only Mine! He likes to be more with the things he has learned on the earth from the ruler of the darkness of this passing age and who has spread his merchandise everywhere to draw those that are Mine to it so that they may no longer be Mine, and to enchant them and to sweeten their heart and will towards those who are put before all condemned people so that they may like the passing world, and then the Christian to tell Me that he is forced to go and walk in the realms left outside, not being supervised by anyone from among those who are set to watch for My people, not authorized by Me, and he is not sent by Me to go as I authorize those that go but do not go for themselves.
Oh, son, nourished with My heavenly mercy, oh, how comes that you have not liked to be a little child in order to have My kingdom and its immeasurable riches and not to have your kingdom and your will, or to have the kingdom of the world put before you and where you hurry as many times as you long for it, as if you did not long for it, you would be afraid to go and keep going to draw the angels from haven after you and thus to make them mourn because of your lack of walking with light on your way.
Oh, I have gathered you, those in whom I have hoped, as I have also hoped in those who have left from My table with you, Christians that should stay clean from all those on the earth at My new table, at the feast of the new wine promised to you even from the beginning of My word by My trumpet Verginica; promised that it would come, that the time of the holy feast would be with you, the Lord as body and word at the table with My obedient and chosen people, and if I have gathered you together, then I am going to tell you My pain.
Oh, if the love in many people changes, then I will suffer. The Christian starts with love, with faith, with faithfulness and then he becomes an opponent and strikes on the sides with discontent. Oh, how painful! Oh, what shall I do under this pain? Oh, why has the Christian got such expectations of God? And why should the Lord not have expectations of him instead? Oh, how ugly and how lowly it falls the apparent love between Christian and God, after the Christian has indulged himself with perishing emptiness, getting used to it and even to God in such a way that he may no longer listen to Him and follow Him! And even more, these have come to hate Me and separate themselves from Me. However, those who keep on loving, they are satisfied with love and give it entirely to Me, and I give it to them too; I give them comfort on their way with Me and I help them to remain in love always, for the love between man and Me cannot be otherwise, it cannot be as between man and man, where it gets old, where it gets ugly, and where it grows less because of sin and it does no longer have beauty and freshness like that in heaven.
Behold, the work for the Lord is like a school, like teaching, like an offering, like the love for the Lord and for one’s neighbor, so that all may be one, and whoever cannot do so, one like that does not know, he does not learn what the life with Christ is and what it expects from man. I have set good teaching on My table with you, My people. Those who take My teaching from you get sweetened with it, they are comforted with it, they are nourished with it, they clothe with it and they also wait for My victory over the world, as once again the time will come for Me to overcome the world, and I will do this through My obedient people. Amen.
Now, I am establishing you in the spirit of comfort, all of you. I am sending to you comforting angels, healers of spiritual and bodily pains, and you should strengthen each other in the love for Me, and all together to have the same desire for everything that has to be fulfilled. I am the One Who stays at the helm of each storm that might try to weaken your peace and your walking, and you have to strengthen yourselves in Me with great faith, sons, for everything is possible with the one who has got faith in Me. Oh, comfort and help each other while you are under the burden of the soul and body, and all of you should watch for all those things that are to be worked either by the spirit or by the hand, and in everything let Me be the beginning and the end, the word and the fulfilled work, sons. Behold, the sun is coming and is warming up the sky. Receive power. I, the Lord, always foment your wounds, I always comfort your longing and waiting and I always give you power and health to your body and soul, sons. Be faithful and ask Me for your progress with My entire word before you, with My whole coming, for it will not stop from its course and from its working, and I am the One Who fulfills in this way.
I am embracing you and comforting you, for your hearts are weakened, but I am the One Who strengthens you, and you will be strengthened, sons. I, the Lord, have always, always, overcome for you, for My walking with you. We will always overcome, always, and we will be victorious. Amen.
Rejoice, Jerusalem, rejoice over the One Who builds you up and give praise to His name, for the Lord loves His people, as it is written. Amen, amen, amen.
And you, sons, who have not listened beautifully to My word so that it may be fulfilled upon you according to My plan, oh, bring your knees and your forehead down to the ground and deepen yourselves in prayer and repentance and take from the saints the voice of their prayer and tell Me with tears: „We do not have our heart full of pain to seek after You, Lord. We neither have the repentance nor the humility that turns the sons back, and we do not have tears as well, for our sight and our faith have been darkened and we have forgotten all our memories with You and our heart has grown cold. However, we pray to You to get up for us and to breathe in us the spirit of repentance and the lack of vindication for our sins made by accusing others for our salvation, and make us seek after You; and then further, we pray to You to strengthen Your image in us, for we have forsaken You and we have come out from You and afterwards we have estranged ourselves from You and from the sheep of Your flock, in whose hearts Your revelations shine, Lord, and the comfort for their toil and patience in troubles, for Your grace is great and abundant, and please give us the grace to be part of Your mercy for those who, by their repentance, obey You.” Amen.
