2018.03.11- 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 coming closer to you with a sweet word, I am making My entrance into the book and I am finding watch in waiting at the entrance, for I am saying that I am coming and I do not come otherwise.
Oh, I am coming with sweet word, a word of watching and exhortation for watch. I, the Lord, take care of those who are prepared to be My church on earth, and I call them the sons of My Father, My brothers, and for this I want to grow them beautifully, and let those who find Me on the way of My word on the earth take My advice upon them, let them take and humble themselves in order to know God and His will worked by man on earth, for only man can make the Lord rejoice, and without the joy from man I do not have any joy among the things that make Me rejoice, for I made man with joy and I also want him to make God in him with joy, and I want him to show that he has got the Lord as his Maker and Master.
Oh, sons, who receive My word and put it into the book, behold a day for the remembrance of the cross, of the walking with the cross on the way of the Lent, a time in which the Christians adjust their walking with the cross and with repentance on their way with the Lord and submission of the body, which always lusts against the spirit in man, against the Lord, sons, and the love and care for the soul are little in comparison to the body needs, they are little within man, for the body always asks to be fed and trained, because this is how man teaches it and gives it.
It is half-way the time of the fast to meet the Lord’s Passover, and we are sitting down and examining; we are sitting down and examining each other, I am examining those on the way of the fast, and they are examining Me, the One Whom they have chosen as a way for their life, for two thousand years ago I said: «I am the Way!».
It is a day of Sunday, the third of the Lent. I am staying and examining the people of My word, the one that has given itself to Me, and which I have put at the table of the new Passover, and, at the same time, I am also examining those who walks sideways and hears My word who is divided between body and spirit, between world and God, and this division man is not able to do even if he sees that it reconciles one of the two ways, and this is because the Lord cannot have the man on His side with his life only half-way, and if we speak bout steadfastness, then man can hardly come to the point of choosing and doing after that.
Oh, I suffer from the one who feels no pain because of God and because of him and keeps on walking on the sides and does not make any steps to the table of wedding, and the world blames him and it keeps the weak one within it. Oh, it is a way of the examination of the steps of life, and I am speaking to those from My Supper and especially to those who walk on the side, and I am telling them that the time of the fast requires much so that the fasting may have power and holy support for the life of those who fast, seeking after the Lord by their abstaining from food and by their faith for this. The time of the fast needs to have all the fasting in man, all of it, sons, for he has to fast more because of the attacks of his flesh and its habits and his mind has to fast from the things which are foreign to God, and his heart also has to do the same, and the eyes too, which lead to the heart everything that separates it from the Lord. Oh, and the Christian also has to fast from wickedness, from impatience, from disappointment, from carelessness of the soul, and from disobedience, sons, and then from scattering, anger, lie, hidings, pride, and from many other devilish works, such as envy, evil and empty talk, lack of love, and God’s sons have to fast from the world, oh, from the world, sons. (See the selection topic: „About fasting and almsgiving”, r.n.)
Oh, if I had no way of speaking with you, children who receive My word, oh, how could I leave My word on the earth to be heard, well sons? Oh, how shall I not bow to thank you that you welcome Me and that you share Me and make Me into a book on earth? And how are those who have spite against you not supposed to go wrong and do harm? They have a spite against you and grow it and they scorn you feeling important against you and thus they grow colder and colder to their disadvantage with respect of their walking behind Me, with carelessness for their walking on their behalf? Oh, many have inflicted blows in their walking to the Lord by this sin, by showing contempt against you, by a spirit of judgment and by evil talks, for I spoke for the one who helps Me in the world as My carriers and messengers and told them: «He who does not receives you, does not receive Me», (Matt: 10/40), and I also told them: «If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they keep My word, they will keep yours also», (John: 15/20), for this is given to them, that is to those who do not take after Me among those who are many; it is given to them to fall into sin, and this is how they will see Me all the time on the earth through those who suffer for Me and like Me, afflicted and scorned by those who are unbelievers and careless with their life, far with it from the truth of life. Therefore, I am giving this day advice for the carrying of the cross, and for this truth deeply rooted in the life of the Christian, and I want to give much advice for the self-denial for those who follow Me with the cross, and not without a cross on their way, for this is the cross and its carrying: the self-denial means the cross and the staying under the cross with the Lord.
Oh, sons, oh, sons, you those who are Mine, but you too, those who want to be with God on the way, here I am bringing you holy advice, advice for those who are holy, well sons! First I am exhorting and advising you not to receive any kind of advice from the devil when it is something to be done, when you want to do what it has to be done. Oh, and how one is able to know or do this? Those who are weak when it comes to obedience and watch cannot break their will easily and they do not get away from the devil trap if they are not used to the Christian teaching and obedience for it, that which watches the Christian all the time. However, those who love and are obedient are used to the obedience, with the blessed life in everything and all things, and with the watch for obedience too, and these know to keep this watch, for they do not receive any self-advice if they are God’s sons. Oh, many times you are able to know from the thing that you want to do; it teaches you how to do it, but if it comes advice to you, then it is sent to you, it comes to you to teach you not to take advice from your own self, if you are not already used by your nature to do this, that is to take from you. However, if you have near you or close to you someone on My behalf and you give him to do something as you do, when he is worked by My grace in season and out of season for those who stay under My advice, oh, what else can you choose or understand for your stature of every moment before Me? Oh, receive from God if you do not want to take any advice from the devil or from your own self, if you want, son, and anyone that comes to you from God, this is how you should know, for this is how the Lord works when you want to be guided by Him and He sends you advice, but only if you want. He who knows that is a Christian, but protects hard and from all sides his own will with respect to those of whom he is part of, oh, then what kind of cross is seen that this one carries, when the cross I told man to carry is self-denial, the breaking of his will in exchange for God’s will upon him?
The dedication and the man’s sacrifice for dedication, oh, this means obedience, it means the breaking of the will, it means works, it means to work, the law, which I gave man in paradise as his work, and I did not say him to stay. Oh, a Christian is not supposed to be idle any moment, because it is much, much to do, moment by moment it is only to work and watch for this, but if he takes advice from the devil, oh, can he be called by the name of a Christian, is he set under the name of Christ? The name of Christian comes from My name, Christ, and those who belong to Christ are those who listen to Him, for at the creation of all that are visible and invisible, all receive the commandment to work, to labor, and behold, the grass grows, the springs flow, the sun shines, the trees go green, they blossom and give fruit, the wind breezes and does good, or it blows and ruffles and this it has to be done, and, further on, the flowers blossom and fill the mountains, the hills and meadows, the soil works and from its work gives men and animals their food in abundance, and the rain comes from heaven and waters the soil and the inhabitants on it, oh, and all and everything works, and nothing, nothing is without work, and even the stones work and grow and receive their different colors from God, and the wood becomes shelter and food for everything that has spirit of life in the wood, and behold, work is the holy law for all God’s things, and God has submitted all things to man, in whom heavenly love, food for the soul and fasting from the devil should dwell, for man is the place of the Lord’s rest, and I find My rest in the man’s love, and if he does not have My rest in him, it is because he does not have love in him.
Oh, obedient sons, do not try to stop from work for the occupations for your creation from God, for the man’s creation lasts to the end upon man, everything for the beauty of the soul in the body, for you are Christians. Oh, the greatest worry you are to have for those with which you fight in an angelic way: always humility and in everything holy prayer, usual holy readings, holy works for the soul and for the brothers, and the holy work is that which comes into your way, not that which you seek to choose according to your pleasure, and if you do this then you are guilty and you do not come to the Lord but only with guilt by your works, and more than that you also fall into the errancy that comes because you have not broken your will, in other words you fall under the devil’s guidance.
For behold, sons, I let it known here at the gates and I said this: What can women do when they want to meet and gather together, oh, what else can they do but gossip, slander by evil talks, lament and justify themselves, look for consolation and justice, look for their own business, desires and wills, and by so doing they keep away from the will that comes into their way to do the work for their salvation? And I let this be known for those who think that they are Christian for the work of My word.
Oh, it is not well, it is not well, sons and daughters, it is not well for someone to go from house to house, as I told My disciples two thousand years ago, lest they could try to do the will of the people greedy after their comfort and not after Christ’s, and lest they might fall under the wills of those who could draw them to their wills.
Oh, do not leave in the time of fasting, do not go, Christian, to other houses to walk and to stay. Stay at your house and persevere in repentance and keep your mouth from sins, and your heart from the spirit of judgment, from the spirit of woman, and refrain your desire from justice on your side, for all these are sins, while you say that you abstain from food during fasting. Oh, I look at those that come and do according to the work of My word in feasts, and I look and see that they do not know what the time of fasting is, when one is not supposed to eat much and any kind of food, but rather, one fasts from the sins of his mind and heart, from the sins of lust, and one also fasts from wickedness, from anger, pride, slandering, shameful and indecent complaints, from indecent boldness, from all the sins that lead to death, and for which the church has no patience to pray for those under these burdens. Oh, and people must fast from the world too, from the walking through the world, sons, from staying with the world, from speaking with it and with its spirit, in order words people fast from the devil, that is the master of the world and the ugly face of the world, divested and voided of the beauty from above, and behold, man cannot fast from the devil and from the face of his works, if he does not know that all these are sins, and fasting for these is needed, fasting like the fasting from food, and even more than the fasting from food.
Oh, you those who know what fasting is with all its wholeness, oh, sons, do not stop from praising the Lord incessantly and singing to Him, for all the angels, and all heavenly hosts and powers, all the saints sing to the Lord, and all the nature sings to him in mysterious tongues and songs, and you do not be lazy and stop giving glory to God, for I, the Lord, want you all to be where I am, if you do not distinguish from one another on earth with those that you have to live and to bring them worked in a brotherly way before Me.
Oh, you have to give forth fruit, you have to bring fruit before Me, sons, for here you have holy advice from the saints, that the laziness, the care for many things, the lust for authority and the empty talks are the things that you have to fast from for a longer time and all the time, you, those who know what the true Christian fasting is, and to this you have to add the work of the cleanness of the spirit, the humility of the thought, the spirit of patience and love, the repentance for the wrong doings, and the lack of the judging of your brother, everything brought to the Lord with times of praise and prayers, as the saints did, for you cannot say, “I believe in this work because this is what I want,” and still be good what you say. Oh, this is what do many of those who try to go with the work of My word without knowing what it means and what the Lord expects from those who believe in My coming now as word on earth. First you have to learn and know what to do, and only after that you can do, and if you try otherwise, then you do it somehow, you do it as you want, and those who do not walk beautifully on the way of this work and under its name, oh, these do harm to Me, they put to shame My coming, My walking, teaching and My entire little flock, and this is how they strike God, and in no way do they follow Him, for when they have nothing to charge the Lord and His saints with, the world and its rulers put on their forehead the ugliest sin, the sin of immorality, of those who have lied to God and who are the sons of the devil.
And behold, I am still teaching you: Sons, sons, if you are not able to give forth fruit and be the fruit of the work of My word, to be yourselves ripe and mature fruit, and, more than this, to bring others as fruit for God, to have a reward for your fruit according to My will, not according to your will, oh, at least not to put down from near the Lord those who come and give their life to Him and to receive in them the life from above. Oh, if you, who have got used to going from house to house with gossip, with calumny, with your weaknesses, and then you tell to some of your brothers or sisters in the Lord about someone else’s sins or even about yours, then you have already weakened his faith, his fulfillment, and then the love in the one with whom you share your worry about the sins of others, behold, not only that you do not give forth fruit from the vine, but you also poison the branch that wants to be grafted in the vine and to grow afterwards from God, and I am saying and saying it again for those who are not good, and I am telling them this: do not go from house to house, for I, the Lord, did not allow even My apostles to do that let alone the common Christians of the flock that follows the Lord. Oh, especially do not go in the time of the fasting. Stay in your little houses in repentance and prayer for the time of the fasting, but do not walk to and fro, idly, especially without knowing where you go, and without you being sent, for who would send you for these kinds of your indulgencies, and do you good by so doing, too? If I do not send you to harvest or to work, it is because you do not know the work of the harvest, and if you go into My name, then you bring shame on My name and you sin, you, the one who take alone and are not capable to do the Lord’s things to His glory, for in order to bring someone to the Lord, this means to be able to make him love the Lord and follow His will to holiness, not to follow you, who have taken work by yourself when you have not been sent and when you do not know to do it.
Oh, I am speaking about all these things now, for behold, pains and shame have come up to Me from those who want to come near and to think that they are the Christians suited for this work, but no, for only those who receive from Me advice, work and obedience for these, only they are the people who help Me and to whom I give to know the Lord and to understand His mysteries and their work, and only in this way the one, who comes in to be with the Lord at the table, has entered at this wedding table. (See the selection topic: „The Wedding of the Lamb”, r.n.)
My entire speaking of today, My speaking set into the book on this Sunday of the cross of the Lent at its half, everything is for those who listen to all the order and law, whole and clean of the times with fasting from everything is devilish, worldly, human, earthly, face to face with the Christian man. The Christians who fulfill everything that is required by the walking with the cross are God’s sons, and those who do not fulfill, those who do not carry the cross, are the sons of men, and there is no middle way, as many believe and do, as it is not possible to be God’s sons and also serve satan with your life and stay in his world with your spirit.
Oh, God’s sons are the sons of obedience and by obedience you have blessings from above, oh, sons, and this is how you are to distinguish the sons of God from the sons of men, as I do. And as for you, fight and work, for you need to have much work in your life on earth and it has to go to heaven with the possessions you have earned, and he who does not gather is the one who wastes, oh, sons.
Now I am blessing and putting upon you holy power and will, and much love as well, for the remaining half of the Lent and for your love for this accomplishment. Everything from Me, all are to be with blessing, and not otherwise, sons. Oh, be careful to live and work with this protection and holy obedience: the blessing, sons. It is only for the sons, not for the strangers, not for those who depart from it for their will’s sake.
I am placing you with My blessing in the care of the brotherly love, sons. The love among you is greater than any kind of sacrifice; it is greater than any kind of fasting from food, sons. Without it you cannot work for the Lord, and you cannot do anything good for you, too. You should keep it every moment among you; it keeps you under the blessed work in order to be those who are blessed and to keep on learning by this work.
I am embracing you within the protecting and holy word, which I have always spoken upon you: Peace to you! Let this work come up from you to the Lord, always, always.
Peace among you! Peace to you, sons! Amen, amen, amen.
