2019.12.19 - The Word of God at the Feast of the Saint Hierarch Nicholas
The Word of God[1] at the Feast of the Saint Hierarch Nicholas
Oh, how shall I not lift you up and bring you before Me early in the morning in the feast days of the saints, when the saints are consumed with longing and you know that they have also come within My coming on earth now, oh, sons! Therefore, We are sitting down with the descending of the word, My saints and I, and We are putting you to open the book so that We may enter and speak, oh, and you should never hesitate to open to the Lord to come to you in the feasts, for My time with you fills the heaven with longing, and the saints are rejoicing to proclaim themselves near Me working for Me and for you, and you should desire no other life, but only My coming to you, sons.
However, you shall not enjoy your life but only when you can serve God with it, Who has given you life, sons, and to Whom you owe to live your life beautifully, to dedicate it to Him with joy, and to be useful to Him with joy, for My holy workers in the time of their flesh lived their life with Me joyfully, whether they were poor or rich among other people on earth.
And today, we have the host of the bishops from heaven with us at the table here, oh, and the hierarch Nicholas is full of joy and he is announcing himself from near Me in My coming, and let us set the word of his feast, sons!
Oh, come, My great disciple, for your faithfulness to the Lord, your God, was great, and how great is your name among My saints! You had spent a life full of gratitude before Me, but I had also been pouring a sea of grace upon you even since you were in the womb to be born a baby and to grow only for Me with your love and life among people, and you are an example to be taken into account for those who choose to have a Christian life among people, but grace is after the love of God of those who choose for such a life. Only that in this great time by My coming as word on earth, the Christians, who find and seek with Me on the way, begin with the fire of the heart for a while and then go on with the man’s way of being, because after that they embrace disappointment, for they do not know what to do with their mind and how to keep it for themselves, and this is the proof that they keep it for themselves, because after a while, they become disappointed in the brotherly community, and do not ask for themselves what they say that makes them weak, what makes them cold, for they neither understand the hardships of the Christian life, nor do they understand the humility for their walking with the Lord and with the saints, and I see and measure, and I cannot pour My grace, the grace of the love of the Lord, because the love of the Lord in man always sees the Lord in everything and in all, and they work it with their spirit, with their soul and with their body, and they leave the measuring to the Lord, Whom they love and see in all things, and they see nothing else and live with joy, oh, and such a Christian life is sweet for Me, always rejoicing that they can give it to the Lord to put it in His service, waiting for the Lord, oh, sons.
I have told you in My coming as word to you that there are some among those, who passed away from their bodies and who had been rich on earth, and after they have separated from their riches, they are asking for mercy now, they are waiting for mercy from the earth, poor of them. Nevertheless, they have hierarch Nicholas as an example; the rich have to consider hierarch Nicholas as their example, who was already born a Christian, and even from his childhood he appeared to be the beloved of the Lord, who even for one moment of his life had never been seized with other longing than that of doing God’s works among people, and after coming out of infancy, he learned from a teacher the Christian life, its order and its work; he inherited great wealth from his parents and served with it as needed and in due season for those who were in need and distress, and thus he were able to rejoice by serving the Lord and his fellows, not keeping anything back for himself, but using everything in the service of others’ life, because otherwise life is of no use to anyone on earth, and then neither to the heaven. In this respect, the moth and rust parable is a parable that stays face to face with man in order to teach him as I have taught him not to lay up treasures and silver for himself on earth, and rather to be wise with respect to the riches of the eternal life, which he cannot gather anything above by gathering on earth. (See Matt: 6/19-20)
Moreover, there is still another duty in the Christian life, for when you see a sick man, you go and help him, or heal him and you give him what he needs, but you must also do so with the man who is sick in his soul; go and do all you can with the one who sins against the life of his soul; help him to get healed from sin and this is even greater mercy, both for you and for him.
And you, helpless and destitute man, as you rejoice when one of your brothers helps you to get better from a disease that makes your body suffer, so you are to rejoice when someone wants to heal you from sin, for otherwise the one, who helps you out of the mercy of the bodily suffering, that comes from sin, helps you in vain, for the hierarch Nicholas brought out of sin those whom he helped in need and want as on earth.
But behold children, people do not know what it means to be a Christian and how the Christian life may be useful to them, oh, and they gather much haughtiness without knowing when they want to help those in need, through whom they hope that they gather in haven, without knowing well how they can gather in heaven, for man needs saved souls, and people are not supposed to work on people when it comes to God’s mercy and His will with the man in his passing life for heaven.
Moreover, we want to write now into the book days of remembrance with Me among you in times of need and trouble, sons. For thirty years ago, you were in great danger and sought to be pulled out from My work with you and to be punished for My name, (By the security of the communist dictatorship regime, r.n.) for the faith with which you served Me, after I, the Lord, had chosen you to help Me carry on with the work of My word, after I had lifted up to heaven My trumpet Verginica. (Verginica - the diminutive to her real name: Virginia, the sixth apocalyptic trumpet - see selection topic: „The apocalyptic trumpets”, r.n.)
Oh, sons, I had seen with all the eyes of those from heaven the evil mash, leavened by those with a Christian name who were selling you, and I told you that the trial was coming, but I also promised you that I would bring you to victory and those set high at the helm would be punished because they wanted to suppress My work and progress.
“Oh, do not be afraid, little ones!” This is what I told you then. “When they come to take you from My work with you, I will turn back the evil, and the harmful weapons, pointed at you, I will bring them down, and you will not be put into prison and they will be put instead,” this is what I had promised you a few days before the day of trial. For I was looking from heaven at those they had plotted against you and I was also looking at those that were to come, for I foresaw how the things would turn, how many young and old men would die, shouting their freedom from the oppressive and rich in haughtiness, (At the “Revolution” in December 1989, r.n.), and I was saying by the word, “Oh, Romanian youth, oh, children, how you will go under bullets and fall bloodily on the ground, oh, sons!”
Behold it was so and thirty years have passed since then. Thirty years ago, on December 1989, you were tiny and full of fear, because those with a warrant of search and accusation for My name upon you came against you, oh, sons. On that day, in that very moment of their pressure on you, I decided your salvation in order to have you and that you and I may carry on with the work of My word over the earth.
And concerning those who had fallen then before it fell the one who gave the order for people to die for his salvation, (Dictator Ceauşescu, r.n.), I took them with the angels in glory, and I have them with great honor for them, for they were your shield for My walking today with you further, sons.
Oh, behold sons, I, the Lord, told you about the coming trial, and I also told you about your salvation at once, for you were afraid in those days even after I had promised that I would be with you, with your salvation and My angels. Oh, and I fulfilled so, sons, and then I was able to prepare well My walking with power and with you.
Oh, I fulfilled all things as I had told you, and they are all written in My book with you, (See The Book of the Lamb (The Book of Life) - The Word of God, r.n.) for I have gathered you under My mantle, sons, so that no one besides Me may have power over you.
Oh, the Lord, your God is great, sons! Now behold, the hierarch, who is celebrated today, is going to speak from among the saints over you, and I am telling him this: Come, My great servant and disciple! Peace to you in your speaking with them!
⸻ Oh, Lord, I wish You always have a people crying out to heaven before You, and may his prayer bear Your will. Oh, Lord, the rich are the poorest in life, and those who seek You are those who are alive and eternal beginning with this time, for they give You their life to work with it, and behold those with whom You work, and the entire heaven sees them and comes to their help!
Oh, sons of Christ, the Word, oh, sons, may your houses on earth be houses of prayer, and lift up your calling to heaven always, always. You, those who are here in the Lord’s citadel, and all those who follow you closely in their walking with the Lord, oh, let there not be any day or night without giving praise to the Lord, and thanksgiving and petitions to the saints. A Christian should not do only manual work during the day, but also prayers, songs, and heavenly works, and then at night again, sons, and this saved you then, in the time of trial. For by entering your house of praying, they had become guilty, and then many suffered because of their evil spirit aroused against you during those days.
Oh, how wonderfully the Lord had worked, how wonderfully for you then! Such a day-to-day living with the Lord protects you from anything might come to you with evil from the people or from the devil, and this has saved you from the trap set then for you, sons. Your house had work of praying from you to the Lord, and it had watching nights with the Lord, My sons, and behold the enemies were defeated! Now, the Lord has you, for He has kept you, but you have also kept Him, and do not forget about the Lord and His saints!
We are with you, you are not alone. As your shadows follow you before the son and it cannot hide, the same is the heaven with you on the way all the time day and night, for the Lord is your son, sons. And I am saying to you on my day of feast among the saints: peace to you, sons! The heaven keeps you within its mystery. Peace to you! Amen.
⸻ Oh, behold the word of My bishop is upon you. Do not forget to be salt and do not forget to be light, sons! When you are struck, let your souls not bleed but rather shine, sons, so that you may be the light of the world as I am. This is your duty: to salt and give light to the world, for the river of My word upon you salts and shines. (See the selection topic: „This word is the river of life”, r.n.) And, as I am in My work with you, so are you to be; to set on earth salt and light by My word, oh, sons. Amen, amen, amen.

[2] Old Style (O.S.) and New Style (N.S.) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Style_and_New_Style_dates) are sometimes used with dates to indicate either whether the start of the Julian year has been adjusted to start on 1 January (N.S.) even though documents written at the time use a different start of year (O.S.), or whether a date conforms to the Julian calendar (O.S.), formerly in use in many countries, rather than the Gregorian (N.S.)
The Church Calendar (in Romania) up to 1924 was the same as that of Nicaea, based on severe apostolic canons, but in 1924, the Scripture of the prophet Daniel was fulfilled: «the people made bold to even change the times», when the primate metropolitan - of that time, Miron Cristea, (Primate metropolitan = (in the past) a title given to the first metropolitan of a country; today it would be equal to that of a patriarch) introduced the Gregorian Calendar (Catholic) as result of a „pan-Orthodox” congress that took place in 1923, in Constantinople. At that congress, the patriarch of that time, Meletie, proposed the acceptance of the „revised” Julian Calendar, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revised_Julian_calendar) which was in accord with the Catholic one for a period up to the year 2800 and „it was allowing that all the feasts to be celebrated at the same time with those of other confessions”. «… and he shall wear out the saints of the Most High and he shall think to change the times and the law…» (Daniel 7/25), r.n.
