2021.02.28 - The Word of God on the Sunday of the Prodigal Son
The Word of God[1] on the Sunday of the Prodigal Son
I long, I always long to open the heavens above the citadel of My word, to open My mouth and let My word flow over the citadel so that it may be placed into its book and so that it may confess the work of My coming as word on earth during this time, oh, because I have made My fortress on earth and set watchmen in it that they may receive the voice of My coming as word over the earth, to set it into motion so that it may go from margins to margins and that those on earth may be able to find God’s word during this time, that I, the Lord, have worked all the time on earth with those I have raised to My work of all times, but as today, as nowadays, I have never worked other times with just a handful of people, because My coming with the saints[2] (1Thess: 3/13; Jude: 1/14; Apoc: 19/14.) is being fulfilled now, and I am speaking with My voice from above, as I have renewed everything, everything, as it is written about the renewal of the world[3], (Apoc: 21/5) and all are worked by the word as at the beginning which I concluded with the creation of man, and after which I wanted to rest and seal that what I had worked and set it to be.
Peace to you, watchmen from the citadel for My coming as word on earth and for the good progress of the citadel and of the work in it! Oh, sons, those who are fed with the glory of My word over this citadel do not tremble before this great mystery when My word is shared with them as their food in order to be put to work over their life with God. It would be that the thrill of the love of God and of the glory of God, hidden in My word over the citadel, to seize them, sons. The reward of their faith would be greater, more than that of those who lived in My time on earth, as long as I lived among people in My body, taken from the virginal womb of My Virgin Mother, and they would no longer be earthly but spiritual and then heavenly, all those who have taken from My word, My today’s word with you, oh, but the earth presses on them, for the body demands too much, too many, as well as the human nature, deeply fallen down from its worthiness that God placed upon man at his creation, for man knew how to be proud and to believe that he can overcome God, the Creator of all things and then of man, and the man’s haughtiness became his fall from God and from the house of paradise, and behold, man has a reason to be always afflicted with repentance, for he needs forgiveness all the time in his days on earth, for his nature and flesh have always pulled him down and he has no longer anything to send up, that he may have something gathered with God, oh, and at least repentance with great humility would be for man to bring before Me, and from the spirit of humility to feel his need of God so that man may have God and no longer live without God over his life, oh, but does he know how this comes? Does the man know how he may not live without God on earth?
Oh, I know this, I have had this work over the earth with man and for man, and for seven thousand years I have been working and watching over the life fallen from heaven of the man not loving of God and disobedient to the word of God on him, for man takes his life from God’s protection and makes it as satan’s spirit exhorts him, the spirit that entered the paradise to prompt man not to listen to God, but to come out of God’s will for his own will and to spend the days of his life on earth, and this happens because this is what happened to man by his disobedience to God, to the Creator of all things and of man.
My teaching about the father with two sons is read in churches on this Sunday, being abandoned by the youngest son, who pushed his father to count and divide the inheritance and give him his share of the inheritance, for he no longer wanted to be with his father; he wanted to go far away and live his life in sinful pleasures, coming out of the hell into the way of the people on earth, to entice them to their separation from God, as did Adam in paradise, who received exhortation from satan no longer to be subject to God, to do his own will and to join his wife to their separation from God.
Oh, so is with man; he separates from God for his own will. He does not know otherwise for his life but only what man has done since his beginning, and two thousand years ago, I left written about his way back to the Lord.
A man had two sons, and the youngest asked for his share of the inheritance and went away, but the Lord watched and brought great want upon the wanderer and sent great famine over the land in which he wasted the days of his life in pleasures, and the strangers of that land did not reach their hands to help him, to relive his hunger and want of all the things for the care of his life, oh, and he finally humbled himself, thought of his father and decided to go back to beg the father and ask him to give him the work of a hired man for his daily bread. Then his father felt the heart and the repentance of his son wasted in pleasures and was filled with compassion and longing for him; he waited for him, saw him from far away, and went into his way to meet him and give him courage to come near to the mercy of his father, who had felt the pain and the repentance of his wandering and grieved son due to his deed through his separation from his father, and who, on his arrival from among the foreigners, welcomed and embraced him and gave him the clothes and the shoes of his son, and then he set the table with the fatten calf and gave a party of joy and dance in honor of his return to his father.
The eldest son, however, did not rejoice at his brother’s return, but even worse, arose with judgment against his father and was filled with wickedness, with pretentious words and murmurs in them, and said to his father, when this one wanted to invite him to come into the hall of the joy for the return of his brother, who was dead and then risen to life by his repentance before his father asking for forgiveness and for service as a hired man, and he angrily said to his father: «Behold, these many years I have served you, and I have never disobeyed a commandment of yours, but you never gave me a goat, that I might celebrate with my friends. But when this, your son, came, who has devoured your living with prostitutes; you killed the fattened calf for him». (Luke: 15/29, 30)
Oh, the eldest son did not listen to his father, who was asking him to come in for the party, even though his father told him that all of his father’s fortune belonged to him, but that they had to rejoice because of the return of the wandering one, and who came near with repentance to God and to his father for the work of a hired man.
Oh, sons, great joy is made in heaven for the one who repents and turns from sin to God. However, as for the one who murmurs at the return of the one who had gone wrong, oh, what is this murmur about? What is this sin of murmuring? It is written into the Scriptures about the punishment for the people’s murmuring, and those who want to know God and His works need to have knowledge from the Scriptures, because it is written: «I will show mercy on whom I will show mercy». (Ex: 33/19b) Oh, this is God’s justice, not as the common man may understand it, who wants justice and who does not know that he has absolutely no merit and that he is wrong for all the ugly things of his life.
Oh, it is not the justice you are looking for that you need but rather repentance, man, and you are not supposed to murmur, for I, the Lord, have mercy on whom I want to have mercy; I have mercy on whom repents from his sins.
Let all the souls that take My word from the spring here examine themselves, oh, let them examine themselves whether they may be prone somehow to commit the sin of murmuring, of dissatisfaction, of disobedience, of haughtiness, for the son, who was working with his hand in the court of the father with two sons, kept on working and working but closeness to his father, love and talking with each other, he did not have any, he was not seeking, he was not speaking with his father spiritually, and he had always sought the work done by the hands, the work of the earthly things of their citadel, oh, and therefore, he was cold, he was harsh, he was without any love towards his father, even if he was working and taking care of the needs of the citadel.
It was no longer written about this son, but it is written into the Scriptures about the sin of murmuring, oh, and let all the sons and daughters of the people of My word beware of this sin, let them beware with their heart, with their mind and mouth of it, for the judgment of all things is with God, and it is with His watching for all and over all, for the judgment of all things does not belong to man, but this belongs to God only.
Oh, repentance is good and not justification, not excuse, not coldness of soul through these, not discontent, not disobedience, oh, no, for behold, repentance overcomes all evil things, and the one who repents has favor with God; however, the spirit of repentance and its works have to be well perceived, great and much humility is needed over the Christian for this work that sanctifies man, and then denial of deadly works is needed as well, so that it may be called repentance, the repentance of the man seized with this spirit of the love of God in man, and with him, and with this love is man supposed to work his repentance, for every man is sinful and is far, far from the sight of the Lord and man’s invisible things, oh, and the animals and birds have even more than them, for Balaam was a seer of the invisible things and he was a prophet, too, but he did not see as the donkey that he rode saw, for it saw the Lord’s angel standing before them to prevent Balaam from going and blaspheming the people of Israel, and behold, the man does not see the angels, but the animals and birds see them, for this was given to them, because they do not get conceited like man, who, if he saw God and man’s invisible things would do as Adam did, who became conceited in paradise and he no longer repented from this sin, and as a result, he fell from God because of this sin, out of which many sins have kept on coming and coming.
Oh, sons, only God has the right to judge all things and situations, for the Lord is the One Who sees and nothing is hidden from Him. In addition, man has to humble continuously and he has to love without any hypocrisy or murmuring, and this is his only share for the love of God and brothers, when he willingly chooses to be with God with his life and then he has to prove this as well.
My love for My walking with you keeps Me with you always to watch over you and over your conduct, sons who have over you My word of teaching and food, oh, and I have been looking to see how much advice you have always received, how thoroughly are solved all those that may appear to be thwarted in such a way that satan may do his work over My work with you. And you are to appreciate and learn to stand under watch, sons, for a spiritual eye sees everything, and nothing remains too small or insignificant in order to appear that there is no danger; however, all things seem to be insignificant for man, who does not have the work of the holy watch, only that satan’s spirit makes the small one into a great one then, and the punishment of murmuring is painful, because the work of murmuring works its pain through it, and murmuring brings nothing good, oh, but who is the one who deeply understands the good or evil of man’s life and of his works?
Now, sons, send My today’s word as a holy lesson to all those who seek with you for My coming as word on earth for the new man’s work of those who are born of heaven, from above, at the voice of this word, who calls the man to resurrection, to renewal and to repentance, sons.
Moreover, work too; oh, you should always work, and let nothing remain without a thorough examination, lest satan may also work. Let only My Spirit, always sharp and alive, stay with you, and let only Him keep on the table the spirit of repentance and of its fruit, for without the fruit of repentance there is no resurrection at all, sons, there is no salvation, and there is no victory of God, oh, sons. Amen, amen, amen.
