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
