My word of Shepherd is My work of today upon the earth, and so I work, oh, and I have a word of longing in My voice, for I am a Shepherd and I gather My flock near from time to time and I share Myself out over it with heavenly food; and behold, I announce Myself on a day of Sunday over the citadel of My word and I bless now the preparation and the setting in My gardens with you of the feast of Pentecost, oh, sons who open to Me and who set Me in the book when I come to you as word.
Oh, peace to you, much and sweet peace among you in all the time of your work with Me, sons! And now, for the Sunday after this one, we have to set a table of celebration and My comfort upon the table so that I may share Myself out with it to those who shall gather at My meeting with them on the day of the patronal feast of My citadel with you, the feast of the descent of the Holy Spirit the Comforter, the Spirit Who makes Me a path to come and to speak over the earth, as I shall work today too over those from the citadel who come now for examination and for fresh guidance over those who, through the power shared out from above, step toward the rank of those who become sons of God and heirs at My new table with My new people, whom I, the Lord, have gathered from among the sons of the world so that it may walk after My voice of Shepherd, as I worked two thousand years ago as well, when I gathered from here and there a little handful of people so as to renew it, so as to wash it, so as to make it clean and to shepherd it and to give it afterwards the gift of faith, and through faith for it to become the fruit of My work with it and My comfort upon the earth in that time of darkness and of straying from God of the men everywhere; oh, but I come and I give you too My word so that you may share Me out with it and so that I may fulfil it afterwards, for with it I work, and it is My walking from end to end, since My coming upon the earth has arrived from heaven, sons.
We now seat at a shepherd's table the citadel which has come on this Sunday for the examination of their walking with the Lord as sons of the people of My word; and we have to set in the book the manner in which all those must have their spirit and their behaviour and their faith and their watching who enter the rank of those who are to Me a new people of New Jerusalem, and upon whose table I, the Lord, am word and body; and I Myself sup with them at the table of the new Passover, promised by Me that I shall take it with those who are Mine at the end upon the earth, and at which supper I come down with those from heaven, as I promised.
And now, oh, sons who are guests on this day in My citadel, behold, open your hearts so that you may understand all that I write in My book of today, for in the church from the world, where the sons of the world go, I am not with My voice as I am here at the table of My supper with those who were then My disciples and with those of today; and behold, not just anyone can be seated at this table renewed through My word of today, and with a separate preparation, for at the church from the world those who go to that table do not prepare themselves and are not prepared, oh, for there is no one to teach them if I do not fit with them too with the word with which I come today upon the earth so as to prepare for Myself a holy flock for My supper; and behold, I prepare separately those who are My people of today and I tell them always: Remain within My love, remain within Me! And those who cannot do so, those are beggars and they walk here and there from end to end, from door to door and from some to others all the time, and even in their time of prayer, when their mind roams elsewhere; and hardly do they come back to speak with the Lord when they read their Christian rule and their work as sons of God, their bond with the Shepherd from above, Who comes to prepare His flock separately.
Oh, sons, I have set a calendar of living for those who choose to walk with Me on the way with a new walking of New Jerusalem, and by no means with idleness, for with idleness they find themselves something else to do; and those cannot be joined to the ones who work for God and for His walking of this time; and examination is needed on the days of gathering at the spring, and the primer for this holy school of My new people must be understood and followed.
Thirty-five years ago, when I came out above with the glory of My announcing word over the earth, I set for sight the little white stone, the mysterious ark in the little garden of My word; and under the foundation stone was placed the charter in which was written the living of the new people, which shall be built upon this word of testimony with a new life, full of the fruit of holiness, without which no one can become a son of God and of this new people, in the midst of which I, the Lord, am at table as body and as word and I speak and share out counsel and give notice of My works and am alive and full of speaking, just as My shared-out word testifies about Me at table with those from the citadel prepared by Me and by them, and over whom I am with the heaven and with those from heaven at table with them, with My saints, who are full of longing to come with Me to them, into My citadel with them.
You who come now and then to the spring so as to drink, oh, take care that it may be of profit to you and that you may fulfil what I give for working to those at My table from here. Oh, stay on the way with Me, but seek to understand clearly the walking on the way with Me, for I see here and there a walking mixed with the things from outside, with those from the world, who are the sons of the world; but the step from darkness to light must be made entirely, and then you must remain within Me, so that I too may be able to remain within you, oh, sons. Therefore I bow down and I beg you to take care of your mind and of My staying in your spirit, for otherwise your mind is a beggar at doors and you mix Me in it with the things with which you walk wherever you walk; and those who work so lose the gift of faith and then fall from holiness and no longer remain within Me and come to forsake Me from the table, as Judas did, who after he took from My new Passover went out from Me and went as a beggar at doors straight to those with whom he caroused, when he ought to have stayed within Me with his mind and with his spirit. I say this so as to beg you not to forsake your union with Me all together as brothers, oh, sons, for today a little, tomorrow again a little, until your wandering becomes a habit, and the separation from Christ becomes an occupation of the spirit of your mind, sons.
This day here and now in the citadel is a day of whole teaching, and let all the people take and learn, so that it may be known who those are who can be with My walking of today and with the people prepared through My word of Shepherd.
And those who have not learned and have not grown accustomed to the walking in the flock with a Shepherd, those should stand aside, for My light makes plain those who are not prepared after so many years of counsel from above, and after all the time they have stayed as beggars at doors here and there and have not loved obedience and the walking with a Shepherd, oh, for they have obeyed neither with the spirit nor with the body, neither with the grace nor with the fulfilment.
You, sons from My citadel with you, shall now stand in My name before the sons who are guests at the spring and you shall take from Me and you shall make everything clear according to the understanding which is from heaven, for those who have longed and have made their way to My table with you must be and must then stand prepared entirely, oh, and they need now steadfastness and holy watching over them, and from time to time examination, for My eye is step by step upon their track so as to see and so as to watch from above their steps.
Blessing with power within it upon the work of the preparation of the feast of Pentecost in My gardens with you, when the whisper of the Holy Spirit shall come like the comforting rain and shall renew the hearts of those who shall gather beside Me and beside you, sons; and My urging for all those who shall gather is the one from always and again I shall tell them: Remain within My love, remain within Me, and I within you, as I and the Father are and work, I within Him, and He within Me, and we are one within the Trinity: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, the whole name of God, uttered by Me two thousand years ago; and you have God whole working over you, and Who works through word and gathers you into One under His great name, and which flows from heaven over the earth with a voice of Shepherd, and His name is called The Word of God at the end of time, oh, sons! Amen, amen, amen.
