… In the days of My temptations, I passed through temptations as a man, and the three ones had been overcome because I answered to the temptations with God’s word and I overcame in this way. However, first, I am going to tell you that I went to Jordan with the common people who were going to repentance and to the forgiveness of their sins and for their preparation of God’s kingdom in their hearts after that. Oh, I went in this way as a man, and I received through the baptism two angels, two spirits; one good and one evil. The good one is the good spirit, the good angel and the evil one is the evil spirit, the evil angel; therefore, each man who is baptized is given two spirits in this way, and then he becomes a soldier in combat on one side or the other, as he chooses.
Oh, after forty days and forty nights had passed, while I had nothing to eat, I was tempted, and the spirit whispered to Me what it had heard from the Father at My baptism and Who called Me His Son on earth, and the spirit said: «You are hungry, but if You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread». (Matt: 4/3) However, I took the word from the book of teaching and said to it: «It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God». (Matt: 4/4) Oh, this is how I overcame the first temptation. Then the second one came and the spirit took and set Me on the pinnacle of the temple and whispered Me to throw Myself down, telling Me: «The Lord will give His angels charge concerning You, to keep You, so that You do not dash Your foot against a stone». (See Matt: 4/6) And again, the answer was according to the book of the teaching, and I said: «It is written, ‘You shall not test the Lord, your God». (Matt: 4/7) I overcame the second temptation, too, and there came the third one, for the spirit took Me on exceedingly high mountains from where I saw the world and all its glory, and the spirit said: «Behold the world, ‘I will give You all of these things, if You fall down and worship me». (Matt: 4/9) Then there came the answer of the teaching from the Lord’s book and I said: «Get behind Me, satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve». (Matt: 4/10) Oh, this is how I, the Lord, overcame, the three temptations after My baptism from Jordan, and I related all these things and all were written. Oh, and what did I do afterwards?
Oh, sons, sons, this is how you are to do as well, when you speak to yourselves. Answer with God’s word, not by yourselves, for the man’s spirit is weak, and that is why you should keep away from speaking from yourselves, because this is the work through which satan can pull you down from God’s presence.
… Oh, it is the day of the feast of the cross, sons from the spring, and I have made the memorial of that time, the pain of the love on the cross, for the love was stronger than death, and the cross is sweet, oh, sons, and is not separation. And I have always had you in My arms and I have given you power to carry the cross of My coming now, and you have to be in My image and after My likeness, for two thousand years ago, I put between the disciples and Me the sign of the Love of God, the cross, the sign of the Son of Man in all the time in My love between man and Me.
Oh, carry My love in you! Always look to it, to the cross of My love for you, for man, oh, sons! Amen, amen, amen.
