3.2. The Working of God’s Commandments
Oh, sons and daughters of my Son’s word, Who gives birth to man from above! Open the book of His teaching on you and follow His teaching, for the resurrection of the dead comes and the people have to fear God and to fulfill His commandments on earth so that the Lord may remove from them the reward of their transgression. Teach the people their resurrection from sin, their resurrection from death. Tell those who call themselves Christians, that to be a Christian means to live in the spirit, soul and body in Christ and not in this world. And how comes in this world? That is in its desires, for my Son whispered in the ear of those who hear Him speaking; He said that as the man dips his morsel of bread or polenta in the tray with greaves, in the same way he spreads his morsel of sin and spoils his heart, his body against the spirit of the life of my Son, in man. Oh, always watch for your resurrection, always, always for resurrection. Love one another as my Son has loved you. How has He loved you? He laid down His life for you. And you should do the same to each other and work the resurrection in a spirit of humility to each other, and in the same way, you should exhort those who ask you about God, Who speaks with you. Oh, build each other in Christ. This means to love one another as the Lord, Jesus Chris, my Son, has loved you. Oh, I would like to speak very much with you; I would very much build you and teach you very much with the spirit of resurrection by my speaking, but you have much instruction upon you, for the wisdom of the word of my Son upon you is great. Keep watch for one another for the Lord’s teaching upon you, for there comes the resurrection of the dead, which waits in the dust of the earth, and this Scripture waits after you. The Lord wants you to be one and one, and all of you to be grown at the same stature, built equally and equally filled with God. Ask for the growth upon you. Set watchmen to feed you from God, to feed you continually, for it is given to them to feed you according to His order. He who takes grown from himself, that one is not a beautiful child, and he who receives growth from the hand of those ordained by God for you, that one is blessed and protected from death, because this means for man to pass from body into spirit. Oh, blessed are those who listen to those who are ordained by God over them! Blessed are those who become a field, for those who sow God’s kingdom in man. Blessed are those who listen to the advise and hand of those who work from God upon them, because man has to deny himself and he can do this only in obedience, for there have been great people on earth in their rank and love for God, and when they longed after their salvation more, they bowed down and went to obedience, to selfdenial and to their cross bearing in order to be saved, for he who is saved is he who saves from his self, and man’s salvation is nothing else, but the saving life in man.
Oh, listen to God’s precepts, you, God’s sons, and listen to those who are ordained by God to lead you so that you may be guided sons, obedient sons. Amen.
excerpt from The Word of God at the feast of the Cover of the Lord’s Mother of October 14, 2008
Peace to you, My people! Let much and much peace be between Me and you, and this means the fulfillment of God’s commandments over your being and between brother and brother. Oh, do not be afraid of bad people; do not be afraid of storm. I am He Who protects you, because you cannot do this. I can, and you should be able to work for God. I can, and you should work resurrection. Amen.
excerpt from The Word of God at the feast of the Cover of the Lord’s Mother of October 14, 2008
Oh, My people, the man cannot bear sufferance. He seeks only after his comforts and he makes his comfort out of sin, and there is no one to tell him and there is no one to stop him from this lie and there is no one to remind him of My commandments for man which have to be fulfilled by man on earth, for I want the man’s life and not his death, My people, which tramples under his foot My commandments and works out death.
Oh, how and in what way shall I speak to the man more not to violate God’s commandments? I gave the man and I go on giving him the book of My speaking with you, My book of today, and by which I bring My speaking of two thousand years ago to the man, to his memorial, and God’s entire book of history with man, My people. I have always become word of life and repentance for man and I stay into his way to hear and see My mercy on him and to see My waiting and to see My sufferance for him, for God suffers and all the saints suffer in Him from man’s departure from God. Man works everywhere only sufferance for God, and he does no longer know that he is seen by God, but on the contrary, he says that the Lord does not see and does not know.
Oh, My people, only into your midst I refresh My pain from man, for I only tell it to you, and then I set My speaking with you before the man who forgets My sufferance from him and who diminish My victory for him against the opposing spirit, which pulls the man away from the way of the commandments of life. I built the man from the beginning and I meant him to be as holy as God and to be the dwelling place of God’s rest, but he did not love Me because he did not listen to Me. After the man does not listen to Me, he does not love Me either, for love means obedience, and love does not mean anything else.
Behold, I set before you, people of My word, a mystery that is not understood. Man does not need wisdom, but he needs obedience instead. If the man comes after Me and does not take his cross, that is his obedience, by which he is supposed to follow Me in My entire word upon him, then he becomes My enemy, and he becomes his own enemy too, and this is a greater enemy than before his coming to God, for whoever loses his obedience, also loses his wisdom and the protection of his life, for the lack of man’s obedience draws the devil to him, and the devil comes with the man’s fearless spirit of God, then he comes with the spirit of doubt and then with the spirit of unbelief, if the man does not come back to repentance and with humility on the way of obedience to God on the way of God’s commandments. Oh, read every day, once with your prayer, read God’s commandments, son. Make a small note and make it hard so that it may not be broken, and write on it and read from it God’s commandments, so that they may not be altered in you, son taught by God, so that God’s dwelling in you may not be spoiled, for the hell is on earth, and from everywhere it steals man’s watchfulness for God in man, and if he who promises himself to Me does not stay firm, he is overcome by the devil’s bait, by the devil’s whisper, by the devil’s will, which tries to pull the man away to disobedience to God, to the violation of God’s commandments in man and between man and man.
It is the feast of the cross, My people. The cross on which I was nailed has come to testify; it has been testifying before the people to the witness of My divinity, for God died on the cross for man, My people. Oh, take care, have mercy on the Lord, for the Lord died for man. Take care of your life, of your salvation from Me; take care not to lose it, for I paid for it two thousand years ago, but you should not lose it, son, but you should struggle to earn it more and more, day by day, and then you will be able to do this only by obedience to God’s commandments, son, and which the man crushes in his own body even from his beginning, because man did not listen to God, but he rather listened to the angel of death, which came into being once with the man’s disobedience, for man brings forth evil spirits from his mind and heart and from his body, spirits opposing to God and the man forgets about the cross, he forgets about life, for the life is kept in man only by the spirit of obedience, only by the fulfillment of God’s commandments for man. When I told the man to listen to Me, I also told him that if he did not listen, he would surely die, and behold, disobedience is the death by which the man dies in his spirit and which brings on him the death of his body then, but who gets up on earth to tell the man that he surely dies by his disobedience to God and that the sin he has committed goes before his death? Behold, I have told this to the man. I have also told him at the beginning and I tell him now too, in the end, and that is why I have had to come again on earth as word upon man. I am the beginning and the end, and after the end there is a beginning again, for I am without the end and I exhort the man to listen as I listened to God, the Father, and I am without the end. Amen.
Oh, the man does not want to believe that he can listen to God if he wants. Oh, the one who does not listen, how to believe? Oh, the one who does not believe, how to listen? Oh, how is supposed to listen he who does not believe? However, you, My people, listen to God, for His commandments are life and victory only for the one who believes in them inside of him and they are faith in the one who fulfills them in his body, in his soul and in his spirit. Amen.
It is the feast of the cross, My people. My sufferance and the sign I suffered two thousand years ago for the man has become a feast of memorial for those who believe by fulfilling God’s commandments. Blessed are those who have lifted the wood of My cross to My glory before man, but even more blessed are those who listen to God’s word and fulfill it with faith, and let this word be this way in you, son of My people of today, and I go on telling you that a son of My people is only he who fulfills that what I ask him and teach him to fulfill. Amen.
Oh, I do not know how to strengthen My way and coming anymore, for the wound on My way is heavy, heavy, deep and burdensome, and I cannot dispose of it. I am the son of sufferance that comes from man. My sufferance from man has become a heavy cross on Me and seven thousands years of man’s disobedience has been piled up on it; seven thousands years of man’s death, of man’s sin, and the commandments of the life are crushed by man, as crushed as the man who does not want to look into them as to God, for their fulfillment means God in man. The man who sees God is he who fulfills God’s commandments and is the one in whom God is seen and who makes life in people, for he has the Lord’s power in him, and a man like that becomes a miracle worker and worker of God in man. Such a cross do I want you to carry, and to lift up in order to be seen, My people. The sign of the holy cross is made by the hand of the sinful man on his body. This sign is weak if the commandments of life are not fulfilled inside the man. Behold, there is no one to put the evil spirit away from the earth and from the man’s way. Only he who becomes the dwelling place of the life commandments, only that one becomes the mourning of the devils, only that one can take out demons from people, only that one is called that has fast and prayer, holy deed and power through it, and only in this way the man can help the man in his way with life, on the cross of life giving in man’s life, who knows and understands what the love of the cross for man means. Love is nothing else but obedience to God and to His entire word for man’s life. Love means obedience, My people. The man does not need wisdom, but he needs obedience instead, because faith comes from obedience, steadfastness and fulfillment. The man does not need love, but he needs obedience. This is how I love the Father. Amen.
Let the love between Me and Father be among brothers as well, and let it not be otherwise among the least of My brothers. Amen. Such love the Father has given to you, and by it He has given to you to be called His people, My people, son of My word, which gives you birth to be and then to fulfill it, for if you do not fulfill it, you are not, even if you believed when you heard God’s word, which calls all people to the Father, all, for God is full of mercy for man. Amen.
excerpt from The Word of God at the feast of the Holy Cross ascension of September 27, 2008
– Having come with You, in a mystery of Holy Spirit of the feast of the Pentecost, we confess, Lord, those that are not seen by human eyes, but they are seen by the spirit of faith and then by the spirit of the love for the heavenly things, oh, merciful Teacher. Oh, how beautifully You have been teaching the people today! Oh, how beautifully we have also stayed, listening and eating from Your mouth! We, Your saints, were on earth as well, and we are now again from near You, Your confessors upon people. Our life full of You on the earth was confessing on earth and in heaven, Lord, for our love for You was glorified in us and it was confessing its work as well. Oh, You should also have this kind of disciples, Lord, and let their number increase, and let You be comforted, for great, so great and so painful, Your pain and Your wound are from man’s lack of love, from his lack of faith and from his such great departure from You, Lord. The meat the man goes on eating by killing the animal or the bird to eat meat, this man’s great fall darkens his body, his mind, his heart and his power to stop doing this sin. The man cannot turn back into the Scriptures of the life commandments, and in which is said: «Man, you shall not kill». Oh, Lord, oh, Lord, oh, Lord! How hard it is for You on earth with man, but how merciful You are for man! You could not, and You have been waiting for two thousand years to be able to do, but You could not rejoice over a people, totally clean from the spirit of meat, Lord. The spirit of meat is that which has dominion over man, and the man, even if he tries to love You, he cannot love You, Lord, for You need to be loved with all man’s being and work, and not in a very small portion, Lord. Oh, how shall the man be able to work out the commandments of life and which You wrote on a stone by a finger of fire to leave them to the people; how shall the people be able to take them upon them when they do not look and do not want not to forget that on the top of the commandments stays written the commandment to love God with all man’s mind, with all his soul and with all his might, to be able to fulfill then all the other commandments written under the greatest commandments, the mother of the commandments, the mother which gives birth to all the other commandments in the man who fulfills Your first commandment over man? Oh, who shall fulfill the commandments of life without first fulfilling the first one among them, Lord? We, Your confessing saints, speak the word of our testimony for You and we speak to Your people of old and then to the one who is born now and from now on, to fulfill in him the life and its commandments, and we say this: Listen Israel to the Lord commandments Who tells you: «You shall not kill; you shall not commit adultery; you shall not steal; you shall not give false testimony; you shall not covet those that are not yours, for when the Lord wrote the commandments of life, there came thunders and lightning and heavenly trumpets, and all the mountain was smoking, and Israel saw it, trembled and was very much afraid, for God came down in a mountain of fire and smoke was coming up on the mountain like the smoke in a furnace, and all the mountain was trembling under this glory», (See Ex. 20), as it is written in the Scriptures. Listen, Israel of today and tomorrow, listen to the voice of the commandments and be filled with consuming zeal for the Lord, your God, for since then and up to these days, the Lord has not been able to rejoice over a people fulfilling of commandments, for the man cannot believe and not eat meat.
Oh, Israel, oh, Jerusalem, the man shall not eat meat, for the Lord wrote with His finger of fire the commandments of life and told the man not to eat meat, for when He said «You shall not kill», He also said to the man no to eat meat. Oh, do not look, do not look into the Scriptures that write that the man ate meat and the Lord spoke like man. Oh, the man is not supposed to do this. The man has to look into the commandments and fulfill them. Amen. This is what we confess, the Lord’s saints, the saints with whom the Lord comes, when He comes as word on the earth, accompanied by His glory, by His angels and saints. He who kills to eat, that one also commits adultery after that, for meat eating separates the man from God, and the man chooses his body and his taste, as Israel chose its meat, and because of it, it has no longer loved God.
Oh, people of the Lord, do not be small in your wisdom. Oh, the man shall not eat meat. The man has to come back at his beginning and to look at the Lord’s voice when the Lord told the man what to eat on the earth and then He told him what to eat from heaven. The man has to read in the Scriptures from the beginning and see the man’s fall in them by his disobedience and to learn from this and tremble, and then to take the way of life, the way with obedience to God in it. Amen.
We, Your saints, Lord, have spoken to Your people that has come to the spring and confessed to it Your pain from man and called out to it to listen to You and we told him that the man does not have to eat meat, but to eat only what You told him to eat. Amen. We wanted to confess to comfort You, Lord, for the spirit of confession has power by its work, and behold, now there stay to confess You those who are remembered with their soul on the altar to which they are called to their resurrection, Lord, and behold, this is how it is getting complete the spirit of testimony, which is working now from near You and teaching Your people the wisdom of life, oh, Lord of the saints and of Your confessors. Amen, amen, amen.
excerpt from The Word of God at the feast of the Holy Spirit Descending – the second day of May 28, 2007
Then I had comforting disciples, and I also want to have disciples now, and I teach you to be My comforting disciple, son of My people of today, who hear My godly voice over you. Oh, love God with all your soul, with all your heart and with all your mind and with your good work, and you should also love your neighbor as God has loved the man and gave breath of life to every man who is born on the earth and to all that are born and receive a soul in them. I need comforting disciples, for My cross is with great pain from the man and the man does not know his pride and the damage that comes from it, for pride itself is the man’s damage, and God cries for the blind man with his soul received from God, My people.
excerpt from The Word of God on the third Sunday of the Lent, of the Holy Cross of March 11, 2007
Let there be word! Let there be feast of word, for I, the Lord, the Word of the Father Sabaoth have made everything by the word, starting with the light. Amen.
I am at the right side of the Father among those from heaven, and on the earth I am word, for My work is to become word on the earth and upon the man. Oh, but what is the man’s work? The man has to become work of My word, and that one is the one who believes in Me, and the one who does not work that way, that one is written with the unbelievers, with those who stand against God.
I become word into the midst of My faithful people, for the faithful one becomes My fulfilled word, and then it becomes My help on the earth for My coming after the man. Amen.
