3.3. The Calling of Man to Be Born Again

It is a day of holy feast, sons from My spring of word, from where I share Myself everywhere like a river that runs and does not stop. The water of the river flows; it flows from up down and it passes through the mountains and valleys, and it also passes through towns and cities and among people, and the people do not know this mystery and its explanation. Oh, in the same way My word passes from you to people and the people do not know what is it and do not take from it to understand its mystery, its explanation and its running from place to place on earth with its sighing. My tears after man have been shed for seven thousand years and they have become a great river and it has been singing sighingly like the ripple of the water which passes through the mountains and rocks and through the valleys uninhabited by people, and there is no one to hear its voice, and even if someone takes to quench his pain or the thirst of his soul, oh, he does not know its power, he does not know God’s longing after man, he does not know from what sighing My word comes off when it comes and goes on earth from place to place for the people to hear it, to lift up their eyes to God and to remember My longing after man, because My longing is as much as many people are on earth are and do not know about God, and even those who know that God is do no longer know anymore, and God waits for the man’s love and He waits sighingly.

Oh, everything and all things carry from place to place the news of resurrection each in one’s tongue: Christ has risen! However, man has a spoken word, and the man has as God has, but he does not know the meaning of his language as all he unreasoning beings know, that have a measure given from God about how to praise their Master and Benefactor, and all make the sign of the cross when they go to sleep or when they get up, and they make it either on earth or in the air with their mysterious moves, praising and worshiping the Lord. However, you man, a king set by God over the creatures and they recognize you like that, oh, how much do you know Him, how much do you serve Him, how much do you honor Him, how much do you praise your Creator, the Lord your God, oh, and how much, you man who forgets about God?

Oh, I have mercy on those that do not have Me. The man who does not have Me does not know, he does not know to have Me, but when he sees that I am not in his time of trial and pain, then he tries to seek Me and waits for Me to take him out of his pains, and it is to every man’s nature to wait for his salvation in times of his falling in pains, and this means the little part given to each man of the hope coming from above to strengthen him to be able to go through sufferance and to have hope. Oh, how many unfaithful and stubborn people, who were fighting against God, how many of them were calling out, at the end of their strength, God’s name and the victory against them in battle?

Oh, man, you lack comfort and the power that comes through it in times of sufferance. It is not that you cannot have comfort, but it is because you do not need it, since you can do it otherwise, since you can by what you do on earth according to your mind and its inclinations. Oh, humble yourself in order to receive healing in your mind and to receive in it the sense of duty that you have before God, the Creator of everything built by Him, visible and invisible, for it comes to the mind of a rooster the faith and duty before the Lord, but it is not like that with your mind. The rooster goes to sleep and gets up and crows and it does his job given by God by distribution when the Lord distributed the gifts, and all were done at their time; however, do you get up for God, or do you go to sleep for Him or work that what He has given you to accomplish? Oh, the rooster thinks, man, but you do not want and do not do even this, because you have pulled yourself out of God’s hand and sold yourself on money. Do you hear this? You sold yourself and keep on selling yourself, and you look for money all the time, money and the sin on money or without money. Only God’s will you do not seek to do because your mind cannot do it, it does not have in it and it does not draws to the Lord. It does not know because it does not have, for man has killed in himself that what God has put in him.

Oh, this word is the spring of your healing, man wandering away from God. I, the Lord your God, have suffered from you and for you, and you should remember this and cry out from your entire soul: Christ has risen! Tell it to yourself and speak around you, too, about this healing news, and do no longer stay in your death and ignorance like one who lost his conscience after he had fallen from his feet!

Oh, sons who receive God, every man is sick, every one, well sons, and this because he does not have Me; man does not have God as his love. The love, which he has got, is one of his sicknesses; it is nothing else, and man is sick with his love that spoils his life.

Oh, man, do you not see how your love makes you fall and how what you love and have as dear deceives you and defiles your face? Oh, you call it love, but I call it sickness of mind and heart, fornication and a heavy burden upon people, debauchery and life wasted on pleasures in vain, like the sons of fornication.

On a day of the feast of resurrection, I come back again and again at My love for man, for the one who did not love Me after I had built him with My hand and after I had given him being, for the one who did not love Me even if I let Myself overcome by him two thousand years ago, when he did not receive his Maker to give Him shelter when I came from heaven on earth to remind him that I had given him the paradise and its happiness, and in return to give Me room and board when I made My way from heaven on earth to seek him and to give him again and again My love for him, for the one who did not love Me after I had built him.

Now I am coming before him for the third time and I am offering him My love for him; I am offering him the cleansing of his guilt, for his guilt is that he did not love Me, he did not love his Creator and did not give Him any shelter, and My way after him is full of love, full of waiting and pain because he did not receive Me, oh, and he does not receive Me now, too; he does not open to give Me rest and to put Me at the table with him, or at least to open for Me and to ask Me who I am that I speak to him as his God, and that I may tell him My story of love for him and to speak about himself and Me and to be sorry that he has not loved Me and to tell him that for this I have built him, to love Me and to give Me rest and to be My love, My comfort, My story of love, for I built him as a man builds his house to live in it and to make a family and to raise offspring by love, only that My love for man is not to his pleasure after he had made other kind of love, other kind of life than that I prepared for him, for Me with him, and since then I have remained with My love wounded and My love for man cries with sighing, for the one who did not love Me after I had built him, and I cry with longing and sore, I cry like a father who is not loved or comforted by his child and who is left aside, forsaken, with his heart seeking and with his eyes always, always in tears.

On a day of the feast of resurrection I am trying with the voice of My word to speak with man and to give him the greeting of My resurrection of two thousand years ago, when all were shouting to each other in Jerusalem and giving the news that Christ had resurrected, until this news reached before the chiefs priests, who crucified Me on the cross to wash their hands from Me and the truth about Me, for I said that I was the Son of God, the Father, and that I came on earth with the kingdom of the heavens, calling all people to it and then for it with them.

At the beginning of the day of the feast of resurrection, now as two thousand years ago I am humbling Myself before My disciples who welcomed Me after My resurrection and whom I told, „Peace to you!” because they were sad and confused. I am coming down now and telling My disciples of today: Oh, peace to you, children bearing of God, here, at My spring of word with you! Christ has risen! This is heard on a day like this far and wide among those who know that they are Christians in My name.

Oh, sons, sons, Christ has risen! My love for man is sighing even now; it is sighing and waiting, and it lets itself known that it is coming on earth after man and waits to be open for it. With your help I have made a way from heaven to earth and I cry at the gates of the men’s hearts to become known to them, to call them all to their reconciliation with God, the Father, and with His Son, Jesus Christ, the One crucified and resurrected on the third day from the grave two thousand years ago. Oh, man did wrong against God then and put Him to the cross, and therefore, man needs resurrection because of this heavy sin, which he always, always, does by this lack of love for God.

Oh, what would man have to do in order to know and to hear and turn back to God? Sons, sons, the feeling of guilt, this is what man needs to have always, always, and he needs remorse as well and much love after that so that these may replace the wages of his sin between him and God.

Oh, I see man everywhere praying to God and I see him always overcome, defeated, and the way of his prayer is broken always, always. When man brings his prayer to heaven but he also sins, oh, which one of these two is stronger and can work upon man? Oh, in order that man may no longer work his separation from God by his sin, he needs to despise the sin and to be afraid of sin as to his fiercest enemy. He who has the feeling of guilt always, then one like that is humble, is modest, and when he humbles himself with his prayer to heaven, he is no longer defeated, but rather he is victorious, because he is humble, and I, the Lord, wipe out his sin and wash his little shirt in My sacrifice on the cross for him, in My blood, which is the sign of the washing of his sin, for I shed My blood on the cross to wash man from his sin, and this is what I knew to do for man his washing and to give him again face and life, as I gave him in the beginning.

Oh, I am hurt from you and for you man. I, the one built by God, am telling you this on a day of the memorial of my expulsion from the paradise, from the house which my Creator made for me and gave it to me to keep and work, and I worked only great wandering away for me and I bowed to listen to God’s adversary in man, and because I had received advice from my woman, I fell through her, and people keep on falling from then and up to this day, and few are those who have not fallen through the woman and for the woman, and now I am saying this: let the woman cry out aloud in desperation, the woman who wakens the man to draw him to her, for man is the one who loves sin, not woman, and the woman has no mind to think that man loses first his mind because of his woman and only after that he gets confused and sees that black is white and behold, and in this way sin is born between man and woman and by no means love, and man falls into sin not by love, because love does not fall and it keeps man within holiness instead, but on the contrary, man falls into sin through the woman, just as it happened to me, the man created by God, and after that I had no longer loved my Lord and I loved my woman instead, the one who had drawn me to her and to my evil and hers too, and the man who does not love God loves sin, and that is why man cannot love God.

Oh, I made You so upset, so miserably, Lord. I feel so sorry for You, because of all the sufferance I brought forth in paradise, and You have been only sufferance from then and up to this day. I have nothing but tears for Your pain and I cannot forget my sin when I see the pain on Your face, on the Holy Spirit, because of what I did. I am full of pain, full of tears, full of longing for the paradise, and I have no other comfort than Your look, sweet, comfortable and merciful to me, who I went wrong so much against You.

Oh, have mercy on those who fell and keep on falling through my fall and through the woman and bring them to the wisdom from above and give it to them, Lord! Wipe out the sin and its taste in man and free him from sin, because I am hurt from my wicked fruit and I do not find any comfort. Oh, I wait, I keep waiting for the great day of the renewal of the world, of the new birth from everything, the day of resurrection, Lord, and then I will get comforted, then when man will no longer sin as I sinned, oh, Lord of my body, soul and spirit. Amen.

I am speaking with You on this day of holy feast, My Father, when You confessed Me from heaven with the voice of My Father, when You said that I am Your beloved Son with Whom You are well pleased, and You told everyone to listen to Me, to listen to Your Son coming down on earth, Father. Oh, release Your Spirit to them and tell them now too that I have come from You, Father. Amen.

— I am telling, My Only Son, I am telling this to Your comfort, I am telling to all the people of today from all over the earth:

Oh, hear, you those on earth! Open your ears and listen to God, the Father, on a day of the feast of the Baptism, of His Son, Jesus Christ. He is My Son from eternity, the One born of Me, the Father, before eternity, and as I am light so He is light from light and true God like the Father, of the same being with the Father, and through Whom, all, all things have been made. He is My messenger on earth, Who became flesh two thousand years ago in the womb of a Virgin and was born and became a Man. He is the One Who was crucified for each man and then He was resurrected for each one of His believers after that. He is the One about Whom it was written to come for the living and for the dead to give each one according to his works and that His kingdom and those who receive it will be without end. He is the One by Whom the Holy Spirit was greatly glorified in His work among the people, and finally, He is the rock of the church and her entire foundation. He is My Son, and I have sent Him again on earth now to build His kingdom and living church at sight, and then through it the life of the age that is to be, everything through the church, as it is written.

Oh, I have told them, Son, Jesus Christ, I have told them that You are My beloved Son, and I have told them as I did two thousand years ago to the Jewish people. Oh, I have told everyone about My mystery with You so that they may come to it if they want. I give them power to become God’s sons if they want, and the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, works, My Son.

Oh, there is much sin on earth, and the sin is only infection all over the earth, and every man is a target for this pain that penetrates the body, the heart and the soul, and it infects the whole body of man’s being, and it kills most of them completely, for I am the One without any sin and I come out completely from the one who is infected by sin and only it remains and man dies because of sin, as I told Adam in paradise that he would die if he had not followed My word, the word of life, and I had also told him not to take from any other word to violate My word with it!

Oh, I would ask and teach all men to be Christians, and I would help them to know the mystery of the one who is Christian, for a Christian according to the truth does not get enchanted with his habit for sin, with anything he may see or hear, and he remains full of life from above, full of God’s commandments in the time of his body on earth, and the one who slips to the poisonous taste of the sinful life, that one has not embraced yet My advice and the Christian life, the Lord’s holy life, for he who embraces it does not need any deception or wasted time outside of My kingdom in him, and he rather looks at everything within a cold mind, and he rejoices only over the heavenly sweetness, and he waits for it as for the love so much waited in his heart, the angelic life in his body.

Oh, man lost from My arm for your pleasures, behold what news I am bringing now to you: when you work with one of your tools in order to build something new or to demolish something to make a new thing and more durable, you try not to hurt yourself with that tool, and therefore, you use it carefully to do the work you need. Oh, in the same way you have to use those that you work with, in the same way you have to work with the tools that can bite of your soul, of God’s work with you. Therefore, pay great attention to the windows and doors, as light and darkness enter man through the door and window, and the man’s things for life or death can enter through all the gates of his senses.

Oh, sons gathered at the voice of My word sprung for you, oh, seek, sons, to feed your souls always and seek to take and to give food, as if you only take, you are called lazy, and laziness is a sin that leads to death, but if you also give, then you are those who are merciful and you will receive mercy as well, for the soul has to eat always, as otherwise God is spoiled with His work of life giving, but choice food is needed, and it does not have to be any kind of food, and not any dead or imposed food.

Oh, I teach you angelic food and I want you to be angels and have an angelic life in your body, for the holy life in man is the angels’ life, oh, sons. Oh, how dear is to My Spirit your coming to the spring, to the food of word from above, sons! You love to come too, but you have to love the angelic life too, the life without sin, as sin is the great infection which can do harm to the man who is sick because of sin. Behold, you have the heaven with its food from above. Take, eat, and try to have the good taste of the life with God, and from those that pass away on earth try no longer to take life for you as everything is fleeting on earth, but behold, I come on earth, and I am the eternal One, and when I come, I come for you. Therefore, be like angels, sons. Amen.

Oh, peace to you on your day of feast, My mother! My condition and yours near the Father and near the saints is a day without evening, mother. We have to watch from above and from below for the work of My word and its course, and for those who carry Me and help Me to carry it. Oh, leave your comfort upon them and upon those who have gathered around them on this great day, and behold a sweet party, and especially the invisible glory, wrapping up within it the visible day and its glory of feast for Us, those who have come to the spring for you from the earth and heaven, oh, My mother. Amen.

— Oh, my prayer for you requires you not to forsake my Son and not to say that it is hard on the way with Him.

The sons of men do not love my Son, Christ, but I ask you too, oh sons of men, do no longer sin. Christs suffers for this and I suffer, too. Have mercy! The Lord is full of longing after you and punishment comes on earth for those who do not obey as sons, as my Son listens and works from the Father for you. Oh, be comforting, be affectionate and gentle, and then you can change in an instant at his sweet voice for you.

I, God, the Father, tell you, sons of world, how to do away with the sin in you and that before you, which seeks after you with enticement to its pleasures that kill man and man’s eternal life with God. Oh, do not give the temporary life on the eternal one, no, because it is expensive the life for the test which stays before any man for the battle of the medal with which man can receive eternity with God, the eternal life. Oh, be nourished with those on heaven in your mind, heart, sight, and hearing and in all your senses, and do no longer nourish them with the things in the world and from the men separated from the Lord for sin. Oh, do no longer take from the earth; do no longer receive from the world. If you want to get away with sin, then think about My Son, Jesus Christ, and not about you, for He died bitterly for the sin in you and resurrected for you to give you heavenly hope. Oh, eat little, eat with propriety from the Lord’s gifts, and not as your body and its hunger asks from you. He who stops eating meat, but eats from the pleasures of the flesh, (Debauchery, r.n.), then one like that eats meat. Oh, teach your body to love life, not death, not emptiness, and teach it to love its eternity, not its temporariness. I, the Father, teach you; listen sons, and keep away from the opportunity of sin, for the lust of the flesh has great power and weakens the alertness of the spirit, there where the spirit watches, and if you keep away from the sin occasion, then you will be able to shun sin, too, because first comes the occasion to sin, and it comes from the devil to stain you with its soot, for it knows that the Lord told man not to be immoral and corrupt, and the devil makes it easy for man to immorality and pleasure for it at every step. Oh, watch to fulfill the words spoken upon you, for otherwise the devil divests you of the fear of God and then he catches you in its hook and draws you from the Lord as those who are disobedient.

Behold, I am telling you a mystery and instruction for it: Man pays much too great attention to how he looks like. What for does he this, really? This makes the devil glad and it makes the Lord suffer to anger because of pain. Oh, sinful man, take care of how the Lord may appear within you, because people and nations need an example of life living, for the people do not know to live their life if they do not see how, if they do not learn after that. And, finally, listen, oh listen to My Son, Jesus Christ; this is what I told you two thousand years ago, too. Oh, listen to Him, listen to the One to Whom the sea and the roaring wind listened, submitted and stood still. Oh, love Christ, for He loves you too, but you also need fear of God to be able to begin the way with the Lord. And why do you need this? Because without the fear of the Lord, man makes an agreement with sin, and he quickly makes an agreement with this pagan enemy of man and of the Lord, for sin takes the man away from the Lord, not matter how small this sin may be.

I, the Father Sabaoth, have spoken to you, those on earth, on a day of the feast of resurrection of My Son, Jesus Christ, and I am giving you power of faith with humility before My word of the Father.

Oh, sons of men, I, John the Baptizer, wake you up to watch and to repentance with watch. There is no more time to ask for land, to want land, for there was a Romanian poet, who called out before the ruling seats of the country, and he called out in the name of his people speaking to those who had high positions: we want land! Oh, those people did not have any land, poor of them, they did not have rights on earth, and those who ruled scorned them and the people, who lack the heaven not the earth, cried in vain; however, I advise you to seek the heaven for the earth, for woe to the earth without heaven on it with the people, woe! Those who do not have in them the heaven on earth do no longer complain about anything. They are good and beautiful and are happy in their troubles, and shortcomings or discontents do not put them down, but the longing after the heaven on earth breaks them and they cannot be overcome, just as I was, without any right on earth among people, and I lived far from people and close to the Lord and to His angels. After I came out to Jordan to prepare the Lord’s appearing, as the heavenly message was upon me, oh, the rulers of my people did not receive me because I announced the Lord, Who was born in Bethlehem, and because I called out to the people to come to repentance and because I went to the king of Israel to correct his immoral stature, I was given to death, and I took over my place and great work in heaven, and today I am the same John, the Baptizer, and I am calling out to the people to ask for the heaven to come on earth and the Lord to pour out the cup of lawlessness upon those who keep on filling it.

And as for you, sons of faith, I am telling you now from heaven: do not be afraid of people, no matter how great and strong they may think they are. Let them be afraid of the mount of law-lessness, to which they have kept building and to you, the faith and its fruit. Oh, the salvation is coming; you need to know that it is coming. It is coming when no one expects. Amen.

Oh, people from everywhere, oh, sons of men, if you do no longer want to be evil or work on earth and on man, then turn back and be born of God, and take on you the sign of your baptism, that is the little shirt, for I, the Lord, told the sons who are carrying Me as word on earth now, and I said: „Fasten, sons, fasten well on you the little shirt of the baptism from above and tighten it with a girdle, for the wind blows and does not cease and you have to be clothed and not naked”, and I ask you with pain after man, teach the people to know from Me and from you what is beautiful and what is not beautiful between earth and heaven.

Oh, I want to put an end to all the danger, all the evil on earth between man and man, among nations so that there may no longer be any evil, for I promised that I would turn the weapons into ploughshares, and the nature of the weapons would listen to God and would no longer do their work planned by the man deceived by pride against another man, and who keeps on making plans upon plans, for My plan is from heaven and goes beyond man, and man does not pass beyond My plan, for I come with the saints on earth; I come with My saints and We will make order on earth, and men will look at the saints and always look and read the saints, as each saint has a past, then each sinner also has one and can have a future, looking at those who have a past from earth to heaven with holiness in them and to be useful to those who are sinful, who do not think to sanctify themselves; however, behold, I put in the men’s mind on the earth to choose a holy future. Man and woman to be holy and for this they do no longer have to love sin, but to love the Lord with their entire being, for the Lord is He Who sees the man’s sin in the time of his sinning, and if he listens to Me, he will do away with sin and with the reward of his sins, as only because of the sins seeded by men on earth there come many evils in the way of the people and fill them with much sufferance and tears.

Oh, sons of men, and you, those who call yourselves God’s sons because you are baptized in the church in the name of the Lord, oh, here it is what I am telling you now: be ashamed to sin. Make a cross, mark your body with the sign of the holy cross and put away your lust for sin, the desire which get you sweetened with the poisonous sin. Put away the lust for sin, the lust for drinking and eating in a sinful way, the lust for smoking and immorality in your own body and the lust for any other sins that come from the devil’s advice, who gives you to get you sweetened with the things he is pleased to see in man in order to pull the man away from God. You will need God’s help, protection and salvation from Him for you. The soldier of old, before whom the temptation in the image of a woman, lustful for the sin committed in the body between her and him, was helped by spirit of the fear of God, and with this power he rejected the sinful moment, fleeing from temptation, and the next day he remained alive among many dead people in the battle who fought against the enemy of his people, and then the Lord showed him how he was to die from the bullets if he were not able to overcome the sin which came into his way, and how that place remained a green patch where he was when the bullets flew all over on the battlefield, but he was saved by the cleanness of his body, which protected him.

Oh, behold, do no longer sin, and be ashamed to commit this sin. Make a cross so that the Lord may help you to escape the snare of sin. The earth has been filled everywhere from the sin in the people and tries to go deeper and deeper with everything it is on it. Oh, leave off sin, ask God for forgiveness, and always repent much lest the wrath for sin may come on earth.

Oh, My dear mother, you have also put much love in men in your time on earth, and you are working likewise today, and you let you mercy come on the earth and upon man, for man does not love Us, mother, even if he always calls Us to take him out from the burden of the mistakes in which he always stays, getting sweetened from them against nature, against God’s law, mother. Oh, I have worked so beautifully, you and I, to become an example of living and love, but people cannot do this, mother. Oh, how you and I showed the women how to be and how they really are, mother! Oh, how are We not supposed to suffer when they seek only after sin and their sweetness with sin, by sweetening the breath on the earth with sin, mother?

Oh, sons of men, listen to My word, as I, the Lord, am teaching you on a day of holy feast. Do not provoke each other to sin and to the lust of sin, as God did not create man for sin with His own hand, with His love. Oh, take the holiness on your bodies and take on little linen shirts so that it may not come out of you the spirit of sin. All the saints are covered in linen clothes, as it is written, and they are not naked as the people on the earth stay, naked before the son, before the Lord, and before His saints. Love those in heaven, those so much alive, to get rid of the love for sin, for sin is death, as it is written; sin is nothing else but death and man gets sweetened from it, and therefore he dies because of this, for it is written that the wages of sin is death.

I am teaching you everything that goodness is. Oh, love it, sons.

Oh, the saints suffer in heaven, because where there is no obedience to God on earth, many get damaged and then they can be hardly repaired after that. On a day of the beginning of churchly and Christian year, the saints are coming to speak over the people about the work of salvation. On this day, My saints celebrate in their midst Simon the Stylite, after his churchly name and according to his work on earth, for he had left his fatherly house as a young boy and made him a place to stay on a building, narrow in width and forty cubits high, always adding to it, first he added six cubits, then six cubits more, then ten and fourteen cubits and more and more up to forty cubits above the world, up there far from the earth of the people, and from there he was sending his prayers higher, and by so doing, he was healing many only by his word, but only after he had brought his prayer before God. More than four hundred years passed since My coming in the flesh on earth by My birth of the Virgin mother, when this disciple of Mine, Simon the Stylite, came to be with his life, who lived more than one hundred years in the world and sought all the time after the way of salvation, which he was asking for it even from his youth, and then he was seen digging for the foundation of a building, and then he got tired and rested, when a heavenly voice spoke to him from above: „Dig, dig deeper and deeper!”. And he dug more and more until he heard a voice with a commandment from above: „Enough! Now build, because without perseverance no one builds anything!”.

When men goes to a big feast, which he desires much and waits for, then he goes breath-lessly, with his heart full of longing and thrill, but when he knows that one day he will stay face to face with the Lord of the days, then man does no longer has any longing and thrill. Behold how much this saint had been thinking at the day when he was to stand before the Lord with his life and with its work! He ascended high, above the world and beyond sin, which entices man on earth, as he looked as the man in the beginning was, how he was enticed to that sin and how came his separation from God, Who keeps all things in His palm. My saints were those who received exhortation from all those clarified by the Scriptures and then they sought to fight for their life with Me among people, as life on earth is hard and it is threatened by sin, because from the beginning of the world the lust of debauchery came on people, the devilish love between man and man, and all this corruption came on earth because the man from the beginning disobeyed God and My saints had been crying much on earth because of this corruption on man, and they had been fighting much against it, and more than that, some of them did not wash all their life, (So that they may not be tempted by women, r.n.), and they had done this to protect themselves from this lust, which stains from man the clean Lord, the Holy Lord, Who has been suffering from man for seven thousand years this black spot between man and God.

Two thousand years ago I said, and I am saying the same thing today: «I desire mercy from man, and no sacrifice». (Matt: 12/7) Oh, I desire mercy from man. Let man have mercy on Me, on My pain from his sin, as I lost man because of his lust for sin. Oh, you lust after sin, man, you always lust, but you have no mercy on Me; you do not remember it in order to work it between you and Me, as I have been mourning for seven thousand years for your sin by which you have been deceiving God and man. Oh, receive exhortation from Me and fight to get rid of sin, for sin always prevails against you, and you do not fight like the saints who have always sought in their time on earth after the way of salvation, the way of the Lord, in which there is holiness and not sin.

Oh, man, if you want to fight and keep away from the sin which lurches everywhere to win you over to its master, of the devil, then take care to walk in the world and through the world, take care you man, who seek after salvation, who run to fight. Oh, if you walk, and especially if you walk among people, around the people, then keep someone always around you to have luck against the sin of immorality because of which man hides in order to commit it. Oh, listen to Me how I teach you, because if you walk alone, the devil gives you work to do; it comes into your way and it gives work to your mind and then to your heart, as it gave to those in the beginning, whom it only tested with respect to the Lord’s will so that the Lord may see what they choose to do; however, they have chosen to disobey Him and drew with it into the darkness and then they hid from God because they felt in them the fruit of disobedience sin, and then they set on earth the lust of immorality, against which My saints have been fighting from age to age, My saints who have punished in their own bodies this human and devilish lust.

Oh, My saints have had fear of God. They became very small when they were relieving themselves after they had eaten. They had fear of God, fear of angels and of men and they were stooping as low as they could and covering themselves and they were not touching their body. Oh, they were not doing as all the other people did, who had not respect of themselves and of the Lord, but My saints guarded themselves with the watch against the lust which flew in the people and they were giving this teaching to one another, and no one knew about this mystery, which they were sharing with one another to be protected from sin by it. The saints were sitting down very low while the other people were getting up and in this way they got used to relieve themselves very ugly on the ground, on the ground that bears all sins and the man’s entire bad conduct with respect to the earth and heaven. There were among saints some who were not washing themselves all their life, only that they might not touch their body, only that they not might see themselves or knew that they were naked before the Lord, and they were fighting, poor of them, they were fighting against the devil, they were fighting against their body and devil, for the devil was fighting against them because they were My saints, My beloved ones, and because I was their Lover, their Master, frightening at view for My great glory, which so many saints wanted to see. Oh, how good they were! How good they were before God, before the invisible One! Oh, where is for Me, where do I see anymore this great care with man against the devil, which opposes the one who has sided with Me on earth?

Oh, behold, man needs grace from the Lord to become holy, to keep living like that and to fight as the saints fought; they fought crying, and those who loved that way had grace. My saints have Simeon the Stylite at the feast in heaven, the one known in history as the first stylite who separated himself from the world going up, above it, and living his life in this way. With eagerness, the saints want to speak over the earth now by the voice of the celebrated one on this day among the saints. May the speaking of My saints be blessed by the one who speaks for the saints, for those in heaven. Amen.

— We are standing before You, Lord, we are standing before You as on earth, and we are standing before You with propriety in heaven as well, for we lived in fear on earth before You, Lord of glory. Your glory is frightening because it is great, Lord, and those who saw it were frightened and lived like that on earth before You and fought so that they might not shade Your glory between them and You, and they tried their hardest and did not separate from You, oh, Lord, not even because of their sins.

I was led by Your Spirit on earth to leave an example among people. I had sought the way of salvation since I was young man, because I did not love the world, oh, I did not love it, Lord, because this was what You wanted to do with me on earth. I did not know where to seek: I did not know how to please You more, up or down. I started to dig and humble myself digging down as a man, and You overshadowed me with Your grace in the time of my hard work and You advised me to dig up, to build what I had dug below and to work with the same effort. Then I went up, after I had built upwards as much as I dug downwards and I remained there with my life, and You overshadowed me and showed me to the people, and those in my time were thrilled when they saw how much I trampled myself down and exalted You in me, good Counselor, merciful Master of my humility. Oh, man has to work very much for his saving life, saving from the flesh and body, oh, Lord. Oh, man works very little for You so that You may give him salvation, too.

You made me an apostle upon people by my life built for You with hard work by my abstinence before You, Lord. Oh, how shall I advise holier the man to receive with much courage and with more fear of good God’s work and for God? You have built man for You and not for him, Lord. However, even from the beginning man has forsaken his destiny for You and has become a slave to the sin in him, stirred up in him by his disobedience to You, Maker of everything, everything that are visible and invisible.

I was the beginning of the holy stylites on earth before men, and I came to You and to the saints once with the beginning of the Christian and spiritual year, on the first day of the first month of the year. (1st September – the beginning of the church year, r.n.) I came as ripe fruit and You set me on Your table with the saints and now I see from heaven on earth together with Your saints, with all those who see together with You from heaven on earth everywhere.

Oh, Your work of today is great, Lord, very great, and the saints are thrilled with its greatness in heaven and on earth. You are so gentle in Your closeness to man when You come and speak with Your voice of today. You are gentle, Lord, gentle concerning Your greatness, seen by Your saints. Oh, how great is Your glory in heaven and on earth, the glory which man would not be able to look at and resist from falling down under it! However, You are so gentle, so good and gentle, and You become so little, although You are so great, oh, Lord, and behold, You have come again on earth as word and speak with man as You spoke in paradise, and let Your word be heard, which man has to obey, Lord.

You, those who want to be with the Lord on earth, be careful to the Lord’s voice and under no circumstances are you to listen to your voice. Oh, do not do like the man in Paradise, who instead of obeying the Lord, he obeyed man, and by so doing men pulled one another from before the Lord and fell down on earth; moreover, it is much to be worked with your life to give it back to the Lord, from Whom you have it as a gift, and for which you owe the Lord. Oh, listen to the Lord’s voice! The Lord is coming as word on earth. He is coming for you. The Lord is coming to save you from darkness and from the dark sin. Let your bodies be holy temples, because the Lord needs rest in you. Struggle for the life in heaven in you and keep on fighting, because life and its price are expensive; the life the Lord has put in man is as expensive as eternity. Get up above the world and above the spirit of the world. It is possible by this will, as the world is only sin. Get comforted within your body with the tools of severity against the man’s enemy, and comfort your spirit by the Lord’s gentle breeze and with His dear gifts. And, in the end, comfort your souls, comfort the Lord in you, the One from Whom you have your life in your body. The man’s body fell from Paradise on earth seven thousand years ago, and on earth there is only war, only front of war against the man’s life from above; however, you, people, be born from above and then you will be from above and you will overcome in war against the enemy’s weapons, for the Lord overcame for you.

I am telling the man that not only by sufferance is the Lord able to clean him from his sin and to prepare a way for his salvation and eternal life, but also by repentance man is able to receive the Lord as his love, as his mercy and forgiveness. That is why I am coming and exhort you to repentance, oh, sons of men. I am coming with My saints and I am calling out to you: Repent! Oh, repent, because the prophet Elijah protected from sword and fire those who had approached him with repentance, but he did not spare those who wanted to seek him deceitfully.

Oh, sons of the earth, not only that the atonement of the sins by man’s repentance brings upon man God’s love and the gift of faith and the work of this gift, but man also becomes the Lord’s helper, just as a little horse becomes its master’s help and carries his burdens and submits to him with obedience in order to teach the man how he is supposed to be with his God, too. Oh, the time with much work of My saints is coming on earth and those who sin will fully see the wrath for sin, and if they have time, they will turn with their life to the Lord, and My saints will make disciples of those who come back from the slavery of sin. Amen.

— At Your today’s table with the saints, Lord, and with the people of Your word, I am looking with zeal over the earth and understand Your mercy You have on people, but You also understand my mercy on You, oh, Lord. In the time of my body on earth You gave me the gift of prophecy and I worked with it over the great and over the little, and I was working with zeal for You and standing on Your side, Lord. I was rebuking the rulers because of their sin, and those who were small and gentle I was making them prophets for You, as my mercy on You was consuming me intensely and I could not get away from this pain anywhere and in no way, the pain which was urging me to punish those who despised You by their sin, trying to forget about the true God and to make idols for themselves to which they wanted to bring their false worship. I was looking with a heart crushed with sorrow to what the woman can do on earth over the great and over the little, and I was saying: Woe to those who commit sexual immorality with women, woe! A flame of fire to sin is kindled in man at the view of woman. I saw the king of the time how he was trying to forsake the Lord. The king took a woman from other people and he played up to her and to her idols, which the king erected to draw the people to idol worshipping, and I was suffering deeply because of this.

Behold, it is one thing when a man lives with a woman, and it is another thing when he goes into sexual immorality with women, woe to those who live in sexual immorality with women, woe! Oh, I burned against this sin and I brought about the punishment over the land during that time. I commanded the rain no longer to come down, and even dew was no longer to be, but only intense heat was to be over the land for three years and a half. I told this to the king perhaps he would try to repent and stop from his iniquity, which departed the people from God. Then I showed them mercy and I released the rain; moreover, I made a visible miracle on the day of the return of the rain on the land.

Oh, I have upset You somehow. Before the approaching of my day in heaven and on earth I had prepared rebuke with great waters over the Romanian land and people, as people get drunk with strong drinks, Lord, and this means idol worshipping and their ongoing departure from God. The taverns and the sin of drunkenness have multiplied and the people intoxicated with drinks carouse. Woe to those who put drinking on their tongue, woe! Drinking means debauchery, Lord. From what should man drink and get intoxicated? The rejoicing of the man’s heart with wine and other drinks, behold, it brings him his reward for it. Oh, man is no longer able to renounce the wine and woman!

I have mercy on You, Lord. I see how much You endure, how much you suffer, Lord, how much You are forgotten and deserted and not loved by man. People commit too much sin, Lord. Oh, I had mercy on You and stood up to punish those who sinned against You and against their lives making You deeply suffer.

Those in this little village wonder where You have established the mound of Your word, for You have spread out Your hand and protected it; You have had mercy and taken care, and people see this glory of Yours. Oh, only if people came to repentance for their sin, Lord! I would like to urge the sons of Your people from the spring to have time and give their mercy to those who are foreign to You with their life, and the time will come for many to be in need of this comfort that Your bring down here.

Oh, I also want to help to the men’s repentance, Lord. I do not want to make You sad, but I have mercy on You when people sin against You and against their life. Oh, Master of life, let men no longer have anything to eat or drink against Your will and against the holiness that You expect to be in men. Woe to those who drink for pleasure! Woe to those who put their hope in wine! Oh, behold what man has done from the fruit of grapes, Lord!

Oh, stop from drinking and from its pleasures, you, sons of the earth! Do no longer walk intoxicated with wine before the Lord! The Lord is coming with His saints and He is working over the earth and over you, the Lord’s saints. Follow after sanctification, submit to the Lord for the wrath for the sin is standing at the doors! I am calling out to you to turn your hearts to the Lord. There is no peace without the Lord. Without Him with you the curse is coming on earth! Behold the Lord as word upon you! Oh, where will you hide from the answer that you have known what the Lord wants and speaks and you have resisted? Oh, come to repentance to get away from the wrath for the sin! Give up satan’s will! Do not give the Lord’s will on satan’s, do not be stiff-necked, son of the earth! Oh, humble yourselves because the Lord is near. Amen.

— I, the Lord, spread My word upon the earth, and whoever know it and does not fulfill it will see. Amen.

Oh, man, your mistake has to be corrected. Your disobedience brought about your fall from heaven, and now we have to go back. You listened to the woman and no longer listened to God. When man is drawn to the woman, it is because the woman is drawn to man because of his disobedience to God and to his obedience to the woman. Oh, come and wake up, man! The little angels between heaven and earth fly and work to help you to give up sinning and to pass from the flesh into the spirit, for your flesh does not serve you at anything but only to your separation from God, man.

Behold, the time of fasting is coming to the man’s help. Fast from sin, oh, sons of men! Fast from your flesh, for the flesh draws the man away from God; it draws him to the things of the flesh. Be calm in your heart and face lest the devil may rejoice over your proud fasting. Be mysterious between you and God, for God gives grace only to those who are humble.

The man built by My hand in the beginning cries; he cries before Me and here it is what he tells Me:

— Lord, Lord, please receive my prayer again for every man, oh, Lord. Let man be good, but help him to be so, for the woman was the man’s fall from paradise, and today it is the same, and man can manage without God, but he cannot manage without his woman as well, for the woman has replaced God in man’s soul. This is what happened to me, and You came into my way and rebuked me because of this, but I became stiff-necked as a reward against me for the sin of my pride, Lord. Oh, the desire for greatness makes man small, but man does not know this but only if someone tells him. My expulsion from paradise happened after I had listened to the woman, after I had had a woman for my soul.

Let man fast from woman, oh, Lord, and the woman has to be wilder, sourer, colder by this, and less, Lord, for the woman appears as being near with all those around her, and the man’s power grows less and less with respect to the grace from above.

Oh, let the woman get used to God and the man will get used to God as well. Let her give to the Lord all her love, and let her not give it to herself or to the man, and the man will do the same; however, help him for this fulfillment, oh Lord.

I have mercy on You, Lord. Oh, how much You have been suffering from my sin, as long as seven thousand years from man to man; so long my sin, Lord! Oh, forgive me, helping the man to remain on Your side, Lord! Oh, forgive me by Your coming alive in man, oh, Lord! Amen.

I am giving a word of blessing for the time of the Lent, that before the feast of My resurrection. With every passing year I live again and again that what I lived and endured two thousand years ago, and I have always refreshed the man’s resurrection over those who have been following Me and doing My will in them, but there are too many those who do not love Me and do not seek after Me with My life in them. I cry for these; I cry at the cross, I cry, and My crucifixion for them is always today. I cry and sigh on the cross; I always cry today for those who do not seek with My cross.
