It is I, watchmen sons. Peace to you, oh, sons! Open the book and set in it My word, My heavy longing which brings Me to you upon the earth, for I have upon the earth those who feed on the glory of My word and who wait for Me to come on days of celebration in the garden with the word so as to give them counsel of life and a spirit of comfort; and on this day I have at the table of word My trumpet, Virginia, carried by the hosts of saints for the memory of her day of birth among men upon the earth more than a hundred years ago, oh, and that day was the Sunday of all saints; and behold, now, on a day of celebration for her, the saints carry her and all rejoice for her and for Me, for her coming into the world brought the preparation for Me to come as word upon the earth and to make of her the trumpet of My word out of which to blow with My Spirit, the spirit from the making of the world hovering above the waters and speaking for the making of the seen things of God; and behold, again at the end of time it is written for the Spirit of God to come, for Me to come and to speak as in the beginning, and for the word of the making anew to be written upon the earth, a new heaven and a new earth and a new man, all things new, as it is written; oh, and peace between Me and you on this great day, sons, a day of the patronal feast, for My trumpet is written over the citadel as patroness from heaven; and this citadel is the fulfilment of My word through My trumpet from My time with her upon the earth; and all the saints live in heaven this joy of the building of this citadel and of all its pearls round about, now and further on; and it shall be heard far away that in Romania God has a dwelling of coming and a citadel and a people who carry God and the works of God upon the earth in this time of the end and of the beginning of time; and come, let us set in the book the word of this feast, oh, sons!
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, under this seal of the name of God stands My whole word, the word of the Son of God, the Word from the beginning of time and the One from the end of time.
This day is a great day, and so is also My word of this day, sons. We have a few little hearts come beside you in the citadel at the feast of My trumpet, and I comprise you all in one bunch and I set you in the spirit of holy joy, beside those from heaven who rejoice now abundantly, for this Sunday of all saints is their day of celebration, oh, sons. Those from heaven share out the joy of this day, and the joy which is shared out grows and keeps growing; and behold, the joy which is not shared out is very small and has no way to grow; but when it, however small, is shared out, it is great, it is much and it comprises within it many; for behold, many wait to find My word and they look on the way for it to come to them too, and therefore the teaching of today is rich and has resurrection within it and sets right the steps of many on the way which is with pleasure for Me, the way of those who love the Lord with their fulfilment.
Therefore, each one needs the other on the way with Christ of the Christian man, and the brothers must grow accustomed to be one for the other for their spiritual things; but for the earthly and human and bodily things, oh, let them forget all of them with all their cares and their words, for at holy meetings they must represent the cherubim and the seraphim and must bring glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit and heavenly love between them and those from heaven; and let them leave aside all the other cares, as they sing at the holy liturgies; and behold why a table of word is always needed, always a spending of time with heaven and as in heaven upon the earth among the Christians who are truly Christians, for otherwise they are so only with the name, but not also with their living together with those from heaven at the feasts and the brotherly meetings; and this counsel must not be set aside, and it must always be recalled so that it may not be changed for other customs on days of gatherings and meetings between brothers; and this longing for those upon the earth who are brothers of faith and of the way grows more and more in heaven, for upon the earth there is the spirit of the world and its temptings with its seeking after those who choose themselves for God, and it seeks them so as to make them forget Me and the cross and so that they may take from the world and so that the Christian may stay in the world with his mind and with his behaviour; and therefore heavenly joys great enough are needed, sons, for I want to be of help to those who choose with Me the way of their life toward heaven; but the sons of the world have another aim if they do not want to hear and to seek with their steps toward heaven, toward paradise, oh, and they cut out for themselves that which shall not be of use to them and which they shall not like when they find their gain, the gain which is toward their pain at the end of their walking.
Now I remind you that much spirit of humility is needed, sons who feed on the things from Me; and humility is only with those who do not forget the work of love in all the time. Without humility working with love the Christian does not reach Me, and he falls from the way sooner or later, since he does not have the humility of working, and he has a spirit of his own and has the habit of treading over the power of the working faith, which is seen through the work of love.
Every man needs the other, for man is weak; and behold, not even the kings are powerful, since they need servants and subjects. Can someone be a king without subjects? Oh, no, for each one has weaknesses and needs humility; and therefore I, the Lord, full of mercy for man, seek to heal him as the doctor works with the sick one and gives him medicines suited to his weakness and writes him a regimen from foods of every sort; and the sick one follows the doctor's counsel; and behold, I too, knowing how sick man is and the soul within him, give him medicines and write him a regimen if he comes to ask Me for healing; and I teach him what to eat and what not to eat and I tell him what to keep and what not, oh, and I teach him everything for the healing of his soul and of his body afterwards, for the sicknesses come from man's disobedience of God; and the disobedient one needs a cross, he needs it for humility.
Oh, Christian sons, behold what I teach you. Do not complain about the cross, it is not beautiful, sons! Do not go about complaining that you are sick, for woe to the healthy one! With what, indeed, can man still cleanse his sins?
Oh, do not seek to give others your cross to carry it for you, for each one has his own cross, and every man is frail; do not forget this, sons! Men give lists of names and paid prayers to the priests for healing of weaknesses or so that things may go well for them or so that their enemies may be tamed. Oh, sons, the priests too have their sins, their cross to carry. Behold a mistaken custom. All men seek that God may work wonders for them, for their healing, for all know that I, the Lord, worked many healings two thousand years ago and many powerless ones kept My way so that I might heal them. Oh, but I did not work so in order to heal them, but for the unbelieving ones who did not give themselves to believe. I worked through word, not with medicines or remedies, so as to heal the powerless ones. All that I worked in the midst of men was asked of Me by them, and I bowed down and served them with My power which is from the Father through word; and they gathered from everywhere and asked Me for healing; and the more men discovered Me and knew Me and believed, the more the great ones of that time gave themselves to destroy Me and feared that they would lose their power over men; and behold why they kept their unbelief before My power working through word; and behold how mindless they were, poor of them, and so powerless and fearful, poor little ones.
Oh, sons, do not seek to believe through wonders come from God, for the wonders are for the unbelieving ones. Carry your cross with patience and with love, for each one has his own things to carry, just as I, the Lord, carried Mine and those of My own like a man struck down from everywhere, without complaining, for I knew how great the payment of the suffering is; and I did not flee from pains and I did not murmur and I was not grieved because of them.
Oh, how easily the Christian casts off the cross, his beauty as a Christian, his greatness which is from God, his power from above, sons! Man binds his life to Me when he comes upon the light which draws him to Me after he knows Me, and then he follows Me; and he can do this through My grace over him together with the gift of the working faith within him; and then he goes away from Me and he is not afraid to do this. Oh, so did the people of Israel do when it passed through the world and set itself to shorten the adornment of the head and of the manly face and disfigured its greatness which is from God, the manly beauty, oh, and how ugly is the man without adornment, how ugly! Behold, so it happens with the one who forsakes Me and loses his power and loses his grace and then denies God for a disfigured face without beauty, without the greatness which is through God's making of man.
Oh, Christian son, how is it that you forget so easily the stature of a son of God? Behold, you do what you want with yourself, you do according to your mind. Oh, what, indeed, do you want to do with yourself? What way do you give yourself to choose among the sons of the world, after you have had the lot to know My coming as word upon the earth? You were to bring fruit so that the Lord might prepare you a place in heaven, and by no means to dry up day after day and no longer to bear fruit and then to be cut down like the fig tree without fruit.
Oh, Christian son, what is your tongue doing? Do you ask yourself, indeed? In what tongue do you still speak after you spoil your stature which is for a good example before those without a path or a holy step?
Behold how the stumbling comes! The Christian changes his spoken tongue after he forsakes Me, and then he too does as the people of Israel did, which separated itself from Me for sin and despised Moses, and this because of the sickening of their mind and of their heart.
Oh, sons, oh, obedient or disobedient sons, what, indeed, would it have been if the animals and the birds had had a tongue for speaking? They only weep or cry out or ask, and they have no tongue with which to speak words. But man has a tongue, and with it he sins much and becomes haughty much and defends himself from guilt and blasphemes and gossips and strikes his neighbour with judging. With this little speaking member which moves in his mouth man procures for himself an answer so heavy that his mind cannot believe it, for it seems to him that no one knows about him, but only he with his inner things.
Behold those who have left from the people of My word; they now hold loudly and strongly to abolishing the truth of My word since the life asked by Me of the sons of this people no longer suited them, oh, and they gave themselves over to the side of unbelief and chose the separation from Me.
Sons, sons, how are we to behave with these, who have left toward unbelief? Behold a question! I see them behaving in garments of fire, I see how they have hacked at their face and their hair and have made themselves twice as ugly, oh, and I cannot heal them of the unfulfilments of My word, which they tread upon without regrets, for they have put off from upon them My will which is for the sons of the people of My word, and they draw toward the sons of the world and are in danger all the time, for they know from Me, but they no longer want to follow the things asked from heaven and for them, since they knew My coming and believed Me coming.
Oh, I wanted man to long for Me, and therefore I hid Myself in the Father after I overcame death through the resurrection. I have the pained longing from those without a longing for Me within them; and I took My trumpet and I went to the Father so that those might long for Me who carry Me in their heart when I come as word so as to give Myself and to be carried by the Christian with the lowliness and with the heart within him.
I am cold and I long without man, but he does not carry Me within him and with him. Oh, no one can say that it is not with him that I speak My spoken word. I long that each one may long for Me. If I had remained seen all the time, what, indeed, would it have been? Man has no humility, sons, and therefore I stay covered from his eyes and the emptiness within him pains Me.
Oh, My trumpet, oh, My Virginia, your longing is this: for Me to teach them always. So I worked today too in the memory of the feast which is for you among those from heaven and in My citadel, here. We stand above, and our look is among them, and likewise our longing to see them alive and working for their walking with heaven. The comfort which I gave you today is My counsel over them; but behold, give to them you too, My precious one, and bow down to obey Me.
— I take, Lord, from Your things so as to give to them, for I live within You now as do all Your saints. I give them the gift of giving. I would want them to be givers abundantly and all the time and more and more, for the giving has a restlessness in its working, and especially when the one who has the gift of giving is a Christian.
Oh, give yourselves with great joy, sons, for the joy grows only if it is given. I long for all that is here, and I long for you always in heaven; and we feed on longing, all the time only on longing, we, those from heaven. It is not much longer and we shall finish with the longing, for a great time is coming for those who are written great with the Lord. Therefore be great and great enough for the time which is coming, and which does not come for those little with the heart and with the longing and with the giving, for the choosing shall be made, as it is written to be fulfilled.
Oh, seek to work much and many things and all the Lord's things, for the time has grown short and there are still many things to be set, so that they may then be. Only a great heart is what you need, for it can do more than the body which carries it; and otherwise the body is powerless as is also the powerless heart, so little is it and unable to contain the Lord and His works and longings.
I soothe myself of longing speaking to you now. Know that it pains me in heaven because of those who want themselves the Lord's, but they are so little and so useless before the time which is and which is coming; and therefore humility is needed so that the grace from above may come, sons.
I urge you to live a spiritual life, not an earthly one, not a bodily one, not a human one, no, sons, no, for the Lord dwells in you through your spiritual things; and therefore seek to make Him room within you and among you, but do not forget humility, sons, for how beautiful are those who know what humility is and what it does, working with it over themselves and proving themselves with its working around them through their behaviour within and without.
I love you according to the love which you carry within you, and therefore seek to be loved according to merit, sons, according to the steps of the love for those beloved with God. Love is that which builds you in God, and God in you; and I, Lord, comprise them in Your love and I beg You, give them power to be and to be able, but give to them, oh, Lord.
— Oh, I give to them, Virginia, I give to them always, only let them have the restlessness of their giving, for the time waits for them, oh, and only them do we still have now; and therefore, sons, do not let the time pass empty and unworking. Put in it the works of the Lord and write upon its pages day after day My walking with you, for many things hasten to show themselves into sight, oh, and again I urge you, be great under My great name over you, and which, behold, on this day too I set now again and again over you, again and again, oh, sons.
I am Jesus Christ, The Word of God. I am He Who speaks with you. Amen, amen, amen.
