The Word of God[1] on the third Sunday of the Lent, of the Holy Cross. The feast of the forty holy martyrs from Sevasta (Sebaste)[2]

The Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit come and become word on the earth. Amen. Romanian Israel, I am God, and I dwell in heavens, and the heavens declare the glory of God. Amen.

Romanian Israel, and people of the Lord, bow down to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit and live by worshipping before Me, for I am the Lord, Who bowed before you to teach you the work of worship. Worship means love. Without the love of God no one can worship God with his life; no one can dedicate his life into God’s hands, but rather he dedicates his life to God’s adversary, but you, My people nourished by the fruit of My love, worship with all your mind, with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your virtue; worship God, Who Himself taught you the work of worship, by His bowing down for the man.

It is a feast of holy martyrs, and I am coming from heaven, from near My Father, and with the Father, and with the saints and angels and will all the heavenly powers and I give you the spirit of comfort, My people. I am the Lord, and I pass through the gates from heaven to you with the Spirit, the Comforter, that I promised those who worship Me in the Spirit of Truth, as the Father wants to be the worshipping of those who love God. Those who love God are not condemned by sin, for they are loved by the Lord, and have the Spirit, the Comforter, upon them, the One Who proceeds from the Father. Those who love God do not love sin, as the sin condemns the man, but those who are loved by the Lord, love the Lord and become love and worship before the Lord.

I put a heavenly table before you, Israel, and I have those living saints at My table with you, who brought their worship before Me. What does the worship start with? It starts with faith in God, and the love of God is brought forth out of faith, and the work of worship is brought forth out of love, and the man gives himself over to God, as all the saints of the heaven did. Whoever gives himself over to God, that one knows how to worship! Whoever does not give himself over to God in a true way, that one becomes a Pharisee by his worship! 

A multitude of people goes to church, but it does not know what the work of the church is. Oh, My people, oh, My church, oh, little children dedicated to God! The people do not know what church means. I complain as one full of pain without any comfort. The people, who go to church, do not know, they say, what this mystery means. The church is the mystery of God, and the people know nothing about this work, about the mystery of the church. Oh, what a pain on Me, the One deceived by the multitudes of people who say that they go to church! The people do not know what worship means. They know that worshipping God is man making the sign of the holy cross on his body with his right hand. (See the selection topic: „About the graven image and the sign of the cross[3]”, r.n.) The man, who wakes up, washes, dresses and goes to church, does not know more than that, he says. The people do not know that to the church go only they who want to learn to be dedicated to God. Oh, I have no longer a church on the earth, for the priests lie to the people with this name of church and the priests make an earning and nothing else. Crowds of people fell under the hand of the priests who deceive God and people, and the people do not know what worship means. (See the selection topic: „The true church[4]”, r.n.)

Today, the church of the world has it written on it from the saints and from the parents the Sunday’s celebration of the holy cross, the half period of the time of the great feast for the welcome of My crucifixion’s celebration and of My resurrection for the man. Who shall I speak to about the fast? What does the world know about this power? For the fasting has power in man; it is not weakening in man. This is My word written in the Scriptures: «Is this really a fast pleasing to Me, a day for a man to afflict his soul; to bow down his head as a rush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? Is this the day that you call a fast and acceptable day to Me? They look for Me every day because they want to know My ways, as a people who works My righteousness, as a people who turn off from God’s law». Oh, this is not fast, when the man does not eat good food or not to eat it at all; it is not only this that means fast. Fast means the love for God and people. Fast means to have and give all that abounds you, for you have from God and not from you. There are people full of riches and keep fasting days. Oh, the rich who fast this way do not know; no one is to tell them what the fast means. The rich man, who does not fast from the riches, does not reach with his mind the secret of the fast. The rich do not fast, and he does not know this truth. The rich man does not fast and does not know this truth. As the poor does not fast, the same way is with the rich man, but neither of them knows what the secret of the fast means. But who are they who fast? (See the selection topic: „About fasting and almsgiving[5]”, r.n.)

The spirit of God’s wisdom is coming on the earth to teach the people the truth of the words. I am the Lord, and I dwell in the heavens, and the heavens speak about God’s glory; they speak about God’s truth. What are the heavens? The heavens are the saints who lived and live worshipping God. Who are those that fast? They are those that dedicate their life to God, to the saints and to those like Him. They who dedicate their lives to God and to those that are pleased to God, are the people who fulfill God’s Scriptures and God’s wills, between the heaven and the earth, and they work the mystery of the work of the fasting.

Who has to fast? The one who does not fast, that one needs to fast. What does it mean that the man should fast? The man who does not fast is the man who violates God’s commandments, and not the man who eats. The one who violates God’s will in him, that one may not eat as long as he wants not to eat, but I tell to such a man that he does not know what fasting is.

What does it mean a man who fasts? That one does God’s good in his body; that one puts this good before the people to be seen for making wise many who want to learn the mystery of the church, the mystery of Jesus Christ, the bread of the godly man; that one shares his bread with the one hungry of bread, for there is no greater compassion between heaven and earth as then when you teach and make a man to get used to eating bread from heaven, for this is what I said: «I am the bread which is coming down from heaven to the life of the people». Amen.

Truly, truly I speak to you, Israel: the poor and the rich do not fast. The people do not know the truth of these words, poor and rich; for according to the human mind, the poor is the one who does not have, and the rich is the one who has everything. But according to the godly mind, the poor is the one who does not want to have those that are useful to the soul, to have God as wealth, glory, joy and contentment, and the rich one is he who has from God to give to those without earthly worries and who cares for the heavenly ones for him and for the people that worship God. When you do not have and do not eat, this does not mean that you fast. When you do not want to have, this it means fasting from those that are and are not for the everlasting life. Behold what fasting is: when you have everything and you do not use them, but rather you manage them for those who serve God and the saints of God, that means worshipping God and fasting for God, fasting for those who fast, and sacrificing for those who fast, not for the poor who do not eat because they do not have and who would eat everything and would do everything if they had, like the sinful world. My poor ones are others than the poor of the earth. The poor of the heaven are one thing and the poor of the earth are another thing. The rich people of the heaven are one thing, and the rich people of the earth are another thing.

Oh, My people, the people do not know the truth of the words. The spirit of wisdom of God is coming; it is coming from heaven on to the earth to teach the people the truth of the words. Not the one who fasts from food is a fasting and humble man before Me. The humble man of God, the fasting man, is the man who worships Me with his mind, with his heart, with his soul and with his virtue, loving God with these of his.

Oh, sons of the garden of My word, who are a gate for Me between heaven and earth! Discern well the mysteries of these words, so that the Israel may teach from Me through you, as these words are deep, and Israel gets confused by them. Worshipping God is a great mystery. Let the man bow before God and stay like this under God’s will and let him stay this way in love, not only with humbleness, as the true humbleness is the love of God. Amen.

The forty saints, who are celebrated today in heaven and on earth, were true God’s worshippers, and the true ones are alive and they are. Worship starts with faith in God, the One preached by the saints, and the love of God comes out of faith, and the work of worship is being done out of love, and the man gives himself over to God, as all the saints did. He, who gives himself over to God, that one is taught by God to worship God with his life. Amen. He who does not truly give himself over to God then, when he gives himself over, he is a Pharisee through his worship.

Oh, little children carried by the arms of My comforts, always learn the work of worship in a true way. Learn so that you may be teachers by your worship before Me. I have always
