                                    The Word of God[1] at the Feast of the Lord’s Birth[2]

It is a feast of birth over the citadel of My word from this little town at the mountain lap, the little town of My miracles with you, sons. Come, get up from your beds and open My book with you and open the gates of the citadel, for the carol singers are coming at My manger of word with you, and only after that your hard work will come to rest, only after this great feast until the next great feast, because the feast of Epiphany is coming after that and we are going to open the gates of the citadel to share from the spring, to work holy water of baptism and to give to those who will come near Me and near you to the memorial of My baptism from John, when I humbled Myself under his hand and he was a perfect disciple, like his Teacher, as it is written.

Oh, sons, how beautiful, oh, how beautiful was last evening, the evening of Christmas Eve, how beautiful! Those from here, from the town, surrounded you with faith and love and by those from the city of Târgovişte as well, by those who love you because you are Mine, and all looked avidly at the plain beauty of the deep root in time of My story with you, story of story, sons. All had their hearts full of you the whole evening, and in this way they left to their work, with small gifts, worked by your hands, so that they may have a memory from here of Me and you, and they will take the news and the story about Me and you and about the mystery of this little town, where you and I have a citadel and have work of citadel, oh, and many will be comforted and will rejoice at the hearing and at the seeing of My party with you during the feasts. Oh, and there will also be some of those who will get upset without any reason, too, but only because of the coldness of their hearts with respect to the faith and to the beauty of the faith and its works, as it happened on the day of the Christmas that was shaken off its place in calendar, (Christmas on the new style - December 25, compared to the real one, on the old style - January 7, see O.S/N.S[3].) when, two weeks ago, you went to the gates of the city to sing carols and send good wishes to the rulers of the city, oh, and those at the head of the church in the Dimboviţa area rose to rebellion and made waves and wanted to strike against the city hall and against you, but they were not wise because they did so, and even more, they incurred contempt on them, because those who are shepherds do not work like that, if they are shepherds at all; on the contrary, behold, they are something else, and their supervisor takes out potatoes from the fire with the hand of others, with the hand of his subjects, oh, and this was not beautiful for them at all.  

However, I go with you with My mystery and I do not stop from My work, and no one can stop it because it is My power, God’s power, Who made the heaven and the earth, sons. Oh, I have sent them word not to worry and I have always told them to be quiet, for you or I do not take nothing from theirs, from what is theirs, no, sons, and they also know that here, with Me and with you on the way, those who do not crucify their works, their weaknesses and their body by self-denial and by the carrying of the cross, cannot come, oh, and neither they nor the people under them hurry to such a sweet life with Me and for Me with them on earth, for people have the life they love and not Me according to the commandments of life.

Therefore it would be well with those who serve at the altars to stay quietly at their jobs and I to go and work what the Father has given to Me to do, and let each one do the work of his father, and also, let each one work with the peace that he chooses; however, you have My peace, sons. 

Oh, peace to you! I give you My peace! Not as the world has its peace, no, sons, but My peace, the walking with the Lord on the way, the walking with the cross, as I walked.

And today, we have guests who are singing carols, and we are inviting them at the table and we are putting on the table bagels and little cakes, apples and sweet bread to the memorial of the sufferance at that time, of My birth on earth, when fourteen thousand infants were slaughtered by the ruler of Israel, king Herod, with the intention to take My life, because he found that a new King was born, a great Savior over the people, and you share little bagels for the children who were slaughtered and sacrificed for My name, for My coming on earth, oh, and they are coming with Me to the feasts as well and stay above with those in heaven at My feast with them, and they have a great place in My Father’s dwelling places, sons!

Now we are welcoming those who have come to sing carols to us, Christians loving of My way with them like you, sons, and they are coming from their cities with their carols.

Oh, glory to God in the highest, and peace and good will to you, sons who are singing carols! Oh, do not forget that you always, always have to be in My image and after My likeness, and that you always have to work much at your likeness to Me, and you need to live your life on earth only for this, if you have chosen the Lord, Who works here by His word the creation of the new man, in His image and after His likeness, and if you live some other kind of life, oh, then this is ugly, sons. And after one day will have passed after this day of the feast of birth, then I, the Lord, am going to put word into the book and feed your hearts even more. Now those in the gates (Gates - those by whom the Lord speaks, the Lord comes as word, r.n.) are weak and we are sharing the hard work for My coming as word over the citadel. 

Oh, and there are many things to be done for the preaching to My citadel with you, sons from the citadel, for I spoke to you at the end of the year, I told you on a day of the feast over the citadel, when I mentioned My trumpet Virginia with her feast (on 14 December - Saint Virginia, the sixth apocalyptic trumpet - see selection topic: „The apocalyptic trumpets”, r.n.), and I told you this: “make haste with sweetness for the days of the Christmas and you will give the news to My citadel with you,” oh, and you saw how I had fulfilled this with you, and how My citadel was given the news, and you also saw how it was done My work and My beauty with you, sons.

I am preparing power for you now, I am giving you strength, I am breathing upon you to strengthen you under the cross and I am coming to you with the saints, after one more day passes, and I am going to set Myself into the book and we are going to feed those who eat of My spring of word, which flows into the citadel out of My mouth, and which you put into its book, the book of My word over the earth.

Oh, peace to you on a day of the feast of My birth on earth, sons! The little angels are singing over the mounds from above over the manger of My word with you, and the saints are getting comforted and multiplying their gifts left upon you to give you help because of My hard work upon you.

Oh, strengthen yourselves for Me, for My walking over the earth, sons. You are on earth the days of My second coming from the Father after man, and the darkness on earth is scared of the day in you, of My light, which guides you and goes through you all over it penetrates, for the light penetrates and My coming to you goes like lightning, (On the Internet, r.n.) sons, as it is written. (See Luke: 17/22-24, Matt: 24/25-27,)[4] (See the selection topic: „As lightning that comes from the east, so is the coming of the Lord”, r.n.)

We are now sitting down before those who are singing carols at the manger of My word for My birth on earth. Oh, share with them little bagels and cakes, apples, and sweet bread, sons. And I am going to give them My birth in them and then am going to exhort and teach them to take care of My birth in them so that they may grow less and that I may grow bigger in them; I, sons, I and not they. I have to grow, I sons. Amen, amen, amen.

[3] Old Style (O.S.) and New Style (N.S.) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Style_and_New_Style_dates) are sometimes used with dates to indicate either whether the start of the Julian year has been adjusted to start on 1 January (N.S.) even though documents written at the time use a different start of year (O.S.), or whether a date conforms to the Julian calendar (O.S.), formerly in use in many countries, rather than the Gregorian (N.S.)

The Church Calendar (in Romania) up to 1924 was the same as that of Nicaea, based on severe apostolic canons, but in 1924, the Scripture of the prophet Daniel was fulfilled: «the people made bold to even change the times», when the primate metropolitan - of that time, Miron Cristea, (Primate metropolitan = (in the past) a title given to the first metropolitan of a country; today it would be equal to that of a patriarch) introduced the Gregorian Calendar (Catholic) as result of a „pan-Orthodox” congress that took place in 1923, in Constantinople. At that congress, the patriarch of that time, Meletie, proposed the acceptance of the „revised” Julian Calendar, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revised_Julian_calendar) which was in accord with the Catholic one for a period up to the year 2800 and „it was allowing that all the feasts to be celebrated at the same time with those of other confessions”.  «… and he shall wear out the saints of the Most High and he shall think to change the times and the law…» (Daniel 7/25), r.n.
