                        The Word of God[1] on the Sunday of the Orthodoxy[2]

This word is being written in heaven and on earth at the same time in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit; the angels write it in heaven and those, in the citadel of My word into the midst of the Romanian people, write it on earth when I, God, the Word, the Son of the Father, release My voice and let Myself be heard so that My word may be put into its book and then to be shared to those who are nourished by it and to those to whom I announce Myself by the word.

It is a day of Sunday, the first day of the week, the first Sunday of the Lent, when in the Christian dwelling places the feast of the right faith is remembered, the Sunday of the Orthodoxy, and when the epistle of a bishop is read, and after that financial support is collected from those who are gathered, who give from their surplus, according to the custom.

I am also writing a heavenly epistle and I am leaving it on earth, and by it I am reminding of the time of the first Christians, the golden time of the church and of the Christian faith, when My disciples were also gathering on the first day of the week; they were collecting aid, they were collecting goods for the holy people and that was called the aid collection for the saints, for those who were leaving the way of the world and following the way of the cross through great shortcomings and persecutions from those who were unfaithful in Israel; when the flame of the preaching of the faith was stirring up, and the first Christians were growing others near them and in this way they were multiplying in the body of Christ being helped by the sign of the Holy Spirit and then through baptism, and the holy work was seen being accomplished from God on earth among the people by the holy disciples, the affliction upon those with the cross was increasing everywhere, and the little flock was taking after Me, for it had no longer fear and it was overcoming the world like its Shepherd, Who went to the death on the cross for the salvation of the man fallen through sin, oh, and this entire churchly work had been the kingdom of the heavens on earth, the true love of the man full of longing after God in him, and this is the great mystery, it is the little flock, to which, I, the Lord, have been telling and exhorting it: «Do not be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom, to show It on earth with Its life from above!» (See also Luke: 12/32)

Oh, even from that time I have been preaching that there has been a big flock and a little one, and on this day I am writing a heavenly epistle and setting it down on earth to be searched and to be preached from one another over many people, who need God and from God, even if they do not have this longing in them or seeking after the Lord.

I am calling the big flock under the voice of My word to shepherd it as I shepherd the little flock, so little in all the times in the body of the big flock that was divided in two one thousand years ago, a bigger part and a little one, and while the little one (The Orthodox churches, r.n.) has remained steadfast for faithfulness and patience on the cross, the bigger one, separated itself (In 1054, r.n.) and stepped aside for an order after its pleasure and it called itself the Catholic flock, and then it was divided in many other flocks and each one has made its own ordinance, because obedience is hard to put at work by those who have desires, which they cannot control, and rather are controlled by them and then they head towards them carelessly, and besides this, they want God to be their Lord, as well.   

Oh, and the little flock remained one thousand years ago on the side of My church from the beginning, over which holy orders and ordinances were set and which in time has been called the flock of the right faith, the Orthodox flock. Oh, even from the beginning of the building of My church the watch over it has been increasing for unity, for whenever someone among the brothers has appeared to make trouble and stand against the teaching received from Me and from My disciples had left down from one to another, who were the believers of the beginning of the Christian people, oh, and someone like that who was working division had to be removed from the Christian flock, for those who bring division do not serve Christ but their bellies instead, and they use smooth and deceiving talks to deceive the hearts of those who are credulous, as it is written, and those who were obedient to the holy tradition, were strengthened more and more on the way, to be wise for good and to be foolish for evil, and under whose feet satan was crushed, and they were victorious by grace.

Oh, pay attention, pay attention to My voice, you flock that wrote yourself on the side of the right faith with your stay of service and submission in the name of the Orthodox flock! I am the Bishop of My church and each bishop speaks on this day over his church. Oh, make room for Me to speak to you and to hear Me as today I am letting Myself be heard and shared to those who have ears to hear, for behold, the little flock has always been and it still is in your flock, and much sufferance came and comes up into heaven because of this, that is because of the faction among brothers, for the flock, Orthodox by its name, has departed from the obedience to the fathers, set from the beginning over My church, (See the selection topic: „The true church”, r.n.) in whose midst the Holy Spirit was revealing and setting the laws of the holy life for the Christians and all the other orders over all the things of the church, and in this way the few, who were remaining in love and in the obedience to the holy fathers, were persecuted from the midst after that, and this has been all the times, besides the persecution that arose against the flock on behalf of the pagan kings who worshipped the idols one after the other, and who brought to martyrdom those who were examples of steadfast faith and union with Christ.

Oh, but I do not write the pagan kings in My epistle on this Sunday, because I am going to write about the hostile pressure in the midst of the church ministering at the altar against those who were examples of the sacrificing faith in the flock, for the priests and their rulers hated those who had grace among them and gave them over into the hand of the rulers of the area to be tormented and martyred, and they plotted with satanic craftiness, and the spirit of faction has always been into your midst working to destroy those who have been strong within their faith and holy orders, oh, Orthodox flock, and those were given to shame and to concocted blame with the spirit of envy by those who were less obedient to the fathers and saints, and who were only dressed on the outside with the robe for the saints, oh those that have been so much dishonored and given over to sufferance and mockery unjustly; however, they have been My little flock into your midst in all the time and for which I, the Lord said: «Do not be afraid, little flock!»

Oh, I am Who I am, the One Who was and Who comes, and I see everything ahead of time, and that is why two thousand years ago, I spoke for those who would suffer in My name: «Do not be afraid, little flock!» And am saying this to you as well, oh Orthodox flock, I am not telling you this to make you suffer but to be holy for the Lord, for how can a man be holy, if not by his repentance for everything he has done wrong against God in his life as a man? Oh, repentance can make holy in one instance the one who has gone through pains, who has used to care and felt remorse, with prayer for everything he has sinned against God and against his fellowmen.

Oh, you need repentance because I want to call you My beloved flock, the flock of the right faith, and I want your life to be righteous and holy, too. Those who suffered and suffer denigration for the faith working with grace, those are like Me and I see Myself in them, in their sufferance like that of Mine, and they see Me suffering and waiting with longing for the renewal, for the new birth of the world, and they are like Me and suffer as well.  

Oh, I want you to be the church of love, the love full of holiness, the love of the bridegroom, and I want you to know and not forget that I, the Lord, wait for you to be My bride, and you know what a bride is, and you do not know this as the world knows. The world does not know the mystery of the bride, it does not know how to wear the white wedding dress but it knows only how to defile it and that is all; however, you have My name written on your head, and you have to take after Me and follow Me, for I miss to see you walking in My steps with holy obedience, oh, Christian flock of the Romanian people.

Oh, Romanian people, oh, people blessed by My word among the nations, do not deny the One Who has been speaking into your midst for more than sixty years the mystery of His coming in the work of word over the earth to level and clean His way, to prepare His bride in you and the day of His glory and victory against satan, God’s enemy and man’s enemy, too. I am writing to you a holy epistle, I am exhorting you to stand watch, and I am saying you now: oh, do not forget, do not forget the Lord, your God, and do not forget Me, Romanian people! I do not forget you, I cannot forget you, for My Father has promised you to Me to be the country of My coming in the end of the time, a place of stopover for God’s Son, so that He may come for the living and for the dead, as it is written, for the people of Israel denied Me two thousand years ago, and I have still remained with some of the witness disciples for Me from it, who, like Me, were also killed by them, and Father has meant you to have a holy destiny and to be My country in the end of the time, and behold, I am sending you an epistle and asking you to have faithfulness, and I am also asking you to get up for the work of peace  and wisdom that perceives all the evil in your midst to put it away
