The Word of God[1] on the second Sunday of the Lent, of the Saint Gregory of Palamas[2]

Oh, My name is great and it is also great My word over this citadel, the Lord’s citadel, and the Lord is praised in the citadel, in His holy mountain, as it is written, a citadel well-founded, a beautiful height, to the joy of the whole earth, the Mount of Zion, a tower of refuge, defended by the Lord, and at which kings will marvel and tremble with birth pains, for the Lord has founded this citadel to shepherd from its midst the nations to the margins of the earth as a merciful One, and behold My word for the protection of God’s kingdom on earth, of the Christian people, well-faithful to God, because as in the time of the prophet Elijah, the sons of the Christian people want to forsake the holy covenant of God’s sons, the ordinances, the prophecies and My yesterday and today’s word, for the Baal of today, like the old one, seeks to strip them of the spirit of the fatherly and ancestral faith, and how can I, the Lord, be able to stay without speaking or rebuking this audacity of the antichrist man? For behold, he uses all of his tricks to put his cursed mark on the bodies, (Apoc: 13/16)[3] even on those who are sealed by baptism through the ancestral church with the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit! However, there are in heaven a great army of saints and confessing martyrs for God and for the right faith, and the antichrist man will fail, the hidden enemy, who sends secret orders over those who do not know him and do not see him from where he works to send on the earth, and even upon My church, his thing against God, his cursed seal, and with it, the whole opposition against God and against God’s sons. (See the selection topic: „The antichrist and the apocalyptic beast”, r.n.)

Oh, this Sunday, the second, is a day of the confessing of the holy faith, when the true church remembers its confessor, the hierarch Gregory of the Thessalonica, the one who stood against the enemies of the faith and showed the strength and the truth upon the church in time of danger against the ancestral faith, left by those who allowed by God to strengthen and to write this letter of encouraging of the Christian flock, and of its fulfillment over My church, for Christ’s church has to strengthen and make better the holy fulfillments, not to spoil or weaken them. It has to exactly the walking left by the saints and fathers, by the revelations from God for a better Christian life and holier and holier, for the revelations from God come to fulfill even better the life and protection of the Christian life, and the victory against its enemies, following day by day the consummation of its mystery, the mystery of Christ’s church, for if anything comes and causes it to wither, to shrink or to cut out of accomplishments, oh, it is from the enemy devil the corruption that comes to knock at the door and to enter, and the way of the Lord must be kept, it must be removed from the midst of the church the wandering which may want to come in, for the times are coming to an end and there must be a better fulfillment of the life of a son of God, oh, for the judgment comes and it begins with God’s house, as it is written, and I, the Lord, am coming to wake up My flock to watch, for the enemy is at the door, ready to come in and to tear My flock so that I may no longer have it whole and that I may not be able to gather it from the thorns and from the today’s wandering. And this is why I keep calling out at the servants at the altars, who stand in My name in front of the Christian flock, for they would be to hear and gather in one spirit if they are not unfit for the service that they have chosen, and then to sound and gather the flock and keep it awake for the coming of the heavenly Master, Who cannot fail to come if it is written to come and graze His flock, to gather it from everywhere where it lies in ignorance and in ways unknown to it, and then to ask her about its works, but also to ask its shepherds whether they have shepherded it, whether they have watched for its life. In addition, this is why, I, the Lord tell them again and again:

Oh, from time to time, take down from you, take off the glittering canonicals, with which you keep adorning yourselves in front of the flock so that it may honor you, and then take the bag with holy words and with the food for the soul, and take the staff of the ancestral faith and go with it and search the life and the fulfillment of Christian of My church. Oh, go from place to place; go with the staff of My mercy of their souls. Leave in order to find the sheep caught in the thistles and drive them back into My fold, as two thousand years ago I said that I want to gather them and make only one flock, only one kind all of it, grazed by only one shepherd, as I said, (John: 10/16)[4] oh, and I ask you to be My workers as I was, and as the hierarch Gregory was, the one remembered today as an example for you, to do what he did for the protection of My church and for the expulsion of the enemies of the Christian dogmas and of the one truth, for this servant watched for truth and rose up in the time of the attack against My church, took out his weapons and made war against the enemies and kept on the side of the Lord the truth and the Christian flock and My church.

Oh, remember that you forgot your duty, that you did not work the grazing of the sheep, and that the sheep got lost more and more, as they have been taken by the wolves as I said that it would happen with them, with My sheep. Oh, remember that you forgot this duty, under which you have entered yourselves, and now, I, the Lord, ask for your fruit, I ask you to give an account for the sheep and for their lives, for I am the Shepherd, the Shepherd with the cross, the poor One of all those on earth, and Who laid His life for the sheep. You have obtained earthly papers, on which you have your names written and the duties of the shepherds of My sheep, and you have diplomas of theologians, oh, and what answer can you give to God the Word, Whose name is written on your diplomas. These diplomas charge you with great duties to God and to the flock over which you sit as shepherds, oh, and what bitterness you will bear on your body and in your spirit for idleness, if you have not worked, if do not work so that the sheep may not perish or if you do not repent from these sins to work then according to the duty that is upon you!

Behold the disciple celebrated today through the church! He burned with a wound, he burned with zeal for the holy work, the work of a disciple of Jesus Christ, and he watched and suffered watching and believing in the victory for the faith, oh, and he overcame against the enemies of My church and grazed My flock like a perfect disciple, like his Teacher, Jesus Christ, and no otherwise.

Oh, did you wander, do you wonder what and how your work regarding My flock, of My church is? Behold, I am asking you, and I am asking you about the flock to give Me an answer for it, and which for a thousand years went away and have kept on going to the sides, (By the separation of the Western Church – the Catholic one, from the Eastern Church, the Orthodox one, r.n.), and then it broke to pieces and has no longer watched or looked back, except with judgment, and it fell into the sin of judgment because it has not got merciful shepherds in front of it to take it out to graze it and to rebuke the wolves and beasts so that they may not come to it and take the sheep from the fold, one by one, and to sell them to the foreigners.

Oh, wake up, oh, wake up at the voice of the Great Shepherd, Who searches His flock and calls you to give an answer!  I am coming to you to sit in a heavenly council. The flock is no longer grazed, it does not work its holiness so that My flock may take after Me, and I said: «They will be like Him!»

Behold, gather yourselves in the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and keep a holy council, for the enemy spirit of the antichrist man, wields his stake to catch under its rattle the sons of My church, those who do not watch and are not watched, and even you, if you do not watch, if you do not wake up to watch against My enemies and of My church.

Oh, seek to understand why I come on earth as word so that you may believe then in My word, in the Word of God, (Apoc: 19/13)[5] lest you may write yourselves with your mouth and hand a sin against the Holy Spirit, with Whom the Lord comes on earth and becomes word, and He comes with the saints as it is written for the Lord to come within His coming[6] (1Thess: 3/13; Jude: 1/14; Apoc: 19/14.), and you remember and watch, lest you may write yourselves before Me with the heavies sin, the sin against the Holy Spirit.

Oh, do not rejoice over your rebellion against the truth of My coming as word on earth during this time. Do not rejoice rebelling and having rest in this way. I, the Lord, Jesus Christ, am the Alpha and the Omega, oh, and if you were Mine, My confessors and disciples, you would know that this word of Shepherd is Me, the Shepherd with the cross, Who laid down His life on the cross for the sheep, I, the Lord, about Whom the Scriptures show that I would come and My name is called the Word of God (Apoc: 19/13) and that the Lord is this word, and everything that is not from God collapses and perishes; however, I, the Lord, have been word on the hearth of the Romanian people for almost seventy years by this river of word who gives life to the people, (See the selection topic: „This word is the river of life”, r.n.) for I am the Shepherd Who gave His life so that the sheep that I shepherd may have life, and you are proud in vain as though you are those who keep the church from this word, which, as it were, is not from God. However,
