too; they did not endure with the Lord to the end of the work and they have become your enemies, they despise you using words of blasphemy and they put stains on your foreheads and are not afraid. Oh, if they do not know what to do and if they do not kneel down to ask from the Lord for the clarifying of their minds, then you do this for them, as behold, they try to denigrate you in the mind of those who are weak when it comes to stand fast. You should do this for them and ask the Lord to reveal them that this word which rules is the Lord, and that this word of which all the saints shudder is nothing else. Oh, how well it would be with them to ask from the Lord and not from men to tell them what this word is, which led them for such a long time, as long as they wanted to believe that it came from the Lord on earth. This is my exhortation for those who are so coward, for those who do not know to go to the end for their belief no matter how many trials they may have to undergo for the revelation of their faith, because the faith that is not tested does not bring forth its proof. And I, a servant in heaven near the Lord, pray before the heavenly throne to the Lord to cast out the spirit of unbelief from those who are enslaved by this danger, because great danger works the unbelief of those who deny after they have walked faithfully in their steps near the Lord.

 

Oh, who can answer you better concerning the temptation, which you keep making over the servant people at the altar questioning the truth about this heavenly word? You had better ask the Lord and in your clean and untempting heart tell Him: “Lord we are weak in our faith and we are confused, but we want You to have mercy on us and clarify our walking whether it is good or bad, and we pray to You to show us if we have forsaken You or if You have forsaken us because of our unbelief or doubt that has seized us from one another and with which we have been nourishing ourselves from one another and committed this sin, believing that we make a good service.”

 

And I, a heavenly servant near the Lord, am telling you that it would be easier for you to make it clear yourselves, because it is written for those who are evil and for those who are good: «You will know them after their fruits», and you know that at the unfruitful tree one does not throw anything; however, if you leave aside God’s thinking, then here it is what it happens to you because you commit the sin of denigration against those who pull the yoke and the plough for the Lord, and behold what you do; you get out at the crossroads and find some others that you feed with poison, with unbelief, oh, sons who do not obey God.

 

I, the Lord, rebuke satan to come out with the work of unbelief from those that are weak in their faith and its work; however, if they keep satan by the tail, then this is their reward. Still, you should strengthen Your coming and Your people, oh, Lord, because Your work is great and it has to be guarded, and teach Your people how to keep away and how to stay under Your protection, for they are small under the pressure of those who are strong in their unbelief, and they need protection and they need comfort too, oh, Lord. Amen.

 

— I, the Lord, am overwhelmed with the whole heaven by the affection that I have for you, children of My word. Be faithful and be full of patience to the end, sons, for only those who endure to the end are those who endure for a reward for their patience. I, the Lord, I, and My saints, know well those who denigrate you and strike with unbelief. I would try to quiet them immediately but I cannot match those who do not have wisdom, who believe that they can put the Lord off with fine words. Oh, even if man speaks whatever he may want to speak about himself to pose better by his words or if he tries to appear more righteous than those whom he denigrates before God and people, I, the Lord, keep silent before the words of the man who does not think that I know him better than he knows himself, and so I see, better than his being and its work in every moment, both inside and outside of him. Oh, and if I did like them, if you did like them too, then we would be like them too; however, we have to take after God, oh, sons.

 

Oh, those who left and strike back totally confuse the weak ones, but this confusion is the reward of the man’s dissatisfaction with Me and I am saying now that I do not owe anyone anything, and neither do you, sons who bear the wholly work I have given to you to work for God’s sharing over the earth, and why, really, those who turned back murmur against you after they had been with you and with God, and then they arose complaints, as though you or I may owe them something, or that they may owe us, if it comes to some kind of obligation from one side or the other? The branching formed by those who left and weave lianas over those who freshly fall down, this is bad work. There is someone found who exposes himself or his neighbor and then stains the cheek of the one taken here and there by words so that he may show a cleaner face than the one who is lower in stature than he is. Oh, what a foolish mind, what a foolish womanly mind, oh, what a pity! And I, the Lord, am saying this: on the Christian way the Christian does not have to forget that the sins have to be taken to a worthy confessor, and not just here and there, lest no one may spoil his mind or power from among those who have been touched by this bad work, by the weaknesses of those on the way of the cross and by the trials upon the people who live in the flesh; then the confessor has to be spiritual and he also needs to work spiritually upon man, and no one should get up and speak evil about their fellows and thus stain their face, because this is not theirs because God did not speak that this should be worked in the Christian flock, but rather there is an order left from heaven where the mistakes of those who go wrong are to reach; they have to be presented before God with prayer for their forgiveness and remission, and those around these people do not have to strike against them contemptuously.

 

Oh, how much trouble will have before Me the one who has the bad habit to take his fellow men here and there and denigrate them! Behold, it is not good for the people to expose themselves or others at any place for this will not protect the soul of the one who does this, but on the contrary, it will call this one to a full account because of this bad work. Oh, that is why I have taught you, sons, not to separate two by two to speak, if you have come to be Mine, because this habit is from the world, and it is called bad luck. Behold those who have worked this have gone far and hid like Adam from the face of the Lord, and they do no longer have any power to look into the eyes of those whom they denigrate and take here and there with a bad name put on their face. Oh, if you are any better, then this is what those who are good people do?

 

Oh, you those who think that are so righteous and think that you have the right to stigmatize, see that you may not wake up stigmatizing the Holy Spirit believing that you strike those who wander away and pretend to be God’s Word, as you may say, and about whom you say that they deceived you as some kind of sorcerers, just as the rulers of that time spoke about those they killed because of God’s power in them, in My faithful ones over time. Oh, see that you may not wake up being written by God’s angels together with those who called liars and sorcerers those who worked sings and miracles in My name before the pagans, and when My confessors had no way of escape from their crooks, after those who were not faithful had seen God’s signs done by the faithful ones. I remind this so that it may remain written by the unbelieving bishop from Târgovişte who, for seven years had been fighting against My word and against the sons of the Word, speaking with his mouth a hard word that even if he lost both of his legs he would still not believe that God is this word, and after seven-years of struggle he had no longer his legs at their place for they were removed because he shook the dust off his legs before the citadel of My word, speaking that this place would come to be torn down; however, the place had not been destroyed, and he only harmed himself by his own words, and then he admitted his defeat and was cleansed by sufferance because of his unbelief.

Oh, it may seem that one tries to forget so many great signs by those who have been working this opposition now, who, at that time, were the sons of My citadel here, but they pulled aside and forgot the power of God with respect to this settlement.

 

I have spoken about My pain to those who do not keep their mouth shut, and who have completely lost their garment and are naked, and do not understand their nakedness and the lack of their clothes, and behold, they have no shame to put to shame those who are faithful and inclined to humility and to sweet repentance before Me, as it is good for the Christian to stay and to be.

 

And now I am blessing, oh, I am blessing the journey of those who have come here, at the feast of Epiphany, and I am preparing to meet them. Let there be armies from heaven alongside with them and let them come flying with love, and we will sweetly spend in the citadel of My word and sanctify from here the earth, the air and the man, and all the ways of those who bring much honor to the Lord and to His works for man.

 

Oh, in five days the Jordan is going to come back, as a heavenly sign for the feast of Epiphany, and people do not stop to understand and to be afraid for their wandering without God and without shepherds upon them on earth.

 

Oh, hear, you unfaithful peoples! Hear God’s sign and correct your faith, you those who try to change those that were once set and which speak and confess the time of the holy feasts, for behold, the Jordan is going to come back to show that it is the feast of Epiphany. Amen, amen, I am saying to you: turn back to your fathers; turn back to the faith, to the faith from the fathers, because the unfaithful crowds have been preparing to deceive you and to steal from your bosom the faith and the steadfastness for the faith.
