The Word of God about fasting and almsgiving - Lord Jesus (which ebook reader .TXT) 📗

would no longer need anything; it would stay watching until it would see Me coming. I am He, Who spread out My hands on the cross. I am in the Spirit. The fasting was My food most of the time. Who knew when I went hungry? I had crowds of people that followed Me even on the highest mountain. If I did not eat for a week, they did not eat either. How much I would like to have such a people now!

… Do not give for mercy to the drunkards, fornicators, smokers, and to those who blaspheme God by iniquities. Give mercy also to those from the world, but only to those who also listen and receive the Word of God now and again.

The primitive man is the man that has not got God. If this word is true, behold, this is the meaning of the word primitive, as it is true the little story on earth about Me, the Lord, Who was a family man with a Christian and humble family, and this little story is not a parable, but it is a godly truth among the people, and only its example remained. I was the family man of the Christian family and I had a shelter in the house of the man, and it is said that there was a family of people that loved God. A man had a wife and two little children, and they were living very happily loving God. They built a little house, a shelter for bad weather, and they got into it and were living happily from day to day. They had a wooden bed on one side of the little house, and all were resting in it. They also made a little stove of clay to make fire in a cold weather, and they also has a little dish hanging on a nail, and they were taking it down and putting on it the little polenta and drinking and whatever else they had from God’s gift. And they were gathering around the dish kneeling down and all were dipping their morsel into the dish leaning for each bite. They were sitting at the table and getting up with prayer and with thankfulness, and then they were taking the little dish to hang it on the nail, and they were speaking about God and with God, and God was with them on the earth. And I became man and I went into their house to be their family man, and they received Me, and I slept with them and ate with them, and I rejoiced over them with the Spirit of God into their house and in their living. And there came a bad weather over their house, over their heart. The evil spirit did not rejoice over My marriage with them and plotted a temptation and took Me out from their house, as one day a rich man from their village knocked at their door and asked him to go and help him with his work, saying that he would pay him for his help. And he, a gentle man, went to help the one who asked him, and then he saw how the rich man lived and what he had into his house. And when he finished his work, he took his pay and went home and told what he saw at the rich man, and he went with the money and bought a better bed, more beautiful and softer, and replaced their bad from the house with it. When I saw the warmth of their heart for the good and new bed, I felt deprived of their love and I was shy, and I did not go to bed with them, because they had another joy. I stood by their new bed and they cuddled against each other and rejoiced, and they said that God helped them. And then he went again and worked and bought a bigger and more elegant table and put it into the midst of the house, and I drew Myself aside. Then they also brought tools and other things and their house was filled out, and I withdrew near the door. They asked Me saying: „Lord, why do You not sit on the bed, on the chair, on the chest? Why do You stand by the door?” And I replied them that I did not have any place, and that is why I did not sit down. Their joy increased for what they had and gathered. They worked and did what they liked, and I went out aggrieved, and I had no more room as a family man into their marriage. They did not feel My pain, and they kept saying: „Lord, we thank You because You helped us and You gave us so many things to have”. I let them choose their love, and they chose the self-love. From then on I had been so small into their hearts, smaller and smaller, and they used Me only for their first custom to thank the Lord for everything. This is how the man remains orphan of God. This is how the man remains alone in his spirit, getting his human courage up, losing the fear of God and the love of God, the most valued wealth among riches.

 

Oh, My people, how beautiful it was for the man that gathered together near his small table, on his knees around it. The man was like a bird, which lifts up its head after it swallows the water, thanking God. The man was bowing down with his body, kneeling down for each bite, thanking to the One Who gave it for living. The man kept his little dish on the nail, as a sign of respect for the holy thing, as the dish was a holy object, on which the man broke the bread and put the food from God. That man was not a primitive man, and he was a holy man, and he had God as wealth, and he was rich in grace and word. But no one has God today by grace any longer. There is no more room in the house of the man for God. That is why I brought you up, new Israel, and I taught you to turn back to Me and to take Me into your house and into your life, and to take Me into your garment to warm Me up, as I love you so much, you that have Me today. Seek, My people, to work what I worked, and not to work what the man works, as the man, you saw what I told you, does one thing for himself today, tomorrow he does another, and he forgets what he has to know and to do.

Behold, if you are close to a well, I come. Oh, how many of you wait for Me near the well! I come sons; I come to speak with you and to tell you how to speak with you, how to work for Me and into Me, as the Christian people starts now the time of the fasting for the celebration of the Lord’s Passover; but even the human race knows this order. Do not wonder about those that I speak with you, Israel, as the Christian people is one nation, and the human race is another nation, and I do not have to clarify you this wisdom any more. But I speak to you distinctly, Israel, and I call you remnant, son, a remnant set aside by Me from the Christian people, as even the people who are called Christian do not fast any longer, son, not even according to the law. And here is what I tell you: may the beginning of the preparation of the Lord’s Passover be blessed, as I have nothing to distinguish for you concerning food, as you eat today as in the Passover day, because you know what Passover means according to its real word. Your Passover is God’s Lamb, Who washed you of your sins, and Who became bread and wine for you, to have Him into you, until His appearance in the clouds, until the great union of the heaven with the earth, son.

 

The human race gets up today early in the morning and roasts meats, mixes drinks and prepares festivities for oneself with human honor, and this is called: „the festivity of the Shrove Sunday”[4] a name after the custom of the Christian people, as man says, and he goes on celebrating and eating until the Lord’s Passover, as if the Lord would be an idol and not true and holy God. (See the selection topic: „What defiles a man, what enters or what comes out of him?[5]”, r.n.)

 

The Christian people still has something left from the Christian’s custom, but it does not know what fasting means. Israel, you know from Me what fasting means, because you are a remnant chosen and prepared by Me and well kneaded to know how to grow up in a Christian way for the Lord’s Passover. I remind you how I told you: „Eat wheat, son, and the man will thank you from everlasting to everlasting”. What fasting have I established upon you, My people? I established a fasting for those that are evil, for those that are forbidden by the law of God’s commandments, to start with you the salvation of the Christian people, which will get up like you, to stand before Me. I established the law of obedience on you, My people, the law that I establish on the man that I created in the beginning. What I gave him to eat, I also asked you to eat, and I also told you to eat wheat, son, so that the man may thank you from everlasting to everlasting. Put, sons, the wheat grain into water; put it in a bath and wash and soak it, and prepare it for three days with rain of water over it, with water to its measure, and on the third day you should have it and eat it, and this way you should always have to prepare the wheat for three days beforehand and to add it to those blessed by Me in the beginning so that the man may eat.

 

Oh, little remnant, taken out of the Christian people, out of the Romanians! I have put the law of obedience over you, My people, and I have been teaching you from your beginning of forty years ago, to have the sign of obedience on your head, but not like the Jews, as the Jews were wearing it and still wear it on their head but without fruit of obedience. The sign of obedience is the shelter, which covers your head, Christian, son, the sign of obedience, sons, so that all who see you may know that you have a Master, that you have God as your father. He, who walks with his head uncovered, is his own master; that one has not got the sign of submission, and he is not known that he is a son of God if someone sees him. I spoke even for the angels; I said that the head must be covered because of the angels. How comes that, sons? Here is how: the angels do not have their own free will, and I told you this work, but the man has his own free will, as this is how God made him. But the man, who has his head covered, that one is a Christian submitted
