The Word of God 1 at the feast of the Lord’s Entrance into Jerusalem 2
I knock that the gates between heaven and earth. I am the Lord, and the Lord is One, and
He is called the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen. I have been working this way from
everlasting to everlasting; I have been coming through the gates into the church, into the place
where many have gathered together into My holy name. I have been working through the gates
over any condition on the earth, pleasant or not pleasant to Me. But does the man really know
what this gate between heaven and earth is? He does not know; he does not know that it is, but
it really is, from everlasting to everlasting. The man who is prepared by Me to call and to choose
him and to make him sure that God is and that He works through the gates, the man who is
committed to Me through My power, this is called the gate between heaven and earth. Amen,
amen, amen.
I knock at the gates between heaven and earth. I set My heavenly steps on the path, but the
path becomes a path only when the man needs Me. Otherwise, I come forcefully, and it is hard
when I come this way, for I am a great God, and the path is small and it hardly keeps Me on it.
Oh, it is hard for the man to get used to My path, very hard, for man is like man, and he does not
want to be otherwise; he neither wants to be angel, or servant, or disciple, or son, for it is too hard
for the man to get used to obedience and love, and that is why I say that man is like man, and he
does not want to be otherwise. It is written into the Scriptures: «The ox knows its master and the
donkey its own manger, but the man does not know Me and he departed from Me». Man is like
man, and he has become careless, disobedient and unsubmissive and does no longer need a master.
If the man knew that the one without a master would not know God; if he wanted to believe that
the master without servants would have not gotten any good thing for God; if the Christian knew
that without a confessor, he would have no God, and if the confessor knew that without the work
of disciples, he would not have any work at all, or any formation, then the man would turn his face
to God and look into a mirror and he would not look at the face of his nature anymore. But I, the
Lord, turn to the man to teach him to receive Me as his master and not to be free anymore, for the
free man wonders away and has no direction, but the one who is obedient, has everything he needs.
Once the man’s faithful dog was freely wondering about, and he met the wolf. The wolf
asked him how came that it was so nice and powerful. The dog answered him: “I have a master
and he gave me a little house, food, water, shadow and my master takes good care of me, and I do
nothing more but barking at strangers now and then, so that the strangers may know that I am my
master’s friend and keeper, day and night and in time of trouble”. The wolf said to the dog: “I want
to go with you for I am hungry and homeless and I am skinny because I have nothing to eat. I ask
for food from God and God gives me little food because I do evil things for evil doers. I am free
but I have no food provided that God gives me. I go with you to the master, too”. The dog took
the wolf with him on the way, but while they were going, the wolf saw a mark on the dog’s furry
neck. “What is this mark on your neck?” “It is the mark of the slip my master keeps me in. I am
bound, I do not stay freely; I stay at my place and I know my place and I obey my master in
everything”. The wolf got scared and said: “I better go hungry and lonely then stay in bondage”.
“If this is so”, said the dog, “if you cannot stay willingly in obedience and bondage, then your fate
is this that you have: that is to have no master, to wander away and without sense, to have no one
to take care of you when you are in trouble, and to go hungry on the earth looking for prey”.
