The Word of God in Romania 2000.01.30 - The Word of God at the feast of the S

2000.01.30 The Word of God 1 at the feast of the St. Anthony the Great 2 You, who hear from My mouth the word of life, lay with it into My book of these days. Amen. I come again at the manger with food; I come with the word of life. It is My power for those who are saved by it from sins and from those in the world, and for the wisdom of the world, it is foolishness. The wise man asks himself: „How can God speak so much?” The one, who says this, calls Me weak and limits My power. However, I would speak forever and I would never be silent, for I am the One Who can. The man cannot, but I can, only that the wonder of My power to be seen, the wonder of My word, within which I do not grow tired, for I have to establish a new heaven and a new earth, by word and by the work of My creating word, and I have to frustrate the wise and the learned of this age, for behold, the world through its wisdom has not known God within God’s wisdom, and I, the Lord, save those who are faithful that preach Me, the crucified One, and this is a stumbling block for the Jews, and for the pagans is foolishness, because it is written: «For Jews ask for signs, Greeks seek after wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified; a stumbling block for the Jews, and foolishness to Greeks, but for those who are called, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God». And behold, the wisdom and the strength of the people is overcome by the foolishness and wickedness of God’s sons, so that those that are may put down those that are not, so that no body may boast before Me. The law of the spirit of life frees the man from the law of sin and death, as it is written: «Those, who are fleshly, lust for the fleshly ones, and those, who are spiritually, lust for the spiritual ones». Amen. The flesh lusts against God and cannot submit to the law of God, and behold, those who are in the flesh cannot be pleased to God, but the man does not want to hear something like this, and rather he feeds on the love of God, or so he says. The man does not like the word of life. Oh, he does not like My long speech, for it is for those who are saved from sin and from the world, and the man calls the preaching of life foolishness and he seeks to hide, saying that it is not I, Who speak so much, and that it is not I, Who speaks Romanian from heaven on earth. However, I am; I, the word of the eternal life, and he, who does not learn from Me, that one fails to get his remove, for the world by its wisdom has not known God within God’s wisdom, for it is written into the Scriptures: «I will lose the wisdom of the wise and the knowledge of the learned I will destroy, and I will call out foolishness over the wisdom of the world and I will ask: where is the wise and where is the scribe of this age?» I come to My manger with the word of life, and blessed is he, who hears My voice from the manger, and will not stumble against Me. And you, who hear the word of life from My mouth, give yourselves to one another and to Me with all your life, and let Me be your life; let those of Mine be in it and thus you should give to Me from those of Mine. Amen. Each moment of rebuke is a birth, and this is the work of the church, for he, who forgets My teachings, brings forth pain to the church and to the Holy Spirit, Who has to live and work within the church by the mystery of the church, through the body of the church, through its entire body. Amen. This work of wisdom is no longer on earth, for if the baptism the man made for the 1 2 God’s Word in „Holy Citadel New Jerusalem” monastery, Glodeni – Romania, redactor note.
