2003.02.16. The Word of God 1 on the Sunday of the memorial of the parable of the Pharisee and the Publican 2 I write Myself down into My book with you today, too, and you should open for Me, sons, who are My gates! Open the gates, for I come down as the word in the book, a word of teaching over the earth and over you. Amen. Today we remember the tax collector (The Publican) and the Pharisee, who came to pray in the temple. I want to teach the man in this day too, for I am with you as word, I am Teacher and I shepherd all the nations of the earth with an iron staff, with the teaching, which the man does not find on earth, for there is haughtiness and pride upon the man on the earth, and such a man cannot yield fruit with his teaching about the kingdom of the heavens, if even he does not remain in it in such a way that the man may see that he has got it, and then to follow him. The good works, which the man does in My name from his earnings, these can be a snare for his soul, for the Master of the heaven and of the earth asks from the man those that are in him, not those that are outside of him, and I said: «I desire mercy not sacrifice». There is no man on earth to understand this word, but I have found you, faithful children, and I have been teaching you to believe, the way I like the man to believe, and first I have taught you the wisdom of the mind and then its works into your little hearts, and only after that the work of your hands and all the work that starts from the things of the man. Amen. I have been seek- ing mercy from the man for seven thousand years and the multitude of his sacrifice does not comfort Me. When I see the man that he heaps up works upon works into My name upon the man, when I see that he does not know that this is not the kingdom of the heavens, which I, the Lord, wait to exist in the man, then it hurts Me, it really hurts Me, sons and children. What shall I do to the man? What shall really I do to him? What shall I do to those who think that they are the Christians of the church, who do so many works to the joy of their heart? There is no one to tell them that Scripture, which says that: «Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted». (Mat: 23/12) The man does to the man not to Me, and after he does so, he exalts himself in his mind thinking that he is Mine, that he has Me by his deeds. My plan with the man is another one, but poor of him, he does not find any teaching to lead the man to Me, the One Who gives eternal life to the humble man in his heart and by the work of his hand. I have come now, after two thousand years, like a thief, and I have found the man without God on earth, without faith on earth, for I said: «When the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on earth to do justice to His chosen ones, who cry out to Him day and night and for whom He has long endurance? Yes, He will do them justice, soon, soon, I say». Amen. But who are those, My chosen ones? They are those who call for Me to come and they are those who desire Me to save them from their death and from the eternal perdition; they are not like those who say like the Pharisee, who coming to the temple to pray, was thanking Me that he was not like the other people, who stole and did wrong and went into revelry, or like the tax collector who also came before Me with his prayer: and the Pharisee was also reminding Me that he was fasting two days a week and that he was giving tithes of everything he had got. 1 2 God’s Word in „Holy Citadel New Jerusalem” monastery, Glodeni – Romania, redactor note.
