2004.02.29. The Word of God 1 on the first Sunday of the Lent, of the Orthodoxy 2 My Spirit is the Holy Spirit Who is carried by the saints, and I dwell with Him in the saints, as I have done all the time, because the saints have the spirit of humility in them, and this spirit does not have his face in man anyhow, and where he has it, it is wonderful and he is like God. Amen, amen, amen. The Spirit of humility in man helps Me to dwell in man and to make a throne for Me in him and to reign from it in the midst of those who are humble, who have the wisdom from above and which is clean, peaceful, full of mercy and good works, honest and faithful, and which is obedient, My people. (See the selection topic: „The heaven – the throne, the earth – the footstool: the man deified”, r.n.) Oh, I settle down as word upon you to teach you, Jerusalem, and then to see that you have received My teaching, for it is in this way and no otherwise that faith works. The Spirit by which I dwell into your midst has to give you abundant grace, for it is written in the Scriptures of the Holy Spirit that «God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble». (1 Pet. 5:5) The Holy Spirit, Who gives grace, has been carried only by saints, for the saints have stayed on the way of faith and they have walked straightly on it and cried in the Holy Spirit, for there is only crying on earth, My people. However, there is a greater pain on My when I see how the flesh of the man lusts against the spirit and he cannot wake up from his slumber and to believe being sure of the things hoped for and through this to bring the proof of those that are not seen, for I, the Lord, Who am, and Who was, and Who comes, made the ages by faith and by My spoken word, and out of nothing I brought into view those that were not seen and that are not seen now. Amen. The flesh lusts against the spirit and that is why the man cannot pass from flesh into spirit. Oh, the man cannot get away with his flesh and to pass into the spirit, and then to lust within his spirit against his body and to do the works of faith, as the saints did and do, those who have passed from body into spirit and have cried on earth. The saints cry on earth and that is why they are saints, for the one who is sure of the things hoped for, that one testifies about them and he cries waiting for them and loves seeing and hoping, and he cries loving and suf- fering and waiting by faith. Amen. I spoke in the time of My body that was seen among the people and I said that faith does not belong to everyone. There has been nestled on earth the heresy that the people who make a building for a church and go into it, they also are people of faith, but I, the Lord, tell them that it is not so. Faith does not belong to everyone. It is the gift of the saints who have proved out the works of their faith and who have fled from the joys and pleasures as Moses fled from the debauchery in Egypt and from the deceit, which came from the sinful and fleeting sweetness, and he rather chose to share ill treatment together with the people of the Lord, look- ing straight to the reward after it. Oh, My people, if Moses did not have the gift of faith, he could not remain faithful like the man who saw the One Who was invisible, and he could not split the sea in two, he could 1 2 God’s Word in „Holy Citadel New Jerusalem” monastery, Glodeni – Romania, redactor note.
