to come . I said to the one who wants to come after Me ; I told him to deny himself and to take up his cross and follow Me ; this way and not otherwise . The one who follows Me has always got a cross . The happiness for the man with Me is not as on the earth . With Me it is a cross , and it is not a more glorified way for man than the way of the cross , and first the cross is self-denial , in order that the man may bear together with Me all those that puts his life to test to the point of clarifying the steadfast of his faith in God and of his love for God . I cannot walk with man until I put to test his love and his faithfulness , but he who does not know how to deny himself for My living in him , that one is caught in the trap of his unbelief then , and he does not keep in him the life that does not die , the love which makes the man divine and through which the man does no longer die . ( See the selection topic : „ About the graven image and the sign of the cross ”, r . n .)
Behold , the man does not know how to die and he does not know how to live , and I , the Lord , get ready to teach the one who joined My love for man and to help him take after Me , for the man ’ s humility , that which takes after My humility before man , that is the greatest comfort for God , and if then I had comforting disciples , I want to have them now , and those whom I have I need to teach them always , so that they may know how to be My disciples and how to do My work in them . Amen .
I have set great exhortations into My book with you , people of My word . However , first I want to remind you and to teach you how to control your will in you for the sake of My will , as it is the tradition for the saints , who know to deny themselves for the sake of My life in them . At the beginning of My people of today I taught him with a fatherly love not to violate God ’ s will for the sake of his will , for the holy faith has remained as tradition from the saints and from their fathers , and by it the work of the humility of spirit and repentance , the work of fasting and prayer , the way of the cross and of all those by which the man saves himself and gives himself to Me and then he lives forever , for he who lives in Me never dies , but My people at the beginning and the one from the middle have not got that love by which the man becomes divine filling himself with God . Often I have told him not to violate My will in him for the sake of his will and I have asked him to come to prayer and to observe a due time for praying , and no longer to stay in the court of the house or in the garden , but to enter and to stay before Me after that , and I asked him if he heard Me what I told him , and I exhorted him not to put away from him My order that has been left for the saints . I have taught him all I wanted to love in him , and if he has not always listened this way , then he has violated My will for the sake of his will and I have waited for him in vain to be My son and that he may not die .
Oh , he who does not pray like the saints , that one is caught by the devil , and the devil brings death to the man , if the man listens to it , but now , I have always , always taught the people that I have , for I want to have a people and I want it to be My coming . He who knows how to come to Me is he who learns to come , and behold , I am the Teacher over the faithful one who knows to be My Son . Amen .
Oh , My people , in order to be My people , you have to be faithful in everything I give you and ask from you . Oh , My people , My heavy cross was the man ’ s unbelief , and the disobedient one proves to be unfaithful . I bring important exhortations to you and you should take care to fulfill them , son , for those who stay under the same shelter , all have to be one , and they have to be united in everything they work before Me with their spirit and body . That is why I told the watchmen to watch well to be like those who live together , for they cannot be one , those who do not have the same spirit , the same love , the same faith , the same obedience and the same work for Me .
