About fasting and almsgiving
becomes worse than those he had before , as it is written of the house who is cleansed from evil , which the evil spirit finds again , and it comes in again and makes its nest in it for the man ’ s unsteadiness . The man is afraid to come back to Paradise . Sons , with whom I cry My pain for the man , the man is afraid to come back to Paradise and bows Me down to his desires and to his needs instead of bowing to My will , to My longing for him and to his life from Paradise .
Behold , it is only talking about the beginning of the feast of Passover . The man enjoys food and drinking and sinning and he says that it is Shrovetide from these . The man eats sins of all kinds to My Passover , and then he comes to the church and takes the Passover from the priest . Oh , only if the man would learn from Me what Passover means , what the feast for Passover means and what resurrection by fasting means , and the Lord with the man by fasting and by food , by eating and by fasting !

Oh , sons of the people , the mystery of fasting is a heavenly mystery . The work of the feasting is a great mystery , but the people who call themselves “ theologians ” have raised the sin to a mystery rank , and take the fasting from man , and the man always eat and no longer fasts ; he eats with a great appetite and eats to his likeness and makes of his food his joy forgetting that the man died because of food and for it he dies today too . Blessed is the man who eats in this time in obedience of God . Come closer you too , sons of the people , and listen to God , for I have put over those , who are pleased to Me , the fasting for My coming , the food pleased to God for the eternal life of the man , the obedience to the laws of Paradise . Amen . Come closer and listen , for I , the Lord , have put a fasting on the earth for My coming with glory in the glory of My Father , for I come for His glory , not for My glory . You should also love what I love ; love God ’ s glory and deny your own glory , for your glory passes away like grass , but God ’ s glory is forever . Come and receive wisdom ! Come and find the Lord ! Come and learn ! Amen , amen , amen .
The word of the fast is a great mystery . It means for the man to fast from those for him and to do those of Mine . He , who feeds on bodies , ( Of meat , r . n .) is flesh , and he who feeds on God , that one becomes great in his spirit and grace , overcoming the work of the body . Amen . When I created the man out of the dust , I told him to eat everything , which comes out of the ground , but he did not listen and rather wanted to eat from heaven , and he ate without obeying . That is why I say today : blessed is the man who eats in obedience of God in this time of My coming . Amen , amen , amen .

The man does not know what fasting is , when he speaks about fasting , for if he knew , he would fast from every evil , which separates him from Me . He wants to come closer to me by his fasting from food but he cannot come to Me this way . Behold , the man does not know what light is and of which it is made to have light . I say : receive light from My creative word , oh , sons of the people ! Receive your making from Me by this word , which has been flowing for such a long time on the earth for the man ’ s creation . Give yourselves to God , the Creator , to make you . Amen . The time of renewal has come and a new man is needed for this time , for the Son of Man is coming ; He is coming to set the table of His kingdom on earth with the
