About fasting and almsgiving
Israel , My child , I made you children , but on what ? The angels wonder that you are still wicked . The children of old wore themselves out and did not leave Me ; not even for a pinhead ; they did not blaspheme Me , but you have separated from Me because of a house or a rebuke . Israel , My people , do not hide from God for the wicked man ; do not hide but better arm yourself , as the power that comes in you is from Me . Only if you knew , son , how much power the faith has , and fasting without sorrow and prayer made with much peace and love !
… Israel son , Israel , come closer to Me , as the time ahead of you is pagan . The world in front of you and on your right and on your left and in your back has a pagan life . All the days of the life are without celebration ; they are without shame and without fear of anyone . The man has an animal life , and he eats like a wolf , grumbles like a bear , and wallows like a pig .
… Israel son , the Lord speaks to you once again ; both when the day comes , and when the dark comes , when it is a day of feast or a day of fasting , you should keep it . Even if the shrew urges or hits you , you should still keep it , as if not , you will fall into judgment with Me and this deed will not be forgiven to you , the same as with the one who moved the ice pond and was not forgiven too .
Excerpt from the Word of God , from
07-08-1974 ***
… Your fathers and forefathers were fasting and you do not know as well as I know , and they were turning days of week into feasting ; they chose them for the use of their life . They were choosing certain days and dedicated them for God ’ s honor . They were not eating on Mondays at all , nor on Wednesdays or on Fridays ; however , they all eat today ; even if the night were day , they would always eat and never be satisfied .
… Israel sons , a great lust comes for everyone . A lust for fasting comes to one , and a lust for eating comes to another one ; a lust for heaven comes to one , and a lust for earth comes to another one ; a lust for prayer comes for one and a lust for novels and movies comes to another one .
… In the time of the fathers and forefathers , all the people suffered if one went wrong ; all the people suffered for the one who did not fast ; for one that did not pray , all the people suffered ; for one that committed fornication , all the people suffered ; you should know that .
… How do you love God ? Do you know how ? With your right hand you worship and with your left hand you commit sin .
… What do you do ? The wicked people come to you and take you to work on Sundays ; they take you out of My little church and they take you where they want . Israel son , if you were strong in faith , in prayer and in fasting , no one would come to take you , as between you and the world it would be the fence of fasting and praying .
