About fasting and almsgiving
Get used to abstain from food , give the meat away from you , and get used do the will of the Holy Spirit , weak man ! Amen .
Oh , sons of men , do no longer eat meat ! Do no longer let yourselves be dragged by this temptation , which gives birth in you to the spirit of debauchery , of which you do no longer repent . Enough ! Do no longer eat meat ! Stop drinking any drinks that destroy you , sons of people ! ( See the selection topic : „
What defiles a man , what enters or what comes out of him ? 22 ”, r . n .) Shake yourselves from the lust of the body and from the lust of the eyes , which draw you to debauchery , and do no longer feed by this the spirit of the pride of life and of the debauchery of life , for the life is only that which comes from God , only that which is lived with God , and the life is not otherwise . Receive from Me the way of life and repent from the evil things in you and learn from Me , for I am gentle and humble in spirit , and this is how you have to teach and live in all the days of fasting from food , for your fasting is otherwise and it is not good for you either , because they have to learn not only in their body to fast but also in their soul . And if you want the eternal life , do no longer eat meat , do no longer eat meat , oh , sons of people , and love God to be able to this and to be able to do this for Him , for He loves you and waits for you to love Him , and this is how you should escape from bondage , and this is how to learn to be alive . Amen . May your love for God and the days of fasting for God ’ s victory in you be blessed , if you love God in them ! I give you power of love and faith by love . I give you My peace , and I give you not as the world gives you , but I give you as I gave it to those who were saved by their love of God , oh , sons of men , for God is the man ’ s salvation and the glory of those who love Him for His glory on earth . Amen .

I have given great exhortation in the book , and I want them to be awakening . The time of the fasting is the time of the cleaning of everything : of love , humility and of holy patience too . Let no one be upset with his brother for himself , for the reproof that I like has got work for Me upon man , and not for man . Let this people learn the work of not being upset with those that are from the earth among brothers , for I am the One Who knows the hearts , and let no one have other desire or take away this work of the knowledge of the hearts from Me . I have given this great exhortation in this day of teaching for life and for a cross , pleased to Me , from man and I said this : the man has to know his haughtiness and pride that come from this , and then let God know his humility and the entire work that comes from it . Amen .

Behold , I speak out a mystery to you , My people , for I have stayed long with you to teach you , if I took you into My bosom in this day of glory of My angels . Oh , son , when satan stood face to face with Me and tempted Me threefold , after I got out of the water of baptism at Jordan and when the heavens were opened for My Father to speak that I was His beloved Son in Whom He was well pleased on earth , I came back from the river Jordan full of the Father
