About fasting and almsgiving
the world does not mean Christ ’ s church , as those , who today are calling themselves church servants , teaching you , when they do not help the church as much as a straw , but they rather heap up glory for them and for their name , which is not according to their works and it is far too great for their life , which does not take after My life , for I gave My life for My church and I am gentle and humble in My heart , and My word is in power and in its fulfillment . Amen .
Self-denial , which I ask from man who wants to follow Me with the cross of his life , this means the absence of judgment of his mind against those around him , and he who judges does this because he is haughty and because he feels wronged , forgetting that man does not deserve anything but the cutting of his will for the atonement of his sins . I am teaching you , My people nearest to My works with you , I am teaching you this for the time of the fasting , for I want the fasting from food to strengthen you , because this comes together with the work of self-denial , without which man has no power at all . Be careful , sons , for the self-denial is worked by the spirit of love , which does not ask but gives itself in a godly way and for God , not for man , and let everything you do in your body and soul be gathered in the Lord , sons . And both for the spirit and for the body I have taught you to pass from body into soul , for these two live together , working them in the Lord when they belong to God , and do not forget that I said : « God is Spirit , and those who want to worship Him must worship in spirit and truth ». ( John : 4 / 24 ) Amen .

Oh , My people , I , the Lord , your God , the wonderful One among His saints , strengthen My blessing over you for the time of the affectionate prayer to the man ’ s salvation from the sea of unbelief on the earth . Fasting from food without a holy prayer added to it does not have any power , neither for the body nor for the soul and nor for the spirit , but you , My people , be great , be strong by the spirit of the holy prayer , and we will make steps towards a feast of resurrection , and we will come out with a festive and heavenly suite so that the world may see that I am at your feast and resurrection , by which I appear on the earth , and that it may also see that I come to you to be with you on the earth , as it is written to be , and behold , it is as it is written , My people . Amen , amen , amen .
***
Oh , pray , My people , for you and for all those that are oppressed on earth , for I have also prayed to My Father for the comfort of those who are oppressed from all the evil things that are done into their midst . My angels go with Me and put a mark those who are oppressed , for it is written to be so and to protect those who are Mine , but behold , I come and teach them from My mouth and I speak this way to them :
You those who want to learn from God your salvation from the hour of temptation , which is to come on earth to test all people , oh , fill your hearts with the love of God and then with true faith ! Get seated in faith and then in prayer and fasting , fulfilling the commandments of life with love ! I , the Lord , protect you from the hour of temptation that is to come to test all people if you bring your hearts before Me , and your perseverance in watching with Me for your life with God . Leave off the pleasures for they are deceitful ! Give up the lying teaching , for only God will be true on earth , and you will see this ! Oh ,
