About fasting and almsgiving
for My love in their midst , they prevail against their self against those that are in them and they help each other for their dwelling together in My name and for those that are useful to their souls .
In eight days , the time of the Lent comes to an end and many of those who have fasted from food have sinned with their mouth giving false speeches and useful to the devil , and they have sinned by doing what is wicked , by the straining of their soul and by their lack of watching for the love of God , because if man does not fast for his love of God and he fasts only that because of his fasting the Lord may help him to succeed in his things , oh , such a man does not have the love of God in him , but he needs help for himself , and the Lord gives him if he asks for it ; however , if he does not give to the Lord that which the Lord expects from him , that is love from his whole heart , soul and spirit , then the man ’ s fasting is useless , and it is known that he does not have the love of God in him , and it is known that he has not got grace , and that such a man has got love only for himself .
Excerpt from the Word of God at the feast of the Annunciation , from
07-04-2012 . ***
Oh , well sons , if man ate only as much as his body needs and not as the flesh desires , which becomes hunger in man , oh , then man would be otherwise ! When man gets used to much and frequent food and famishes his body , then he brings it to exhaustion with very much work which he gives to it for the preparation of the food , for the food cooked by man for the taste of his desire and his tongue is not favorable to the building of his body , for it is prepared for the inside part of the nature of the body , according to the need of the work which he has in him for the course of those things inside of him , for God created the man ’ s body wonderfully .
Oh , sons , you should love all the things God has set as ordinances for your welfare here and then for eternity . Love to fast , well sons , for the sons of the world do not love it , and neither do those who do not have anything to eat , and these do not fast as much as the fasting people who do not violate the whole order set over the being of the church to be kept afterwards . He who loves fasting , that one loves obedience and he loves health too , for the health comes from the law of obedience . Those who fast with their soul , with their body and spirit are more heavenly , for these have to live in peace and within their whole work in everything they have been given to do , just as God , the Father , the Son and the Holy Spirit are One and have the same work because this Trinity cannot be divided . Oh , and in the same way it should be done the building of the body , too , well sons , and will , instruction , teaching and great love are needed for the body to work like that , and the spirit of the brotherhood feeds the brothers who are together with the fruit of the Holy Spirit , that becomes food with power in the holy things of the inner body , and the body can work for its law from God build in it .
Now , I am setting the word of blessing with power for the beginning and for the heavenly course of the time of the fasting with you , sons . During this time you should taste fully of the taste of the prayer by which , with days of fasting , you ask from God His will on earth and over the people just as you ask for you , well sons , for we are in the middle of God ’ s creation in which it is set the world with all its sons , who do not love God but rather love the spirit and the works of the darkness of this age , the age of the world . However , you are on earth with God ’ s age and you have the power from God against the spirit of the world to bring it into submission as I did , only for you to know to remain and not come out from the Lord , well sons , for the spirit of the world breathes everywhere with his speaking . Oh , one needs much awakening and working watch for this , and I ask you and I teach you with hope :
