About fasting and almsgiving
which is set upon you by the saints and by My word of today upon you , which is calling you to fulfill Me with your life , which is prompting you to be righteous with God and with your neighbor , with your brother . I suffer , I suffer because I stay into your midst speaking upon you , and you completely live in a worldly manner and not in a Christian way on your hearth , where behold who is coming ! It is coming from heaven ; the Lord is coming on your hearth , oh , Romanian people , and He is speaking with you , and He is speaking from you over all the nations and is exhorting them to the word of God , to the voice of My mouth , which is coming to establish the peace among the nations . I do not want to give the peace as the world gives , but I want to give them My peace instead .

Oh , what a great wonder would rise from the earth to heaven if the whole Christian people , all the baptized people , wanted not to violate but observe he fasting days with holiness , everything that I , the Lord , have set for the people on earth by the saints ! Oh , the people ’ s disobedience presses hard on Me , but I call them and remind them of My holy law for the Christians and I tell them that there are four fasting periods in one year , and they have to be observed and fulfilled with fear and awe , for otherwise it is not well on earth . There has been no nation on earth to go well with it when it has not kept into account the ordinations coming down from heaven for the Christian people in order to be kept so that I , the Lord , may dwell with them and help them because of their obedience . Any trouble , any threatening , any kind of things or devilish invasion go to the winds if their fasting and praying added to it are brought before the Lord according to their ordination , for I spoke to everyone : « Pray incessantly !»

The teaching of the today ’ s parable requires much work in the inner man of each Christian , because the fasting for the preparation of the soul and body has no value if man does not humble himself in his heart and in his entire inner being so that the time of his fasting , his works and conduct in the time for the fasting to have spirit . Each one is able to see what is not good or beautiful in him and in his conduct , but if he does not have the wisdom as his midwife , then his life and conduct cannot be corrected . Therefore , the work of humility needs to have precedence in the man ’ s spirit , for the Pharisee in the today ’ s parable did not get any justice with God for him , oh , he did not find any , and he remained lower than the sinful man who did not fast but cried after mercy painfully , becoming so small , so lost with his life and with the works of his life before God .
Oh , sons of My word , use , sons , the measure of the wisdom of the things , and rule with it My pleasure in you , and yours in Me , for holiness is everything the faithful one has to learn , to know and to work , and then I , the Lord , have a pleasant dwelling place in him , that is the one who loves Me and gives Me everything , the whole right , and I am the Lord , his God , and I glorify Myself in him and through him , because otherwise man can keep on fasting as much as he wants , but if I cannot dwell in him , then to whom does he give his sacrifice and where does he want to reach with it ?
