About fasting and almsgiving
vegetables , seeds , bread and water , as God gave at the beginning to be the food which man was supposed to eat on earth 37 , ( Gen : 1 / 29 .) only that man went wrong against God and then he lusted and started to eat living creatures , bodies with a living spirit in them , and after that the living creatures could also do like man .
Oh , sons , the kingdom of the heavens is not eating or drinking , oh , and the man does not now to look for it , to build it , to have it as his share , as his life on it .
The human kind has been divided in two even from the very beginning . The man ’ s disobedience in heaven lead man to fall from heaven , after he had taken of the tree the man was told not to take , and to take of the other trees , oh and when he took , behold , the man took in him the good and evil , and the man and the woman gave birth to two sons ; one was good and the other was evil , and the evil one killed the good one , his brother , and this was satan ’ s work , for man forsook God and took from satan his evil advice .
Sons , sons , the man who receives advice from satan , forsakes God and serves satan , and , therefore , he chooses to do evil , and not the good that comes from God . Oh , sons , learn and learn again to keep a perfect fast from satan ’ s things . Which things are from satan ? They are the things that do not take after God . I am humble and gentle in My heart and I want man ’ s holiness , and these are God ’ s things for man . When a man is not like God , that is humble and gentle in his heart , he does not have My humility in him ; he is harsh in his word , he is discontent , hot-tempered , grumbling , pretentious , liar , judging , full of self-desires all the time , ambitious , haughty with many faces like the Pharisee man ; he is lazy with respect for the heavenly things and he has no fear of God , which helps man not to choose the sin which brings punishment in the end , oh , and the man who is not humble and gentle in his heart like God is in many other ways . When you know this from Me , then you should examine yourselves , sons , to know after that to fast truly in the time of the fasting from food , for otherwise you take after the world that reads in the calendar that the time for fasting is coming and the world does not know what the fasting from food is and what it has to add to it on the way of the time of fasting , and there is no one to tell him on earth , as in order to stand against sin , man has to restrain himself from fatty , oily and tasty food , just as sin for man is , and the fleshly desires are on satan ’ s side in man , they are the evil taken by man from the tree in paradise , when man did not listen to God not to take from the forbidden tree .
Oh , sons , be humble before God , for God is holy , sons . Do not serve satan by the spirit of pride and haughtiness , but rather be gentle , humble and full of humility like Mine and by which to stand against satan in you , for the Lord waits for man to come to holiness , for His dwelling place in man , sons .
Do this in memory of Me , dear sons . Do this every time so that I may be with you moment by moment and that satan may be overcome , for I promised and said : « I will be with you to the end ». ( See John : 14 / 16 ) If you remember Me , I will be with you , oh sons , by what I am , for I am God ’ s Word , and in this way I am with you , and you will tread on serpents and scorpions and they will do you no harm and you will say , « May Your will be done , Lord !» ( See Luke : 10 / 19 ) And My will is man ’ s holiness , the paradise man , in whom God dwells with man , and if the man is not always holy , then God does not dwell in him .

« God also said , ' Look , to you I give all the seed-bearing plants everywhere on the surface of the earth , and all the trees with seed-bearing fruit ; this will be your food . » ( Gen : 1 / 29 .)
