About fasting and almsgiving
… Beware , and again beware ! If someone comes from the world to you and asks you for blessing , do not give it to him , as many devils came out from the ground that stole the blessing from the Christians and they went and had powers over you .
… If someone showed you a mistake , receive it . Do not be upset , but rather thank him , as if he were not to say it , the evil spirit would write down your mistake . I have seen that you are determined to fast , sons . It is not necessary to fast only for three days , but you can also fast two or one day , according to your love and power , as this fasting is for all that is of value . By this fasting and by prayers you will take many out of fire .
I told you many times to learn to sing David ’ s psalms . Excerpt from the Word of God , from
22-12-1975 .

… Did you see a man dying while he was eating ? I saw a man dying while he was eating . But I have never seen a man dying while he was fasting . There are persons into My people who can fast more than it is to be fasted and there are persons who cannot fast even for a half a day , but they have love , and I take from the morsel of the one that fasts and give it to him . Walk among My people , for there are some who hate those that do not fast .
… Pray incessantly ; more into the middle of the night when all sleep , and fast , for the fasting that you had and the prayer that you did , took the life of many beasts , and what you will do from now on will destroy and crush many who hate you .
… Keep My word and work with God . Make good deeds , for it is for you that you do it . Someone said : „ The Lord gave me a heavy burden to fast many hours . It seems that the Lord does not know that I am sick and that I cannot fast ”. Oh , sons , before the fathers and the forefathers did many things by fasting and praying . You have not done any miracle so that the world may come back to Me . Come to Me , My people , and make a decision for you : „ Lord , I want to serve You ”.
… Call out to Me for your enemy to perish , but you call , for I see him . Maybe he is friend with you . That is why I say : you call out . For some of you it comes a great joy , and for others , a great sorrow ; each one in his work . Listen , Christian , to have high power . This is how the power of My Son will be given from God to His servant , and whatever you will command , it will be fulfilled , and you will no longer fight with sword and gun , but with prayer , with fasting and with watching . This is how you will hunt , as the weapons , which were made into the factories and enterprises , will become rusty , as there will no longer be time for them to point to rifle to shoot you . They will fill up the trenches and the paths with their weak bodies .
