About the carved image ( icon ) and the sign of the cross
Oh , wandering man , I have called you to see My bride and to receive a longing for the bride who waits for his Bridegroom . The evil spirit is the spirit of the world . I have called you to see My image and I have called you to see My bride people through whom I glorify Myself over the earth for you , the one who is wandering away from his Father . I bring you from time to time near My manger and from it I give you My word , which is born in it from My mouth . Oh , teach yourself to speak from heaven not from your heart , for your heart is not right with Me . You say that you have Me in your heart and you do not need to have Me outside of you too , in your appearance , and I tell you that even the devils believe in Me , but they do not submit to Me . Behold , the one who does not confess Me , that one is not on My side . Who can confess Me ? The one who takes after Me , the one who is from Me . Amen .

I have exhorted to humility , repentance , patience , cleanness and holiness in everything , to a decent and noble conduct and speaking as well . ( See the selection topic : „
About fasting and almsgiving ”, r . n .)
Oh , I have got pains and worries for many of you , and I am speaking to you , sons gathered at the spring . The Holy Spirit is the Teacher for you on this day . Oh , open yourselves and open to Me too , sons ! I am speaking to you and asking you . The mystery of the place here , and My whole work in the middle of the citadel of My word , oh , I have got a high mystery here with you ; however , the higher this mystery is , to which you have come too , oh , the deeper is the fall of the one who does not want to go on to the end with this mystery and with its teaching , and he is shaking on this top of the mountain on which I am standing , speaking and sharing Myself , and the one who is shaking has to
