About the carved image ( icon ) and the sign of the cross
love Me , as I am your love . The time comes for the people with human and earthly wisdom to follow you seven times seven , and they will sell out their possessions to buy My name from you and to bear it , so that they may have a name , as it is written in the Scripture which says : « Fall on us mountains and hide us from the Lord ’ s wrath !». But then you will not be able to witness that someone is Mine , but only the one that you will know that does My will into My name .
Oh , people , you build churches of walls in vain if the Christians do not come in with their clean bodies and hearts . Let the man make peace with God ! Let the man kneel down and make a real cross upon his body , utter a prayer of repentance , cleanse himself by remorse , put upon him the promise of the resurrection from the dead , and let him take God in him only this way , for reconciliation to God , to the everlasting unity with God . Let the man forgive one another , for many things which are forgiven on earth shall be forgiven by God . Let Christ be lived by man and the man live in Christ , for the wisdom from heaven is one , and this is : « Let the man deny himself , take up his cross and follow Me » on the earth and in heaven , through the world and in the church . Amen .

I have My saints with Me , and I have a feast of bishops with Me in you , Israel of My word . I gave you the greatest gift of the gifts . There is no greater gift among the gifts than the word of God carried by the man in order for the man to have a guide . Israel , carry My word into your bosom as you carry the cross at your neck and kiss it day and night as you would kiss the master who takes you by your hand with love and care .

Oh , blessed is the man who is denying of himself , for that one finds My peace , which is coming towards him . The one who is denying of himself , that one can love his neighbor who has , like him , the denial of oneself , who has God in oneself . The one who is denying of himself loves God and his neighbor , for it is no good for man to be alone . The man alone has his own will and listens to it , but the one who sits together with those that belong to Christ , that one seeks to please his neighbor in what is good . Only beside your neighbor you can break his heart , only then you can love God ’ s advice and your advice , for who advises with his own self , that one is a haughty man and names himself the antichrist for himself . The antichrist is the man who does not let Christ to live in him , to reign in him as a God from heaven . The antichrist is the one who calls himself a Christian in order to deceive Christ , as it is today in the churches from the world , as the Christians from the world go to church and live a worldly life on earth .

I speak with you Verginica , and I speak with you , My people , so that the one , who has to hear , may hear .
