if it is caught by haughtiness , then it becomes a judge over the one who wore it , and killed its holy gift by haughtiness , as Adam did in the old time .
Do you really know , My loved people , what the devil is ? Behold , I tell you a mystery , holy sons : it is bad of the man , who serves another master without knowing his master in his face . It is bad of the man , who serves the devil without knowing the master he serves . How comes such a thing , holy sons ? The man , who does not know God ’ s blessings , the promises and the Lord ’ s rewards , that one does not serve God , on the contrary , he serves the devil and does not know his master in his face , and many of this kind of people recognize God as God , but they do not recognize the devil that they serve .
Do you really know , My loved people , who the devil is ? Get down learning and growing up , My people , as I gave no one such a growth , as I gave you . When the man was created by God ’ s hand and by God ’ s Spirit , he was made to have the sense of good and evil , so that I might not make him a slave , and rather to make him a free man , sons . If I had built in him only the sense of good , he would have been forever a slave , a man without any merits , a man without any work . But I also put in him the sense of evil , so that the man might be free , as this is the freedom from Me , and not other . Then I told the man to gather only obedience , only what is good , and to nourish his sense of good , and to overcome with it and to condemn the sense of evil . If I had built in him only the sense of good , it would have not been necessary to warn him against eating of the tree of disobedience . But what did the man have to do , so that he might not fall from the life ? He had to condemn the sin from his body , as I did when I became flesh of the Virgin as the Son of the heavenly Father . What did I do ? What is written into the Scriptures ? « He condemned the sin in His own body , nailing it to the cross ». Sons , disobedience wakes up the evil in the man , and the evil is no longer condemned in the man , and obedience to God makes the man condemn the evil in him and not to allow it to work , as I did . I condemned the sin in My body , and then I nailed it to the cross , by My death on the cross . I made the man after God ’ s image and likeness , and not otherwise , but the man did no longer condemn the evil in his body , and the evil woke up in him by disobedience to God , by not recognizing his Master and the face of his Master . Behold , the man should have not forgotten his Master . The man should have got God as his Master instead , but he came out from under His dominion and used his freedom to sin .
Sons , sons , I have taught you what the devil is . The devil should not have been free in the man . God should have been free in the man . When one is free , the other is no longer master . When the evil is woken up by the man in his inside , then the good is crucified in the man . When the good is always awake , always master in the man , then the evil is crucified in the man . The little child knows neither the good , nor the evil , and that is why is carried in the arms by the big brother , and the child is calm and in peace and in comforting arms . Oh , what pain on Me , when I see the children growing up and that there is no one to teach them what good and what evil is , what God and what the devil is ! The man is a house for good and for evil , and these two are not without man . When the man was not , these were not at work , for God works together with the man , and He created everything for the man , as he created the obedience only after the man was created .
Oh , My people , oh My people , oh , My loved people ! The apostles wonder at My teaching of today , that they neither knew , nor lived it in the time of My body and their body . In the time of My body , and then in their time , My church was taken by storm , and everybody wanted to be My Christians and their Christians , and it was hard for the man to understand well the face of Christ in man . Oh , My people , it was hard and it still is hard . It has been hard in all ages to receive the full face of a man , extremely hard , My people . From now on , My apostles see My time with you ,
