The Word of God 1 at the feast of the saint hierarch Spyridon 2
Peace to you, My people, in a day of bishop’s feast! Peace to the Romanian people, and
let days with confessor saints from heaven come down over its head, the spirit of confession,
from where God’s peace comes upon it, if the Lord is well pleased, if this nation has in it sons
well pleased by God. Amen.
I come into the book as word and I find watch at the gates for My coming. Oh, you
should also watch, My people, and be good soil to bring forth fruit, because I am the Sower,
Who sows My word upon you, so that you may hear it and listen to it and then bring forth fruit,
son. You are given to know the mysteries of God’s kingdom, well sons, but for those out-
side everything is done in parables, so that by seeing with their eyes they may not see and
hearing with their ears they may not hear, lest they may come back and I heal them, as
the prophets wrote. (See the selection topic: „About the kingdom of God”, r.n.) And behold,
it is the same now the parable of the seed which falls from the mouth of the sowers over those
by the roadside, to whom the word is given, but satan comes and takes it away from their heart,
or over those who are in a rocky soil, who hear it immediately and rejoice over it, but by not
having any root they resist for a while and when the trial comes they fall; or over those on whom
it is sown among thorns, who hear the word but the worries make it unfruitful in them.
Oh, My people, the Scriptures have always, always been fulfilled for those who are good
and for those who are evil, and many from the servants of the church and from other people
believe in this word, but the servants of the church do not confess it so that they may not
lose their greatness, for it is written: «They loved human praise more than God’s praise, and
seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear that they may not come back to forgive
their many sins and to heal them because I am good».
The man is of clay and the same is his love. Oh, only if he lets himself be made by My
hand, only in this way he would have part of holy faith in God’s works, and behold, those who
were once enlightened by the gift of faith in God’s works, only those are tested by unbelief;
however there is not unbelief but rather something else. When man is inclined to the evil things
after he walks with Me, then he tries to cover himself as though God is not on the way with
him, and by this he covers his sliding, and besides this there is also the lack of God fear, for I,
the Lord, take away My gifts from the one sliding on his way and I leave him with his money.
Oh, what great and heavenly signs My testifying and miracle-working saints worked by
their faith over the unfaithful and stiff-necked people when it came to have faith! What did they
understand; those who saw in the time of confession My bishop Spyridon made for God? If the
man does not want to believe, shall I not speak over him as though it is not fulfilled and as he
would like to see the fulfillments of My word? However, did I not say that My kingdom is
not of this world and that it is in man if it really is? And if you do not have it in you, what
do you want to see, unfaithful sons because of your stubbornness when it comes to believe
the word sown over you from the mouth of the sower, who always gets out and sows his
seed? Satan comes at the mouth of your heart and snatches the word sown by Me in you, and
even if you rejoice over it immediately, by having no root and by staying on rocky ground, then
