2012.09.27. Take care of the guard of your life, sons, as God’s sons have to take care to observe the day of the Lord’s rest with them. Oh, you should not sleep on My day of rest, but you should live it with sobriety for its power for you. Be like those who stand watch at the border, for this day is a border, and it is a day of watch for the man’s life, for in paradise man did not stand watch as I had taught him to do and he did not rest in the Lord, but rather he got up for the evil spirit and thus man did no longer remain within My work. The carrying of the cross means the keeping of the commandments for life, but when those who are haughty get sick because of their disobedience and insubordination, then they can hardly be healed when they have this yeast in their blood, from which they have their conduct. People talk back, they take revenge against each other by their words, they prosecute each other, they are revengeful and know nothing of the mystery of the cross carrying, even if they put on a cross at their neck and rely on it or when they are proud with this sign either. It is different the sign of the cross carried on those who know what the cross and the help from it means. Oh, people do not know that the trials and the sufferance that come upon them are even their help on their way to the Lord. Few are on earth among those who know to say in their hard life according to the truth: “Holy cross, help me!” Oh, who else can help man to God if not even the troubles that come upon him? The salvation to man does not come on any other way, but only through troubles and patience for them, as it is written in the prophets: «Ask now, and see whether a man give birth to child: why do I see every man with his hands on his waist, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness. Alas! For that day is great, so that none is like it… but in time of trouble he shall be saved out of it?» (See Jer. 30:6, 7) In addition, it is written again: «Offer to God the sacrifice of thanksgiving. Pay your vows to the Most High. Call on Me in the day of trouble. I will deliver you, and you will honor Me». (Ps. 50:14, 15) 4 However, God has not spoken to the sinful man in the same way. To the wicked God says: «What right do you have to declare My statues, that you have taken My covenant on your lips. Seeing you hate instruction and throw My words behind you? When you saw a thief, you consented with him, and have participated with adulterers. You give your mouth to evil. You harness your tongue for deceit. You sit and speak against your brother. You slander your own mother’s son. You have done these things, and I kept silent. You thought that the “I Am” was just like you. I will rebuke you, and accuse you in front of your eyes. ‘Now consider this, you who forget God, lest I tear you into pieces, and there be none to deliver». (Ps. 50:16-22) On a day of holy feast dedicated to My carried cross, I, the Lord, have put on the table dear teaching for those who know from Me how man can come after Me and be My follower. His ornament has to be his life lived according to My commandments after My will ac- cording to the model of My life on earth, for the cross is life, and it can pass you over to the Lord. Let your conduct before Me and your conduct among brothers be sweet, My people. Oh, do not get easily angry, son, and do not be discontent; you should neither be harsh nor lose your patience, or lose the gift of the fear of God for the steps of your life, for without it man loses his wisdom which he has got from God. Let Me be your wisdom, not you, for you are a son taught by God, oh, My people. Take from My spring of word, take My word from those who 4 50 MT = 49 LXX 3
