2013.03.03. and from his life for such a long time. Oh, but why did his father receive him? He received him because this son had denied himself; this son who had wandered away from love did not expect anything after that but only mercy. Behold, he who comes to Me needs deny himself when he comes lest by his coming he may not come, or by his not coming to go away after he has come to stay for a while. Oh, how well it is with the man who can deny himself, oh, how well! Only one like that truly tastes from the joy of life fully. However, if self-denial does not have in its dough the love from God and a loving spirit of people, it can be brought to shame when tested. That is why one always needs teaching over those that are good for man and over his faith, as man is not able to make his own faith, but only the tests of his faith proves it, and then he can prove his love and his steadfastness, lest it may happen to the faithful one as to the elder son from the parable of the father with two sons, the parable, which has to be well and churchly analyzed on this Sunday, as the elder son was deeply sorrow because of the joy in his father’s house on the day when his brother came back for mercy, repenting from his wandering away. Oh, it is not hard for man to sacrifice himself and to sacrifice himself with all his things, by everything he is, but if he does not know what kind of flavor to give to his commitment and what kind of self-denial to give, behold, he gives himself away without love, when this is put to test in man. Oh, the life among those in the world is hard, as it is for those in the world, too, who do not know that there is also other happiness than that, which man knows as happiness. I have always taught you, My people, not to go into the world, son. I do not go into the world any- more. That is why I have been teaching you not to go, for the world empties you of power, then it divests you of your life and then of your faith, as everywhere there are servants dressed in sheep skins and they stay at the crossroads and are paid to look out for you on your way and to punish you by stripping you off the garment of your faith in My coming of today as word on the earth, and I have always descended upon you as word and I have always taught you the work of obedience, because I have left much instruction into your midst to listen to it, My son, and then for you to be added to the number of the sons of obedience, for this table always needs to have sons, set apart for God, sitting at it, always for sanctification, and I painfully see how much some of them struggle to depart from those that are required earnestly to be known by those who have set apart for Me, the holy One, for I spoke to those who have set apart for Me: «Be holy for I am holy!» Oh, Christian who struggle to take the liberty of walking alone into the world and to having desires that divest you of your watch for God; oh, son, on this way, you have to pay attention to your walking, and you need self-denial. Sometimes, I have tried to sneak in with the things that I have to tell those who do no longer want to stay as My church, but they have got their own rest while I am not at rest from their life that has come out of My guidance and which has been stuck to decaying pillars, which are not from among those that I have set apart, and I, the Lord, stand and gaze with those that I have set for guidance, watchmen that I have empowered with watching from heaven for the steps and the life of My people that I have chosen, as the Christians are not used to liking the watching upon them, they are not used to liking and taking after Me, Who do not make any steps, Who do not do have any desires that is not from the Father and which is not given to Me by the Father in order to carry out and fulfill them under His great glory and in His whole light and Mine. Oh, here it is why the Christian, who has been walking with Me years in a row, was not able to take part at the table of the new Passover; the Christian, who has been taking Me 2
