2014.03.02
It is written on this day by a churchly order the Sunday of Adam’s expulsion from par-
adise, for the man to walk up to his coming near to God and that he may not lose the Lord, as
man lost God in the beginning; he lost Him by the sin of his disobedience, but first he lost Him
by the sin of haughtiness and then by disobedience, as only the proud one cannot listen to God,
because his pride is sin against God.
The man who does not love the Lord is a proud man who listens to himself. The proud
one is known; he is known by self-love, by self-obedience, and then his works expose him, just
as the work of disobedience exposed Adam. And on this day the holy fathers put a holy
order in the beginning over the church and they wrote for man to start with seven weeks
of fasting and to prepare for the resurrection, to get used to the waiting for the resurrection
and to work for it, as man needs resurrection.
Oh, man has to submit, as he did not submit in the beginning and because of his disobe-
dience the first man died, and now man has to work his resurrection by his submission before
the Lord and he has to fast, as he did not listen to do that.
Oh, man, your mistake has to be corrected. Your disobedience brought about your fall
from heaven, and now we have to go back. You listened to the woman and no longer listened
to God. When man is drawn to the woman, it is because the woman is drawn to man because
of his disobedience to God and to his obedience to the woman. Oh, come and wake up, man!
The little angels between heaven and earth fly and work to help you to give up sinning and to
pass from the flesh into the spirit, for your flesh does not serve you at anything but only to your
separation from God, man.
Behold, the time of fasting is coming to the man’s help. Fast from sin, oh, sons of men!
Fast from your flesh, for the flesh draws the man away from God; it draws him to the things
of the flesh. Be calm in your heart and face lest the devil may rejoice over your proud fasting.
Be mysterious between you and God, for God gives grace only to those who are humble.
The man built by My hand in the beginning cries; he cries before Me and here it is what
he tells Me:
— Lord, Lord, please receive my prayer again for every man, oh, Lord. Let man be
good, but help him to be so, for the woman was the man’s fall from paradise, and today it is the
same, and man can manage without God, but he cannot manage without his woman as well, for
the woman has replaced God in man’s soul. This is what happened to me, and You came into
my way and rebuked me because of this, but I became stiff-necked as a reward against me for
the sin of my pride, Lord. Oh, the desire for greatness makes man small, but man does not know
this but only if someone tells him. My expulsion from paradise happened after I had listened to
the woman, after I had had a woman for my soul.
Let man fast from woman, oh, Lord, and the woman has to be wilder, sourer, colder by
this, and less, Lord, for the woman appears as being near with all those around her, and the
man’s power grows less and less with respect to the grace from above.
Oh, let the woman get used to God and the man will get used to God as well. Let her
give to the Lord all her love, and let her not give it to herself or to the man, and the man will
do the same; however, help him for this fulfillment, oh Lord.
