The Word of God in Romania 2015.03.22 - The word of God on the fourth Sunday

2015.03.22.
The word of God 1 on the fourth Sunday of the Lent, of the devout John of the
Ladder and the feast of the holy forty martyrs from Sebaste 2
With great longing I am putting down My word into the book and the more of My
speaking, the more My longing grows to speak and I am full of longing and full of word of
longing. Oh, and I want My word to be desired by many to the same extent because I want
many to eat of it and to keep their soul in heaven, as I, the Lord, keep Mine on earth after each
man, after each soul, and I would also like with longing to be the love of God on earth, and the
love of those who love to remain in heaven, for the heaven is the homeland of love because
there it is gathered, there it gathers for those who love. Oh, happy are those who have the Lord
as their love, for only this love keeps its everlasting fruit; only it can bring to man the whole
joy, which will remain as a dear reward for those who love the Lord.
I am writing down My word into the book, My love for man. He who loves Me waits
for Me; he seeks Me, he finds Me and he keeps Me for him, his love, and he who does not love
Me does not seek after Me and stays far, far from Me in his desire, and I know that man is weak
without God in his mind, in his heart, and I want to be found and then sought by man, for the
life without God has no path, and it goes only through the thorns.
Once with this day of Sunday, the fourth from the Lent, and once with the church me-
morial of the saint and devout John of the Ladder, according to name he received for the reve-
lation left on earth of the spiritual ascent, which he called it ladder, and behold, on this very day
the synod of the suffering martyrs in the lake of Sebaste, those, who, after three hundred years
from My resurrection, confessed the Lord as the Master of their souls, for they were required
by rulers of the Roman army to give an answer and to choose between Christ and the honors of
the Roman soldiers, and they chose the Lord and the confessing sufferance with a great echo
because they endured for their faith, for their choice, and were fully praised for their love.
Oh, how much has been laid down at the foundation of My church to be in men then!
Oh, how many martyrs have showed over time that God is above all that man can receive, oh,
and how little faith on earth is, how little search after the Lord in man is! Behold what the
lack of wisdom does! People perish one by one because of the lack of wisdom. He who does
not have fear of God that one has no master as well, he has no hope, no protection and passes
naked in time, he passes as he has never been, but the name of those who love the Lord con-
fessing Him, remain as great names, names praised in heaven and on earth, and their memorial
is eternal as there is their heavenly life after that.
I am glad and I get comforted when I speak My word and when it is shared, wanted and
loved, then I rejoice very much and I comfort My longing, and My saints rejoice under the glory
of My word when I come with them to speak and to be set into the book in order to the shared
and confessed then.
Oh, people on earth, listen to the voice of My word, before which the heavenly armies
go, that make My glory and work. Oh, come near and listen, for the Lord is speaking to you.
I want to rebuke you gently because of your disobedience to the holy customs, as so few, oh,
