            The Word of God[1] at the feast of the Saint hierarch Nicholas[2]

God Sabaoth, My Father, sends Me from His right hand side and tells Me to become word and come down on earth, for all come to an end without God and only He remains, and He makes them all new by His word. Amen.

I am coming down to you, people of My word and I am bringing those that are in heaven at My table with you, who celebrate the hierarch Nicholas on this day, the one full of humility on earth and in heaven, the one full of grace, who became known on earth and in heaven by the spirit of gentleness and by the power of his faith, and he was rich, for he loved poverty for himself and gathered many riches for the poor and shared with them, and even more he shared faith and humility and a spirit of repentance too, for he who shares from heaven has fruit in those who receive from him.

Well My people, you should teach all that I give you to bring forth fruit in you, fruit from heaven and for heaven, as happy is the one who gathers from heaven and in heaven, because those from heaven come back to heaven together with those who bring forth fruit from them and they share it on the earth to give forth heaven on earth, heaven in the people’s hearts, that would not be able to come near the heaven with their love if they had no one to show the way and its fruit to them.

Oh, on this day I am teaching you the mystery of a beautiful gift and you should work it to your richness from heaven. Take care of the work of thankfulness, son. Remain in obedience with great love, with great thankfulness for those who help you and take care of your spirit and your work for Me, which is earned in heaven as your possession, where the moth and the worm do not spoil it; they do not come to have life in order to spoil it in heaven. You have to know what the mystery of thankfulness is worked with, because if you do not know, you do not love it and you do not become pleased to God, worthy before Him, as the saints are worthy in the eyes of God.

Oh, there is great beauty to see thankfulness in the man’s work on the earth! You could have not been what you are by yourselves and what you have to be if you were not supported, not helped or taught by someone who gives you from heaven. There are many on the earth who prove their thankfulness towards someone who helps them from heaven, with those in heaven, as there is much heaven on earth which can be given to the people with the richness of his gifts if there is someone to share with those who stay far from God, the Treasurer, and there are also many who come back to bring thankfulness and who bring themselves to the place where they have received help. 

Oh, My people, I wait much thankfulness from you with respect to those who help you to be My people, for you do not see Me, but you see those between Me and you, whom I set before you for your life, for the food of your faith in Me, for the food of your love for Me, for the nourishing of your obedience to God, for the mystery of your salvation from sin to be holy and not sinful. Oh, how many gifts you receive! Oh, how thankful you must be and you should learn to be so! This wisdom is above everything, and everyone who does not have it at work is a Lucifer, and he falls into Lucifer’s sin, who had no longer obeyed his Creator and arose against Him and thus he lost all his brightness and turned black, for had forgotten the work of his thankfulness with respect to the One Who gave him his being and against Whom he stood by his disobedience to God, because he listened to man and has no longer looked at Me to see from Me and not from man.

Oh, take care, sons! Thankfulness needs to have his whole face and its work in you. You are nothing without it; man means nothing if he does not have in his conduct and in his heart the proof of his thankfulness to the one who helps him to be Mine, to remain Mine. Only the one who does not want to remain Mine, only that one does not keep his thankfulness and its work with respect to the one from whom he takes the Lord over his life.

Oh, sons, the sin of his ungratefulness is very, very ugly when it makes its way with its work in man visibly. No one needs to have lesser work than the one from whom he has got it to share for work. When you see someone who takes a man into his service so that this man may not be without service, and when you see that he does not do more than the one who has taken him into his service, then it is the sin of ungratefulness in him; it is the sin of haughtiness that likes to stay in man and turns the man into a devil. Those who do not serve with faithfulness and with a holy and dear sacrifice under those who guide their days and the nights and watch over their life, they do not feel their haughtiness, they do not have faithfulness and do not have thankfulness for the one who is over them, and they are not great if they do not know what greatness is as the prophet Daniel knew, who knew how great he was supposed to be in his service in order to serve with faithfulness in the administration of the king, where he was a slave and not a son; however you, on the contrary, you are sons, you are My sons, and each son either serves his father with great faithfulness, or he withdraws from his service because of his lack of faithfulness, and then he goes and spends his life in debauchery until the time comes when he reaps the fruit of his wandering away from his conduct and from his ministering in the house of his father.

Oh, woe to the parents who do not teach their children to serve in their house more than their parents, for they have nowhere to learn from the work of thankfulness to those who gave them life and have taken care of them! Woe to these, and woe both to the parents and to the children as well, for behold, this is the face of this world, which is corrupted from head to toe, and woe to those who tear down each other’s strongholds, for they are built on the sand, as it is written by those who build themselves on the sand.

Oh, sons, this is a day of holy teaching upon you. You have as your teacher on this day the life and the works of the hierarch Nicholas, who had received gifts from Me and shared them in secret lest someone may want to exalt him on earth, for all those who are exalted by the people are not worthy, just as those who serve them are not worthy as well. Oh, keep away as from death from the joy that comes from the love around for you, because the man on earth does not deserve anything but only God for the forgiveness that comes from Him upon man, for man is sinful and he needs to give thankfulness to God and he always needs repentance before Him. He who does not give great thankfulness to God and to his fellowmen and especially to those who guide his steps and his life, that one loves sin and lives in the sin of the lack of his thankfulness and he stays recklessly in this sin. Oh, how can such a man be beautiful, oh, such corruption in man? How can the one without My instruction upon him, inside and outside of him, be beautiful? When man goes to the shrine or to the grave of a holy man, then he proves his gratitude to his benefactor, who took him out of darkness and out of sicknesses and out of many troubles and worries and then he goes and bows and believes what he does, and after that he wants to be like his benefactor. Oh, behold an example to learn from this. However, the most beautiful gratitude belongs to his benefactor upon him who put on him the fruit of the work of thankfulness, the fruit of obedience and the fruit of sacrifice before the one who gave him ministry and salvation by it and good conduct in his behavior full of holy fruit, full of the virtue of thankfulness.

It is a day of the feast of saints and you have to give holy gifts to My people, oh, bishop celebrated among the saints on this day, for this is the work I have given to you, and you have not asked Me to pay for it, for you were My son and not a servant, and you loved to be thankful to your Creator.

Sons, sons, those who listen are not those who command; they are not those who want their will to be made. You should get this teaching now. Amen.

— I was a teacher for those who believed in You and for those who were gentle like me and for those who loved to bring their will under control; I was their help and their shepherd towards You, oh, Lord and Teacher. I have taught them their thankfulness to You, the One Who are the Treasurer of the good things to the salvation of men and to their wisdom.

You have prepared the rank of bishop over my head with great miracles and I had always been thankful for this great work You had put upon me with miracles, seen and understood by many at that time, but, oh, I could not, I could not bear the honor from people; I could not bear it because I was very much afraid to stand face to face with You, great Lord, for only You are the glorified One, only You. I hid as much as I could the work of my grace from You, because I could not receive those that You and only You deserve and have.

I helped those who were poor and needed it and I saved them from heavy sin and I did as much as I could for man before you, for You ordained me to tend Your flock on earth, and to tend it incessantly.

I tell, Lord, I tell to all the bishops on earth that they do not know what they had to work, since they do not work as I worked before You with the work of the grace of bishop, and I tell them that they need much, much repentance, very much, as they have stolen so much of Your glory from the people for themselves, and they were not and are not afraid to do this work of Lucifer and take of Your glory for themselves, when man deserves nothing but much repentance, for he is sinful.

Oh, why Lord, why man forgets that he is a sinner? If man did not forget this, he would be awake for his answer
