2012.03.25 - The Word of God on the fourth Sunday of the Lent, of the saint devout John of the Ladder by Lord Jesus (best non fiction books of all time TXT) 📖

fast and prayer and with time for these, this is how are supposed to travel to heaven those who use the ladder which I built with my word full of longing after the man’s coming to You from the turmoil of the world, and I thank You for all those who will listen to the whole word that I left written on the earth for those who may travel to You the way I travelled, and I left it in this way written on the earth[3].

 

Oh, glory to You because you build saints from among people in the way of the people so that they may see the way of the saints and walk in it! Glory to You, Good Shepherd, for the spirit of Your working spirits is spirit of Your Spirit of merciful Shepherd for those who let themselves be shepherded by Him to heaven on earth! Amen.

 

— My glory with you on the earth, oh, My beloved saints, was nourished by your love which is complete for Me from you, for you have given to Me with obedience, and your submission has taught you obedience. Everyone who wants to learn this ladder, the obedience for his growth, let that one build total submission for himself to those who want to listen, for no one can listen if he does not submit his being to the work of obedience and for obedience with love. If someone does not listen, than he needs someone to show him in order to know and then to listen, for this saint, John of the Ladder, once fell under the calumny of those whose soul he had under his caring hand for them, and then for a long time he had not done anything of what they said that was not good at him, and then he withdrew his strong hand upon them in such a way that he showed them his submission and obedience by doing this, and then they were terrified seeing the great damage that came from the lack of the teaching and watching upon them done by their teacher, and they repented and were corrected and then they left their mind, which led them to murmuring against the master for their souls, for counseling them.

 

Oh, My people, submission means love, and without love man displays only his stubbornness and the word of his mouth and mind, or his lack of speaking, which is the same, a stubborn spirit. Oh, the gift of the holy teaching is great, and you should love this gift more than any other gift, for man cannot have a greater gift than God’s love, which is worked by the submission with obedience, and you have to be filled with this gift, for I am whole into your midst, whole, but perfected by its wholeness, just as I also like you to be; however, always wholly dedicated to Me on your behalf in such a way I may be full of gifts from you, and that We may take after one another by what We give and receive, for you are full of all My gifts so that you may have and that you may give to those that do not have, and then also, that you may give Me so that I may have from you on My way with you among the people on earth, oh, son, My people, on whom I am relying now with My coming again from the Father on earth after man. Amen, amen, amen.
