The Word of God about what defiles a man, what enters or what comes out of him
«He said to them, “Are you also without understanding? Do you not perceive that whatever goes into someone from the outside cannot defile that person because it does not go into his heart but into the stomach, and then into the sewer (thus he declared all foods to be clean)[1]?”» (Mark: 7/18–19.)
*
«God also said, ‘Look, to you I give all the seed-bearing plants everywhere on the surface of the earth, and all the trees with seed-bearing fruit; this will be your food. »
(Gen. 1/29.)
*
«God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, ‘Breed, multiply and fill the earth.»
(Gen. 9/1.)
«Every living thing that moves will be yours to eat, no less than the foliage of the plants. I give you everything, but you must not eat flesh with life, that is to say blood, in it.» (Gen. 9/3–4.)
What defiles a man, what enters or what comes out of him?

… Behold my flowers, the holy prudes, holy martyrs, armies of angels, holy martyr virgins now come and sing to you. Well children, well children with your heart full of joy, oh, well my flowers! I am glad for you and for your joy as well, for in this night of plagues and debaucheries it is only you that pleased me. Oh, I sit and cry, as the earth is full of grave sins which have been done this night, debaucheries worse than in Sodom and Gomorrah; drunkenness, murders, abortions. I cannot look down on my earth. I cannot look because of the transgressions horror. The body laid hold of the soul, for a lustful and bloated body is a dead soul. Oh beloved, food and self-indulgence brought the man Adam out of Eden. Food and disobedience and immorality will fill the hell.

Here is what I say to you: “I went to a dance hall and I found a sleeping demon; he had no work to do with anyone as all were his. I went into a church and from the door to the altar there were many demons with all kinds of evils; enmity, pride, libation, debauchery thoughts, tobacco. I found the priest smoking at the altar. But you, children do not judge, that there is someone to judge them.”
Oh, well my children, I have not come to destroy and tell you lies. I have come to tell you to love one another. Oh, your Father looks at you and does not find pleasant souls among you to accomplish the place in heaven. Here, the places are waiting for you and there is none to occupy them. Look, a Christian says that he cannot but eat meat.

… The day comes when for a meal you stay out of the garden, for Adam was driven out of the garden for a meal. See about the food on forbidden days. Why do you eat fish on forbidden days? Why do you say that not what enters a body defiles a man, but that what comes out of his mouth defiles it? Oh, how you will cry bitterly! But there will be late!
Oh, children quit tobacco, for tobacco is from the devil. Well children, I have sown wheat but the devil has sown tobacco. Here, he surpassed me for many would give bread for tobacco. Mind yourself for you will not get out of the hell if you get into it with all these that you are doing, for there will be no one to save you.
… Your Father is crying, the One who created the earth and all that can be seen on it for man, and now there is no fruit, there is no dance, there is no contentment and joy, there is no hope; all are sad. Do you know why there is no fruit? There are only dead children instead of fruit. The land and waters have been defiled because of so many things done on it. They have become worse than those who have no law that is the heathens.
… I have come down to the wheat field with the twelve apostles and I found a part of wheat and three parts of tare. Here is what the devil has done: he has sown tare and left. Who is it to be blamed: the sower or the keeper? Oh, brothers, the keeper. Stay away of all that is after Satan’s will and take care one another! Be on vigil!
… Father built a prayer house and the devil a dance hall. Father made a vine and wine; the devil made a brandy boiler, and brandy made him, for many put the grapes into it and turn into brandy. My Father has sent prophets to proclaim the seasons, and the devil has made the radio and speakers. Look, who says that brandy is not from the devil will not see God’s face.

Here is another sin: man left the bread and feeds on fire. I made myself a dove and I met a man on the way who said to another: “Give me a light, as I have not eaten bread since yesterday, but I cannot abstain from tobacco.”

… Someone keeps saying, “I do not want children any more. I have got four.” But why not just say, “I will sleep in another bed?” Look, however I will put it, is still not good for you, Christian. Intercourse between man and woman was for the birth of sons and not for lust. Oh, the animals got ahead of man. Only if my teaching would be appreciated by Christians, for I cannot say this thing to the heathens. Brother and sister, may God forbid child conceiving in your womb out of your lust that you have. Do not be upset that that I tell you, but this child will be always sick, mischievous, for someone asks, “Why the child is sick or bad?” Oh, you have not thought at Lord, Jesus Christ, but only to satisfy your desire. If death is to come at that moment, it will be hard for you. I am ashamed of this sin. Be frightened of this thing. I have commanded to unburden the women’s arms and they said that it is him that cannot do it. Brothers, whoever is a Christian let him work according to my command. Who is not a Christian, let him work according to his own will.

The greedy man at all breaks God’s building. Greed is the evil spirit. Son, Christian, fast to lose your desire and ask God for temperance of your body! Christian, you get up at night and you cannot say your prayer, but can do other bad things and the whole hours pass this way. Young man, my eyes hurt me looking at your sins. Oh, only if you were the one who keeps heaven and earth in his hand. Oh, what great pain!
… I have wonderful words, but whom shall I give them? You say that you are Christian, but you do not leave the bottle from your hand. You know that you are a driver and you do not drink as you get off your job, but from the Kingdom of God will you not be driven out? From your job you do not miss an hour for you get fired, but are you not afraid that you will be driven out from the garden of God when you miss?
… How nice it is in the city! It writes taproom, tobacconist, food store, only death it is not written, but death is written in another language. Do not rise against Me, as you have the right to say that I did not tell you that it is written death. It is not sin to buy, but buy only what you need. Blessed are those in the city if you do not touch your little clothes with this pitch.

… Woe to the man who became an innkeeper. Woe to the man who sells meat in the fasting days, who sells drink in the fasting days! Sons, a man will come and say, “This prophetic word is a liar”. But I say take heed for the earth will open itself and swallow this man and many of you will fall, for he will come and say the same into his bed as My vessel through which I speak, and will speak against My work and My working and there will be great war.

Make prayers. Sons, your fathers and ancestors made prayers in songs. Daughters and sons, where are your melodies? The book of Lord, Jesus Christ says, “Sing a holy song”, for the taprooms roar with wordly songs. I met on My way a man who sang, “I got a penny and I want to drink it!”

… Open your heart, because otherwise the fire comes from Sodom and Gomorrah. For tomorrow morning you will see as your house burns and as all your cattle run away with terror with fire on their back. (See the selection topic: „The apocalyptic fire”, r.n.) Take a good look for all those that you see naked and talking with guys, you will not see them anymore, for these have brought the end on earth. Sons, do not let these things to enter in your houses. Do not let fire to enter in your house. Let God see the sign at your window to escape. And if in your house you let your daughters to be naked and your sons as those in Sodom, of the world, then you will not get away, you and your house and your cow and your things will burn.
… Not even when I was on the cross, was I so sad as I am today. Sons, I do not give you brandy. Brandy is from the devil. I give you grapes but drink with measure. I have given you the plum as a fig, not to boil and turn it into brandy. Little children, behave yourselves and do not spoil the things of the Lord. Woe to you plum tree for you yielded the plum and you were turned into brandy. I speak spiritually. Listen carefully and buy wisdom if you do not have it. But you buy only pigs, cows and horses. Buy wisdom too. For you worship both God and the evil spirit. You fast but at the same time you lie. You do charity but you steal as well.
Nothing on earth can save you on the day of judgment. The earthly judgment does not resemble with the heavenly one. Heavenly witnesses and lawyers do not receive lots of money, but take you on the basis of the book instead. They do not overlook anything. It is only the Blessed Virgin Mary who is merciful, for this is why the mystery is done on earth, so that she may pray for you to have her as an intercessor. That is why I say to you; do not commit any more sins!

My little children, why have you turned your mouth and your throat into a mouth of smoke? Do not burn your mouth anymore, Christian, for all will be forgiven, but this will not be forgiven, as no one is to save you. Pride came on all so that they may smoke, both man and women. Look carefully for what is today in the world is the destruction of this world, for what does man commit, there has not been since the age. What is today! What is today? It speedily brings the fire and judgment.

This little bird entered the crows and eats what the crows eat, she eats even carrions. Now she eats carrions for she is with crows. I have seen once how a flood of crows came from abroad on earth, a large flock, and I was with Peter, My friend. And the crows found a foul carcass and they sat on and ate it. And Peter said, “Oh, Lord, such a food do these crows eat?” And I said, “So do they eat for crows are crows.” And I told him that these crows are the humankind of today, which eats what does not know, meat of humans too, dog, cat and mouse. (They are put into sausages and other “meat products,” r.n.) Then they found that foul carcass in the field, but now this carcass is in the stores. Christian, keep this hidden so that the world may not realize that you know it. And then Peter put his hand to his mouth and wept bitterly. And I said, “So will it happen with My servants too.”
I have spoken many times, “Do not eat things if you do not know where they are from. Eat only things made by yourselves!”
… Christians, what are you doing? If I were to tell you everything, all, the end will come to Me. What are you doing? Some of you eat and others mourn; some of you shiver with cold and others, with seven clothes on them too; some of you pray and some others revel and gorge themselves.

Where it is written holy day, this is written by Lord, Jesus Christ and it is put to be observed. Do not break it, if your head were at your feet, for if you break it, you will be numbered among the defiled bones; if you break it, you will be numbered among the dead; if you break it, you will be numbered among the damned; if you break it, you will hear the words: “Go away from Me into the eternal fire!” That is why I called you to Me and I told you to keep the law of God.

Why do you eat fire? It is heard from heaven that some Christians sit at the table with pagans who eat fire. It is heard from heaven when man says, “Friend, give me a light,” and his friend gives him gladly a light. He has made heaps of fire on earth. This is man’s earning on earth, fire, which soon will burn everything. Israel, if I were in your place, I would drown because of what is ahead of you, I would burn of what is in your hand. Israel, because of your iniquity which reached its peak, will perish. Run today! Israel, run away from fire, run! Seek, for you spirit is not dead yet; he is somewhere in life. Go and seek him and make peace with him. Ask him to receive and forgive you and the angel to sit at your right hand, for the angel proclaims wilderness which torments you. Israel, My people, eat manna from God, so that your spirit may be healed, your spirit and your body to be healed. Eat manna, for only with bread and meat and fire lives man today, who has estranged himself from God. Oh, holy image, why have you defiled yourself and made you abhorred of God?

… Here, today, man only when he sleeps does not eat. Otherwise, he eats and drinks all the time. Man’s gluttony of today took him in everything to judgment. Who will be the condemnatory of man? Sin and the father of sin. God measured with a good extent how to eat and how long to sleep, how long to work and how much to rejoice. Everything has its own measure, but you spoiled the right measure and turned it into a wrong one. Listen, for I speak truly; woe to the one who spoiled the right measure that God made for your future! If you had taken God’s measure, you would have not been sick, you would have not been the way you are today and you would have been in a great heaven. Make peace with God, you too sick man and healthy man as well. Make peace with God and fix your mistake. Wipe away your fault so that it might not be found out on the day of judgment, for if a group of Christians are found today living a good life on earth, all family will be repaired, the one that you have on earth and the one that you have damned.

Lord, Jesus Christ said, “Let the Christian lady not have her head uncovered, let her not show her bare leg and let her not wear high or sharp heels.” And this led to a great war between them and I. Now I say nothing. I close My mouth and swallow, for it is My turn, but later on there will be your turn, for you will swallow until you swell and crack and you will cry but I will not save you. It is hard Christian. It is hard for someone not to obey My teaching. It is hard, hard, son. This is the sufferance of My vessel through which I speak; the disobedience of My people.

I have sent heavenly word over to My people and I told, “Let the Christian come back to the food from Eden so that he may stay alive and be holy.” So I have worked with you, you people chosen from the world, and I have brought you news one by one, in an easy way, lest you find it hard. And when the way was wider, I was calling and telling you that the time was coming for the door to be narrow when you were to enter into the glory room of God, who will come before you to meet you in the great tribulation. I know as I know and not as you know. I know son, why I ask you this step. I do not want to let it be hard to you when nobody will give you anything any longer, and I want you to be well prepared and ahead of time, so that God may know you and send to you at that very moment heavenly food, the same He gave it to Israel into the wilderness, for I wanted then at all costs to clean the one who was blessed, but he wanted so badly what was on earth and fell off heaven and did not enjoy from what came from heaven. The same is now too; Christian does not enjoy to learn how to come back home and wants it as on earth, but I will make heaven on earth and as in heaven there will be on earth.
… Son, receive My proclamation and feed on those that were given from the beginning as food to My creature, for I want to put an end to the spirit of the flesh, with your worldly spirit in you. You see well that the flesh lusts against the Spirit and the Spirit against the flesh. Let the spirit overcome son, let your spirit be stronger than your body, for what comes out of the body, it is body, and what comes from the spirit is spirit. I have blessed as you said and I said let it be eaten, if man ate, but from the beginning it was not so. In the beginning I made the man and I breathed life without death, and man did not listen to Me and knew death and died. But I want to give him back the life without death and the youth without old age, and this is the work to which God wants to reach.

Now is the end of the time of the last age; it has come to the end and you have to live as those in the first century lived, that is to eat vegetables from your garden and fruits from your fruit-trees. This is how one lives now if he wants to live forever, if you want Me to pass you over the bridge and through the narrow little door.

May the food for the body, and the heavenly one, be blessed and through blessing. And it is not said: „Good appetite!” at the table, as the appetite took the man out from the table of the heaven, and rather it is said: „Blessed it is the table and may its food be from heaven!” And we will go forward then with the word about angels into this day of celebration.

The man, who kills the life of a body to eat the body of the killed, commits death and that one eats the body killed by him, and the death is taken from the belly. Here is what the man does: he feeds the body that is prepared for the death; he feeds pigs, birds and cattle, and works for their food, and then finishes his work and kills the animal or the speechless bird, and the man becomes a grave; a grave for what he kills, and the man says that he is alive, but he is with death into his belly; as the egg turns into meat, and from meat it comes out an egg, and from meat it comes out milk, and I spoke to the man at the clean beginning, to feed himself on the belly prepared for the food of the man, from the ground, from those that grow on the earth, as for this I created those from the beginning so beautifully; to be harmony and work, clean food and joy and holiness. I let everything that is needed to be for the man, but the man changed God’s will. I can no longer teach the man the lesson from the beginning, and behold, I take it over again with you and make out you for a garden of life, for an Eden of a new kingdom, as in the beginning; and you should eat what I tell you, and not do as the man from the beginning, who did not want to do as I told him, and who wanted to taste the death, that is disobedience.
