Teaching 176

1 Be strong against the temptations of the world and the flesh Whenever an examination causes you pain, remember my lessons of the Second Time and follow my example.

2 You ask Me how was it possible for Jesus to touch the temptations of the world? To this I answer you that it was not base temptations that afflicted your Master's heart.

3 The body he had in the world was human and sensitive, it was the tool my Spirit used to bring my teachings to mankind. He knew the trial that awaited him because my Spirit revealed it to him, and that material side of his being suffered from the pain that awaited it.

4 I wanted that body to give you those signs of humanity so that you might be convinced that my pain was real and my sacrifice as a man true.

5 If it had not been so, my sacrifice would have had no value in the eyes of men. Therefore, Jesus called three times on the power of my Spirit, which animated him to triumph in the hard trial: The first time was in the desert, the second time in the olive garden, the third time on the cross.

6 It was necessary that I became man and gave you my

body and my blood, so that the pain that people would inflict on it would be effective in that body. If I had come in Spirit ─ what sacrifice would I have made for you? What would I have renounced, and what pain could you have let me feel?

7 The divine Spirit is immortal, he knows no physical pain. But the flesh is sensitive to pain, it is limited in its abilities, is mortal by nature. Therefore I chose that means to reveal myself to the world, and to offer it my real sacrifice to show you the way to your salvation.

8 Remember that passion while you are sinners and remember that blood so that you may purify yourselves in repentance of your transgressions and try to follow Me in that example of boundless love I gave you

9 As long as you are human beings, remember me on that cross ─ forgiving my executioners, blessing and healing them, so that in all your hard way of life you may also bless those who hurt you and do all possible good to those who have done evil to you. The one who acts in this way is my disciple, and I tell him in truth that his pain will always be only short, because I will let him feel my strength in the moments of his trial.

10 Very few are those who strive to teach their brothers and sisters through the examples of the Master. In this community, as in the majority of religious communities, teaching is given through words that have no power because they lack confirmation through works and examples of love.

11 Now you have the opportunity to hear the interpretation of my teaching, which is gradually wearing away your heart until it is prepared to carry out the mission I have entrusted to your Spirit

12 Do not be afraid to follow my steps, for I will not ask anyone to do the same in my sacrifice I also have to tell you that only that body emptied the cup that my Spirit handed to it ─ another man would not have drunk it. For my body received life and strengthened itself in the virtue and purity of those who offered their womb to receive it: Mary.

13 Meditate, people, and make use of this blessed silence in which you enter when you hear my teachings. Verily, I tell you, in those moments of contemplation and spirituality, my seed will germinate in your hearts.

14 On this day you will achieve unity and peace among your hearts to show yourselves before Me as one being who is aware of the event he is attending when he hears my word through a voice bearer And I receive your Spirit. Everything that you offer me purely and simply in your prayer and in your ritual acts, I accept as a just tribute of the children for their heavenly Father.

15 The most urgent request you make is that there should be peace in this world, that the patriarchal life of other times should return to men; but I tell you that that peace will only return when you, my new disciples, have laid the foundations of a new world for which I am training you

16 If you see in every neighbour a brother, if you abandon their different judgments and love Me in them, you will see the dawn of a new time Life will then be cheerful for man, and I will be recognized and loved as father.

17 My word in this time is the same as that which I gave you in Jesus. It is the same crystal clear stream that refreshed your souls when you followed Me through the landscapes of Palestine. Its essence is known to you, you will never be able to confuse its "taste" because its divine seal remained imprinted in your Spirit. And now that I have come down to make myself known through these men and women, and you hear the word that comes from their lips, you recognize that it can only come from me, and you ask me why I did not choose another form to let my message of this time reach mankind.

18 You tell me that there are no men of impeccable virtue among you who are able to serve me There is no Moses, nor the prophets of the First Times, nor Peter or John. But truly, I tell you, at all times I have sent virtuous spirits, and among them are these who have humbly served Me. Love and support them, for their task is very great. I have kept their minds and hearts as a pure source, and often pain has been the best means to purify them. Her life is similar to that of my messengers of other times. I bless her. Bless them who have followed me in this way and have felt the full meaning of the office I have given them.

19 I invite you to enter my kingdom, O beloved people. Likewise I call all nations of the earth without any preferential treatment; but I know that not all will hear me. Humanity has put out its lamp and walks in darkness. But there, where one perceives only confusion, one of my enlightened ones will appear, who spreads light in his surroundings ─ a spiritual watchman, who watches and awaits my sign to let the wake-up call sound, which awakens and stirs up his fellow men.

Allow the love of those messengers to be fruitful seed in your hearts. Do not misjudge them when they show themselves to you in material poverty; listen to them, for they work in my name to give you a power of authority which you do not yet know. They will teach you perfect prayer, will free you from the bonds of materialism to which you are bound, to give you spiritual freedom and that you may rise to Me.

20 You who hear Me eagerly await the fulfillment of all my words. You want to see mankind transformed into my disciples, ask me to be among those whom I send with difficult missions to other countries. But truly, I tell you, you must first train yourselves, because the struggle that awaits you is great.

But not all the emissaries of whom I speak to you are among you, nor have all heard my word through voice bearers. Many, many of them will speak intuitively because I have prepared them spiritually. I have distributed them wisely to let my light reach all your brothers and sisters.

21 How can you suppose that ─ while I came down to you ─ I could neglect other nations when you are all my children? Do you think that anyone is far away or outside of Me even though my Spirit is universal and encompasses all created things? Everything lives and feeds on Me. This is why my Universal Ray has descended upon the whole globe, and the Spirit has received my influence in this world and in others, for I have come to save all my children.

22 I do not want you to waste this time, to go through the world without leaving a trace on your life path, but to be true nurturers of the seed I am entrusting you with, and for which you will continue to strive when you leave this world until you make your seed blossom in the soul of your brothers and sisters.

23 I do not want to bind you to my orders; I only inspire you to do so, for I will not accept any other fulfilment than that which is born from your conscious and prepared soul. Be free within the limits of my laws, but get used to obedience. Fulfill the two laws that govern man, which are one in essence, because both come from Me.

24 Pray for all beings, long for harmony and understanding of all towards Me, and that your prayer may soar up like a song, like a jubilant hymn that lifts up souls and shows them the way by which they will reach the goal of their destiny

25 My teaching lets man develop in all aspects of his being: it sensitizes and ennobles the heart, awakens and deepens the mind, and perfects and uplifts the soul.

26 Make of my teaching a thorough study that enables you to understand the right way of exercising my teachings, so that your development may be harmonious; so that you may not only develop the mind without striving for the ideals of the soul, which you are to inspire

27 All the faculties of your being can find in my words the luminous path by which they can grow and perfect themselves to infinity.

28 I have given you sufficient time to receive my teachings in you and to understand them. It is now the case that many of you who once came as children are now adolescents, just as others who came as adolescents are now adults. Some of you have grown in this way and are now my "workers", and others have breathed their last breath and now have their place among my chosen ones.

29 I have given this people enough time for a firm and true faith to be born in them, and for them to gain in their Spirit a deep knowledge of my work. My word prepares you for the time when you will no longer hear this voice, and you will have to concentrate on the innermost part of your heart to feel my presence and receive my inspiration.

30 My teaching is written in your conscience; there is the ark that best preserves my law, so that ─ when time passes, and these hours of spiritual refreshment that you spent with your Master, ─ the essence of my Word will vibrate full of life in your soul, imbued with love and wisdom

31 In all my teachings you will discover that I am telling you unceasingly that you shall reach spiritualization because it is it that shall distinguish you on earth Without spiritualization you will not give your fellow men the testimony that you are to give.

32 Fear not the day when I finish my word among you. My work will not perish, nor will your soul despair. In the spiritual valley I hold ready some beings who will be incarnated on earth to be leaders and prophets of the churches ─ light beings who will teach you to take a step forward on the path marked out by my word.

33 Today I want to tell you that just as you are dependent here on light beings coming from the spiritual world to help you on your way, there are also spiritual homes that are dependent on some of you coming to them with the message of my teaching.

You do not know which of those who hear me in these moments will soon have to leave in fulfillment of a spiritual mission. This is the reason why many hearts have long had to purify themselves, and why with each day that passes, their souls feel more and more enlightened by the light of my teaching.

34 I want you to unite with the spiritual hosts so that through your love for all your brothers and sisters you may work for the salvation of all beings who walk apart from the way of life and truth.

35 Keep this word in your soul, which in the hour of your death, as you leave this existence, can serve you as a preparation for spiritual liberation.

36 Understand what a beautiful time of revelations this has been, beloved people ─ a time of light that lifts up souls! Blessed are those who prepare themselves, for you receive my light in abundance.

37 But remember that these are hardly the beginnings of an era, that not everything has been revealed to you that this time holds in store for men, nor has everything you have received been understood by you.

38. Days, years and centuries will pass in which this mankind will be witnesses of wonderful messages of light and spiritual revelations, which its Spirit has never known.

39. Those times are already coming, and therefore you must prepare the way for those who will take your places. You must bless the way through your good works. Then you will have begun the building of the true temple, which others will continue of their own accord, and later others will come to complete it.

40. I have seen you struggling with your flesh to bring down its recalcitrance. You had to fight great battles with your heart to force obedience and submission from him. His nature rebels against the instructions of conscience; but if you persevere in prayer, if you are mindful, you will make of him the best co-worker in spiritual fulfillment. This struggle is part of your atonement at this time.

41. All your qualities have been in you from the moment you were created. Intelligence, sensitivity, reason have enlightened your soul so that you can fight the final battle. Then, when you have conquered evil and your soul is the pilot that guides the flesh, you will be able to go out to your fellow men and give them a shining example of how to achieve the evolution of the soul. Without boasting of soul strength and self-control, you will show your works, and these will reveal obedience and mindfulness to my law.

42. When you no longer hear my word through the voice-bearers, and your soul feels the desire to obey what I taught you at this time, then let each of my disciples regard the group which is instructed to him as his own family, and teach and lead it.

Always make use of mercy, correct it with love and wisdom, make an atmosphere of peace tangible like the one you have created today, then my Spirit will be tangibly present to inspire and bless everyone.

43. Ask no one where he comes from, nor why he seeks Me Elijah will lead them and his hour will have come. Already today I prepare those who will come and welcome those who believe in this Word which I have given you through the human mind.

44. I am teaching you that you may be the "good taste" of the earth, that you may sweeten the lives of men with the good news that the Master has returned to them in this time of pain and has left his Word as an inheritance for all to feed on and live forever

45. I do not charge you with the complete transformation of this humanity. Bring my word to the hearts with persuasion, and it will do wonders among your fellow men. How much consolation will they receive in their days of affliction when they understand to hear and interpret my teaching! And you, how will you long for these hours which you spent with me and in which you received this divine essence within you, felt like little children, to receive from your Father all his tenderness and love.

46. Humanity today is a fertile field to work in The fields are very wide, and the workers are scarce. How will you present this generation converted to my teaching if you do not work? You have only a limited time, and much is to be done. The hour is favorable. Rebuild the "temples" that were torn down inside the hearts! Help to rebuild homes, preach spiritualization in your way with thoughts, words and works!

47. Watch that virtue returns to men, and that children are a strong bond between father and mother, and young people are a strong foundation for the new generations, the husband and wife are an image of God and His creation, and all, united with the guardian angels who stand by you, form perfect harmony with Me

48. Your petitions come to Me, the light I have radiated enlightens your being All your works are present and you can judge your merits. The pains you are now experiencing will pass away, and peace will shine all over the globe.

49. Pray for the nations that are fighting each other in war. Share your bread and clothing with those who are in need. Open your granaries and give them food. Show your brotherhood in this hour of distress for the world. Practice active charity for the sick, prepare the souls who must depart for the hereafter, raise the faith of the afflicted, bring peace to all your fellow men. Ask, and I will perform miracles among mankind.

50. Your world is full of slaves. That is the reason why a deep longing for freedom lives in every human being. But you must not blame the laws of the Spirit, nor the human ones, but yourselves. For the true law, whether divine or human, must guide, instruct, teach, and protect, but never shackle.

51. Understand that you are not free in Spirit because you ─ far from the divine essence, the law of love for your Father above all created things, love for one another as brothers and sisters in the Creator ─ have made yourselves slaves of religious fanaticism, idolatry and superstition.

52. Neither are you free within the laws of man, because those who were to create justice among men are also affected by the selfishness of the nations, by injustice and lies.

53. The rulers and those who have the commission to lead souls are also children of my divinity. The laws which some and others apply must be human. And yet ─ how distant from one another they walk and live.

54. When will mankind reach the point of "giving to God what is God's, and to Caesar what is Caesar's"?

55. While some are content to do justice only to the norms of the world and to disobey every divine law, others strive for the uplifting of the soul in the ways prescribed by the various religious communities, though they rebel against them in their hearts, and avoid submission to the laws of the earth.

56. Verily I say to you, neither the one nor the other do their duty.

57. Behold the royal star, which is rising daily in the east,

as it shines and warms all alike, without preference for any creature?

58. Such is the love of the Father for all his children, and such should be your love and your righteousness, that my laws may be applied to men in this way.

59. Do you not recognize the perfect harmony that exists between the divine and all that has been created by your heart? Then why can there not also be perfect harmony between men who are children of God?

60. Blessed is he who hears this call and recognizes the time of light in which he lives, for he will be able to progress along the path of spiritual upward development.

61. You are now in the last years, in which you will hear my word, which has been in your life like a spark of my wisdom

62. This teaching will remain written down in books and will be, together with the disciples who really prepare themselves and carry unbreakable faith in their hearts, the living testimony I leave ─ when the hour of my farewell comes ─ to those who did not hear me in this third time.

63. Blessed are those who remain faithful in spite of trials, for they will obtain wisdom and peace.

64. So that everyone can fulfil the task he has received, you must unite in one will, put aside the inertia of your flesh for spiritual teachings, no longer direct your interest only to that which concerns your material life, and think also of your soul.

65. I am eternal life; if you desire to attain it, you need only fulfill my law.

66. The devotion you have within my "hurdle" when you listen to my words, you should also keep afterward, and in your life there should be order, respect, discipline, humility.

67. I enlighten your soul, your mind and your heart, and bring your life into the right direction.

68. I want my teaching to take root in your hearts so that you may not forget it; for you do not know how much you will miss it in the times of battle, nor do you know the time you must remain on this earth. Therefore do good on the basis of my teaching, so that when the Father recalls you ─ ─ this call will not surprise you, but will come to you as good workers.

69. Verily I say to you, this teaching will restore the morality of this world, since it will be a step towards spiritualization; for it will awaken hearts to brotherhood.

70. At present I am still the misunderstood one; for while the common people in their ignorance offer Me fanatical cults, those who are considered learned or powerful say that they are sufficient for themselves

71. How few follow Me!

72. Beloved people, let my word continue to equip you.

73. I give peace to your heart, peace to your home and freedom to your Spirit in the moments when the body gives itself over to sleep

74. Keep this grace and receive my blessing

My peace be with you.
