Spiritual Foundation: (Jesus’ Word, faith, 10 Commandments)

At St. John the Evangelist after Communion I could see a large speaker with the center of the speaker vibrating. Jesus said: “My people, My message today is about hearing the Word of God and keeping it, just as it is stated in the Scriptures. (Matt. 7:24,26) ‘Everyone therefore who hears these My words and acts upon them, shall be likened to a wise man who built his house on rock. And everyone who hears these My words and does not act upon them, shall be likened to a foolish man who built his house on sand.’ My Word gives you a foundation for your faith. You can know all of Scripture verse by verse, but unless you take it into your heart and live it in your life, then they are just words in a book to you. I give you My example of how to live by avoiding sin and avoiding the occasions of sinful places. You cannot improve your sinful lifestyles until you are willing to reform your life and follow My ways. Many like the comforts of their sin to please the body’s desires, but you should be focused on pleasing Me and your soul’s desires. The more Scripture and spiritual reading that you do, the more you will be inspired to live a holy life. This is why during Lent it is good to allot more of your time to improving your spiritual life. When you pray, fast, and give alms, you are denying yourself to do everything for Me. By living a holier life, you can keep yourself on the right path to heaven without any earthly detours. Continue to listen to My Word and keep it.”
