Greetings to our dear listeners who are following the Voice Of Truth Channel

The new liturgical year's Advent season is almost over, and we are entering the days of preparation to commemorate God's son coming down to earth as a human. God the Father, in His love, sends an important message to all humanity: “God the Father greet you, my child. God the Father speaks to you, listen and tell all humanity: examine yourselves, repent, recognize your sins, and resolve to turn away from sin to be worthy of celebrating the mystery of God becoming man."

Dear listeners, Advent is a time for people to prepare their souls to welcome the Savior by examining themselves, recognizing their sins, so that God can cleanse all the filth that sin carries within them. When people recognize their sins and are determined to repent, God will peel away each layer of Satan and expel them from the human soul and body, so that the human soul and body become pure and beautiful as they were in the beginning when He created them, and so that people become light and free, their eyes of faith and their hearts opened to recognize and understand His immense love in the divine will of creating all creatures: "God looked at everything He had made, and He found it very good. Evening came, and morning followed - the sixth day” (Genesis 1:31)


Being able to examine oneself and repent to recognize sin is a grace that God bestows upon people of all ages, especially today, when Satan is rampant throughout

the earth with fierce Satans or demons that tempt people more subtly, especially Satan who covers their ears and blinds their eyes, preventing them from recognizing sin and avoiding occasions of sin. Over time, they become hardened in sin, losing their sense of sin. 


Therefore, sins pile up, and Satan follows, entering people, piling up layer upon layer, controlling them, and drowning them in sin, displeasing God. Thus offending God. As St. Paul shared:

"For I know that good does not dwell in me, that is, in my flesh. The willing is ready at hand, but doing the good is not. For I do not do the good I want, but I do the evil I do not want. Now if (I) do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me”


“So, then, I discover the principle that when I want to do right, evil is at hand. For I take delight in the law of God, in my inner self, but I see in my members another principle at war with the law of my mind, taking me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members. Miserable one that I am! Who will deliver me from this mortal body?”

" (Romans 7:18-23)


Dear listeners, we must courageously stand up and abandon sin by repenting to God so that He may cleanse us and make us good, holy, and beautiful before God and our brothers and sisters, so that He may grant us the opportunity to recognize sin and resolve to repent from sin and selflessly sacrifice, mortify oneself, and endure suffering and humiliation in order to atone for sins in this life. That is a great grace, that is God's love for humanity so that people may be happy in both this life and the next. So how should one examine oneself to recognize sin? God wants everyone to confront their own heart, their own conscience, and examine themselves through the "Seven Deadly Sins" that God has illuminated for the Church, in the Spirit of the Holy Spirit, teaching and guiding His children.


Firstly, be humble, not proud.

Humility is the first virtue above all virtues. The opposite of humility is pride, and it was because of pride that from the beginning Satan, the Angel of Light, sinned. Because of pride, Satan rebelled against God, demanding equality with God; because of pride, Satan failed to recognize his status as merely a creation, loved and created by God, and disobeyed, falling into sin, displeasing Him, separating himself from Him, and going to the place reserved for him.

God reminds His children that the sin of pride is the root of

all other sins. Because of forgetting their own status, people are immersed in sin, forgetting the One who gives them breath and life, and pursuing worldly things: honor, wealth, and lust, so that they rely on themselves, on human talent and understanding, and lose God.

Who is God? He is the Lord who created all things, He

is the One who rules over everything, over all space and time. If there were no God, there would be no humankind, but people fall into temptation to follow in the footsteps of the fallen angel of old, so that they become proud before God and proud before others, forgetting that they are only dust, only a lowly and imperfect creation that God

the Father created. The Bible records the words of God's good servant, Job: "Naked I came forth from my mother's womb, and naked shall I go back again. The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD!"

Each creature born on this earth represents a degree of God's love and carries a mission that He bestows, which is: to live to love and be loved, to live and bear witness to the love of the Holy Trinity on this earth, just as Jesus came to earth, took on human flesh, became like a human being, and lived as an earthly person. He empathizes with all the sufferings that humanity endures. And He died for the sins of the world - that is love for humanity, and that love continues to this day through the work of the Holy Spirit. God the Father invites all His children to turn towards His Heart, where the presence of God dwells among humanity with boundless mercy.

Grace pours ceaselessly in this place, where people return to repent and fast. To receive God's grace of humility, to recognize sin. Where God Almighty uses man's enemy, Satan, to expose man's sin, uses the tempter to reveal their schemes, making people completely convinced, prostrate themselves, and cry out: "My Lord, my God." And then He heals the wounds, He pours out grace to extend His hand in exorcism and healing for my brothers and sisters.

Therefore, a repentant soul, changing its life, recognizing its sins since the age of reason, having offended God, is a necessary and sufficient condition to be touched and healed by God through the work of God the Father. Here we are given by God the great grace of recognizing our sins, especially the sin of pride, arrogance, conceit, self-satisfaction, self-reliance, and self-centeredness, to know how to humble ourselves, beat our chests in repentance, and ask for God's forgiveness. We are all sinners, so we must examine ourselves daily to dare to face ourselves, to face our conscience and heart that for so many years have been immersed in sin, defeated by Satan, immersed in fame, fortune, and pleasure, have trampled on others, used power to control others, used power to dominate others, used power to cause division, leading to unrest in the conscience of each person, in families, in communities, and in every nation. Deaths, wars, and turmoil stem from pride, arrogance, and complacency, not knowing how to rely on God's power and not fearing God the Father above all things.

Examining ourselves for the sin of pride, we must also examine humility. Have I been truly humble?

And what is humility in essence?

Humility is absolute trust in the power of God the Father,

considering oneself as zero, considering oneself a useless servant of no value;

Humility is knowing only to thank God the Father in all circumstances, seeing all events in life as meaningful for teaching, refining us, so that we may live pleasing to God the Father, always knowing how to open our hearts to receive God the Father's grace, living joyfully and peacefully

in every moment... let's examine ourselves, have we truly been humble?

Have we been as simple as children?

Humility also means becoming like a child: without worry,

without sadness, without thinking, without hesitation, without questioning, only knowing how to give thanks and give thanks in every moment, in every circumstance, joyfully welcoming every moment of life. Conversely, humility is not shrinking like a shrimp, because that is avoiding the truth, that is called weakness, avoiding responsibility, and evading the fulfillment of one's duty. 

Humility in correcting our brothers and sisters: Humility is being allowed to remind our brothers and sisters, to correct them in love, in humility and self-abasement. After reminding them, entrust your brothers and sisters to God the Father. Because our words have no value to change our brothers and sisters, only the Spirit of God can change people's hearts. As for God using you as a prophet to speak, to correct, then you just speak, just correct, but with gentleness and sincere love. After that, step back and entrust everything to God the Father. Because changing that person is God the Father's work, not yours anymore.

Being aware of this will help you not be sad when your sister has not changed, and not be proud when your sister has changed. That is humility because you really are nothing before the change of your brothers and sisters. You only give thanks to God because God changes the hearts of your brothers and sisters, not because of your words.

Why shouldn't you be sad when your brother or sister doesn't change? Because when you are sad, you fall into Satan's temptation of pride, thinking that I must speak in a way that makes my brother or sister change. No, whether they change or not is due to the Spirit of God acting on that person and the light of God the Father transforming that person. It is God the Father who heals that person, not you.

What is gentleness and humility when walking in the work of God the Father?

Gentleness is not speaking harsh, bitter, or unpleasant words, but speaking gentle, kind words that build unity and love. Humility, as mentioned above, is making oneself nothing, having no value before our brothers and sisters. Having no value before our brothers and sisters means no sadness, no joy, no anger, no love, no hate, no greed, no hatred, no delusion.

Dear everyone, God says:

The first sharp weapon to destroy Satan is humility, humility and humility.

With humility comes obedience, with humility comes knowing how to abandon oneself, with humility comes dying to one's ego, dying to the pride within oneself;

With humility comes abandoning one's own will, with humility comes humbling oneself, bowing down to serve one's brothers and sisters;

With humility, one submits to God the Father, with humility one becomes an instrument of God the Father.

God the Father teaches people gentleness and humility, which are the two virtues that always come first: Gentleness is to put on a kind heart to treat our brothers and sisters.

Humility is to bow down, to lower oneself to serve before our brothers and sisters. Humility only sees one's own sins and not the sins of others.

Humility never condemns or judges anyone. Humility is seeing only God the Father reigning, while you are nothing.

So, throughout Advent, God wants everyone to look in the mirror of life of Saint John the Baptist, he humbly said to God throughout his life with all his heart: Lord, let me become smaller so that You may become greater.

Therefore, let us examine ourselves and not expand our ego because a person is nothing before God the Father. Man is only a creature, only a useless servant. Whether man is in God the Father's plan or not, does it add anything to Him? He doesn't need man, one word from Him is enough for Satan to retreat. But why does He allow His Work to be carried out in this world?

Because He loves man! For man to be happy, to be blessed to cooperate is a grace for man.

Whoever boasts before Him is arrogant, whoever thinks they can do the things God the Father entrusts is arrogant. Man cannot do anything without God the Father's grace. Therefore, be humble and lower yourself, don't think you can do anything! Man can only prostrate before God the Father and say: Father, I am a useless servant after doing something to attribute all the results to God the Father. Success or failure is God the Father's prerogative. He allows it to happen as it is, that is His power, not because of my merit.

Humility is truly seeing oneself as weak and imperfect:

If man does not have the spirit of God, does not have His grace, then he cannot even say "Our Father". Because Satan will make the jaw stiff, Satan will paralyze, unable to do anything, and still claim credit before God the Father? No! Man should bow down and humble himself before God the Father and his brothers and sisters, that is a sharp weapon to destroy Satan as the Word of God has said.

Why is Satan rampant? Because man misuses his freedom, because man is still arrogant, because man has used his freedom to be arrogant, to show off, then Satan incites man to be more arrogant, so that man considers the merit as his own, not belonging to God.

If man knows humility, he will see that: being in God, working for Him is a grace from God, and knowing that it is a grace given freely, one must devote oneself to repay that grace in a way that is worthy of God's love.

If man knows humility, then man will not condemn, will not dare to judge anyone because he is aware that he himself is a sinner, and a sinner cannot condemn a sinner. Nor will he speak judgmental words, he will be silent with God the Father. Humility helps man become quiet, and then, the Holy Spirit will fill, will enlighten man to know what love is, and when loving with all his heart, he will know what to do for a sinner, for a sick person. It is the Love of the Triune God that will work in man when man knows how to seek the love of Him.

Humility is a grace, so people must earnestly ask God

to grant it. One must always ask for the grace of humility, humbling oneself before God the Father, always acknowledging oneself as a sinner before God the Father; that is what pleases Him. Because He says: the lower one humbles oneself, the higher God will lift them up, the more God will grant them understanding of His mysteries and His holy will, so that when people come to others, they will know how to help them convert.


Approach others with humility:

Dear everyone, God's Work in this age is a great Work,

so great, that when humankind receives this great grace, they must know how to share it with others, they must go and spread it so that everyone in the world knows. But He always reminds those who walk in this work, when they come to their brothers and sisters, that the first step is to bring humility, self-abasement, and smallness before others.

One must first remove one's ego, so that God Himself can work within them, then God's grace can come within them.

But if one's ego is still higher, it will push the grace of the Holy Spirit out, and at that time, one cannot do God's work but will become a servant of Satan because of their lack of humility.

In short, humble yourself so that God's love may grow, so that the grace Approach others with humility:


In short, practice humility so that God's love may grow and His grace may fill you.


SECOND, BE GENEROUS, DO NOT BE STINGY

The end of one sin is the beginning of another; they are interconnected. No human can avoid all Seven Deadly Sins. One might think they are generous, not stingy, but we fail to consider this: we can be generous with material things but stingy with grace, generous with money but stingy with our time for others, with offering good advice, or with expressing love. Thus, stinginess, as God refers to it, is not just about material possessions. God calls His children to examine whether they have been generous in sharing the grace He has freely and abundantly bestowed upon them, like the ceaseless waves of the sea. Firstly, when a person is born, it is an act of God's generous love and mercy towards His creation. Secondly, it is the grace He bestows throughout our lives, a protection and providence amidst all external influences, hardships, and struggles, from education to the understanding of each individual. Without these gifts from God the Father, could we be who we are now, in every stage, position, and mission He has granted us? In essence, do not think that giving alms is enough to practice this virtue. For God, generosity encompasses everything, from within to without, generously sharing the grace we receive from Him. The talent He gives must bear fruit; that is true generosity. Generosity in sharing time with others, sharing our talents… everything we have, from the freely given gifts of spirit and body, from grace to material things, must go hand in hand, united as God the Father instructs. Therefore, do not be complacent, thinking we have done enough. For God the Father, it is never enough, because Satan is always lurking, seeking to devour us when we are vulnerable. Any gap in our reverence for God and love for others, even the smallest, in our thoughts, words, or actions, Satan will exploit. Therefore, God calls His children to quiet their souls, come to Him, and abide in His Heart, earnestly pleading for the grace to examine ourselves, to look into our souls and listen to the voice of our conscience, asking: Who am I before God and before my brothers and sisters?


THIRD, KEEP YOURSELF PURE, DO NOT BE LUSTFUL

All people are created with a body and soul, and God the Father breathed His Spirit into them. But Satan lurks, waits, and tempts—all of this was clearly stated in the time of Jesus. Jesus Himself, in His obedience, humbled Himself to endure Satan's temptations of the flesh, so God's children cannot escape such temptations either. Because this flesh will exist until our last breath when we leave this world, we must fight every second against the desires of the flesh. God the Father calls His children to keep their bodies and souls pure, for the body and soul are the temple of the Holy Spirit. If someone keeps themselves physically pure but still chases after glory, fame, and the comforts of the world, still lives in pride and complacency, then their soul is not pure. Examine yourselves and do not be complacent, thinking you have fully maintained purity, that you are not passionate about worldly vanities, the lusts of the world. For creation was made from dust and will return to dust, but the Spirit that God breathed into us, having received life, must fight continuously and arduously to attain God's holiness, as St. Paul said: “I say, then: live by the Spirit and you will certainly not gratify the desire of the flesh. For the flesh has desires against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; these are opposed to each other, so that you may not do what you want. But if you are guided by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are obvious: immorality, impurity, licentiousness, idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, rivalry, jealousy, outbursts of fury, acts of selfishness, dissensions, factions, occasions of envy,  drinking bouts, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. In contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. Now those who belong to Christ (Jesus) have crucified their flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also follow the Spirit. Let us not be conceited, provoking one another, envious of one another.” (Galatians 5:16-25).

Ladies and gentlemen, we know that Jesus himself was subjected to physical temptations after 40 days of fasting in the desert. Knowing He was physically hungry and thirsty, Satan sowed the thought: "If you are the Son of God, turn this stone into bread!" But Jesus fought and triumphed: "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God." So, each person, faced with temptations of the flesh, of lust, of all worldly desires, has truly risen up to fight and eliminate them, or not? Because human beings are created not only with a body, but also with a soul and reason, will, and the Spirit of God breathed into them. So, we must examine ourselves carefully, have we truly lived according to the Spirit? Have we been in the light and freedom that God has given? Or are we stumbling along the dark path of lust? Becoming slaves to Satan in the darkness and living for the flesh, so that the lustful Satan can satisfy his lust on our own bodies? Therefore, we need to know one truth: The current world is dominated by Satan, they cover their ears and blindfold their eyes, making many people mistakenly believe that they are living chastely, that they do not commit lust with any partner, then they are clean and have escaped this sin. No! When people are still passionate about fame, still arrogant, complacent, still like praise, like being respected by others, like reputation in this world,... All of those things boil down to the sin of idolatry, which is disobeying God, excluding God, and committing spiritual adultery against God!

What is spiritual adultery?

If we do not worship God but worship our ego above all things, worship our reputation above all things, worship money more than God, is that spiritual adultery against God? In today's world, the depravity of bestiality and lust has spread throughout the earth, and especially Satan has infiltrated strongly into the younger generation, especially within the clergy, due to pushing God aside to worship idols, meaning committing adultery with those evil spirits. Thus, we have nothing to be proud of, saying: I am very clean before God. Why does God say to keep oneself clean, not only physically but also in the Spirit of God, spiritually in the mystery of creation? That is why God the Father allows people to understand the root of sin. If we do not recognize sin, we will never be able to quit sin, and if we cannot quit sin, we cannot live cleanly, holy, and righteous before God. And in this day and age, the carnal world has flooded, making people only know how to live for this life without thinking about the afterlife, because Satan has covered up that conscience, leaving behind a hardened heart chasing after things of the flesh, satisfying lust, satisfying cravings and forgetting God, no longer listening to the voice of conscience - which is the voice from God - the Spirit He gave from the beginning.

FOURTH, FORBEARANCE, DO NOT BE ANGRY

People must know how to control their tongues and minds, because anger and jealousy will lead people to serious sins, as St. John says in his first letter: "Anyone who hates his brother is a murderer" (1 John 3:15). This is clearly shown through Eve's first two sons, Abel and Cain. Cain, out of hatred, killed his brother Abel, and God revealed that it was not until the digging of the well of salvation in February 2023 in this new era work that Cain was saved. Why is that? Eve's words, spoken by God to Cain during the digging of the well of salvation, are the answer to the question posed: "My son - Cain, from the day God told you to roam the earth, you have had to endure all the punishments God the Father gave you,

But when you departed from this earth, facing God the Father, your heart remained hardened, you still didn't embrace the heart God gave you from the moment you were conceived in your mother's womb. Abel, after leaving this earth beside me, day and night pleaded with God the Father to have mercy on you, his brother. Abel, from birth, continued to love you unchangingly, even though you caused Abel's blood to spill across the earth, Abel's loving heart remained unchanged. But your heart continued to close itself off with pride. Therefore, you have endured punishment from the moment you left the earth until today. Now, God the Father wants you to embrace a heart like Abel, your brother, a pure, simple, innocent, loving, and forgiving heart. From now on, live with the new heart that God the Father has given you. Lift your head and receive His light and power, my son Cain.” Yes, ladies and gentlemen, God the Father created each of us

out of love, and to enjoy happiness with God the Father, we must also embrace a loving heart like His, loving everyone without exception.


God the Father created each individual differently, no one is the same. From appearance to the soul of a person, He has assigned a unique mission, but if we respect each other, offer true love that comes from God, together build a good person, returning to the innocent, simple, and gentle nature of the beginning, then people can receive good things from each other and overcome the hatred and resentment sown by Satan. Like a garden of flowers He created, the flowers have different scents, colors, shades, and shapes, to say that: His paradise is multifaceted, colorful, and rich, beyond human comprehension. Therefore, people should not use their limited understanding and hearts to analyze, judge, or comment. God's creation of each person in the beginning was good, but Satan has corrupted each human heart, sowing hatred, anger, envy, and jealousy… Because Satan himself fell, lost the loving heart that God created in the beginning. So, out of revenge and retaliation, Satan sowed hatred in the hearts of humans from the beginning, namely the first two children of Eve, who are the typical image of humankind. So, God wants people to avoid this fourth deadly sin, they must relearn the word "love" according to His commandment: What is LOVE? LOVE is patience, LOVE is forbearance, LOVE is kindness - All people, whether they have the gift of prophecy or this or that talent, still turn towards LOVE, because only with Love can we exist, while all other things will pass away.

Only the word LOVE - is the power to defeat Satan.

LOVE is the unity of the Holy Trinity. That word of love is the power that repels Satan. That word of love made the Only Son of God the Father obey Him absolutely. That word of Love brings salvation to all people. Therefore, God the Father once said through Saint Augustine: love and then do. When people love, they will know what to do for God and for their neighbors. When they love God, they obey Him absolutely. Love will bring joy in suffering with Jesus Christ. Love yearns to be conformed to Him. Love will make people long to walk the path of the cross, long to please God the Father by joyfully accepting suffering in every second, every minute, accepting temptations in Gratitude to God. Love will guide everyone through suffering with peaceful, joyful, and happy hearts. Love will create an invincible strength that Satan does not possess. Because of Love, Satan must submit to the Only Son of God the Father. Today, God the Father also defines LOVE as He reveals His work on this earth. Therefore, everyone should rejoice and thank God, reciprocating His love—love in return for love, grace in return for grace. And God the Father wants everyone to let Love exist and fill their hearts, so that the Lord of love may exist and possess their hearts. In this way, everyone will become elite warriors of God. In this way, everyone will have enough strength to unite as one like the Holy Trinity, creating a powerful force to repel the vengeful and hateful Satan. God the Father wants everyone to love like His Only Son, looking up at the cross of Jesus Christ to learn what love is and what to do in love, following the example of the Son of God. Love, then give thanks to God before temptation in joy? Because it is through trials and temptations that everyone realizes their weakness and inability to do anything against Satan. It is through temptations that God the Father lets everyone know whether they are walking on the path of love. Without temptations, everyone would never be able to prove their love, expressed through obedience and faithfulness to God. Therefore, to fight against the hateful Satan, let humanity build a united force in the love of the Holy Trinity—the One Love.



FIFTH, ABSTAIN FROM OVEREATING.

Today, people are immersed in a world of indulgence and depravity brought by Satan. They worship their stomachs and bodies above all else, seeking every way to satisfy their needs and desires, pushing God out of their lives. Therefore, God calls on humanity to examine their purpose in life. What is the meaning of human existence? Are we here simply to eat? Because of this focus on food, people strive for money, status, and fame. They have distanced themselves from God's Word, forgetting the true meaning and purpose of life, which is to seek the Kingdom of God first. This focus on material things is what St. Paul addressed to the Philippians:

"For many, as I have often told you and now tell you even in tears, conduct themselves as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their end is destruction. Their God is their stomach; their glory is in their "shame." Their minds are occupied with earthly things. But our citizenship  is in heaven, and from it we also await a savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. He will change our lowly body to conform with his glorified body by the power that enables him also to bring all things into subjection to himself.”

 (Phil 3, 18-21)

Today, God the Father reminds us that we do not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God. Jesus is the Living Word, whom God the Father gives us through the Eucharist to nourish our body and soul. Those who practice self-control, abstain from sin, and pray constantly will be filled with God's Spirit, light, love, and grace, and will no longer be enslaved by earthly food. In the Old Testament, God initially fed the Israelites with manna in the wilderness. But due to their fleshly desires, they demanded meat. Therefore, when Jesus came to earth, He urged people not to focus solely on physical food but to live by the Living Word and put it into practice. A person who lives with true love, a love that comes from God, is never burdened by earthly things but always strives for higher, nobler things. Conversely, those who are preoccupied with food and drink cannot avoid the passions of the flesh, and their lives are crushed by their carnal nature, defiling their bodies, which are temples of the Holy Spirit.

We see a connection between the first and seventh deadly sins. When people indulge in food, prioritize their stomachs, and become consumed by feasts and celebrations, they fall into other passions, especially lust. Drunkenness leads to foolish talk, then to blasphemy, anger, impatience, arguments, and fights. Excessive feasting shows a lack of charity towards the poor. And when uncontrolled indulgence leads to succumbing to the flesh, it results in debauchery and lust, defiling the body and corrupting the soul. This is a trap set by Satan, linking one sin to another, creating a downward spiral. It is Satan's subtle way of attacking us, leading us into darkness and destroying the image of God in which we were created. St. Thomas Aquinas spoke of six things to avoid regarding eating and drinking: eating too early, eating expensively, eating too much, eating eagerly, eating selectively, eating wastefully, and repeatedly eating favorite foods – these are the habits of gluttony. When people indulge in feasts, they become like moths drawn to a flame, dying in their lust, worshipping their stomachs above Almighty God. Therefore, Jesus said: those who worship God do not worship wealth and money. Those who prioritize their stomachs also push God aside. This is why God teaches us to abstain from overeating. Satan fears those who practice self-control, fasting, and prayer, living in austerity and purity as God the Father has instructed. This is clearly stated in the letter of James, which teaches that we should live by the Spirit and practice self-control. Without self-control, we cannot pray or deny ourselves to fight against temptation. After teaching, healing, and casting out demons, Jesus always sought solitude to pray and connect with God the Father, rather than seeking rest and indulging in physical satisfaction. But in today's world, Satan has led people of all levels into the pursuit of physical pleasure, forgetting that their true purpose in this life is to turn towards God. Satan has infiltrated all levels of religious life, including priests, the religious, and even hermits. The truth is that even hermits are not spared by Satan, who distracts them from their prayers. God reveals that only a small number still fear Him, while the majority of hermits today are also immersed in worldliness and lust, weighing down their bodies and darkening their spirits, unable to escape the net cast by Satan, and forgetting God even though they come before Him daily. They come with their bodies, but their souls are distant due to worldly passions. To fight against this demon of passion, God reminds us to use the prayer He taught us, the Our Father, to ask Him: "Give us this day our daily bread," asking only for enough physical sustenance. But we must also earnestly ask Him for the enduring food, which is the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist. Those who frequently receive the Eucharist will be nourished both in soul and body, for as He said: "I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever." This is our true food, the bread of angels, now given to us as the Lord Himself, and He alone is enough.


SIXTH, LOVE PEOPLE, DO NOT HATE.

God is a God of love, a God of mercy. He is the King of love. And because of love, God has engraved His love in the heart of every person. Therefore, God calls on everyone to consider whether they have lived up to the love that God has placed in each person or not? Or have allowed Satan to creep in and sow hatred and resentment. Breath, life, talent, intellect, intelligence, the abilities that one has, what one possesses, where do they come from? All come from God. So what do we have that prevents us from carrying out God's commandments, from completing the mission and duty that He has bestowed and placed on earth? It is a heart that must know how to love, open to receive all graces and must give graces to others. But because of selfishness, because of jealousy, because of bottomless greed, only knowing how to grasp, attribute to oneself and exalt oneself above all things, man has lost the word love, has extinguished a loving heart that He created from the beginning, and then indulged in what Satan tempted man, creating jealousy. Those who live in that hatred and jealousy will never find their lives truly joyful and peaceful in God. The Book of Genesis shows us that God created everything fresh and beautiful, especially man created in the image of the love of the Trinity. But why in this new age, people no longer find that other than having to face daily with hatred, jealousy, disputes, envy, jealousy, and petty squabbles with each other. It is Satan who makes people extinguish the fire of love, the fire of zeal from God and replaces it with bad habits and violent actions towards each other. Without love, there is no joyful life, and without a joyful life, there is no sacrifice, without sacrifice, there is no closeness to each other, without closeness to each other, there is division, war and mutual destruction. That is the crux of a source that mankind is immersed in the darkness that Satan brings to every human being. A few whom God the Father has placed from the beginning know how to live holy and love. But in every human soul, there is a streak of hatred, hatred because of dissatisfaction within oneself, hatred because of disputes, hatred because of judgment, hatred because of envy, hatred because of jealousy, hatred because of comparison, so that nothing good can be seen on earth and in each person, to lose faith and hope in a God who is the God of Love.


SEVENTH, BE DILIGENT IN THE WORK OF GOD, DO NOT BE LAZY.

All the sins and virtues that God the Father calls on people today, people must be awake to recognize themselves, to practice, because people do not have a soul attached to God and closely united with Him, there is no grace, no light of love to fight Satan. Because if God does not give grace, man himself will never be able to fight. Therefore, God the Father calls on everyone to be closely and constantly united with Him as Saint Peter called on his faithful: Be sober-minded and watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Indeed, the devil never sleeps for a moment. They just wait to steal human souls for their side against God. The more people disobey God's Word, the more Satan triumphs, and his revenge grows stronger and more pronounced. Only through prayer, stillness, close communion with God, and receiving His Word taught through the conscience of each person can one recognize the true truth. This is clearly shown through the Eternal Word of God from the past until now. That love and mercy continues unceasingly as He still bestows upon humanity today the Real Word of God, so that people may be more closely connected with God through His direct teachings on each individual and in each life.

Prayer is the breath, the key that opens the door for each soul to come to God, closer to His light, so that people can firmly grasp the weapon in their hands, wearing the armor of God's light to confront the three enemies: the Devil, the World, and the Flesh. Without prayer, there is no breath, no breath means no life, and without life, there is only death and darkness in each person. Today's children of humanity are very afraid of silence, very afraid of loneliness, very afraid of facing God and themselves. But the truth is always the truth, nothing can be hidden from God because He knows all hearts, because He created man. And nothing is hidden that will not be revealed in the light because light always conquers darkness and evil. Jesus came, lived, died, and conquered the world through His resurrection. And He invites all creatures, especially the children of humanity, to return to God the merciful Father, the Good and Just One, so that humanity can confront and defeat the evil one of the world, which is Satan mentioned in video 666 of the program Voice of Truth, showing that everything that St. John mentioned in the Book of Revelation is rising up in the new era today while humanity is not awake. And the light of God has been sown in the Army of Light, a small group who dare to face the truth about their own sins, so that through this they are cleansed by God and become instruments used by God, to bring His Truth, light, love, and salvation to their fellow human beings. God wants people to recognize their fragile, weak, and easily fallen nature, to be truly diligent, to truly love in holy works, to practice morality with a loving heart, with forgiveness, with reverence for God above all things, with true heartfelt reverence. And never be complacent that you have prayed a lot, that's enough, going to Mass every day, that's enough, confessing and receiving communion every month, that's enough. Because for Him, nothing is enough. But He demands the faithfulness of man to the last breath with concrete actions in a heart burning with love for God and for his brothers and sisters. With God, do as He says, simply relying on Him, with brothers and sisters, serve freely and love as yourself. And the important thing is to love your own soul, then you can love the souls of others, to love your soul, you must examine yourself, recognize sin, resolve to repent, and avoid all occasions of sin. Prayer is the sure weapon to confront Satan. But ironically, today pastors no longer care to remind their flock to practice prayer, some even condemn the House of the Father when they practice constant prayer according to the Lord's teaching in the Bible. In the Church today, how many priests and religious live a life of constant prayer, fasting, mortification, and penance? Very few. Meanwhile, they are considered role models for the faithful to follow in virtue. Therefore, in the days approaching the great event, the day when God came down to earth as a man, God invites everyone, especially the pastors and male and female religious of God, to take time to examine themselves, recognize sin, and resolve to repent so that God may cleanse their souls to become pure and worthy to celebrate and participate in the solemn Mass celebrating the birth of God's Son as a man.


CONCLUSION

Dear everyone, this concludes the series of sharings that God wants me to convey to the whole world, so that His Word may resound in every nook and cranny, in the highest heavens and the deepest depths, not only for humans but for all creatures awaiting the grace of salvation and sanctification from Almighty God the Father. Specifically for humans, He earnestly invites greater cooperation, repentance, recognition of sin, and a firm resolve to turn away from sin. This not only has the power to sanctify oneself and one's brethren but also helps even Satan. Indeed, God has revealed that Satan is saved through the repentance of humankind and through Satan's own repentance. This is the mutual cooperation among the creatures He created. For He created all species in mutual love. As He said: He makes rain fall on the earth, this earth has humans, demons, and all kinds of animals. And there will come a time when all creatures will return to the original Garden of Eden: The day when " Then the wolf shall be a guest of the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; The calf and the young lion shall browse together, with a little child to guide them. The cow and the bear shall be neighbors, together their young shall rest; the lion shall eat hay like the ox. The baby shall play by the cobra's den, and the child lay his hand on the adder's lair. There shall be no harm or ruin on all my holy mountain; for the earth shall be filled with knowledge of the LORD, as water covers the sea.

 (Isaiah 11:6-9). Please join me in thanking and praising God: Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, who has visited and redeemed his people… Lord, your love I will sing forever; to all generations/

I will make known your faithfulness with my mouth.
