A well-satiated body leads the soul into the hand of the devil. In the past, the old people had only their own skin on their body. Why? Because it was once fat and brought the soul under the slavery of the body. Then what did he say? "Wait, you body, for I put you under a yoke", and he put the body under a yoke. What kind of yoke? Fasting and praying. The heaviest yoke for the body is fasting. Be careful, brother, fasting is considered as chains for the body. It is the best weapon to prevent the body from lusting: fasting. You should not believe that by fasting you got sick. It is found into the book that the flesh is the enemy to the soul. Take heed of My advice. If someone says that you get sick because you fast, it is not true. The Christians from the past raised the dead; they gave sight. You should remind fasting for specific things. If you fasted and you did not speak what you did it for, it was like an unwritten paper. If you have a father, you should fast to get him out. I show you a martyr who, after she died, someone got her out by fasting. Instead of having a hundred of memorial services, the best action is to write days of fasting and you will get someone out of his death. Nothing is holier on the earth like fasting. By fasting you will get out the most devilish people. Someone says: "I have enemies". If you had many days of fasting, you would not have enemies. But you do not have fasting. Brother and sister, I did not come to break the law; I rather came against your enemies. Not even among the Christians is there any fasting. The best weapon for destruction of the evil spirits is fasting. Some among the Christians had been fasting for three days to see if My work is true, but because they were tempting, it was not shown to them. Do not put into work what is not shown to you. Someone else also fasted to be a prophet; however, do not ask for what is not given to you. Do you know who are they who do this? The scribes and the Pharisees. During their time, they were fasting and saying to put God down. God knows each one of them and what He is going to do with him. My brother, if you want to do something for your brother, fast, but do not ask for something else.

… 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.

… Today fornication and drunkenness are in high power, and not only these, but also masturbation and sodomy. If you never fast from eating and drinking, your body leads you into the fire, like a stallion that is too well satiated.
… Sons, set aside to shine both inside and outside. You should be like pure gold; not defiled and not sinful. You should not be angry and wicked, nor a drunkard or a smoker. The sins of today were also in the time of Sodom and Gomorrah. And Lot was always crying to the world to repent. Oh, sons, the fire came, but no one saw it coming. Come out of the world by fasting and praying, so that you may not have troubles. I am the One Who was in the flesh on the earth and I commanded them, as I do it now to you, and no one believed Me. Keep away, as he who is not with Me, goes into the fire.

… Sons, during the three days in the week: Monday, Wednesday and Friday, have only one meal on evenings, and let the sick people eat at twelve o’clock. This is for My things to become perfect. He, who cannot do it, is not obliged. The sick man should also fast until twelve o’clock and his food may be without oil on that day.
