“If I, Saint Athanasius, were to walk down the aisle with two emeralds, two rubies, two sapphires and two diamonds, of which one of each kind would be real, genuine, and the other one would be made by man, and I were to toss them up and say, ‘Now, each child here choose the one you would like to take away,’ you would look at these stones, these gems, and you would try to determine the value of them. So I, Saint Athanasius, come through this child today to say, ‘Through her, I toss out a Great Gem: the Gem of Truth, the Gem of Light, the Gem of Wisdom, the Gem of Obedience to God’s Will and the Gem of Teaching.’ Now other men throughout the world are also designing similar things. You have a choice. You can either choose the real or the imitation.
I walked in a time of great heresy. I stood for all that was Good and Truth. I stood in Value, for Value, and yes, for the position of stand that had a Great Value to it. I stood against many, many, many men. They were in a heresy, ‘Arian’ by name. They had many things to say about this heresy. They did not call it heresy, but openly proclaimed it to be the way, it to be the truth. I stood firm, I stood strong, knowing that I had a Gem to work with. I had the Truth.
And now, I go back to the gems that you are used to, the stones you are familiar with, the rubies, emeralds, sapphires and diamonds. The rubies, you would soon see the value of the beautiful one, the real, even if you were not one who had studied such things. All of a sudden you would realize there was a beauty all its own. And then you would look at all the other stones, and when you reached the diamond, some of you would be aware enough to look for a little touch of carbon, a little touch of dark. Keep in mind, the man-made stone wouldn’t bear this touch, for man would reach for perfection. Now, the diamond thrown out could be of purity, but there would be a shine to it that would make you feel the beauty of surety. Keep this in mind. There is always a slight bit of difference in the genuine and the false.
So tonight I pass through a child, not just a Miracle, but Truth that runs a parallel to the time in which I lived. The heresy, one that many men accept: Pentecostalism is a heresy in the world, and it is the one thing that will split Holy Mother Church right down the middle if men allow it. There are other heresies in the world: Communism, Mafia, Homosexuality, Promiscuity in many ways, and you do live in a time worse than Sodom and Gomorrah, for you live in a time of great heresies, many in name. There are seven in the world today, seven.
Men are afraid to face the Truth, but they walk in heresy, because you see, their ego and their pride is built up so inside that they cannot stand to walk the other way, which never allows a man pride, ego, but obedience and trust in God’s Will, and always a burden of the cross. Sometimes the weight of the cross is far more than any man knows.
I ask each man, each son here now, to lift an oak. Be sure, when you lift this oak, it is five years or more in age, in time, in size, in growth. Now multiply it a hundredfold. Could you lift it? Not even if you were bold. But sometimes, when men lift a heresy in their own way, the heresy is light, for you see, there is no burden to it, only what they term ‘the gift of light’.
Light does not weigh if you use it in the natural way, but wisdom has a burden, wisdom weighs heavily. And do not forget, He, Who hung upon the Cross was crucified, and yet He held the Wisdom of the whole world and for the whole world in His Head, in His Hands, in His Path. Ask yourselves on this day: Do you bear wisdom or self-love? Do you carry a cross God’s Way, or do you carry it your way?
If I, Saint Athanasius, were to walk into the room, physical to your eyes, some of you would not know Who I was, why I walked in, or would you understand what I would say. Men want Miracles, yes; but what about promiscuity in your day? Ask yourself this: Would it take a Miracle to rid the world of it, or would it take the simple light of self-discipline to refrain from it?
I bless you from the Heavens in a manner you cannot know, but I bless you with the Gift of Light; and keep in mind that the light made by man only glows. The Light of the Heavens has a weight, a burden few children can bear, for the weight of It is more than a cross; It’s love and care. So be it.”
