That which is said here does not concern the real needy. Today I address those among your nation who, out of bad habits, have made the beggar’s garment their own. It is easy to point a finger at the world and especially to Me and in self-pity proclaim that everything and everybody owes you something in your misery. But selfishly you do not once think that the one you are begging from, many times has to go through the same tribulations as you, and with a lot of effort he has to win his own battle. And his wage, earned with difficulty, he must now unselfishly also share with you, so that you can drink yourself into the grave. By means of cunning psychological guile, you gladly make use of a miserable “Lazarus image” and so you misuse your brother’s conscience and this makes you nothing better than a shrewd robber. And the one who lends you a helping hand, behind his back he is mocked and laughed at for his dumbness. Clearly it is written in Scripture, that what you have done to the poor, you have done to Me.

But nowhere is it written that a drunkard and drug addict must be encouraged in his wrongdoing.

Among you there are highly gifted people and I have endowed everyone with many talents, make use of it. With My help and a bit of perseverance any problem, also addiction, can be overcome. As part of My chosen nation, I also say to you that there is little time and during many difficult times, your compatriots will not possess the ability or the time, to haul their wagon as well as yours, through the river.
