God's blessing for work....

Good and bad spiritual support....

The success of any work is always dependent on God's blessing, and God shall bless the work so it is started and completed with faith and trust in Him. It is by no means to be assumed that human intelligence guarantees the success of a work, but rather that intelligence itself is the work of otherworldly spiritual forces, namely good forces if the work was preceded by a faithful thought in God, or also bad forces if the person feels capable of mastering a difficult work alone in arrogance.

Good spiritual forces are also often at work without the human being consciously requesting God's blessing, namely when the human being is not yet cognisant but otherwise thinks correctly and is of a good disposition. Even then he receives the strength from above to direct his thoughts upwards and to make him aware of God's blessing so that he consciously strives for union with God, and no longer starts any work without praying for God's blessing. Conversely, evil spiritual forces take possession of the human being because his thinking corresponds more to these forces, and the effects of these are accepted without resistance. And the result of such bad influences will be that the human being will always become more arrogant and aware of his worth, that he will believe that he can manage everything by his own strength and never think of asking for God's blessing for a work. And thus only those spiritual forces are active in every work which correspond to the human being's thinking.... The success of a work will always depend on his innermost attitude towards God, for even if a work which has been accomplished without God's blessing appears to bring earthly success, it will only ever bring earthly success, but through such work the human being will fall prey to evil powers, that is, they will increasingly capture his thoughts and attitude. They provide him with many earthly advantages, but pull his soul down and thus increase his distance from God. Nothing should be started without God, if the earthly work should bring success to the soul. Then it will also be blessed in earthly regard, and the human being will be able to fulfil difficult tasks with ease, because the good spiritual forces will take care of this work and ensure its success....

Amen

BOŽJI BLAGOSLOV ZA POSAO.... DOBRA I LOŠA DUHOVNA POTPORA....

Uspjeh svakog posla uvijek je zavisno o Božjem blagoslovu, a Bog će posao blagosloviti ako se on započne i završi u vjeri u Njega i s povjerenjem u Njega. Nije da ljudska inteligencija osigurava uspjeh nekog posla, više se radi o tome da je već sama inteligencija djelovanje onostranih duhovnih sila, i to dobrih sila, ako je poslu prethodila misao vjere u Boga, ili pak loše sile, ako se čovjek prepotentno osjeća sposoban da sam izvede teško djelo.

Često su dobre duhovne sile na djelu i bez da čovjek svjesno traži Božji blagoslov, i to ako čovjek još nije u spoznaji, ali inače ispravno razmišlja i dobroga je stava. Njemu i tada pristiže snaga odozgor, kako bi svoje misli upravljao ka gore i osvijestio Božji blagoslov, kako bi svjesno težio povezivanju s Bogom i više ne započinje niti jedan posao bez molitve za Božji blagoslov. U obrnutom slučaju duhovno loše sile upravljaju čovjekom, budući da je njegovo razmišljanje više usklađeno s tim silama i njihovi utjecaji bivaju prihvaćeni bez otpora. A posljedica takvih loših utjecaja je da čovjek postaje sve prepotentniji i uvjereniji u svoju vrijednost, da vjeruje da sve može svladati vlastitom snagom, i nikada ne pomišlja na to da izmoli Božji blagoslov za ikoje djelo. Tako da su uvijek pri svakom poslu aktivne one sile koje su u skladu sa razmišljanjem čovjeka....

Uspješnost posla uvijek će zavisiti od njegovog unutarnjeg stava spram Boga, jer čak i kad naizgled rađa uspjehom, posao koji je bio počinjen bez Božjeg blagoslova će uvijek donositi baš samo zemaljski uspjeh, ali čovjek će se kroz takav posao upućivati pod vlast loših sila, tj. one sve više porobljavaju njegovo razmišljanje i usmjerenje (stav). One mu osiguravaju mnoge zemaljske pogodnosti, ali njegovu dušu vuku na dolje i time uvećavaju udaljenost od Boga. Ništa se ne bi trebalo započinjati bez Boga, ako želimo da zemaljski rad (posao) bude uspješan za dušu. Onda će on i biti blagoslovljen u materijalnom smislu, i čovjek će moći ispunjavati teške zadatke s lakoćom, budući da se dobre duhovne sile prihvaćaju tog posla i omogućavaju njegov uspjeh....

AMEN
