There are countless moments in earthly life when God knocks on people's hearts and desires entry.... where He comes to them in the word, either through the mouth of man or through the voice of the heart. And not one person can say that God has not taken notice of him. He desires entry into every human heart in order to be able to take effect in it, for the transformation of the soul can only take place with the help of the power from God, which flows to the human being in His word. Thus the word of God must be listened to so that the human being comes into possession of the power from God through his life according to this word. It is the expression of His will which God sends to man through His word. If man now does the will of God, he no longer opposes his creator but recognizes Him. He therefore enters into the right relationship with God, he no longer goes against Him but with Him.... He unites himself with God, he submits himself to Him and from now on no longer does his own will, but the will of God. Although the human being still walks on earth, he is already an aspirant of the spiritual kingdom, for he has passed the probationary period on earth, which was only given to him in order to find union with God in it. Divine love itself now approaches him and remains in close union with him, it continues to feed him with the word, which is the bread of heaven for him. For God now refreshes the human being with the food of heaven, He gives Himself to him in the word and is therefore constantly with him. He imparts the knowledge of truth to him, and He turns the human being into a bearer of light who can and will work again out of his love, who is now likewise willing to love and wants to pass on divine gifts. And willing fellow human beings will now also be allowed to feast at the lord's table.... they too will be offered the bread in the word, without which man does not have the strength to walk the earthly path leading upwards. And those who hunger and thirst for the gift of heaven will be satisfied. It will be an uninterrupted giving and receiving of what God Himself hands out to those who grant Him admittance into their hearts. God Himself wants to be active in them, therefore He desires admittance again and again. If a person does not hear His knocking, if he does not want to listen when the divine voice sounds softly audible.... His voice becomes louder. Then He comes to people in the form of suffering and wants to make Himself known and offer them His help. He only ever demands that they listen to Him, that they heed His voice, that they do not close their hearts to His admonishing voice. For without His word the human being cannot live his earthly life according to divine will, for without His word he lacks all strength....
Amen
TranslatorBezbroj je trenutaka u zemaljskom životu, kad Bog kuca na srca ljudi i traži pristup.... kad On njima dolazi u Riječi, bilo kroz ljudska usta ili kroz glas srca. I čovjek ne može reći da Bog nije obratio pažnju na njega. On traži pristup u srce svakog čovjeka, da bi sada u njemu mogao postati učinkovit, jer se preobrazba duše može dogoditi jedino primjenom Božje snage, koja čovjeku pritječe u Njegovoj Riječi. Stoga Božja Riječ mora biti saslušana, tako da čovjek, kroz svoj život u skladu sa ovom Riječju, dođe u posjed Božje snage. Izraz Njegove volje je da Bog dolazi ljudima kroz Njegovu Riječ. Vrši li sada čovjek Božju volju, onda se on više ne protivi svojemu Stvoritelju, nego Ga priznaje. On tada ulazi u ispravan odnos prema Bogu, više ne ide protiv Njega, nego s Njim.... On se sjedinjuje s Bogom, Njemu se podlaže i odsada pa nadalje više ne vrši svoju vlastitu volju, nego Božju volju. Iako čovjek još hoda na Zemlji, on je već kandidat za duhovno kraljevstvo, jer je prošao (izdržao, odolio) vrijeme ispita na Zemlji koje mu je bilo dano jedino da u njemu nađe sjedinjenje s Bogom. Sama Božja Ljubav mu prilazi i ostaje s njim u intimnoj vezi, hrani ga stalno Riječju, koja je za njega nebeski kruh. Jer, Bog sada krijepi čovjeka hranom s neba, On mu daje Sebe Samoga u Riječi i tako je neprekidno s njim. On mu prenosi znanje o Istini, i čini čovjeka nositeljem svjetla, koji opet može i hoće djelovati iz njegove Ljubavi, koji je sada također voljan ljubiti i želio bi razdjeljivati Božanski dar. A sada se i bližnji koji su voljni također mogu okrijepiti za stolom Gospoda.... i njima je u Riječi ponuđen kruh, bez kojega čovjek nema snage hodati zemaljskim putem koji vodi uvis. I, bit će nasićen tko gladuje i žeđa za darom s neba. Bit će neprekidno davanje i primanje onoga što Bog Osobno razdjeljuje onima koji Mu dozvole pristup u njihova srca. Sam Bog želi biti aktivan u njima, zato On uvijek i uvijek iznova traži pristup. Ako čovjek ne čuje Njegovo kucanje, ako on ne želi slušati kad Božji glas zvuči tiho i razgovjetno.... Njegov će glas postati bučniji. Onda On dolazi ljudima u obliku patnje i želi Se učiniti prepoznatljivim i ponuditi im Svoju pomoć. On uvijek zahtjeva samo da Ga oni saslušaju, da obrate pažnju na Njegov glas, da ne zatvore svoja srca Njegovom opominjućem glasu. Jer, bez Njegove Riječi čovjek ne može voditi svoj zemaljski život u skladu s Božjom voljom, jer mu bez Njegove Riječi nedostaje sva snaga.
AMEN
