The human being requires vital energy for every activity, thus activity signifies life. If this strength is withdrawn from him he will be incapable of reshaping himself or other things.... he will be lifeless. But as soon as the human being has become lifeless, the external shape will nevertheless change within itself. It will dissolve, and this process will last until all substances are taken in by a new external shape again, i.e. once the spiritual substance has escaped the form, the remaining form will certainly be released from its previous purpose, nevertheless, it must find a new purpose.... it must contribute towards increasing some other external shape. The substance dissolves in order to be joined to a new external shape. This process once again requires a longer period of time.... Hence the old shape seemingly dissolves; in reality, however, the spiritual substances which the external shape also consists of enter into contact with other spiritual substances and form a new external shape because the spiritual substance, which had solidified into an external shape, must likewise undertake the path of higher development on earth, for it is still at the beginning of its development. As soon as spiritual substances are placed into this new external shape again, it will begin its function of service, thus the shape will awaken to life.... for activity is life. Each work of creation receives the flow of strength from God so that it can actively be of service, no matter in what way, and every activity results in higher development for the spiritual substance in the form. Consequently that which is alive.... thus active.... must advance in its development without fail. Only the state of death signifies a standstill of its development. But all matter shelters life within itself, for it constantly changes, albeit over various lengths of time. Even the hardest form, through external influences relating to light radiation.... thus the activity of the bearers of light.... will be stimulated to be active, although this is not noticeable to the human eye. But life also stirs in this shape and accomplishes changes which therefore confirm its life. Matter can therefore not be called entirely dead, although for the human being it appears to be lifeless. And yet, a state of lifelessness exists and this occurs in the stage as a human being.... In this stage the being receives the greatest flow of vital energy which it should use for actively being of service. And despite of this it is possible for the human being to spend his life on earth in complete idleness.... as soon as he does not use the vital energy in order to fulfil the task which is the purpose of his earthly life.... if he neglects or refrains from doing what will gain him higher development.... if he avoids accomplishing acts of love.... the pursuance of activity for which God provides the human being with the flow of vital energy.... Then his higher development will come to a standstill. This signifies a state of lifelessness, of death, and this is the worst state because it can only be remedied by the being itself.... but since the state of death is a state of weakness, the being will no longer be able to release itself from it because it rejected the strength it had previously received.... Death of the external shape merely signifies a transformation into a new form, thus, in a manner of speaking, a further possibility for higher development of the spiritual substance which the external shape consists of. But to be spiritually dead is the most horrific state, because the final grace which is at the being's disposal has been left unused.... because the flow of vitality God conveyed to this being has not been used for helpful activity and the being remains on the same level of development it was in at the beginning of its embodiment as a human being. Spiritual progress without activity is impossible; the being becomes weak as a result of its inactivity and enters the beyond without strength....
Amen
TranslatorVjera pomiče planine.... i ako vi u vjeri izgovarate ime Isus, dobit ćete sve što ste zatražili. „Ako molite Oca u Moje ime, On će vam to dati....“ No, morate imati duboku, nepokolebljivu vjeru u Njegovu Ljubav i svemoć, jer jedino vaša vjera čini molitvu učinkovitom. Molitva bez vjere je samo forma, jedino vjera oživljava molitvu, a o vjeri također ovisi uslišenje molitve. I, ako vi sada iskreno (prisno, duboko) zamolite da vam Otac nebeski pošalje Svojega Duha, da vi čujete Njegovu Riječ, Duh Božji će se spustiti na vas. No, o snazi vjere ovisi kako ćete vi čuti Njegov Božanski glas. On će vama zvučno govoriti, ako u sebi više ne nosite nikakvu sumnju. Vjera mora biti tako čvrsta da vi niti jedne sekunde ne posumnjate u to da će Bog ispuniti vaš zahtjev, onda više ništa neće biti nemoguće, jer što Bog želi, to se događa, pa ako vi vjerujete, više ne postoji ništa što Bog ne bi mogao ostvariti. Isus je posjedovao ovu snažnu vjeru, i On ju je želio prenijeti svim ljudima, i stoga je On njima dao obećanje da će im biti ispunjena svaka molitva, ako oni u Njegovo ime mole Oca za to. A, od ljudi je zahtijevana jedino vjera u ovo obećanje. Oni ne znaju koje jamstvo je njima dao Isus Krist.... ne znaju koliko im je učinjeno lakim dohvatiti sve od Boga, ako oni samo čvrsto vjeruju. Isus Krist se Osobno ponudio kao Zagovornik kod Oca, odnosno, čovjek Isus je bio tako jak u vjeri, da za Njega nije postojala ni jedna neuslišana molitva, zahvaljujući ovoj vjeri. A, budući da je On znao da su ljudi bili još slabi u vjeri, morali su se poslužiti Njegovom snagom vjere, i u Njegovo ime moliti Oca.... Božji Duh jedino može djelovati gdje je preduvjet čvrsta vjera....
Kolebljiva vjera čini učinak slabim, i uvijek je sam čovjek, koji kroz snagu svoje volje, odlučuje u kojoj mu jasnoći prilaze prijenosi iz duhovnog kraljevstva. Vjera bez sumnje će omogućiti zvučanje Riječi u srcu jasnim i razgovijetnim (razumljivim), ali sve dok je ova još izložena kolebanju, također je i prijenos od strane bića-davatelja, otežan. I zato se vi morate boriti i moliti za snaženje vjere, kako bi Bog ovu mogao osnažiti, jer vi sve možete ostvariti, ako odbacite sve sumnje.
AMEN
