Recognizing people who are connected to God....

Every spiritual discussion between you will enlighten you about man's relationship with God, if you are concerned with making a just judgement. You will first have to focus your attention on the motives which determine a person to seek a dialogue. A person who is closely united with God will always desire to hear the word of God, and this desire will express itself such that he will seek out the place where it is offered to him. And the word will penetrate him and make him happy, he will receive it and feel the strength of the word, i.e. he will experience the word as beneficial. He has God in himself, he lives in God and is therefore in the right relationship with Him. However, a person can also want to talk about things which are not connected to the divine word, in which case the divine word is not desired first and then the desire for God is only weakly present, and the person's attitude towards God is also not as it should be in order to achieve spiritual success through a mutual exchange of thoughts. The hunger for truth, for the word of God, must urge the human being to seek contact with people of the same spirit, but this hunger will inevitably demand to be satisfied; thus the longing human being will desire to hear what satisfies his desire, and then it will also be easy to recognize him as God-connected, who wants to speak and hear God wherever He expresses Himself. For the God-connected person senses it when God speaks to him through a person's mouth.... thus the God-connected person can only accept, for he knows very well how to distinguish the working of divine strength from deception.... the God-connected person recognizes the voice of God and listens to it. But where little attention is paid to this voice, the person still lacks an intimate connection with God, and thus even a dialogue will not result in the gracious consequences that God-connected people can draw from it....

Amen

PREPOZNAVNJE LJUDI, POVEZANIH Z BOGOM....

Vsak duhovna razprava med vami razjasni odnos človeka do Boga, če vam gre za pravično sodbo. Najprej se morate osredotočiti na to, kateri so motivi, ki ženejo ljudi, da iščejo razpravo. Človek, ki je tesno povezan z Bogom, bo vedno hrepenel po tem, da bi slišal Božjo Besedo in ta želja se bo izrazila tako, da bo poiskal kraj, kjer mu je ponujena.

In beseda bo prodrla vanj in ga osrečila, sprejel jo bo in občutil moč besede, se pravi, besedo bo blagodejno občutil. V sebi ima Boga, živi v Bogu in je tako z Njim v pravem odnosu. Lahko pa se človek želi pogovarjati tudi o stvareh, ki niso povezane z Božjo Besedo, in takrat Božja Beseda ne bo zaželena, in takrat je želja po Bogu le šibko prisotna, pa tudi odnos človeka do Boga ni takšen, kot bi moral biti, da bi z medsebojno izmenjavo misli dosegli duhovni uspeh.

Hrepenenje po resnici, po Božji Besedi, mora človeka spodbujati k iskanju stika z ljudmi istega duha. Ta lakota pa bo tudi neizogibno zahtevala, da se ji zadosti; tako bo hrepeneči človek želel slišati tisto, kar zadovoljuje njegovo željo, in potem ga bo tudi zlahka prepoznal kot povezanega z Bogom, ki želi govoriti in slišati Boga povsod, kjer se izraža.

Ker oseba, povezana z Bogom čuti, ko ji Bog govori skozi usta neke osebe... torej oseba, povezana z Bogom lahko samo sprejme, ker zna razlikovati delovanje Božje moči od prevare... z Bogom povezan človek prepozna Božji glas in mu prisluhne. Kjer pa se temu glasu posveča malo pozornosti, človeku še vedno manjka intimna povezanost z Bogom, zato tudi razprava ne bo dalo rezultatov, polnih Milosti, ki jih iz nje lahko potegnejo z Bogom povezani ljudje....

AMEN
