Spiritual activity must precede earthly activity....

You must be fully active for the kingdom of God. You must not put earthly activity before spiritual activity but always bear in mind that you want to serve God and therefore should fulfil His mission first before you think of the world and its demands. Every hour you devote to this spiritual task will earn you more blessings than your earthly activity can ever achieve. But in this one you will find support so that you will also master it without difficulty. Time is hurrying by, the spiritual battle is becoming increasingly more difficult, the earthly adversity is growing, and people are increasingly falling away from God and must be made aware of the consequences, they must be admonished and warned, and God has called you to speak on His behalf, to enlighten people and to try to guide their gaze into the spiritual kingdom. And therefore you must be constantly active and not let anything hold you back but always remain in contact with God and receive instructions from Him. You should not fear that you will neglect another task, for beings of light are constantly at your side which guide your earthly work and enable you to carry it out without resistance. But spiritually they support you to a far greater extent, and you must pay attention to their wise admonitions and not resist them if they urge you to spiritual activity by causing other thoughts to arise in you in a flash which are to stimulate you to spiritual activity. Surrender yourselves daily to the care of the heavenly father and pay attention to what the voice of the heart urges you to do. Detach yourselves from earth from time to time and turn to Him in prayer, Whose servant you want to be.... Increase your strength by receiving His word, whether directly or through mediation, surrender yourselves to its effect, and then set about the day's work and it will be blessed....

And even if you create and work on earth, without God's blessing nothing you start will succeed. But as soon as God blesses your activity it will be easy for you. But God's blessing is certain for you if you are first active for the kingdom of God, if you put your spiritual work before your earthly work, if you first consider your soul before you give your body its right. God needs you, who want to work for Him as His servants on earth, and He presents you with tasks whose fulfilment is incumbent upon you and dependent on your free will. And you should take this task seriously and not become lukewarm and lazy, for every day is significant and can bring great blessings to you and your fellow human beings if it is used spiritually in the right way. But if the world is put before this task then time will pass uselessly for the souls, for earthly achievements are worthless for eternity; earthly life, however, can end very quickly, and every earthly success is futile in view of death. Spiritual work, on the other hand, carries eternal values.... And you should always bear this in mind if you are undecided about which activity you should tackle. Use every hour and serve God by devoting yourselves to Him and accepting His word, by working for Him and for His kingdom, by instructing your fellow human beings and informing them of God's will.... And your spiritual as well as your earthly activity will earn you God's blessing, and you will be successful in whatever you start....

Amen

DUHOVNA AKTIVNOST MORA IMATI PREDNOST NAD ZEMALJSKOM

Morate biti potpuno aktivni za Kraljevstvo Božje. Vi ne smijete pretpostaviti zemaljsku aktivnost duhovnoj, nego uvijek morate biti svjesni toga da želite služiti Bogu i stoga prvo trebate ispuniti Njegov zadatak prije nego što mislite na svijet i njegove zahtjeve. Svaki sat koji posvećujete tom duhovnom zadatku, donijet će vam bogatiji blagoslov nego to vaša zemaljska aktivnost ikada može postići. A u njoj ćete naći podršku, tako da ćete i nju savladati bez poteškoća.

Vrijeme leti, duhovna borba postaje sve teža, zemaljske nevolje rastu, a ljudi sve više otpadaju od Boga i moraju biti upućeni na posljedice, moraju biti upozoreni, a za to je Bog odabrao vas, da govorite namjesto Njega, da ljude prosvjećujete i da se trudite njihov pogled upućivati u duhovno područje. I stoga morate neprestano biti aktivni i ne dati se ničim zadržavati, nego uvijek ostati u vezi s Bogom i od Njega primati naputke. Vi ne smijete strahovati da time zapostavljate neki drugi posao, jer uz vas se neprestano nalaze svjetlosna bića, koja upravljaju vaš zemaljski rad i osposobljavaju vas da ga izvodite bez otpora.

No duhovno vas podržavaju u daleko većoj mjeri, i njihove mudre napomene morate uvažavati i ne protiviti im se ako vas potiču na duhovnu aktivnost time što čine da se u vama iznenada stvaraju druge misli koje vas trebaju potaći na duhovnu aktivnost. Prepuštajte se svakodnevno skrbi nebeskog Oca, i obratite pažnju na što vas potiče glas srca. Često se odriješite od Zemlje i u molitvi se obratite Njemu Čije sluge vi želite biti.... Umnažajte si snagu putem prijema Njegove Riječi, bila ona direktna ili posredovana, prepustite se Njenom djelovanju, i onda pristupite vašoj dnevnoj aktivnosti, i ona će biti blagoslovljena....

Pa i ako stvarate i radite na Zemlji, bez Božjeg blagoslova ništa neće uspjeti, što god da započeli. Ali ako Bog blagoslovi vašu aktivnost, ona vam lako polazi za rukom. A Božji blagoslov vam je zajamčen ako ste prvo aktivni za Kraljevstvo Božje, ako duhovni rad pretpostavite zemaljskome, ako prvo mislite na svoju dušu prije nego što tijelu date ono što mu pripada. Bog treba vas koji kao Njegove sluge na Zemlji želite raditi za Njega, i On vas postavlja pred zadatke čije ispunjenje je na vama a zavisi o vašoj slobodnoj volji. Tako da taj zadatak trebate uzeti ozbiljno i ne postati mlaki i spori, jer svaki dan je važan, i on može donijeti veliki blagoslov vama i vašim bližnjima, ako ga se duhovno ispravno (is-)koristi.

No ako se tom zadatku pretpostavi svijet (ako se svijet stavi na prvo mjesto), tad vrijeme prolazi beskorisno za duše, jer ono što je zemaljski stečeno beznačajno je za vječnost; a zemaljski život može biti završen vrlo brzo, i svaki zemaljski uspjeh je beznačajan s pogledom na smrt. Duhovni rad, s druge strane, donosi vječne vrijednosti.... I to trebate uvijek uzeti u obzir ako ste nesigurni po pitanju toga koju aktivnost trebate započeti. Koristite svaki čas i služite Bogu tako što Mu se predajete i primate Njegovu Riječ, tako što radite za Njega i Njegovo Kraljevstvo, tako što podučavate bližnje i obavještavate ih o Božjoj volji.... I kako vaša duhovna tako i vaša zemaljska aktivnost donositi će vam Božji blagoslov, te ćete biti uspješni u svemu što god da započnete....

AMEN
