Omnipresence of God.... beingness - power....

God is present everywhere, His spirit is not bound to place and time because His spirit is strength which flows through everything and is therefore present everywhere and at the same time. Yet this strength is not something without being, which is why it can always be called upon everywhere, because thought and will animate this strength and thought and will are always active, corresponding to the call through beings which are, as it were, emanations of strength from it and therefore the same as God, only in the tiniest degree.... beings which are an image of the most perfect entity.... God is everywhere, otherwise He would not be perfect, for perfection knows no limitation, it knows nothing bound to place and time.... However, God's perfection cannot be grasped by human beings because man only knows what is limited and something unlimited is inconceivable to him. This is why it is difficult to make God's omnipresence credible to him, because as soon as he tries to imagine the eternal divinity as an entity, something limited is already before his eyes, which is only imaginable to him in terms of location and space. Consequently, the human being tries to explain the eternal deity with the expression strength, which is indeed truth in itself but strongly impairs the human being's personal bond with God, for according to human understanding this can only be established with a being that is capable of thinking and has a will....

But the connection with God is indispensable and therefore God must be acknowledged as a being, which is also extremely easy because every work of creation reveals a will which has become form through His omnipotence and reveals profound wisdom, thus perfect thinking. And as long as a work of creation is visible to the human eye, God's omnipotence is also proven to a certain extent, because every work of creation is an expression of God's strength, thus it must be God Himself where His strength is expressed. If the human being seriously thinks about it, the thought of an entity is much more acceptable to him, because the meaning and purpose of the works of creation leave no doubt that a wise will underlies them, and where there is a will there is also the possibility to incline this will. Consequently, the connection can be established through appealing thoughts, because the human being has gained the conviction within himself that the mental appeal will be heard everywhere and at all times, and that it can be granted on the part of the being Which is perfect and therefore also full of love and power....

The being of God is by no means to be personified, for this would be a limitation according to human thinking, which would also make the omnipresence difficult to believe, for the beingness of God cannot be brought into a humanly imaginable form. But in Jesus Christ the elemental power of God, the radiance of God, has manifested itself, i.e., it has fully and completely fulfilled a physical form, it has become, as it were, the enlivener of this external form and is therefore visible to those who want to form an idea of God.... For God allows all His thoughts to become form through His will, including the thought of making Himself visible to people without them being consumed by His abundance of strength and light. A visible form, however, is bound to time and place according to natural law, it is only then spaceless and timeless when it has completely spiritualized itself, yet it remains imaginable to people. And in the spiritual kingdom the eye can then behold this form and thus see God face to face. God's spirit, however, is active everywhere and constantly, i.e. He lets His thoughts become form through His will. He must therefore be an entity because His will and wisdom is recognizable in everything His strength has created. And since the eternal deity wants to establish the connection with Himself, the human being must also be able to believe that God is an entity, for if he imagines Him as mere strength he will never ever try to establish this connection, but then he will live his earthly life unsuccessfully, for spiritual progress must require prayer to God for grace, and this will certainly ascend to an entity Who is omnipresent but never to a strength which is denied will and the ability to think, thus the characteristics of an entity....

VSEPRISOTNOST BOGA.... BISTVO - MOČ....

Bog je povsod prisoten. Njegov Duh ni vezan na prostor in čas, ker je Njegov Duh moč, ki teče preko vsega in je zato tudi istočasno povsod prisoten. Vendar pa ta moč ni brez bistva, zaradi česar se jo tudi lahko vedno in povsod kliče. Namreč misli in volja spodbujajo to moč; misel in volja pa bosta vedno dejavni, ravno tako skladno s klicem preko bitij, katera kot da so sevanje njihove moči in so zaradi tega kakor Bog, samo v najbolj drobceni meri.... bitja, katera so kopija najpopolnejšega Bitja.... Bog je povsod, ker drugače On ne bi bil popoln; namreč popolnost ne pozna meja; ona ne pozna ničesar, kar je vezano na prostor in čas....

Božja popolnost ljudem ni dojemljiva, ker človek pozna samo to, kar je omejeno; in nekaj, kar je neomejeno, njemu ni zamisljivo. Zato je tudi težko narediti, da je zanj Božja vseprisotnost verodostojna. Čim si namreč on poizkuša zamisliti večno Božanstvo kot Bitje, si že zamišlja nekaj, kar si lahko zamišlja samo krajevno in prostorno. Zaradi tega si človek prizadeva, da si večno Božanstvo razloži z nazivom Moč; kar je sicer samo po sebi Resnica, vendar pa zelo otežuje osebno povezanost človeka z Bogom, ker je le ta glede na človeško pamet lahko vzpostavljena edino z Bitjem, Ki je sposobno misliti in ima voljo....

Veza z Bogom je namreč nujna. In zato mora biti Bog priznan kot Bitje, kar pa je tudi povsem lahko mogoče, ker vsako delo stvarstva razodeva voljo, katera je preko Njegove moči postala forma, v kateri pa je prepoznavna najgloblja modrost in zato popolna misel. In vse dokler je delo stvarstva vidno človeškemu očesu, to na določen način ravno tako pričuje o Božji vsemogočnosti. Namreč vsako delo stvarstva je manifestacija Božje moči, zato mora biti Sam Bog tam, kjer se izraža Njegova moč. Če človek o tem resno razmisli, potem mu je misel na Bitje že veliko bolj sprejemljiva, ker smisel in namen del stvarstva ne dovoljujeta, da bi se pojavili kakršnikoli dvomi o tem, da je v njihovem temelju volja polna modrosti. Kjer pa je volja, tam je obenem tudi možnost, da si tej volji naklonjen. Zato je veza lahko vzpostavljena preko miselnih prošenj, ker je človek v sebi dosegel prepričanje, da bo ta miselni klic naletel na posluh; in to kjerkoli ter vedno, in da je mogoče prejeti odgovor od Bitja, Ki je popolno in zato obenem tudi polno Ljubezni ter moči....

Božjega Bitja se nikakor ne sme poosebljati, ker bi bilo to omejevanje glede na človeško razmišljanje, katerega pa je v vseprisotnost ravno tako težko prepričati, ker Božje Bitje ne more biti postavljeno v ljudem zamisljivo formo. Vendar pa se je v Jezusu Kristusu manifestirala (učlovečila) prazgodovinska Božja moč, Božje sevanje oz. ona je popolnoma izpolnila neko telesno formo. Lahko rečem, da je ona oživela to zunanjo formo in je zaradi tega vidna tistim, ki si Boga želijo predstavljati.... Namreč Bog naredi, da vse Njegove misli preko Njegove volje postanejo forma, kakor tudi misel, da Samega Sebe naredi vidnega ljudem, brez da bodo oni pogoltnjeni s polnostjo Njegove moči ter svetlobe. Vendar pa je neka vidna oblika, v skladu z zakoni narave vezana na prostor in čas, lahko brezprostorna in brezčasna samo takrat, ko se je popolnoma poduhovila; ona torej vam ljudem ostaja zamisljiva. Vendar pa v duhovnem kraljestvu to formo oko lahko opazi in zato gleda Boga iz oči v oči.

Božji Duh je namreč povsod in je resnično neprestano aktiven oz. On naredi, da Njegove misli preko Njegove volje postanejo oblika. On mora biti glede na to Bitje, ker sta Njegova volja in Njegova modrost prepoznavni v vsem, kar je ustvarila Njegova moč (Rimljanom 1:1, 20). Ker pa večno Božanstvo želi, da bo z Njim vzpostavljen odnos, mora biti človek sposoben verjeti, da je Bog Bitje. Ker če si Ga on zamišlja samo kot moč, si on ne bo nikoli prizadeval vzpostaviti te veze. Potem pa on svoje zemeljsko življenje živi brezuspešno, ker mora biti predpogoj za duhovni napredek molitev k Bogu za milost, katera pa se dviga kvišku k Bitju, Katero je vseprisotno; toda nikoli k moči, kateri sta zanikani volja in sposobnost razmišljanja, se pravi značilnosti nekega Bitja.

AMEN
