Suitability for spiritual work - dedication of the world....

Those who feel called to work for Me by hearing My spirit's utterance as a spoken or mentally conveyed word must continue to be eagerly active and not lose themselves to the world. Nevertheless, the world is still their environment, i.e., as long as they stay on earth the world also approaches them with its demands. But it can be overcome if the heart frees itself from desires and wishes of any kind. The love that develops in every human being can be directed rightly or wrongly. If it belongs to the world then it is a wrong love which has to be fought against if the human being wants to be in contact with Me and thus active for Me. Thus the love directed towards Me is the right one, and this love must fill a person who wants to work as My servant for Me and My kingdom. There must only be room for Me in his heart, thus no concession can be made to the world, and that is what is difficult for the human being and why only rarely is someone suitable for spiritual work, for a service which requires unconditional devotion from the world. Therefore I have to choose My workers for Myself, I have to train their ability to tear the love for the world out of their heart, however, not compulsorily, but I have to try to change his will so that he surrenders to Me and is no longer turned towards the world. And thus the world's goods must be presented to him as worthless and impermanent, which is only possible if they leave him unsatisfied so that he no longer desires them. If a person has a very worldly attitude he lacks spiritual contact with Me, and then he will also never be able to accomplish spiritual work. But it often takes a long time before a person has recognized the worthlessness of the world, and therefore workers will rarely be found who offer their services to Me of their own free will. For the world approaches people again and again and seeks to capture their thoughts. And it will always mean a battle which, however, has to be carried out for the sake of the soul's salvation, and this battle always has to end with the defeat of My adversary who is the prince of this world and against whom this battle is therefore waged. No matter in which form this battle takes place, the success will always be a spiritual maturing, but the cause is worldly desires and their fulfilment. Therefore, consider every disappointment, every failure, every suffering through material losses as a means to overcome desires and cravings, and surrender to it without complaint, for it helps you to overcome everything that hinders you from being a good and eager servant in My vineyard.... it helps you to free your heart and prepare it to receive Me, Who truly offers you something that surpasses worldly pleasures. Give up the world and exchange Me for it, and you will gain the most delicious if I Myself am within you and bestow spiritual wealth upon you, which is truly refreshment for your soul and cannot be compared to what the world offers you. Serve Me diligently and make yourselves worthy of the privilege of having been accepted as labourers for My kingdom.... Use your service diligently, so that one day you will be rewarded as faithful servants and be blessed....

Amen

PODOBNOST ZA DUHOVNI RAD - ODUSTAJANJE OD SVIJETA....

Oni koji se osjećaju pozvani da rade za Mene nakon što su opazili izražaj Moga Duha kao izgovorenu ili misaono posredovanu Riječ, moraju trenutačno biti marljivo aktivni i ne smiju se izgubiti u svijetu. Pa i pored toga svijet je ono što ih okružuje, tj. dok god borave na Zemlji, svijet im prilazi sa svojim zahtjevima. No njega se može nadvladati ako se srce oslobodi od žudnjī i željā raznoraznih vrsta.

Ljubav, koja se razvija u svakom čovjeku, može biti ispravno ili krivo usmjerena. Ako ona pripada svijetu, onda je ona kriva ljubav, protiv koje se treba boriti želi li čovjek sa Mnom ostati u kontaktu i tako za Mene biti aktivan. A Meni usmjerena Ljubav je ispravna, i ta Ljubav mora ispunjavati čovjeka koji kao Moj sluga želi raditi za Mene i Moje Kraljevstvo. U njegovom srcu mora biti mjesta samo za Mene, dakle svijetu se ne smiju raditi ustupci, a to je ono što čovjeku teško pada i radi čega je samo rijetko itko podoban za duhovni rad, za službu koja je uvjetovana bezuvjetnim odustajanjem od svijeta.

Zato Ja Sebi moram odabrati Moje radnike, Ja moram izgraditi njihovu sposobnost, iz srca im istrgnuti ljubav prema svijetu, no ne pod prisilom, nego se moram truditi promijeniti njegovu volju, da Mi se preda i da više ne bude okrenut ka svijetu. Tako da mu svjetovna dobra moraju biti predstavljena kao bezvrijedna i nestalna, što je moguće jedino ako ga ona ostave nezadovoljenog, tako da ih on više ne žudi. E sad, ako je čovjek vrlo svjetovno nastrojen, nedostaje mu duhovni kontakt sa Mnom, pa on onda nikako neće ni biti u stanju vršiti duhovni rad.

No često prođe puno vremena prije negoli čovjek spozna bezvrijednost svijeta, i zato se rijetko nalaze radnici koji Mi nude svoju službu u slobodnoj volji. Jer svijet uvijek i uvijek nanovo prilazi ljudima i trudi se zarobiti njihove misli. A to će uvijek predstavljati borbu, no ona mora biti izvedena radi spasenja duše, i ta borba uvijek mora završiti sa porazom Mog protivnika, koji je knez ovoga svijeta i protiv kojega se dakle vodi ta borba.

U kojem god obliku da se ova borba odigrava, uspjeh će uvijek biti duhovno sazrijevanje, no poticaj su svjetovne želje i njihovo ispunjenje. Stoga promatrajte svako razočaranje, svaku muku radi materijalnih gubitaka, kao sredstvo za nadvladavanje željā i žudnjī, i tome se prepustite bez žaljenja, jer to vam pomaže u nadvladavanju svega što vam je prepreka tomu da budete dobar i marljiv sluga u Mome vinogradu.... Pomaže vam da oslobodite vaše srce i uredite ga za prijem Mene, Koji vam uistinu nudim nešto što nadilazi svjetovne radosti.

Odustanite od svijeta, i zamijenite Mene za njega, i dobivate ono što je najdragocjenije kad sam Ja Sâm u vama i dajem vam duhovno bogatstvo, koje je za vaše duše istinski balzam i osvježenje i ne može se usporediti sa onim što vam svijet nudi. Služite Mi marljivo, i učinite se dostojnim povlastice da budete prihvaćeni kao radnici za Moje Kraljevstvo.... Vršite vašu službu savjesno, kako biste jednom bili nagrađeni kao vjerne sluge i bili blaženi....

AMEN
