The mystery of divine revelations is only a mystery as long as people are not yet clear about the outpouring of the spirit. And as long as this is the case they will also doubt, reject, regard genuine things as false and also listen to false prophets again, because people are more addicted to finding out about something unusual, something hidden from them, than they are to the deep desire for truth and the love for God as the original source of truth. Divine revelations originate from this primal source, because the eternal deity expresses Itself to people so that they can learn to recognize It and love It. So for the first time it cannot be denied that God reveals Himself. Whoever wants to hear Him must come close to Him, otherwise God will not reveal Himself to him. And thus the first condition is a strong faith that God is present to man.... But God's presence can only be accepted if the human being draws closer to God through love, thus if he attracts God, as the eternal love, through his conformity to Him. And thus a way of life in love must be obviously recognizable where divine revelations want to have been heard. Faith and love are therefore necessary for the time being, and from them comes humility.... a profound humility towards God, Who is recognized as the most perfect being and makes the creature's imperfection, respectively the far distance from Him, become conscious. God gives His grace to the humble.... Therefore, a person who is worthy of divine revelations will never put himself in the foreground, he will never emphasize his own person but only ever stand up for God towards his fellow human beings. And such a humble person who stands in love and faith can never be a false prophet, he will be used as God's instrument and be the recipient of divine revelations which have to be judged as spoken by Himself and only contain purest truth. There are no half truths, there is no partial knowledge, if God makes Himself known to a person, if He pours out His spirit upon a person who makes himself worthy of it. God will always and forever impart His word to people on earth, and this word of His will always and forever remain the same....
(17.12.1949) But if God speaks to people through the heart and mouth of a willing human being, if He therefore gives His word through him to all people, it must always be expected that satan will use all his zeal to prevent divine activity and, since he cannot turn against God Himself, he will try to make his instrument submissive. Thus he will endeavour to prevent people from receiving the divine word as often as possible. He will not shy away from any means, but he will always have a strong opponent in Jesus Christ, the son of God and redeemer of the world. For He was, so to speak, satan’s greatest enemy from the beginning of His mission, because He overcame him and, through His victory, wrested countless souls from satan. This enmity between the supreme spirit of light and the prince of darkness will result in a constant counteraction of the latter to the supply of pure truth. But the human being as such has a sure protection against all such influences and God-opposing efforts in the divine redeemer Jesus Christ Himself, Who, through the mere call, through the utterance of His sanctified name, gives the human being the strength to defend himself against the troublesome enemy. But this call must not merely be a lip prayer, a thoughtless utterance with the mouth, as everything that is to have the effect promised by God presupposes a prayer in spirit and in truth. Jesus Christ is still the patron of profound faith, He is still a match for the adversary's power and is only able to render His adversary harmless through His will alone. But whether people want to make use of His protection is up to them. Unbelief in the power of His name gives satan the upper hand, but then people have only themselves to blame if they fall into his power, which God will always try to prevent but will never forcibly influence the human being's will. Faith alone is the inexhaustible strength which a person can oppose the adversary and he will certainly give way, yet faith is a matter of a person's free will, he can achieve everything but will never be forced by God, which is why the human being who does not believe profoundly will feel the power of His adversary who tries to make him fall away from God.... (19.12.1949) Thus the invocation of Jesus' name is and remains the surest protection, for satan has to give way to Him, otherwise Jesus' deity would have to be doubted or satan’s power would surpass God Himself. It is wrong to assume that promises once given could lose their power and effect; it is also wrong to consider utterances of immature souls from the spiritual kingdom to be divine revelations, for a distinction must be made between transmissions from the spiritual kingdom to the human being's physical ear and those which touch the spiritual ear as works of the spirit. A distinction must therefore be made: Outpouring of the spirit in the awake state from communications out of the spiritual kingdom in the unconscious state where, so to speak, all spirits have access and the human will allows those spiritual beings to be heard to which it hands itself over. Then the formal utterance of Jesus' name is not enough to displace those spirits. But if Jesus Christ is called upon in spirit and in truth, those spirits will also be banished. Therefore it is also not advisable to establish contact with the spiritual world if the results are obtained in an unconscious state, which may also never be presented as divine revelations, because the working of the spirit in the human being is necessary for such, so that God's utterances are heard as an inner voice. Intercourse with the spiritual world can certainly be initiated through eager spiritual mental activity, because then the spiritual beings will mentally influence the human being, but then the human being's will, his way of life and his degree of maturity are still decisive as to which beings approach him and mentally instruct him. Yet the call of Jesus Christ in spirit and in truth will certainly protect the human being from spiritual danger, just as it is not otherwise conceivable if a divine power full of wisdom and love is to be acknowledged, Which also has power over satan and will truly protect Its living creations from its influence if the living creations themselves seriously want this, if they therefore strive towards God and want to escape from satan. Always seek the fault or the reason in yourselves if your experiences do not correspond to the promises of Christ. His word is inviolable, it is unchangeable and purest truth, therefore it will also remain and never lose its effect. And people will always be able to take His word as a guideline for their way of life, and the fulfilment of His promises will be certain to them....
Amen
TranslatorTajna Božanskih Objava je samo onoliko dugo tajna, dok ljudi još nisu stekli jasnoću o izlijevanju Duha. A toliko dugo će oni također i sumnjati, odbacivati, držati autentično (istinito) krivotvorenim (lažnim), i iznova poklanjati pažnju lažnim prorocima, jer u ljudima više prevladava nastojanje da saznaju nešto neobično, njima skriveno, nego duboka žudnja za Istinom i Ljubav prema Bogu kao prvobitnim Izvoru Istine. Božanske Objave potječu od ovog prvobitnog Izvora, jer se vječno Božanstvo izražava prema ljudima, tako da Ga oni nauče prepoznati i priznati, i budu u stanju ljubiti Ga. Stoga se prije svega ne može poreći da Bog Sebe objavljuje. Tko sada Njega želi čuti, mora Mu doći blizu, inače mu Bog neće Sebe otkriti. I tako je prvi preduvjet čvrsta vjera, da je Bog ljudima nazočan.... Božje prisustvo međutim, može biti prihvaćeno jedino kada se čovjek približi Bogu kroz Ljubav, stoga, kada on Boga, kao vječnu Ljubav, privuče kroz svoje suobličavanje s Njim. I tako, gdje se žele čuti Božanske Objave, mora biti jasno prepoznatljiv način života u Ljubavi. Stoga su najprije nužni vjera i Ljubav, a iz njih proizlazi poniznost.... duboka poniznost prema Bogu, Koji je prepoznat kao najsavršenije Biće, a nesavršenost stvorenja, odnosno velika udaljenost od Njega, osviještena. Bog daje Svoju milost poniznome.... Stoga čovjek dostojan Božanskih Objava, neće nikada sebe staviti u prvi plan, on neće nikada isticati svoju vlastitu osobu, nego će uvijek jedino za Boga istupati prema bližnjima. A, jedan takav ponizan čovjek koji je u Ljubavi i u vjeri, ne može nikada biti lažni prorok, bit će upotrijebljen kao Božji alat, i bit će primatelj Božanskih Objava, koje moraju biti (o)cijenjene kao izgovorene od Njega Osobno i sadržati jedino najčišću Istinu. Ne postoje polu-Istine, ne postoji nikakvo djelomično znanje, kada se Bog Osobno objavljuje čovjeku, kada On izlijeva Svoj Duh na čovjeka, koji se učinio toga dostojnim. Bog će uvijek i za vječnost prenositi Svoju Riječ ljudima na Zemlji, i ova Njegova Riječ će uvijek i za vječnost ostati ista.... (17 Prosinac 1949) Ali, kada Bog govori ljudima kroz usta i srce nekog čovjeka koji je voljan služiti, gdje On dakle, kroz ovoga daje Svoju Riječ svim ljudima, uvijek treba računati sa tim da se Sotona svim žarom umeće, kako bi potkopao Božansko djelovanje, a budući da se ne može okrenuti protiv Boga Osobno, on nastoji učiniti sebi podložnim Njegov alat. Stoga će njegovo nastojanje biti da omete čovjeka u primanju Božanske Riječi, kad god je to moguće. On također ne preže od nijednog sredstva, samo će on uvijek imati snažnog protivnika u Isusu Kristu, Sinu Božjem i Otkupitelju svijeta. Jer On je bio, od početka Njegovog poslanja, učinkovito najveći neprijatelj Sotone, jer ga je On savladao, i kroz Svoju pobjedu je Sotoni preoteo bezbrojne duše. Ovo neprijateljstvo između najvišeg svjetlosnog duha i princa tame, uvijek će za sobom povući neprestano protivno djelovanje ovog potonjeg na dostavljanje Čiste Istine. Ali, čovjek kao takav, ima sigurnu zaštitu od svih takvih utjecaja i Bogu-protivnih nastojanja, u Božanskom Otkupitelju Isusu Kristu Osobno, Koji kroz puki poziv, kroz izgovaranje Njegovog posvećenog imena, čovjeku daje snagu da se obrani od dosadnog (neugodnog) neprijatelja. Ali, ovo zazivanje ne smije biti samo molitva usana, lakomisleno (nepromišljeno) izgovaranje ustima, kao što sve, što treba imati učinak obećan od Boga, pretpostavlja molitvu u Duhu i u Istini. Isus Krist je još uvijek Zaštitnik duboke vjere, On je još uvijek dorastao moći protivnika, i jedino se kroz Njegovu volju Njegov protivnik može učiniti bezopasnim. No, da li se ljudi žele okoristiti Njegovom zaštitom, ovisi o njima samima. Nepovjerenje u snagu Njegovog Imena daje Sotoni nadmoć, ali onda ljudi trebaju sami sebi pripisati, kada potpadnu u njegovu vlast, što Bog uvijek doista nastoji spriječiti, ali neće nikada djelovati prisilno na volju čovjeka. Jedino je vjera neiscrpna snaga koju čovjek može suprotstaviti protivniku, i on će zasigurno odstupiti, ali vjera je stvar slobodne volje čovjeka, on može postići (dokučiti) sve, ali nikada neće biti od Boga prisiljen, zbog čega će čovjek koji ne vjeruje duboko, iskusiti moć Njegovog protivnika, koji ga nastoji dovesti do otpadništva od Boga. (19 Prosinac 1949) Poziv imena Isus stoga jest i ostaje najsigurnija zaštita, jer od Njega Sotona mora odstupiti, inače bi Božanstvenost Isusa morala biti dovedena u pitanje ili bi moć Sotone nadmašila Samoga Boga. Pogrešno je pretpostaviti, da bi nekoć dana obećanja mogla izgubiti snagu i učinak; također je pogrešno objave nezrelih duša iz duhovnog kraljevstva držati Božanskim Objavama, jer mora se napraviti razlika između prijenosa iz duhovnog kraljevstva na tjelesno uho čovjeka i takvih, koji kao duhovno djelovanje dotiču duhovno uho. Tako se mora razlikovati: izljev Duha u budnom stanju od poruka iz duhovnog kraljevstva u nesvjesnom stanju, gdje učinkovito svi duhovi imaju pristup, a ljudska volja dopušta djelovati na sluh duhovnim bićima, kojima je on sebe izručio. Tada formalno izgovaranje imena Isus nije dovoljno da bi se otjerali ovi duhovi. Ali, ako je Isus Krist pozvan u Duhu i u Istini, bit će i ovim duhovima zabranjen pristup. Stoga nije ni uputno uspostaviti komunikaciju sa duhovnim svijetom, ako su rezultati dobiveni u nesvjesnom stanju, koji nikada ni ne smiju biti predstavljeni kao Božanske Objave, jer za ove je potrebno djelovanje Duha u čovjeku, tako da Božje izjave budu razabrane kao unutarnji glas. Doduše, komunikacija sa duhovnim svijetom može biti pokrenuta kroz gorljivu mentalnu misaonu aktivnost, jer onda duhovna bića misaono utječu na čovjeka, ali onda još uvijek volja, način života i stupanj zrelosti čovjeka određuju (odlučuju) koja mu bića pristupaju i misaono ga podučavaju. Ali, zazivanje Isusa Krista u Duhu i u Istini, uvijek će sa sigurnošću zaštititi čovjeka od duhovne opasnosti, pošto drugačije nije ni zamislivo, ako treba biti prepoznata (priznata) Božanska Moć puna mudrosti i Ljubavi, Koja također ima vlast nad Sotonom i uistinu će zaštititi Svoja stvorenja od njegovog utjecaja, ako to sama stvorenja ozbiljno žele, ako dakle streme Bogu i žele pobjeći Sotoni. Potražite pogrešku ili uzrok uvijek u sebi samima, kada iskustva ne odgovaraju Kristovim obećanjima. Njegova Riječ je nedodirljiva, nepromjenjiva je i najčišća Istina, stoga će također ostati postojana i neće nikada izgubiti na učinku. I ljudi će uvijek moći uzeti Njegovu Riječ za liniju vodilju njihovog načina života, i za njih će biti izvjesno ispunjenje Njegovih obećanja.
