Prayer in spirit and in truth.... Pious gestures....

I take no notice of pious gestures; they are, after all, merely outer ostentatious covers which are intended to conceal the heart from onlookers. Anyone who truly sincerely thinks of Me and speaks to Me with simple, unembellished words considers every ceremony, every external movement or gesture to be strange; the heart does not need it, it takes the straight path to Me and exclaims its distress or its love and adoration of Me and I hear every thought which rises up to Me from the heart. But where an inner feeling is meant to be outwardly recognisable too much value is placed on other people's opinion, since I Myself have no need of such external testimonies and without them a person's heart lies openly before Me. In that case you only want to convince your fellow human beings of an apparently intimate relationship with Me, and thus you don't approach Me with an undivided mind but place too much importance on other people's judgment. But, in addition, your prayer will also lack depth of feeling, for heartfelt contact with Me lets you forget everything around you but also makes every external gesture seem absurd and derisive.

Therefore, as long as you still outwardly portray what should only move you within you still have not found heartfelt union with Me in your thoughts, which does not allow for external actions, because then you will be so completely seized by Me that you will forget the world around you, that you will be true children of your Father whose love for the Father leaves no space for anything else. You should certainly not forget your fellow human being and always have an open eye and ear for his problems, you should not carelessly ignore him if he comes to you full of grief; you should not neglect him, not be arrogant towards him but humbly stand by him with patience and compassion and do everything in your power to help him for love of him. However, if you desire to enter into heartfelt communication with Me your thoughts should only apply to Me, and nothing of an external nature should disturb or identify this heartfelt bond.... For I want to be prayed to in spirit and in truth and this should happen in private, where no-one is a witness of the communication of heart between Father and child.... And all pretence should fall away from you, for I Am the Eternal Truth and also want to be called upon in all truthfulness....

Amen

MOLITEV V DUHU IN RESNICI.... RELIGIJSKA CEREMONIJA....

Jaz ne usmerjam pozornosti na religijske ceremonije. One namreč vedno dajejo samo zunanji sijaj, katerega namen je preprečiti pogled v srce. Tistemu, ki resnično globoko in iskreno misli na Mene in ki Mi govori z enostavnimi, skromnimi (neolepšanimi) besedami, je vsakršna ceremonija, vsaka zunanja kretnja oz. gesta tuja. Takšne stvari srcu niso potrebne; ono se neposredno obrača na Mene in Mi razodeva svoje težave ali svojo Ljubezen in izkazuje oboževanje; in Jaz opazim vsako misel, ki se iz srca dviga k Meni. Tam, kjer mora biti notranja izkušnja vidna navzven, se daje prevelik pomen mišljenju drugih ljudi; Jaz namreč ne potrebujem dokazov navzven, ker je tudi brez njih človekovo srce odprto pred Menoj. Torej vi tedaj samo želite dokazati ljudem vaš domnevno intimen odnos z Menoj, tako da k Meni ne pristopate z dosledno zavestjo (zavestjo, ki ni razdeljena), temveč dajete prevelik pomen mišljenju drugih ljudi. Pri tem pa tudi vaša molitev izgublja njeno iskrenost, (pri)srčnost in globino. Iskrena povezanost z Menoj vam namreč omogoča, da pozabite na vse okoli sebe in tudi to, da se vam vsakršna zunanja gesta (predstava) zdi brezsmiselna ter vredna prezira. Vse dokler navzven prikazujete tisto, kar bi vam moralo samo znotraj dajati spodbudo, potem v svojih mislih še niste našli iskrene in globoke povezanosti z Menoj, ki pa ne dovoljuje zunanjih gest, ker ste vi tedaj tako zelo zaposleni z Menoj, da pozabite na svet okoli vas; se pravi, da ko ste resnični otroci vašega Očeta, vaša Ljubezen do Očeta ne daje prostora ničemur drugemu. Vsekakor pa ne smete pozabiti na Ljubezen do bližnjega in morate vedno imeti odprte oči in ušesa za njegove težave; ne smete ravnodušno iti mimo njega, ko pristopi k vam poln trpljenja in skrbi. Ne smete ga prezreti in ne smete biti prevzetni do njega, temveč mu morate ponižno, s potrpežljivostjo in sočutjem dati podporo ter mu, kolikor lahko, služiti z Ljubeznijo do njega. Toda takrat, ko želite vstopiti v poglobljen odnos z Menoj, mora biti vaše razmišljanje usmerjeno samo k Meni. In nič zunanjega ne bi smelo zmotiti tega oz. zaznamovati te iskrene ter globoke povezanosti.... Jaz namreč želim, da se k Meni moli v duhu in Resnici, kar pa se mora dogajati v tihi sobici, kjer ni nihče priča intimnemu pogovoru med Očetom in otrokom (Matej 6:5-8).... In vsakršno pretvarjanje mora odpasti od vas, ker sem Jaz večna Resnica in želim, da se Me kliče v vsej Resnici....

AMEN
