"You shall have no foreign gods beside Me...."

To whom you give your love, that is your God.... And now examine yourselves earnestly as to what your heart desires, and if your senses are earthly directed, then mammon is your God, then you serve an idol; then you are enslaved to him who is the lord of darkness.... But you do not know the God of love as long as you serve an idol.... And if your mouth says: "I believe in God", these are empty words. For if you believed in a God of love with conviction you would also desire Him; you would serve Him alone and detach yourselves from everything that belongs to the world.... you would then have no other God beside Me.... You would give your love to Me alone and now also be allowed to possess My love eternally.... You should not treat the word 'God' so lightly, you should be aware of the word's deepest meaning.... You should consider that God is the highest and most perfect being, to whom all your love should belong.... You should not speak of faith in Me as long as another God is still desirable to you.... the earthly mammon, which you humans love above all else. Then openly profess your faith in him but do not speak My name.... For I, your God and father from eternity, want to possess all your love and not share it with the one you strive for in truth. I am the lord your God.... you shall have no foreign gods beside Me.... This was My commandment which you humans have completely erased from your memory, for you all have foreign gods beside Me; you all attach your heart to earthly goods, you all practice idolatry as long as you cannot detach yourselves from the world for My sake, as long as the desire for Me does not fill your whole heart.... I alone am the good, the true, the lovable, and whoever worships foreign gods besides Me, his faith in Me is not convinced, otherwise he would banish everything from his heart to receive Me alone, to serve Me alone.... and you can only serve one lord.... Where your love is, there is your God.... Consider these words carefully and examine yourselves seriously to whom you want to give your love.... For this one will also take possession of you.... to make you blessed or to destroy you....

Amen

»NE IMEJTE DRUGIH BOGOV POLEG MENE....« (Eksodus 20:3.... 2-Mz.)

Tisti, kateremu podarite vašo ljubezen, je vaš bog. Tako da sedaj resno razmislite, kam je usmerjeno hrepenje vašega srca in ali je vaš duh svetovno usmerjen (ali duh hrepeni po svetu); potem je Mammon vaš bog, potem vi služite nekemu idolu, potem ste vi padli (v ujetništvo) tistemu, ki je gospodar teme.... In vi, dokler služite idolu, ne poznate Boga Ljubezni.... In ko vaša usta govorijo: »Jaz verjamem v Boga«, so to le prazne besede. Če bi vi namreč z gotovostjo verjeli v Boga Ljubezni, bi vi tudi hrepeneli po Njem; vi bi edino Njemu služili in bi se ločili od vsega, kar pripada svetu.... potem vi ne bi imeli nobenega drugega boga poleg Mene.... Vi bi edino Meni podarili vašo Ljubezen, in potem bi ravno tako smeli za vekomaj posedovati Mojo Ljubezen.... Vi ne smete kar tako izgovarjati besede Bog, vi se morate zavedati naglobljega pomena te Besede.... Vi se morate spomniti, da je Bog najbolj vzvišeno in najpololnejše Bitje, Kateremu mora pripadati celotna vaša Ljubezen.... Vam ni potrebno govoriti o veri v Mene, vse dokler imate še vedno željo za nekim drugim bogom.... zemeljskim Mammonom, katerega vi ljudje ljubite iznad vsega. Potem ga vi ravno tako javno izpovedujete in na ustih nimate Mojega Imena.... Jaz, vaš Bog in Oče večnosti želim posedovati vašo celotno ljubezen in je ne želim deliti s tistim, h kateremu vi dejansko težite. Jaz Sem Gospodar, vaš Bog.... ne imejte drugih bogov poleg Mene (Eksodus 20:2, 3.... 2-Mz.).... Tako se glasi Moja zapoved, katero pa ste vi ljudje popolnoma izbrisali iz vašega spomina, ker imate vi druge bogove poleg Mene; vi vsi podarjate vaše srce zemeljskim bogastvom (dobrinam), vi vsi malikujete (Kološanom 3:5), vse dokler se ne morete ločiti od sveta zaradi Mene, vse dokler hrepenenje po Meni ne izpolnjuje vašega celotnega srca.... Jaz Sem Edini Dobrota, Resnica in dostojen Ljubezni; in kdor še vedno obožuje (časti) druge bogove poleg Mene, njegova vera v Mene ni prepričljiva, ker bi on vse pregnal iz svojega srca, da bi (s)prejel edino Mene in da bi služil edino Meni.... Vi pa lahko služite samo enemu Gospodarju (Matej 6:24).... Kjer je vaša Ljubezen, tam je vaš Bog.... Dobro preverite te besede in se resno vprašajte, komu vi želite podariti vašo Ljubezen.... Tisti vas bo namreč tudi posedoval.... da bi vas naredil blažene (Bog=Oče=Jezus Kristus) ali vas uničil (Mammon, Satan)....

AMEN
