1 Tessalonians 2, 13.... (according to Luther)

You are constantly given knowledge of God's working in the human being.... For the knowledge of this has been lost to humanity because people have distanced themselves so far from God that they cannot be permeated by His strength, i.e. that the effect of His flow of strength of love on the human being is curbed, if not prevented altogether. But the great distance is the result of unkindness, or also: Anyone who lives in love is connected to God and voluntarily opens himself to His illumination of love.... And receiving God's ray of love also means allowing God's working in the human being.... It means that the human being slowly returns to his original state where he was flooded with light and strength and stood in brightest realization.... However, knowledge, i.e. truthful knowledge, can only be attained from God Himself, the spirit from God that slumbers in the human being must be awakened, unite with the father-spirit from eternity and consciously strive towards this father-spirit..... Then the divine flow of love flows unhindered into the human being who allows this radiation. But then one can no longer speak of spiritual intercourse with the spirit kingdom.... nor can there be any talk of receiving spiritual messages in a mediumistic state.... but the "working of God in man" must be openly and clearly acknowledged, which produces spiritual results that are above criticism.... Yet because you humans know nothing of the fact that you can establish such a heartfelt bond with God that He reveals Himself, you deny any divine influx, even though you have to admit that a power is at work which cannot be explained earthly when a spiritual thinking is imparted to you which was completely alien to you. You want to dismiss everything with the working of satanic forces and thus attribute more power to this satanic force than to the divine one, for you first doubt God's great love Who wants to save but not condemn.... And precisely this judgment betrays yourselves and your spirit, it betrays that you are still ignorant, otherwise you would be able to clearly differentiate between divine activity and satanic influence. The very fact that you lack this discernment also explains that God's adversary can often intervene in your thoughts because the right light has not yet been kindled in you.... For anyone who stands in the right light, who stands in the truth which originates from God Himself as the eternal truth, will not doubt for a moment that God reveals Himself to people because He wants them to reach their goal in earthly life.... because He wants them to take the path to Him from Whom they once originated, and because this path has to be illuminated, which can only ever be achieved by the truth. For truth is the light which shines brightly into the night, which breaks through the darkness of spirit in which humanity walks. Therefore, as long as you humans still spread misguided teachings as truth, the spirit in you cannot yet be awakened, and as long as you do not have the right to judge and describe a divine revelation as the work of the adversary, you should first seriously examine and remember all sayings of Jesus which you cannot dismiss as lies.... For Jesus Himself said: "I will reveal Myself to you....“ „I will send you the comforter who will guide you into the truth...." Anyone who acknowledges Jesus and His work of redemption must also acknowledge His gospel, which He taught on earth, as pure truth, which often enough points to the working of the spirit in the human being.... Anyone who acknowledges Jesus as God's son in Whom God Himself manifested Himself, so that Jesus and God are one and cannot be separated from each other, will know the truth and will always understand the 'working of God in the human being'. And then he will no longer want to associate this working with the working of the opposing forces which only ever spread error and often make use of people who initiate contact with the world of spirits and who themselves cannot yet demonstrate the preconditions which guarantee a direct approach to God.... Truly, you humans will be exposed to strong errors and you will only be able to carry out all tests with God's support. But then you will truly also be guided into right thinking and no longer be subject to error. For God is love, God is light.... He does not want people to walk in spiritual darkness, He wants to kindle a light for them Himself, He wants to convey the truth to them if they are willing to accept it.... He wants to reveal Himself to people, and thus He lets His ray of light of love fall to earth, into which every person can enter who desires to stand in the light himself. And anyone who has been taught by God Himself need truly not fear taking the wrong path, for God Himself guides him by the hand through earthly life so that he can also teach his fellow human beings as he himself was taught by Him, so that light will shine everywhere where deepest darkness still reigns....

Amen

1 SOLUNJANIMA 2:13.... (po Lutheru)

Neprestano vam se daje znanje o djelovanju Boga u čovjeku.... jer čovječanstvo je izgubilo znanje o tome, pošto su se ljudi sami toliko puno udaljili od Boga, tako da ne mogu biti prožeti Njegovom snagom, što će reći da je djelovanje toka Njegove Ljubav-ne snage na čovjeka prigušeno, pa čak i spriječeno. A velika udaljenost je odsustvo Ljubavi, jer: Tko živi u Ljubavi, spojen je s Bogom, i dobrovoljno se otvara zračenju Njegove Ljubav-ne snage.... primiti Božju zraku Ljubav-ne snage znači u čovjeku dopustiti djelovanje Boga.... To znači da se čovjek opet polagano vraća u svoje izvorno stanje, gdje je bio prožet svjetlom i snagom i bio u naj-jasnijoj spoznaji....

A spoznaja, što će reći istinsko znanje, može se dobiti jedino od Samog Boga; Duh iz Boga, koji drijema u čovjeku, mora biti probuđen, mora se povezati s Očevim Duhom iz vječnosti i Ocu Duhu svjesno stremiti.... Tada Božanska struja Ljubav-ne snage nesmetano utječe u čovjeka koji taj protok dopušta. Tad više nije riječ o spiritističkom općenju s duhovnim carstvom.... Niti je riječ o primanju duhovnih objava u medijskom stanju.... Nego se otvoreno i jasno mora priznati “djelovanje Boga u čovjeku”, a ono donosi duhovne rezultate, koji su iznad svake kritike....

No pošto vi ljudi ne znate ništa o tome da možete uspostaviti tako jedan prisan odnos sa Bogom da se On Sam može objaviti, vi poričete svaki Božanski pritok, pa čak i ako morate priznati da je na djelu snaga koja se ne da objasniti na zemaljski način, kad vam je pružano duhovno dobro koje vam je bilo potpuno nepoznato. Želite sve to zanemariti kao djelovanje sotonskih snaga i tako dakle toj sotonskoj snazi pri-dajete više moći nego Božanskoj, pošto sumnjate u veliku Ljubav Boga Koji želi spasiti a ne prokleti.... I upravo taj sud odaje vas same i vaš duh, odaje da ste još neznalice, inače biste mogli jasno razlikovati između Božanskog djelovanja i sotonskih utjecaja.

Samo to što vam nedostaje ta moć rasuđivanja, objašnjava i to da se protivnik Boga često može uključiti u vaše misli, pošto u vama još nije zapaljeno pravo svjetlo.... Jer tko je u pravom svjetlu, tko je u Istini, koja izlazi od Samog Boga kao Vječne Istine, taj neće jedan trenutak dvojiti to da se Bog Sam ljudima objavljuje, pošto On želi da u zemaljskom životu postignu svoj cilj.... pošto želi da se zapute putem ka Njemu, od Kojega su nekoć izašli, i pošto taj put mora biti osvijetljen, što uvijek samo Istina može postići. Jer Istina je svjetlo koje jasno blješti u noć, i probija tamu duha u kojoj hodi čovječanstvo.

Dokle god dakle vi ljudi kriva učenja razglašavate kao Istinu, Duh u vama ne može još biti probuđen, i dokle god (je to tako) nemate pravo suditi i Božansko otkrovenje nazivati djelovanjem protivnika, i najprije (to) trebate ozbiljno ispitat(iv)ati i prisjećati se svih Isusovih izjava, koje ne možete odbaciti kao laž.... Jer Sam Isus je rekao: “Ja ću vam se objaviti....” (Ivan 14:21. “Poslat ću vam utješitelja, koji će vas uvesti u Istinu....” (Ivan 14:16, 17; 16:13).

Tko priznaje Isusa i Njegovo djelo spasenja, on mora kao Čistu Istinu priznati i Njegovo evanđelje koje je naučavao na Zemlji i koje je dosta često upućivalo na djelovanje duha u čovjeku.... Tko Isusa priznaje kao Sina Božjega, u Kojem se Sam Bog očitovao, tako da su Isus i Bog jedno te isto (Ivan 10:30) i da se ne mogu jedno od drugog razdvojiti.... taj je u Istini, a njemu će i “djelovanje duha u čovjeku” uvijek biti jasno. I on onda neće to djelovanje htjeti dovoditi u vezu sa djelovanjem suprotnih sila, koje uvijek samo rasprostiru zablude, i za to se često koriste onim ljudima koji tome otvaraju prolaz općenjem sa svijetom duhova, a sami još ne ispunjavaju preudvjete koje jamče direktno obraćanje Boga ....

Uistinu, vi ljudi ćete biti izloženi snažnim zabludama, i sva ispitivanja moći ćete poduzimati jedino uz Božju podršku. A tada ćete uistinu i biti uvedeni u ispravno razmišljanje, i nećete više podlijegati zabludi. Jer Bog je Ljubav, Bog je Svjetlo.... On ne želi da ljudi tumaraju u mraku duha, On im Sam želi zapaliti svjetlo, On im želi dostaviti Istinu, ako su spremni da prihvatiti ju....

On Sam se želi ljudima objaviti, tako da On čini da na Zemlju padne Njegova zraka ljubavi, u koju može zakoračiti svaki čovjek koji žudi stajati u svjetlu. I tko je tad od Samog Boga podučen, on uistinu ne treba da se boji da će ići krivim stazama, jer njega kroz zemaljski život za ruku vodi Sam Bog, tako da on može podučavati i svoje bližnje, kao što je i on od Njega bio podučen, kako bi svjetlo bilo svugdje gdje još vlada najdublja tama....

AMEN
