The broad and the narrow path....

Anyone who has devoted himself to the world will hardly find the path into the spiritual kingdom.... He takes a broad and even path which offers him many enticing images to captivate his senses, giving his body a sense of well-being and making it impossible for him to take his eyes off them.... He will behold flourishing gardens, his lust for life will be stimulated and he will not tire of absorbing all attractions, given that his disposition desires them and his desire will be satisfied by the one who wants to prevent a person's thoughts from turning to the spiritual kingdom. His soul, however, will be starving, for none of the possessions the world has to offer will satisfy the soul's hunger and thirst, which requires a different nourishment in order to mature and recover. For the soul is ailing and unhappy if it is only offered worldly things. Yet time and again messengers stand by the crossings where narrow paths are branching off wanting to entice people onto these narrow paths. But only rarely will they succeed in persuading a person to discontinue his journey on the broad street and to use the narrow path instead which leads faster and with certainty to the goal. If people listen to My messengers and accept their guidance they will truly be helped, and soon they will look upwards and courageously start to go uphill, because they behold a marvellous goal and even obstacles or exertions of any kind will not hold them back, they will follow their guide and overcome all difficulties, for My messengers know how to describe the goal in such glowing terms that they will muster all their strength in order to attain it. But only a few people will take this narrow path at all, for the most part My messengers will not even be listened to, and the difficult and arduous climb scares those people off who only consider their body but not their soul.... The broad path, however, is a misguided path, it irrevocably leads into the abyss, they get caught up in the impenetrable undergrowth and are unable to free themselves from it unless they call upon the help of the One, of Whom they certainly know but in Whom they didn't want to believe.... He alone can send helpers even into this confusion, which will release them and guide them to another path, yet only a few will appeal to the One for help and their end will be a dreadful one.

Always remember that you don't live on earth in order to enjoy yourselves and to merely provide a good living standard for your body, but believe that you should first consider your soul. And in order to help your soul you should patiently accept all difficulties, walk the narrow path in the knowledge that it requires strength to ascend and believe that it will lead to the goal, that it will become increasingly brighter the higher you will climb, and that at the end of the path there will be One Who already expects you, that He will send his messengers to meet you who will support you and help you overcome all obstacles.... that your eyes need only look upwards in order to receive strength and light so that you will not go astray and prevail over all discomforts on the way.... But don't let yourselves be deceived by the attractive images lining the wide path that leads down into the abyss. Your goal is up high, in the light, and truly, you will only have to make an effort for a short time in order to reach the pinnacle, yet this effort will be richly rewarded, for then you will no longer need to fear any evil if you no longer disregard the goal.... which is Me Myself, Who wants to guide you into paradise, into the kingdom of light and bliss.... However, this can never be reached on the broad path, for this is My adversary's means, who wants to show you all the riches in the world in order to keep you away from the goal to unite yourselves with me again. He only influences people's senses, I, however, want to gain your souls and therefore must deprive you of everything which might damage your soul, which includes all worldly pleasures and delights, for 'My kingdom is not of this world....' If you strive for this world you will not attain My kingdom, therefore shun the world wherever possible even if you have to comply with all requirements which life on earth demands of you.... But don't let them become your purpose in life, instead only aspire for My kingdom, and you will truly not regret it and gladly travel the narrow path leading upwards, because you will soon recognise Me in the guide Who walks by your side.... Then I Myself will be able to escort you because you have made Me the goal of your earthly life and because I also know that you are turning away from the one who only promises and offers the world to you.... And the further you distance yourselves from the said broad path the easier will be your ascent, for the heights you aspire to will become ever brighter until you are finally surrounded by the brightest shine and you enter into My kingdom which will reveal unimaginable splendours to you, and then you will live in light and strength and freedom and be supremely happy....

Amen

ŠIROKA IN OZKA POT....

Vsakdo, ki se je predal svetu, bo le stežka našel pot v duhovno kraljestvo.... Ubere široko in enakomerno pot, ki mu ponuja številne vabljive podobe, ki očarajo njegove čute, dajejo njegovemu telesu občutek dobrega počutja in mu onemogoča, da bi od njih odvrnil oči.... Gledal bo cvetoče vrtove, njegova želja po življenju bo spodbujena in ne bo se naveličal vsrkavati vseh privlačnosti, saj si jih želi njegovo nagnjenje, njegovo željo pa bo zadovoljil tisti, ki želi preprečiti, da bi se človekove misli usmerile v duhovno kraljestvo. Njegova duša pa bo stradala, saj nobena od dobrin, ki jih ponuja svet, ne bo potešila lakote in žeje duše, ki potrebuje drugačno hrano, da bi dozorela in si opomogla. Kajti duša je bolna in nesrečna, če se ji ponujajo le posvetne stvari.

A vedno znova na križiščih, kjer se odcepijo ozke poti, stojijo glasniki in želijo ljudi zvabiti na te ozke poti. Le redko pa jim uspe prepričati človeka, da ne gre več po široki cesti, temveč po ozki, ki hitreje in zanesljiveje pripelje do cilja. Če ljudje prisluhnejo Mojim poslancem in sprejmejo njihovo vodstvo, jim bo resnično pomagano in kmalu bodo pogledali navzgor in se pogumno začeli vzpenjati, saj vidijo čudovit cilj in jih niti ovire ali kakršni koli napori ne bodo zadržali, sledili bodo svojemu vodniku in premagali vse težave, kajti Moji poslanci znajo cilj opisati tako sijajno, da bodo zbrali vse svoje moči, da bi ga dosegli. Toda le redki ljudje se bodo sploh podali na to ozko pot, večinoma Mojih poslancev ne bodo niti poslušali, težka in naporna pot pa bo odvrnila tiste ljudi, ki upoštevajo le svoje telo, ne pa tudi svoje duše.....

Široka pot pa je zgrešena, nepreklicno vodi v prepad, ujamejo se v nepregledno podrast in se iz nje ne morejo osvoboditi, razen če ne pokličejo na pomoč Njega, za katerega zagotovo vedo, a v katerega niso hoteli verovati.... On sam lahko celo v to zmedo pošlje pomočnike, ki jih bodo osvobodili in usmerili na drugo pot, a le redki se bodo Nanj obrnili po pomoč in njihov konec bo strašen. Vedno se zavedajte, da na Zemlji ne živite zato, da bi uživali in zgolj zagotavljali dober življenjski standard svojemu telesu, temveč verjemite, da morate najprej poskrbeti za svojo dušo. Da bi pomagali svoji duši, morate potrpežljivo sprejemati vse težave, hoditi po ozki poti, zavedajoč se, da je za vzpon po njej potrebna moč, in verjeti, da bo vodila do cilja, da bo postajala vse svetlejša, čim višje se boste vzpenjali, in da bo na koncu poti On, ki vas že pričakuje, da vam bo poslal svoje glasnike, ki vas bodo podprli in vam pomagali premagati vse ovire.... da morajo vaše oči gledati le navzgor, da bi prejele moč in svetlobo, da ne bi zablodile in da bi na poti premagale vse neprijetnosti....

Ne pustite pa se preslepiti privlačnim podobam, ki krasijo široko pot, ki vodi v brezno. Vaš cilj je visoko, v svetlobi, in resnično se boste morali le kratek čas truditi, da bi dosegli vrh, vendar bo ta trud bogato poplačan, saj se vam potem ne bo več treba bati nobenega zla, če cilja ne boste več upoštevali.... ki sem Jaz sam, ki vas želi voditi v raj, v kraljestvo svetlobe in blaženosti.... Vendar tega ni mogoče doseči po široki poti, saj je to sredstvo Mojega nasprotnika, ki vam želi pokazati vse bogastvo sveta, da bi vas odvrnil od cilja, da bi se z Menoj ponovno združili. On vpliva le na čute ljudi, Jaz pa želim pridobiti vaše duše, zato vam moram odvzeti vse, kar bi lahko škodovalo vaši duši, kar vključuje vse posvetne užitke in radosti, kajti 'Moje kraljestvo ni od tega sveta....'. Če si boste prizadevali za ta svet, ne boste dosegli Mojega kraljestva, zato se izogibajte sveta, kjer je le mogoče, tudi če morate izpolnjevati vse zahteve, ki jih od vas zahteva življenje na Zemlji.... Toda naj (te zahteve) ne postanejo vaš življenjski cilj, temveč si prizadevajte le za Moje kraljestvo, pa vam res ne bo žal in z veseljem boste prehodili ozko pot, ki vodi navzgor, saj boste v vodniku kmalu prepoznali Mene, ki hodim ob vaši strani,....

Takrat vas bom lahko Jaz sam pospremil, ker ste Me postavili za cilj svojega zemeljskega življenja in ker tudi vem, da se odvračate od tistega, ki vam edini obljublja in ponuja svet.... In bolj ko se boste oddaljevali od omenjene široke poti, lažji bo vaš vzpon, saj bodo višine h katerim stremite, postajale vse svetlejše, dokler vas končno ne bo obdal najsvetlejši sijaj in boste vstopili v Moje kraljestvo, ki vam bo razkrilo nepredstavljivo veličino, in takrat boste živeli v svetlobi, moči in svobodi ter bili nadvse srečni....

Amen
