Duhovna bijeda još je puno veća nego ova zemaljska, jer ljudi više ne žive u istini, a svaka zabluda je prepreka prema gore, svaka zabluda je duhovno stagniranje ili čak nazadovanje, pošto je ona djelo Moga protivnika kako bi zapriječio put ka Meni, kako bi ga učinilo nemogućim pronaći. Svaka zabluda jača njegovu vlast i daje mu uvijek nove prilike da nad ljude nadvija mrak noći. Zabluda je sve što doprinosi tome da se oteža spoznavanje Mene Samoga, zabluda je sve što ljude sprječava da sa Mnom traže i pronalaze vezu.... Moj cilj i nastojanje je to da se ljudi sjedine sa Mnom, da čeznu za Mnom i da tu čežnju srca traže utažiti....
Cilj Mi je zadobiti Ljubav Mojih stvorenja.... Sve što doprinosi tome, dobro je i nikada nije djelovanje protivnika. Ali ono što ljude sprječava naći tu vezu sa Mnom, sve što njihove poglede usmjerava drugdje negoli na Mene, djelovanje je Mog protivnika. Po tome se možete vrlo lako orijentirati u svemu što vam se nudi; bilo da su to duhovna učenja, bilo da su to poruke iz duhovnog područja, bilo da su to događaji kakve god vrste.... Uvijek vam mora biti jasno ono što se time postiže.... A odvodi li vas od Mene i (vodi) ka svijetu, ili vam otežava intimnu povezanost sa Mnom, tad znate da je na djelu Moj protivnik, koji se trudi vas ljude od Mene odgurati.
Koristi sredstva koja bi trebala izgledati kao Moje djelovanje, ne libi se naizgled raditi za Mene, kako bi pridobio lakovjerne koji ga ne prepoznaju i stoga prihvaćaju to što im nudi. Lakovjernost među ljudima olakšava njegovo djelovanje, pošto ovi bez ozbiljne provjere prihvaćaju, samo ako ima imalo povoda (impulsa) za podsticaj njihove vjere. To je njegova lukavština: naizgled jačati vjeru, a ipak upravljati u krivom pravcu.... Istina je neprestano dostavljana na Zemlju, ona se ljudima neprestano objavljuje; pa i pored toga, najdeblja zabluda i laž daleko su prije od njih prihvaćene nego samo iskrica Istine koja bi im prosvijetlila njihovo duhovno stanje. Ali Moj protivnik ima čvrstu podlogu, on stoji na tlu koje je od samih ljudi učvršćeno i učinjeno trajnim....
Moj protivnik radi tamo gdje ljudi vjeruju da su u Mojem području. I to je njegova podmuklost koja može biti razotkrivena opet jedino uz pomoć Čiste Istine, koju Ja ljudima donosim putem Moje Riječi. No samo teško ta Riječ pronalazi ulaz tamo gdje Moj protivnik brižno blokira sve prolaze. I sami ljudi stavljaju se iza Mog protivnika i jačaju ga u njegovoj vlasti....
Stoga je duhovna bijeda neopisivo velika, no i pored toga ne može biti otklonjena na silu, jer slobodna volja čovjeka mora sama stremiti k tome da stane na svjetlo i tad će se u njemu uskoro i rasvijetliti, a onda se tlo pod nogama Mog protivnika počinje tresti. No bez Istine duhovna bijeda ne može biti smanjena, jer Istina naučava Ljubav, a tko ima Ljubav, taj prepoznaje i djelovanje protivnika, i od njega će se i osloboditi, pošto putem Ljubavi u sebi osjeća i snagu da mu umakne; putem Ljubavi uspostavlja spoj sa Mnom i Ja mu pomažem ispunjavajući ga svjetlom i snagom.
AMEN
TranslatorThe spiritual adversity is far greater still than the earthly one, for people no longer know the truth and every error is an obstacle towards ascent, every error is spiritual standstill or even regression, for error is My adversary's work in order to obstruct the path to Me, in order to make it impossible to find. Every error reinforces his power and provides him with new opportunities to spread darkness across the human race. Everything is an error which contributes towards complicating the realisation of Me, everything is an error which prevents people from seeking and finding contact with Me.... It is My goal and intention that people shall unite with Me, that they long for Me and seek to satisfy this longing of the heart.... My aim is to gain My living creations' love.... Anything that contributes towards this is good and never My adversary's activity. However, anything that prevents people from finding this contact with Me, anything that diverts their eyes from Me is My adversary's doing. And thus you can easily recognise him in everything you are offered, be they spiritual doctrines, messages from the spiritual kingdom or events of any kind.... You must always try to realise what is intended by this.... And if it leads you away from Me and towards the world or if it impedes your heartfelt bond with Me then you will also know that it is My adversary's work who tries to push you humans away from Me. He also uses means which are intended to feign My activity, he does not shy away from seemingly working for Me in order to convince the gullible, who do not recognise him and accept what he offers them. People's gullibility encourages his activity, for they accept anything without serious scrutiny at the slightest occasion which requires their faith. That is how cunning he is, to seemingly strengthen the faith and yet to divert it into the wrong direction.... The truth is constantly sent to Earth, it is constantly conveyed to people and yet, the worst errors and lies are far more likely to be accepted than just a glimmer of truth, which would enlighten their spiritual state. My adversary, however, stands on solid ground, he stands on ground which people themselves have made firm and tenable.... My adversary works where people believe they are entering My territory. This, too, is his cunning, which can only be exposed again through the pure truth which I send to people through My Word. Yet this, My Word, can only enter with great difficulty where My adversary has carefully closed all doors. And people themselves support My adversary and uphold his power.... This is why the spiritual adversity is so indescribably great and yet cannot be forcibly eliminated, because the human being has to strive of his own free will to enter the light, then he will soon be illuminated and the ground beneath My adversary's feet will begin to falter. Nevertheless, without the truth spiritual hardship cannot be reduced, for the truth teaches love, but anyone in possession of love will also recognise the adversary's activity and release himself from him, given that his love also gives him the strength to escape from him, since due to his love he establishes unity with Me and thus I support him by imbuing him with light and strength....
Amen
