PREZIRANJE SNAGE BOŽJE.... (NJEGOVE RIJEČI)

Snaga Božja ne smije se prezirati ako će čovjek na Zemlji postignuti svoj cilj - sazrijevanje njegove duše - koji je i svrha utjelovljenja. Pozabaviti se time je dakako do slobodne odluke volje, sam čovjek mora težiti tome da dospije do savršenstva, no ono najvažnije je dostava snage iz Boga, kako bi volja mogla preći u djelo. Jer ni najbolja volja ne može ništa sama iz sebe, pošto je stvorenje još nesavršeno, dakle nemoćno, dok je u stanju savršenstva već volja dovoljna za to da bi se moglo biti aktivno na stvarateljski način. No snaga je kod Boga.... Stanje nesavršenstva je udaljenost od Boga, dakle nedostatak snage....

Ali Bog Svoju snagu ne uskraćuje niti jednom biću koje za njom žudi, pošto se putem potraživanja već izražava volja za približavanjem Bogu.... no bez opskrbe snagom čovjek je potpuno nesposoban učiniti niti korak naprijed, i tada nije prisutna niti njegova volja za približiti se Bogu. Stoga je preziranje snage iz Boga isto tako i znak otpora, od kojega čovjek još nije odustao, radi čega i svaki čovjek koji Riječ Božju, direktnu dostavu snage Božje odbija, time priznaje da se još nalazi u otporu protiv Boga i ne želi od Njega primiti snagu. I takav jedan čovjek ne može napredovati u svom razvoju, njegova duša ne može sazrijevati, ona ostaje na početnom stupnju njegovog utjelovljenja....

U Svojoj Riječi Bog Sâm prilazi ljudima i prinosi im Svoju snagu, i tada je lako smanjiti udaljenost od Boga, jer rastojanje je premošteno kroz Ljubav Božju, i struja snage utječe u srce čovjeka koji Njegovu Riječ prima u sebe te po tome živi, koji tada dakle svoju volju pretvara u djelo uz pomoć snage iz Boga, koja njegovu težnju tek sad čini mogućom. Ali odbijati snagu od Boga znači ponovo se ogriješiti o Ljubav Božju, odbiti dar milosti koji čovjek ne treba tražiti nego mu je on putem Božje velike Ljubavi nezasluženo ponuđen, koji njegovo stanje jada u kratkom vremenu može preobraziti u blaženo-sretno stanje koje ga može izdići iz nizine....

I razumljivo je da će takvo jedno odbijanje dara milosti za posljedicu imati to da čovjeku na dugo vrijeme bude oduzeta milost, da zapadne u sve veću udaljenost od Boga, da se njegova nemoć odražava sve više i on bez otpora potpadne Božjem protivniku, iz čije vlasti ga može osloboditi jedino baš Božja snaga.... Bog želi biti zazvan za snagu, za pomoć.... ali On dolazi i kod onih koji Ga ne zovu, no ne nameće se onima koji Ga odbijaju. A stanje tih beznadežno je, jer nema čovjeka koji se svojom snagom može osloboditi od vlasti Sotone, i niti jedan čovjek nikada neće posjedovati snagu ako je ne prihvati od Boga Samoga, vječnog Pra-izvora snage....

AMEN

Spurning the power of God.... (His word)....

God's strength must not be spurned if the human being wants to reach his aim on earth, which is the purpose of embodiment, the maturing of his soul. It is indeed a free decision of will to tackle this work, the human being himself must strive for perfection, yet the most important thing is the supply of strength from God in order to be able to turn the will into action. For even the best will is incapable of doing anything on its own, since the being is still imperfect, thus without strength, whereas in the state of perfection the will is already sufficient to be able to be creatively active. But the power is with God.... The state of imperfection is remoteness from God, i.e. lack of strength.... God, however, does not deny His strength to any being which desires it, because the desire already expresses the will to come closer to God again.... But without the application of strength the human being is completely incapable of taking a step forward, and then his will to approach God is also absent. This is why a spurning of strength from God is also a sign of resistance which the human being has not yet relinquished, which is why every person who rejects the word of God, God's direct transmission of strength, thereby admits that he still remains in resistance to God and does not desire to receive strength from Him. And such a person cannot progress in his development, his soul cannot mature, it remains at the stage of the beginning of its embodiment.... In His word God Himself comes close to people and imparts His strength to them, and then it is easy to reduce the distance from God, for the distance is bridged by God's love, and a flow of strength flows into the human being's heart who accepts His word into himself and lives accordingly, who thus now puts his will into action with the help of the strength from God which now makes the striving possible for him in the first place. But to reject strength from God means to once again offend against God's love, to reject a gift of grace which the human being does not have to demand but which is offered to him undeservedly through God's great love, which can change his state of misery into a blissful state in a short time, which can lift him up from the depths of the earth.... And understandably, such a rejection of a gift of grace will result in the human being being deprived of grace for a long time, that he will become increasingly distant from God, that his lack of strength will have an ever increasing effect and that he will fall prey to God's adversary without resistance, from whose power only God's strength can deliver him.... God wants to be called upon for strength, for help.... But He also comes to those who do not call upon Him, but He does not force Himself upon those who reject Him. Yet their state is hopeless, for no human being can free himself from satan’s power by his own strength, and no human being will ever possess strength unless he accepts it from God Himself, the original source of strength from eternity....

Amen
