SAVLOV DOŽIVLJAJ.... MILOST....

Neobično iskustvo može uvijek biti ocijenjeno kao milost, jer to uvijek može pridonijeti tome da misli čovjeka usmjeri u ispravnom pravcu, kao što međutim isto tako može također biti smatrano i ocijenjeno samo čisto zemaljskim, a onda je također i milost prošla bez traga pored čovjeka. A kada bi se vi ljudi sjetili svih događaja koji su vas same pogodili, koji su uvijek služili za to da potražite i pronađete vezu s Onim Koji vodi vašu sudbinu.... Kada bi vi u svakom neobičnom događaju prepoznali znak prstom (opomenu, uputu) od Mene, onda vas zaista ni jedna zraka milosti ne bi dotakla bez učinka, i vi biste se osjetili neuobičajeno obilno opskrbljeni milošću....Vi ljudi međutim obraćate malo pažnje na Moje očigledno vodstvo; vi sve doživljavate kao samo po sebi razumljivo, a ono što vam izgleda neobično, za vas je samo slučajnost, za vas je tek jedna neobična podudarnost događaja, koji su međutim beznačajni.... Vi očekujete znamenja i čudesa.... za svakoga pojedinog od vas vi zahtijevate neosporni dokaz Mojega Bića i Mojega djelovanja, što međutim ne bi bilo od koristi za vašu dušu, budući bi ona bila spriječena u njenoj vlastitoj voljnoj aktivnosti, i onda bi od znanja bila potaknuta na htijenje i djelovanje, od znanja kojeg je trebala steći kako bi blagotvorno utjecalo. Ono što biste vi ljudi učinili u prisili, ne bi moglo biti ocjenjeno kao djelo slobodne volje.... Stoga sam Ja prije svega izostavio sve što bi na vas moglo djelovati kao prisila, bez da vas međutim pustim da odete praznih ruku.... No, tamo gdje je jedna duša dovoljno snažna, tako da čak ni jedno silno iskustvo ne smatra prisilom vjere, tamo ne postoji ni opasnost od ne-slobode za ovu dušu.... (12 Studenog 1953) Slabe duše bi se neuobičajenim darovima milosti osjetile impresioniranima, i stoga bi također povjerovale, ako su one prethodno bile nevjernici.... snažna se duša međutim ne dopušta uzdrmati, budući svaki događaj nije stopostotni dokaz.... svaki događaj koji neobično utječe na nekog čovjeka, ne treba ga nužno dotaknuti, jer on nalazi mnoga objašnjenja za to, kao što su čulna obmana, zdravstveni poremećaj, prirodni fenomen.... On, ako to želi, sve može prirodno objasniti, a jedna duša jake volje će mnogo radije prihvatiti ovo objašnjenje, nego vjerovati u stopostotni dokaz, u Objavu s Moje strane. Ali, takvi događaji koji ga neuobičajeno dotiču, ipak ga mogu prodrmati u njegovom razmišljanju, i on to može naučiti, razmisliti.... On može prihvatiti mogućnost, te sada računati s jednom takvom mogućnošću.... zbog čega onda još njegova vlastita volja mora odlučiti. Meni je strano putem neobičnih fenomena koji su označeni kao struja milosti, pokretati čovjeka na promjenu njegove volje tako da on dakle mora vjerovati ono što prije nije htio vjerovati....

No, duši koja se bori za Istinu, čija djela i misli počivaju na volji da čini ispravno.... jednoj takvoj duši Ja dolazim u pomoć utoliko što ju prvo zbunim, i onda ona iznova mora srediti svoje misli, i čovjek onda nalazi sretnije rješenje nego prije. Putem neobičnih doživljaja Ja svakom čovjeku koji ne vjeruje pomažem da preusmjeri svoje razmišljanje. Ali, većina slijepo prelazi preko toga, tražeći uvijek neko čisto prirodno objašnjenje i zadovoljavajući se time.... Tako su oni bili dotaknuti milošću kojoj nisu dopustili da postane djelotvorna na njima.... Svaki čovjek ima iskustva kao Savle, koja bi ga mogla preobraziti u Pavla.... Savle je svoj fenomen shvatio kao očigledan dokaz, također i glas kojeg je on čuo.... koji je međutim danas isto tako čujan u mnogim ljudskim srcima.... bio je za njega bez sumnje Božji glas.... On međutim nije zvučao jasnije ili uvjerljivije nego danas, kada Ja govorim nekom čovjeku da bih ga upozorio ili opomenuo, kako bih ga pridobio.... Ali njegovo uho ga je saslušalo, dok danas ljudi zatvaraju svoje uho.... Njegov razum se potrudio izvući ispravne zaključke, tako da je jedan mali poticaj bio dovoljan za promjenu volje, i onda je on svoj doživljaj dao onako kako je on djelovao na njega.... gdje bi mnogi ljudi prošli pored, bez da mu dopuste djelovati na njih.... Ja poznajem svaku dušu, i Ja svakoj duši dajem ono što ona treba, i što joj služi da postane blažena.... ipak, ne prihvaća svaka duša ono što joj Moja Ljubav nudi.... ne dopušta svaka duša milosti da postane na njoj učinkovita, ali ju svaka duša može neograničeno primiti.... Ona nikada neće biti primorana prihvatiti milost, i zato ni sloboda njene volje nije nikada povrijeđena takvim neuobičajenim doživljajima, tako da ona mora vjerovati.

AMEN

Saul-experience.... grace....

An unusual experience can always be assessed as grace, because it can always contribute to directing a person's thoughts in the right direction, but it can also just as easily be considered and assessed purely earthly and then grace will also have passed a person by without a trace. And would you humans remember all the events which have affected you yourselves, which have always been conducive to seeking and finding the connection with the one Who directs your destiny.... If you had recognized a finger pointing from Me in every unusual occurrence, then truly no ray of grace would have touched you without influence, and you would feel unusually richly endowed with grace.... But you humans pay little attention to My obvious guidance; you experience everything as a matter of course, and what appears unusual to you is merely coincidence, it is just a strange coincidence of events for you which, however, are insignificant.... You expect signs and wonders.... you claim infallible evidence of My being and My working for each one of you which, however, would not be beneficial for your soul because it would be prevented from its own activity of will and would now be driven by realization to want and act, by a realization which it should gain in order to have a beneficial effect. That which you humans would do under compulsion could not be assessed as a voluntary deed.... Therefore, for the time being I exclude everything that could have an effect on you as compulsion without, however, leaving you empty-handed.... But where a soul is strong enough that it does not consider even a powerful experience as compulsion of faith, there is also no danger of bondage for this soul....

(12.11.1953) Weak souls would feel impressed by unusual gifts of grace and thus also believe if they had previously been unbelieving.... But a strong soul cannot be shaken, for every event is not 100 percent proof.... Every event that affects a person in an unusual way need not necessarily affect him, for he can find many explanations for it, such as sensory illusion, health disorder, natural phenomenon.... He can explain everything to himself naturally if he wants to, and a strong-willed soul will much rather accept this explanation than believe in a hundred percent proof than in a revelation on My part. Yet his thinking can be shaken by such events which affect him unusually, and he can learn to change his thinking.... He can accept the possibility and now reckon with such a possibility.... which is why his own will still has to decide. Far be it from Me to induce a person to change his will through unusual phenomena, which are described as a flow of grace, such that he thus has to believe what he previously did not want to believe....

Yet a soul which strives for truth, whose actions and thoughts are based on the will to do what is right.... I come to the aid of such a soul insofar as I confuse it before and it now has to arrange its thinking anew and the human being now finds a happier solution than before. Every unbelieving person is helped by Me to change his thinking through unusual experiences. Yet most blindly pass it by, always looking for a purely natural explanation and contenting themselves with it.... Thus they were touched by a grace which they did not allow to take effect in themselves.... Every man has Saulian experiences that could change him into a Paul.... Saul interpreted his appearances as an obvious revelation, and the voice he heard.... which can be heard in many people's hearts today.... was for him without doubt the voice of God.... But it did not sound any clearer or more convincing than today when I address a person to warn or admonish him, to win him over.... But his ear listened to it, whereas today people close their ear.... His intellect made an effort to draw the right conclusions, thus a slight impulse was enough for a change of will, and he reproduced his experience as it had affected him.... which many people would have passed by without letting it have an effect on them.... I know every soul, and I give to every soul what it needs and serves it for beatification.... yet not every soul accepts what My love offers it.... Not every soul allows the blessings to take effect in itself, yet every soul can receive without restriction.... However, it will never be compelled to accept grace and therefore its freedom of will will never be impaired by such unusual experiences that it has to believe.

Amen
