Feel privileged, because in this phase of the mission I am going to address an essential aspect: that of training you to communicate more directly with God. For those of you who do not yet have this ability, I will explain how it works.
My brothers, I want each of you to be able to experience the happiness I have been living for eighteen years. Why did I give up everything to serve God?
Being with God brings indescribable happiness.
That is why it is often said, and not without foundation, that doing God's will is first a gift from God. If you do not have God in your life, true happiness will be impossible.
Many people find happiness only in ephemeral pleasures, such as food. But it is an illusion to think that we can always enjoy them. Many enjoy the company of loved ones, but one day these people will be gone, and we will have to learn to live without them. Some find happiness in drinking, but once the bottle is empty, they must face the realities of life. Still others claim to be happy when they accumulate wealth, but once these resources are exhausted, they must once again face the harsh realities of this world.
Sometimes you want to bring joy to others but receive anger in return. You offer happiness, and the other returns unhappiness; you act benevolently, and the other inflicts harm. Let us be prepared for such situations.
There are spiritual secrets that enable you to remain in a constant state of happiness. When you really think about God, when you really let Him into your life, you become a person filled with joy; for God is joy, not anger or sadness.
God never promised you that you would be happy in this world, or that you would have everything you want; He promised that you would be happy in His presence.
Some people expect to be happy after they have built a house or a building. But remember, there is nothing in this world that can ever fully satisfy a human being. For example, some of you might think that once you are in possession of, say, a hundred thousand francs, you will be celebrating your happiness. However, the day they reach that amount, they will realize it is not enough and aspire to a million. Once they have reached that million, they will say to themselves, "Why not ten million?" There is nothing in this world that can bring you definitive satisfaction.
Let me give you another example: when you are attracted by a garment you have spotted and want to buy, it is best to buy it immediately. If you put it off and ask for it to be reserved for you in the window, six months later, when you finally buy it, how will you feel? You will say to yourself, "Is this what I've been saving up for six months?" That is how life works.
It is obvious, then, that no matter what you achieve in this world, without God in your life, you will remain miserable.
True happiness is revealed when you are alone. That is when you can really assess your state of happiness. When you lock yourself away in a room and come face to face with yourself, contemplating your own destiny and the vagaries of life, aware of what others think of you, are you happy? If the answer is yes, then you are one of those people who have God in their lives.
But if you feel sad, then know that some people have all the riches in the world, but remain unhappy when they find themselves alone, with no one to encourage or congratulate them.
Even a parent who has raised many children without God's presence in their life can find themselves in a tricky situation. For example, God has chosen to give you ten daughters; as they grow up, they promise to look after you. Some wake you up in the morning and make you breakfast. You are delighted to have them, but do not forget that one day, they will go off to marriage. When they are all gone, who is going to cook your omelette in the morning? Your wife, too, has grown accustomed to being pampered. That is when you will find yourself alone, asking for a glass of water, but none will come; that is when you can understand the despair of some parents, crying silently in their room.
This also applies to your son. He can assure you that if he is breathing, you are breathing too. Whenever a difficulty arises, he is there to help. One day, however, he will get married and must devote himself to his own projects. So, while those plans are taking shape, twin babies are coming into his life. You call him for help, and he too, caught up in his own preoccupations, will tell you he cannot help. It is then that you realize that your son, too busy, will not be able to come to your aid easily, and this leads you to reflect on your situation.
My dear brothers, there are many examples of how we can find ourselves alone. And in that loneliness, it is essential to fight to remain happy, even in isolation. At some point, whether we like it or not, it will be necessary to seek God's assistance to maintain our happiness.
Besides, how many children are grateful to their parents for sending them to school? When it is a third party, they recognize that it is thanks to God, but when it is a parent, it becomes an acquired right in their minds.
If you tell your biological child that you have spent all your savings on his education, he will ask you this question: "And who should have spent it?" That is the question he will ask you. If you were expecting thanks, then you would be surprised by disappointment.
Brothers and sisters, human life is full of shocks. For those who have understood these truths for years, they are like a letter in the post. On the other hand, for those attached to old ways of thinking, these shocks will be extremely violent.
Some people, to gain privileges, set themselves up as masters over you, making you believe that in their absence, you are worth nothing. But that is not what God intended. There should be no one between you and God.
I am convinced that the day will come when those who know the truth, even within religions, will reveal it to you. For it is true that some people think that without their presence in a place of prayer, God does not accompany them. But I tell you that even without physically coming to the Divine Spiritual Center, if you respect God's word, God will be with you.
If you are looking for someone who is protected by God and prays only to Him, know that I am that person.
Why do so many of you escape the influence of evil forces? Because I taught you to pray only to God.
I want everyone to reach the level where just by thinking strongly about God, the reaction of God in everyone is immediate; for at that moment the nature of God and you will become One.
In fact, God created us in His image. To be created in His image means that we are His understudy, the flesh He has sent to earth to represent Him according to a precise mission.
God's work can be compared to a human body, divided into millions of parts, where everyone has a function. If only the right arm existed, could it accomplish God's mission? It is the whole human body that makes God's mission more effective. Everyone must focus on his or her mission if God's work is to progress. No one is here to dominate or crush others, for we are meant to be animated by the same spirit of God, each according to his or her mission.
If we take my case, God has triggered in me His mission to be your guide. He has already triggered in certain people their missions according to what He has planned for them on this earth.
I hope He will do the same for all those who have chosen me as their Shepherd, or who have chosen to respect God's laws. But for this to happen, it is essential that you accept that you are one of God's creatures.
Everyone is unique, and no two people have the same mission. However, our combined missions will contribute to the harmony of this world, as God desires. That is why it is crucial not to focus on the actions of others, but to concentrate on what God is achieving through you.
My brothers and sisters, truth lies within each one of us. We all carry this truth, but we often tend to reject it, influenced by what we have been taught. But if what we have been taught were true, the world would not be the way it is.
God is everywhere, God is in your home, God is omnipresent. But when you consider a human being as your God, without paying attention to what resides in him, you are making a mistake.
When God says: "If you want to do good to me, do good to your neighbor", what does that mean.
This implies that you are doing good for God, who hides behind the flesh of your neighbor, who is at the same time His creature.
If God were not with you, if you were not created in His image, why would He tell you to do good to your neighbor to do good to him?
God wants you to invoke Him and let Him intervene in your life. God wants you to invoke Him definitively so that He can act naturally in your lives. God does not want you to hold on to someone forever, because the day that person walks away, God will still be there.
It is not God in the function He uses the other who must act in you, it is God in the function He has created for you.
I am here to encourage you to awaken the spirit of God within you, for you too are created in God's image. But can this be achieved when you are in sin?
My wish is that each of us should live individually with God, and that each of us, endowed with his or her God-triggered gift, should now be able to look at how to develop God's work in the world. That's the goal we have to reach.
My brothers and sisters, most of you have yet to experience what we call: Living the Glory of God. Many of you have already experienced God's interventions after a prayer or even wishes that have been granted. God has done this to show you that He is present in your life, even if you have not yet understood.
However, many have yet to experience spiritual self-sufficiency with God.
I would like to make it clear that no one can be materially self-sufficient, because you will always need others.
God is spiritually self-sufficient and so are those who are one with Him.
My brothers and sisters, seek the true gift of God, which is to invite God into your life. Repent sincerely in this sense. Many people play with this notion, and it is unfortunate, because you have not yet managed to live the glory of God to the point of believing that prayer alone will suffice for your liberation.
When you are with God, you will find that wherever you are, darkness flees.
God does not guide you with a voice. I insist, you will not hear a voice, because when you perceive an external voice, it can come from any source. The only way to be sure it is God speaking to you is when there is no voice.
If God is within me and speaks to me to act, do I need to hear a voice?
If I hear a voice, it means it is no longer inside me. You cannot hear yourself speak; you can only listen to your own inner feeling. God does not express Himself by voice, because if He did, others might hear. This is why communication with God cannot be detected by the darkness, but when a voice speaks to you, the darkness can listen. For you to realize this, it is essential that you are first convinced that you are a child of God, and that God can also speak to you through deep feeling.
In some religions, it is said that you must ask a third party to address God on your behalf. But God asks each of us to speak to Him without an intermediary.
We are God's creatures, and to talk to God we do not need an intermediary. All we need is a guide who, through his or her triggered gift, will show us how to invite God into our lives so that we can be spiritually self-sufficient.
So, fight to be spiritually autonomous, at the risk of remaining a spiritual slave to others. Is this how God works?
Dear brothers and sisters, are you ready to fulfil God's mission according to what He has sent you to do on earth?
What you must first accept is that God must guide you directly, without intermediaries. Think hard about it, and you will see that He will provide solutions and show you where to put your feet. God's teaching is that He alone is sovereign.
Just because God is with you does not mean you should neglect your responsibilities. If you forget to pay your electricity bills, you may suffer blackouts.
My brothers, when God is in you, you will be able to say no, when necessary, without worrying about the opinion of others. Your life is more precious than trying to please anyone, because God needs you to live long to accomplish His work through you.
Happy are those who have understood. I am done for the day.
