Divine Confrontations and Inner Renewal

In a world of eternal contradictions, the spiritual element does not act directly but rather like a behind-the-scenes director, provoking clashes in which the divine and the human come into collision. During the formation of the Church, for instance, there is a noticeable play of dual laws, where the holy spark of the Spirit of God intermingles with human frailty and passions. It is precisely this dualism that creates the ground for numerous disputes, national strife, and cultural conflicts, which in turn become both a test and a catalyst for deep inner transformation in every individual.

This struggle of opposites is not just a random event—it is imbued with special meaning. As the number of believers increases, so does the strength of the demonic forces arrayed against them, and it is precisely this opposition that provides the opportunity to test the resilience of faith and see how one overcomes temptations and trials. Despite the triumph of the Incarnation and the sacrifice of Christ, evil once again finds its way onto the battlefield, urging every believer to relentlessly refine their soul and fortify their spirit.

Thus, through constant testing and internal struggle, the possibility for genuine transformation is born, with conflicts becoming arenas for personal growth. It is a reminder that even in the battle against dark forces, one receives the chance for enlightenment and spiritual renewal, turning into a living testament to the power of faith and the capacity to transform under the influence of higher powers.

How can divine forces provoke conflicts among people, and what result might this lead to?

In the presented materials, divine forces do not act directly but provoke conflicts by creating a space for the clash between the higher spiritual element and human imperfection. For example, one source notes that in the spread of the Church, a dual, God-human law begins to operate, where the Spirit of God combines with human weaknesses and passions. This, in turn, leads to the emergence of problems, disputes, national strife, and cultural conflicts—a natural process in which, on one hand, a person experiences inner transformation, and on the other, confronts challenges that arise when two opposing forces meet.

There is also the view that the greater the multiplication of “God’s people,” the stronger the force of demons rises up against them. Despite the fact that through the Incarnation and the sacrificial death of Christ the forces of evil are overcome, God allows them to return to the battlefield so that believers can achieve victories over both internal and external manifestations of evil. This mechanism of conflict between spiritual forces results in conflicts becoming opportunities for constant testing, fortification, and transformation of the human soul.

In summary, divine forces provoke conflicts among people by bringing into contact higher spiritual elements with human imperfection. This creates conditions in which defeats and trials against evil forces become inevitable, yet at the same time, open up opportunities for spiritual transformation and the strengthening of faith.

"When we speak of the spread of the Church, we must understand that a dual, God-human law begins to operate, namely: in the Church, the Spirit of God is embodied alongside our human weaknesses and passions, so that problems, disputes, national strife, and cultural conflicts arise. This is natural, and it is meant to be so: so that the Spirit may transform us..." (source: 1220_6099.txt)

"The more the 'people of God' multiply, the stronger and more numerous the host of demons rises against it. Although the Lord, through His Incarnation, crucifixion, and Resurrection, defeated all the demonic forces that incite sin within us, God, as it is said, allows them to return to the battlefield against us so that we, too, may achieve victories over them..."
