Rely on the Holy Spirit
The course of the meditation: Relaxed and collected, think: the Holy Spirit dwells in you. That is why you are omnipotent, no one can do anything to you, you can do everything through Him. Let the Holy Spirit imbue you with His powerful presence. Lively wish that only the Holy Spirit leads you, and tell Him that sincerely. Renounce all other forces and idols. Make a covenant with the Holy Spirit. After ten minutes, decide that from now on you will ony create positive visions of life in yourself and thus believe in the Holy Spirit. Praise Him.
Man’s spirit is strong and can do a lot if one relies on it. Those strengths are manifested in suggestion, autosuggestion, hypnosis, psychosomatic treatment, a strong will to achieve something. Man who focuses on a job with a strong will will surely succeed. The Spirit acts in the manner of incubation. If man is positive, then he achieves that. But man’s spirit is limited and wounded by sin and blocked by it. There are angelic spirits who are good, and evil spirits who are evil. They can do much good or evil because they are stronger than man’s spirit. But they are created spirits and are therefore limited.
Angels guard and defend people. Evil spirits lead people to evil, hatred and violence. This can be seen in those who practice invocation of spirits and idolatry or magic, sorcery and witchcraft. People who are constantly negatively directed in this way suffer incurably from their nerves and psyche, and begin to do evil to others and themselves. Watching violence on film or television man’s spirit incubates evil within itself and begins to do it. St. Paul warns us that there are many kinds of evil spirits around us to fight against (cf. Eph 6:12). Only in the Holy Spirit, whom Jesus sent especially from the Father to the Church and to the world, can man find security and freedom from evil forces in and around himself. He is the Defender of the faithful, the Witness and the Inspirer. In Him man can do everything. He „incubates“ in the hearts of believers the good and love for every man. That is why it is important to rely on Him and constantly create positive views, good visions, and have pure and healthy eyes. Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. (cf. Mk 11:24). That is faith.

His special field of interest is the study of man’s existential-spiritual dimension, where he discovers the way of modern evangelization and the necessity of the development of spiritual medicine, which, along with somatic and psychological, is indispensable in the complete healing of man, especially in the healing of spiritual diseases and addictions. For this purpose, he developed the method of hagiotherapy and founded in 1990 in Zagreb the Center for Spiritual Help, of which he is the head.
