0562 The gift of speech.... backtalk.... willpower.... truth and will....

August 30, 1938: Book 12

Words which reveal the divine truth will reach you without interruption, after all, you turn your thoughts believingly to the heavenly father and try to fulfil His will. Yet the gift of speaking can only be granted to you at the time of your ministry.... i.e. when your knowledge is so great that you can distribute what you have received. For the world will always speak back to you and it requires a great gift of oratory to be able to respond to it consistently. However, all doubt will disappear when every objection can be refuted, and to reach this maturity of knowledge requires much devotion and strength of will, which you should constantly wrestle and pray for.... There will come days when a simple word of refutation can already weaken your strength of faith, and then you will have to take refuge in your saviour all the more intimately, and you will emerge doubly strengthened from such danger. Love should prove its strength there too.... Everything you do in love makes your strength and your faith stronger. And so the heavenly father wants to confront a new time with all power through His servants and therefore only needs the good will to be truly ready to serve the lord. Then all the necessary prerequisites will be clear and understandable to the earthly child, it will recognize its task and be able to turn to it without hesitation. All compulsion of the soul is eliminated, the child turns to the father completely voluntarily.... in the will to serve Him, and from then on its actions on earth will also be completely free because the will to serve provided it with everything it needed. For the will subordinated itself to the divine will, and thus the earthly child is protected from wrong influence. The future events will always be in accordance with divine will, for the spirit of God reveals them to the human being and he now directs all his steps according to divine will of his own accord. And thus he only ever hears within himself the instructions God sends to him.... He thinks and acts according to the truth as long as the will is in him to serve the deity in truth and pure love. The lord's greatest grace is to impart Himself to an earthly being, and in full possession of such grace only truth can truly exist in a person.... And then the divine will can also work unhindered through him, for the heart willingly opens itself to everything divine and thus remains constantly under divine influence. There is often unexpected resistance on the one hand.... and energetic support on the other.... and this both from the spiritual world.... yet the good spiritual forces will be able to express themselves unhindered because the will of the human child longs for truth and consciously turns away from all counter-currents. The more the will strives to come closer to the deity, the more the deity passes into the human being.... and thus the spirit of God unites ever more intimately with the soul.... and from this again the soul draws strength....
