0656 Connection with God necessary to receive the word of God and divine wisdom....

November 7, 1938: Book 14

And you will be taught what you need to know, everything will be revealed to you which was previously hidden from you, and divine wisdom will be conveyed to you in an endless chain if you are willing to accept it. For the father knows what is pious for you, and thus He also knows how differently His children on earth have to be considered and how many-sidedly a child has to be taught if it is to acquire knowledge which will again enable it to assist its fellow human beings by teaching them. In this world of unbelief, such powers are certainly needed who are executors of God's will, and this again in a human way, in order to leave fellow human beings freedom of faith.... What comes from God is also recognized as such by the true children of God, but the children of the world have no part in the working of the deity and the deep meaning of everything remains hidden to them, it is empty sound to them, which is the deepest, most delightful revelation to the child of God. The word of God is power and strength only to him who receives it believingly into his heart, but never to the man who rejects God in his heart and only grasps the literal meaning. And thus only the one who thirsts for divine wisdom will ever be instructed in it.... he need not fear that the source of truth will ever dry up and leave him without refreshment, for God distributes without limit and His word is always and forever the same, because the truth will always remain the same. And anyone who frequently tries to establish contact with the father-spirit will undoubtedly be well instructed in everything, for God will place the constant desire for ever new spiritual nourishment into his heart with the word and this desire will always be granted. And the child will hear the voice of the father, Who lovingly instructs it as it serves him. Man soon recognizes the power of God's word in himself.... he flees the world and its pleasures and seeks his happiness solely in the frequent connection with the father, well realizing that in this connection the divinity itself is revealed and the earthly child is thereby granted grace upon grace. And once it has recognized this, it will always try to come into ever closer contact with the lord and saviour.... it will only focus all its attention on always living pleasing to God, serving Him and fulfilling His will.... for the result of the revealed will is established faith, active love for the neighbour and deepest, most selfless devotion to God.... and thus complete redemption from the fetters of matter and complete merging with the eternal deity.... and union with the father-spirit for all eternity....

Amen
