0561 Attempts of the world against faith.... spiritual vision.... prediction....

August 29, 1938: Book 12

So prove your will by openly confessing to be a representative of My name on earth and thus I will guide you through all adversity, for the misery of the world is unspeakably great.... and in order to save the few who want to acknowledge My name I send out My servants and messengers.... and if there are many of them, the harvest on earth will also be great. In the rebuke of these servants of Mine on earth you will also recognize My love for them.... Whenever they threaten to waver, I revitalize their spirit and thus continue to promote their activity, for nothing is more detrimental to the spirit than a weary sinking into sluggishness. So let you also be a faithful servant of your lord and stop at nothing, then your strength will also grow and enable you to achieve the seemingly unbelievable.... The world tries again and again to trample all My teachings into the dust, and it finds more and more followers among people because they are very far removed from the true faith.... from faith in their saviour and in the love and omnipotence of an eternal God. All this has become nothing to them.... a legend.... far from all probability, and so they judge the work of redemption as nothing more than a legend and do not recognize the terrible lack and backwardness that speaks from such faithless judgement....

What is the value of their lives and what a suffering afterlife do these people face.... And I see this suffering and want to save them from it.... That is why I need willing labourers in My vineyard, I need servants on earth to sow My seed so that it will sprout before it is too late.... I have chosen these My children so that they should bring salvation to people and not miss anything in order to save souls from great adversity. And the hustle and bustle of the world is the greatest danger for these My representatives.... They are to belong entirely to Me and only carry out My will and completely separate themselves from the world.... Only in this way can they work in My name and hear My word in their hearts.

The speed of thought carries your soul to Me if you turn to Me in fervent prayer. Every good intention bears fruit and every teaching resonates in your heart.

All My disciples on earth shall be strengthened by Me in the same way, and My words will never lose their effect if they are only heard in the heart, for what only reaches the ears passes them by like an empty sound, but what has once taken root in the heart will outlast everything.... and will always and constantly give strength to those who hear this word with faith. Therefore hear:

Behold, your heart tells you quite powerfully that I am near, and it cheers me tempestuously.... If you now hear it sounding within you, I have completely entered into you and will always work in you and through you. So nurture your heart constantly and keep it ready to receive your lord and saviour, and know that My love embraces everything that only longs for Me. In the chamber of the heart is hidden that which is Mine.... the divine spark of love.... and awaken this to the brightest flame, then you will come alive in the deepest sense of the word, you will live only for Me and the love for Me, and nothing and no-one will have access to your heart except Me.... And so I will give you what you have been promised and a new life will open up to you.... in clearest brightness you will see My kingdom in the midst of the spiritual world.... you will hear the voice of the spirits and will be taught by them in a way that is beneficial for you. But this will only happen when the time of blossoming is over.... when the body has completely changed and is no longer exposed to earthly temptation. This wise foresight must prevail in order to spare you other things that could be detrimental to you. In the following night you will recognize the task that has been set for you.... Leave your soul to Me and give it to Me completely, the more I can protect you and make you completely My instrument. For now all events of My life on earth will be repeated.... all those who want to protect My name will be persecuted.... those who advocate the pure doctrine of My love will be taken captive and those who confess the saviour in Me will suffer.... But do not fear, no harm will befall you as long as you recognize Me as your lord. This has already been announced to the world before, that nothing can shake My power and that My will intervenes wherever people take up arms against My own. You fight for Me, your lord, and will never be able to be defeated, since I go into battle at your head and know well whose victory it is. So take everything upon yourselves and trust in Me, your lord and saviour, and you will be strong, even alone.... I am with you always and forever.... hold on to this word when danger seems to approach you.... you are never alone, but always protected by your saviour, Who loves you and to Whom you should give yourself completely and forever in order to work for Him and help save countless souls from trouble.... to lead them out of spiritual night into the bright light of day....

Amen
