0811 Faith - protective wall.... divine sermon....

March 14, 1939: Book 17

And you should hear the voice of the most high and be aware that there is no other path to the father than to keep His commandments and practice love. And if you obey Him you will also be devoted to Him in love.... Then His will will be fulfilled by you and you will be in His grace. In the time of adversity which afflicts the earth you have the right support, for you know one Who is concerned for you and protects you from all dangers. For if you believe firmly and without doubt, this faith is your protective wall against all dangers of body and soul. Only someone who has such a deep faith that nothing can shake it will also be spared all danger, for he trustingly gives his life to the heavenly father and is therefore in good hands, for the father does not abandon His own.

And so today a visible sign of divine love shall be given to you, for you shall receive the word of divine preaching:

You shall build a sanctuary for your lord and saviour, you shall erect an altar for Him in your heart, you shall prepare a dwelling place to receive the divine redeemer therein.... you shall do everything to purify your heart so that He alone may dwell therein and remain with you for all eternity.... "So behold, you My children on earth, how I, your saviour, woo your love.... you are My creatures from eternity, you are spirit of My spirit, destined to create and animate like Me.... But your senses are for matter.... your longing is earthly good, honor and fame and you forget that you are My beings and turn to darkness.... Detach yourselves from the world, then you will recognize what is worth desiring.... First if you give up the world you will receive in far greater measure, for I prepare heavenly imperishable goods for you, I want to shape your life in eternity into unspeakable happiness.... I want to give you everything if only you willingly give up the world for My sake. Don't hide from Me.... seek Me so that I can let Myself be found and use your free will to follow Me, for the eternal home is with Me.... and true happiness.... true peace can only be found with Me Who is willing to give you everything and can give your heart eternal peace. And if you have found Me I will protect you from all attacks and temptations of the enemy.... But you must give your will to Me and let Me rule and reign in your heart, and you will be unspeakably happy now and also for eternity....

Amen
