In view of the spiritual hardship, the lord Himself descends to earth again to help humanity. This is proof of His infinite love and mercy, He does not abandon people to their fate but seeks to save them from the power of the enemy. Faith in this is the first condition for recognizing the word received from above as truth. Those who lack this faith cannot be given any other proof of the truth. It is also a sign of the times that those who want to serve Him fight against Him and that they believe they are serving Him when they reject and condemn this word. The love of God is taught, but where it expresses itself is not recognized.... The words of holy scripture are only read with the mind, but not with the heart, and their interpretation is therefore often completely at variance with the actual meaning. And when God takes pity on humanity and wants to guide its spirit towards realization, He encounters fierce resistance and the outpouring of His love is disregarded and rejected as coming from the realm of demons. And thus God can reveal Himself time and again, the human being's will stands in opposition to His love.... the human being's will destroys the effectiveness of the divine word, for God's love cannot be forced upon people, it has to be recognized as such in free will. And therefore the power of the divine word cannot be expressed in them either, for they themselves resist this effect of salvation and do not allow themselves to be grasped by divine love. And God does not exert the slightest compulsion on the human being's free will.... What he does, thinks and speaks is entirely up to him; yet he will inevitably recognize the voice of God if he devotedly entrusts himself to Him and asks Him for strength and grace to do what is right and to recognize the truth. The will to stand in the truth and the will to serve God also enables a person to examine without prejudice. But this will must be present, otherwise a test with the right result is impossible. What God gives to people can also be recognized as truth as soon as the person asks God for enlightenment of spirit. However, only mental understanding is not enough to test what can only be grasped with the spirit, what the spirit from God imparts to the spirit in the human being.... Anyone who therefore examines without having intimately connected with God will hardly be able to distinguish truth from lies and his judgement will therefore not be authoritative....

Amen
