May 14, 1941: Book 28

An immeasurable abundance of divine grace flows to you humans when the word of God is imparted to you, commanded by the lord Himself, Who descends to earth in order to give strength to those who desire Him and His word. God hands out a gift whose value you cannot measure, a gift which is so delicious and refreshing.... and yet only a few receive this gift. Few open their hearts and ears and draw from the fountain of wisdom. Yet God offers this gift to all people, and wherever He finds a willing earthly child He commissions it to spread His word, for He wants the truth to be conveyed to people. And now you humans will understand that God only transmits the truth to earth in order to help humanity, which is entangled in lies, to become free from the latter. For where the lie is, there is also the kingdom of the adversary, and this kingdom is to be wrested from him, the truth is to reign there. God's great love wants to help people and He comes to them despite their rejection of everything spiritual. He gives them something they do not deserve, He sends them messages through a mediator, the content of which must convince every person if he is willing to hear and accept the truth. These messages only provide purely spiritual information about the activity and reign of God and the beings of light, they furthermore instruct the human being about his actual task on earth and also give a picture of what is happening in the world, and for the sake of their significance these messages should be conveyed to the whole of humanity. Anyone who now undertakes this task of spreading the divine word imparted to him amongst his fellow human beings will be immensely strengthened, and he will be able to do something which would be completely impossible without this influx of strength, he will be able to speak according to divine will, he will receive the gift of speech as soon as he stands up for Jesus Christ, the divine saviour. This is a task which requires complete commitment, which requires a strong will and which requires constant dialogue with God.... it is a task that can only be accomplished if the person is deeply rooted in faith, i.e. if he entrusts everything to the father in heaven without any worries and only ever obeys the divine commandments; for by doing so the person will grow upwards.... He will hear what other people cannot hear, he will look ahead, i.e. God will show him in pictures the development of things that are taking place in world events. And when the human being announces this to his fellow human beings, there will probably be disbelief and doubt at first, and yet this will give many people food for thought as soon as the announcements are evidently fulfilled. Then countless people will still confess Him Who made Himself known through a human mouth, they will only now appreciate the divine gift and endeavour to live in accordance with His divine word and thus try to ennoble their nature. And then God's grace will have become effective.... a human being has contributed towards bringing light into people's hearts, and this light will emit a bright radiance and illuminate everything that does not escape its revitalizing rays. For God descended to earth Himself in order to bring light to people so that they will walk on earth with the right realization and thus make use of the divine grace which is at their unmeasured disposal.

Amen
