3353 Promoting the kingdom of God....

December 2, 1944: Book 43

Promote My kingdom without interruption and don't let yourselves be deterred by opposition or apathy. Humanity, in its dark spiritual state, is unable to recognize My gift and in it the one Who speaks to them; moreover, it is constantly influenced by a power which wants to distance them from Me, and their souls are weak and surrender to its influence. And consequently they reject what is offered to them by Me through you.... Yet your will shall not flag, your patience shall always come forth and your love shall have mercy on these souls. You shall help them in their spiritual adversity and again and again bring Me and My word close to them, for it will be a straw to which they will cling in the great adversity which still lies ahead. And depending on their willingness they will find their hold on it. What you sow can take root and yet still grow and bear fruit if the soil is well worked beforehand. And therefore I need you as My labourers on earth, for you should make the cultivation of the field your concern, you should not leave any opportunity unused where you can have an effect, you should take the spiritual hardship into account and allow the adversary's influence to be an explanation for people's repeated resistance. Yet your love and patience should not be diminished by this.... they are all My living creations whom I love, and they stray into darkness, they cannot release themselves because their will is still controlled by My adversary and because they are too weak to release themselves from him. Their souls are in great distress and their intellect cannot grasp this; and you shall help them to take a path full of light and therefore constantly advertise My kingdom. You shall proclaim My love to them and present My constant care for their spiritual well-being to them; and you shall preach love to them which brings them close to Me, so that they can also receive My strength.... the strength to detach themselves from the enemy of their souls. As soon as you can stimulate them into loving activity your work will not be unsuccessful and constant progress can be hoped for. And no matter how much they object at first, a seed will still remain in their heart which will sprout and spread in the time to come. And you should always remember this when you encounter resistance and the work for My kingdom seems fruitless to you. I am constantly at your side with My strength, and I Myself guide you to those who need your help, who are to be introduced into My kingdom and whom My love constantly surrounds, so that they will find their way back to Me, so that they will recognize Me and call upon Me in their adversity. And as soon as you can make them believe that their appeal to Me will not go unheard, you will be diligently active for My kingdom, for this faith can finally lead them back to Me in hours of greatest adversity, and then I can work Myself and make Myself known to them and have won them for eternity. For My love never ceases, and this love seeks to win every soul for My kingdom....

Amen
