4640 God’s word most effective means for the healing of the soul....

May 15, 1949: Book 53

Whatever you receive from Me cannot but be good and must result in spiritual progress for you if only you make yourselves worthy of what you receive through your will. The will alone without the deed is admittedly of little significance if it is possible for the human being to act according to his will, yet even a serious will is considered where the possibility of implementation is limited or the strength to do so is lacking. But then strength will be supplied to the human being for the sake of his will, and this supply of strength is effected by the word which is conveyed to you by Me Myself. My word is a gift of love and mercy.... I see your struggle, you who are willing, and I see your lack of strength, you who only have a weak will, and I want to come to your aid and consider you on the path of My eternal order, which is why I do not arbitrarily supply you with strength but make it dependent on you again, on your will, which has to be turned towards Me, but then My love and mercy is always concerned about your salvation and gives you what you need. Thus, if My gift is good, you must now also fully rely on the means I give you.... You must believe that it is the right, only effective remedy for you, through which you, who are ill in your soul, will recover. If you are sick and turn to the first saviour of the world, you must also have the rock-solid faith that He can and will make you well. Everything I offer you is medicine for the soul.... always regard everything, your earthly life, suffering and affliction, your whole fate and also the evidence of My love, as remedies whose certain effect you must not doubt.... and you will recover and be released from every affliction, for My word also has its healing power earthly, so that everyone who receives and accepts it as My gift of love will also be physically strengthened by it according to the strength of his faith. How easy it would be for you to shape your earthly path of life, how easy it would be for you to develop spiritually if you accepted My word as what it is.... which contains the greatest blessing, the miraculous power, if you know how to use it. Anyone who has My word should not fear or doubt, every fear and worry should be alien to him, for through the receipt of My word he has certain proof of My presence and thus also the best means of protection against every difficulty in life.... he should only believe and trust, he should always know that he is cared for by My love and only remain at My will.... be active for Me and My kingdom and repay My loving care with eager work. He could calmly and equanimously cover his earthly path of life, which he never travels alone but in constant company of Me, because I want to speak to him and he should work with My words again, because he serves as a mediator between Me and people who are still distant from Me and whom I want to win. Therefore, anyone who has My word need only comply with this task of administering the mediator's office and he will always be able to be certain of My blessing, My love and grace, he will not need to starve spiritually and physically and will always be lovingly cared for by Me....

Amen
