4903 Characteristics of the right servants of God....

May 24, 1950: Book 55

Anyone who proclaims the gospel to his fellow human beings, who helps them to attain the truth, to rightly recognize what the human being's destiny is, will truly not remain without My help, for his thoughts and actions meet My approval and I bless his activity. Only selfless love must motivate him to do so, love for Me and for his fellow human beings whom he knows to be in spiritual need. If other motives are decisive, if self-love is the reason for activity for My kingdom, then he cannot feel like a true servant of God, then he is just a worldly servant, he practices a profession which is assessed exactly like any other worldly profession, then he is not seriously active for Me and My kingdom but he serves himself, self-love has urged him to his profession. and My support is accordingly. And thus I assess spiritual activity according to the human being's will, for I look into the hearts of those who want to serve Me. Where the serious will exists, the attitude towards Me is also the right one, and consequently also the prayer. As soon as a person speaks to Me like a child to its father, he is united with Me and constantly draws strength from Me. And then the desire will awaken in him to communicate with his fellow human being, he will want to use and distribute the strength, he will want to pass on the knowledge he receives from Me, and thus he will become My servant of his own accord because he recognizes My will and wants to fulfil it. And now I can completely grasp him and direct all his thoughts because he has handed himself over to Me through his will, because he has relinquished all resistance against Me by establishing the right relationship with Me, his creator and father of eternity. But this is how a true servant of Mine must be, completely devoted to Me and listening to My voice within himself. Only then is he suitable as My representative on earth to proclaim My gospel to the children of the world whom he wants to turn to Me. He conveys the truth to them which he has recognized himself, which I Myself convey to him mentally or through the inner word. Anyone who calls upon Me in Jesus as father will also think correctly, because I will never allow him to walk in error if he has turned to Me. For as soon as he strives towards Me the spell is also broken, the former fall into the abyss and its consequences are atoned for and finally forgiven through conscious striving towards Me. My love has lifted up the fallen being because it no longer found resistance, and the being is again in fullest realization of truth and therefore also able to proclaim the truth to fellow human beings, whom he now wants to put into the same state to recognize the father in Me and to serve Me. These are My true servants whom I bless and always and constantly assist if love for their fellow human beings impels them to work for Me on earth. And I will give them strength to work so that the spiritual hardship will be reduced in those who are of good will....

Amen
