4976 Power of love.... power of faith....

September 29, 1950: Book 56

The strength from Me also enables you to be extraordinarily active, yet you must take care yourselves that it flows to you. You have to request it with faithful trust that I will grant your request for strength; or you have to acquire it yourselves through loving activity, for then you will work with Me by uniting yourselves with Me through every work of love and can then use My strength without limitation. Yet you lack the belief that you are powerful if you live a life of love, and thus you do not use the strength which, however, is at your disposal. And even My words are not enough to bring the belief in this to life in you, even though you only need to try it out in order to convince yourselves of the strength from Me in you. In unity with Me you can achieve everything.... Yet I cannot force you into this faith, I can only inform you of it through My word; I can advice you to let faith revive in you and again and again try to imagine My presence which awakens trust in Me in you, so that you will consult Me when you need My strength, that you will ask Me to help you and lose every weakness of faith. I want you to be strong in faith when great adversity befalls you, which you will then be able to banish at any time through the strength of faith. Believe that you possess My love, that I, as your father, will not deny you what you need; believe that the father does not let His children hope for His help in vain; believe that you, having emerged from Me, are My share, thus you can also shelter the same strength within yourselves which is able to do everything because it is divine strength and is also unlimitedly at your disposal, My living creations. And use this strength.... Subordinate your will to Mine and then you will only use the strength to work in accordance with My will. Join in intimate union with Me and then want to do what your heart tells you to do, through which My will now expresses itself and then acts, and you will be able to do everything with My strength.... Believe in it and test the strength of faith, and it will be all the stronger the more you unite with Me through loving activity. For then I Myself will work in and with you and you will accomplish everything with My strength....

Amen
