5347 God's wooing of workers for His vineyard....

March 30, 1952: Book 59

I still need many labourers for My vineyard and therefore I want you to recognize the vineyard work as important and try to win servants to whom you present people's great hardship and encourage them to participate in the work for Me and My kingdom. You should speak fearlessly as soon as you feel the urge to testify about Me and My word. You should not fear people who have no faith and ridicule you, nor people who pretend to be believers and want to call you heretics.... You should remain calm and serene and yet mention My activity. You should tell people that I train servants for Myself but that they have to voluntarily offer themselves to Me for My service.... you should tell them that everyone is called and only needs to have the will to be chosen, that everyone can serve Me if only he wants to. I still need many labourers for My vineyard, for there is not much time left and much work shall still be done.... But love shall inspire them to want to serve Me, not wages.... otherwise you cannot be good workers for Me. Yet I will reward those a thousand fold who want to help in the last days before the end, because the adversity is immense and cannot be remedied by Me by virtue of My might as long as I have to leave people free will so that they can attain perfection. But you can influence your fellow human beings, you can present everything to them, you can free their hearts from error for the time being, you can cleanse the field of weeds in order to then spread the good seed, My word, which will then blossom most beautifully. And then the great spiritual adversity will also be remedied for the one you have successfully worked on in the vineyard; then you will have rescued your fellow human being from spiritual darkness, for My word will bring him light as soon as he willingly accepts it into his heart, thinks about it and is now active in accordance with My will....

Amen
