5531 Spiritual reception - mind work.... worker in the vineyard....

November 11, 1952: Book 61

It is a blessed beginning to place your strength into My service, for as soon as a person offers himself to Me for My service he will also constantly enjoy My protection, then he will always carry out My instructions because there is no longer any resistance in him against My will. Complete subordination of his will to Mine is the first condition for him to be regarded as a servant of Mine, for resistance against My will drives him a different path than the one I show him. My will is to bring the truth to people.... therefore anyone who completely enters into My will is suitable to receive the truth from Me and pass it on to his fellow human beings. Anyone who has no will other than Mine cannot grasp any thoughts other than those which are entirely within the truth. This realization would be a sure means for you to check whether truth is offered to you or not.... But often people are not clear themselves how far they subordinate their own will to Mine.... they are still too much active with their intellect and then let their own will emerge, and then they are no longer suitable to receive and spread truth. They observe themselves too little and are therefore not aware that they do not 'receive' but produce themselves, that their intellect works where the heart should receive. And thus it can be explained that people who are considered to be in My service are given the pure truth.... but who do not find the right attitude towards Me, who let their own thoughts gain the upper hand, who certainly also work in the same direction of thought but who, as it were, are active as writers and exploit the thought material which they have made their own spiritual property. Such intellectual work will never have a detrimental effect on fellow human beings because such a person's thinking has already taken a right direction.... on the contrary, such intellectual work can also exert an educational influence on fellow human beings, it can be recognized as strengthening and awakening faith and will never incur My displeasure. For the human being works for Me and in My spirit. Therefore I also bless his activity and value it as the work of a servant in the vineyard of the lord. It is free work for Me and My kingdom but nevertheless not the fulfilment of a mission which is assigned to the person who has offered himself to Me for service.... For such a mission requires unconditional subordination of the will under Mine, it requires that the human being completely renounces his own will and only wants to do what corresponds to this mission.... Thus he allows My will to flow completely into his own.... Only such complete devotion can bring a work to fruition which I recognized as exceedingly beneficial and important but which has to be done by a human being in free will, because people's free will is taken into account. It is not an easy task as long as the world still has an effect on the human being, but it can be accomplished if the bond with Me is stronger than the bond with the world, if the human being surrenders to Me without restriction, if he no longer achieves anything for himself, neither recognition nor earthly compensation; if he only wants to serve the pure truth and puts spiritual work before every other activity.... if he is seriously willing to be a faithful servant to Me. Then I am his constant companion, then I Myself assign his daily work to him, then there is no longer any thinking and dividing of his own for him, then his thoughts are inspired by Me Myself, then he no longer bears responsibility for his actions because My will determines him, yet not under compulsion but in fullest agreement with his will, which he has freely subordinated to Me through his serving devotion to Me. Then the mission can be fulfilled on his part, then he is the organ through which I express Myself, and he now receives and spreads purest truth, for all opposing forces are silenced as soon as he has consciously entered into contact with Me, as soon as he is willing to receive My word, because it is his mission to be a mediator between Me and people, to give them what they need but which I Myself cannot hand to them so as not to force their faith. Anyone who makes himself available to Me for this mediator's office is then also My representative on earth when he speaks for Me and My name. And thus what he receives is also directly from Me, intended for all people, and if I want to provide all people with the pure truth, because they need it exceedingly, I will also ensure that it can reach them unadulterated, which is only possible if My servant and co-worker on earth always desires the truth and appeals to Me for protection from error. Then I Myself will stand by his side as protection, because I Myself will then be desired if the human being desires the truth....

Amen
