5636 Carry out the gospel....

March 26, 1953: Book 62

Carry the gospel out into the world.... My word shall be conveyed to people, My teaching of love which I preached on earth and which alone is the guideline for your way of life. People shall know My will so that they will become blessed through the fulfilment of My will. And My will is expressed in My commandment of love: Love God above all else and your neighbour as yourself.... These two commandments also include the ten commandments of Moses, which likewise only concern love for Me and for one's neighbour. I taught My disciples on earth, who were now instructed by the spirit within themselves by following My teaching when I no longer walked on earth. Thus My teaching is only intended to shape the human being through compliance such that My spirit can work in him, because then the human being will reach a level of knowledge which can never be attained in any other way than through the working of My spirit. The teachings which are brought to him from outside must first be put into practice if they are to help the human being progress, and this alone is achieved by love. Therefore it is most necessary for humanity that the commandments of love are held up to them, that they are admonished to constantly work with love for their neighbour, because only then will the transformation of the human being's nature take place and because only then will the human being be able to recognize the truth if it is offered to him. For the human being should be given extensive knowledge which, however, can only be given to him when he has prepared himself through love as a receptacle for the divine spirit. Spiritual progress can only be achieved by fulfilling My commandments.... but people must know about these commandments.... And therefore I give My servants on earth the task to proclaim My gospel, to inform them of My word, which I convey to earth Myself in purest and most comprehensible form, for what I distribute is always intended to be strong nourishing bread for all people on earth, and thus all people are also allowed to feast on it, yet it must also be made accessible to them. Whatever therefore happens in order to spread My word will find My blessing and be credited to My servant as faithful vineyard work, for it is extremely important in the time before the end.... People certainly all know the word of God because it was announced to them educationally or in church, yet they only hear it with their ears, it does not reach the heart and therefore often remains without success. For even if it is God’s word it has no effect on people who live entirely without love. Love shall certainly be preached to them but the preacher's words have no strength, the spirit which brings everything to life is missing.... Love is only taught with the mouth but no longer practiced. But My word, which comes from above, originated from Me as the eternal love and can strike the heart and shake it to its very foundation.... For it is My strength which, with the word, touches the heart of the one who immerses himself in My word.... And I want to impart this strength to all people through the transmission of My word from above, I want people to awaken to life and therefore speak to them Myself, promising them life if only they want to live....

Therefore you should be true proclaimers of My word by letting Me Myself speak through you and thus only ever be instruments for Me through which My word is conveyed into the world, so that I Myself can address the people to whom you bring My word close. Therefore, don't slacken in your vineyard activity, work diligently for Me and My kingdom, carry My gospel into the world, for people need strong nourishment for their souls, a revitalizing drink.... And you possess an abundance of it and should therefore distribute what you have received through My love, you should pass on what makes you happy yourselves, you should contribute towards people awakening from their sleep of death, that I Myself come alive in them when they hear Me.... when they hear the word through you, which only ever teaches them love for Me and their neighbour, which alone gives life....

Amen
