5918 Only the willing listener has blessing....

March 30, 1954: Book 64

Open wide your hearts when you are addressed by Me, your God and father from eternity. Your inability to hear Me Myself prompts Me to speak to you through a person who is willing to help you and thus serves Me by being a suitable instrument through which I can speak to you. For all of you should hear My word, because you can only become blessed if you know My will and because I make My will known to you through My word. You, who have hitherto closed your ears to the address from above, are therefore still very poorly formed, for you lack the strength to transform your nature.... But in this inadequate state you cannot enter the kingdom of the blessed, the gates to this kingdom are closed to you and you first have to make an effort to attain a degree of perfection. For beatitude means the irradiation of love.... the irradiation with divine strength which, however, would completely consume you as long as you have not yet shaped yourselves into a receptacle for My strength of love. Therefore the gates to beatitude are closed to you until you yourselves have become what is indispensable for entry into the kingdom of light. Yet My word also reaches you, only you often don't recognize it as an act of grace from Me Who wants to help you to beatitude. But I cannot give you any other proof that your father speaks to you from eternity than that you feel a flow of strength as soon as you willingly listen when you are addressed. You must willingly incline your ear to Me and you will be beneficially touched by My word.... But the unwilling listener feels nothing of the blessing and the strength of My word.... I address all of you who are still deficiently formed because you lack faith and love.... And I encourage you to practice love in order to be able to believe and then also recognize Me.... What I have to say to you is always the same if you are still in spiritual adversity: Live in love.... Everything you lack you receive through loving activity, and this instruction applies to your earthly life as well as to the kingdom of the beyond, where lack of love results in inadequate shaping and where only love for other souls imparts strength to you, without which you are wretched. Only love allows you to attain the right faith, and you have to believe in order to enter into contact with the one in Whom you should believe.... with Jesus Christ, Who is your God and father from eternity, Who as your redeemer from death and sin wants to give you life in bliss, Who wants to open the gates to paradise for you.... Through My word I want to lead all of you to this faith in Me in Jesus Christ who are still unredeemed, who are still wretched, to whom the gate to the kingdom of light is still closed. And therefore I speak to you again and again so that the will awakens in you to unite with Me.... so that you call Me yourselves, so that you remember My act of salvation and sincerely desire that I accept you and include you in the group of those for whom I died on the cross as the man Jesus.... I only want you to acknowledge Me in order to be able to give you My love, My grace and My strength....

Amen
