7299 Love awakens the spirit, the spirit sets free....

March 5, 1959: Book 77

Nothing is able to bind the spirit which you give life to within you through love.... It will assert itself against all desires of the body, it will try to determine the soul to influence the will in the right way, and it can also do this because love in you grants it the right to do so and because, as a divine part, it is stronger than all mortal things in you and the soul voluntarily submits itself to it. The spirit in you is My share.... So who or what should be able to resist Me Myself if you don't want to do so yourselves? And the love within you demonstrates the will to completely submit to Me, for love is the same as I am Myself, and love pushes towards Me.... And thus you will be free as soon as you awaken the spirit in you to life through love, for contact with Me also signifies freedom, for only My adversary puts shackles on you, but I Myself try to break these shackles and therefore will never tolerate a gagging of your will as soon as it has turned towards Me through loving activity. And thus, once again, it is love which accomplishes this.... Love alone is the bond with Me which sets you free, love alone is the wake-up call of the spirit in you, and the soul will now only ever obey its voice and thus determine the will to completely submit to the spirit's desire, that is, to enter into My will. The way My spirit expresses itself is not subject to doubt.... It will always emphasize the law of eternal order, and this law is: love.... Love therefore determines the spirit to express itself, and the expression of the spirit is in turn a call to loving activity, which is why there can no longer be any eternal decline once the human being has awakened the spirit within himself to life through love.... Then the soul's process of further development has to proceed, then the goal is also assured for it: union with Me on earth already as soon as the human being has only declared himself willing to work with love on earth.... And what it means to have given life to the spirit within you will only become clear to you when the spirit introduces you to truth, when it gives you light and you receive bright knowledge which will make you blissfully happy. For an ignorant person walks along with a darkened spirit, he is not a truly living person but the chains of death still hold him captive and will not release him until he himself decides to enter the law of eternal order.... until he will once practice unselfish neighbourly love, whereby a small light will now be kindled in him.... until he gives life to the spirit within him.... Then he forces freedom upon himself, for light means freedom, and darkness he himself has chased away through his service of love. An awakened spirit is freedom in itself, it loosens all bonds and wrests the human being from My adversary's fetters, because it has the power to do so as My share, which it will truly use, after all, it is a matter of leading the human being to Me, which always means an unleashing from his control. The person who lives in love becomes free and his spirit is awakened to life. And he can consider himself fortunate to have been transferred from the bound state into the state of freedom. And he will also appreciate the happiness, he will never want to miss being taught by the spirit within himself and feeling safe in its control, for its power only makes him happy but never appears to him as a fetter which threatens his freedom. Therefore, all of you awaken the spirit within you to life, for only then will you be able to speak of 'life', then death will never be able to frighten you again, for then you will have overcome it, because then you will live forever....

Amen
