7362 Refreshment for the soul....

May 13, 1959: Book 78

People will come together who are intimately united with Me, who serve Me and want to advocate the spreading of My word, which is conveyed to them from above through My will. For My word has the power to influence the human being so that he cannot help but stand up for it, so that it impels him from within to become active for Me and My kingdom. And as soon as a person has experienced the strength of My word himself he also wants to give it to his fellow human being who needs its effect just as much. And I bring together those who thus want to serve Me and give all of them plenty of seed so that they can scatter it in people's hearts, which are the fields that are to receive the seed so that it will sprout and bear good fruit. But someone who is not addressed by the word is not yet mature; he is not yet willing to be addressed by Me, and therefore My word has no effect on him and will also remain without effect as long as this serious will is missing. Yet such people are and remain powerless, even though they assert themselves in earthly life and appear to be full of strength. But their souls are miserable, and because it lacks proper nourishment it remains poorly formed and is in danger of entering the spiritual kingdom from earthly life in this meagreness, which means much agony and hardship for it. Therefore you humans, who have the grace to receive My word, should do everything to spread My word so that it will also be conveyed to those who are still weak in will to reach maturity. Again and again you should knock at their heart's door and again and again offer them the gifts which come to you from the spiritual kingdom without restriction.... And it will be bliss when the heart's door is voluntarily opened, when you recognize that a hungry soul turns to you again and wants to receive from you. For I still want to address many people through you, and therefore I direct those to the source who want to drink and refresh themselves with the water of life. You can believe that you walk weakly and powerlessly through earthly life if you don't often visit the fountain of life, if you don't often lie down at the spring during your pilgrimage, from which the pure water of life flows. And you will then have covered the earthly path with difficulty and without success for your soul, although you could walk the path with all your strength if you did not pass by that spring. You need the water of life for your soul to thrive because it needs strength in order to mature. And I will truly ensure that it will not remain without refreshment; I will still lead many people into your path to whom you shall bring My word.... the pure truth.... and who shall gratefully accept it.... and who will gratefully accept it from you. For I know who longs to be addressed by Me, I know who recognizes Me Myself in 'My word', for I know My own and My own recognize My voice.... Therefore you should be diligent in spreading My word and offer it to every person I bring to you.... Whether he accepts or rejects it is solely his will, which is respected, which is why My word cannot be forcibly conveyed to his fellow human being.... For he himself determines what his heart wants to accept, and depending on his desire the success or effect on his soul will also be.... Yet like a refreshing drink My word will touch the soul which is willing to let itself be fed and watered by Me. And the soul will be satisfied and now also mature during its earthly progress, yet without the strength of My word it will remain weak and wretched and enter the kingdom of the beyond just as weak and wretched....

Amen
