7768 To "His own" God promises His protection....

December 10, 1960: Book 81

Only those who are mine will live to see the end.... But who belong to My own? Those who have a living faith and thus belong to My church, which I Myself founded on earth.... who pray to Me in spirit and in truth, Whom they have recognized in Jesus Christ, the son of God and redeemer of the world.... and who can only recognize Me and believe in Me because they live a life of love.... These, therefore, will earnestly desire Me, I will always be the content of their thoughts, they will hand themselves over to Me, they will establish the relationship of children to the father and thus want to belong to Me and thus be counted amongst 'My own' who will be spared in the end, who will survive the end and continue to live a life of light and bliss on the new earth. It will only be a small flock, yet this flock will emerge from all organisations, for each one teaches love for Me and for their neighbour, and all those who now accept this divine teaching of love and live it out will be counted as belonging to My church, because they attain a living faith through love. And these will also stand firm in the last battle on this earth when it is necessary to confess Me and My name before the world. For living faith and love also earn them knowledge according to which they persevere.... For then they will expect My coming, which I have announced when the adversity seems to become unbearable. Then I will stand by My own and they will be and remain victorious in this battle. And anyone who cannot muster the strength to do so, who threatens to falter, I will still call him away beforehand so that he will not fall into My adversary's hands. But that I will stand by My own is certain.... And therefore you should all make an effort to become and remain Mine; you should have the firm will to reach your aim on earth, and you should constantly appeal to Me for strength and grace, because through such prayer you acknowledge Me Myself, Whom you once denied. Therefore this test of faith will be put to you again and you can also pass it if you make yourselves My own, for then you will also receive the strength to survive every battle. I have promised My protection to My own, and thus you need only ever make an effort to join Me, to seek close contact with Me, to snuggle up to the father like children and appeal to Him that He may also take care of you as a father when you are in danger. And truly, I will grant you this request, I will be concerned for you and watch over your every step so that you don't go astray.... For once I have listened to you through your will I will never let you go. For every person who has found his way to Me has passed the test of will, and I promise him a life of light and bliss, be it on earth or also in the spiritual kingdom.... And thus My own will also experience the end and be transferred by Me into the paradise of the new earth, for a new generation shall emanate from them again which is so united with Me in love that I Myself can dwell in the midst of people, that they are in contact with the kingdom of light and thus a new era begins which shall bring mature souls back to Me again as true children.... For the time is fulfilled and it will come as it has been proclaimed long before: A new heaven and a new earth will arise and My own will live a blissful life as I have promised them...._>Amen
