7919 Meaning of the gift of grace.... Power gift....

June 14, 1961: Book 83

Always accept My word as given to you so that you will pass it on and fulfil its purpose: to bring strength and light to people who walk in darkness and are powerless.... Again and again it is necessary for you humans to know the significance of the great gift of grace which I convey to you because you are in great spiritual need. Your thoughts and aspirations predominantly belong to the world; yet you think little of your God and creator, and therefore you rarely establish the bond with Me, in which alone I could impart strength to you for your pilgrimage on earth. You should not believe that the life energy at your disposal was only given to you in order to fulfil your earthly wishes.... You should use it to acquire spiritual strength, which means that you should use the strength of life to work with love, which will then certainly also earn you spiritual strength. For you need spiritual strength for your ascent upwards, for the maturing of your soul.... Spiritual strength will not be lost to you when you have ended your earthly life and lost all vitality.... Your task in earthly life is to acquire spiritual strength, and you receive spiritual strength through loving activity, through heartfelt prayer to Me and through listening to My word, which is a direct transmission of strength and which, once again, only informs you of My will: to shape yourselves into love, without which you cannot become blissfully happy. Believe that you only have to strive on earth to increase your spiritual strength. And believe that I want to supply you with this strength and therefore speak to you. And when you hear My word from above it is truly a gift of grace with an extraordinary effect, for it gives you what you lack but which you need in order to mature during your earthly life in order to be able to enter the kingdom of light and bliss when you have ended this earthly life.... My word, which I offer you, is everything: it is the bread from heaven, it is the manna which comes from heaven and is nourishment for your soul.... it is a light that dispels darkness, it is the source of strength from which you can constantly draw the water of life.... It is the proof of My love for you humans to whom I can be present if you also show Me your love.... It also proves My wisdom and power to you, for you are introduced to a knowledge which gives you a clear picture of My nature.... My word is the illumination of My divine strength of love, and this can never remain without success, it has to take effect on yourselves, on your soul, and lead you to perfection. And therefore I want to address all of you, that is why I convey My word to earth and only ever instruct you to pass it on to your fellow human beings, and again and again I make the significance, the effect of the great gift of grace, understandable to you, so that you listen to Me and thus receive strength in abundance through the conscious utilisation of My grace by listening to the word and also living it out by fulfilling My will, which I proclaim to you through My word because I love you.... And you should believe that your God and father addresses you Himself, for I want to win back My children who have been distant from Me for an infinitely long time, I want to show them the way back and also impart to them the strength to be able to walk it.... I want to receive them all into My kingdom again and prepare for them the bliss they were allowed to enjoy in the beginning.... The father wants His children back who once left Him voluntarily....

Amen
