8157 Spiritual resurrection from the night of the grave....

April 21, 1962: Book 86

A great spiritual awakening shall still bring about your work in My vineyard, a 'resurrection' from death shall take place before the graves close for an infinitely long time.... Understand it: Everyone who finds his way to the light will also surely rise from the night of the grave, he will step out into the light of day, and he will live because he can now work according to My will.... As long as you humans walk in spiritual darkness you can truly speak of a night of the grave which surrounds you.... And as soon as a glimmer of light touches you, you will emerge from your grave and thus rise again.... And My vineyard labourers have the task to carry a light everywhere, because light alone awakens in the human being the desire to leave the darkness of the grave.... because light alone points the way which leads out of the darkness. It is a spiritual awakening, it is not yet the resurrection of the soul after the death of the body.... But it is a resurrection to spiritual life, which is the actual meaning and purpose of earthly life.... For as long as man lives only his earthly life, this life is still an idle one. Only when he awakens from his dark state, only when he strives for truth, will a light be kindled in him, and then he will begin to live a second life.... Then he is born anew, or also, he arises from death. For the soul is in a lifeless state as long as it does not take the spiritual path and fulfils the actual purpose of earthly life: to shape itself according to divine will, to take on the form again which it originally possessed when it came forth from Me as a perfect being. The 'spiritual awakening' is of such great significance for every human being that you, My servants of the last days, will truly experience My blessing if you contribute to it.... if you spread light so that the soul will emerge from its state of sleep.... And carrying light only ever means spreading My word, because this is the direct supply of My divine light of love which.... if it touches a person's heart,... irrevocably ignites and enlightens it, which initially informs the person of My will and will always shine brighter the more seriously the person makes the fulfilment of My will his concern. Anyone who lives in My will will also attain eternal life, for My will is a life of love, and this, in turn, is the human being's transformation into love.... it is the transformation back to his original being. And again a life of love will mean increased light, and the human being will have escaped the night of the grave, the soul will have come to life which it will now also never lose again. And time and again I will help you humans to achieve this by sending a ray of love-light to earth which only needs to be caught by you in order to now also work in you.... Then a light from above will touch you.... you will be addressed by Me Myself and receive My word.... be it directly or also conveyed to you through My messengers. And being allowed to hear My word will always be a light for you, for you will receive purest truth, and you need not fear any error which is again like spiritual darkness but which I Myself want to chase away with My light which radiates to you from above. And when I admonish My vineyard labourers to spread My word to the world.... when I encourage them to eagerly spread what they receive directly from Me, I only want the light to shine out into the darkness of night. I only want you humans to find a path which leads out of this darkness and that you recognize Me Myself in the glow of light, your God and creator of eternity Who, as a loving father, is concerned about the well-being of His children who are still in dark spiritual night.... For light alone is life, light alone is bliss.... And light can only emanate from Me Myself, I Who am the source of light and strength from eternity....

Amen
