8162 Vineyard work before the end....

April 29, 1962: Book 86

No more great revivals will take place because people have completely fallen prey to the world and thus to the one who is lord of this world, who will do everything in his power to keep people away from Me and who will also succeed because there is only little faith left in a God and creator from Whom they themselves also originated. A spiritual awakening can only take place through the fulfilment of My commandments of love.... Only love can achieve such an awakening, for only a life of love awakens the human being's faith in Me to life. But love has grown cold among people.... They only desire material goods, their love belongs to them, and this is a wrong love which only keeps the human being in darkness but does not give him light. For this reason there will only be a few I can still address in the last days who will recognize My word as the father's voice when it is offered to them by My messengers.... But these will be delighted and only awaken to the right life because the strength of My word flows to them, because I Myself can be effective with My strength and this will truly not be without success. And for the sake of these few I will still send My messengers until the last hour to gather those who long for My word so that they, too, will join My small flock which I will rapture from this earth at the end in order to transfer them into a kingdom of peace before the earth experiences the day of judgment.... the day of the end when all creatures will lose their life because order shall be restored and the earth will serve as a training station of the spiritual again when the new period of salvation begins, as it is intended in My plan of salvation from eternity. I will still try everything to increase the number of those who shall still awaken to life, who shall join My small flock.... (29.4.1962) and whom I will save in the end when I create a new order on this earth.... I will leave no stone unturned, and wherever there is even the slightest hope of winning a soul I will also send My messengers there and bring help to that soul in the form of My Word, for as soon as it is only possible for Me to address it Myself it can still change in the last hour.... This is still the only means for My word to touch a person, for this word possesses strength which can become effective if the resistance is not too great. And at times I will also work in an unusual way through spiritually awakened servants by obviously pointing people to the 'strength of God' which expresses itself through a believing person, by allowing sick people to heal who believe in Me and thus also give their fellow human beings proof that there is a God of love and might Who works in all wisdom. But these people also have to join this God through a life of love, only then can we speak of a true 'revival'. I come to meet every person, I knock at every door of the heart.... And anyone who lets Me in will be blessed, for he can never ever get lost, he will remain faithful to Me even in the last time of the battle of faith, he will belong to My own whom I will rescue from utmost adversity. But you humans should never believe that a spiritual change for the better will still take place on this earth.... My adversary will rage more and more, and people themselves are in bondage to him and therefore also draw on the dissolution of the old earth, its complete transformation.... And humanity has already reached the spiritual low which necessitates such a transformation, and thus the time is fulfilled and every day is only a grace period which every person can still use for his own salvation. For the day of the end has been fixed since eternity and it will also be kept because I do not contradict Myself. Yet the work of salvation will also continue until the last day, and the serious admonition goes out to all My servants to be diligently active for Me and My kingdom.... And even if it is only individual souls which are saved through their cooperation.... for Me every soul is a great gain, and therefore I will support you in your vineyard work in every way, for I love all My creatures and want them to become blessed.... Thus I will also do everything to save them from the abyss, from the new banishment for an endless time again....

Amen
