8195 God needs His servants and promises them protection....

June 20, 1962: Book 86

And to you, My servants, the assurance of My care applies time and again as long as you offer your services to Me, as long as you want to be active for Me. I want to make you consider that much vineyard work still has to be done in the last days before the end and that it has to be carried out voluntarily on the part of those who want to serve Me.... And look at the people around you.... where is there anyone who consciously wants to be active for Me and My kingdom?.... Look at the people, what kind of mind they are.... Only rarely is someone faithfully devoted to Me that he would be willing to serve Me in My will.... And only rarely does a person establish a bond with Me which is so intimate that I can inwardly make My will known to him.... Rarely, therefore, can I address a person and assign him his task which, however, is extremely important in the end time in which you humans are standing.... And therefore I keep the few faithful servants for Myself and place My will into their hearts, which they then also eagerly comply with and thus there is the possibility to also speak to other people's hearts.... For there are still good human vines which only need attentive care to mature before the end.... And in the end it is always about the free will of the human being.... I cannot force anyone and therefore only need your free devotion to Me, which I will also support time and again by supplying you with strength Myself through My address and that you desire nothing more than to fulfil My will.... And My will is and remains that you open your heart to Me, that you lend Me your ear so that I can speak to all people through you, because this address is still extremely important, because the time is drawing to a close. There is still the possibility here and there to touch a human heart which perceives My direct address as such, and I still want to make use of this possibility, for which I require your will, which I cannot and will not force for the sake of your perfection.... but you will be richly blessed if only you devote yourselves to Me, if you turn your thoughts to Me and allow yourselves to be bestowed by Me as often as this is possible for you.... You will receive spiritual and earthly strength and always feel Me closer to you, for I always take you more captive the more intimately you devote yourselves to Me.... And you should fear nothing, whatever concerns you.... I know this and everything has its spiritual reason and purpose. Yet you are also constantly under My protection because I need you and don't want to do without your services for Me. Just remember that I need the human being's free will and that it is rarely given to Me in such a way that I can use the human being as a receptacle for My spirit.... But I cannot make My will known to people in any other way than through My spirit, and therefore you should remain faithful to Me, you who have already given your will to Me and whom I need time and again because people constantly need My address and I want to help them in the last time before the end.... And it will also be a blessing for yourselves, for you will receive strength and light and grace in abundance....

Amen
