8315 The word from above lights a light....

October 31, 1962: Book 87

You will be granted a direct supply of My word as the greatest gift of grace, and you need only be willing to accept this gift.... You only need to listen to it willingly, i.e. without inner resistance, think it through and live accordingly.... My will will be clearly and simply proclaimed to you, you will be informed why you have to fulfil My will, and you will also be given strength together with My word in order to be able to fulfil My will. And then you will also fulfil your purpose of earthly life and the spiritual success.... the maturing of your soul.... will then also certainly be granted to you. Time and again this is explained to you and yet little attention is paid to My gift of grace, and the result of this is that people go through earthly life without realization and strive for goals which are wrong and dangerous because they lead to the abyss if they are not recognized as wrong soon enough. But no-one can enlighten you correctly about this if I don't do it or the servants appointed by Me, who were given the right knowledge by Me because they are to transfer it to you if you are willing to accept My instructions. Only I can give you a true picture of all spiritual correlations, only I can give you the knowledge about yourselves and your relationship with Me, your God and creator of eternity, only I can give you the right information about yourselves, what you were, what you are and what you should become again.... And only such truthful knowledge can cause you yourselves to make My will your own and to be willing to live according to this will you have recognized. I do not demand a change of being from anyone who is completely blind in spirit.... I first give him a small light in which he shall and can now find his way. And therefore I Myself constantly endeavour to enlighten people's spiritual state, for only when they are able to think correctly will they make the right decision, and I want to help them to do so. My adversary plunged you into deepest darkness, but I want to lead you out of darkness into light, for darkness is death but light is life.... And My infinite love wants to give life to everything dead, because life alone is the state of beatitude. You yourselves once voluntarily strayed from Me, and you had voluntarily distanced yourselves from My love, from light and all strength.... thus you became sinful to an extent which you as a human being are incapable of grasping.... And therefore you were completely devoid of all love, light and strength.... And now I give you everything again if only you are willing to accept the gift of My love.... For I convey My word to earth which, as evidence of My infinite love for you, is blessed with My strength, which thus is able to change you again.... i.e. your nature.... so that you come closer to Me again, that light becomes within you and you also make use of My strength, which you may receive through the willing acceptance of My word.... But because the gift of grace of My love may not force you humans to believe, it is offered to you through a human being whom I have chosen as My instrument.... which, however, you can accept or also reject as untrustworthy.... But I must leave this freedom of will to you, for you should freely decide which relationship you now want to establish with Me.... And if your will is good then you will also recognize Me Myself in My word, you will feel by Whom you are addressed and then also fulfil My will of your own accord, that is, you will live a life of love, because I require nothing else but love from you, because you can only redeem yourselves through love. Love is the fundamental principle, and therefore every instruction on My part must only ever result in love being emphasized.... My will must always be recognizable as the fulfilment of the commandments of love. And thus My word conveyed to you from above must also focus on love for Me and for the neighbour, love must time and again be preached to people as a matter of priority, and they must be made aware of both the effects of a life of love as well as the consequences of a loveless way of life, and anyone who now fulfils My will will also soon have a bright light shine for him, and he will recognize himself as a 'creature' of God which shall develop into a 'child' ('of God') on earth, which shall only ever strive towards his father in order to one day be and remain eternally blissfully happy in union with Him....

Amen
