8380 Inner mandate to spread the truth....

January 14, 1963: Book 88

If you are to work on My instructions you will also feel this instruction in your heart and willingly comply with it, because you want to be of service to Me and your will is decisive. It is merely a matter of spreading the truth to Me, and I can only take care of those people who receive the truth from Me themselves, who can therefore convincingly represent the spiritual knowledge as originating from Me.... as pure truth.... I know how necessary it is that people receive the truth, because every misguided teaching originates from My adversary and can therefore never be suitable for people's maturing but prevents this from happening.... The human being's soul has reached a certain state of maturity through its course through the creations of earth which My adversary was unable to stop.... In its existence as a human being, however, it shall increase its maturity in free will, but at this stage My adversary can also influence it again and prevent its maturing, which he then succeeds in doing when he condenses the darkness, when he prevents the soul from recognizing Me Myself in the light of truth and now consciously strives towards Me.... Every misguided teaching is capable of giving a wrong image of Me, and then the human being will never be able to love Me and give Me his undivided will. Therefore it is My endeavour to repeatedly kindle a light for people in which they are able to clearly recognize their God and creator and then take the path which leads to Me. If a person voluntarily offers to cooperate with Me, if he is willing to accept the truth from Me and pass it on, then this person can also be certain that I will lead him by the hand and show him the paths he should take in order to fulfil his mission as a bearer of truth and light. And he will always feel My guidance, My indications, in his heart, he will feel urged to carry out this or that, and he shall comply with this inner urge, for it is My voice which assigns his field of work to him, which inwardly gives him all assignments, so that he will certainly believe that they are his own thoughts and yet it is My will which is revealed to him in the form of thoughts. And the less resistance is offered to Me the more clearly the human being will hear My voice, and he will willingly carry out everything because he is inwardly impelled to do so. For truly.... a hunger for truth can be felt everywhere, and people need only take the direct path to Me and they would receive unlimited.... Yet most people turn to other people again and desire information, but I know the degree of their desire for truth and will fulfil it, I will convey spiritual knowledge to them through My messengers of light which will give them the right information and enable them to free themselves from erroneous thinking. And everyone who takes the path to Me will also beneficially feel the ray of light which reaches him, for pure truth will always make him happy because it gives brightest realization, whereas error only intensifies the darkness of spirit and will never give a person inner satisfaction. And the brighter the light can (could) shine in you the happier you would go through earthly life, for you would recognize the meaning and purpose of it and also lead your earthly life accordingly, because no questions and doubts would oppress you, but they will always arise again in those who walk without light.... Unsolved questions make the human being dissatisfied, yet whether he can receive the right answer is up to him, because he has to desire the right answer and will only receive it when he shapes himself such that a light can be kindled for him.... i.e. when he lives in love, which is the light in him, which certainly glows within him but is only brought to light by the human being's will. Fulfilled inner wishes, however, will always cause happiness, and the fulfilment of a wish is when he desires light and also receives light.... But a gift is not respected or valued if there is no desire for it.... And this desire is a matter of free will. But desire can be stirred up in a person by being given knowledge which for the time being only touches his intellect but which can captivate him and he now wants to fathom what touched him mentally.... But a state of light is always delightful, whereas darkness weighs a person down. And thus anyone who desires light will receive it, for I therefore guide the truth to earth because I want to lead people out of a state of misery and hardship.... And all of you can make the truth your own if only you listen to My messengers which I send to you Myself and which truly bring you a delicious gift which will make you happy and which is also permanent, for you can take it over into the kingdom of the beyond when you leave earthly life, and it will signify a treasure for you which can never be taken away from you again....

Amen
