0675 Divine teacher of patience.... knowledge.... word of God....

November 20, 1938: Book 14

Whoever desires Me and My word will find a hearing and see My face when the time has come. Behold, My child, countless people will turn to Me in the darkness of the spirit, driven by the most serious concern for their lives, and I will not let them call in vain.... how much more will the prayer of those who want to serve Me on earth be answered. And so always lay your petitions trustingly at My feet and always be certain of My help.... I always teach you utmost patience, for if My word is to seriously captivate a person's heart it has to be taught to him time and again.... for you grasp it well but nevertheless cannot be absorbed by it as soon as possible because the human being's ability to absorb it is no longer as natural as it was in the beginning. Admittedly, you live in My grace if you ask for it and this grace strengthens your will.... You will receive the strength you need to be active in My name.... yet everything human in you must also be trained to the best of your ability, and you must likewise know and intellectually recognize the Word of God if you also want to teach this Word to your fellow human beings. And so I am always ready for you with tireless patience and teach you in ever new forms until you are permeated by My spirit and have fully and completely grasped My word. Therefore do not allow lukewarmness to set in but desire My word and with it My love without ceasing, and when you receive it you will hear the voice of love for you and you will know that I constantly endeavour to look after you, My little children, and train you as My forces.... For the time on earth I want to increase your knowledge, and this knowledge shall enable you to be of service to Me, for you shall proclaim the pure word of God to people.... you shall do so of your own accord so that you will not be creatures forced by Me but servants who voluntarily fulfil My will.... And thus the word you receive will spread across the earth through human mouths.... You will always testify anew to God's love and kindness if you are permeated by it yourselves, and it will be a profound experience for you, for every word you receive is strength in itself if you move it in your heart and grasp its profound meaning. Thus I want to point you, My child, to the unspeakable abundance of divine strength which everything you receive harbours within itself.... If you grasp the meaning and endeavour to shape your being according to this word, you will make that power your own and be beneficially active for this earth. And almost all powers are subject to you when your spirit unites with Me, for My words are truth and eternal life, they are power in themselves, and this power flows directly over to everyone who receives My word and endeavours to put it into practice. Full understanding of this will also come to you through this very word. Yet because your will is good and your endeavours diligent, I want to enlighten your spirit and the wisdom of your creator shall be revealed to you, and you shall receive news of the heavenly father's ever-ready love and kindness. If the thought arises in you humans as to how insignificant you are in relation to the eternal deity, then this is certainly justified in itself, but again you are My creatures and what I create is spirit from My spirit.... it is the outflow of My love.... it is eternal and imperishable and therefore not worthless.... It is, so to speak, the crown of My omnipotence and wisdom, it is My work.... and can therefore never be void. The most convincing proof of this is My love for you, My creatures.... which is so immense that I even took all sin and suffering of humanity upon Myself and brought the atoning sacrifice for it. And once you have grasped the greatness of My love you will also never again be able to consider yourselves transient, you will then have to recognize that I cannot let go of these My living creations and you will then also have to understand why I always and forever endeavour to turn your hearts towards Me. And once you have realized this, My word will not leave you untouched.... you will always recognize My love in it.... and this word will truly come alive in you....

And I Myself will be with you in the word and you will realize what divine spirit flows through you, and all realization will be easy for you.... And thus prepared you will also be able to work in My name and for it, for you will then have the strength within yourselves and will choose the words as I dictate them to you, and this word will then also find its way into people's hearts. Everyone who stands in the blessing of My word will come to life.... for the word is true life for those who strive for it. Anyone who lives according to My teaching and constantly seeks Me will never have to fear earthly death, for he will not respect his body but his soul will not die for eternity.... And so all bitterness of death is taken away from him, for death is night.... but in him is light and life, and the light will shine brightly and give light to those who want to escape the darkness.... And so everyone who is of good will and hears My word will be delivered from the darkest night, and if he accepts it with a believing heart, the power of darkness will be broken forever....

Amen
