0924 Blessings of deep faith.... fulfilment of prayer.... knowledge....

May 20, 1939: Book 18

People will feel the blessings of a profound faith if they are in great distress.... If they are earthly without help and turn to divinity in trust, their faith alone is the anchor which promises the most certain salvation, and the human being does not know to what extent he himself is often the cause that his request for help will be granted.... for a lack of faith endangers the fulfilment of his prayer, whereas a firm, unshakeable faith is already the fulfilment in itself, for those who believe in the lord are His true children to whom the father denies nothing and thus bodily and spiritually listens to their requests.... A beliving child on earth will never put his own will first, but submit to the divine will in all requests and supplications and gratefully and devotedly accept everything from the father’s hand.... And to these the lord rewards their faith and does not leave them abandoned and helpless in adversity and misery. And now the human being will also be able to understand that this very lack of faith causes earthly hardship more and more tangibly.... he will understand that the apparent harshness and unkindness of the deity, which is therefore also the reason why the human being often rejects the deity at all.... conjured up by humanity itself.... that the God of love cannot listen to the prayers of those who do not ask with profound faith, but only tentatively demanding that their wishes be taken into account.... This would be a danger for the human being, for it would only ever promote arrogance, disbelief and purely material thinking instead of reducing it, and in spiritual terms it would only have a corrupting effect; And if the human being does not recognize the strength of faith and feel it in himself, the spiritual question will also remain unsolved, for he will only grasp it when he believes. Spiritual results cannot be proven earthly, and only profound faith can fill the gaps left open by human intellect, and in profound faith alone also lies the power to become wise beyond human knowledge. Every thought based on profound faith is received spiritual knowledge and as such is indisputable truth, and if the human being therefore also brings faith to such strength that it cannot be shaken by anything, he will constantly receive thoughts which are nothing other than spiritual strength conveyed to him, which allows extraordinary abilities to develop in the thus believing earthly child, and thus faith alone is the cause when the human being can overcome the most inconceivable obstacles and become master of them, for he passes the battle with the help of spiritual strength which the father in heaven gives to His earthly child because it fully trusts Him. And thus every prayer which comes from the bottom of the heart and is undoubtedly sent up to the father is immensely beneficial, because then the human being will have profound faith and the blessings of such faith will be bestowed upon him to an unlimited extent....

Amen
