1419 Power of the Holy Spirit.... radiance of divine love....

May 15, 1940: Book 23

Without prior knowledge, the person whose spirit is well-organized receives astonishing knowledge as spiritual property, and this is proof of the activity of foreign spiritual forces. This treasure, however, cannot be unearthed if the will to receive is not strong; thus the complete opening of the heart is the first condition. And the power from God will now pour into an opened vessel. It is available to the earthly child if it is asked for and received. The power of the Holy Spirit is not an illusion but something truly tangible which the human being can acquire if his will is directed towards it and his heart desires it. For the human being's thoughts are then organized in such a way that they can be written down in order to be conveyed to humanity at the same time. Everything spiritual has a penetrating effect.... It does not come to an end somewhere, but constantly propagates itself, a power is passed on that emanates from God and always and constantly has a vitalizing effect. Everything that is the work of man has an end, but that which emanates from God can never have an end.... It makes its way through countless entities, can be received always and everywhere and must always have a vitalizing effect. The power of the Holy Spirit imparts the word of God to people.... Thus the word of God must have eternal duration, it can never ever pass away, for it remains eternally what it is.... divine power, the emanation of divine love, which can only be imparted when it is consciously desired. And therefore the power of the Holy Spirit cannot be denied, for the evidence of its working is visible and everlasting.... Everything the spirit has taught from God is written down and continues to work as strength.... It revitalizes the human being, who in turn desires the divine gift again, who opens his heart and allows the radiation of divine love to penetrate him.... He will feel the same power, his thoughts will also be well-organised if he is receptive and in love.... He will now also be able to draw from the fountain of life and absorb wisdom and grace. And thus the word of God...., which is received by an earthly child willing to receive and in love.... always works in the same way.... It imparts the strength from God to the listener if he receives it with a hungry heart. But it will make no impression on people who are spiritually unawakened, who request neither divine strength nor grace, for the spirit from God cannot yet be effective in them; they accept the words as empty sound and remain completely unimpressed....

Amen
