1432 Wanting-to-serve-God.... beautiful task....

May 23, 1940: Book 23

It is an incomparably beautiful task that man sets himself if he wants to serve God. He declares himself ready to receive extraordinary grace, for God imparts this to everyone who offers himself to serve Him. He needs this extraordinary strength for his work on earth, he has to overcome all opposition, he has to stand his ground against all opposing views, he has to be able to refute everything intellectually and thus train his intellect in order to be able to represent that which his heart has received as truth and now wants to pass on. He must have great love for his fellow human beings in order to be able to help them in their spiritual distress. Furthermore, he must dedicate his earthly life exclusively to spiritual work once the thought of helping souls has become alive in him. All this requires great strength which, however, is also imparted to him by God. A clear, rightly guided thought bearer must oppose the confused spiritual state of men, and this one must do the laborious work to change the train of thought of fellowmen, and so do the preliminary work, which facilitates the work of the beings on the other side to now influence men mentally. The door of the heart has to be opened a little so that the bearers of light and wisdom find entrance and can now work on their part. And if the human being now utilizes the gifts from above correctly he will receive the greatest strength through them and he will accomplish his earthly task easily and effortlessly. And the human being completely redeems himself from spiritual night. He will be able to think brightly and clearly, he will offer resistance to all objections raised by ignorant people, for he will always regocnize the erring human being whose train of thought could not yet be guided correctly because his nature and will rejected all truthful instruction. It is understandable that every spiritual direction which lacks divine influence must be wrong. For if the spiritual beings with knowledge cannot be active, the path is clear for the erring spiritual beings who steer the human being's thinking onto an erroneous path. And the consequence of this is that they lack all knowledge, but they also have no desire for it and therefore cannot be offered it. If the knowledgeable person takes care of such souls and tries to direct their thoughts towards certain problems which arouse their interest, then this knowledgeable person will, as it were, open the chamber door of the heart and a ray of light will penetrate through it into the previous darkness. This ray of light can bring about a great change.... The hitherto erring person can feel the benefit of the light and increase the desire for it, which is then satisfied at any time from above.... so that his thoughts are now more orderly and he is suddenly also able to regocnize what truth is. For his part, he has now established a connection with the spiritual world. The human being, who willingly offered himself to the lord for service, has fulfilled the task of an erring soul for his and his fellow human being's blessing....

Amen
