2098 Imperishability of what God allows to come to earth....

October 5, 1941: Book 30

A gift that is of divine origin is imperishable. Everything that comes from God remains in its original substance because it is spiritual strength, it is the product of the emanation of love from God. It cannot perish because spiritual strength, once radiated, remains the same forever.... power that stimulates activity.... The form in which this power expresses itself is the same; it always remains imperishable. If God now reveals Himself, He also sends spiritual power to earth, for He is Himself in the word.... but God is strength.... And therefore it is understandable that He does not reveal Himself in the word in order to abandon this word to destruction. What His will allows to come into being has its reason and its purpose. For God does nothing arbitrarily, but everything is premeditated since eternity and testifies to His wisdom and love. And because His programmes are indestructible, they will also fulfil their purpose. Only rarely can the pure word of God be channelled to earth and therefore a work rarely endures. But the will of God is sufficient if what this will has brought to earth is to be preserved. And even if the word is hotly disputed, people will never be able to invalidate it, for its power flows into everyone who seriously scrutinizes it. And God Himself will see to it that only those who seriously scrutinize will gain insight, for He knows what is necessary and everything is good as He allows it to happen. In the time to come hardly anyone will be unburdened and everyone will need encouragement but will not want to look for it where alone it should be sought. Yet if the pure word reaches him he will experience it as strength which stirs him up inwardly and stimulates him to reflect on spiritual problems.... and which, on the other hand, seems to him like a gentle encouragement from on high. And anyone who reads the divine word attentively will fall under its spell, even if they have previously been hostile to it. For the word is power, and the power works as soon as the human being is without resistance towards it. And God will protect His word from falling into the hands of people who are immature in their judgement or still in the power of the adversary.... The word comes to earth in the face of great spiritual adversity; it is a means to remedy it; it is the help God sends to His own and is the lifeline for all who are in danger of drowning in the whirlpool of the world.... And this word should not be able to stand the test of time and be arbitrarily destroyed? God is Himself in the word with men.... This faith eliminates all fear of earthly measures.... God is the word and His love is infinite that He wants to come to people to help them.... However, He cannot make Himself known more visibly than in the word. But where His word flows down to earth, His spirit of love is also active there, and He will never let pass what this spirit of love has created. For God is strength, His working is an outpouring of strength, and human will is unable to dissolve the strength into nothing....

Amen
