2215 Voluntary surrender is a prerequisite for receiving the truth....
January 18, 1942: Book 31
Depending on your worthiness and willingness to serve I will consider you and you may all hear My word if you take it seriously and shape yourselves accordingly. The willingness to be redemptively active on earth earns you My love, and since I want to redeem all My children on earth I bless everyone who helps Me on earth, where I can only work within the framework of what is humanly possible in order not to influence people's free will. I can only express Myself through the human mouth.... Although it is I Who speaks through such a person who consciously serves Me.... yet only recognized by believers who are in love and therefore recognize My activity of love. And this labour of love of Mine consists of instructing people and imparting the pure truth to them so that they will spread it and thus break through the spiritual darkness. And spiritual enlightenment will then also result in the soul's transformation. But where the connection with Me through loving activity is missing I cannot express Myself there. They can neither receive the truth directly nor can it be imparted to them by My servants, for they do not recognize the truth as such. And consequently, even clear evidence would not lead to realization, for the thinking of people who live without love takes a completely wrong path. Spiritual beings, who are likewise without love, impose themselves on such people and try to misguide their thinking. Thus I cannot instruct them or I would have to force them, i.e. put them into a state of compulsion, into a state where they accept and spread the truth without their own will. But I do not force a will which does not voluntarily surrender to Me, and even where I make use of a person for the unconscious reproduction of what I impart to him, his conscious devotion is a prerequisite beforehand. But man on earth cannot prove a greater service of love to Me than when he contributes towards the redemption of souls which still err.... if he spreads light amongst humanity, i.e. if he conveys the pure truth to them. And thus I will also honour this person with the pure truth, I will give him light as I deem necessary, even though he is completely without earthly knowledge.... I will instruct him in My teaching, I will train him as My pupil into a teacher who will thereby be able to utilize the received knowledge and impart it to his fellow human beings in My place;.... for as soon as he now speaks in the will to serve Me he will speak according to My will, for I Myself speak through him and thus convey the truth to earth without restricting people's freedom of will, since every person is free to accept or reject what they are offered.... They are free to recognize it as a gift from God or to see only human work in it, for I do not force people who do not recognize Me of their own accord....
Amen
