2346 Work of the spirit.... gift of grace....

May 24, 1942: Book 32

Everyone is allowed to receive the gifts of the spirit, and yet so few people make use of God's offer of this delicious gift of grace. They do not realize what a valuable gift they are missing out on and how much richer they could be. For nothing can replace what the spirit from God offers them.... He gives people clear realization, he introduces them to the knowledge of divine truth, he helps them to loosen their bond with the world and instead establish a connection with the spiritual beings full of light in order to be able to have a constant exchange of thoughts with them. He always directs and guides them towards God and organizes their mental activity so that they have to think correctly and thus think rightly and truly as soon as they ask spiritual questions or try to fathom divine reign and activity. People are always in union with God if they desire the working of His spirit. Power will therefore always flow to them when God pours out His spirit upon people. They then immediately receive the emanation of strength from God, they switch off all resistance and open themselves, i.e. their hearts allow the strength to flow into them.... The effect of this, however, is knowledge.... For any supply of power from God means increased knowledge of things that lie outside of earthly life.... And this spiritual knowledge is the soul's wealth, it is the treasure which the soul will utilize one day if it wants to fulfil its task in the beyond. Spiritual wealth is the only desirable thing on earth, and spiritual wealth can be received by the soul unmeasured.... God Himself has promised people His spirit and therefore no-one will desire it in vain. However, the spirit of God can never become effective where there is no desire for this precious gift. What God offers people should be asked for longingly and received gratefully.... It is not withheld from anyone, but neither is it given to anyone without a heartfelt desire. No human being can be given the divine gift of grace who would not respect this gift, for the working of the spirit requires attentive listening within, the human being must pay attention to the subtlest impulses within himself and thus adjust himself to consciously receive a gift which is of divine origin.... The spirit from God must be granted access to the spiritual spark in the heart, or the divine spark within must be given the freedom to connect with the spirit from God.... Contact must be established with the beings who are light and recipients of strength, so that light and strength can now overflow.... The divine gift of grace requires profound faith in the working of the spirit in the human being, it requires loving activity and heartfelt devotion to the greatest spirit of heaven and earth so that His strength can overflow because it will no longer find any resistance, for the working of the divine spirit is the sign that the creature having emerged from God has finally united with Him again after a long separation from Him....

Amen
