2451 God's protection of His tools.... spreading the divine word....

August 18, 1942: Book 33

The conditions for reproducing the divine word, for spreading it among fellow human beings, are the same as those Jesus set for His disciples when He sent them out into the world. They had to be filled with His spirit in order to understand His divine word, which He preached to them, and thus be able to teach like Him. They had to lead a life of love so that the spirit of God could become effective in them, they had to serve one another as brothers and seek to fulfil the divine will at all times. God also makes all these demands on people who now want to serve Him again and carry His divine gospel out into the world. A life of love is also prescribed for them, because without such a life the spirit from God can never express itself.... They must be active in serving, devoted love for one another and constantly submit to God's will. Then God takes possession of their will.... He unites Himself with those who want to be His instruments on earth.... He gives them instructions through the inner voice and now they can carry out God's mission.... They can be active in teaching and have an infinitely beneficial effect on earth. However, only a few people fulfil these conditions and so little attention is paid to a task that is nevertheless extremely important and significant. It is therefore understandable that the few people who devote themselves to God also enjoy His special protection so that they can fulfil their task on earth unhindered. They will certainly also be disturbed at times, i.e. they will always have to expect threats from the worldly jurisdiction and these will also make them somewhat anxious from time to time, yet the working of the spirit in them will not suffer any loss and therefore faith and confidence in divine protection will also become strong in them, so that they will not allow themselves to be influenced in the slightest in their thoughts and actions and calmly complete their mission.... They will fearlessly and unhesitatingly inform their fellow human beings of the divine will, they will help spread the word of God among humanity, they will not feel hindered by humanly decreed commandments or prohibitions but the divine will alone will be decisive for their actions. And God will protect them, He will not allow their faith to be put to shame or He Himself will intervene where necessary. A will turned towards God will be guided by Him correctly, thus the human being can only think and carry out what God tells him to carry out mentally and what is beneficial for the salvation of his fellow human beings. Thus it will also always correspond to His divine will if His word is the first guiding principle for earthly life, if it is followed first, even if it is not entirely in harmony with earthly requirements. God is lord over heaven and earth, His word is truth and therefore His word should be obeyed first.... And therefore God will protect everyone who submits to His authority and His will, for He needs these people for the spiritual well-being of their fellow human beings. He needs them as executors of His will, and therefore no fear and worry shall oppress people who offer themselves to God of their own free will, for God constantly stands by their side so that they spread His word amongst people who urgently need the truth for the salvation of their souls....

Amen
