2512 .... Out of whose loins shall flow rivers of living water....

October 15, 1942: Book 33

Spiritual hunger will always be satisfied and the soul will never need to starve, for God opens the source of life to every person, from which the living water springs. Jesus gave this promise to people on earth, yet the meaning of His promise has not been properly grasped by people, otherwise it would not seem impossible to them that God conveys His word to earth through revelations which come to a person from above. Divine love knows what people are lacking and does not want them to go hungry. And thus the source of life will never run dry, people will always be able to refresh themselves with its water and the human being himself will be able to become a never-ending source if he earnestly strives for it and calls a deep faith his own.... For this is what Jesus promised with the words: "He who believes in Me, out of his loins will flow rivers of living water." He was thus announcing the work of the spirit, the hearing of the divine word in the heart, the water that awakens to eternal life.... every human heart can become the fountain of eternal life, and the source of divine wisdom that flows from a believing heart is inexhaustible. The water that awakens to life is the living word of God, because it can only flow from a person living in love, from a heart that has thus become active, i.e. a living heart.... The word of God has life and awakens to life.... For when it is received in the heart, it is not a dead word. It is not an empty letter, but is felt by the spirit in man and born through the soul in the heart of man. And therefore it must also have a revitalizing effect.... i.e. stimulate activity, which is life. The word of God is the direct emanation of God's love, which must therefore also express itself again as love in the human being to whom the divine word flows.... It must therefore give birth to love again.... The divine word is not limited, it flows from an inexhaustible source like water, which knows no beginning and no end, which flows from the source as long as it is not wilfully caused to dry up. And so the word of God will also flow from the heart of anyone who lives a life of purity and love in deep faith, and the person will now be able to constantly draw from the living water, he will constantly hear the divine word within himself.... rivers of living water will flow from his loins, as God has promised....

Amen
