2896 Spiritual co-workers on earth.... fight....

September 25, 1943: Book 37

You still have an arduous path to travel and have to prepare yourselves for your ministry if you want to serve Me. And therefore I demand that you use all your strength, I demand that you overcome yourselves and test yourselves beforehand so that you will become firstly strong and real instruments for Me in the last days of the battle. And this battle will be difficult, it will be waged against you with all severity, and you will only survive it if you call upon Me for help. And therefore you must remain closely united with Me, you must not allow yourselves to be taken captive by the world, you must constantly draw strength from My word, and you must not become lukewarm and lethargic but wrestle for perfection with utmost zeal. You have to use every hour to work for Me, and every word should testify to Me and My love, you have to make your spiritual striving your purpose in life, you have to constantly feel like My co-workers on earth who have to accomplish great work, and you must not miss any time, for it is pressing towards the end and therefore requires eager activity. If you want to serve Me then your whole endeavor must only be directed towards helping your fellow human beings in their spiritual adversity, to lead their souls to Me, to instruct them and to convey My will to them. You have to take such care of this soul work that nothing can turn you away from it, and you have to sincerely ask for My blessing for it so that I will lead you by the hand and guide your steps towards those whom you are to win for Me. And your love shall constantly be meant for the erring souls, and wherever you can help them you shall be ready in serving selflessness. And if you speak then submit yourselves to My spirit so that I Myself can then speak through you and be able to win My little sheep. I take part in every experience if you submit it to Me, I pay attention to the smallest impulse in you which is meant for Me and strengthen your will, and I also let temptations approach you so that you shall overcome them and thereby increase your strength of resistance.... For you will need it in the time to come, you will have to struggle for deep, unshakable faith and join Me ever more firmly if you want to stand firm and remain victorious in the battle which applies to Me and My word and which you are to fight out.... And therefore prepare yourselves, strengthen yourselves time and again with My word, do not let up in striving upwards and constantly strive for perfection.... then My grace and My blessing will accompany you and My love will provide you with unlimited strength....

amen
