3629 Presence of God in the word....

December 17, 1945: Book 46

When you gather to receive My word you express your will to make contact with Me and thus I also come to you. And if you speak to each other and mention My name with love and reverence you will know that I Myself dwell with you, giving your thoughts the right direction, determining your words and thus working amongst you with My strength and My love. And if you are fully convinced of My presence, profound peace will enter your heart, for where I am there is peace and bliss. And thus you can make contact with Me at any time if you bring My word to your fellow human beings who want to accept it with a joyful heart, if you instruct them in My name so that they, too, will be convinced and delighted by My presence. Anyone who desires My word also desires Me Myself, and I will fulfil his desire. Every spiritual conversation which has My word as its basis draws Me to you, and I will always dwell amongst you and thus speak to you directly, albeit through a human mouth which proclaims My word. For he is merely the organ through which I speak to everyone, of which I make use so as not to make you unfree in faith. But wherever My word is offered in order to bring people to Me I will speak Myself and thus desire entrance into the hearts of those to whom My word is brought. Only the dead word will not bring you My presence, the word which is offered without love, which is only spoken as a form without inner spirit, which therefore is not My word but human thought material as long as the giver and receiver are not moved by love and desire for Me to offer and accept it. For where there is no love there is not My word either, and My presence is impossible. And therefore My word may not be offered schematically either; people must gather in desire and longing for Me, for My presence, which is assured to them through My word. They must sincerely desire to hear Me, they must pronounce My name with all reverence, they must let My spirit work in them by giving themselves to the effect of My word, and then they will also feel Me Myself close to them, they will recognize that I Myself am the word, that I Myself speak to them and thus dwell in the midst of those who desire to hear Me. And I bring you peace with My word, I will never leave you again and remain with you until the end of the world.... until all eternity....

Amen
