3687 Power of the divine word....

February 15, 1946: Book 47

You can draw comfort and strength from every one of My words because they originated from Me and are therefore strength in themselves. You only ever have to let Me speak to you, you have to unite with Me beforehand in heartfelt prayer, entrust your needs to Me and then take My words as a counter-speech, and you will constantly be strengthened, for if I speak to you Myself you will have to lose all weakness of spirit and body. Every one of My words will proclaim My love to you, and if you know yourselves to be loved by your father from eternity, every fear must also fall from you, for He Who loves you is also powerful and nothing is impossible for Him. And if you believe this you are powerful yourselves, and you overcome all opposition, for you always get the strength for this from My word. Therefore let Me constantly speak to you, never neglect to open your heart to Me at times through silent dialogue with Me, open yourselves so that My strength can flow over to you, for this requires your own will. He who wants to receive must also prepare himself as a receiving device, and this more often if spiritual and earthly hardship threatens to overwhelm him. The frequent mental connection with Me also guarantees him an influx of strength, and for this he needs to detach himself from the world. He must often find the time to accept My word again and again, to let it speak to him, and thereby join Me ever more firmly.... and his faith will become strong and unshakeable, for then I Myself will displace the spiritual substance which, banished in matter, tries to approach the human being again and again in order to distract him from Me. I hold the heart which has fled to Me, I protectively hold My hand over the one who has become Mine through his will.... And if you therefore want to face all adversity full of strength, don't pass by the source of strength but constantly draw from it.... I am always ready to give you the cup that refreshes your soul and increases its strength.... You receive food and drink with every word that goes out from Me and touches your ear and heart.... And you can therefore receive unmeasured strength from Me, because My gift is not given to you in a limited way but you yourselves determine the measure.... Let Me speak to you, listen to what My spirit announces to you and constantly draw from the source of life.... My word will never lose its strength if you hungrily receive it, if you eagerly listen to My voice, for it is I Myself Who comes to you in the word, and My presence will always signify strength and grace and thus never be without effect. The time is short and you should still make eager use of it and absorb strength so that you will then be able to survive every battle with the spiritual and earthly world. And thus make My word your concern and receive strength in abundance from My hand, which lovingly guides you until the end of your life....

Amen
