4071 Exhortation to immerse oneself into God’s word.... supply of strength....

June 27, 1947: Book 50

Trust in My strength if you feel weak and all weakness will leave from you.... And then deeply immerse yourselves in My word and the strength will spread to you, which is why you need nothing but My word and this word is able to give you everything, even though it is still incomprehensible to you. All strength is contained in My word and can be felt by anyone who deeply believes in Me and receives My word, for I gave you the promise: "He who believes in Me will be saved.... " And salvation only exists in connection with Me.... But My word is I Myself.... My word is My emanation which signifies strength for everyone who thus approaches Me in profound faith. You need not be weak, you need not fear weakness, for I strengthen you physically and spiritually through My word, and you will recognise the truth of My word when you have reached the degree of maturity that you unreservedly devote yourselves to Me and no longer let arise any doubts about your weakness and apparent inability to accomplish something which seems to exceed your strength. Only that which is still far from Me lacks strength, if it has not yet sunk so far that it receives strength from below, from My adversary. You do not know how powerful you could be if you believed.... And therefore I teach you again and again, struggle for strong faith, do not slacken in prayer and live in love, for then your faith will also grow stronger and come alive.... and then there will no longer be anything insurmountable for you; and make use of every day and every hour, for the time will soon come when new hardships and worries will approach you which you will only be able to overcome and endure with profound faith in Me. Then you will need much more strength and also receive it from Me if you trustingly turn to Me and appeal for grace and supply of strength. You would be filled with anxiety if you knew the day and hour when I will express Myself, and therefore you should use the short period of time as far as possible to increase your soul's maturity, for then you must come forward and instruct your fellow human beings at every opportunity, especially when questions are asked, when desperate people are helpless in the face of the events and their consequences and call for God and yet are unbelieving. Then you must enlighten them and emphasise My love for people who are in danger of losing themselves completely and can no longer be guided onto the right path in any other way. And then you must have conviction yourselves, your faith must be unshakeable, otherwise you will not be able to promote Me and My kingdom, otherwise you will not be suitable labourers in My vineyard. I will fill you with strength at all times if you feel weak and call upon Me for help.... I will help you in all earthly and spiritual adversity so that you will evidently recognise Me and believe in Me.

Amen
