4119 Recognizing the voice of God....

September 10, 1947: Book 50

Anyone who loves Me also recognises My voice and will obey it. But to anyone who loves the world My voice is alien, for it does not sound as he desires. And for this reason, My voice from above will not be heeded either, because only a few people turn away from the world but most are still slaves to the world and thus unable to recognise My voice. And yet, I also express Myself to them in order to have them wondering. For there are only very few where you, My servants on earth, will be successful, (10.9.1947) because people completely lack the belief that I speak to people on earth in a form which manifests My love for them. It is only My great love for My living creations which causes Me to reveal Myself because they are in great distress and I want to help them; because I do not want to influence them in a coercive way, otherwise I would speak audibly from above in a way that they would have to recognise Me. I want to be recognised but the will to do so has to originate from My living creations themselves. Then I will so obviously approach them that it will be easy for them to believe in Me and to love Me. And then the right relationship between My living creations and Me will also have been established, the relationship of a child to its father.... then I will be able to seize it and take it into My special care, I will be able to give it what it needs and I will be able to induct it to the truth, and this will be recognised as originating from Me and find complete faith. And anyone who has once recognised My voice will be a willing servant to Me, for he is happy to be able to serve Me because he loves Me. And thus love and the gift of recognition will always be together. Only someone who feels love for Me will be able to recognise the divine origin in My word, in My gift of grace from above, and therefore accept it as a revelation which is certainly addressed to all people but which requires the will for truth before it has an effect on people. They will experience the blessing of My voice in themselves, they will be happy on earth already and will never be able to weaken, for anyone who receives a gift of grace from Me Myself is My child whom I always want to help to gain strength so that it will not live weakly through earthly life and can fulfil its purpose of earthly life....

Amen
