4332 God’s word necessary for attaining maturity of soul....

June 13, 1948: Book 51

Receiving My word is indispensable for attaining maturity of soul, and therefore it is of utmost importance to be in direct contact with the spiritual kingdom, with the giver of truth, with the eternal word Itself. My will has to be proclaimed to you humans in a form, just as your earthly task has to be presented to you in order to be able to fulfil it. And thus I will always make sure that My word is made accessible to you, but I will also always make it dependent on your will to enter into the blessing of My word. In the last time before the end your will is completely inactive, and you would lose My blessing if I left it up to you to desire and listen to My word. I must come to your aid in an extraordinary way, I must try to win you over by unusually offering what is of utmost importance for your soul. I must confront you with My word where you least expect it, I must disturb you in the midst of earthly life and speak to you because you no longer accept it elsewhere or only listen to it and let it rustle your ears. I try everything to make you receptive for My word, to awaken in you the desire to be nourished by Me because I want to win you for eternity. And thus it must also be understandable to you that I choose servants for Myself on earth to whom I assign the work of promoting Me and My kingdom, to whom I give the opportunity to speak to you outside of this place, otherwise you would be able to receive My word if you desired it. You do not seek My word, therefore My word seeks you.... And in the last days before the end this will be so obvious that your thoughts will be directed towards Me and My word that you will have to become suspicious if only you pay attention and have the will to recognize it. My servants will indeed often be attacked and find little faith that they are active as My representatives on earth, nevertheless, their work is not done in vain, for in view of the great adversity which will still befall the earth My word will also resonate in people who previously took notice of it, albeit unwillingly and seemingly without success. And many a seed will still sprout and reach maturity, and thus I will bless the work for Me and My kingdom and admonish you again and again to be restlessly active....

Amen
