4380 "Where two or three in My name....“

July 19, 1948: Book 51

I am in the midst of My congregation, i.e. of those who believe in Me and are in living contact with Me, who have entered into this connection with Me through works of neighbourly love and thus draw life-awakening strength from Me.... Spiritual life is meant by this, and thus I am in the midst of those who come together in spiritual striving. "Where two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them...." Thus is My promise.... but what does it mean: in My name? When can they lay claim to My presence, for it is not a specific place which guarantees them this presence but people have to be in a state which corresponds to My way of life on earth, they have to take Me as their example and thus live 'following Jesus' and in this endeavour gather together to remember Me and to draw strength from Me in prayer. Then they will be mentally united with Me and can ask for the same things Jesus asked for, and they will find an answer in every adversity. I Myself am close to them, for their striving to follow Me attracts Me; they have the aim of belonging to Me and their way of life will then correspond to My will. They must be fully convinced of My mission, they must see in Me the divine redeemer Who lived on earth, but they must also recognize the deity in Jesus and thus call upon Him as God. And My name must be sacred to them and for the sake of My name they must also always expect their prayer to be answered.... People must believe in the power of My name which guarantees that I Myself am amongst you if you faithfully pronounce it and remember Me. For the sake of My name I have assured you the fulfilment of every request. I am present to anyone who is deeply devout and speaks My name with fervour, and thus I will always be where people are together who have found each other in faith in Me and also want to work together for Me and My kingdom.... They will never lack strength because My presence always means the supply of strength for all who desire strength....

Amen
