4407 "My kingdom is not of this world...."

August 17, 1948: Book 51

To you, My faithful, I call out: Avoid the world, for it is a danger to you; consider that My kingdom is not of this world, that My kingdom has nothing to do with this world. But humanity is under the spell of the world and seeks to destroy Me and My kingdom, but it will not succeed, for where My spirit is active, where My true church is, the world has already lost its appeal. The followers of My church only seek Me and no longer allow themselves to be beguiled by pomp and splendour, which is this world's characteristic. Therefore I want to proclaim to you that all striving for external splendour, all building up of material works which are to be consecrated to Me, is useless, for I Myself intervene destructively again because humanity no longer recognizes Me but shall recognize My hand which gives a clear sign of My will. But you should free yourselves from all externality if you want to be true servants to Me, you should only strive for My kingdom alone, you should not allow yourselves to be tempted to regard your knowledge as untrustworthy due to the objections of those who are still in the midst of the world; you should only look for Me alone and let yourselves be taught by Me and reject and drop everything that is still connected to the world. If you want to fight for Me and My kingdom you must see everything in My word, and you will need no external form, no actions visible to the world; you need only unite with Me in thought, receive My word and pass it on in love to those who are of the same spirit as you or who are still to be won over for Me, who are not pleased with the show, who are inward and seek. Tell them about My kingdom, which is not of this world, share the gospel with them, for you will be successful with them. But anyone who still looks towards a behaviour which obviously has a pagan character is not a candidate for My kingdom if he still attaches the slightest value to this behaviour. I am not in the world, I am not in the show, but I dwell where the world is not respected, where a believing heart is ready to receive Me, and I take possession of this heart, I take possession of it and never leave it. And therefore you, My servants, should also avoid all external appearances, you should only withdraw into silence and establish contact with Me, and My kingdom will be with you, I Myself will come to you in the word, and great blessings will arise from every contact with Me. My kingdom is not of this world.... recall these words and you will know what to think of events which obviously have a worldly character and therefore have to be condemned by those who belong to My true church, the church which I Myself founded and which alone will remain in existence for all eternity....

Amen
