4443 Presentation of the divine word great help....
September 26, 1948: Book 52
The presentation of My word is associated with an extremely great spiritual help, for it is a visible sign of supernatural activity so that the human being can gain a firm foothold again if his faith has wavered. He has a certain guarantee that his thinking is correct if it led him to believe in a life outside of earth, he can move with certainty into an area which seemed to him to be only fantasy and is also portrayed as such by worldly-minded people. But thus a ray from the spiritual kingdom touches people who are still earthbound, and only their will is necessary to recognize the ray as originating from the spiritual kingdom. But if this will is present, then the connection between both worlds is already established. A bridge has been found on which the human being can enter the spiritual kingdom unhindered. And thus he can also believe.... Thus, through the presentation of My word I help the human being to attain a convinced faith, although this, too, is still dependent on free will. I help him but do not compulsorily determine his faith.... And thus it can be seen that I help you humans and constantly influence you with My grace, but that you must let the grace work on you yourselves if you want to partake of My help. The last days bring such great upheavals that a firm faith is absolutely necessary in order to stand firm, and no-one would keep his faith in view of the brutal means which are used to fight the faith if the human being could not gain a convinced faith with My help first. Since the time of the battle of faith is imminent I still try to influence people such that they can become convinced beforehand and establish the right relationship with Me. And therefore I speak to you through a person who hears My word directly and can also pass it on. This is an act of grace which is caused by people's extraordinary weakness before the end. The distance from Me is too great and cannot easily be bridged if it is not based on a firm faith in Me as a loving, wise and almighty God. I try to help you gain this firm faith and therefore reveal Myself to you by speaking to you from above in such a way that you will be able to recognize Me if you are willing, if you make use of the blessings I bestow upon you in My love and mercy for the weak beings in great adversity which once originated from Me and shall return to Me again. For as soon as they gain faith in Me they will be saved for eternity....
Amen
