4481 Sounding word....

November 8, 1948: Book 52

You must be in a particularly devout state of mind if you want to hear the sounding word within you. You must be completely permeated by love for Me and thereby also so united with Me that you feel Me present, that you sense Me to a certain extent and thus can also hear My voice as clearly spoken words which will touch you in a very strange way. My presence has now become certainty for you, you now have proof of what you had only believed until now; but since your faith is profound I can also provide you with the proof without putting you into a state of forced faith. Yet this gift of grace results in a state of deepest calm and quiet bliss and increased will for spiritual activity. Yet it will not remain a permanent state for the time being but only a crowning of particularly loving devotion to Me until the actual mission begins, which requires a constant ability to hear My word. Yet you are free to enter into intimate contact with Me if you want to, and therefore a constant striving upwards is necessary, a more frequent immersion in yourselves and listening to My spirit, which always makes itself known to you if you desire to hear it. And you will increase in maturity of soul, you will now eagerly carry out spiritual work and always be able to be certain of My love and grace....

Amen
