4495 Spiritual power supply through prayer and love work....

November 25, 1948: Book 52

Spiritual strength is necessary if the human being wants to free himself from the state which is a bound state as a result of the past apostasy from Me. This spiritual strength is available to everyone but it has to be requested through prayer or acquired through loving activity. Thus the human being's will must always have become active in order to make contact with Me. The human being can indeed accomplish works of love without conscious striving towards Me, without the intellect being involved, whereas the intellect is also active in prayer, which indeed produces a prayer without the involvement of the heart, which does not reach My ear, but in connection with the heart will always achieve what the human being asks for. Hence a call for the supply of strength, for My help, which comes from the heart, will always result in the supply of strength, and a person who is capable of intimately, i.e. in spirit and in truth, will inwardly feel urged to be lovingly active, for this is already My answer, proof of My spiritual strength flowing to him, that love awakens in him towards Me and also towards his fellow human beings and lets him carry out works of unselfish neighbourly love which earn him increased strength, and thus he can now redeem himself.... He breaks the shackle which has held his soul captive until now, it becomes free and now ceaselessly strives upwards, it pushes towards the spiritual kingdom, its true home.... it escapes the state of bondage, and it will use its will at all times according to My will because it has given up its resistance against Me. A thought turned towards Me can already earn you humans the strength to want what is right and to do what is right.... which is why you truly don't have to accomplish anything difficult in order to initiate the release from the bound state, it is only ever your will to establish the connection with Me in your heart, yet you have to muster this yourselves or you will act under compulsion, which cannot earn you success. Ask for strength and you will receive, for if you want to mature spiritually you will not make a wrong request. I help you to achieve the aim of becoming free from every form, to become free from the bonds of satan in order to be able to enter the original state again, to work and create as light, powerful beings in all freedom for your own happiness....

Amen
