4505a Understanding the word guaranteed for seekers....

December 8, 1948: Book 52

Constantly increase your knowledge and seek to gain it through Me. Then the darkness of night will be broken through, it will be bright in you, the light of knowledge will have flared up brightly in you, and if you recognize Me you will also love Me and keep My commandments.... Thus My word is the first and most important thing, for only My word can make you knowledgeable, only through My word do you learn to recognize and love Me, and only My word makes My will known to you and admonishes and warns you of good and evil. And thus you must listen to My word and go wherever it is offered to you if you do not receive it directly from Me. Although you can receive it everywhere, people are not willing to convey the pure, unadulterated word to people everywhere, and what is offered to them is no longer pure and unadulterated. But I want you to become knowledgeable and to be instructed in all truth. And so that you will recognize My voice when I speak words of love and wisdom to you, I will first make Myself known. I do not suddenly approach any of My creatures but prepare them for it by causing them through suffering to enter My succession.... thus to love and to suffer.... always with surrender into My will. Then the human being will also shape himself as it is God's will, he will mature in wisdom, he will live in a state of knowledge. I Myself want to bless you with knowledge, I want to introduce you to My reign and activity so that you will learn to believe again in a living way. You must be offered faith in Me in a form that you are also able to believe, even though your intellect is also active in the process.

I Myself instruct you and kindle the light in your hearts which shall enlighten you in the midst of spiritual darkness and from My hands you will be able to receive extensive knowledge if it is your will and you ask Me for it, for I distribute the truth to all who desire it....

Amen
