4545 Necessity and blessing of spiritual work....

January 19, 1949: Book 52

Only that which remains eternally is of value to the soul, and only that which brings success to the soul should be striven for, otherwise the human being wastes his strength which is given to him for the purpose of the soul's ascent development. The human being's thoughts constantly revolve around earthly questions and obligations, yet all these questions are solved for the spiritually striving person and every assistance is granted to him for the fulfilment of earthly duties. And this is why spiritual striving is the most important, for then the human being will comply with both insofar as spiritual beings will also assist him with earthly demands, as soon as the human being first thinks of his soul and meets its requirements. But you humans lack faith in the support of otherworldly forces, which is why earthly worries always and constantly weigh you down and prevent you from the spiritual activity which you offered yourselves to Me to accomplish for Me and My kingdom. Why do you have doubts that you are not up to the work? If I promise you My support you can carry out any work without hesitation, it will be blessed by Me and therefore always feasible for you as soon as you put spiritual work first and thereby secure My blessing. I need you and therefore also help you in every way. People's spiritual hardship is becoming ever greater, the possibility to help ever smaller, because only few people can be found who have directed their senses spiritually and are therefore suitable as a link between Me and people. Only through them can I help people in their great adversity, because I can speak to them through them.

And it is necessary that I speak to people.... although they don't recognize My voice, they don't attach great importance to the words which reach their ears through human mouths; nevertheless, they must hear what I have to say to them so that they cannot feign ignorance if they have to answer for it. They shall have knowledge of My will and receive this knowledge from My servants on earth. Understandably, I will now also give My servants on earth what they need because they are willing to serve Me. But they must always put the activity for Me and My kingdom in the foreground, then every earthly worry will be taken away from them, they will be cared for like children to whom all the father's love applies. The work for My kingdom is extremely important, for the earthly world will pass away but the soul will not pass away with it, instead it will continue its life in the kingdom of the beyond, and therefore it shall be thought of first, then the earthly work will also be blessed, it will be able to be accomplished because the human being will be granted support by spiritual beings who is active as a labourer in the vineyard of the lord....

Amen
